I was booking for a movie online and this message popped on my screen, it simply means that we don’t need to take our bank cards to the cinema to collect the tickets but intead they will provide you with a number to collect them with. 

This is good because on many occasions I wanted to book tickets for friends/relatives using my card but it wasn’t possible because they need my card to collect them, also sometimes I had to swipe my card several times to get access.

Lexus is one of the favorite auto brands in Kuwait, especially the GS model, I saw that Al Sayer Group have launched the new generation of the GS 2012 at 360 Mall. It looked nicer thean the previous model, the engine was also improved.

There are four types (GS250, GS350,Hybrid, F sport edition) based on engine capacity, they said the price starts at KD14,350 to KD20,900. For full specs, read my previous post here

 

Do you think Kuwaiti girls are good drivers? My quick guess is that many still think that girls are bad drivers but time has changed fellas! Meet the Kuwaiti girls Road Rush team that will compete at Bahrain International Circuit with some of the hottest super cars on the 9th and 10th of this month.

Some of their supercars include Ferrari F99, Porsche Turbo, Nissan GTR, BMW M3, Dodge Viper and others. I wish I had the chance to attend the race and provide coverage and support but I think its ladies-only-event!

Good luck ladies!

If you ask me about the thing we missed on our National Day I’d immediately say fireworks! If you noticed there isn’t any major fireworks shows in Kuwait except the one that was done near Kuwait towers in 2011 for the 50th Jubilee celebrations.

Luckily Kuwait Fund has celebrated their 50th anniversary with spectacular fireworks show that we can enjoy seeing, I bet they look more fun in real!

One of the great events that I enjoy is to attend the Japan Film Festival which is organized in association with Japanese Embassy in Kuwait.  I’m sure animation lovers will love to attend this event bearing in mind that admission is free.

Where: Cinescape Laila

When: Sunday, 11th of March at 4:00 pm & 6:30pm

Movies: Wanko & Quartette

I see that they have released the behind the scenes video for the flashmob that occurred at the Avenues mall, see how hard they worked to give you the result that everyone talked about and loved.

I was at Al Ghanim showroom this afternoon and I saw that the new 2012 BMW 3-Series has just arrived, it looked bigger outside and spacious and sexier than the previous generation.

I asked about the price and was told that the 4-cyclinder model starts at K.D 12,900, I recall the 3-Series was my first ever car and loved it, can’t wait for the coupe model.

I saw some good bike riders in Kuwait but this one is like no one else, Mashallah, just seeing how he’s so skillful made me recall the old time movie Mad Max.

Note: Don’t try this on the streets please.

This is another amazing 3D projection show that was made on Kuwait Fund building in Kuwait City during National Day, I’m loving this new technology big time.

Sadly most of us didn’t know about such event !

Farewell Virgin!

Only 60 minutes separate Kuwait national football team in its crucuial game against South Korea in World Cup 2014 qualifications, its either in or out!

I wanted to support our team so I’m currently wearing Kuwait National Football team jersey that I found at Soccer Scene store at the Avenues mall for 5 K.D. Match will be aired at 3:00 pm (Kuwait time) on Al Jazeera Sport +1, Kuwait Channel 3 Sports, and Abu Dhabi Sports.

Update: Hard luck to our national football team for losing 2-0 to South Korea.

I saw this video on Youtube for Japanese girl singing Kuwait National Anthem, isn’t it cute?

I overheard that BoConcept at Marina Mall is closing down from our friends 360Dewan, I was at Marina Mall this afternoon and after asking the salesman he confirmed that they will close in two days.

They are running 50% clearance sale until tomorrow, so Virgin first and now BoConcept, wonder what’s next?

I can see that 360 Mall has opened a new parking area nearby the gas station for a few weeks now, that’s especially helpful on weekends! at least now I won’t miss the first 15 minutes of the movies looking for parking space anymore.
