Today I had a quick tour at the recently opened health and fitness club named Inspire Pure Fitness at Bida’a, I’ve been numerous times to Bida’a but never noticed it because there were no signs, its located nearby Melenzane restaurant. They welcomed to give me a brief tour along with their manager.

My first question to them “What is different about your gym since we already have many in Kuwait?”, their answer was the trainers and fitness experience they have, I liked how the gym was spacious and neat.

The gym is mixed, some of the facilities included group fitness studio, free weights area, treadmills, punch bags, kick bags, kettle bells, different fitness equipment, private lockers, changing rooms, and nice reception area spread on two levels. I liked how the training machines were located next to windows with nice landscapes, this helps with exercise.

They provide personal training sessions and advice on how to achieve the required fitness level.

Shortcomings: There was no swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room or cafeteria and their reasoning is that they want to focus on fitness rather than SPA experience. Also I wish they lower their prices so more people can afford it.

I received great news that construction works for Al Hamra tower have completed today. The Al Hamra company said they chose the date 11/11/2011 to announce the completion of the project with some in-progress finishing works.

There will be a special lighting show at Hamra tower tomorrow’s evening at 7:00 PM, and since its the tallest building in Kuwait so you will have no problem to see it and enjoy it.

I was driving nearby Green Island waterfront and I saw that there were tuned-up cars expo going on so I decided to check it out. Later I learned the expo was organized by Dub Kuwait, a group of Kuwaitis interested in Tuning-up cars.

There were some good looking cars, but majority were average though this is good effort of them.

We have a lucky winner today ! Last night we had a guessing competition and many participated, and the correct answer is:

1.3MILLION birds take flight at the same time - creating an instant migration; A shot by photographer Mike Hollingshead in Missouri State”. We hinted that Google has a new option to search by image, the winner was randomly selected by Random.org

Congrats to the winner and hard luck to the others, we promise to make many competitions soon and give you many more chances to win nice prizes with us !

Note: All incorrect answers were discarded in the draw.

I was at Sultan Center looking for a magazine and saw a bunch of little boys and girls standing by the magazines rack, and I found the reason is our little star “Justin Bieber”. I stood nearby and subtly said “Justin Bieber is  just a little kid”, and in a matter of secs a little cute girl reading a magazine replied “Yeah that’s what I like about him”. :)

These cute little fans will do anything to bring Justin Bieber to Kuwait !

I saw it back in August at ODEON, the same one at London Marble Arch and it will hit Kuwait theaters tomorrow. So far I find this part the best one of all with regards to the storyline and directing.

This part goes back to the beginning and explains how an under-research medicine for humans was tested on apes , but as consequence it  made their brains develop. This movie discusses evolution theory (Charles Darwin), and has one of my favorite actors, James Franco. Though I didn’t like the title, they could have used something more unique.

Score: 8/10

We got an invitation by Fasttelco for the biggest games tournament in Middle East which started today at 4:00 PM and continues till 10 PM.

 

[YouTube link]

Literally, hundreds of hardcore gamers from Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, KSA and Oman came to compete. Prizes were MacBooks, iPads, Large Sony LED TV’s, iPhones..etc, I really want a big TV !

The games were Call of  Duty 6, FIFA soccer, Street Fighter, World of War craft, Tekken.

Its nice to see such events in Kuwait, at least the young guys can enjoy instead of only going to the malls.

The tournament is sponsored by Fasttelco, and organized Gamerz Zone, and Devils Game.

Fasttelco says they have new ADSL service called “Game Pal” especially for gamers with dedicated IP addresses to play online with faster speeds.

We received this really great idea from Eshraq Girl’s Center:

Since schools will be starting again very soon, volunteers from Eshraq Girl’s Center had decided to collect used school bags and supplies for students who cannot afford it. So far they have managed to collect a few from family and friends, but they need some support in order to receive the highest number of donations. Deadline will be on the 24/8 insha’allah, excellent idea !

Address: AlSalam area, block 6, street 20, house 46.

Phone: 25212816 / 97308669

I took this photo today at 6:40 pm exactly, Gulf Street. The street looked so quiet, full of serenity. I dream that one day we’ll find a solution to the escalataing traffic congestion problem in Kuwait.

Could our salvation be the long awaited Metro project? I can only dream for now.
