Our Camping Trip to AlSomman

DudeEnvironment, General, Resorts 4 Comments

A couple of guys and I decided to go camping in an Area Called “AlSumman” South of Hafer AlBatin in Saudi Arabia. There’s nearly no mobile phone coverage it was a detox from technology. I’ll leave you with some pics :

We were 4 cars (here’s a group photo)

The following pics show the environment there, nice and green (only specific places were like this and not the whole area)

The area was surrounded by Shepherds and would see sheep walking by during the day.

Chilling in the sun hehe.. no mobile phones, no computers, just good friends talking and eating 😛 lol

Breakfast

Lunch (An experimental Kabsa 😛 turned out yummy in the end hehe)

Coffee, tea by the fire at night

Lunch:

Steak, and Tikka

Some random Shots:

 

 

It was raining heavily on our way back to Kuwait, we had to drive through hafer al batin and into Kuwait through the AlSalmi Gateway.

The Amount of Alarms That I Needed to Wake Up This Morning!

DudeGeneral 1 Comment

These are exactly the number of alarms that I needed to get out of bed this morning, I have a sore throat and beginning a cold, so i took some Cold medication that also contains a sedative, I usually take it the night before, but this time I took a big dose at 2 AM since I couldn’t sleep due to my sore throat. It literally took me 4 Alarms to get out of bed. A sick leave wasn’t an option today as I had some work that was due today. What would you do in these circumstances?

 

The Dangers of Small Magnets to Young Children and Teenagers

DudeEducation, Health, Training 2 Comments

A lot of children have been using small magnets as fake jewelry and fake piercings, usually they’ll learn to use them from some of their friends at school. Just in case, please do show these videos to your children to make sure they know the risks of using magnetised jewelry, or magnets to fake tongue or nose piercings.  Also if you have these small magnetic toys do keep them safely away from children.

Dell’s Answer to the Macbook Air

DudeGeneral, Technology Leave a Comment

The Ultrabooks, PC’s long awaited come back to the Macbook Air. Netbooks came in short when it came to performance, where most tablets today have nearly the same processing power. Ultrabooks are slimmer, lighter, PC based Laptops that can handle more than the netbooks that came out a couple of years ago.

 

 

Dell just came out with the XPS 13 – The Ultrabook that uses Carbon fiber instead of plastic for better cooling, lower weight and overall design

 

Make Sure to have a look at this video !

Back to Childhood with the New York Toy Fair!

Last Week one of the world’s largest toy fairs opened up its doors in the 109th  NY Toy Fair (2012), giving us a glimpse of whats about to come in the future of toys. With some of these toys I wished I was a kid again haha.

Unfortunately for us, when these toys get to Kuwait, they’re usually knock-offs from the original, and nearly all the good places that used to sell quality toys are now selling knock-off’s since people aren’t really looking for quality anymore and prices are getting higher and higher! In my case sometimes its very difficult finding a good toy. Most knock-offs are poorly made and don’t have correct age ratings and you’d find bits and pieces break off easily making it a hazard for our kids. Are there any places you’d recommend for good quality toys?

It’s all about in control when it comes to drifting .. and that’s exactly what happened at the Red Bull Drifting competition.

The event was well organized with Some hot smoky wheels !

 

It’s a mix of technique , experience + in control plus enjoying what your doing while at it
