anyone got 121,904.40KD to spare?

This untamable beast (BRABUS BULLIT based on mercedes c-class) runs for a little more than 120k KD. It has a similar engine to (my dream car) the C63, however with a biturbo kit. it generates 720HP, gets to a 100km/h in 3.9 seconds, and is capable of reaching speeds over 360km/h. i am completely awed to be honest, with a tiny crack in my heart (heartbroken). however even if i had the money, it is a little toooo expensive, lets face it. However just take a look at the re-styling from the inside. MY GOD

back in switzerland

i got back from kuwait two days ago, and its feeling like its been ages. I was the one to decide i wanted to go to a boarding school in switzerland, specifically this one since i have been to the summer camp. The first year was a blast, i don't remember a thing from it. The second year was slightly tiring. However my third, last, and senior year is proving to be a workload. i just completed my applications to the US universities, and for Babson and Bentley, all what matters is the grading period that just passed (which i did relatively good in). Should i completely stop working, should i consider this grading period the last, or should i go on trying in case i did not get accepted to neither of those and need regular acceptance. Im not sure, however im quite sure that im tired of missing my friends, family, and life back in kuwait. Im sick of working my ass off, although the time is infact going by quick. I already miss the people though, and just for the record, i only took my boat out once that week, and did not eat texas fries, which i am paying for at the moment with my hungry belly :D. 

miss you guys..!

biodegradable usb stick?

what's happening to the world's inventors? running out of ideas? 

"It's far from the first company to attempt to make a more environmentally-friendly flash drive, but given the near disposable nature of them these days, that's not exactly a bad thing. This latest drive from Hong Kong-based Hoshino also takes a decidedly different approach than other drivesthat simply keep the hazardous chemicals and whatnot to a minimum, with it actually constructed out of polylactide (or PLA) made from corn that is, technically, biodegradable. The downside is that in order for it to be broken down, PLA needs to be blasted with heat for ten days on end at a specialized facility, which isn't exactly the most direct route back into the ground, or an accessible option for everybody at the moment (there's also the small matter of it being based on a food product). The drive also apparently isn't available to the general public just yet, but companies interested in doing business with Hoshino can contact 'em for more details."

Push - the movie

i don't know whether this is too much like heroes ornot .. but it seems really cool, and the actors are an added plus

my new crib

Im in the process of designing everything in my room from the interior to the electronics going into it. so i figure what better way to keep track than writing about on my blog. I'm going to design everything using the floor plans which i will have as soon as i get back home. also, i will be using a freeware program called sweet home 3D. 

first step, the screens ! 

i think the best size for my room would be a 50-52 inch, positioned slightly low to the ground to give its value you see. 

LC-52D64U (sharp)---- the good thing about this screen is that its one of the thinnest if not the very thinnest      

PDP-LX508D (panasonic)---- however, this screen, has won multiple awards from several magazines so..!

ALSO

i want the NU WTW154 wireless TV, to put in my shower! 

GOOD IDEA EH ?:P 

until the next time, where i will complete the floor plans, and get to the surround system/speakers and the rest of the entertainment 

Aim One

I recently realized that i havnt been paying too much attention to what i would like to get to do. I have been trying my best to work hard in school, and even though its paying off, for now, i do it cause i want my father to be proud of his eldest son, i want him to feel that he has raised a man he can depend on in anything at all. It is the least i can do for the great life and opportunities he let me have, not to do with money at all, because i know that money cannot buy you happiness but short term pleasure. However he does it by giving me an aim in life, and all the psychological, intellectual,  and emotional backup i need. 

back to my main point, i want to start thinking of what i would like to do. 

This post is dedicated to aim 1 :-

1) racing a Mclaren F1, or an Mv agusta, or a ferrari 599 gtb fiorano on the Nürburgring

Disappointment

i must say, i am very disappointed with the new macs. they are not that different in looks first of all, not to forget that half of the stylings are taken from the air (already thought up). Second of all, the specifications are not MAGICAL, they are not that different fro what you can get on the old macbooks. i would of thought it would be twice as slim, and twice as powerful or something, but apple is running out of idea unfortunately! 

the ONLY reason i might get it, is with the release of a new mac software..!

the world of finance

At first, i heard this happens once every 7 years or so, but the recession is getting me worried about several things. First of all, do i really want to major in accounting and finance still? many of the biggest companies are (esp banks) are declaring bankrupcy, and that does not make me happy! This is sadly effecting the middle eastern stock markets as well, emarr, one of the greatest companies in based in the UAE had their share go down 62% in the past week, worth a low 5.2$ or so. Im not into the risky game yet, but because it is the future of kuwait and dubai, i was planning to! whats the getaway ? watching the stock market all in red is not particularly fun, and when the overrated USA pumps 700$ billion for liquidity, i begin to worry.

however i must say, shopping on american websites has been a laugh, its basically like having a sale on EVERYTHING. other than that though, 

home soon

im going home very soon and there are several things i felt i needed to do

1) meet friends and family 

2) take my boat out at least 3 times

3) eat texas fries at chilies

i cannot begin to explain how excruciating it is to sit on on of lufthansa's economy seats but, at least im going to be home for about 8 days, which is always good :D.

p.s. the piece of artwork posted is not mine :D

new watch for me? graduation gift :D

I really like watches as its one of the very little accessories men have.

i usually go by this checklist when choosing a watch.

a) is it bulky and masculine (its the it thing now u c :P)

b) make sure its black, fav color

c) try it on, does it feel good

now as my father told me my graduation gift would be a watch, im going to have to make a decision between 3 that i havnt ever tried on but seem amazing. Keep in mind however, ive got no clue what the budget is. PROBABLY, i can get one of these, the cheapest (porsche)! cause the rest are much more expensive ! :P

1) BLACK porsche  p'6612 vhronograph pac

   

2) BLACK.. brietling proffesional aerospace 

   

  3) BLACK Rolex 

daytona chronograph

      

NOW..... i gotta find a way my dad would see this page, i cant go up to him and be bold about it you see, hed give me a slap and say shame on you for having hope.!  :P kidding, i know he will get me the porsche one, but im getting my hopes up :P

I hate the Ib

to anyone that may come over this post before making the choice that could mess up your life for good, DO NOT TAKE THE IB...

the advantages might lead you to think man.. how can this not be the right choice for my future, and your right, the IB will get you to places at a level better than the AP program, and the A levels. However the requirments that come with it are immense. All im going to do is post the link for you to understand, but words cannot describe how much work i have. i have been sacrificing my weekends for the past month now, and i must say my grades are turning out to be better than ever, however, at the cost of me being constantly unhappy. I know i used to be a guy thats always smiling and making jokes simply to make the people around me smile and feel ebtter. That is gone, by being here and working my ass off. and keep in mind, 2 people have failed from last year's senior class made up of 55 students, because of plagiarism in a useless thing called the extended essay. Not to forget the annoying TOK classes, and the taunting CAS hours.

a list of what i need to complete:

- extended essay, 4000 words, (they cant be BS)

- math portfolio (design a math project 2000 words)

- Business coursework (find a problem in a business and suggest solutions 2000 words)

- college applications (im not gonna start counting)

- TOK essay ( a stupid class u have to take called theory of knowledge 1500 words)

- TOK presentation 

- AND all the homework and tests i need to do and study for .. on average 

- 1000 words in english lit a week 

- 500 in arabic a week

- 1000 in geography a week

- each weekend i have community service for CAS 

therefore when i say i miss home, that means i miss having to do nothing :D
