2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

Desert Kings 2 Jokers are back with a new video which now includes water activities. Personally I prefer the faster paced original video. [YouTube]

I never noticed this before but the Vimto bottle says its non-alcoholic. Which brings me to my question, is there an alcoholic version of Vimto?

I posted before about Obama visiting a burger joint to pick up some burgers, well he did it again this time he picked up burgers for himself and his staff. The cool part is they drove into town in unmarked vehicles with a small entourage. Didn’t know he could do that. [Link]

If I want to learn how to fly is there a place in Kuwait where one can take lessons? A flight school?

Yesterday marked 64 years since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in Japan by the United States. The Boston Globe put together 34 photos that showed the aftereffects which you can view [Here]

Unlike the jpg thats been going around, this is the true Pepsi vs Coca-Cola logo evolution chart.

I would love to have an automatic pancake machine in my kitchen but the one pictured above costs $3,500! [Link]

Supposedly this video was taken in Saudi Arabia. A bunch of guys started chasing this girl on a quad bike and what looks like a huge fight breaks out. [YouTube]

Thanks q8shadow

I got an email from the owner of a new boutique called Twist telling me about these BlackBerry covers they have which I found interesting. The covers are hand made using a technique called decopatch. This makes every cover unique with no two a like. I am not sure if they make them in Kuwait themselves or they’re made outside but I like the idea. She didn’t mention how much they cost but hopefully its something reasonable. If you’re interested they have a Facebook page with pictures of some of their covers and contact information [Link]

I’ve been eating healthy for nearly 3 months now and so far I’ve lost 5KG dropping my weight down from 89KG to 84KG. As my height is 186cm that puts my BMI at 24.3 which is where it should be. Keep in mind I wasn’t planning on losing weight with my diet, I just had to stop eating some types of food due to my acid reflux problem and the weight loss was just a bonus. I am still eating whatever I want I just have stayed away from two things, fried food and fast food. It was difficult in the beginning because I used to have fast food for lunch every day but once I found a replacement things became much easier. I no longer feel like eating junk food, I actually can’t stand it now.

I’ve already posted about two places which I’ve started eating at, Salad Creations and Macaroni Grill. Another place I’ve started going to is Nando’s. I passed by the first time after they started advertising on my blog and since then I’ve started popping in once a week for lunch. I haven’t tried many dishes there because I’m hooked on their Chicken Burger. They have 4 types of marinated chicken, I tried mild the first time but it wasn’t too spicy for me so I took it hot the second time and now thats how I always have it. The chicken is grilled which fits in my diet and the dish comes with a side order of your choice. I tried the corn kernels (pictured above) but I didn’t like it, my favorite side order is their coleslaw which is really good. The dish is KD2.250 which fits nicely in my daily lunch budget. Sometimes I have the Perri-Perri Hommous which is hommous with their spicy sauce, also very good. I think thats for KD1.500. Anyway they’re located at the Avenues in the back near Macroni Grill and Chili’s.

There is another place I have lunch at often and want to post about but I am worried if I do the place will start getting more packed and they might increase their prices so I am still thinking about it.

I was not expecting that! [YouTube]

Kuwait for Kenya is a LoYAC initiative made up of young Kuwaiti volunteers focusing on the overall youth development in Kenya. This year, Genan Dashti, Amna Hussein, Dala AlFuwaires, Sara AlDirbas, Faisal AlShawa, Willy Mathew, and Dari AlHuwail traveled to Mombasa and were able to achieve the following:

Child Development Center (CDC):
Installing and fitting a new kitchen and dining hall

Mombasa Youth Counseling Center (MYCC):
Upgrading the HIV laboratory and VCT center

Goodwill Academy:
Providing student’s desks and chairs

The above video is a summary of this years trip to Kenya. Their website which is still under construction is located [Here]. You can also find them on Facebook by clicking [Here]

I think its really great what they did and I hope they get all the support they need for future trips.

Just got to Beirut around an hour ago (midnight Beirut time). I am here for work and only staying for 5 nights. The airport in Kuwait was packed, the airport in Lebanon was packed, I hate traveling during the summer.

This retro looking Boombox looks pretty good and is selling for around KD38 on Amazon. I want the black one! [Amazon]

My home network is just a total mess. Everything could be working perfectly and then suddenly in a blink of an eye the whole network would crawl to a halt and crash. Just like that for no reason. I just spent the afternoon shifting from a wireless network to a wired one and what a headache that was. The hardest part was trying to find a 22 meter long black ethernet cable. I looked all over Hawalli walking from shop to shop and only found one place that had a black 20 meter long one and it was his last piece. Also picked up two Linksys 8-port switches and everything seems to be working fine for now.

The 20 meter cable cost me KD3 while the Linksys 8-port switches cost me KD6.750 each.
