Today is the final day of the giveaways. This giveaway campaign was not planned and I actually thought about it right after the post where I gave two tickets away to the IMAX film. I saw the response from just two tickets and thought to myself what about if I could give people cooler stuff and so I quickly scrambled emailing and calling people to see if they would be interested to participate. Choowy Goowy responded right away saying they would and that’s how I managed to get “Giveaway Day 2” out the door the next day.
Since that original post the response has been unbelievable and the campaign completely exceeded my expectations. The response from companies wanting to participate was also incredible and I ended up doubling the length of the campaign because of it. I actually still have enough giveaway offers to make this campaign last a month but two weeks is the limit I set and I decided to stick it.
The final giveaway is going to be from Choowy Goowy and its the just recently released Sony PS3 Slim. Someone had left a comment in the original Choowy Goowy giveaway post asking if we were going to give away a PS3 next, well here it is!
In case you didn’t know already, Choowy Goowy are one of my favorite dessert places in Kuwait. They’ve got incredible cookies, amazing brownies and they also make delicious cheesecakes.

I haven’t posted about HĂĽper Optik before because I have yet to pass by and get my car tinted. I should have gone at the beginning of summer but I kept putting it off due to the fact I can be really lazy (and cheap) sometimes. The reason I wanted to tint the car is because Nat doesn’t have any shaded parking where she works so the car sits baking under the sun all day long. So Marzouq recommended I get a tint from HĂĽper Optik because they offer the best heat protection around.
Unlike most tints in Kuwait, HĂĽper Optik’s are ceramic based not metallic. I learned that it has a few advantages one being that it doesn’t interfere with mobile phones, bluetooth and GPS and the other is the fact that ceramic based film offers better heat rejection. Ceramic is an insulator while metals are great conductors of heat so ceramic based film makes a lot more sense here in Kuwait.
Here are the specs they emailed me:
100% dye and metal free
Does not interfere with mobile phones, GPS, bluetooth.
High Infra Red heat rejection of up to 96%
High Ultra Violet rejection exceeding 99%
Total Heat Rejection from 32% to 73%
Visible Light Transmission from 8% to 85%
10-year product warranty coverage
So this brings us to today’s giveaway. HĂĽper Optik are offering a free car tint to the winner worth up to KD250 which makes it the most expensive giveaway so far. In case you are wondering, you don’t need to darken your car windows to take advantage of the heat or UV protection. You can go for a clear film and still have some protection. All you need to do to win this giveaway is to leave a comment below and later on in the evening I will use random.org to select a winner.

I personally wish I could participate in today’s giveaway since it involves a Tamiya radio controlled car and you know how much I love these cars. My Toy who are the local Tamiya dealers are giving away a ready to race Nissan GT-R TT-01E with battery, controller and charger. It’s ready to race meaning it’s already been built, painted and put together by the factory but its the TT-01E chassis which mean’s you have a ton of parts you can replace and upgrade yourself.
I have the older TT-01 chassis which is what my Lancia car is built on and I love it, its very fun to drive right out of the box and once you upgrade it you can have a pretty serious machine.
The My Toy shop is located in Tilal Complex in Shuwaikh on the first floor right above Roche Bobois and Living Colors. It’s the nicest RC shop I’ve ever seen, its really big and they’re building a huge race track on the roof right next to it. They even have a section in the back where you can build your cars in and even an airbrush room.
This package is worth KD147.500 and all you need to do to win it is to leave a comment below and later on in the evening I will use random.org to select a winner. Please take the time to pass by the shop (don’t take the wife) and check out what they have. If you love cars its hard to leave without picking something up.
My Toy’s phone number is 22256707

Last week I posted about the under appreciated indoor vertical garden at 360 mall. Under appreciated because no one knew about it. Well I was checking a website (lost the link) and found an article talking about this glass artist and they had a picture of one of his works which looked similar to the blue glass sculpture at 360. So a quick google revealed the blue sculpture at 360 was actually done by the same artist in the article.
The artist is called Dale Chihuly and he was commissioned to do two pieces of work for 360 in the theme of the sun and moon. Again interesting but I only found out about it by chance. 360 need to find a way to inform people on this stuff.
Now the cool part is I found a gallery online showing the actual build process. I was always curious on how they put the sculpture together and now I know. Check out the pictures [Here]
Note: If you get an error trying to view the pictures tell me and I will try to host the pictures somewhere else.
Every time the garbage in the empty lot behind my building catches fire I take a picture and document it on my blog. This is now the fourth time its caught on fire.
Today we’ve got actually two giveaways in which two different people will win. This means I will draw two numbers tonight and each number will win a different giveaway. What are the giveaways? X-cite are giving away an i-SOBOT Robot worth over KD70 as the first giveaway and a SteelSeries gift hamper thats also worth around KD70 as a second giveaway.
The i-SOBOT Robot is a miniature high-tech humanoid robot that’s fully articulated, has voice command recognition and can speak a vocabulary of over 200 words and phrases. The i-SOBOT Robot can also dance and perform his own special karate moves complete with sound effects. The i-SOBOT can move forwards, backward, side-to-side or diagonally. You can find out more about it by visiting the i-SOBOT website [Here]
The second giveaway is a SteelSeries gift hamper that contains a SteelSeries Warcraft Gaming Mouse, a SteelSeries limited edition Warcraft Gaming Mouse Pad and a SteelSeries 5Hv2 USB Gaming Headset. Steelseries from Denmark are a gaming peripherals giant and the number one e-sports company in the world. They sponsor some of the most important gaming events and will be setting up one before the end of the year with X-cite here in Kuwait.

The winners are…
The local Porsche dealership has put up the Panamera prices. The cheapest is the Panamera S with a starting price of KD35,400 while the most expensive is the Panamera Turbo with a starting price of KD50,100. I like the Porsche Kuwait website, more local car dealers should put their prices online. Actually scrap that, most local car dealers need a proper website first. [Link]
Today’s giveaway is courtesy of Logitech Kuwait. I posted about their online store back in July and the highlight was the fact that their prices were cheaper than the market and that they also delivered.
The giveaway today is the Wireless DJ Music System from Logitech. The device allows you control the music on your computer from a remote location around the house while also allowing you to stream the music to your sound system wirelessly. It’s gotten good reviews around the web and it will be released in Kuwait soon.

Today’s giveaway is starting later than usual because I want the readers who check the blog in the evening to have a chance to participate. The giveaway today is courtesy of The Chocolate Bar which as many of you know have an incredibly large menu filled with chocolate based desserts. I always have a difficult time trying to figure out what to order but with today’s giveaway you shouldn’t have that problem because The Chocolate Bar is giving away an invite for 4 so you can go with your friends and enjoy their desserts at their newly reopened Marina Crescent branch.
They have a few branches around Kuwait but for the past few months the Marina Crescent one had been closed for renovation. It had been open for five years and needed an update but the renovations have been completed and tonight is the reopening.

Slider Station is one of my favorite burger places in Kuwait. They’ve got a huge variety of sliders, burgers, starters, fries and desserts while also having one of the trendiest designed restaurant interiors in Kuwait as well as good music and some amazing staff. My favorite two things there are the onion strings with Chipotle sauce on the side and Ancho rib slider.
Their Black Widow burger was reviewed by me in “The Best Burger in Kuwait Challenge” and scored very high. A lot of people were put off by the price but now could be a good way to try it because Slider Station are offering lunch or dinner for two as today’s giveaway. You get to order and try whatever you like which is a fantastic deal so make sure you try their famous chocolate pudding when you are done. They’re located on the Gulf Road opposite Seef Palace near Pink Moon and Falafel & Company. You can visit their website by clicking this [Link]

Today’s giveaway is for anyone that has a car because its a full detailing package from Al Falah Car Wash & Showshine Detailing Center. I’ve talked about them a lot and I’ve used them to detail both my Wrangler and Z4. Both occasions they returned the car to me as if it had just come out fresh from the dealership showroom. They’re also the official car wash of The Gulf Run and zDistrict has posted about his experience with them a number of times. I’ve recommended this place a lot and anyone who’s tried them can vouch for me when I say they do an incredible job.
The package they’re giving away is worth KD50 and includes an exterior and interior detailing of your car and also the engine bay. This is a great offer because your car will really look brand new once they’re done.

One of my favorite skyscrapers in Kuwait just got slapped on with a tacky blue signage right on the top. Wasn’t there a nicer way to do it? I’ve noticed a lot of buildings use this blue cheap looking plastic for the building names but it really ruins the look, there must be a better or more tasteful material that can be used.
Today’s giveaway is for the ladies and its courtesy of the fashion boutique Pink Moon. I’ve mentioned them a few times on my blog before and some of you might have noticed their trendy shop on the Gulf Road opposite Seef Palace near Slider Station. They also have an online store which is very popular and doesn’t only serve Kuwait but they also deliver world wide.
They are giving away one item from their best-selling ‘Free City’ collection which actually has a long waiting list. The winner will get to choose any one item from the ‘Free City’ collection which includes t-shirts, hoodies and sweatpants worn by tons of celebrities. Their newest collection arrives tomorrow and the winner will get to choose whatever 1 item they want for free.
