The Good Old Days (Part 2) – Hungry Bunny
10 Jan 2010 28 Comments
After trying Wimpy with N & Heema, and as a part of our “retro-burger” experience, Hungry Bunny had to be next. Although I didn’t enjoy Wimpy that much, but the idea of eating HB once more was on my mind all the time. I guess I was looking for some “closure” because of the way this whole food chain disappeared :p. Anyway, I didn’t want to try the one in Hawali cause I know it’s not the original one.
A Blast From The Past: حسين جاسم – توني عرفتك زين
8 Jan 2010 3 Comments
توني عرفتك زين تلعب على الحبلين
غيرك يحب واحد وانت تحب اثنين
ساعة تلاقيني و ساعة أهو يلقاك
ليتك تخليني ولا تخلي ذاك
عفت الهوا والحب منك يابو ويهين
لاتقول قالو الناس شفتك أنا بعني
من حر ما في القلب و من حر ما فيني
عفت الهوا والحب منك يابو ويهين
ساعة أقول صغير توا احب توا
و ساعة أقول خداع ما عنده إمرووة
عفت الهوا والحب منك يابو ويهين
Kuwait’s “lets forget 2009″ List
6 Jan 2010 17 CommentsOn 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?

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*
6 Jan 2010 6 Comments
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.

Signor Sassi – Third Time’s A Charm?
2 Jan 2010 3 Comments
Today was my second time dining at Signor Sassi, I didn’t post my first experience because it was pretty bad. The food was not that great and the service was like a bad horror movie, I could have gotten better service at McDonald’s.
Today’s encounter was a bit better, I tried a breaded veal and it was pretty good. The service was also better but still needs much work. waiters still don’t know their menu. I had a simple question that was “is your cheesecake baked?” and waited for 5 minutes to get an answer. It wasn’t baked and wasn’t good for those who are planning to have cheesecake for dessert.
Still going to give it one more chance before completely writing it off. Hope you don’t disappoint Signor Sassi.
