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

Low profile kuwaiti bloggers

I think we kuwaiti bloggers are under the rader , which could be good and could be bad

For example in dar Alhayat Newspaper [link][via] i found these 2 lines about kuwaiti bloggers

وليس عند البلوغرز الكويتيين ما يخشون من حكومتهم، وهم يعقدون اجتماعات والبلوغز الكويتية مجموعة في موقع واحد، وهناك نساء ورجال، وقرأت أنه أصبح في الكويت أكثر من مئة بلوغر.

English translation

And kuwaiti bloggers has nothing to fear from their government , they have meetings and the kuwaiti blogs are grouped in one location , there are women and men , and i read that there are over 100 bloggers in kuwait

And that was only 2 lines in a series of 7 article !

Other than some article from abdullatif al duaije ( عبداللطيف الدعيح ) than link to some blog from time to time , others do not show any connetion with bloggers .

What do you think , is going under the rader good or bad ?

kems – zajil

for some reason my work switched from quality net to zajil

how did i know that ?

blcoked

yeah good old blocked message

I know it may sound as a small thing , but couldn’t they like change the link ? its still links to kems.net
and change the graphic , ad something that make me know what company is doing what
and the word ” Prohibited Access” sound like someone was trying to enter CIA files

oh and in case you were wondering , someone linked funlol.com for me , and it showed as blocked when i clicked on it

safety in kuwait

I think people are carefree in Kuwait; there is nothing else that could explain something like this

feeling safe ?

Does having a closed file shelf blocking your way to get the fire extinguisher make you feel safer?
Why does everything have to be a reaction? Do not plan for anything in this country?

I know there are people who are great at improvising, the days after 1990 were a good example, but we can’t just improvise everything, there should be some planning

At the start of this year, the government wanted to give each Kuwaiti 200 KD, and what happen? We had to register, they had to contact banks, some people (they claim around 3000) weren’t even registered, why are doing all this?
Did the American government start a registration period to give tax refund? No they had IRS and POSTAL service that they could count on (which is something we can’t say about our postal service)

Seriously the postal service is in shambles, you can relay on them to get you the bombs
But something you won at Ebay? Right, good luck

Work Union

God they started a work union in my work a year ago, they did 1 trip to Failaka and another to makkah for umrah and that’s it.

You may say hey, failaka is nice, yeah I know it is, I signed up for the trip, they had to postponed it because of bad weather, they said they would call me when they have the new time, and they went 3 weeks later WITHOUT CALLING ME.

I talked to the president of the Union, and he laughed about it and said that my department sucks and I deserve it ( he think of him self as a funny man ) .

That sucks, why I’m paying money each month? For crap like that? Hey, your magazine is shit, if I show it to any one with some knowledge how magazine are done he would cringe and may suffer for days.

I think Union are bad , they may make some good at first , then long tirm , they destroy everything ( as seen in GM )

Summer Time !

Summer is on ! 50 C today .
Hopefully the worker heat protection law is enforced , its basicly unhuman to make them work in that heat

Best thing about the summer ? kuawit streets , there is no one on the street , you can go around and not get stuck in traffic

What plan does everyone have for the summer ?
