I don’t know. The red ghetra is not red enough & I don’t wear plain white ghetras. I also think their logo on ghetras would look a bit tacky.

Pictures were taken in EA’s branch in Mall of the emirates, Dubai.

Thank you loco.

I got this from 9K2HN .. So lets begin and see if any one can solve it?! (i know our readers are SO SMART mashalah) 😛

One day there was a man going to work and The main gate required him to enter a passcode, a 5 digits passcode, The problem is that he forgot those 5 digits.. but he knows that there is some kind of a relation between the numbers. So lets begin with the hints.

The numbers should be entered as follows:

X1 – X2 – X3 – X4 – X5

Now here is the hints to solve it:

• X5 + X3 = 14.
• X4 = X2+1.
• X1= X2 + X2 – 1.
• X2 + X3 = 10.
• X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 + X5= 30.

The first one to get the numbers will get his name posted in here (what a reward huh?) 😛

Thanks 9K2HN

SOLVED!

Less than 20 mins. from posting it K.TheKuwaiti solved it mashalah.

Here are the results:

X1: 7
X2: 4
X3: 6
X4: 5
X5: 8

We got this via email from a mother who thought its really unfair for a bank to have or apply this rule. It might be a rule from the central bank of Kuwait but that does not make it right.

Here is what she wrote:

There is something that happened to me today that left me quite offended. You know the jawhara account in NBK? I went to open an account for my son and since I’m the mother I had to sign some papers stating that If my son won anything, I can’t touch nor withdraw the prize, even my son can’t touch the money until he’s 21 years old. What shocked me was when they told me that I should let the father open the account since the father CAN withdraw the money if my son ever wins. Now this I don’t get. They trust the father to act responsible and assume that he’s trustworthy and I, the mother who wants to start the account, am not!

He might be a good father, and know what is best for the family and I’m sure that most of the fathers are trustworthy, I’m not saying otherwise, But he might spend the money the wrong way too.. and if you’re giving him the right to watch over the son’s money, well, I’m the other parent! and I think I should be given the same right.

This rule also implies that when the son turns 21 he’s going to be more wise than me with his money. This rule/law also implies that the father and the 21 year old son are wiser and more trustable than the mother in any age. ta’7alof!

Ofcourse now I’m going to withdraw the money and put in my account, so just incase I win, I can make my whole family and everyone happy.

Thanks c’est la vie for sharing this with us 🙂

Finally! You don’t need a US credit card to purchase songs off iTunes store anymore! All you need to do is buy an iTunes gift card from Ebay!

It all started when the mighty mouse above made an appearance to the girls attending that lecture in GUST‘s new campus in Mishref. According to my source, some girls screamed and others hopped on their chairs. 😛

More from the source herself:

Well it was a typical day at GUST; it was my last boring class Management & Organization behaviour from 2:00-3:20pm.

As I was wondering around thinking what will I have for lunch today…
SUDDENLY! From the quiet -boring atmosphere one of the STUDENTS SCREAMED HER HEAD OFF…SCREAMING MOUSE! MOUSE! Her scream (can wake up patients in coma!)

We all jumped from our seats looking for this little ugly creature as we thought and it turned out he’s this little, cute, harmless thing!

Professor’s reaction: (Ooh! Here is the little guy)
Girl’s reaction: (Majority of them ran screaming out of the class! And the rest took pictures of the little creature!)

We surrounded the baby mouse until the security calmly came in and carried the mouse from his tale to the outdoors of the university.

The shocking thing is that about 2 weeks ago on a Saturday, in the same class! One of the sections had a midterm exam and suddenly the same thing happened, but what’s worse than that is they had to fold their legs on the chair and take the exam with pounding hearts! And watch the mouse running around!

I bet they did well on the exam!!!

What a shame! A new campus, it’s HUGE with high TECH. equipments, with uncontrolled temperature it’s either FREEZING or HUMID! And it’s a university where not only students can learn but believe it or not… It’s for “mice” to live and learn!

Thanks Wa6n_3Mri

Just saw it on the Rachel Ray show. If you’re one of those people who love to take care of their purses and its cleanliness then this thing is for you. If you’re also worried about it getting stolen then this is a good investment too! (I’m aware that I sound like a commercial)

Costs $35 – $79. LINK

Yes, our lovely dowaniya has left! We decided to start the move at midnight to avoid any traffic jams in the streets.

I think Ali and Abdullah know how much time we spent in this dowaniya (talking, studying and gathering) we spent some beautiful times there, i will never forget you, Bye Bye dowaniya. 🙁

Today i was reading Mark’s Forum and found that Amazon.com will apply tax to any NY address! here is what cajie wrote:

“We have been enjoying tax-free shipping from Amazon to NY, but it looks like this is going to change in the near future. I always used to hate buying from bhphotovideo because they add NY tax to any purchase (as they are based in NY).”

Since the weather has been shifting to madness by the second I thought you might find this site, KuwaitStorm, helpful to decide whether to stay indoors or go out. I know I’ll be checking it from now on before I make posts like “Enjoy the weather this weekend.” 😛

You might want to check Yahoo Weather too. My brother seems to like it.

Thanks Hamad.

A couple of days ago Me and INM were in Hadi Hospital and INM noticed something weird! Guys if you concentrate in the picture above you gonna see it. got it? They built a small satellite dish to stand for the “RECEPTION” area. come on now! It was very cheap looking and out of place!

Thank you INM for taking this picture, because it was very hard to stand in front of these guys and take a picture of their lovely dish!

I was torn between the Ketchup, cheese, Hot & Spicy and The one above. I’m sorry to tell you all that I made a bad bad… bad decision. It tastes like something that shouldn’t be tasted by anyone and What’s killing me is that the taste lingers.. it’s not going away!

What a nice way to memorize! walla these people are creative even with learning. Where were they when we were still in school!

Thanks pumkinah

Someone from Kuwait airways obviously got pissed at my Kuwait Airways Sells DVDs? post and is insulting me in the comment section.

Here are his comments

“go die yousef you know nothing about kac just talk bad about us so childish and bastardo dont fly with us go and fly with some one who dont give a shish about you and treat you like a dog you are heeeeeheeeeehheee”

“and bastardo yousef show your shishy face so we can sue your (…) for insulting our effort and next time basterd when you get to your destination safely know that pilots got you to where you want to go routen apple ok wa khalik ryalll”

Funny. Considering my uncle was one of the people who established Kuwait Airways back in the 50’s.
