The cars ready for fueling

Came back to Kuwait around 20:30 last night. Really quick drive on the way back from bridge to border took us 2 and a half hours then it was a 40 minute ride to Kuwait City. I am still reeling from the trip, viagra
my brain was just broken today. Going to work I missed 4 exits. The traffic and turns just got to me. I was so used to just driving straight on without any cars around for so long it took me a while to adjust to Kuwait traffic.

The The Gulf Run was a great success. There were some little problems, but everyone came thru to help each other and work it out.

Some of You May Not Know

Stuck in Souq Sharq with Mark and others. They are doing the relay torch thing and wont lets us leave. We been trapped here since 2 and it has been over an hour.

But it rained last night around 2-3am. Pretty hard in some areas, esophagitis
see thats why everything is sparkling today.

Traffic Madness!

Officially everyone is back in Kuwait now from their Eid holidays traffic today is just over the top. If people just flowed correctly and didn’t use the emergency lane!

I was thinknig of getting my camera and going to one of the bridges and take pictures of people violating the emergecy lane for their own purpose and just give it to the cops to fine them. If they can give tickets to people who speed via radar cameras I am sure they are able for this one.

Serisouly it is just disrespectful and causes more traffic on the road and there needs to be a fix.

Amazing Race Map

I am sure most of us have seen or heard about Amazing Race coming to Kuwait. I have just seen it and it is pretty entertaining to watch in terms of the competion and drama going on and it is sight seeing in Kuwait. Some of the locations I could easily pick out some other I had a general idea where they were but not exactly.

Luckily Jaunted has created a Google Map with the locations and some pictures from the episode. Once you see it in the map and imagine some of those people who got lost and were really driving around in circles! They drove all around Kuwait.

The one thing you learn from going to forums is the ability to write some bitch slapping replies. I just wrote one for business letter and couldn’t have done it with such style and prose without my troll forum training.

So Thank You Forums!

Been feeling a bit strange this past week and oddly enough I was looking for some old emails and papers and seems around the same time last year and before it was the same.

Strange wonder what causes these things around the same time every year, salve and glad that I keep dated notes on it so I can refer back to them.

Got an SMS last night needing blood donation so headed to blood bank in Jabriya. Took me like 30 minutes just to move down Tunis St. Those traffic lights are a mess and the people are idiots with their blocking traffic lights.

This is the second time I give blood, store
last time was in March 10 2005 and even then I said I would make a it a reoccuring thing.

Getting Arabic in You P990i and M600

The new Midas in Dujeej/Farwaniya is huge and very well designed and with some great stuff. Really a sight to see.

Barrack and other Sony Ericsson retailers in Kuwait are currently charging 10kd for bad Arabic support on your P990i and M600 phones, prosthetic when all they are doing it copying over some Window fonts and that you can do it at home for FREE.

So after reading this post change the system font for P990/M600 to find out where to place the fonts folder in the memory card like how it was on UIQ2/P910i.

You just take took the Tahoma.ttf font from Windows Fonts directory (or just search for tahoma.ttg) and copy it 4 times and then rename each file to:

Sans-Serif_Latin-Regular.TTF
Sans-Serif_Latin-Italic.TTF
Sans-Serif_Latin-BoldItalic.TTF
Sans-Serif_Latin-Bold.TTF

Then placed them in your memory card under the directory of Resource/Fonts (You may have to create it).

Restart

Tada

This will give you the ability to read Arabic. The only problem is that you lose Bold and Italic font styles and the font is bigger in the system.

It isn’t a perfect fix, but a quick one till I can find a font that has the 4 font styles and Arabic structure in it.

This trip is a vacation of sorts to get a change of scenery and relax and I can’t sleep. It is odd. I am in a good bed, cure went to bed reasonably late last night and I was up at 7 with around 4-5 hours of sleep and this is after spending all day out and about starting from 8:30.

I guess there is that feeling of just comfort and really I can’t explain how relaxing it feels to be here, yet you also have this urge to go visit and explore around Bahrain. It really is a great country the little corner we been seeing and experiencing. Stallion and I both agree that it is so much better than Dubai. There is this sense of expansion and development but it feels natural, you can see it and feel it even with the people here. They just seem more comfortable in their own city compared to the feeling of Dubai’s hustle and bustle.

Mahmood was great enough to take us on a tour of Bahrain yesterday giving us and showing us a more personal view of Bahrain. Took us to the BIC which is an amazing place, I really didnt expect it to be that big or that well designed. I always saw snippets and more personal pictures, but being there is really a sight to see. I can’t wait to go there again and race.

Yes, race. I got to see the Caterham (the H is silent) here in Bahrain and meet with the owner who was a friend of Mahmood and and get in the car and learn more about its history and the racing team they have in Bahrain. They have races with Caterham in Bahrain and its a long fun tournament and really plan to attend and get my way around the track. I figure this way I can get a feel for the car before I get it and really understand it.

Oh the tiredness, resuscitator we arrived home around 10 last night. It was a much easier drive back cause the Saudi borders wasn’t as crowded as the way there. That is what is the kiler on these road trips waiting at the border for you turn in line and then its the customs check.

Like Bahrain, the guy was asking me if I had any knives or daggers with me, and was quesitoning why we had cameras and tripod with us. I explained to him we are “tourists” we are visiting and going to take pictures and such. Yet that question about knives and daggers really put me off.

Then you have Saudi where its just a mess. You got 4 lanes of cars coming from passport control going to this one line for customs check and thats where the mess happens. You wait and wait for your turn and then get stuck behind a car that will take forever.

Kuwait on the other hand is a dream. It took us 5 minutes to do passports and customs! It was great. It is the icing in the cake after that long drive and getting that service!

This morning I woke up like ussualy at 7am feeling totally fine in my brain and upper body, then my legs protested. They were in throbbing pain and weren’t ready to move. After 4+ hours of driving I know how those cosmonauts felt when they return from long trips around the Earth away from gravity.

The trip was great, I have a post in draft from yesterday about some stuff, will post more about the trip and the Bahrain bloggers oon.

I been having this crazy craving for black coffee even since I been back from Bahrain. It is really strange. It really been bothering my brain and functions. It started on Saturday morning with just a little tinge when I saw the coffee pot at home. I was thinking “oh I’ll take a thermos cup of it with me so I can drink on the way to work”. Then of course I totally forgot with the push and rush to get to work and decided to brew me a pot when I get to work, prescription and of course work takes over and I totally forget. Which led me to feel really angst and really out of it.

Then Sunday it started the same thing with me totally forgetting to get a cup when leaving to work and not making one at work, but I did go to Coffee Bean and get a mocha latte there, but that really didn’t work. It quieted the urge a bit, but didn’t quiet hit it.

This led to an icky headache that lasted most of the day, even with the Casper’s X-Presso Yourself in the afternoon didn’t even get close to that craving, and just made my head ache almost worse.

Even now at 2am I am thinking about it, my mouth is even salivating at the thought of it. I know if I go down to the kitchen and brew me a pot I might as well just shoot myself in the head rather than turn to a zombie tomorrow. Also it isn’t what I want. The more I been thinking about it the more I been wanting a certain type of coffee. It has to be either from the airport Cinnabon with their Seattle Best Coffee, or from Johnny Rockets.

Luckily my schedule tomorrow will have in Salmiya area where I can my coffee fix.

I have issues with bluetooth headsets. I really do enjoy them when I am in the car or at work for it really great to have your hands free to drive, surgery
and write notes respectively. Yet my main issue with them is I really hate wearing my headset when I am walking around or with people and it is not in use. It feels awkward and also in my opinion rude and ugly. The only options for it is to either use one of those necklace type holders or put it in your pocket, no rx
which makes it cumbersome to remove and well use.

Well I have a solution, a watch type system. Basically you have this bracelet that allows for the bluetooth headset to remain in an area for quick access and some headsets have a screen on them to show you who is calling so you can even get that information from it. One other feature is that it can also function as a watch.

This way you can simply wear it around your wrist as a watch and as soon as you receive a call you just remove it and place it in your ear then when done return it.
