Kuwait Suspended by FIFA

October 30, 2007

I don’t know , should i be happy or very happy about these kind of news

Regarding other items, at the request of the Associations Committee, the Kuwait Football Association has been suspended with immediate effect from all international football activities until further notice on account of government interference in the association’s affairs and for infringing its own statutes as well as for failing to comply with a decision passed by the FIFA Executive Committee

of course i would have been happier if they suspended all soccer / football in Kuwait

Bayan Fee

October 16, 2007

Whats up with that ?

i bought a DVD as a present for someone and had it shipped with DHL , now DHL is more expensive than other carriers but that was okay i was in a bit of hurry for that present
they gave me an Estimated Arrival as October 12, 2007
so i check Amazon Tracking and its says
October 11, 2007 XX:XX:00 AM KUWAIT KUWAIT Arrival Scan

funny thing ,, today DHL came to deliver it ( October 16 , 5 days after it got to Kuwait and 4 days late from estimate ) , not only late but they demanded 5 KD extra , for what ? they claim Bayan Fee and when i asked for a paper for that Bayan fee , at first they claim its the custom , and when i check the custom paper it says ? ” معفى من الرسوم ” aka Exempt , so i demand to know what is that extra 5 KD , he call someone on his mobile who claim its an extra tariff’s i tell them I’m not paying anything extra for the hell of it , its not on an official paper , its just DHL invoice that say 5kd Bayan Fee ,, i could print one at my house and say ;
20 KD Bayan Fee
40 KD Shamiya Fee
30 KD Jarah Fee

I already paid for the shipping , i’m not paying extra to get it to me ! what kind of concept these paper run on ? charge and if you can charge more ?

I can’t sleep

October 12, 2007

I was in bed since 2am but i can’t sleep
First at 2:45 its a SMS and my mobile go beep
Then its like flood of them and I’m wondering who is that freak
Who send all this at this time ? its a big heap
Not only that but they are blank ! i wanted to weep
Back to bed and nothing helping even counting sheep
Then thought of posts what to leave and what to keep
And when the ideas finally started to seep
Its time to prayers and to the bathroom i leap
Change of cloth and go start the jeep
