Our new RC cars ;)
Thursday, March 15th, 2012
Yah baby we’er going old school and got our selves a long awaited quest yes me and Itsallg000d wanted to get RC cars for some time, i took the initiative and bought my battery French made RB one that can sprint 100km/h yes 
then Itsallg000d got his Japanese crawler Lunchbox.
Before i say anything more about the RB one check out how this baby moves
This baby was ready to go out of the box for KD 200 then the battery and the charger ad KD 75 do the math
As for the Luchbox its a cruller meaning slower and it’s more fun on non-flat land it cost KD 140 but it was dismantled so you need to assemble the car and buy a remote with battery and charger.
Itsallg000d and i go out once a week to have fun with them, usually when we do crowds gather around us to see and have fun :/
If you guys have an RC car let’s get together and make some damage
Getting Ready for GulfRun [WhatYouNeed]
Thursday, January 26th, 2012
Here we are, a day away from the Land of Burning Rubber and I’ve been head over heels trying to make sure I’m not forgetting anything that would help me create the ultimate video! (and shots)!
Disregarding all my natural instincts of making up my travel bag and putting together my clothes and hygiene necessities, I found myself assembling my photo/video equipment under the beats of Armin Van Buuren… so let’s see what we have here; the picture above simply sums up what I’m going to take with me so here we go:
1- Manfrotto 390 Tripod (Medium)
2- Manfrotto Modo 785B (Small)
3- Manfrotto Modosteady 585 (Portable Stabilizer)
4- Epson Multimedia Storage Viewer P-3000 (40GB CF/SD card reader and backup device; fill a card, put it in, back it up, empty card, fill it again and so on)
5- Wireless Mic set (Mic unit, Receiver unit and Mixer)
6- Canon Vixia HF-S10 32GB Camcorder + HD Wide Angle converter and Hood
7- Canon Mini Shoe / Mini Shotgun microphone
8- Extra Canon Long-Life battery
9- Vixia Remote Control
10- Camcorder Fisheye Lens
11- Bose IE2 Headphones
12- Camcorder Suction Mount Kit
13- Extra Rechargeable Energizer Batteries (For Flash)
14- GoPro Hero Kit (Cam and Mount + 8GB SDHC Class 6 Lexar Premium Series)
15- two Canon 7D Batteries + Twin Battery Charger
16- Canon 580EX Flash + Attachable White Reflector
17- Canon 7D / Canon 24-70mm 2.8L + Hoya Clear protective filter
18- Canon 70-300mm 4.5-5.6 DO
19- Air/ Dirt Blower
20- Canon 7D BatGrip
21- Canon 7D Shutter Trigger
22- 8GB / 16GB Lexar Pro 233x CF cards + Protective Case
23- Hoya Circ-Polarizer filters
Whew… of course taking care of the equipment is the job of a Lowepro Flipside backpack and a CaseLogic DSLR Sling Sling. I really believe that I won’t be using all of the stuff I’m bringing, but I haven’t the slightest idea on what to expect over there, so I’d rather play it safe than regret not having that tiny thing that would screw things on me.
All in all, I’m looking forward for this and looking forward to making one hell of a video out of the whole experience. Any soundtrack suggestions guys?

Friends at Japan
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011
Back in 2007 I traveled to Japan to study Japanese in a language center at Tokyo for 2 weeks, for I love Japanese culture.
In a very short period I made many friends there in a very divers class. There was students from Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, Australia, USA, Iran, France, UK, Germany, Canada and Kuwait
We used to go out after class is over and enjoy our Japan experience … we really had a blast
One day we were at our friends apartment, Thomas from Switzerland, with Shawn from Korea, Miho from Japan and Me from Kuwait ;D
We were trying to pronounce the hardest words in every body’s langue which were German (for the Swiss), Korean and Arabic. I got my friends Arabic try on tape
I really didn’t want to release the video I conceder it very privet, but I hope you enjoy it
