1 Comment

new show on NPC and coming to One TV ( on nile sat )

The Contender

the show is hosted by Sly and Sugar Ray Leonard

its a show about boxing , it has 12 young boxer all trying to get to the final and win a 1,000,000 dollar prize and a change to face the title holder , and in each episode 2 fighters fight for who stay on the show

till now i saw 3 episodes , with the forth just out on the USA and i’m going to watch it soon

one thing that intersted me in the show is that it has 2 boxer who are of Lebanese descent
Ahmad ” baby face ” khaddour and Tarick ” Arabian Prince ” Salmaci

of course i saw 3 episode , i’m not going to spoil them for you ( its hard not to 😛 ) but if you ask me , the show is nice and fun if you enjoy staged boxing

of coruse try not to follow news about the show till you watch episode 4 , since there is a news story that would spoil the episode for you

2005 census

6 Comments

Well, its 2005 and its time for a new census in Kuwait, so Ministry of planning start working
Counting people and houses

What I want to understand, why still use the old methods like this

Census 2005

Spray paint? My god what are you doing! Why just screw people? Do Kuwait streets and houses need to be uglier with spry paint?

Why not equip people with laptops and GPS and let them roam around marking the houses electronically on the maps and satellite picture
