Kuwait Driving : Earth Song!

With the new law of Driving and talking on the phone.. the reason they said, is that “talking on the phone, distracts  the driver”, which is quite true. But offlate i noticed …..

  • People are using laptops while driving
  • People having burgers and other foods while driving
  • People clicking photos and VideoFilming
  • EveTeasing

i dont know how many of you’ll have listened to “Earth Song” by Micheal Jackson. With the new mobile law in place. i decided to key in my own words..  Sing with the same Earth Song tune.

What about Burgers ,
What about Laptops,
What about all the things
That happens on the road
What about killer cars
Is there a time
What about all the roads
That you said you would build in time
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood that has been shed
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying trees ahead

Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah

Here is the original track if you need to listen to it :

Animal Brutality!!!

We got a call, from my wife’s Colleague, Patricia, today evening about a dog she found beside her house in Salmiya. it seems it was being badly beaten with sticks and kicks from 8 boys. So she called us and we rushed to rescue the dog.

Patricia said she had to yell at the boys to stop doing so as it was howling in pain and it seemed it was tied to pole. She managed to free the dog and kept it at a safer place and waited for us.

We reached there, it was saddening to see the dog in sort of trance, shivering and trying to breath. So we loosed out the rope from the dog’s neck and chest, so that could breath. We called AFL(Animal Friends League). who as always, were prompt to guide us on what steps to take. And the dog was rescued.

Patricia narrated to us, the event on how she heard the dog howling in pain from a distance and how painful’y it was see a helpless creature tied and beaten. Its so sad to see the younger generation to be both thoughtless and unsympathetic.  if its not human emotions that can stop people from brutally beating animals… i wonder if its ever mentioned in each one’s religions thats Animals are created by God and to be treated with respect.

Animal Friends Opportunities/Requests

i got this by email today…i feel its a good cause.

————————————— 

Hello,

Animal Friends is in need of some volunteer help as we grow as an  organization. All these opportunities do not require travel to the  shelter.

First, we need to put together a fundraising committee. This would  entail working on getting sponsors for our annual calendar, which we  are working on now and planning fundraising events. These events often  fall on weekends so you need to be willing to volunteer some of your  time on the weekend. This also will include working directly with  donors and trying to secure donations.

Second, Animal Friends has been awarded the honor of hosting the  upcoming Middle East Network for Animal Welfare Conference here in  Kuwait at the end of 2009. I would like to put together a planning  committee for this large event since the time will be upon us very  quickly. This is an amazing opportunity for us to get our message out 
to the population of Kuwait as well as the government by bringing very  influential people in the field right into our living room. We are  about 18 months away and every aspect of the conference needs to be  planned.

Third, I would like to put together an education committee. Basically  it is time to really hit the schools hard and start to get our message  out to the younger generation of Kuwait in an organized and efficient  manner. It would be very helpful if we could include some Arabic  speakers on this committee. I already have some education programs  that have been shared with me by bigger organizations that just need 
to be tweaked to meet our needs.

Last but not least, we are looking at taking on a paid Director of  Fundraising on a part-time basis. If you love to fundraise and are  able to commit twenty hours a week to the task, please let us know and  we can discuss further.

And please feel free to forward on to anyone you think might be interested.

Kind regards,
Ayeshah Al-Humaidhi

We went grocery shopping at Lulu HyperMart yesterday evening.  We passed by the eggs section and we  were shocked to find this really huge thing… ‘Ostrich Eggs’.. Selling at KD 2.150/- each!!!!  I googled it today, there seems to be a whole lot of recipes for it. hmmmm….

Baba Sa3ad, May his Soul rest in peace!

I got a call from few friends, that Sheikh Saad, had passed away. This was shocking news. I knew he was old and ailing, but for him not to be around sounds so”not-right”. Though im not Kuwaiti, but from my childhood  in kuwait growing up with 2 major Kuwaiti Rulers , Sheikh Jaber and Sheikh Saad, who has seen Kuwait grow both prosperous and strong in various fields, I feel the absence of him around very painful.

My heartfelt condolences to his family and to all kuwaiti’s in the country. May his soul rest in peace.!

Harvesting Aloe Vera!

 

We grow few pots of Aloe Vera at home, here in Kuwait. Since we have been feeding the Pots with  Aquarium Water. The Aloe seems to have become a rain forest. So to avoid it falling off the windows, since its amazing heavy. we decided to harvest the leaves.  We got roughly 4 Litres of Pulp with the harvest.

i found this article on preserving Aloe Pulp, which seems quite helpful ..
