Last week on my way to my cousin’s chalet on friday night. I was looking forward to a nice night after a long ass working day. so i’m driving and talking on the phone with a friend and all of a sudden this cop puts on his car flash lights and pull me over.

side note: me and the cop are going the same speed (between 120-140kmph)

So the officer comes and ask me if I know why I was pulled over and my answer was I’m sure I did something wrong but I have no idea (in my mind i’m thinking the the muffler might be loud since we were driving next to eachother).

The officer says.. Do you know how fast you were going? and I answered not sure but i’m sure it’s between 120-140 and to be fair I know that I was going the same speed as you are. (i’m pretty sure he didn’t like that :P) so he asked for my license and registration  and I gave it to him.

He disappears for around 10 minutes and comes back with his tickets book asking me if I was breaking the law and my answer was if you stopped me there has to be a reason so yes I broke the law and i’m not here to tell you what to do. (in a very polite way.. i wasn’t trying to be a smart ass).  so he ask me to sign the ticket which I did.

Now he give me the ticket and says ok.. I looked at him wondering and asked what about my license and registration sir?

“if you want your license and registration try to find them somewhere in Alahmidy.. you people break the law and expect us to forgive you?”

I looked at him and said. thanks and I will have it back soon inshalla (with an evil smile, i mean come on.. why be an ass to me when I was nothing but polite to you?)

And now in less than a week I have my documents back delivered to me.

The questions are:

1. Since when cops revoke your license and registration for speeding 140 over 120 ?? I don’t think thats reckless driving
2. Why can’t we have 100% decent humanbeings working as cops?

Also I have to thank my cousin and a friend for helping me get my docs back

Not sure if I have ever mentioned that I live in Surra, I’m a proud resident of Surra, specifically in block 4, and for more details I live on Street #13. and trust me i’m not here trying to tell you where I live for no reason. Are you people familiar with the constructions going on in Surra on the roads and side-roads??

If not, then you have to come infront of our house and see for your self the trash they leave behind them on a daily basis for the past month those unorganized ridiculous annoying pieces of shit called baladiyat el-kuwait and their contractor (excuse my French but i’m really mad!). They have been using the land in-front of our house (which is owned by someone.. definitely not govt.) to dump the demolished leftovers (with out even consulting the neighbors or letting them know)… and then transfer it to their dumpster I guess. which honestly wasn’t an issue when they do it everyday from 6am to some time in the afternoon… the annoying part is the fact that the baladiyat gave them authorization to work on weekends and even worse at night. (it’s taking me shit-load of time to write this post … I can’t concentrate because of they noise outside the house!)

This post is dedicated to our stupid Ministiry of Public Work, baladiya, and to their contractor (Borhan Constructions).

This picture is taken at 8pm on Saturday when my brother took this picture and told them that he is taking pictures for a newspaper article. (the said we’ll talk to the engineers.. and SOB7AAAAN MALEK ELQODOS … they are silent now at 8:30 :P)

Yesterday a journalist and blogger Bashar Alsayegh was arrested by the Kuwaiti Secret Police in front of their work and escorted using unwanted force to one of their facilities blindfolded. Along with Bashar; Jassin Alqames was arrested and released after a day (7imdila 3ala el-salama).

Bashar as far as I know is still imprisoned and I hope he’s ok and wish to see him back with his family ASAP.

THIS IS BAD! REALLY REALLY BAD!

For more information follow up on the updates either on Al-Jarida’s Website or Q8SWS

I guess my blog will be censored sometime in the future, they seem to be going toward that direction.

I was about to post about this story earlier today but Mr. Bored Kuwaiti decided to post it before I did, apparently he was there too! I just have to add a few more things to his story. The transsexuals didn’t only show one boob, “IT” literally flashed the whole package, and the transsexuals were touching them selves.. it was disgusting but worth the laugh

Welcome to Kuwait people!!

Yesterday, again with G and couple of friends we watched an Argentinian movie titled 9 Queens. The movie is about 2 con artists (na9abeen) who somehow come across each other at a gas station and after a while decides to work together as partners in pulling some tricks on people. so the plot really starts when they decide to to sell a fake set of stamps “the 9 queens” and some shit comes in their way.

The movie reminds me of The Usual Suspects, it’s twisted but this time it’s also funny. this is another movie that everyone should watch if you are ok with reading subtitles.

One thing I learned from this movie is not to trust any one if I ever go to Argentina.

I was with my mother today just talking about almost nothing.. random things were coming up and she notified me about this.. Which tells me how fast time is passing by!

June 18th 16 years ago was the day we came back from Bahrain to Kuwait after the Iraqi Invasion! I can remember that day so good! I remember how dark the sky was with all the smoke from the burning oil! I still remember walking in to my Grandfather’s house with my youngest brother at the age of 7 months and seeing them all there with the biggest smiles I have ever seen in my life when they saw us.. who believes it has been this long?!!

I guess i’m glad that all the bad times are over.. it gives me hope that even if we are facing anything we don’t like in Kuwait it will eventually be over .. optimistic i know … but it’s worth looking forward for

I received this SMS from a friend.

“النائب المطير: نرفض عطلة السبت و التشبه باليهود و سيكون لنل وقفه غدا”

is this guy out of his mind? what does Saturday weekend have to do with trying to imitate jews? i though the Islamic holiday is Friday which i believe is still going to be the same…

please someone tell me that this SMS is just going around for no reason and that Almutair didn’t actually say that because if he did say that I want someone to tell me what does he mean by that.

Why would a cancer patient wait 2 or 3 days for the stupid doctors to start the radiation therapy ? even though i don’t understand whats the procedure needed before the radiation, i think it’s only right to start the treatment ASAP!

A very close person to me is currently in Makki Jum’a Hospital in Alsabah because of  cancer, he/she was transferred there yesterday to start radiation therapy (which BTW was supposed to begin on wed.) and until 6pm on Sunday nothing has been done which means nothing until tomorrow… IF SO !!

I have no idea what a person should do to get people treated in Kuwait.. I mean come on, it’s cancer for god’s sake… those people should be more responsible or be forced to be!

Do u think I’m done? HELL NO!

One more thing before i shut-up.. apparently when a patient in Kuwait enters the hospital the age doesn’t make a difference (Kuwaiti hospitals doesn’t have age discrimination.. idiots).. so if you are a 90 year old with a broken leg you will received the exact same treatment as a 18 year old who can support him self better.. (and it’s always rounding down the effort needed!)

As I was checking whats on lifemood.comI found this article that explain why Almostaqilla is sueing Kuwait University. apparently the administration in KU has a distribution system for how grades are given for each class. which in no way is right, I mean how can you limit “A” grades for example to only 6% of the class?

I’m glad to see such an active group trying to look after students needs and rights. here is the document that shows the distribution of grades.

Special thanks goes to Almostaqilla for the effort, and thanks to Lifemood for the information.

Unlucky me got sick, again.. this time i was food poisoned probably from the Sushi I had on Wed. which kept me in bed/bathroom from right after work until now and for another i don’t know how long.

so when I felt that I can leave the house I went to Al-Ameri Hospital Emergency … And believe me the word emergency shouldn’t be added next Hospital! here are the greatest things about this hospital:

1. They have those number which arrange who goes in to visit the doctors, but no one follows the number.. and people are actually mad when someone goes in to the clinic when his number comes up… the look that you see on their faces “You have been here longer than me and you expect to go in before me ?!!”
2. People that wants to go in to sign a Marathya believe and truly believe that they can see the doctor because it will only take 2 minutes which means patients can wait a little longer.. What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.
3. They have 4 clinics, only 1 of them is open! at 8pm ! there were more than 20 patients waiting outside
4. The bathroom.. Now thats a classic :
   1. No toilet papers, and that includes both bathrooms; the one in the lobby of the emergency and the one at the room where I got my IV.
   2. Dirty, Disgusting, Dirty, Disgusting, Dirty, And again Disgusting!
   3. You can’t lock them! actually you can’t even shut the damn door.
5. Doctors are complaining about the management of the hospital. I wonder why!
6. The receptionist totally believes that his only job is to give out numbers for patients. “and everyone is ignoring the numbers like i said earlier!”

I admit that i got treated .. But they had hard time making the experience pleasant

Good day people
