2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003
The 3 Club is holding a running workshop in December which will be led by an elite triathlon coach who will be visiting from Spain. I love running with The 3 Club so I really think this workshop is going to be great. If you’re interested to sign up or just need more details then follow this [Link]
Yesterday the annual classic cars gathering took place at the Hard Rock Cafe parking lot. A reader emailed me a link to pictures he took at this event. You can check them out [Here]
Thanks Ahmed
I’m not a fan of The X Factor but for those of you who are you might be interested to know they will be coming to Kuwait to hold auditions on November 30th at Courtyard by Marriott Hotel starting at 8AM. If you’re interested in trying out check out The X Factor Arabia website for more details [Here]
On the other hand I’d love to try out for the Fear Factor if they ever bring that to the Arab world.
Thanks Rayboy
As I mentioned a couple of days back I have 5 “Meet & Greet” tickets to giveaway. These tickets will allow you to meet Kim Kardashian at Millions of Milkshakes during the opening as well as take pictures with her. Since I will be interviewing Kim Kardashian for this blog I’ve decided the competition will be as follows:
What would you ask Kim Kardashian if you could ask her just one question? Leave your question in the comments below. The five people with the best questions will each win a ticket. I will decide which questions are the best.
Make sure you use your correct email address because I will be emailing the winners.
Update: Here’s a video of Kim talking about her upcoming visit

Update: I’ve closed the post for comments so I can go through the questions. I was so not expecting to get 400+ comments I have no idea how I am going to go through them all…
Update2: And the four winners are…

It’s been awhile since I’ve linked to the blog re:kuwait but Barrak has an interesting post about the Jaber Bridge, the bridge that will link Kuwait City to Silk City in the North. Barrak is not in favor of the bridge and wants the idea to be scrapped completely. He does have an interesting case which you can read [Here]
Just a little cool thing I like about the taxis in Tokyo. They have doors that open and close automatically! [YouTube]
I love this place! Make sure you follow me on Instagram I’m posting tons of pictures there. @mark248am
I’m off to Tokyo for a few days and will be back next week. I’m going to Electraglide Friday night which should kick ass since Orbital, DJ Krush, Kode9 and Flying Lotus will be playing sets among others.
If anyone has any recommendation of where to go let me know. I am looking for weird stuff.
Update: I forgot to add that I’ll be constantly be posting pictures on my Instagram account so follow me @mark248am or check out my online profile [Here]
It’s been quiet here the past few days but it’s because I’ve been working on a bunch of stuff for the blog. As most of you know Kim Kardashian is coming to Kuwait next week for the launch of Millions of Milkshakes which will be opening in Avenues Phase III (picture above). Kim will be arriving to Kuwait on the 28th and then leave on December 1st to Bahrain.
I’m trying to get as much content as I can regarding her visit and right now I’ve managed to score 5 tickets to giveaway here on the blog. These 5 tickets are for a “meet and greet”, so 5 lucky readers will be able to meet and talk to Kim Kardashian as well as get their photos taken with her.
I’m still trying to figure out how to give away these tickets so if anyone has any ideas let me know. It will have to be some sort of competition and I already have an idea in mind but I’m hoping someone can come up with a better one.
This wasn’t made for Kuwait I guess? [YouTube]
Update: The KDD commercial has been pulled from YouTube so if you didn’t watch it you missed out.
New music video by Kuwaiti artist Killa.D and features 248AM’s most infamous artist Big D! [YouTube]
Kuwait has broken world record in number of traffic deaths, with 17 deaths recorded in every 100000 cases on the average, local daily reported quoting Chairperson of Traffic safety society Bader Al Matar. He added that Kuwait roads have the capacity to accommodate 700000 vehicles and almost 1.6 million vehicles ply on the road. He also said the current traffic lights are failed and government must implement online system to manage traffic.
That has to be the most dreadful world record we’ve broken. [Source]

I promise this will be the last post related to the fireworks show but I really have to share this video. It’s the fireworks show shot from the perspective of the kite flyers who took part in the event. I swear one scene reminded me of the movie Apocalypse Now. [YouTube]
