2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

K.thekuwaiti spotted The Amazing Race reality show in Kuwait. The Amazing Race is a TV show where contestants travel around the world from country to country following clues trying to reach to the next stage as quickly as possible. K.thekuwaiti helped them cheat a bit which is really cool plus he took some pictures. Check it out. [Link]

They’re coming! [Link]

Urgh, according to Amazon my MacBook should ship out today. I preordered the MacBook on May 23rd and have been waiting ever since then. I even have overnight shipping which means once it ships out today it should arrive to my mailbox tomorrow but my order is still open and there is no sign of it shipping. The suspense is killing me!!

A while back I posted the Foof prices at zMacShop and I mentioned how good the prices were compared to the prices online. Well today I passed by Mac & More in Marina Mall and they also got foof’s except they are nearly twice as expensive.

regular ipod foof
zMacShop: KD8
Mac & More: KD14

nano ipod foof
zMacShop: KD7
Mac & More: KD12

These comparissons are for the exact same foofs just two different stores.

Have you guys tried mPay? It only works with MTC but its really a time saver. Nat has a prepaid eeZee line and I used to recharge it for her using the MTC website which although easier then passing by the bakala and getting a refill card, it was still not easy enough for my lazy ass. mPay on the other hand makes life really easy. You sign up with them for free and you then get a menu on your phone allowing you refill other peoples phones (or yours) with just a few clicks on the phone. The amount then gets deducted from your bank account.

So for example I just went into my mPay menu on the phone, and then clicked on reload and then clicked on KD5 and then chose Nat and I then clicked on confirm. Right away I got an SMS telling me that I had transferred money onto Nats prepaid card and she also instantly got her phone recharged. Its that easy.

You can check out their website by going to mpay.com.kw but to sign up just pass by any Fono branch (like the one at Marina Mall) and they would set it up for you right away. I like stuff that makes me lazier.

… for sending me someone elses magazines. I hate it when I get other peoples magazines in my mail, makes me wonder who is getting mine…

Guy eats monkey chow for 1 week to see if its possible for man to live on kibble the same way pets do. It doesn’t work very well but the idea is still pretty good. I think if they ever made human kibble it would make life a lot easier for me. [Link]

The World Cup is coming up and Chevrolet in Kuwait are presenting their Winning 11 Chevrolet team. They have exactly 11 Chevrolet models and its everything you need to make a winning football team. Everyone is cashing in on the World Cup fever and they cannot ignore the frenzy. Thats why they are equipping all 5 of their showrooms with plasma screens and ART subscriptions to display the games live. They also have an offer where if you buy any car at Alghanim Automotive you can win a trip to the winning country of the World Cup. They will send you there in business class and even give you KD1000 to spend as you wish.

In addition, all their showrooms are branded ‘football style’ with flags, TV screens, salesmen wearing jerseys etc.. Even if people aren’t buying a car they want them to visit the showrooms and enjoy the games with them. So if you have the time pass by and check them out.

A friend of mine won a prize and he doesn’t want it. The prize consisted of a Wataniya Gold line with some free talk time and a Siemens C30 phone.

Note: You get to choose your gold line number from Wataniya. They have a couple of options and you choose from them. Gold line will have 4 3 identical numbers next to each other for example 9125550.
