Kuwait’s “lets forget 2009″ List

On a more candid note after my post about 2009, somethings that might have been around before 2009, but may have gotten slightly out of hand.

Number 1 : RIM’s breakthru into the Kuwaiti market with their Blackberry’s. Its hard to have a conversation with an owner of these devices without being interrupted by furiously rapid texting or beeps emerging from the phone. Do they realize they can have the same data plan with any smartphone and use any social networking/chatting program to the same effect?

Saved $50

I was expecting my Aramex package to arrive 2 days ago, so I wasn’t surprised when I got a text message telling me that its out for delivery. But I was surprised when I saw that they didn’t charge me for customs as my shipment total cost was well over $100 (according to the new Aramex/customs rules).

So, it wasn’t until I got home from work and saw the package I knew why they didn’t charge me the 5%. It seems that Amazon for some reason didn’t include the invoice with the shipment.

Lets recap, I didn’t pay the 5% on a $1000 package and my stuff didn’t get delayed at customs just because the invoice wasn’t included. Sweet!

Asian Cup Qualifier *UPDATED*

Today, our national team will face Australia in the Asian Cup Qualifiers. We need a win here to go through to the finals. Kuwait and Australia are both sharing the top spot with 7 point from 4 games, Kuwait is ahead with goal difference. Oman is in 3rd place with 4 points.

The game will be held at Alkuwait Stadium in Kaifan at 5:30PM local time (14:30GMT).

Lets hope he’s right.

Thanks Nasser

UPDATE:

Well, the game is over. We drew 2-2. I didn’t see the game but from what I’ve heard we played well, espescially in the second half. good result overall. We would have still needed a draw against Oman in the final game even if we have won.

Next and final game will be held in Mascat, Oman on March 3rd.
