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

earthquakes ? what earthquakes

Most news outlets and couple of blogs are saying there was an earthquakes yesterday , normal i’m sleeping but yesterday i stayed up late , i never felt anything , yet one of the news outlets is saying that people get out of their apartment building scared.

Hell there is one blogger blaming the government for not doing anything , what ? what could they do ?

فعلا هذا أقل وصف تستحقه الجهات المسؤولة على هذا الإستهتار و التراخي, النوم بالعسل أو في العسل كلاهما سيان لحكومة.إلى الآن لا تعرف إجازتها “سبت ولا يمعه” فهي في هذا الوقت “شخري” ولا تحس بشئ من الهزة التي حس بها الكثير من سكان الكويت و هي زلزال بقوة 4.3 على مقياس ريختر الذي لم يستطع إفاقة المسؤوليين عن هذا الأمر من نومهم السعيد و دعك كروشهم المنتفخة

[translation]
this is just what the least of the authorities deserve on this Casualness and inaction , sleeping in honey ( Arabic metaphor for deep sleeping ) or at work are the same for a government that does not know if its holiday is on Saturday or Friday because they are snoring at this time and does not feel the quake that most of Kuwaiti felt and its an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.3 on richter scale which didn’t awake the people responsible from their sleep not to mention their bloated belly
[/translation]

yes we have to blame the government for its mistake but lets not get carried away, thats is just too much in my opinion , what can they do ? call us after it happened ?

2/8 I will not forget ..

Whatever my government try to do
Whatever the failures at the invasion try to do
I will not forget

Now its been 17 years since the invasion , funny how all the monuments have been removed ( the tank at Sheraton roundabout , the bullet at UN roundabout …etc ) and no mention of the invasion at all on the TV .

Do they think that we will forget ? yes they do , and they are going remarkable success in it , who would have thought that after 17 years of a country invading another you find people marching for the invader soccer win in the invaded country ?
yeah Iraqi marching because they won the Asian cup , excuse me ? its not even 20 years , thousands were killed and we let them march ? the police doesn’t let Kuwaiti march if the national soccer team win and they let Iraqi’s ?

Car Review : Yangzi Pickup

So the family needed to buy a Pickup , and because its to be Abused i went to buy something cheap and reliable

after a bit of search At showrooms i found the a new Brand Yangzi

An unknown really , but with a price gap of at least 400 KD between it and other known brands

Back of the Pickup

after i took it from the showroom

My pickup at the showroom

it stayed at the house for a while , then i took it to Wafra

the Drive wasn’t Easy , since the car was manual and its been a long time since i last drove one , of course i did the beginner error ( you aren’t used to hit the clutch when you break ) it stopped twice 🙂 once at our Area and one at Wafra
Which isn’t bad , but none the less the car was nice , the AC was working nicely , the Radio was working great till i reached near Wafra it started to stutter , then i noticed that the Radio Areal wasn’t raised ( which would have explained the problem )

Wafra Farms

of course since i took it from one drive couldn’t see the gas usage .
