U know u're from Kuwait when...
u have sudden urges for chay 7aleeb
u dip darabeel into your chay 7aleeb
u've either just gotten back from london or are planning your next trip there
u automatically know how to answer "garrat 3einek / matshoof shar / akramkallah / 3ash men shafek....
u think all arab countries are jealous of kuwait
u step on the gas when the traffic light turns yellow
u treat speed cameras like speed bumps
u have more cars than people in your household
u have more cell phones than people in your household
u say gems, biook, tyoota, renge instead of GMC, buick, toyota, range rover
u know what TK and KKMM mean
the words 3adi, ay shay, yabeela often come up in your conversations
u can name 5 areas which start with "6'a7iat..."
u say bu7amdoon and burummana instead of b7amdoon and brummana
someone in your family has the same first name as his last name - however absurd the last name may be
u complain about wasta but use it when u have the chance
u still refer to the J.W. Marriot as the Meridien
u think pwc's new name is absurd
u criticize kuwait all the time but have a hard time accepting criticism about it from others
u always complain about kuwait but deep down inside, u know u love it
... i know this applies to many of the non-kuwaiti folks living in kuwait too ;)

You're somewhat addicted to the internet - but who isn't? You can keep it under check, and you're by no means a hermit. |

Word ?
Example Citation:
by Rajeev Bajaj, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur:
"Hot electrons can ruin my day
Switch the transistor to go the other way
I make my software self-healing
To prevent such a calamity from dealing
A deadly blow to my directory root
If all else fails...... YO, REBOOT!"
um.. are they for real ?

According to Chris Hughes, spokesman for Facebook, "People spend an average of 19 minutes a day on Facebook."In a 2006 study conducted by Student Monitor (...), Facebook was named as the second most "in" thing among undergraduates, tied with beer and sex and losing only to the iPod.
apparently, it started as a university networking tool by some harvard student; for fun, here's his picture.
i'm not on facebook, but i do have an ipod :)
not planning to get on it, but never say never...
* btw a friend of mine used it as a verb today - as in "facebook it"

Blind date
i think if someone wants to introduce 2 people to each other, they ought to invite them both to the same dinner / function and see if they hit it off. it seems more natural this way.
Music Producer
Reminded me of a software I had, Used to love it, make loads of cool tracks, I think it was called Fruity loops.

Important Message.....
Showtime has revamped, they sucked before and managed to fuck it up some more..... CONGRATS
- Only one Comedy Channel and they only kept the crappy sitcoms.
- Three Series Channels.
- Eight Movie Channels, I bet they all play movies from the 60's, just like before.
and I couldn't care less about the rest.
Someone should give them a wake-up call, I know I'm canceling my account soon.
I love Thai food
there's a new thai restaurant called Ginger which opened in Muthanna complex recently. I will go try it as soon as i get a chance. i'll order some pad thai. hmmmmmmm
the only reservation i have about this place is that it's a vegetarian restaurant but oh well, maybe it's good to go there if u want to eat 'light.'

Nick Cage on CRACK
In this movie Johnny Blaze the main character in the movie turns into a flaming skeleton when he's around evil souls, COME ONNNNNN, couldn't the writer think on a better plot, my 8 year old cousin can think of better stories.
I'm getting frustrated talking about it, so I will stop here and hope Nick Cage's career goes down the drain.
What men really mean
I'm a Romantic = I'm poor
I need you" = My hand is tired
I am different from all the other guys = I am not circumcised
I want a commitment = I'm sick of masturbation
You're the only girl I've ever cared about = You are the only girl who hasn't rejected me
I really want to get to know you better = So I can tell my friends about it
It's just orange juice, try it = 3 more shots, and she'll have her legs around my head
She's kinda cute = I want to have sex with her till I am blue
I don't know if I like her = She won't sleep with me
I miss you so much = I am so horny that my male roommate is starting to look good
Was it good for you? = I'm insecure about my manhood
How do I compare with all your other boyfriends? = Is my penis really that small
I had a wonderful time last night = Who the hell are you
Do you love me? = I've done something stupid and you might find out
Do you 'really' love me? = I've done something stupid and you're going to find out sooner or later
How much do you love me? = I've done something really stupid and someones on his/her way to tell you about it now
I have something to tell you = Get tested
I'll give you a call = I'd rather have my nipples torn off by wild dogs than see you again
I've been thinking a lot = You're not as attractive as when I was drunk
I think we should just be friends = You're ugly
I've learned a lot from you = Next
Shalom

Starbucks order
The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the asshole. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande, half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one sweet-n'-low, and one nutrasweet," ooh, you're a huge asshole.
hehe do u think it's true ?

Prison vs Work
At work you spend most of your time in a 6X8 cubicle.
In prison you get three meals a day (free).
At Work you only get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it yourself.
In prison you get time off for good behavior.
At work you you get rewarded for good behavior with more WORK.
In prison a guard locks and unlocks the doors for you.
At work you must carry around a security card and unlock open all the doors yourself.
In prison you can watch tv and play games.
At work you get fired for watching TV and playing games.
In prison you get your own toilet.
At work you have to share.
I prison all expenses are paid by taxpayers with no work at all.
At work You get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for the prisoners.
Humm? Which Sounds Better?
So what are you waiting for???
Kill your Manager...
