Happy Independence & Liberation Day


Above is a great ad which I truly think portrays the Kuwaiti dream and is a perfect representation of what people should think about during this and every independence & liberation day. (YouTube)

An Arabian Pimp






I heard of this guy when I was with my friends in Dubai (they told me he looks like exactly like a pimp) and I never thought that he literally looked like Snoop Dogg threw up on him. He is nicknamed MAC and is a restaurant chain owner in Ajman, UAE. It is said that he has a lovable personality and you can usually find him sitting in Starbucks Mercato in Dubai.

BTW, all clothing and accessories are original!!!

The Early Bird at the Chalet!!!


The Early Bird is my favorite breakfast restaurant in Kuwait (if not the GCC). I absolutely love the food there... Simple and extremely yummy!!! The past weekend I booked them to cater to me and my family at the chalet and their food and service was nothing short of amazing. They usually come at anytime you want and have to leave before 3 to arrive back to Fahaheel and help close up their store. You usually have to book in advance (usually 3 days prior) and set-up the menu for the food you want served with the owners (they also print out the menu for your guests to see). Prices range from KD120-KD180 for a 15-20 person gathering (also depending on the types of food you order - some are pricier than others). All in all, I highly recommend The Early Bird at the Chalet.

BTW: The picture above is the tiny second serving prepared for the late guests... I was just too hungry to take a picture of the huuuuuge first serving which nearly covered the whole table and a table nearby!!!!

Rihanna Beaten Up




The pictures above are of Rihanna after the attack on her by Chris Brown. I really thought he just hit her once and that little to no physical harm happened to her... but ouuuuuch!!!

La Duree at 360 Kuwait





La Duree is set to open soon at 360 Kuwait. I absolutely love what they have done to this place. The lighting is warm and cozy and the whole design gives you a relaxed European feeling.

UPDATE: Apparently these pictures are of the Bar at Ladurée on Champs Elysées, Paris, France. I'll hopefully post some Kuwait pics as soon as I could get them.

Nuclear Power in Kuwait


According to instant news,
Kuwait is considering developing nuclear power with the help of a French firm to meet demand for electricity and water desalination, a Kuwaiti newspaper quoted the country's ruler as saying today. (InstantNews)
Is this what the 5.4 million nuclear pills are eventually for? This is definitely not a good idea considering the many idiotic ways most of the major companies try to cut costs in order to get a bigger profit margin from the construction contract (Let us just imagine that this is not a factor with the French group for now), the heat in Kuwait is a major problem too, the poor maintenance I bet this thing will have, the terrible ways Kuwait will think of for dumping the nuclear bi-products, etc.; we are surely going to see a nuclear meltdown, leak, or contamination and be needing those pills sometime in the future.

Toys 'R' Us Coming to Kuwait


Apparantly the Al-Futtaim Group is getting Toys 'R' Us along with Marks & Spencer and Intersport to 360 Mall. (Arabian Business)
