One in One – وحده اب وحده

After writing my “The H1N1 Stupid Poster” post, I got a fever like 30 minutes after publishing the post. I was in bed for the rest of the day, and still dizzy the next and a little feverish. No one would come close to me thinking I’ve got swine flu, oh the irony.

Anyway, I feeling much better now. Thanx to Triple-A for hijacking the blog the awesome posts.

Simple Pleasures

Hobby, profession, work, fun … etc

There is a different level of pleasure in all of them for every person, last night I was thinking to myself what shoots my pleasure up high while doing it ?

I simply see it as follows:

1- Too good at it.

2- Too good for somebody else that you care for.

3- Just meant to be (naturally godly induced desires).

4- If you have absolutely no pleasure in doing something then you can teach yourself (trick your psyche part of your brain) to love it, just smile and say “WOOOW that was AWESOME” !

All what I have previously said was an introduction to say, “Yesterday, myself & N waited Two & Half hours just to play football for 2 hours a week in September & October” !!

though we thought we came early, 30 people were before us ! how early do we need to come to be the 1st to have a number ?

Now why can’t Youth & Sports Association (elhayaa) provide more facilities for this one highly desired pleasure, let’s say in every school and be opened for the public. With all the millions spent on whatever and the millions stolen by whoever, why not help us to steer our youth away from forbidden pleasures toward a healthy bright future, not just for sports but all kind of things.

Where’s My Stuff [UPDATE]

I posted earlier about my phone being shipped and should arrive Monday or Tuesday. But after checking on it today, to my surprise, my stuff were in Kuwait yesterday and in Bahrain today. I called DHL and the guy on the phone told me that package is still in Bahrain, I told him (and as you can see from the picture) my package shows that it was in Kuwait yesterday but not anymore.

I’m still waiting to here back from them. Damn, I want my phone.

UPDATE:
I just got of the phone, and the say it’s a scanning error. I will know for sure this afternoon when my shipment is scheduled for release from customs.

My HTC Hero Has Shipped

Exactly one month after pre-ordering the HTC Hero, it has finally shipped and on it’s way. I’m expecting it next Monday/Tuesday. Will post as soon as I get it.

I ordered the HTC Hero from Expansys, I was charged a total of £371.77 which is about KD175, Thats including shipping to Kuwait. And I think I get a £30 voucher, which makes the total almost KD160, Thats a KD120 cheaper than the 16 GB iPhone 3GS that I’m trying to talk everybody I know out of upgrading to it, especially if you own an iPhone 3G, because it makes no sense.

This is the first internationally released Android phone, which means that it should do very well, and we should see a larger adoption rate and also see more apps made for it.

I’ll do a review if it’s worth the hype after I spend a few days with the phone.

Welcoming New Guest Writers

3 of my friends will be guest writers on the blog, I still have no idea what they will write about or how often. But hey, the more the merrier, right?

The writers are Triple A, Zidaneoo and Heema. Hope they will start posting soon.

Google Voice

It looks that Google just sent out another patch of invites to their Google Voice service. Got my invite today, I really wanted to try this out when I was in the states. Darn

If you haven’t heard of Google Voice, Check out this video:

And no you can’t use it in Kuwait

I already started putting together my PC, and almost done with the WHS server and the media center PC.

Added to the list:

- Overclock my PC.

- Setup the Logitech Harmony remote. (Amazon Link) which I found in Best Buy Kuwait in hawally for 39KD, much cheaper than amazon.

To-Do List

I have a lot of things to do and a lot of things to setup, and I will setup a widget to accommodate my chores.

Most importantly, the things I must setup:

- Setup new PC.
- Setup Media Center PC.
- Setup Windows Home Server.
- Setup my new special router (talk about it later).

Back in Kuwait

Finally, after more than 30 hours of traveling we arrieved in Kuwait this morning.

After more than 3 months outside of Kuwait, it’s really good to be back, even though the heat smacked me in the face as soon as the airport’s sliding doors opened.
