Yesterday, at 12:00 am while me and my wife watch TV, the guy living in the apartment above mine start drilling, I start complaining to my wife saying what insensitive neighbor he is. At first I said it won’t take long, few minutes and he will be over, but the noise didn’t stop and it became very annoying. At 1:00 am I decided to go to bed and ignore that noise, the strangest thing happened, I didn’t hear any noise, I went back to the living room to find out that all this noise was coming from an electric tooth brush connected their, which I drop (and apparently broke) few days ago, and it start working and stopping by it self.

I hope they fix it.

Couple of weeks ago a new Indian restaurant open in Raka Plaza near my home, it is called “Spice”, it looked nice, and the logo was really cool. Last week me and my wife tried it, the food was good, the problem was the day after that, I had the worst stomach ache, and it didn’t stop until today. Everytime I eat anything the same pain comes again. They stole the logo from Cafe Spice.
