Fire at The Avenues
Passed by the Avenues today on my way to Carrefour found out it was closed due to a fire. Respecting the Avenue’s policy of no photographs without permission we decided to leave photographs out of this post.
Any one knows what happened?
Finding the Right Kitchen
We’re in the phase of installing a new Kitchen, but we’re not really sure where to look. Om ya3goub is looking for something made of wood, something like Ikea’s kitchens. We went and saw them, but we’re not 100% sure that they are exactly what we want + their prices were a little over the top.
Do you have any recommendations on where we can find high quality kitchens that wont break the bank ?

The Live Video Feed was being shown all around the globe for the international launch of the BB10 these were the countries that were involved :

A lot of the features of the new BB10 were introduced to us, including the BB Hub

How’s Your Experience with Mada and Which Mobile ISP would you suggest ?
I’ve recently moved places and i’m living without a phone line for the time being. I’ve been trying out Mada, however the maximum speed I get is 2 Mbps and that is just too slow for me however the no-cap and 2 mbps might just be enough to keep me alive until I get a phone line. I’ve also used Zain’s LTE, managed to get speeds of up to 52 Mbps which is just mouth watering, but I managed to finish the cap within the first 14 days (the 35 GB offer) which is a little unhelpful to me. Which mobile ISP would you recommend ?
The image below shows my signal strength with Mada, however the Maximum download speeds I obtain are 2 Mbps. When I called them up, they said they couldn’t really help and 2 Mbps are good and it might be because of congestion in my area. It would’ve been nice if they asked or suggested that someone can come to check and maybe find a fix to the problem.
Do you have any other internet subscriptions you would recommend? Heavy downloading and would like to have a high uploading speed so that I can upload my YoutTube Videos.
Thank God it happened in my FJ Cruiser
Last night I had a small accident where 2 Cola cups tipped over in the car while I was driving and I ended up with quite a sticky situation – Literally. I’ll let the pictures do the talking :
BTW; The nice thing about the FJ Cruiser is that the flooring is all plastic and can be cleaned and washed easily, couldn’t imagine the mess that it would have done if it was in another car :/
This was in the rear Foot-well area, It wasn’t very pleasant either :/
The Cola ended up drifting around the Flooring covering everything. I ended up drying it up and it was another job for Tuff Stuff
Why NOT to Reset Your Mada SOHO Router!
Today I decided to test out the Mada Router they gave us for review last month in a couple of different locations. Unfortunately I forgot the WiFi Password and decided to reset the device, I assumed that it would be as simple as calling them up and asking them for instructions on how to set it up afterwords.
However, when I called, the only solution was that I have to take the device to them to re-program, their office hours are from 9-4, which are problematic since I work from 8-4. Mada – > You have to offer a better solution to this problem! I’m sure I can follow some of their simple instructions for setup over the phone, however for some reason they refused and would only help me if I took the device all they way to their workshop in Kuwait City to setup, which don’t work in the afternoon!!!!
