This is my first video in my kayak trip, I promise next one would be so much better, enjoy.

The Golden Coin

April 16, 2010 - 7:28 pm 5 Comments

Sometime there are stuff might not worth much as in a price, but worth millions for its sentimental value. As an example of that, the golden coin that I have which have a picture of shikeh Zayed Bin Sultan on one side and on  the other side it says the fifth anniversary of the United Arab Emirates 1971-1976.

I wonder how many people still have this coin which went for sale by the central bank of UAE on year 1976 in a very limited edition.

Day at the beach

When someone come to you with excuses and you know that those excuses are just made up, you lose that respect to that someone. The dump type of people think they are smart, because they are dump, so stop that act of stupidity, at least people will respect you for who you are.

anyhoo, I went to the beach that day and it was fun, I actually took my wave-runner “jet ski”  and my kayak, I had fun on kayak more than the jet-ski, its hard and hurts, but fun.

waverunner one

Lot of people think its easy to drop the jet-ski on water and hard to take it up again, actually its the opposite, very easy to take it up from water, kinda annoying to take it down.

waverunner two

Pushing so hard !!! lets see what P90X do. . . not much apparently lol, Also I was thinking I’m gonna go get my Kayak too.

To the North Pole

March 14, 2010 - 1:54 am No Comments

It is great to see people from your country do such adventure in an extreme environment. Elham Al Qasimi is the first Emirati to do this expedition.
well, I always wanted to do such thing, but opportunity never came up.
“Impossible seems to fade into nothing”, this teaches me to bring up the opportunities and not wait for them, and face the challenges, because you’ll never know until you try.

Guests are visiting

wooden setting area

I usually hang out in this place, very relaxing and specially when the weather is clear, the mountains looks so amazing.

oh right, we had some guests visiting, but I liked their way of transport

Helicopter

sides

I always wanted to fly one of those, but I think it’s not easy as it looks. I’ve been in this particular one couple of times and the it doesn’t have lots of stuff and buttons, but still scares me to try flying it.

cockpit doesn’t look scary to be honest, but I usually suck at RC ones, so I’m not going to fly the real one “Just Yet”

Why “Not” buy a Vertu

February 26, 2010 - 2:24 am 3 Comments

I used to like the Vertu mobiles because of ites uniqnes “Not anymore”, its design and the luxury of combination of titanium and fine leather.

I’ve been using Vertu mobile phones for about five to six years now and used many different types, from the ascent to constellation to signature, but as they always say beauty hurts and I’ll tell you why in a second.

vertu keypad

The mobile looks great, of course because it cost more than 40 000 Dirhams or 15 000$. There are cheaper models, not this! but does it worth this amount? hmm lets see

vertu side

I have to be honest, the metal never scratched, screen looks great as always, I bought this model for two years I guess and it still shine, But . . .

vertu leather

The leather will look like this after a short period, depends how you take care of it, my mobile is older than my brother’s Vertu, but lets look at his

summer collection vertu leather

The trick is never place the Vertu on its back when you are in a restaurant or home or anywhere ! When you place it on its face, don’t worry about the screen, it will never get scratched and the leather will live longer.

You always can change the leather, but it will cost you some thousands.

battery cover

When you need to remove the battery cover, you’ll need a special key that comes in a box, using key to open a battery cover is a nice touch by Vertu, but its annoying .. actually I lost all my keys lol, I use a coin or my nail sometime, but be careful, long nail can be broken easily !!

vertu battery

Major problem with Vertu is the battery. It is the worst I ever saw and used, it can be done with couple of hours or 30-60 mins talking and sometime less. When the battery is new, it last longer, but after couple of months, forget it. I’ve been using several vertu’s in the past 5-6 years and the problem still exist with them all. look at the battery how thin, and you’ll understand why.

Insert SimCard

I’m not sure if this problem is a major or not, but it happens with my current phone, on the picture, I actually removed the sim, but sometime I get this message even when sim is in. Annoying ..

Finally, there are millions of fake vertu’s allover the world now, and they look exactly like the original, but I still can tell the different .

  • every vertu has a serial number, or if its limited it’ll have a number for example 699/1000 as mine says. the fake ones always will be 1/1000.
  • the leather will feel cheap and somehow like nylon and not leather
  • the menu somehow is different
  • on the second picture there is a button on the left side of the phone to call the concierge service, on the fake ones it won’t work.

That’s what in my mind for now I guess there are much more, but I never cared about the fake ones only to catch my friends when they use one haha.
