2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

Just got back from the Slider Station two year anniversary party and I am completely stuffed. I just love the place, Happy Anniversary!

I found this video while checking out the 11th Street blog and I couldn’t stop laughing. [YouTube]

Yesterday some magazines arrived to my Aramex Shop&Ship mailbox in the US and now the magazines are with me. Thats US to Kuwait in under 24 hours!

Is it only me or does anyone else also think are there a lot of mosquitoes this year?

The building above looks like its getting demolished which sucks. What would be the harm in refurbishing it? I think the blue pattern is really funky. [Link]

I didn’t think I would find this video interesting but it is! The clip isn’t slowed down or anything, its in real time but the falling magnet creates an eddy current that exerts a damping force on the magnet. [YouTube]

There was a small fire in the basement of my office building and I managed to capture the whole excitement live on my twitter account. You can check out all the posts by clicking [Here] to go to my twitter account or click on the direct links below:

More crowds

Soaking the garbage bin with water

I am going to Amsterdam with Nat at the end of the week and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on things to do and places to visit. I am going to be there on Queens Day which is cool and I already have an idea of some cafe’s I want to pass by (thank you Cannabis Cup 2008), and maybe go bungee jumping or take a wetland safari but what else can I do or see? No museums please!

I just tried the Ancho Ribs Slider this weekend at Slider Station and now I’m addicted to it. Its by far my favorite slider at the moment. I just had it again for lunch awhile ago and now I can’t wait to have it again. One thing I notice while having lunch was that the place was packed… with girls. Me and my friend were the only guys there which I thought was interesting since I always regarded burgers more of a guy thing than a girl thing.

I passed by the Red Bull event last night and I really don’t understand how companies can have events at Souk Sharq. On a weekend night its nearly impossible to find parking spot there yet alone when there is some kind of event going on. Souq Sharq has what has to be the worst parking planning in Kuwait.

Anyway I shot a couple of videos (above) and also took some pictures which you can check out below. The graffiti wasn’t that great but the dancing was much better than I was expecting.

Inspired by Ma6aba’s post on his favorite new show, I decided to share mine which is True Blood. I am half way through season 1 and like all HBO shows I love it. The basic plot behind the show is that Japanese scientists invented synthetic blood and as a result Vampires no longer needed to feed on human blood. Thats why the vampires decided to “come out of the closet” but as expected not everyone believes they should have the same rights like humans and both government and religious leaders are split on this issue. Its not your ordinary story which is why I like the show a lot. I am not aware of any satellite channel that has True Blood but the full season is available on Amazon for just KD11. [Amazon Link]

Red Bull Break Da Rulz is an event involving B-boys and Graffiti. It will take place at Souq Sharq on Friday April 24 at 5:30pm. There will be a break dancing competition and a graffiti competition with the winners walking away with trophies. Here is a link to their Facebook group. [Link]

I am currently at the Zain partners exhibition launch and I am posting pics on my twitter account which you can check by clicking [Here]

Update: I am back in the office. I tried to find good phone deals to post here but most of the booths were still being set up since the exhibition wasn’t yet open to the public.

Cold Stone Creamery are finally opening up for business at the end of the month. They will be located at the Avenues food court opposite Johnny Rockets in phase 2.
