Is it true that the whole area where slider station, Burger Hub and prime & toast are located is getting demolished? Clearly the shops closer to the central bank have been evacuated already.. are they next?

Thanks Fawaz

Update Mark wrote about the topic some time ago and got the following response from the owners of slider station & pink moon: “According to the owners of Slider Station and Pink Moon, their building will not be demolished”

I enjoy listening to Christmas songs a lot, and because I’m not Christian, the songs for me aren’t necessarily seasonal, I can listen to them all year long. I mean, I don’t listen to them all year long, that would be overdosing, but when I do put on a song, I don’t wanna stop listening. They’re soothing and calming.

My absolute favorite classic Christmas song has to be O Holy Night, Mariah’s version, which is in my opinion the ultimate version for the song. Another song on Mariah’s Christmas album ‘Jesus oh what a wonderful child’ is also one of my favorites. I especially like her singing toward the end when she let it rip with some very soulful vocals. Other classic song sung by Whitney that I like is joy to the world, very nice rendition, she sung it for her 96 soundtrack, the preacher’s wife, and thank God she did coz her voice back then was still in a good shape for this genre of music. Then there are the famous ones like Nat Coles’ The Christmas song and Evlis’ Blue Christmas… among others.

So anyway.. do you like Christmas songs? What are your favorites?

I was reading Buzberry’s blog and found out a spy photos of the upcoming Nissan Patrol (semi Land Cruiser) which will be released soon. I don’t think its the best time for the people to be released these days since most the people are out of cash 🙂 .. for more pictures click below. 

Update: It seems Mark also posted about it.

I love their logo.

Thanks Mark

Rejoice AC Milan fans! lots of money and publicity coming your way! 😉

Excerpts taken from Channel 4:

David Beckham spoke of his “dream come true” at Milan in a long interview with Sky Italia presenter Ilaria D’Amico.

“Without a doubt this is a dream come true,” he said of the move to the Rossoneri from LA Galaxy on loan until March 9.

“I am aware it’s a difficult situation, as I have been following Milan’s recent games closely. I could’ve played right away, but it is only normal that in a squad there are injuries and I can be among the replacements.

“I think this is an opportunity for me to play with Milan and share the success and history of this great side.

“It is also true that in a team like this you need to do your best and it’s only natural there would be pressure around me and the whole side, but people are different all over the world and in each country.

“I don’t know what the pressure will be like in Italy. I worked with Manchester United and all the pressure generated around that, the same happened in Madrid. I just want a good experience, to see what atmosphere there is in the stadium and that’ll give me real encouragement.”

“I’ll enjoy myself and all, but I will then return to Los Angeles,” said the midfielder when asked by D’Amico if he would stay for longer than three months.

“Victoria has always liked Milan as a city and comes here for the fashion week. We’re staying here for three months. That’s it.”

There was a KDD stand in our co-op yesterday and the woman there was telling us about this new Gaimar (Thick cream) they’re introducing, it’s called Nojoud. The brand KDD isn’t written on the cover but is mentioned that it’s produced by them on the side of the box. We tried it and it turned to be very tasty. I’m not a fan of Gaimar, but since it wasn’t as thick and strong as their other golden packed gaimar, I really liked it. You could eat it with a spoon.

I first read about the new Burger king sliders (mini burgers) from Mark and decided to try them out today. Let me tell you that I was disgusted when I opened the box and took a closer look at the “sliders.”

My cousin recommended this new restaurant and said it specializes in Kuwaiti food. I gave it a try.

It arrived after 45 minutes as promised. I ordered 1 Muchboos Laham and 1 Shabzi stew. Speaking of shabzi.. I’ve been looking around Kuwait for a good marag shabzi but I haven’t come across a really good one yet. All of the shabzis I’ve tried weren’t so good.. any recommendations??

Anyway, The packaging was nice and the food looked very appetizing (much better than the pictures you’re seeing).
