Egypt trip

I had a 3-day trip to Egypt to do some visits and finish some stuff in our new apartment there. That gave the chance to use my new Camera (Nikon D3000) recommended by my good friend Yousef. Below are some shots I took there :)

George Michael on Kuwait Airways website?

I landed on Kuwait Airways website to check on something, and some music started to play… I know this music.. I know it.. It’s George Michael’s “Jesus to child” from 1996 OLDER album. The question is What’s the need of a music loop on an Airways website?! Is that supposed to relax the website visitors? It doesn’t make any sense.

But you know what? being a George Michael music fan makes me like it! Here is the original video of “Jesus to a Child”

The concert I missed…

George Michael’s TwentyFiveLive in Abu Dhabi – late 2008, was annouced to be his last concert ever. Being a GM fan since early 1990′s would drive you to get VVIP tickets… the thing that I did actually! The problem was that… I missed my flight! errghhh I don’t wanna talk about it!

Seeing the concert videos on YouTube makes me feel… Sad… Really sad.

Oh! Just something that came up now to my mind… What if the concert was in Kuwait? We would see Hayef and his look-alikes fighting like hell to ban the concert.
