Yellow Trash Cans St.

June 21, 2011 by · 1 Comment
 

I was on my to the office yesterday when i noticed new yellow trash cans all over Salem Al Mubrak St. there is a trash can every 30meters on each side !!!

The street now looks really really looks weird…you’ve got to see it to understand what am failing to describe  !!

Now the other weird issue is the interlock pavement blocks that were removed to install the trash cans, they were left next to the trash cans… as if the job was only to install the trash cans and not clean the garbage produced  by the installation!

 

Customer service

Zain noticed the iPhone post i wrote yesterday and took action on it very quickly, i got an email at 8AM and then a call at 10am !

Mr.Al-Omar explained to me the reasons behind the 6 month period and thanked me for bringing the issue to their attention he also agreed that the customers’ history should be considered in such cases and exceptions should be made -i was the first -.

I was excepting my post to be read by Zain since all new posts are auto shared by a lot of aggregator sites and twitters, and the fact that Zain monitor online conversations around their brand across the social web, but i never expected such a quick action from them !

Thank you Zain for the prompt customer support and for solving the issue.

Discrimination @ZainKuwait

I liked the new iPhone offers from Zain and since my voice and data consumption fits one of the monthly packages they are offering, i decided to go and get me a new white iPhone.

I went to Hawaly branch, it was very crowded, the numbering machine was broken but the guys there where helping everybody with smile on their face. My turn comes i till the guy behind the counter that i want to subscribe to one of the iPhone packages… he says great and ask me for my ID, and just when i hand him the ID he goes sorry you are not allegeable for the offer !!!!

I ask why? and he goes your residency has only 5 month left and we require you have a least 6 month !!! – ليش مقدم على ڤيزا شنجن –

I try to argue a bit trying to understand the logic behind the 6 month, but he fails to explain and just say: its the rules sir and its from up there !!!

I ask him to check since when am a Zain customer, and goes since 1993, i say does that have any value, would you or the branch manager be able to make an exception? he goes sorry sir we can’t !! so i leave the branch laughing trying to comprehend what just happened !!

I have been a loyal Zain customer for the past 18 years, i never tried of even had the urge to try any other service provider but unfortunately it seams all that doesn’t count under any brand loyalty program at Zain !!

The irony is am gona continue using Zain services because i believe they are the best and just blame the above on the system .

Thank you Zain for making my day.

Captured this video yesterday, three kids enjoying a joyride at 3pm in a 48 degrees weather…kinda reminded me of my childhood when heat was not an issue.

I’ve Got the Power !

This is a video we shot last year, we had a demo Aprilla RSV4 Factory, a demo BMW S1000rr and a fully moded BMW E60 M5.
We were experimenting with the RR trying to find out what can it do, so we asked our friend on the RR to stop and only start accelerating when we – me on the RSV4 and my friend in the M5- pass by him at a speed of 100kmh.
Now the thing that we did not know that the RSV4 was on the “R” mood which stands for Road and only pumps out 140hp while the “R” mood on the RR is the race mode that unleashes all the 180 horses.
Enjoy

Almost made it !

I witnessed this at the entrance of the Duty Free area, i guess the guy was in a hurry either for a lecture at the university or the Shisha at the duty free.

Ride like an Italian

BikeWorld the local dealer of Vespa, Gilera and Piagio scooters is organizing a scooter ride Friday morning, i’am not sure if they will be bringing demo scooters for people to ride or they are only organizing the ride for scooter owners, either way its nice gesture but a bit late as the weather is getting hot.

See you all on Friday 🙂 .

Kuwait Rally day 2

March 13, 2011 by · 2 Comments
 

The final day was a heavy rain day but Nasser Al-Attiyah on his Autotek Ford Fiesta S2000 managed to win 11 of the 12 special stages in this 2 day race, thus claiming the Kuwait Rally and securing his fourth rally victory of the season and his 40th career win.

Frankly speaking there was no match for his driving skills or speed, the only driver that came a little bit closer was Al-Qassimi.
Finally i would like to thank Zain for giving us the chance to be so close to the action, and hope the next invitation would be a paddock pass for next week opening round of the 2011 MotoGP in Qatar ;-).
