We are the Epitomy of Bad Luck!!! Read on........

Another adventure, another story, a cocktail of bad luck and timing. I was guna write this post, but I thought NoNoWa wud describe it much better. So, NoNOWa- take the lead!
*
Here is our story of woe! Yes...WOE! We just want to exhibit our bad luck and bad timing. And also why being late is something unevitable even though it wasnt our fault. It all began with us going to meet up with some friends- u know who u are guys!! :) Well we started out a lil late..like we were supposed to be there at 5:30..but we left the house at 6. Ok thats our fault..but what happens next is not!
*
It started with KM being tooo lazy and not getting gas before he came home. We jumped in the car and realized we had to get gas, so we went to our neighborhood gas station and of course it was CLOSED! KM figured that the closest station wud be the one on the Gulf Road across the street from Fridays. We were already worried cuz we only had 10kms worth of gas, and that was even before KM had come home from work..so we needed it BAD!
We made it to the gas station=good news.
Gas station closed=bad news.
We thought ..ok they were changing shifts, so we waited...and waited...and waited, and time was running, our friends were waiting and we tried to move on, but the second we did- the lil gauge went to "0 km". Wonderful! :(
We turned into a bus stop and thought we cud just reverse regardless of the tafteesh across the street that had maybe 10 coppers...waiting to give ppl tickets. so we reverse, and as we do---a car has to pull up behind us, y??? Becuz we were there, and there was no other bus stop in the universe except that one. Finally , we made it back to the entrance of the station only to realize that the time was 7:12...as u can see in the pic below.



KM got out of the car, and went to ask the supervisor what the hell is happening....cz we had already been there for 1 hour. He said that out of all the stations in Kuwait, that the company didnt bring the workers to this one and that they wud be late. And y, do u ask?? Bcuz we were there! So much for 24 hour service, huh?
Eventually, a policeman came by since he had seen us there like forever....and asked whats going on? So KM told him and he said he wud go check it out. It turns out that the copper just wanted to take a dump and needed an exscuse. He dissappeared mysteriousely for 20 minutes., and came back to tell us that the workers were on the way, and he didnt believe that we had no gas, so he came and peeked thru the window to check.
At this point our friends left- cuz there was no way in hell we cud make it. Me and KM played every hand game u cud imagine in the car. We joked, we took stupid pics until my phone had no battery left, and we were a bit naughty...u gotta pass the time- know what i mean?!* says KM* LOOL :P
Oh and thats another shot of the cop car--guys its called BOREDOM!Its after 8--we're still there and then a lil Bengali guy comes over to tell us the exciting news. He said"Sorry Baba...bacher ta3al" Which means that the only gas station in Kuwait, that we happened to pull up to- was gonna be closed until the next day.Lucky us........at this point we hit depression and we just kept thinking we are paying a babysitter to watch our kids, so that we can sit in front of a closed gas station.- WOW!!
Anywhoo...there was a guy waiting in line..an angel in a black yukon as KM describes him, who offered to go and get us gas. You see we cudnt call anyone...cz we didnt have cards in our phones- hehe...we always put stuff off!!! As for KM, he thought how stupid wud we look calling someone to come and give us gas, its like.."Hey dude could you just get me Gas, yeah you wanna know where am I.. me..Im in front the gas station"...LOL
Well he got brought us the gas and we made it to another station so we cud fill up the car...and here is the greatest moment of the evening........watch and enjoy! :P




Then we went to Chili's and had a"NoNoWa and KM emancipation moment!!!!
Wooohoooo!!

At last.....

Yup, at last, me KM the biker, I bought me a new mobile..why its such a big thing?? Well, its a long long story, and I think the best one who could talk about it is, NoNoWa, coz she suffered and lived through the dilemma of deciding what mobile I should buy..

So this post will be written by NoNoWa, if there is anybody who deserves the right to do so, it will be her!! So there you go NoNoWty..


The post is yours...

First addiction- TYTN II-

KM, the nerd (former owner of an I-Mate), drove me insane about this phone---ohhh wait I mean Pocket PC. God forbid I put it down to a regular phone status- LOOL! He would call me from work and tell me all about the specifications and applications and laaaaa dee da....but for me I hate Pocket PC's- they are just too complicated. So i wud try to discourage it, but to no avail. He made endless trips to phone shops just to see when it wud finally be here in Kuwait. This was his goal in life- to get this phone--nothing else mattered...but then he figured out after hours and hours of research--that it was just a test phone and that the software wasnt complete.
CONQUEST DIMINSHED!!!!!!!




Crime and Punishment-

Because KM is well, KM- he is a procrastinator and a very good one at that. I had a Samsung and it needed to be fixed so after about 9 months of waiting- I decided to walk inside Alghanim and ask for the cheapest phone known to mankind, just so I cud have some sort of communication---since KM had promised to either fix my phone or buy me a new one. I could wait no longer. So this lil Nokia is what I ended up with.... now I only thought it fair that after he bought me a new phone and his I Mate had broken- that he went through the same humiliation that I went through so I made him use the lil Nokia. The punishment must fit the crime in my opinion!! LOOL!




Second addiction-K850i

Now KM actually bought this phone. But, of course, only after endless hours of reviews and research- and filling my head with information that I could hardly understand. He also made me hate the phone before he even got it. He is the kind of person that likes to know everyhing about the phone before he buys---I am a discoverer!!! :) Now the phone was just what the Dr. ordered, but unfortunately----the camera was nothing that they made it out to be and he was soooo disappointed. He even had to go and get a new SIM card for this phone because it was so sensitive. He had it for a total of 2 days and took it back - meskeeeeen habiby. He was soo happy....and when he had finally found what he wanted it wasnt as great as he thought.

The end of my misery- Nokia N95- 8gb

*Hallalujah, hallalujah, hallalujah!!!* He has finally found the answer to his prayers......and the end of my misery! He took back the K850i and got the nokia instead. He came walking in the door like he had robbed a candy store- he had a smile that stretched from ear to ear....he finally felt happiness! And I was ---well just relieved because I couldnt listen to anything else about phones. PHONES SUCK!!!!

I just want to take a moment to thank God for Nokias and giving me back my husband and my sanity. Patience is a virtue and when u get married , u just dont know how much of that virtue you will need.

Now tell him Mabrook everyone!! And do a little dance- cuz he deserves it and so do I!!!!!!!


PS- He is really happy with the features, but keeps bitching that he now needs a touch screen- temporary happiness. But I am not complaining---so until the next conquest---technology sucks!
