This morning it was a little weird to have so much traffic on the 7th Ring Road, as I got closer, this is what was there. The other sad thing was that the truck was filled with gravel which was all over the road making your traction control system go crazy due to the lack of friction, i’m sure some cars will be stuck. It was also unfortunate to see how inpatient people were, most of them were causing so much delay because 1/2 of them got on the emergency lanes and that wasn’t enough, people were trying to bypass them from the left by driving on the sand!

Seems like quite a cool sequel to the previous MI series. I like the “Your mission should you choose to accept it” phrase 😛
Going to arrive at Cinescape Kuwait on the 15th of December!
Its been a long time since i’ve been to the movies, i think it’ll be a good comeback for me 😀
Summary from IMDB: The IMF is shut down when it’s implicated in the bombing of the Kremlin, causing Ethan Hunt and his new team to go rogue to clear their organization’s name.

Raffles Hotel Dubai – I Love you :)
One of the most comfortable most luxurious hotels i’ve been in lately and I loved every bit of it! My main concern was to find a room that was big in size, I hate small rooms they make me feel as if i’m paying only for a bed. I like having a separate seeting area, the feeling of open spaces. I found that in Raffles Dubai!
[shashin type=”photo” id=”6340,6339,6353,6352,6347,6346″ size=”small” columns=”3″ order=”user” position=”center”]Unfortunately I lost all my photos after i accidently erased everything on my iPhone by syncing it to my other computer, however, i managed to find a few photos that my wife took of the room. You should try raffles honestly you wont regret it!
[shashin type=”photo” id=”6343,6341,6344″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”]For the price I paid the room (i used booking.com) it was one of the biggest rooms for the similar price of many other rooms in 5 Star hotels. I loved the lobby their huge decor (sorry again I don’t have pics with me :/), you get your own butler, everyone that works there knows your name. Its was an excellent stay. I usually like to experiment different hotels but I loved raffles, i’m definitely going there again!
A night before our trip, raffles called me up verifying my reservations, and I requested a bouquet of some specific flowers (Casablanca Lilies) that my wife likes, and a note, she was very pleased when she saw it in the room (they also give out a sweet fragrance and it smelled really good throughout for 3 night stay) and she never expected it!
Joined to Wafi mall, you also have an opportunity to go shopping around without having to really get that far away from the hotel, its a nice quiet mall with loads of shops. Free valet parking was also a plus as well as complimentary high speed wireless internet which I managed to connect all my iDevices on! I loved it I totally loved raffles dubai!

Just outside the window you have a balcony with two laid back chairs and a view of the garden on the third floor as well as a number of nice buildings in the horizon. You get a 40″ TV in the room which you can hook up to your hdmi connector, a small office which I loved (i wished I had some work that I had to do, the office chair was comfy too :P). You also can hook up your ipod/iphone to a small BOSE sound system/radio to listen to your favorite tunes. We needed a break and raffles absolutely gave us that!

Airline Makes Passengers Pay for Fuel During the Flight !
What are your comments on this video from CNN??

Good Time To Buy the Xbox Kinect (42 KWD!)
I’ve been holding off for a while buying the Xbox Kinect, since I also have to upgrade my Storage ( I have the 4Gb Xbox Slim). I passed by Alghnim X-Cite AlRai last Saturday and when looking around I spotted the Kinect’s offer at 42 KWD! 10 KD cheaper than it used to be and made me feel the price is just about right so i got it!
Which games do you recommend ?
I got Dance Central, Joy Ride and it came with Xbox Adventures which wasn’t so bad.
Only in Abdaly Co-Op :P
Its really abnormal to see this sign, but then again, who’d expect to find cat and dog food in the furthest coop up north of Kuwait ?
For those of you who don’t know where the Abdaly Co-op is check out the following map :
