The twitter addiction

Jun 12th, 2009 by Weld El-ma6aba | 5

twitterLately I have been on twitter all the time… and I have to blame it on BLaSha and Alsubaih! but seriously.. what the hell is with twitter? you don’t get it unless you use it for a while and then it just becomes a second nature that you update your status and bitch about thing that annoys you. 

All I have to say is everyone should be on twitter!

10 Items or Less

10_items_or_less_1

10 Items or less, Another show that I watched season 1 of.. it’s easy watching.. not the kind of show that I can watch over and over like scrubs or the big bang theory but it’s ok to watch.. I would give it 2.5-3 out of 5 if i really have to rate it.

The show is about this grocery store which is inherited by the son of the founder and now is being managed by him (he reminds me Michael Scott from the office). it’s all about how they are struggling to keep the shop open and not screw up.

I plan to finish the rest of the seasons as each season is between 5-8 episodes.. there are 3 seasons so far.

Bushido – Bahrain

Jun 8th, 2009 by Weld El-Ma6aba | 3

bushido

Bushido is the new IT place in Bahrain since it opened couple of months ago, It’s a Japanese restaurant with a lounge in the second floor.. so lets talk about it

Restaurant:

Their starters are as good as any other good Japanese restaurant so I wouldn’t be expecting anything special there, yet it’s good. the sushi I thought was below average. their main course though was pretty amazing, I tried ther rip-eye teppanyaki and it was delicious!

The lounge:

remind me of Buddha bar (hence the rumour that Bushido is a Buddha bar replica, it’s not though) the atmosphere is amazing but the service was bad the first time I was there. Yet I think it was better the second time around.

definitely worth seeing.. for the atmosphere at least.

located in Seef district by the Ritz apartments

My review of the 2005 Carrera Convertible

Jun 3rd, 2009 by Weld El-Ma6aba | 2

2005_carrera_convertible

My car was a the shop for a week or so, and HJ gave me his car to use for the time being.. and after driving it I would like to share my opinion on it.

Pros:

  • Fuel consumption is really good.
  • Car looks amazing.
  • High speed handling is great!
  • Sound system is good.
  • Acceleration is good.
  • Cornering is near perfect.
  • Takes some guts to get it out of traction.
  • Breaking is great. (from a previous experience)

Cons:

  • Convertible (HJ wouldn’t agree with me obviously)
  • Air sound is noticeable at high speed.
  • Automatic transmission (not a fan of the tiptronic they have and the way it shifts)

Things I would have changed if I am buying a Carrera would be:

  • Make it coupe instead of a convertible
  • Manual transmission.

New in town

new_in_town_1

Few days ago we watched New In Town on DVD. the movie was ok in my opinion, had some funny stuff (I guess too romantic for my taste). I loved the accent, it was amazing :P

The movie is about am executive that was sent to a factory own by her company to restructure it and ended up closing it up making the town out of jobs, soon after that she decided that was wrong and managed to help the town… and of course while she was there she falls in love (the too romantic for my taste part).

Za7ma wela La – Bahrain Bridge Status

This is a great website for people who uses the King Fahad Causeway often. it has a live update of the traffic status on the bridge for both ways. I can’t say how accurate is it because I haven’t compared it to real time and I’m not a frequent traveller on this route.
