I’m the last person to be talking about politics as many of you have noticed, but this video is pretty damn funny!

I received an email from an reader today about IKEA’s 25th anniversary in Kuwait, and this is part of it:

In the month of April this year, IKEA, Kuwait’s first ‘Super Brand’ celebrated its twenty fifth anniversary. The celebration consisted of a plethora of events organized over a span of 25 days; the culmination of which was a grand celebration on the 24th of April.Creativity has always been IKEA’s unique selling point, and this occasion was to be no exception.

We are The Eth, a team of two young, talented and smart individuals who both have media and art-based backgrounds and an ever-burning passion for creativity.  With an eye for beauty in design, and sturdy resources, we feel like the sky is our limit! When we learned of IKEA’s 25th celebration our mind started to bubble over with ideas of how we would love to contribute to the celebration.

We approached the Marketing Manager, Mr. Waqar Bhutta with an idea of building a mural designed exquisitely for IKEA and decided to make it out of IKEA’s damaged and waste products. Since the core idea in building the mural was redesigning waste material into something significant and beautiful; we decided to follow a “Junk Art” theme. We set about making the mural with the support of our diversified, artistic and technically brilliant team and the backing of Midnite Hooters.

However, a glorious occasion of this kind needs a fitting commemoration!

Therefore we decided to pay tribute to IKEA’s journey in Kuwait by designing 25 important iconic symbols from its history here. 25 pieces were crafted using the waste, to depict a story of how IKEA started from Sweden and traveled into Kuwait and into the hearts of its people.  But this mural needed to be unique and special – as special as the occasion it was to be displayed in. that’s when the idea of the optical illusion came to us.
The mural was designed in a way that it appeared to be a normal exhibit of a set of elements supported on wooden stands; but as one walked 25 steps away from it the stands would overlap each other and a giant “25” would come into view!

Congratulations to IKEA for a successful 25 years in kuwait and to making our live much better with their furniture and accessories.

Stop by IKEA, buy something, and take a look at this beautiful mural.

note: thanks Mansha for contacting me and letting me know about this :)

I was reading Marzouq’s blog zDistrict when I read this post about the article in KuwaitTimes… and I totally disagree with the article. I once wrote about the definition of a blog in a previous post which specifically mentioned that it’s a personal diary.. yes blogs can be for a specific purposes but that’s not why they were created in the first place.

a part from the previous post:

An online diary where people can post messages and others may view and respond to the posts.

Blogs have been a great addition to this society for many reasons such as ..

1. you see different point of views on political, social, controversial issues and many more.
2. you hear about events, news, and breaking news through blogs.
3. the replace therapy (people vent … and they get feedback)
4. it’s a social network.. it connects people to the world around them.
5. blogs bring out talents people.

Spread the word.. she deserve it ;)

thanks for the video Saud.

Thanks HJ for the email

after seeing this video I can tell definitely say will never for any reason buy those birds.

نحن نستمتع بقراءة كل ردودكم و تعليقاتكم، تقريباً، ولا نمانع انتقاداتكم. لكن اللجوء إلى التهجم والتهديدات الشخصية.. فهذا أمر لا نقبله. ونود أن نلفت إنتباه من إعتقد أن بإمكانه التحكم بمانكتب ومالا نكتب بأنه شخص غير واقعي. التدوين شيء جديد على البعض لكنه جميل. نرجو أن يبقى كذلك

the event was very well organized, alot of participants, nice cars, good service, friendly people.. the whole deal basically.

I feel awful to hear that a Porsche gt2 got into an accident yesterday, and feeling even worse to see a Nissan GTR getting into an awful accident today.

the highlight of the even for me was the car below.. it’s my fav. and don’t get me wrong.. the cars I saw today were out of this world !! :P (but u can guess why)

I won’t get into the details of this crazy and inhumane story as it’s covered by most of the news websites and channels such as CNN and BBC.

What I want to mention is that 8 of the hostages are from Kuwait. your prayers for them please. T

he good thing is that these hostages apparently have been treated well and were given the chance to contact their family and assure them that things are “ok”.
