Amaya Restaurant

After reading some reviews and checking Amaya's menu I decided to order from this restaurant. The menu is a combination of seafood & chinese food. Amaya Restaurant Located in Mishrif Co op, you can find some review/Menu through 24:8am and q8paperdump . The food was good, it wasn't waaaw though! In fact it was way below my expectation.. The Pics on the menu look much tastier! However if you are planing to try this restaurant I suggest that you go to the restaurant directly instead of home delivery. because seafood are preferred to be fresh/hot from the oven to your table!

Amaya

I Appreciate You

I received this message in my inbox and thought of sharing it with you "In this world we live in today,not enough people bother to say just how much you are appreciated.Lives go by, and people die,and never know how important they are.So at the funeral, everyone shows up to show their respects to the family that is left.But wouldn't it be great if we could tell them how we feel before it is too late?Don't wait until your family and loved ones have passed, because the worst feeling in the world is not being able to share how you feel. So take the time and pass this on to let your loved ones know that you love and appreciate them. Make the best out of life, because it is gone before we know it."

Life is short..take some actions before it's too late!

Shower time

What's your favorite shower gel?

I've been using Radox Shower gel lately.. The Shea Butter nouireshd shower gel smelt quite relaxing.. As I squeezed a clod of shower cream out into my hand the scent that buffed up from it was lovely, It moisturizes your body & completely relaxes u! Unfortunatily I didn't found it here in Kuwait! It is available in the UK and while I was in Bahrain I found it in one of the supermarket "Almontazah", I wish I would've brought a suitcase full back to Kuwait.

NAZ Restaurent

I found this Persian Restaurant while I was searching for home delivery service through the blog "A blogger who stores scrap papers and transfer them to his blog into digital form"

Well done Paper Dumper your blog helped a lot!

The food was excellent.. hot/fresh/and tasty..I had the khorest-e Ghomeh Sabdzi & Baghali Polo Rice. It took them only 15 minutes to deliver the food!

Vaseline Cocoa butter

I've been using Vaseline Cocoa butter for a while now..and I really like it. Amazingly it melts inside the skin and smooths away dullness.

Vaseline made and excellent change when they add Cocoa Butter to their product line! I remember once I was searching for a good cocoa & shea butters lotion online, and coincidently I found an ad to Vaseline "Cocoa butter" new product range.. I didn't find it here in Kuwait at that time, so I called Sultan center as usual and asked them to bring it! Within a week they call me back and told me that they only received the lotion. and since that day they started to provide more quantities for sell.

The one I am using now is the cocoa butter deep conditioning lotion, still didn't try/not yet available the smoothing body butter, and the vitalizing Gel body oil of the same range.

Off to Bahrain + Final Exams Preparation

EidKoOom Mubarka

O 3asakom min El3aideen el Faizeen

O Tigabal Allah minkom Saleeh el A3mal

.

I am off to Bahrain for couple of days to visit my firend who I've already mentioned about her in one of my previous post "123456789"! And since finals exams approaching we decided to study together, and spend some time out for a long/short break in between.

No other plane of this size offers so much room and comfort throughout the aircraft and we will have the lowest seating density on an A320 compared with all other scheduled airlines in the world".

The Power of Invisibility

Have you ever think about this before,being able to walk while you are physically dematerialized?.. Suppose that you were given the disappearing formula that works only for three hours of being totally invisible to others, while no one can see/feel your existence! and the chance of having this powerful formula are given for only once. Now that you have the only one chance to disappear physically, what would you do during your disappearance? Remember you have 3 hours only.

Gmail with New Themes

Gmail added new themes feature to their Email interface, where you can customize your gmail account with different themes. Themes also are customized automatically by your location, Gmail use the location information you provide to assign these changes with your local sunset, sunrise and/or weather. When you select one of the themes in your Settings page/Theme tab, a country/ region drop down menu will show up. Select your country/city to make this change effect with your themes collection.

Maachla Online Grocery

While I was on facebook.. there was an ad for a local grocery called Maachla. They follow the same concept of taw9eel "online grocery to home delivery".
I didn't try it yet. but I did some comparisons between "Taw9eel" and "Maachla" in terms of price and menu variety. Maachla is slightly cheaper than taw9eel. and they provide great deal of variety in their website.

Who's next? -----> :) "More competitor + cheaper prices".

For more information about Maachla visit there website

Selfishness

Have you ever encounter extremely selfish people in your life? how do you deal with them?

I believe that human nature is inherently selfish, selfishness is nothing else but a way to receive without giving, they are blind enough to see the selfishness in themselves.

While altruistic, those who treat people the way they want to be treated! and give the much they can give without expecting anything in return.

I don't really understand those people.. It is really annoying!

Second Week At AUM

I've been busy lately with the beginning of my first semester at AUM for the MBA program. So far everything tend to be just cool..I have three lectures for this semester each lecture require 3 hours attendance per day/week, and a half hour break in the middle of the lecture.

The timing is somehow flexible but since it is a long way driving from Kuwait city to Al Egaila where the new building of the University located, I am reaching home late at night!

The teaching staff are excellent, and the program was so organised and very well structured.

I also had a different/positive view/concept for business , which one day was out of my concern before attending the MBA program. I didn't like financial accounting that much :( but I started loving economics :)
I eat a late breakfast the day I am having lectures and skip both lunch and dinner meal! I might eat light snack when I am back to home from the University, but the thing that I don't have time for dinner, usually I don't eat late at night! and I barely have my shower when am back,spend few hours reading/surfing, then sleEep Zzzzz.
As for lunch, if I ate my lunch before going to the University I would end up in laziness! and I might lose concentration! "in fact it does not really matter since it would be an added advantage to lose some weights"!

What a hectic day!

You know this feeling when you have to wake up the next day in the early morning to start your first day at work after Ramadan and Eid holiday, while you still didn't programmed your self for the new timing!

It was almost 1 Am when I entered my room, preparing my self to sleep early *lol* in order to wake up early!

I turned on the TV and logged into the Internet before sleeping.. As I was not feeling sleepy at all! 15 minutes later I decided to sleep and force my self to do so.

I switched off everything in the room (laptop,TV,Lights) as I was so worried not skip my work the next day! 20 minutes later between trying to sleep and checking the time every 5 minutes. I decided to log on again! I felt deplorably bad and alerted, why the hell I am not able to sleep? 15 minutes later I turned on the TV too! and decided to watch gossip girl! I thought the idea of watching the TV would make me fall asleep. I spent the entire time between watching the TV, reading through the blogs, and playing Isketch. Ohh god it was 3 AM what's up with me!!! I have to sleep I have to sleep I have to sleep, I kept repeating those words! again I turned everything off. I also started counting the sheep! I remembered once at my childhood, my aunt told me if you are not able to sleep, close your eyes and imagine a flock of sheep jumping over a fence while counting the number that do so. it just like something that tire the eyes which also simulate rapid eye movement.

While I was counting the sheep, I felt my eyes blinking whenever a sheep jumps.. it wasn't funny at all! The time was passing and didn't know what to do.. shall I stay awake until work time? am I going to function well without sleeping!!! by the way what's the longest time you've gone without sleep?

Again I ended up continue watching gossip girl until 5 AM, and that was the last time I checked on my watch.

At 6 AM I felt my head exploding, it was my wake up alarm. I used my cell phone and hit snooze about three times until I wake up.

It was a long busy day at work... however, spending only 60 minutes while sleeping.. wasn't that bad after all :)

Now the worst part that I am still awake :) I don't feel sleepy at all! sounds weird but I just cant sleep at this time and never did before!

Spending 5 hours trying to figure out the wepkey

I am in Bahrain now for Eid Holiday.. I came here to visit my friend who is staying and studying there. She picked me up from the airport heading back to her apartment. when we reached there I remembered something important that have to be done through the Internet! I switched my laptop on trying to connect to the Internet via her wireless connection.

Me: what is your wep key?

Bhh: emmmm... try 0123456789

Me: it does not work!!

Bhh: then try 1234567890

Me: are you sure about the wep key?

Bhh: yes it was something like that!

Me: Ohh god... please, try to remember!

Bhh: Then try 0987654321 or 9876543210

Me: Comeon both are not working!

Bhh: I am not sure I cant remember!

Me: Ok lets go out for dinner and we will try to figure it out later!

Bhh: Ok

So we went out for dinner and did some grocery shopping together.. after that we returned back to here place.

I was trying to read the manual for "net gear access point" in order to solve this bothering problem.

She offered me her laptop, but I didn't really wanna use her laptop since I have to check some important issues from my own laptop where the passwords are stored there and couldn't really memorise them!

Again to the search process but this time trying to find out a software that might retrieves her wep key. it took me more than two hours searching for the right software for the retrieval process! until I found "wireless key view" for retrieving wep key passwords!

it was free of charge, a very simple software. I did the installation on her machine. and guess what was the password? 1234567891 !!!!!!!

I couldn't stop laughing and spend the entire day repeating the numbers in a loud voice!! again and again!

Eid Greetings from TG to all blogger

Eidkum Mubarak :) O 3asakoOom min 3awadah.

Google 10th Birthday

Happy 10th Birthday "Google"!

Little Monkey discovering & wondering

My sis came yesterday carrying a yellow cage with her.. I was wondering is it a dog or cat? Guess what was inside it? an adorable little Monkey!!! it was a gift for my cousin who is in deep love with animals. She purchased it through the Internet and got it released from the customs yesterday. So the Monkey stayed for two day at our house because she wanted to make some medical test/checkup to make sure that he is in a good condition. and to get him some clothes and stuff before sending him to their house.

The best part that we were trying to let him wear the diaper while making sure not to hurts his tail.. looool ..as we made a small hole to get his tail out of the diaper!!

Emmm.. do I have to wear this!

Today early morning and before going to my work, I wanted to check on him, he was totally sad and scared :( I stayed playing with him for couple of minutes and while I was leaving the room he started screaming and shouting!!!! He didn't really want me to leave as he was feeling lonely! but I had no choice since I was almost late for my work. When I came back from work I found him sleeping tight holding the towel innocently! Litttle monkey you've been missed

Ohh yeah Banan is my favorite

World's mightiest atom-smasher starts operations today - Wed,Sep 10, 2008

The world's biggest atom smasher fired up today by the particle physicists, in a mission to answer some of the most perplexing questions about "The nature of the universe"designed to simulate conditions of the Big Bang that created the physical Universe .

They have fired a beam of particles called protons around the 27km long tunnel which houses the LHC "Large Hadron Collider" that was designed to accelerate sub atomic partiles to nearly the speed of light and then smash them together! with a machine that costs 5 billion Pounds.

Another big challenge will be testing the theory of supersymmetry, which postulates that the members of the known bestiary of sub-atomic particles have related, but more massive, counterparts.

Internet-driven rumours said the LHC would create black holes or a nasty hypothetical particle called a strangelet that would gobble up the planet. CERN commissioned a panel to verify its safety calculations and France also carried out its own assessment.
