I guess everyone just needs to go a little crazy every once in a while! I applaud this guy for his skills though, he really shook it up! Thought this would give you a guys a good laugh, have an awesome day everyone!
I was on the way home and my mom calls me up to go exchange the gas cylinder we have. I reach the place and to my surprise they were finally selling the new light weight gas cylinders. Here are the specs:
- Light weight steel cylinders
– Special Quality Stainless Steel
– More Environmentally friendly (made from recycled materials)
– Only 8 KG
– Safe
– Easy handling (thanks to plastic easy grip handles)
– Fits existing gas regulators
– Aesthetic shape and look
- Exchangeable with old cylinders but you have to pay a little extra (4.500 KD) but if you already have one, you only pay (.750 fils) to exchange the empty cylinder.
I recommend everyone to get one as it is much safer to use, and easier to handle around the house.
What happened to the good old days when no one used to care about what kind of car they drove? There was a time in our lives when using public transportation was often the only means of transport in Kuwait. I remember the stories my father used to tell me about how in the 70′s and 80′s not everyone could afford their own cars so they used public transport to get around Kuwait. Would any of you get on a bus these days? I know I wouldn’t! But honestly, it is really sad that we allow social standards and so-called prestige to shape who we are as individuals. Just because it is “unaccepted” in society to be seen with out the latest sports or fanciest cars we allow ourselves to neglect the simplicity of life. But what happens when the population in Kuwait increases more than it already is? What happens when the prices start to get higher? Where are we going to go with all our luxury cars when traffic congestion in Kuwait will get even worse? The latest feasibility study that came out about the metro project that was supposed to be built in Kuwait by 2020 states that Kuwaitis have certain social standards that will not allow them to ride public transportation; so if they go ahead with the project and build a metro, no one will ride it and a lot of money will be wasted.
So the Million Dinar question is, will we ever start using public transportation just like the good old days or like all modern countries around the world? What do you guys think – Will society strip us of the simplicity of life or will we overcome society and not let the typical standards get in the way?

My friend sent me a photo for Al Shaheed Park (formely known as الحزام الاخضر) completely closed with signs saying that there’s an on going development project for the park. Too bad, I love this park a lot since I spent most of my childhood playing there. I overheard they are building a museum for Kuwait Constitution but I’m not entirely sure. Let’s hope the project doesn’t take long to complete.

After a long exhausting working day I decided to use Gulf street to head back home and next to The Palms Hotel I saw Arabella Project was just opened, this European styled touristic project took so long but it’s finally open. So I decided to park my car and take a quick stroll around it to see what’s opening. As I said in my previous post back in December 2012 the 8,000+ Sq. meter touristic project takes the style of a European architecture with many retail stores, restaurants, cafe’s, Spa & Beauty and sports bar.
The restaurants that were opened so far include:
Le Relais de l’Entrecote
Olive Garden
There were many other opening soon restaurants including:
Long Horn Steak House
Pizzeria Margherita
Starbucks
Coffeeshop Company
Long Horn Steak House
I also came to know that Deer&Dear, Toni&Guy among many other shops and restaurants are also going to open gradually. I suspect Arabella would look great during spring times when the weather is cool and during the evening. Though my only disappointment regards the small parking area, I heard there will be a basement parking but I’m not sure.
Thanks [Tazmania]
Good morning Everyone! Hope you all had a good night’s sleep, I just wanted to clear something up before getting into this morning’s post. If anyone comments in an offensive manner or disrespects either myself, the blog or other fellow readers then the comments will be deleted. You all have the freedom to feel free and express the way you want but within certain limits. I will not tolerate rude or offensive people and I am sure the readers won’t either so please try to keep the comments respectful; you can always get your point across without trashing anyone.
Now that I cleared that up, on Saturday June 15th at 12pm you can now officially change your mobile network without having to change your number! This can happen in a few easy steps:
1) Update your personal data at your current network operator
2) Pay your current balance (at the new network operator)
3) Fill in the required application form available at the operator you wish to switch too
4) Send a free sms with the word port to 7678
That’s it! The number will be switched free of charge within the next 24 hours!
So, what do you guys think? Is this a good thing or bad thing? I know that a lot of companies will probably lose a lot of clients because of this but at the same time I know that if a client is satisfied with his current operator he would never switch, any thoughts?
As Honda launched its collaboration with Al Ghanim, it proved to be number one in customer satisfaction (is it?) As much as I enjoyed the show and all that the Alghanim Honda team had to offer, I was kind of disappointed by the treatment I received by some of the staff. I was asked to change my seat, in a very rude manner, because “the second row is reserved for Al Ghanim Corporates.” Being the nosy person that I am, I turned to the lady next to me, introduced myself and asked her, “so do you work for Al Ghanim?”
“No, I don’t.”
“And the girls sitting in the front row?”
“No, these are my daughters and their cousins.”
Is this the customer satisfaction you have to offer? Lying to your guests JUST because you want to give their seats to someone you know? And even if the seats were reserved, you spent a whole lot of money on the show; you couldn’t have spent a couple extra KD to print out cards that read RESERVED? Sorry Honda, you messed up there. You also messed up when you made us wait two hours just to start the show and when it took almost 40 minutes to set up the stage for Al Jasmy’s band. BUT I must admit other that all that, the show itself was amazing!
They started the night with a traditional Kuwait Band named, “المعيوف و المجلي”
Then there was a switch from traditional Kuwaiti Music to a traditional Japanese band which was really cool.
After that the two different cultures merged to create an amazing mix of music.
And then, the most interesting and best part of the whole show was ASIMO – Asimo, is a robot who can walk, talk, move, shake hands, kick a ball, and dance just like we do!
Let’s not forget the amazing light show..

Thank you Honda for an amazing show but no thanks for the hospitality! Sorry, if I am being harsh but the truth had to be said.
As much as I love writing, I can never fully capture the beauty of Kuwait through my words; but as they say, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” A frequent follower and reader put together a beautiful montage of this year’s celebrations capturing every detail so perfectly. This is Kuwait, these are the people of Kuwait, the youth of Kuwait, the “magic” of Kuwait. Thank you [Amer Abul Burghul] for sharing with me, I am sure the readers will appreciate this.
