Since 3/4 of Kuwait are now on instagram, I’m sure all of you had encountered the infamous, most annoying comment of last week: Please like 9orat el3o6or ele eb profily. Dear companies, we realize that the use of Social media outlets have been great for your business. I personally salute you for being modern and [...]
Yesterday evening we were sitting outdoors in our tiny corridor/make shift tiny garden. Drinking tea and enjoying the post rain weather when a white car pulls out in front of us in the street and the driver honks to grab our attention while
Ever since I’ve crossed to the iPhone territory earlier this year I have been very happy! My iPhone is dazzling! I keep wondering why it took me so long to purchase one (it was the touch screen thing). The iPhone is like the super device that is not supposed to do anything wrong. HOWEVER! There is one small [...]
Selfridges chocolate hall had, since last December, been selling two new “peculiar” flavors of chocolate: Marmite and Tabasco! I am not a fan of marmite at all so there is no way on earth am I going to try its chocolate, urgh! But the tabasco one? Every time I pass by I look at it, [...]
I was searching online for the post code of my new apartment when I found this website with Kuwaiti post codes (link). What is interesting is even though I didn’t find the post code for Al-Zahraa I found the post code for… Jazeerat Um Al-Namil!!!! Now who on earth would send a postal pacakage to [...]
Lets say that there is a movie that you’ve been waiting forever to see. Its finally released, you finally get tickets, You make it to the movie just in time for it to begin. The theater is booked full. You are equipped with your favorite snack and drink. The show begins. Suddenly… there is something [...]
Something weird is going on and I cannot put my hand on it. A few days ago my Blackberry died on me. Every single piece of information or data was wiped forever from the device. All my contacts, emails, applications, passwords, images, phone numbers, messages, everything was gone in a blink. Nothing was left. Nada! [...]
I read this piece of interesting information on Cosmopolitan magazine yesterday and thought I should share it with you. Apparently if you have the flu and you brush your teeth with your toothbrush there is a good chance that the bug lingers on your toothbrush and could possibly come back to reinfect you. ‘So its [...]
One of the things we enjoy doing is taking long car drives, exploring new things and finding absurd things. Last weekend after breakfast in Ayyame in the Village we drove around f7a7eel and Mahboula and reached the famous Mecca street which is equivalent to share3 el ma6a3em in Salmiya. I saw many
I first noticed this 7ejab style when I was in the airport this last Eid holiday. A Kuwaiti lady with her children were rushing in to check into their flight and she had this look. Its not the turban look no. Its a cotton 7ejab wrapped exactly like every one else except that its folded [...]
For the past week or so I’ve really had a very hard time getting up from bed. It doesn’t matter what time I go to bed: 10, 11, 12… the result is always the same. I would have a very deep almost dreamless sleep and nothing on earth would wake me up. When I eventually [...]
As a blogger and also as a freak magnet I got MANY weird comments. Some are funny, others are rude. I am sorry I used to delete the very early rude comments from my blog or I would have shared them. Yet I still delete the X-Rated comments and would never show those. Below is [...]
Whenever we walk into an electronics store my Butootee heads straight into the newest tablets or phones section and starts jabbing away at the touch screen. I have developed the habit of running before him and screaming “Don’t Touch it! Shoof! Wa9ekh Wa9ekh” before he does. He however always ignores me and touches it anyways [...]
We were driving around last weekend when we saw the strangest hybrid of trees ever. It looks a dead palm tree portruding from a bushy Conocarpus trees! There were a group of them as well. Mo chenna za7ma shway :p
I came home to find my No3man dolly clad in a scarf, Tuareg Nomad style :p When I asked him why he said that since the dust has been away for unusually too long he was not going to take any chances o ‘Ga3ed Yezaheb Eldowa Gabel elFal3a’. Ella 9ej wain el’3bar? Alf el 7md le Allah [...]
2003 was the golden year for internet shopping in Kuwait. The days where I was in Aramex’s office daily picking up huge shipments with competitive prices from all over the world, going home and enjoying the contents. Every thing was smooth and easy. I even subscribed to Vogue and Marie Claire magazines and I got them monthly, [...]

Yesterday I was in 360 Cinescape when I saw an exhibition of the Cinema’s History and artifacts in Kuwait. It is so worth a visit and I enjoyed it very much. What caught my attention however is the stars who once sang in cinema Al Andalus. I knew Abdul halim, fairuz,om Kalthom sang there in [...]
FINALLY! We have been wondering -and frankly secretly agonizing- about what this building was going to be for YEARS! Yes years on end… I marvelled at the beauty of the modern design of the building, I imagined it a funky house, a stylish Villa Moda like store, a fruniture store, a catering store, a haunted [...]
When I was in the Bairaq Mall last week and as we were about to get into our car I saw a weird thing underneath the back wheel of the car parked next to ours. I did a double take and got closer only to
Sam, a reader of my blog, sent me a picture of a strange translation. How did the word ‘Peace’ get squeezed in that sentence is beyond me! Why can’t they hire English language proofreaders is beyond me! Thank you Sam
Dear KDD, I’ve been a fan of your products for over 30 years now. I grew up drinking KDD Chocolate milk. I memorized the word Columbia as a child even before i spoke English. I was familiar with the names Failaka and Burgan before i knew what they meant and as a result my eyes lit up [...]
I was reading Alwasee6 newspaper today when i saw a store that sells… well… Naaqa Ice Cream :S Although they say the milk of the camel is very good, there is no way i would try it… it’s just too weird… Hal door camel’s milk ice cream?! Uuuurgh! Zain ma sawaw b3d frozen yoghurt min [...]
