In the plane
A 13-hour nonstop flight.. took 3 sleeping pills (didn't sleep).. no food.. and that's how I looked

At Home
 Red shoes

'Red Shoes' call for 'Red Eyes' (dad took the photos)

my father, my sister, and my other sister's son, checking their new digital camera (we are a photographic family!)

At Fanar
With my youngest aunt and her familia.. forgot the name of the restaurant, but it was good.

At Villa Fairouz
 nice place

would only get better if they had mattresses where we could lay down for an hour or two after lunch

full of Fairouz' photos

I wonder if she charges them for it. I bet they pay her something.

good tea too

and nice sun outside!!! (about 110 F)

At Al-Boom
Dakheel and I, waiting for the rest

Haitham arrived as well

We are dining before his departure to Ireland and he's talking on the phone

me, Naser, the Doctor (Mohammad), Haitham, Ziad and Dakheel

The "guest" also dropped us home

At Le Notre
 Going to meet the aunts

two of my aunts, my mom, and my brother.. all happy.. but cautious!

me and my eldest cousin, Ahmad Al-Qattan

Bu Musaed, with Kuwait Towers behind

A group photo outside

 Dad, various pics
testing the camera while dad is watching

My father, saw my camera in his car and decided to test it.

some afternoon fruits

At the Royal Cafe
The sacred Royal Cafe

Al-Harbi (smoking), Nawaf (drinking) and me (watching)

Bouhemdi and I, early in the night

Dakheel, experimenting with his new phone

Dr. Fahad, with the thirsty Dakheel, and the sleepy Ziad

Zaid, peacefully poisoning his lungs

The ever-happy Khalid (bu Yousif) and me

I'm experimenting with the camera while Abdullatif is checking his cigarette

Abdullatif: No.. I'm not upset for losing.. I'm watching the TV -- Meshari: Yeah, sure.. just FITT please!

He's sick of me shooting every thing

Abdullatif is eating.. but somebody is telling a story
and the story is getting unbelievable by the letter..!!
UFFF.. and you want us to believe it!! Let me go back to eating.

Al-Mashan, the salt of the evening.. is watching me shoot him calmly (so far)

Somebody is helping me with the shooting

Me, bu Ahmad (khalid Al-Zanky), and Fahad

I'm not kidding.. put down the damn glass and listen

The Nightly Duty.. Playing Hearts until dawn (keep in mind most of them are married with children, and all are employed--except me)

The official score-keeper, Ziad

but The Doctor doesn't see why we should home home at night!

With OJET in 2003
At the table

half of the OJETs

.. and the other half.

We ate

At Marina Mall
 Ready to leave

Rawan, in the car

my brother and my mom, looking at me

and me.. looking at them.

we're all looking at the waiter

ordering food

nice picture of the mall.. taken by me.

At Safir Internationalmy father decided to join me and my friends for a dinner out

my father in a chat with Abdullatif

Abdullatif and Dakheel, listening

Dakheel and Ziad

Latif, Dakheel and Mohammad

Nawaf sat next to me

We also had Musleh on the table.. but he's not showing up

my dad took the picture, and you could easily tell that I, Raed, was his son. (he skipped half of Dakheel's face to capture my shoulder)

I wish all people can take nice pictures, the waiter was TERRIBLE.

At Qasr Yeldz
 Dakheel and Dr. Hamed

Dakheel, Hamed, Al-Mashan, me, and Dr. Ahmad

Al-Mashan, me and bu Abdullah
