No matter what season, religious occasion or time of day, parking is still a problem at the College of Engineering.

Have any of you seen the Cosmo Bowling Center commercials on Alrai TV? I’ve only seen one myself (during 9adooh 3 break) but I though the presentation was very unique and creative. In short, a family goes to Cosmo and challenges the man at the cash register to a bowling match. Each member of the family has a different move/technique/super ability and the mother proves to be the most powerful of them all. The whole commercial is split into short (around ten-second-long) advertisements and they’re played a day apart with a trailing “to be continued” message.

My 7-year-old brother was fooling around while watering the plants outside, when a suspicious truck stopped right in front of the house. A couple of strange men climbed out and rapidly headed straight towards him. It was too late for him to make a move; he had already been stunned by their unexpected visit. They gathered around him, aimed directly at him and pointed towards his chin. “Shino 3eks imbellel?”. “Umm.. nashif!”, he answered. Before too long, he was running back inside the house with a box of dates; a gift he had just won from a Ramadan TV program.
