Movies

Last movie I watched was Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen...
The effects was great but just like the first part, they were showing us "Arabs" in a way which doesn't refelct the reality...For example in part one they show people in Qatar as a dozen of people who are living in houses made of mud which is not true.

In the second part, they did show Egyptians in the exact way they did show Qatar plus they did drore their cars from Aqaba, Jordan to the Pyriamids of Giza, Egypt in a short time while it takes at least 5 hours in real life...The writer didn't really bother to open a book or google a map.

KaMu?!

As a photographer I've taken many photos that I think they are good but I don't think that other people actually see what's the beauty which I see in that certain photo and they just don't...What makes me realize whether one of my photos is good (according to others) or not is the amount of views, favorites and comments about that photo in my flickr photo stream.

كمصور قمت بإلتقاط العديد من الصور التي أعتبرها بنظري جميلة، غير أني لا أعتقد أن البعض يرى نقاط الجمال في تلك الصور كما أراها...توصلت إلى هذه النتيجة من خلال عدد مشاهدة تلك الصورة و عدد إضافاتها للمفضلة و كمية التعليقات عليها في موقعي في فلكر.

The photo above is an example, it had very few comments in flickr; Now I think it's weird that it was chosen to be in a brochure, website and a blog of "KaMu" restaurant in Tokyo and soon in Austraila...Cool isn't it?

لنتخذ الصورة أعلاه كمثال، حصلت على القليل من التعليقات في فلكر و أرى انه من الغريب ان تم اختيارها لتكون ضمن بروشور، موقع و مدونة مطعم "كامو" الياباني في طوكيو و قريباً في أستراليا!

And this is their brochure

My trip to Sharm El Sheikh


Sharm El Shaikh is a city in Sinai, Egypt located on the red sea known best for corals and sea life.
I honestly thought it's just like flat, hot and dusty just like Kuwait but I didn't really expect what I saw...I was there from 29th of April 2009 until 9th of May 2009, everybody I knew told me that's a long period to spend over there but after spending all those 10 days yet I think it's not enough for a first time.

Going back on time, I packed my bag with plenty of tanktops, swimwear, shorts, snorkel, a diving mask and a water proof case for my digital SLR camera which I ordered online.

Until then I had no clue that I'll comeback to Kuwait with a new hobby which is Snorkeling.

I've done plenty of fun things over there, I went to many different locations and of course I've taken tons of photos...The only sucky thing about was me being the photographer so I don't get many photos of me :(

Cleopark (which is a water park) was fun although there is a larger water park called Aqua park but I didn't know it until one day before going back to Kuwait.

I went to many cruises where I had the chance to snorkeling in the open sea and enjoy the corals and colored fish , one was to Ras Mohammed, one to the blue hole (which was my favorite spot) we took a 4*4 car then a camel (that was a scary ride) and thrid one was to Tiran island where I almost drowned because I was exuasted from last day's trip so I spent the rest of the trip sleeping *blushes* LOL

The only things I regret:
- Sleeping when we got closer to the recked ship on Tiran island cruise
- Not going to Aqua Park (the large one)

Kuwait Trip in 4min

I loved that video, it's a sequel of photos taken on the road from Bahrain to Kuwait by 3 Bahraini guys.

I think it's very creative idea, I love it except I wonder why do they need all that bread for?

Push

I watched that movie yesterday, I like it and it worth watching.
Genre: Thriller \ Sci-Fi

Fasting for MRI scan.

UPDATE> Just came back and it was one of the scariest moments of my life...No wonder I used to drive my mother crazy when I was little, that's why she used to force me stay up all night till dawn so I fall a sleep during the scan.

They made me keep all my stuff in a locker, injected me twice first time before the scan and the second time during it...Then they asked me to place two tiny ear pieces because they told me it will be loud in there, at the time I thought they were just trying to make look stupid...When I got in there I did look stupid but it wasn't that loud, thanks for the ear pieces :S
