kuwait , my great country ( at least in my eye ) it has its up and downs , but its still my country

2007 Kuwait Car show , why the focus on women ?

So me and couple guys went to the Kuwait Car Show 2007 , i was planning on replacing my car sometime soon ( mostly in the next 6 months ) so i went to check whats new and price ranges

Something realy strange i noticed this year , the excessive Usage of booth babes in this Show
It seemed as if every Company had some women who her sole duty is to look pretty and know how much the car is worth

I may Trade my kingdom for Eggs !

Today i went to buy grocery stuff from Co-Op as always , they had a sign at the entrace saying ” duo to price hike some items will be unavailable ” i was wondering what was up with that then i found out that there is no egg in our Area Co-Op
no problem , lets check Area next to it , go there , park the car enter Co-Op same thing , no eggs !
so i go to yet another Area Co-Op , same thing NO EGG !

So if you are an Eggaholic , don’t check Co-Op there is no eggs !

Randomizers

few random tidbits from here and there ( in my mind )

* was checking around MOI site , thats one nice site , now they even take pictures of impounded car that are going to be sold off in an auction and posting on the site , one great idea , big thump up on the site

*
Went to the Kuwait Car show , took a lot of pictures ( around 100 ) went with couple of friends , and one of them ( who i lent a camera ) came later to me and was saying that the Camera is out of charge , then i found out he had done over 300 pictures ..
those will be soon up on flicker with couple comment about booth babes 😛

* speaking of booth babes ,what good are they in a car show if they are going to pretend to be able to answer question then calling on an Indian guy to answer it ? just walk around and don’t act smart

* Commitments , too much of them lately it seem , couple online and couple offline i should re-evaluate them

* Power point presentation : its funny how some presentation i make ( which took a combined time of 30-40 minute ) get high grades and praise , I’m not sure why either , maybe because they look genuine effort ?

* Thanks for the help Shurouq

* why when i’m asked for IT help i don’t get normal problems ?
Internet not working ? most normal IT people will just hook the cable or check IP address but me no
its had to be the VOIP thingy and someone switched the AC downgrader from the handset to the main Adapter

Been following the Book about Mubarak AlKabeer on Alari newspaper , well thats 10 KD saved ( that was the price at the kuwait book fair ) because it seem like Biased Rubbish , just a small sample


وصل مبارك الى الحكم في ظروف صعبة ووسط مجموعة من الصراعات السياسية والعسكرية انتهت بمصرع أخويه محمد وجراح

Mubarak arrived to power in difficult circumstances and amid a series of political and military conflict ended in the death of his brother Mohamed and Jarah

you know , we aren’t idiots , he killed them , just say it and don’t Float around it , this book is considering its self a history book not a romantic novel

iran section

next update , what books i bought 🙂

Alien horses or midgets ?

why the question you ask ?
was reading today newspaper and found this small thing

horse jumping

alwatan newspaper [link]

what it basically says is that
” It is possible that the Kuwaiti horse jumping team may withdraw from the last round of the Arab competition because of the high height of 150 meters that the horse must jump and the Kuwaitis horses are not eligible for such height ”

wow here ! hold your horses !! 150 meters jump ? what horse can jump that ? is there a horse that can jump 150 meters ?!
i checked horse jumping on wiki there the there is 7 feet’s ( aka 2.6 meters )

so lets assume its 150 centimeter ( which would mean the guy reviewing in that newspaper suck ) what kind of horse we sent there that can’t jump 150 centimeter ?!? as the wiki link it can go as high as 2.6 meters ! and we send horses that can’t jump 1.5 meters ?!

now i want to see that competition ,, i want to see horses jumping 150 meters in the air !!
