Dear 4th Ring Roaders,

Picture Stolen from Frankom

It was a pleasure to be mentioned in Al Watan TV, we will never forget this privilege. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Al Watan TV and the talented and elegant presenter Nouf Al Mudhayan for hosting various bloggers and giving them the exposure they deserve. Their drive to support the efforts of the Kuwaiti youth in general and bloggers in particular is priceless. We thank you so much.

We would also like to say a big thank you to our dear friends Jassem (Blushberry) and Abdullah (P0ach) for having the courage to stand up for the rest of us and talk on live TV. You guys are THE BEST!

We are in all honesty lost for words, we cannot find the right words to express our gratitude to Al Watan TV, Blushberry and P0ach for their kind words, and the free advertisement! We owe you one! :)

Oh, and before we forget: P0ach, my friend, the caller was not Abdulmohsen! ;)

A world wide super star just died and many hearts have been broken, he died at the age of 50, just before his tour in London. Michael Jackson was a legend, his thriller album is the most album sold ever, and he is known all around the world, our maid from indonesia came to us today asking “is the guy that died the famous American singer that looked like a girl?”. Everyone has been touched by his death. I personally am a huge fan of this miracle artists since I was 10.

RIP Michael Jackson..

Majlis Al Baladi elections are two days away, unfortunately many people dont take much interest in the “Baladi” elections and year after year there is a low percentage of voters hitting the polls, now i know the baladi is not as glamorous as the parliament elections but personally i believe its just as important as the people there are responsible for the implimentation of many different legislations like:

مراقبة تنفيذ القوانين واللوائح المتعلقة بالصحة العامة والتنظيم والمباني ونزع الملكية والاستيلاء المؤقت للمنفعة العامة وتقسيم الأراضي والمحلات العامة والمقلقة للراحة والمضرة بالصحة والباعة المتجولين وإصدار التراخيص الخاصة بكل ذلك بالتعاون مع الجهات الأخرى ذات الشأن وغير ذلك من القوانين واللوائح الخاصة بمرافق البلدية العامة

تقرير المشروعات ومواقعها في شؤون العمران وتجميل المدن والقرى والجزر والطرق والشوارع والميادين وتوسعها والمجارى والحدائق والتشجير ووضع النظم الخاصة بالإعلانات وكل ما يؤدى إلى تجميل المدينة وحفظ رونقه

وضع المخططات الهيكلية العامة ، ومخططات المناطق واستحداث وتنظيم المناطق السكنية والتجارية والصناعية وغيرها ، وكذلك إجراء ما يلزم من تعديل في استعمال الأراضي

These are just some of the main tasks that the members of the municipality council undertake, so please go out and vote on Thursday 25/06/2009!
