Today we went to LuLu Hypermarket “its located in 4th ring road” its similar to City Center or big jam3eya .. it was crowded with Indians ! alot of them ! So we walk around and found this amazing arabic translation.

Here is the English version of the advertisement.

Aaand NOW the translation begin:

el tarjamaaaa bel Kuwaiti el Hindi ! chena hindi ga3ed ekalemna 3arabi !

My internet problem is not going to be fixed soon. I called and complained many times, but today the nice lady ba6at’ha and told me to adjust to life without internet, she said “problems like this one never get solved quickly, its going to take up to 20 days to be solved”. yafar7ety! 😀 i’ve been having low connection for about 10 days before it stopped working, so, i’m guessing it’ll need another week to get fixed..

I’m in a cafe (pic shown above) in city center dubai. i just had lunch in the noodle house (yes again). Mishary, hold on tight! i’m gonna be posting a lot more.. SOON!… just wait for 10 more days 😛

Me & Yousef wishing all the readers a happy Eid.

SPOILERS AHEAD

The movie’s title was “The Golden Age”, a thing we never saw throughout the entire movie, there was no golden age in that movie. the whole freedom and prosperity were enjoyed after we left the theater, coz it ended when england prevailed. all we saw was the terror. the terror of a catholic king, trying to force the nations around him to submit to Christianity as He knew it, claiming its God’s will. see here is where the new (more efficient) form of terrorism first came to the scene IMO. not individual terrorist, not a group of people, But a whole nation of terrorists! killing and invading countries with the excuse of following God orders (more like following the nations’ interest imo). in the old age it was about whatever threatens Catholicism, and now its about what threatens certain nations’ national security… History repeats itself.. I guess..

Anyway! King philip of spain, a real catholic, wants to invade England and restore christianity in its most pure form. he’s doing so by plotting a very evil plan of letting Queen elizabeth execute Queen Mary of Scots (Mary Stewart) and by doing so, he’d find an excuse to invade and kill Q.Elizabeth. Mary was, according to the movie, writing secret letters to help plot the assassination of Queen Elizabeth. the letters were intercepted by Queen Elizabeth’s people and were eventually used against Mary, which ultimately led to a swift trial that ended with the beheading of Mary. And the war began.

overall I liked the movie and recommend it. I generally like movies that have historic events (I like them less if there were lots of killings), Cate blanchett did an oscar worthy job. She was nominated for an oscar in 1998 for the same part (this movie is a sequel, in case you don’t know).

Movie’s Site

we were still in sheikh zayed’s road at 7:25, so obviously we weren’t going to catch the check-in’s dead line (7:30). I told my sister in law to call the airport just to check if there were any delays on their plane’s schedule.. we were desperate! and my brother prayed for their flight to get delayed by 1 hour. and what do you know!! his prayers got answered! their flight was indeed delayed until 9:30! which means their check-in’s dead line was also pushed an hour to 8:30!

We called the airport again to check if the check-in too was open for an extra hour, just in case, and they said YES. so, now that we can finally breath better and take our time, we thought of using the extra time to go for a quick dinner at The Noodle House in the emirates towers. that plan was immediately shot down by my brother, “we don’t have much time!” he said.. 😀 saj wallah! lol *i don’t know what we were thinking, I guess we were just so happy with the delay*

at 8 o’clock we were at the airport saying our goodbyes. I called loco on my way back and told him all about the deadlines and how it all worked out at the end. 20 minutes later I was very close to my apartment and then.. BANG! I got this sms from my brother “we missed the plane”. I immediately called him and it turned that although the plane’s departure time was pushed back for an hour, the checkin time stayed the same!! it stayed at 7:30! the guy in the Jazeeraairways said that they should’ve checked in by 7:30 no matter how many hours the plane gets delayed…. can you believe this? I mean what if it got pushed for 4 hours?? why on earth would I want to check in and then wait in the duty free for HOURS to board the plane? jazeera airways suck. BOYCOTT anyone?

anyway, I turned back and picked them up. we wanted to waste some time until their 2am flight (on emirates airways this time) so we ended up having dinner in The Noodle House afterall! 3ala ra’ey ilmasal, “God works in mysterious ways” 😀

My brother and his wife are here for the weekend. I went out with them and we had dinner in Segreto, an italian restaurant in souk madinat jumeirah. the food was great! the service was nice but they were slow with the courses. they had to offer free “courtesy of the Chef” samples just to keep us from eating their heads off.

today my brother called me and told that he forgot his credit card in the restaurant! and the state of emergency began! I called the the restaurant many times and they assured me that they haven’t received any lost credit card. I even talked to our waiter and he too said that he’s sure there were no credit cards in the lost and found and that we took the card for sure. My brother had recently got that credit card after working so hard to improve his credit score, he used a company to help him with his credit score here is a full review seen here.

the calls were non stop between me, my brother and the restaurant.. but when my brother called me the last time, he started talking about how he never really put the card back in his wallet after paying.. and that he called the NBK and deactivated the card…. I was tracing back my thoughts as he was talking and thinking about the things we were doing while he was signing the bill..

i remember looking at his signature.. I was standing… we were ready to go.. but he was looking at the bill… i was looking at the credit card….. I picked up the card… the card is in my hands… i slipped the card in my pocket….

. . . YALALHAAWL!!!

Instinctively I rammed my hand in the pocket.. and there it was.. the card was in my pocket the whole time!

140 slides to be studied within 2 days. i studied them and on the day of the exam i forgot them all 😀 how nice! Thank God the exam was done with yesterday and I only have to live with the consoling fact that EVERYONE else in the exam did as bad or worse as I did 😀

Ellen was interviewing Jenna Bush, the president’s daughter. She asked her if she can call her parents at any time and Jenna said that she can. Ellen then put her on the spot by handing her the phone and asked her call her “parents”! Jenna was worried about getting in trouble.. President Bush took it very well.

Since the day before yesterday I haven’t been able to post anything, the 1st reason being I had many school-duties to attend to like exams and homeworks.. and stuff of that nature.. and 2ndly because my internet connection decided to stop working! just like that!

Notice the the connections lights aren’t working

I called my ISP many times and they couldn’t find out the cause of the problem. they kept telling me that they’re running some sort of an update to their software and that their computers can’t detect what was going wrong. (turned out that they had to cut me off coz I didn’t pay the DSL bill for 3 consecutive months 😀 )

Dubai Airport

The airport wasn’t as busy as I’ve expected. the airport was fully decorated with christmas trees, red & white wallpapers and some other nice christmas related decorations. I loved the atmosphere. I’ve always loved Dubai’s airport, its BIG and has everything you need, yet you don’t get tired walking and looking around in it.

Kuwait SWEET Kuwait!

INM picked me up from the airport and NOT Mishary! can you believe it?? he goes on here writing posts about me coming back to Kuwait and then he doesn’t show up at the airport! and instead he went to some other fancy dinner 😛 and neglected his duties as a friend! SHAME ON YOU MISHARY!! 😛

PS dear readers, feel free to bash Mishary (HEE HEE HEE) 😈

Today me and INM decided to go to Kuwait Motor Show 2007 to see whats new. As expected nothing new and nothing special just a few concept cars thats all.

I noticed something wrong and its ONLY done here in Kuwait .. every time there is a show the number of these portable restaurant are more than the cars in the show !! ” walah el 3atheeem kel ma atalafat alga eb kel zawya wa7ed !” and these people r surrounding these small restaurants more than the people on the show it self ! ” chena el nas yaya takel mo etshoof !”.

Here are some pictures of the Motor Show:

At the end i dont recommend you to go there unless if u dont have any other place to go to.

“Kel sena engool esena el yaya me7na ray7een o nerooooo7 ! mako faydaa 🙂 “

“walla dawart 7achy akteba malegait” So NO COMMENTS !

Tomorrow inshalla Yousef gonna come to Kuwait at night and he’s going to stay only around 5 days, So me or INM are going to pick him up from the airport .. Welcome Yousef “Mogadaman” 😛

To start this post i must mention that i got married this year in Jan. and one of the loveliest gifts I received is this M&Ms ((BTW it was from my wife’s best friend)). Its NOT a normal M&Ms “it’s a customized M&Ms” You can have your own name or any word you want written on it.

As you can see above this is a sample from the M&Ms with the word “Mabrook” and the date, it’s such a cool gift and so unusual, I think soon we will be seeing it here in Kuwait in “Gerge3an” .

We started a bit late. My cousin was going to meet our friends (they’re here in Dubai for the weekend) they were going to the shooting range. the last time we went there we had so much fun, but I didn’t feel like going this time. I’m not sure why… so me and loco went to city center, just to waste sometime until its time to have dinner with all the rest. BUT before that, we knew we could not wait without something in our stomachs 😀 so we had a little TASBEERA from Arby’s.

I found Mario Galaxy for Nintendo Wii in Virgin megastore. I was so tempted to buy it, but I don’t have my Wii with me.. I left it in Kuwait..

And then after some surfing around the shops there, we went to Gap, it was fully stocked! better than Kuwait’s branch! aside from the Mens and Women sections it had kids section, baby’s section and infant’s section (not sure whats the difference between baby and infant). I liked it there, I found many things I could use this winter. but since its still autumn/summer in here, I decided not to buy anything.

We finally met with our friends, we were 9 in total and went to The Market Cafe. its a buffet restaurant located in Grand Hyatt hotel in dubai. we go there often, we especially like it when its friday, they have the friday special.. (all you can eat and drink for 120 Dhs LOL!). its a very very good place with VERY good food.

The Salad section. there was a giant wooden bowl where they put the lettuce and whatever else you want in and add the sauces and what not so they can finally mix it and give it to you.

there are different sections for each type of food. there is the pasta section, indian section, Salads, Pizza, Grills, Arabic AND the dessert section. oh and I forgot the drinks section, they have plenty of drinks there, and they make it infront of you and you pick it up yourself.

you can choose what kind of sauce and meats you want and they’ll cook it for you.

The Dessert section. their cheese cake was one of the best (not yesterday’s)

Every dish in there is made specially for YOU. the steak is grilled to your taste so is everything else.

We had a great time. 🙂

Few days ago we heard from friends about a restaurant that specialized in breakfast “it served breakfast ONLY, all day from 9:00 am till 12:00am” that what we was told.

so we went to it at 5:30 pm ” “Yes this is our breakfast :P”.”

it is located in alseef”

So when you enter the restaurant you will face a GIANT menu placed in the wall.

You can see above the place was empty “only us was there” adreey betgoloon meno eroo7 ma63am bel 5.30pm ! 🙂 But it looks small and tiny.

Finally, we sit and ordered 2 omelet eggs with cheese and cappuccino and the NEWS IS: They didnt serve any breakfast at this time ! 6ala3 ma63am 3ady ! o la feeh fekra wala shay ! men chethy fathy !
