2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

(Posted from my Nokia e61i)

I am at the Beirut airport now waiting for my flight to London. I came early so I could spend time surfing the web and playing some Xbox 360 games in the Cedar Lounge. Since I am travelling with British Airways they gave me a VIP Lounge pass which sounded a lot cooler but I just got to it and it SUCKS. No computers, no WiFi, no English newspapers, no AC and its tiny, dark and gloomy. I am going to see if they will allow me to get into the other lounge cuz this one sucks majorly.

My sister emailed me my old class photo taken in the early 80’s while I was in Sunshine School here in Kuwait (its now called BSK). Its a pretty cool retro looking picture with lots of nice colors, check out the larger version [Here]

Just got to my hotel room. The weather is pretty humid and hot. The flight was comfortable, watched an episode of The Wire and an episode of Freaks & Geeks. (Posted from my Nokia e61i)

I am at the Kuwait airport now waiting for my flight to Beirut. I was planning on having breakfast at Fuddruckers but I missed it by 15 minutes (they stop breakfast at 11AM).

I got a nice surprise today morning, a little cupcake from Little Treats. Turns out they are opening a store at the beginning of the month so they sent me and my partner at work an invite for the opening day. Their store is going to be located on the mezzanine floor in the Wataniya Complex in Salmiya. I think thats the small shopping center across the street from NBK. If you don’t know what Little Treats is you can check out my previous post on them. [Link]

Remember I posted about tattoos and the small tattoo place in the Marina Mall food court? Well I passed by today and its not there! I saw it two days ago and now its gone. Did they shutdown or did they get shutdown?

Sunkist
A classic, probably the best orange drink ever created.

Frutti
Tasted terrible! I also had what looked like red hair in my drink although I am guessing its supposed to be orange pulp.

Fresh
Tasted better than Frutti but just not good enough to beat Sunkist.

Now on a side note if you look at the orange illustration on the Frutti cup you will notice it resembles the orange on the Sunkist cup. If you also look at the shape of the Fresh cup you will notice it is the same shape as the Sunkist cup. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I was hoping to rest this weekend but it looks like thats not going to happen since I have a work related trip I need to take. Thursday I leave Kuwait around 1PM and get to Beirut at around 3. I spend the night there and next morning at 9AM I leave to London. I get to London at 1PM then the following day at 10PM I catch a flight to Bahrain where I catch another flight back to Kuwait. Its going to be really hectic but spending a day and a half in London is going to be worth it. Like last weekend I will be blogging directly from my phone which means I will be posting a lot of pictures. It should be a lot of fun.

Someone posted the following in the forum:

Yesterday on my visit to the aquarium of Kuwait Scientific Center, I noticed that the Zubaidi (Pomfret) had eye infections.

Most of them in the tank had a whitish curtain over their eyes and the tips of their mouths were injured (as a result of not being able to see properly, I am assuming they kept hitting their faces on the tank).

I tried to look around for a person to report this to, but none was around. If anybody knows anyone in the scientific center, could you please tell them about this ??

I hope someone from Scientific Center is reading this. Thanks. [Link]

I am not a big fan of Jag’s but the new XF is HOT! [Pictures]

Going to try them and find out.

It takes 8.5 minutes for the light from the sun to reach the earth. I just found that out, I was expecting it to take much longer. [Source]

Oh and I am currently watching a movie called Sunshine.

Just really busy catching up.
