Where are we headed? it’s a very scary thought to see inflation go this high.. and with oil prices and gold going up we will only see inflation go higher.

Refer to my previous post about oil which was commented on by Skunk:

“these oil prices arent even good for opec countries as it is the oil price itself which is the cause of the record inflation that even opec countries are suffering from. while alot of the world’s money is coming here, alot is also going out to import stuff into this region cos nothing is made here.

so rents are higher cos it costs more money to bring in materials to build new buildings, food is higher cos of transport costs, fertiliser costs, packaging costs, etc.”

Seriously, money lately isn’t worth as much as it was worth few years back.. I still remember being able to survive a weekend on 4 or 5 KD when I was younger. now if you are lucky and you don’t spend much you will be throwing out no less than 30 or 40 KD (on a good weekend) without even buying something that you will keep.

What scares me even more that investing your money is harder now (obviously).. couple of months ago I wanted to open a fixed deposit.. and the rate they offered was 2.75% per annum for the monthly deposit! that means you are actually loosing money on your deposit..

What would your saving plan be in such a scenario? share..

UPDATE: a friend just sent me this picture.. it’s true regarding inflation

I came across an interesting most-expensive item today.. The Holly Qu’ran! this Qu’ran was sold in an auction on behalf of the Hispanic Society of America for over $2,300,000. this Qur’an is dated to 1203 CE.

Whats remarkable about this copy of the Holly Qur’an is the golden and silver writing of it. supposedly this is the oldest complete gold written Qur’an on earth now.

Where do I start? have you had the pleasure of reading a legal document? those things suck!! it’s like teaching a kid not to do something.. and make sure u tell him that himself, his friends, his cousins, his second cousins, and his nanny shouldn’t do it!

they repeat things over and over again!! I wonder why the legal system didnt stay the way Hamurrabi made it.. things were simple back then! you kill, you get killed.. and so on!

and please don’t tell me because it’s important.. i know that and i’m more than sure it’s important, it’s just pain in the ass to read and be able to stay focused when you are reading!

to understand what i’m talking about.. read this sample shareholder’s agreement

ENJOY !!

I read a really funny thing on a snapple lid the other day, and thought id share it with you ;p

Ok so that’s what a normal Snapple lid looks like.

And that’s what i saw on the other side ;p

Real funny don’t you think? ;p

How i hate that day! its nerve wrecking if u ask me. And i always end up being the fool somehow (Which worsens the day if that’s possible).

Since i know nothing about April Fools’ day reasons of existance or it’s origin, i thought about looking it up, and here’s one of the best reasons ive found :

“April Fools’ Day or All Fools’ Day, though not a holiday in its own right, is a notable day celebrated in many countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, enemies and neighbors, or sending them on fools’ errands, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible.

Some Dutch also celebrate the 1st of April for other reasons.”

I think i prefer being called poisson d’avril rather than a fool, it has a bit of charm to it

Beware people, u dont know who might be placing dead fish on your backs ;D

I figured I haven’t been driving for the past 2 months which is alot btw so I went and got my self a ticket just by riding the damn metro!

Here is what happened.. the race finished yesterday and i’m obviously very very happy because Kimi won the 2007 Formula 1 Championship so we went to have dinner and after that I took the metro back to my apartment. as soon as we got off the metro they had a check point! even here in Holland they have it !! so the guy looks at my monthly pass and it was expired (for some reason I though my pass expires on the 27th) .. so I had to pay 37.7 euros ticket for a monthly pass that only costs 33 euros and I have to go get another one which i’m not looking forward to standing in line for this stupid pass.

Lesson: metro pass expires!

This is a new specie that was found among 24 others which I found out about while reading Reuters’s website, it’s a cool and freaky at the same time!

 A study published this Friday by David Nutt ranked the top 10 most socially harmful substances.. believe it or not.. Kuwaities are again doing few of them at least:P

1. Heroin
2. Cocaine
3. Barbiturates
4. Street methadone
5. Alcohol
6. Ketamine
7. Benzodiazepines
8. Amphetamine
9. Tobacco
10. Buprenorphine

If you do one of these two or maybe more.. you might as well stop it and start smoking cannabis

Their will be a new number for the fire fighters & recuse emergencies which is 100. the reason behind moving these cases from 777 is to reduce the load on the operations room of 777 and to assure a faster response.
