6alabat Scratch and Win
I Was ordering my self some dinner the other day via 6alabat and I found that they are having this on the way of check out!
Is it time for a new Gadget ?
It’s been 6 months since I got my iPhone and about 2 years since I bought my last laptop. I’ve been looking around for a blackberry – got to admit the BBM is awesome! – but I am not that socially addicted to it nor Wataniya supports it yet.
Maybe it’s time for a new iMac ? My screen has a line of dead pink pixels, otherwise the machine works fine for my regular torrenting and web browsing, nothing hard core is here.
Another idea is to get a big ass screen and hook it up to mac mini.
I am going to be relocated to KSA for post-graduate studies for the next 5 years inshalla, and I am in the market for a good GPS device. I’ve seen some Garmin devices in Al Ghanim but I found the respsonsive one has onely the EU maps and the Arabic enabled one is soo laggy and slow.
Any idea? I am confused!
YouTube Ads!
tag 2.0 youtube, originally uploaded by urbrockz.
I am not a regular visitor of YouTube as my internet connection sucks and I hate pausing so many time to load a 5min clip of sillyness on the site.
However, I subscribe to iJustine videocast and I check it on my google reader every so often. In each time a freaken KHETBA ad pops up on the video alternating with DEKAANI site.
Both sites sucks major monkey balls.
Guess what? Both sites share the same billing address
+1.4252740657
Fax: +1.4256960234
PMB 368, 14150 NE 20th St – F1
Bellevue, WA 98007

I wonder if this way of advertising would get you any revenue even though your site is total crap from inside out. ?
On Line Life in Kuwait
- Image via Wikipedia
Now this is my 9 month in Kuwait after spending few years abroad. Up until now I’ve managed to use few kuwaiti online stores that made my life much easier.
www.Fendeq.com which I reviewed earlier in the blog is one of the sites i’ve used recently. I was planning to head to KSA for the weekend and decided to book the ticket via expedia as usual. I couldn’t find a hotel booking at that time at Radison SAS, thankfully fendeq.com was on my mind and the room was available with no problem at all.
www.taw9eel.com is the other site I used last Friday. The good thing that it delivered the goods in 30 min without the need to call me and confirm the address. The bad thing is I couldn’t find Dr Pepper on their site!
www.6alabat.com This is the 3rd or 4th time i use the site. It takes ages to deliver the meal and most of the restaurants listed are “Trendy” restaurants for sushi and stuff. I managed to order Chelow Kabab for dinner from Shater Abbas.
www.clicknbuy.com.kw I only use this site to compare prices. I didn’t buy anything from their yet.
The site is under construction!
What other Kuwaiti online stores you used recently and how was the services ?

Lebanon Feb.
I have managed to get away during the national holidays last Feb. to Beirut for 5 days. The last time I’ve been their was 9 years ago and it was during summer.
You have to stay in a good hotel, have a taxi rented for the whole day, and enjoy food whenever you can! I was with two of my friend whom I describe as professional eaters. They have no problem traveling for 2 hours in the insane traffic to enjoy a restaurant they heard a good review about it from a traveling forum on the net.
I arrived one day earlier than they did as I wanted to check our apartment in the mountain and pay some old bills – $1000 :/ – and came back to Beirut stayed in a crappy hotel but with a nice view on Al Manara. Explored a bit to find out Starbucks 30 min walking distance away. The next days the guys came to me and we went to Four points. Pretty decent hotel but a small lobby. The highlight of our trip was Faraya ski resorts where we found hundreds of Kuwaitis and Saudis filling the place. It was fun thou and we ended up being introduced to the concept of ski tan !
Looking forward to visit Lebanon again this summer.
