Remember the Oum Kalthoom Exhibition that took place in Bahrain? Well it’s going to take place in Kuwait soon, on the 8th of July at the new 360° Mall to be specific. It’s going to last for awhile so no rush, but you gotta pass by it if you’re ever there, especially the photo gallery, take a look at them. I like looking at old pictures so I really enjoyed them back in Bahrain.
I think this site will be useful coz it can provide you with the name and the phone number for whoever you’re looking for.
From there site:
“With Residential Search you can look for any residential telephone number in Kuwait by typing the person name or any part of it. To be more specific you can select the governorate or area after making your general search”
In order to get the name you have to write the number in Arabic.
I went yesterday to my last diving class for the Advance course I’m taking at Bubbles. It was a night dive. We left the marina at 6:15 and returned sometime around 8:30. It was a 40 minutes dive, I didn’t consume much of my tank, which proved that I was getting better and better at controlling my breathing and that I’m not having a hard time navigating under water.
The night dive is more relaxed than the other dives, and it also kinda humbles you, especially when you get to see the sea creatures, the icky and the marvelous ones. The colors at night are more pronounced, less blue, more natural tones.
As I told you earlier, I’m now done with my advance diving course. I learned the following new things in this course:
1-Navigate using a compass.
2-Natural navigation: The use of compass or observing natural marks and counting steps, so I could dive and come back to my starting point all by myself.
3-Drift diving: as the name suggests; Diving in a drift, go with the flow, which is pretty basic.. and soothing!
4-Search and rescue: How to search for a lost item/person in the sea.
5-Deep diving: We dove to 35 meters under water.
6-And the night dive.
With all that done, I’m now unofficially an advanced diver till I get my license, which is soon 🙂
This diving thing got me hooked. I don’t know why but it feels like this is something that should’ve happened long time ago, I’m enjoying it a bit too much.
I don’t know if anyone is still interested in Nokia but in case there is any, just wanted to let you know that Nokia N97 is available in Kuwait with Arabic keypad, for KD220.
Bloomberg reports that Steve Jobs has returned to work at Apple, resuming his role as company CEO after a six-month medical leave. Welcome back Steve 😉
I bought this box of chewing gum a couple of weeks ago for my friends at the chalet, and I can’t get enough of them ever since. I finished the first batch and now I’m half way through the second one 😛
A week ago my wife tried to order this slipper and each time she tried to check out she ended by getting an error msg. so she kept refreshing and refreshing and refreshing… ect.
According to Bu Rashed, Americana is going to reopen Wimpy fast food joints throughout Kuwait. It’s not comfirmed yet, but wouldn’t that be cool? I don’t remember wimpy in it’s prime but people say, including my father, that it was the IT place back in the day.
I parked right infront of Centre Point Fahaheel when i finished from the diving class, and passed by twice before going in. I was looking for shorts, I don’t go there usually because the place isn’t as inviting as other places are, especially the Fahaheel branch. But I’m glad I went in this time.
Guys the shirts in there are very colorful and summery. Funky is a more suitable word, and they’re dirt cheap! Most cost less than 4 KDs, one of them was only 2 KDs! I ended up with 6 shirts for less than 23 KDs. I didn’t know I was a 7azra that much 😛
They’re extra cool. I wouldn’t wanna miss out if I were you.
“These are Steve Job’s personal use headphones for his old iPod Classic. I work for Jonathan Ive as his secretary. When Mr. Ive had a meeting with Steve Jobs about 4 or 5 months ago, Steve Jobs dropped his headphones and didn’t notice. So I took the headphones with me.”
This is shocking, but according to TMZ, The legend that is Michael Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest and has just died. He was only 50 years old.
Rest of the article:
“We’ve just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.
Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We’re told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.
A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived. A cardiologist at UCLA tells TMZ Jackson died of cardiac arrest.
Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.
We’re told one of the staff members at Jackson’s home called 911.
La Toya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.
Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.
For all BlackBerry users if you’re looking for BlackBerry’s arabic keypads (curve and BOLD) or want to enable arabic fonts or upgrading the OS to the latest ones, call this guy +965-99919546. Skins are also available in different colors and more.
You can get the arabic keypad and upgrade to latest BB OS for KD 20, which is fair enough.
Mariah Carey released her first single “Obsessed” a week or so ago, it’s off of her new album “Memoirs of an imperfect angel.” The song took some time to grow on me. I think it’s fun, relatively brave and confrontational for Mariah, as she used to be subtler at her jabs in the past.
I think the new album is going to be very good and I’m kinda hopeful that it’ll have better vocals than E=MC² (her previous album). But the album cover is disappointing to say the least, I mean it just looks wrong.. and IMO she could’ve been much more interesting visually.
The new album Memoirs of an imperfect angel is going to drop on the august 25th 2009.
I’ve always had this question in mind while traveling, and now since its travels time for most of us, please do tell how you deal with this issue:
While traveling, do you do your prayers as usual? Do you shorten and combine them (Jam3 o Qaser? Or does it depend on how long your stay abroad is?
To me, I’ve asked around a lot and came up with my own collective answer: I combine and shorten the prayers if the trip is for less than 10 days. If its more, I just combine them.

I’ve always had a hard time keeping the books open for me to read, and since I prefer reading the book while in bed, I find it extra hard to keep the book open with my hand holding the book above me.
I searched amazon for a solution and got out with this little book holder/spreader. It arrived 2 days ago and I’ve tried it and so far, it’s working like a charm. It keeps the paperbacks open and has a good firm grip too. I can easily read a book now without struggling to keep the papers from closing in, and also without straining my palm to keep the papers apart.
The product isn’t perfect and it’s got some flaws:
-It won’t handle big books, or real thick ones.
-It’s a bit hard trying to flip the pages. It needs getting used to.
-The color sucks.
