Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Joyous Kwaanzaa!
To each and everyone of you who celebrates these holidays I wish you a merry time and may all your hopes, wishes, and dreams come true!
I personally had a lovely holiday lunch on Christmas Eve (although I am a Muslim) my family just loves the amazing food that the joyous holiday brings! We had an awesome amazing spread which I feasted upon!
After that lunch I was insanely full! But you have to admit that it was absolutely DELICIOUS!
I miss talking about my life, and I think the reason I have become just so damn lazy in terms of blogging is that all the posts are similar to what is available in the market (aka the blogosphere). So today I will take a break from all of that and talk about what happened to me yesterday one of the funniest days of this year.
I woke up a bit late in the day because I had a movie date with my Aunt, cousins and we were going to 360 to watch the release of “Horrid Henry” it was a lovely movie. I really really had fun and enjoyed the movie. In short, the kids movie basically tells the story of Horrid Henry and his friends and their mission was to save their school ‘Ashton Elementary School’ from closing down. But it’s not all peachy and dandy because Henry is horrid and he is the reason that the school was closing down. If you are looking for something funny to watch and kids-suitable then be sure to book your ticket today.
Anywho, afterwards I ran off to work (yes I work on Saturdays ‘sometimes’) and prepared my awesomely insane Technology page for “” check it out in my next post and be sure to give me pointers here and there :D
I finished work and headed back to Auntie’s house where Lujain was and sat and had a nice chat with the cousins Toons and Issous, during which Issous became insane! Listen up this is the part of the story you’ve been promised!

You see I was showing my Aunt how to use Siri, and Issous saw it as a chance to jump on me to try and kidnap Siri and abuse it! The problem is I don’t like kids touching my gadgets because of their greasy fingers! Yes Issous you have dirty fingers! So I kept trying to snatch it away which got us into the battle of the tickles. Issous jumped on my back and started doing this annoying thing with his jaw where he opens and closes it on my shoulder which mimics the tickling feature and I started giggling like a 2 year old. I tried to shake him off but to no success he was stuck on me like a little monkey. Next he started tickling my sides, I dropped him on the couch and squeezed him and tickled him but apparently that 6 year old boy is stronger than I am and he went back to being the dominant one in the tickling war. I tried to run away but was stuck on me, eventually he held me down in the middle of the room and tickled me until I was literally about to cry! I was able to run away and go home but that tickling fest broke me down hehe :D
Later on that evening, said that this was the first time she knew I was ticklish and the first time she saw me laugh like this hehe I guess I need to laugh more, and with that I end this adventure with one of my crazy cousins.
Hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing about it!
P.S. That photo up there was taken by the iPhone 4S with no editing done on the picture except the photoshopping of the phone :P
On August the 3rd my family welcomed a new addition in regards to the cousin rankings. I hope that made sense, to put it in very simple terms, “I gots me a new cousin y’all!”
My youngest Uncle and his wife welcomed a baby boy who is brother to their eldest daughter Lulwa. The boy was named Salman and he is absolutely adorable! I love that the day I saw him he was wearing the monkey pajamas I got for him from the US!
Can’t wait to see this one growing up! Welcome home Salman!
I had a dream last night it was crazy insane I don’t really think that it qualifies as a dream because of its insanity!
I remember dreaming about my family having a cat (P.S. We used to have 2 cats back in the 90s but because my sister was allergic we had to let them go and then they ran away). Anyways back to the dream.
In my dream, I saw our cat (which is adorably cute but menacingly evil!) playing with the Playstation 2 that we had in the living room. (Normally you would find doing that, so I am not sure if the cat was in fact Lujain or a pet cat). Anyways I saw the cat playing the PS2 I got up to see the cat but it ran away and left me the controls.
I tried to play the game but I lost whereas the cat was winning.
How messed up is that dream?
P.S. If the cat was playing Driver 3 then it would in fact be tricking me that she is a cat. We all know how crazy gets sometimes right?
I can’t really take the time off from my day of walking around the city to sit and write about my adventures but sometimes I just feel that I have to! Because what I’ve done these past few days was awesome! I will tell you guys more but let me summarize my New York stay in just a few words right now and also include my gadget shopping spree I went on!
New York (I Love YOU!)
May 1st- I got in and later that evening I went to see an Off-Broadway Musical called “Avenue Q” it was amazing! A Parody Puppet show telling us that life isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be hehe but we should make it work for ourselves! Awesome I had tons of fun!
May 2nd- Went to a Broadway Show called “Priscilla Queen of the Desert” for those of you old enough to know the movie which is quite old, it’s a show about 3 drag queens in Australia taking their show from Sydney to Alice, Australia so that “Tick” can finally meet his son. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT! It was simply amazing! The costumes, the music, the insane-ness of it all! It was a diva show and I just absolutely adored it! I would definitely recommend you all to check it out! If you don’t feel like jumping out of your seat to sing along with them then you don’t have a musical heart in you!
May 3rd- *aka yesterday!* I went to see a live-taping of *wait for it* “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” and OMFG it was amazing! The guests of the night were Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Hudson, and ELMO! I had an insane time! I will definitely tell you more later on in an individual post but I just had to put this out there! It was simply amazing and I love ELMO! He gave us all free DVDs to take home with us! I am going to cherish it for life! The Roots (the band) were there as well and I just simply love them! *sigh* I want to see more Jimmy!
That’s my amazing life so far in New York it’s simply insane and I love it! I wish I could spend more time here but by then I’ll be insanely flat broke and that can’t happen!
Now onto the next topic, I’ve acquired lots of cool gadgets on this trip but some of the things I’d like to mention are:
- A brand new sparkling MacBook Pro 17″ with a 2.2Ghz Quadcore i7 Processor, 8GB of RAM, 750GB HDD, and an Anti-Glare Hi-Resolution screen which is absolutely awesome!
- A brand new Black iPad 2 3G & Wifi 64GB (which took me a week to track down! Now they are available at the Apple Store in Fifth Avenue)
- A Blackberry Playbook 16GB Wifi Only Model
And those are only some of the cool things I’ve got well I guess these were my biggest purchases! I am just insanely in love with the US and wish I could move and live here but then again I would be broke all the time! I would live in the Apple Store, trust me I would! I love you sisters and parents! Thanks for this awesome time! I have a few more days left until then I will come back with some awesome posts but at the moment I just want to enjoy my insane time!
I miss my sisters: , , and (aka Knee) (aka aka Sister #4) it’s been a while since they’ve been back, Dee was back during the Winter Break for only 3 weeks (which is short) but the other 2, I last saw them in August/September of last year and they might be coming back later on in July I believe :/
I was looking at the pictures of the P2BK posts that bloggers have been posting and I remembered the time I went with my sister Fee (it was a fun time!) and it got me thinking how much I miss hanging out with her.
I know I have Lujain here and things should be awesome but there is an 18 year difference between us. I miss Nee’s commentary on the TV Shows we watch! I would just look across our shared desk at home and we’d discuss the latest One Tree Hill dilemma, swoon over Blair and Chuck in Gossip Girl, drool over Damon & Stefan from Vampire Diaries, and so much more. I miss Dee and her diva-ness, she really is sometimes full of herself but in a good way hehe and is up for anything (she is also the one who I’m depending on to get me the iPad 2′s!)
I just miss walking into any one of their rooms and having a late-night chat about anything and everything, whether its in their bedroom or sometimes the occasional bathroom conversation hehe.
Come back already idiots! Come back! Finish your studying and come back!
P.S. In the meantime I have Auntie as my big sister, as my almost near twin sister, as my closer twin sister, and as my younger sister, and Lily as my baby sister. Although and Lily are abroad I still have the others I love you all!
On the 17th of December my Aunt travelled to the States and I was supposed to be on that flight but unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances I wasn’t able to take time off and go there! Her kids were staying home with their father since he was in a recent motorbike accident and well he couldn’t travel. Therefore, before she travelled we had all agreed that we would get together on that day and have a camp out in the yard.
So around 6 in the evening Lujain, my father and I headed over to my Aunt’s place to find that they had already set up the tents, and the BBQ and were already eating. I sat there with my plate of BBQ-ed food it was delicious we had burgers, hotdogs, and chicken legs & wings!
So it’s that time of the year! has posted up his “” Competition sponsored by Zain Kuwait and my little sister Lujain is in the run! Be sure to go ahead and check it out!
Oh and let’s not forget to vote for the cutest one out there, my bestest little friend Lujain!

On the 10th of December we were invited by a family friend to go see a Pantomime being held at Kuwait Little Theatre in Ahmadi, every year they have pantomimes around the holidays and my little cousins go with their aunt. It was my first time to go see the Pantomime and I went with my little sister, cousins, and their aunt and cousins. It was awesome, I really liked it. It was sort of like an interactive play where the actors interact with the audience sometimes and I loved it!
My ultimate favorite character was “TomTom” played by Tim Wadell. He was simply amazing as was the rest of the cast.
The story of “Babes in the Wood” basically is a mixture of Robin Hood and a sort of Cinderella type of story. There was a little boy and girl (brother and sister) who were living with their evil Stepmother, their father was a business man travelling all the time however he was lost for a while and so the stepmother took over. The stepmother was so evil she tried to have them killed off, however the thieves she hired weren’t that great since the evil Sheriff picked out two of the stupidest people there are who couldn’t have the job done! The play has to have a great hero and that was embodied by Robin Hood who had help from all the good guys around.
In short, it was an awesome play I loved it to death and I would totally go there again!
This weekend is going to be awesome, not only is it Birthday Weekend but there are two new movies out and I am going to one of them tonight and the other tomorrow!
I seriously can’t wait to see “Life as We Know It” starring my honey bunch Josh Duhamel and the boring Katherine Heigel but that’s the price I pay to watch Josh on the movie. (I bet that scene would be censored but it’s the price to pay to see Joshy boy!)
Tomorrow will be spent with family and Lujain going to watch “Tangled” the new animation from Disney! Now if only I can have her hair it would be awesome!
Another thing looking forward to is Saturday, birthday day and the day Daddy comes home with all my gifts and presents yay! One of the things I got myself earlier this year for free was the “Square: Payment System thingy for the iPhone/iPad which is cool” And just so much more! Oh and a haircut too! I dunno what I’ll do but something new and fresh at least!
I love December!
