bored kuwaiti


Things have been agonizingly slow and boring the last week! nothing happened! Nothing weird or out of the ordinary to report. It's that time of the year when nothing and nobody is in kuwait. Am sitting in front of my laptop finding it hard to come up with anything to write about.
All in all this vacation has been good so far, am sleeping half the day, going to the gym more often and with energy, and generally relaxed. But it has gotten boring very quickly! I cant wait till wednesday when i get my ass on the plane and head straight to sharm el shaikh baby! A week under the sun(the nice sun, not kuwaits sun) should be just what i need!

CFA update: hahahahahahahahahahahha..........cont!

want love? call me now!


I woke up today and did what i usually do which is check my phone if i got any calls or msgs while i was tucked away behind all those pillows. A msg caught my attention cuz the number it came from looked international, it started with +26122..... so i was curious as to see who was thinking of me while they were on their vacation. I opened the msg box and this is exactly what was in it:

Love and date!!! Call me now: 00261.........

What th
e hell? Lemme see if i understand this, companies are sending random international msgs to arab countries trying to lure the not so young and desperate into getting in long conversations with supposedly young and hot(yeah am sure) girls from god knows where? The things people do for money is almost as sad as the things people do to have some company.

kuwaiti gigolo


did anyone notice this poster hanging above the concession stand in marina's theater? wait a sec are they really gonna show this movie here in kuwait? first, all the cuts the censors make gets me wondering how long this movie would be, what 15 minutes tops? and secondly did they NOT get the idea behind the "leaning tower" poster??? seriously??



Guess what we're building here along the sixth ring road? go ahead you'll never guess right. A museum? An arts center? An industrial plant? ha ha, did you forget your in kuwait? no babes this is kuwait's proudest new achievement, a new mall!! Wohoooooooooooooo. I feel so good about the future of this country ;D



I found this laying around in an old closet in the storage and thought it was very interesting. Try to figure out how old it is. One clue, look at where it was made!



This is my first attempt at making the famed mars rice crispy. I added some reese's peanut butter to it cuz am mad about peanut butter. am still waiting for it to cool down so i can try it. Embayin ena am having a hard time finding stuff to do in this vacation? Oh well.

P.S. I would like to say a sad farewell to a wonderful group of friends whom i've gotten to know in the past couple of months, i would like to wish them good luck on their journey and hope that they pay as much attention over there as they did over here, cuz they have a reputation to uphold ;p

public display of pajama


i've seen some weird things here in kuwait, and today was no exception. I was having lunch with my family in Paul, the one in Kout, when all of a sudden my brother stop's eating and looks up and says "sh'hal ma9khara?". I turn around to see two overweight, early 20's guys walking around in their pyjama's. To be more specific, they were wearing short sleeved dishdasha's and they were colored, la o wa7id minhom labis dishdasha embakara!
Shilsalfa?
Wain ga3deeen?
Laish?
Is it so important to show people that you dont care? Are some kuwaities SO bored that they have to pull off stunts like this to entertain themselves? Willa shino? Min9iji i want to know shilee ekhalee 2 young men, supposedly 3agleen, esawooon shay chithee! Eshbuga ba3ad masawooh?
Since were on the subject, a female friend of mine say's that it disgusts her to even think of a guy wearing a dishdashat noom, so tell me what do you think about that, and for the ladies what do you like your man to wear at home, and for the guys what do you prefer to wear?

Beirut bank offers plastic surgery loans!

how ugly do you have to be to consider taking a loan just have plastic surgery?
what kind of society even considers having plastic surgery loans available? are people becoming this shallow? ok i've heard about people taking loans for vacation(in kuwait) but i think this is a bit too much. No one appreciates natural beauty anymore, everyone wants to look the same. I can imagine one day when all kuwait will have blonde, straight nosed, full lips, puffy cheeked girls with flat abs! But hey this isnt just for girls, a lot of guys are opting to go under the knife a little bit more self confidence.

CFA update: the group study session was cancelled today, turns out i wasnt the only one who didnt prepare, la khoooosh majmooo3a and thinks are looking brighter min awalha ;p

kuwaiti boob flash!

yeah that got you attention didnt it?
well it's not fake (actually...you'll see) today i went to a local hotel here in kuwait for work expecting it to be the same old lame, boring stuff we usually get. the work was lame and boring but that would be the last thing you would call what happened today. we were sitting in a meeting room that has windows over looking the hotel's private pool area. As we passed by we saw what looked like 4 kuwaiti girls in their bikini's hanging out next to the pool (this isnt a big deal cuz it's not the first time we see this at the same place) but suddenly one of the people there jumped up and said "hathoool jnoooos"! Like children who just heard the sound of the ice cream man entering the neighbourhood we jumped up and planted our faces firmly on the glass. True there was at least one of them that was definitely a guy, the rest i had some doubts about cuz, well...anyway, one of the girls/guys apparently wanted to have fun with us. I think he/she was thinking I'll give you people something to stare at. As he/she were walking around the pool he/she began squeezing and fondling her/his silicon filled breasts. this wasnt you're average tug at the top, no this was your daddy's checking out which were the ripe melons bilkhithra kinda tug, it was very very thorough. Now even those who werent interested got outta their chairs and suddenly the window became very crowded. Seeing how her/his gimmicks were getting all the attention he/she took it a step further, walked towards the window, looked at everyone, grabbed one side of her bikini top, slid it open to her/his side, grabbed her/his boob and started flaunting it in everyone's faces! To say that we were shocked would be a huge understatement!

Yes people, this happened tody, here in kuwait, not too many hours ago!


i couldnt find an appropriate picture to go with this post but i did think this was funny, look at mandy moores face lol ;p

CFA update: tomorrow am getting together with a bunch of other cfa victims so we can motivate ourselves to work harder and study. This is the first of whats supposed to be at least a once a week meeting or study group thing, i have not read the materials i was supposed to read, am not prepared, am hoping that i can at least look like i know what were gonna be talking about bacher so as not to make a complete fool of myslef ;)

Birthday Boi*

the cfa

Do you ever get those moments when you feel like your on top of the world, like you can do anything you want no matter how hard it is, the feeling you get right after watching the secret, well i got that moment a while ago. So full of confidence and desire i went ahead and registered myself into the cfa institute and became a candidate. Wohoooooo! I was so pumped up to study and learn (ok you can call me a nerd after that line). But after a while the enthusiasm i had began to fade, then i realized i had just spent close to $900 so i could study for 4 months and take a long ass test that had a relatively 70% chance of failure! Lets just say my feet have firmly landed on the ground and reality had set in. It's not that am not confident enough about my own ability to pass the test, it's just that i didnt know what i was getting myself into and never realized exactly how much effort this is gonna take. Just to give you guys some idea of what needs to be done, i have to read 700+ page books, 6 of them to be exact, at least once. Well i do believe in "tafa'elo bilkhair tajidoooh" so i guess the right attitude would be to say that i will study hard for this test and i will pass it enshala. I got my calculater and am wearing my glasses and i feel ready to take this on....

lesson one, statistics!

oh dear god
