2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

So I ordered the new iPhone the other day and I just ordered a cover for it. For my original iPhone I had the Incase protective cover but the problem with it was that it was too grippy. I couldn’t slide it in and out of my pocket because the cover was made from non slip rubber material. So, I just ordered the Incase slider case which is made of hardshell plastic which in theory should slip in and out of my pocket without any issues. They come in a variety of colors and for some reason I ended up ordering the florescent yellow one. Here is the link to the Incase website. [Link]

Although Coffee Republic has been open for a while I only passed by and tried them the other day at 360. I had heard of their Kinder milk shakes and wanted to try it but when I got there I was amazed at the variety of shakes they had. My favorites were the Kinder Bueno, Nutella, Ferrero Rocher, Maltesers and Cadbury Flake milkshakes. How is one meant to to choose just one of those? Now I need to go back at least 5 times so I could try each flavor.

I wasn’t planning on getting the new iPhone 3GS anytime soon since the prices in Kuwait are currently astronomical, but I was just checking Safat and noticed a Kuwaiti blogger thats living in Australia is selling the officially unlocked iPhone’s for a pretty decent price:

Unlocked iPhone 3GS 16GB
KD275 (shipping to Kuwait included)

Unlocked iPhone 3GS 32GB
KD325 (shipping to Kuwait included)

I ordered the 16GB version since I don’t really store ANY music or videos on my iPhone and the price between it and the 32GB is pretty big. I actually have the original 8GB iPhone and I have like 6.5GB free so 16GB is more than enough for me. I already sent the money to the blogger and she placed the order for my iPhone and passed me the tracking number. I should get it in around 2 weeks, can’t wait!

If you’re interested in the new iPhone here is the link to her blog. [Link]

So this is whats opening up in what was supposed to be Arby’s at the Avenues food court. SUCKS!

Found KitKat Cookies & Cream at Sultan Center. I tried one but it wasn’t that great. Still prefer KitKat Senses.

Just ordered a pair of these sneakers. I first saw them in Amsterdam but they were out of stock from my size. Luckily I found two stores online that still had them. [Link]

The Noodle House that’s located next door to Carino’s on the Gulf Road is now officially open. I guess I will be having lunch or dinner there this weekend.

I got an email from someone telling me that Viva’s office on the 18th floor of the Olympia building was on fire. I brushed it away as a rumor and decided to ask a friend of mine who works at Viva if their office was really on fire. Turns out its true and they had to evacuate the building because of it. I don’t have any pictures but if I get any will post them.

Update: Just got one picture which I added to the post above.

Update2: According to a source at Olympia, it was a small fire started by an electric short. Both buildings were evacuated for 15 minutes.

Wow this is pretty cool. Seems like the new unreleased Aston Martin Rapide 4-door was spotted testing here in Kuwait. Car manufacturers usually test cars in severe climate conditions like extreme heat and cold before the car is released to make sure it can handle the weather conditions. The Rapide is expected to be introduced early next year and to compete with the likes of the Maserati Quattroporte and Porsche Panamera. [YouTube]

This is a long shot but does anyone have a Lego man they would want to sell me? They are used for display purposes. I took a picture of the oneabove at Fantasy World but its not there anymore. Its around 40cm tall. Does anyone from Fantasy World read my blog by any chance?

Ansam uploaded and posted a video recorded from a Saudi channel of a Kuwaiti TV series that’s been dubbed in English. Can anyone imagine if they did the same thing to Bye Bye London? I would watch that! [YouTube]
