Just wondering if anyone knows who is the Bandluxe dealer in Kuwait (if you don’t know what is BanLuxe, its for wireless internet routers and USB modems), if there is No dealer here in Kuwait, is there any in Dubai? if the answer is No again then my last question, is there any shop that sells wide range of Bandluxe products here in Kuwait or even Dubai?

He looks like sij mayghashmeer! 🙂

Mom just finished watching a 45-episodes of an Iranian series of Prophet Joseph’s (AS) story. After finishing it she sat and told us how sad she is that it ended, and that she enjoyed it one hundred percent. As she was telling us about the series’s highlights, she mentioned a specific scene that she thought was interesting.

The scene:

A monk telling Prophet Joseph how he led the people to believe that the status of the ancient God, Amon, was talking to them. He said he used to hide behind the status and talk to them, and that the temple’s wide interior spaces would carry his voice, distort it and make it sound as if it came from the status itself. And by doing that he gained lots of money from their offerings.

Why did she find it interesting, we asked?

She said:

Because it just shows that men faking religiousness existed for thousands of years, and there was always a bunch of people who followed blindly. We have that now. History repeats itself.

My friend is selling US iTune cards and some other interesting products. He was one of the first people selling the latest blackberry bold, and he will be having those sort of electronics and products as they become available.

Fairouz is amazing. Her musicals are great. My favorite musical is Baya3 AlKhawatim, ofcourse, and 9a7 Alnom has to be a second favorite, then comes The days of Fakhr Aldein and some others. I love the production and how simple the sound is and ofcourse her voice.. (I’m stating the obvious I know).

The lyrics especially are deceivingly simple. The writers are really good, those Rahbany brothers, They write about real every day life, and throw in many hidden, and sometimes not so hidden, jabs at the political scene and country’s top people.. I love how they mix their political views and worries with romance and love. I think it’s a great mix, a smart mix! Making somber topics so easy to digest is smart. And to top it off, all of the lyrics still ring true and are as fresh as the day they were written.

If you haven’t heard صح النوم yet, you should. It’s amazing. Here is a bit about it from the Booklet:

People stand around the public square, awaiting full moon, petitions to build houses and shops in hand for the Wali to sign. The Wali wakes up only on such a day every month and signs three petitions only to preserve the state’s historical stamp.
Among the crowd, Krunful, petition in hand, waits for the Wali to stamp it. Six full moons had passed and her petition was not stamped yet. The Wali appears, as the moon rises in the sky. Cheers are heard as the traditional ceremonies start. People rush and place their petitions in front of the Wali who selects three, stamps them and being overcome by slumber goes back to sleep. When the square becomes deserted, Krunful who hid behind the Wali’s chair, steals the official stamp and stamps all petitions, then throws the stamp into an old empty well. Petitioners, seeing their petitions stamped, start working. A month passes by, the Wali wakes up and discovers the theft of the the stamp. Interrogations reveal that Krunful as the theif. She is sentenced to be tied to a wild horse and let loose for the rest of her life. But the sentence needed the stamp to validate it.

Just found out that Bread Talk now opened in Mishref’s co-op.

Thanks ANM

Soon there will be wedding hall in Mishref next to NBK’s branch. I don’t think this is the perfect location for it.

Tea Forte is available at The Nut Tree in Baitak tower. Tea Forte is a well known brand (if there was ever such a thing as a high end tea, it is this) I thought it was only available at Tea Art shop in AlMuthanna. Both shops are for the same owner.

In case God forbid any of you encounter a problem with a stuck accelerator pedal, this is how to solve the problem. Step on the breaks and turn the vehicle into neutral. If that didn’t work then turn off the engine.

All NBK branches employees have this badge on and it’s about their salary transfer offer. Transfer your salary and get a chance to win KD5000. 8 winners weekly.

P.S. Guys don’t forget to give your friends who work at NBK a hard time for turning into walking ads. We’re doing our best with ours 😛

Update:

And this is a shirt for the same offer to go along with the badges. Not sure though who is supposed to wear it, but I’m guessing it’s for employees at the NBK kiosks in malls.

I finally got a new battery. It’s been an ongoing hassle for months now with the laptop and it’s old dead battery. I don’t know why it died and I’m not sure what to do to protect the new battery. The laptop feels better when you don’t worry about accidentally unplugging the charger and have your laptop go dead while working (by working I mean surfing amazon and looking at blogs).

Thanks Mishary for the battery and the long bill that came along with it 😛

I was sent this video via an email, and I just had to share it with you. It’s Dr Norman Finkelstein’s speech at the University of Waterloo. Dr Finkelstein’s mother and father and his family from both side suffered in concentration camps, and some of them were exterminated. That experience, instead of making him play the victim’s role for the rest of his life, it made him speak against brutalization everywhere, and more importantly against the “holocaust industry” and the concept of forcing guilt out of people to justify Israel’s cruelties and injustices.

Thanks Taymoor

You know when you hear about something for the first time and then you find everybody talking about it later? well that happened on thursday.

I heard about a ridiculous new fad (Kuwaitis never fail to surprise me with their fads) about a new popcorn place that opened in Dubai, called Garret popcorn. People have been going crazy about it in kuwait and have their relatives or friends, whoever is going to Dubai, bring them some of this special popcorn Read the rest of this entry »

Just came from Aberdeen, finally home… sweet home.

I went for the first time yesterday and I loved it. It has this beautiful Kuwaiti energy all around it and unlike any of the other exhibitions I attended, all of the attending people are actually happy to be there. The attendants were from all age groups, old men and women on wheelchairs and walking sticks, and girls all in their best Eid attires.

The booths were all nicely set. Lots of creative ideas, and some not so creative ones. Lots of maids doing their backstage work.. well don’t get me wrong, lots and lots of booths were run by their Kuwaiti owners, but some of them were a joke, but they were little and far in between.

I’m proud of them. I couldn’t take many pictures coz there were lots of people on thursday and it was hard to take pictures.

Do you where can I find Quran written in English language in Kuwait? Because I need to send some for the guys here in Aberdeen, they are interested in reading it.

½ cream milk was nice enough share some of the pictures he took while at P2Bk today. These are some random pictures of the place and the booths.
