Arsenal vs Man-United in 3D

Sky Sports will launch the first 3D TV sports event to the public today by broadcasting Arsenal vs Manchester United match. The bad news is that they will film the match in 3D and broadcast it to a selected pubs around UK and Ireland only !

They didn't name the pubs because they fear of over crowding and they estimated that between 450 and 700 viewer will have the chance to watch the game in 3D. However, they will broadcast the normal version to the public.

3D TVs will soon be available in the market and TV channels will start to broadcast 3D content to the public. Imagine watching movies, TV shows, cartoons and sports all in 3D.

Mushrooms in Kuwait Desert

While camping, it was very strange when we saw mushrooms growing inside my friends camp. It's nice to see different plants growing in Kuwait's desert and I hope to see more than mushrooms.

Note : Don't eat or pick up any mushroom by your bare hands and if you did wash your hands before touching any other object, thats because there are edible and poisonous mushrooms and it's hard to know the difference between the two kinds.

Herfy in Kuwait

The most well known fast food restaurant in Saudi Arabia "Herfy", is going to open it's branches all over Kuwait. We saw the first one in South Surra "Al-Zahra Co-op" (The picture above), and now they're going to open a new branch also in Qadisya besides Kanafani (The picture below).

I tried "Herfy" once, the prices are very good compared to other restaurants and it wasn't bad. It kinda reminds me of "Al-Batreeq" restaurant.

But to be honest, I prefer other restaurants over Herfy .. It's just my opinion !

Update : According to our readers, the first Herfy restaurant was in Jabriya.

Bigger Red Bull Cans ?

Yesterday I noticed that the size of Red Bull cans became bigger than the old ones. I wasn't sure enough until I put the two cans close to each other and I was right !

So .. they want us to be like superman instead of the old wings ? hmmmm

Nadal, Will You Marry Me?

This is a must see everybody. A female fan proposes to Rafael Nadal at the tennis court. Look at nadal's face after hearing what she said. That totally cracked me up.

Death Race

It's very sad to hear that many young teenagers passed away because of car accidents, and even more sad when we notice that the accidents happened because they were racing. Yesterday we heard about five teenagers ( 17-20 years old and one of them is 30 ) that have been killed and 18 injured in a tragic accident in Doha, Kuwait. The accident happened when two cars began to race and crashed while speeding, what made the accident more tragic is that one of the cars drifted away from the road toward the crowds. Click here for the review video from Alwatan TV.

Enna lellah wa 2enna elaih raje3on ..

Note : Some say five were killed and the others say seven.

Key Holder

I'm famous about losing things especially when it comes to my keys, so while my brother was in france he got me this cool magnetic key holder that you can attach on the refrigerator. It looks like a person who is attached to the fridge from one hand while holding the keys on the other hand with a cool red person shape.

From now on I don't need to worry about looking for my keys again!

Rumors : Johnny Depp Died

Ok for those who start this rumor .. please stop lying to people, believing your lies and spreading it. Johnny Depp is one of the great actors and people shouldn't just follow the rumors and broadcast without checking reliable resources first ! .. Johnny Depp is not dead.

I was surprised when I first heard the news, but I learned to never trust anything I hear or read on Twitter and Blackberry. The news that been spread is from an old article posted 6 years ago, it says that he died because of an accident in France ( Check the article ).

Good Luck Bader !

Bader Al-Mutawaa just finished his second day of training in Malaga Club, Spain. It will take the club 10 days of training courses including a friendly match to decide whether they want Bader or not in their team. Officials say that Bader Al-Mutawaa is a reasonable choice to be one of their new team members this winter before the transfer window shuts down. See the footage of his trial in "4thringroad".

Best of luck Bader, we're proud of you !

Review: Law Abiding Citizen

What a fantastic movie! It is definitely worth watching. It makes you wonder, jump, think, get stunned and feel the thrill. A fantastic movie from the very beginning till the end. The acting was superb especially gerard butler, he did an awesome job. I don't want to ruin the story for you so I recommend you to watch it either on DVD or cinema.

I rate the movie 9/10

Lost Dog

As received by Yaqoub:

"I found an adorable female dog today in the streets of Surra area. She was almost got hit by a car, where I had to stop and pick her up. She is very well behaved and playful. There is no collar on her neck, and I can tell from her behavior and health that she is not a street dog. Attached are some pictures of the dog. My contact number is 66361544.

I can not have the dog for so long in my place, I will keep it untill tonight and then my brother will come pick her up and put it in his farm till the owners call. I am hoping the owners call soon."

To Sue Kathma and Barcelona !

The high court decided to look at lawyer Ali Al-Wawan's case on the 25th of April. The case is about suing Kathma along with Barcelona Football Club for manipulating their fans. Kathma announced to Barcelona's fans here in Kuwait that all the main and major players will play that match, but it appears that they didn't ! .. And that made the crowd really angry. The price of tickets were starting from 10KD to 150KD, so is it fair to spend 150KD to watch the reserve players playing ?

I don't think so.

Review: Velvet Cup

A couple of days ago we had a family gathering so I decided to order from Velvet Cup and try their cup cakes. Most of my friends recommended me to try their cup cake as I've heard that it was really good.

Velvet Cup turned out very mouthwatering and delightful. I loved the cream on top which made the cup cake taste so amazingly delicious. The only thing that would perhaps improve Velvet Cup is if they added more flavors and options unlike having only one choice. Nevertheless, I totally loved their cup cake and so did my family.

This has happened recently in the african cup between Mozambique and Benin.

I have no idea what the goalkeeper was thinking at this particular moment!

Coca Cola "Happiness Machine"

An amazing idea by Coca Cola by creating a vending machine that spreads love for each and every person. You can see how people react with happy faces, and they also returned the love by hugging the vending machine.

I think thats very creative from Coca Cola.

Cadbury "SMS I Love You", for real ?

I was shocked when I saw this biscuit wafer from Cadbury, and to name it "SMS I Love You" .. Sorry Cadbury, but I think this is just unprofessional.

Baba Jaber .. Still in Our Hearts

Four years since we lost one of the most greatest men in our history, Our father, Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah .. God bless his soul. Sheikh Jaber was born in Kuwait City and he's the third son of the late Sheikh Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, who served as Kuwait's Ameer from 1921 to 1950. Also he's the third Ameer since Kuwait's independence from Britain, December 31st 1977.

Some of his achievements :

1- He introduced Kuwait's first currency, the Kuwaiti Dinar.
2- Proposed an amendment to Kuwait's Election Law, allowing women to vote and hold office.
3- Credited for his involvement in the creation of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
4- The creation of the Future Generations Funds.
5- Created the martyr office.

The drawing above was done by me the moment I knew that Baba Jaber is no longer among us ..

Review : The Little Oven

The Little Oven is a restaurant for those who love to see many different kind of food in one menu so they can choose whatever they want to eat. Today, I ordered from them their best burger and it's called "Our Famous House Burger" along with "Quesadilla Chickens". The burger was extremely delicious that can be compared with the best burgers in Kuwait. Actually I loved the size of the beef itself, it looks very tasty and mouth-watery.

The quesadilla was good, only if they removed the eggplants .. Because it ruined the taste of the quesadilla.

Update : I've just talked to one of The Little Oven's owners and she was so nice to the point that she accept my request about removing the eggplant from the quesadilla, also she told me that they have a new kind of service. You can order the whole bar, shawerma and grill rack to come at your house, chalet or farm and have your burger cooked in front of you !

Al-Reham Lingerie

A small flyer had been hanged on my car in marina mall a couple of days ago. It's written on it " A website for women that sell lingeries and accessories with a home delivery service".

Alright, first of all this is a bad way for advertising because the website is obviously not for kids and I found a lot of flyers laying around the parking lot.

Out of curiosity I decided to check out their website and well... I'm not going to be commenting on that. But you can check out some cool kitchen and technical accessories they offer here

The 160 Mega Pixel Digital Camera

A Swiss company called "Seitz" created the highest resolution digital camera in the world, and it's called "Seitz D3". Although it can capture a landscape with 160 MP in one second, this camera will make a photographer think twice before buying it. The size of the Seitz D3 is extremely huge and it's also heavy.

But if you are the kind of guy who loves to take extremely high resolution photos, I recommend you to buy this camera. The price is around 11,925KD .. The recommendation part was just me joking !

No Smoking in UAE

Dubai and Abu Dhabi just announced that they banned smoking in specific places, and for those who smoke they will suffer consequences like spending one year in prison or paying 80,000 KD. It just came after we were talking about the "new smoking areas in the Avenues", and I wonder if this law may considered here in Kuwait. I'll copy the points that UAE's law made it clear to all the citizens :

1- Smoking is prohibited in private vehicles in the presence of children under the age of 12.

2- Tobacco products, including cigarettes packs, should contain a written statement and a picture that warn against smoking.

3- Promotional materials that encourage smoking are banned.

4- Cafes located in residential buildings or in residential areas will not be allowed to serve cigarettes or shisha.

5- Individuals and companies who grow tobacco within the UAE, import candies and toys that resemble tobacco products or use equipment used for selling tobacco such as vending machines, could spend up to one year in prison or face a fine of as much as Dh1 million (US$272,250).

6- Those who fail to print warning material on tobacco packages or publish promotional products that urge people to smoke can face a fine of as much as Dh1m.

7- A ban on growing tobacco for commercial use is in place. Tobacco farms and factories have been given time to correct their situation.


I hope they do the same here in Kuwait.

Review: VIVA's Small WIFI Router

We had the chance to try out the new wireless router from VIVA along with p0ach, Buzberry and Blushberry. I've tried the device and tested it concerning the surfing, downloading and streaming. I can only say that the device is excellent in every way.

The connection is fast and it is so amazingly small and petite. It is very easy to access through your laptops since there is no softwares to install. It can support an SD card. I also connected it to my blackberry and it worked just fine. It gives a connection speed of up to 7.2 Mbps. Amazing right?

Government to Control the Internet ?

The government is planning to censor and control what's said and posted in blogs and websites, the blog controlling thing started when Abdullah Al-Muhailbi was Minister, but nothing really happened since that. The blog censorship maybe good for those who cross the line by offending the government and his highness the Amir, but to control those who talk about certain things they dislike or expressing their opinions and thoughts about different life experiance .. I think it's over the freedom limit which is wrong !

"Alwatan Daily" interviewed many bloggers to discuss this issue, to read the whole article click here.
