Totally random!

My mom loves found objects and I think I inherited that from her. Few days ago while having lunch with the family I saw this weird looking thing she found while walking around.

It looks like the grave of some barbarian fighter or something. It could also be the cheesiest ornaments to decorate your house with.

I slept over at my family’s house last night. My parents are going for haj together and I feel like I have to spend more time with them before they leave. I might even stay over with my brothers and sisters for the whole haj period till my parents come back.

One thing I was looking forward was seeing how long it will take me to get to work from jahra. I mean I know I’ve been living in jahra all my life but I just wanted to make sure and just compare it to the long times I spend on Fahaheel Expressway on my way to work from Salwa (where I live at the minute).

I left the house at 7:07 and I reached the office at 7:44. If I left my Salwa residence at 7:07 I would be stuck in the school traffic and barely be able to make it to work on time. (at 8:30) Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating but c’mon for crying out loud, it’s supposed to be an expressway, right?

I lost count of how many traffic lights are on my way from jahra but I can tell you, the are more than 5, 4 round abouts, endless turns here and there. Still, I get to work faster if I’m coming from Jahra.

It’s a bit late but I just saw that and I gotta admit although my position is clear about this issue I still admire the light-hearted humor in this slogan, beats burning embassies in my book anytime of the fucking week.

I think I will make a t-shirt out of this.

For non-jahrawi-bedouin-arabic-speacking people, It’s “Ya Mal’ Al Ba’ar Yal Denyemark’ … I can’t even think of a translation.

There’s a bit of a real jahrwai in me, I want a GT, I want that GT.
For those who are really curious to know what’s written in there …
والله أني عارف وش النهاية
roughly translated
I really know how it’s gonna end.

OK, Chicken Nuggets won’t get this one.

I just hope some people will get it and appreciate the fact I actually had to chase the guy, STOP HIM, and ask for his permission to take a shot of his hilarious car plate. Of course he was suspicious and stuff and he asked me “WHY?” … so I made up a story on the spot. “My friend Ahmad Sa’eed Salmaan always signs his initials on everything and I think it would be a nice if I can show him your car plate.” Of course after a lot of begging he let me do it and he took a shot of my mug too “just in case”, poor guy.

Beat that Amunki! :p

Update: I re-touched the image a little bit.

Sorry for being a way for a bit, Eid makes me really lazy which reminds me … Happy Eid and all that. It’s been quite lately except for the surprise birthday party my mom threw for me. That’s what you get when for being a good son who do surprise parties for his parents on their birthdays.

I’m moving soon to some office in the city and the cool thing is I won’t have to pay a penny. I made a deal with one of my clients (more like a partner now) who use my services on regular basis, to use this empty room in his office in exchange for my services. We agreed on some system to do this so it will be fair for both of us.

I hope this is the first step to move out of jahra.

So, I would love to hear from you guys any tips about moving and stuff like that.

God bless

It’s 22 degrees (celiuses) in jahra, my body shivered when I was outside wearing a t-shirt. Now I’m not sure what dishdashah I’m gonna tailor.

Bu Rashid, Summery? wella Wintery.

I found this yesterday in a clinic here in jahra, while I was taking the shot I was worried the munaqaba nurse might object but all she did was laugh her ass off.

OK, I got a confession to make. I did something, It’s bad, it’s very bad.

Before you jump on me and make conclusions and judge me, let me explain. I swear to god I didn’t know, I was tricked into it. My friend (the devil) made me do it. He was like “Let’s go to entertainment city”, and I was like “entertainment city? what the hell are you on?” but he explained “Well, marina mall is getting boring and you know it’s thursday … lots of chicks will be there”. I couldn’t argue with that, We agreed to meet there.

I reached the tickets booth and I handed the guy 3.5 KDs (the usual ticket price) but he said “No it’s 5 KDs today” I didn’t even ask why, I gave him the money and I got the ticket. On my way to the entrance I noticed a familiar mug on the ticket, “Oh Shit!”.

I managed to stay away from the concert as long as I could, I got busy with games and food but I was near the stage when the presenter announced the big star of the night “Aliiii Al Deeeek” I couldn’t help but shout “kooo kooo koooooo koooooo”.

On a side note, I got tired with the whole dali moustache thing. I’m back to the same good ol’ goatee.

What would an aspiring musician do if he had a shit load of musical instruments, 6 brothers, 3 sisters and a very bad urge to rock.

Yes, he would start his own big band. well, at least that’s what I did.

We don’t really play jazz nor swing, we are trying to be the next big thing in electronica by playing IDM acoustically. Our style is very Improvisational yet planned, noisy yet quite … I hope you got the idea.

In this set we focused on the percussion instruments, next recordings will definitely incorporate more non-percussion instruments.

Okay so there’s this door in my car that doesn’t lock properly. It never was a problem so I never bothered to fix it. Well, Last week proved to me that IT IS a problem.

So I’m starting my car, putting my stuff next to me and trying to fetch my portable cd player from the backseat, It appears that while I was applying my crazy driving skills on the streets of Kuwait, My cd player jumped to the backseat. That what I was thinking when I traced the power wires to the backseat … and the shocking news … THE CD PLAYER IS NOT THERE.

Damn, Where the hell did this thing go? I couldn’t find any other explanation. IT’S STOLEN.

So I was thinking of the alternatives. Since I didn’t get into the whole IPod revolution yet. Tape was the logical option. Now I have this weird thing for tapes, If it was on tape it gotta be Rock ‘n’ Roll. It just seem natural, you are riding a motor then you got to listen to rock. It’s the only kind of music that goes well with riding a car.

Also, while I was searching my room for tapes I found these tapes that I recorded awhile ago, It was like an audio diary … felt very nostalgic while listening to myself telling the stories of my day.

This post is Inspired by Nibaq’s Post on Tapes.
