The 7 Million Batons Deal

According to Mr. Al-Barrak, 7,000,000.000KD (almost 25 million USD) were spent on batons. Thats a lot of batons, didn’t they have any to begin with?

A quick search and I found a sweet 26″ rubber handle steel baton for $23.95 didn’t go through and see how much shipping would cost but that means that they bought a baton for every kuwaiti man, woman and child. leaving 1 million for shipping too.

And also, if you are buying 1,000,000 batons, I’m sure you would get a discount.

Al Hamra Tower is Huge

I managed to snap this picture in a hazy morning a few days ago over Kuwait City. And you can see both Kuwait Towers (to the left) and Al-Hamra Tower (biggest freaking building in the picture). The size difference is just overwhelming.

Al-Hamra tower has a number of firsts, world’s first sculptured skyscraper, tallest stone covered structure on earth and others. For more info click here

Blue Post – Yabooh

After 12 years of drought, Kuwait are once again the Gulf champions for the 10th time. Everyone hit the streets after mere minutes of the win. Waleed Ali scored a wonderful goal to hand Kuwait the win.

The current Kuwaiti team is a joy to watch. They’ve got character, spirit and determination which previous teams lacked. I hope they maintain this form going into the Asian Cup next month.

Mabrook to all.

A Blast From The Past – نبيل شعيل – يا شمس

مهما يقولوا الناس وعن حبنا قالوا
حبك يا اغلى الناس باقي على حالوا
يشهد عليّ الله الغالي ما انساه
ايدي بايدك يا حبيبي من الفجر حتى المغيبِ
يا شمس لا لا لاتغيبي
نملك الدنيا بايدينا والله لايغير علينا
يا شمس لا لا لاتغيبي
يا حبيبي الله الله .. انا احبك الله الله .. انته بالدنيا نصيبي
يا شمس لا لا لاتغيبي
احنا علمنا الاحبه هكذا تكون المحبه
يا شمس لا لا لاتغيبي
في الهنا عشنا سويه عيشتٍ حلوه هنيه
يا شمس لا لا لاتغيبي
يا حبيبي الله الله .. انا احبك الله الله .. انته بالدنيا نصيبي
يا شمس لا لا لاتغيبي
العمر بنعيشه مره ليش اخلي العيشه مره
يا شمس لا لا لاتغيبي
والحياه وشفيها يسوى غير لحظه حب حلوه
يا شمس لا لا لاتغيبي
يا حبيبي الله الله .. انا احبك الله الله .. انته بالدنيا نصيبي
يا شمس لا لا لاتغيبي
يالعاشقين اهكذا الحب بيني وبينه
يالسامعين اهكذا الحب بيني وبينه
مابي مابي ياروحي الا هواه
