“thousands of brands rushing online without thinking...”
“No, no, no my dear, EEK! is NOT “ONLINE” anything, it is simply “e”. Yanni, you can say it is “PRINTED MEDIA DELIVERED IN A DIGITAL FORMAT”. And so it goes, in so
many of our marketing pitches we, EEK!, have to explain that we are not an online entity, and that “e” does not mean “website”. I know this is preaching to the converted,
but yikes folks, if you’re not subscribed you don’t get it! Get it?! LOL
This whole issue of “e” has been a very interesting road to take. I recently met up with an old friend and we had a chat on where and what EEK! is and where it fits in in the
local media landscape. “Dude, EEK! is like a printed blog” he said as his glasses fogged up from the coffee half an inch from his nose. This statement made me realize for
the first time that “yes, EEK! isn’t just about news, its way too intimate for that!”. (And intimate it is let me tell you. We receive loads of mails from you, our subscribers,
and we try to read each and every one - we’re doing our best to keep up...) But I digress. Who and what is EEK! e-mag? Part of the answer is “what is EEK! not”. EEK!,
most certainly, is not “online” or “social media”.
Social media is ever present and ever expanding but also ever changing! This by definition implies that the advertiser never actually knows who the heck he or she is talking
to. Which brings me - very quickly - to the point. What is talking to who. That “what”, is “the brand”. Can a brand really be effectively positioned and developed in the social
media environment? Can any advertiser “own the page” without totally upsetting the “surfer”? The answer is a clear “no” according to research group TNS. They write
“Choosing the wrong channel, or simply adding to the cacophony of online noise, risks alienating potential customers and impacting business growth. Digital waste is the
accumulation of thousands of brands rushing online without thinking who they want to talk to - and why. Many brands have recognized the vast potential audiences available to them on social networks; however they are failing to understand that these spaces belong to the consumer...”.
Six years ago we
put up a website
called abcq8.com,
and this was at a
time when the terms “blog” and “forum” didn’t even exist. We had a page called “pinboard” (which eventually lead to the e-mag known as EEK! in Kuwait). Yahoo was
there, and they speculated about “real time communications” which later translated into the likes of Skype, Facebook, Twitter, etc. And today, a mere six years later? Have
a look at the above line of logos enabling me and you, the web surfers of this world, to “stay connected” and have “immediate access” to information. Come on, where is
this heading to?! I’ve no idea, but in the words of a young ad agency secretary (who had three phones on her desk annoyingly informatively bleeping every 5 seconds
“keeping her connected”) its probably something like “I don’t know anymore, I don’t have time to be connected”. Seems to me even blogs are old news these days...

PS: I’m not so sure, but are people who go online still called “surfers”?

a hefty bill.
Eventually almost one, long year later I
decided enough was enough. I needed a
new stud boy. The house was sliding in to
moral decline.
Hollie had taken to rolling in my husbands
underwear and Rose was gazing soulfully
out the patio door at a local street cat we
had named Scarface. He only had half an
ear on one side and was the ugliest, meanest looking cat I’ve ever seen. But Rose
was obviously suitably impressed by his
battle scarred physique. She did not share
my view that this was not the boy for her.
I searched all over Europe and USA for a
tried and tested, virile, male pedigree cat
of suitable lineage for my special girls..
Lots of people offered me young males but

I scanned the shelves, hoping to spot what
I needed without going in to explanations.
However, I was not that lucky and a salesman approached me quickly with the standard.’ Can I help you madam, routine’.
Feeling a little uncomfortable I said “Well
I’m looking for something to boost male
hormones, you know, increase stamina etc.
And, if you could check that it’s not poisonous to cats, well that would be very helpful!.”
He stared at me for about 10 seconds before saying “Excuse me?”
So I again repeated my demand. Puzzled
he gave me the same blank stare again..
Fearing I could be there all day at this rate,
I thought oh what the heck and taking the
bull by the horns. I said “Look, I need your
help to get my cat pregnant.”
Out of the corner of my eye I saw my
friend disappearing out the shop door, but I
did get a response from the salesman. He
even went in to the back room and checked
in his files to see there was nothing in the
product that could harm Homer.
So, home I came, armed with a bottle of
tablets called ‘ Boost Male Stamina 51’ and
one very embarrassed friend who said she
was never going shopping with me again!.
Guess some people are touchy J.
He was a nice man and he still waves to
me every time, I try to sneak past his
shop. Oh well, I probably gave him something to tell his friends over coffee.

So back home again I looked at he pills and
wondered how much I could actually give
Homer? It truly was a pity my husband
was away because I would have preferred
to test these on someone, before risking
the cat.
We dubiously started with one a day. I
have to say it did seem to work. Homer
was jumping all over the girls. However his
excitement like mine, was short lived…
At last my new stud boy arrived from USA
and was delighted to be with us. He wasted
no time getting down to business and just
over 2 months later, our home was blessed
with the cutest litter of 6 kittens anyone
could have wished for. Finally we were
breeding pedigree cats..
But, what to do with Homer? He was now
4 years old and I thought I’d exhausted
every option.. My vet expressed his desire
to have him and I was prepared to neuter
and let him go to live the life of the pet he
seemed destined to be. I was only waiting
for the summer vacation to pass.
Now this is where the story takes a turn.
Along with my stud boy I had also purchased another female, Pearl. She arrived
in not very good condition. Very underweight and unknowing to me she was also
pregnant. I struggled very hard to get
weight on her but she had a premature
delivery and it all went badly wrong for her.
It was a very worrying time for me but finally after 2 days in the vet hospital I had
her home again. I felt she needed lots of
rest and TLC.
However, little Pearl made a great recovery. She settled into our home and adjusted so well.. She was the cutest little
thing. I just had no desire to breed her
again.. However, when she came into season she was like a tiger!. She didn’t cry or
howl, instead she rolled, she kneaded her
front paws and then she would reverse her
butt in to anything upright. She also
seemed to be constantly in season!
The final straw came when I was called
downstairs to remove her from the legs of
my daughters’ Arabic tutor. She was happily reversing her butt right in to his shins.
“What’s wrong with your cat?” he asked
me. Well even 28 years in Kuwait had not
equipped me with sufficient Arabic vocabulary to answer that one! So instead I simply replied, “She wants to get married.” I
hauled her away, leaving him looking down
at his legs in astonishment.
Oh Pearl what ever am I going to do with
you I wondered?
That’s when I had the brain wave...I’d just
read an article about using cats that had
undergone vasectomies to keep females
happy during long breeding seasons.. I was
convinced Homer was as good as useless,
so I put her in with him to see if she would
calm down.
Sure enough she came out of his bachelor
pad 2 days later, considerably calmer and
life returned to normal.
About 4 weeks later I couldn’t help but no-

ticed she was looking very rounded. As I
was taking the kittens for vaccinations I
decided to have the vet take a look at
Pearl. I feared she was either having a
“Phantom pregnancy” or something was
wrong from her previous bad experience. I
decided doing an ultra sound sonar would
be a good thing. That’s when I got the
news that left me in shock. The vet declared, “she’s pregnant, I can see 3 very
active kittens.”
“Kittens”, I repeated, “.are you sure?”
“Yes” he replied, “I’m sure.”
Well looking at the options I realized it had
to have been Homer, I just couldn’t believe
it!
“You Floozie, Pearl,“ I declared when we
got home,” What did you do to Homer?”
I have to tell you she didn’t look the least
bit repentant. But that boy had taken a
vow of celibacy till that little minx went into
his room. I’m still not convinced he was a
willing participant.
He also showed not the least sign of guilt
when I went into his room later that day,
Sitting there on his cat tree, gazing out the
window, looking smug.
Two months later the following message
duly went up on the nursery page of our
website.. …
Pearl was a naughty girl and surprised her
mom with 3 beautiful kittens.
PS...Homer was naughty too!
Looking back on the whole experience and
trying to make sense of it, I came to con-
sider the issue of size.
Homer like many pedigree cats is a small,
compact boy. The females tend to be bigger as I choose breeding girls who are larger. But Pearl is the exception. She’s a
tiny little thing. So I wonder, did her size
simply make her more compatible? In
other words when it comes down to matters of intimacy, even in the feline world,
does size matter?
This was 2 years ago and Homer never repeated the feat with any other cat. I don’t
know, may be he’s forgotten how he did it?
May be this spring Pearl will pay him another visit to remind him.

Suitcase Filled with Nails: Lessons Learned from Teaching Art in Kuwait
Quotes from the book...
A civil ID, I learn, is like a birth certificate, social
security number, voter registration, and insurance card, all
rolled into one. It’s your ticket to life in Kuwait – there is
little you can accomplish here without one.
“When can I get it?”
“Maybe five weeks. Maybe six weeks. Inshalla.”
Inshalla is an Arabic word that means, “If God is
willing,” or, “God willing.” Inshalla ends every sentence.
For example: “When will you return my passport?” Answer:“Tomorrow, Inshalla.” In this circumstance, realisticallytranslated, Inshalla means, “You get it when you get
it. Don’t bother me.” This literally translates to, “You are
stuck here and can’t leave without your passport, whose
whereabouts no one really knows, and even if someone did
know, they couldn’t possibly predict how long it would take
to get it back to you.” Inshalla
Then there is also the dreaded travel ban. In
Kuwait, if you displease a student or parent, or any national for any reason – a reason you may not even be
aware of – you can find yourself waiting in line at the
airport, plane ticket home in hand, only to be turned
back. Some pampered-to-oblivion student or the father
of a student, whose assignments are plagiarized, grades
negotiated through intimidation, has registered a complaint against you. But you don’t find this out until you
hand your passport over at passport control. So you are
stuck here.

Short, tall, skinny, white or black, how do you take it?
Part 1, by Milla Moroney
It’s 7.30am and nine days into my new life
as an expat I find myself embraced in ‘Sex
and the City 2’, a purchase recently made
from the dodgy DVD man.
What a luxury, I thought to myself, whilst
munching on my crunchy cornflakes and
slurping my cup of instant coffee. Rewind a
couple of weeks and at precisely 7.30am
you would find me speed walking down the
Cut on my way to the office on Blackfriars
Road in London, only slowing the pace
slightly to grab a white Americano from the
local Cafe Nero.
Now fast forward a couple of weeks and at
7.30am you will find me in my apartment in
Salmiya watching ‘Sex and the City 2’. I
was starting to feel a little guilty as surely I
should be doing something more productive
with my time, like looking for a job. Okay,
no problem I thought, let’s treat this as
‘Research’. If you have seen the ‘Sex and
the City 2’ you know that the movie is set
in Abu Dhabi, after Samantha is introduced
to a Sheikh in New York who then invites
her and her friends to his country – on an
all expenses paid holiday/business meeting.
Today I would be Carrie Bradshaw of Kuwait City, just doing some background research into the Gulf countries and their cultural differences. All I would need to do is

her Manolos for sandals and the New York
City Star for our very own expat publication
EEK.
Coffee shop - a centre for work, play and
people watching
So, at my first attempt of Carrie in Kuwait,
let’s talk Coffee. Okay, I am not interested
in whether you prefer it short, tall, skinny,
white or black. But I bet a KD that you are
consuming more coffee now than before
you arrived here, (unless you’re Finnish,
the crazy Nordic nation consumes 12kg of
the lovely fragrant bean per capita making
it the world’s biggest consumer each year).
My first impressions are that the Coffee
Culture is an integral part of the Kuwaiti
everyday life, and I should not be surprised
considering that the formation of Coffee
Culture and coffeehouses dates back to
14th century Turkey. The cafes have always been an important part of Arabic history and they have served as social hubs,
as well as artistic and intellectual centres.
During the 16th-century coffeehouses were
banned in Mecca because they attracted
political gatherings.
Today, the coffee shops continue to be venues where people gather to talk, write,
read, entertain one another, pass the time
or indeed do business.
Coffee Culture in Kuwait
If you have seen the ‘Sex and the City 2’
movie, you probably agree that the way the
Arab world is portrayed on the film is admittedly hilarious and the girls’ knowledge
of the Arab world is somewhat naive, but it
is supposed to be funny after all it is entertainment. During the film I kept thinking to
myself ‘this is so ridiculous I know so much
better’ but in reality, do I? And if so why
do I get nervous of accepting an invitation
for a cup of coffee?
It’s always good to know few facts and with
that I mean that coffeehouses are meeting
places. But surely sometimes just knowing
a few facts isn’t enough when you throw in
the cultural differences.
Whilst still in the UK I managed to make a
few contacts here in Kuwait, mainly through
job applications and LinkedIn. The correspondence I received was always very polite, helpful and professional. After a string
of emails having established that I was relocating to Kuwait to join my husband and I
would be looking for work, all my contacts
would finish the email saying something
along the lines of; Let’s meet up for a coffee once you get here, here’s my number,
ring me...The Technology community is
very small in Kuwait, they are all my
friends, let’s discuss over a coffee...I will
introduce you to my contacts, let’s have
coffee.
Every possible future meeting seemed to be
taking place in a coffee shop. It is very
black and white, right? Just like coffee.
This is where it gets syrupy
Now, here’s the tricky bit, if I would go for
a coffee with a male colleague in the UK, it
would soon have the tongues wagging.
Nonetheless, I would not even flinch or
consider twice whether I should go for a
coffee with some of my male colleagues
and will normally be the first to offer.
However, now 3000 miles away and still
baffled by these invitations I was uncertain
whether I should accept. It just seemed a
bit unusual to be invited to an informal environment such as a coffeehouse to discuss
employment opportunities. As an educated
and well travelled western woman, I have
found myself questioning these invitations.
Is it safe? Can I meet up with a man in
public? Should I ask my husband to come
along and sit in another table as a back up?
Okay, that’s a bit extreme but I do think
that these are valid points. Back at home I
would meet my best friends for a coffee but
not a stranger as the surroundings would
seem too intimate and relaxed. I guess it’s
not so much being safe, the issue here is
that I do not want to create the wrong impression.
I wonder what Carrie would do would she
put her career before her fears?

Doug Niblack recently
tried catching a last
wave before setting of
for work when his
board hit something
hard off the Oregon
Coast. Looking down
he found himself
standing on the back
of a thrashing great
white shark! Dude,
way to go dude!
He could see a dorsal fin
in front of his feet as he
stood on what he describes as “three meters
of shark-back as wide as
my surfboard and as
black as my wetsuit”.
The several seconds Niblack spent on the back of
the great white off Seaside, Oregon, was a rare
encounter, though not
unprecedented, according to Ralph Collier,

Dear EEK!,
As promised a couple of photos and a few
words about "The Avenue of the Giants" (click) , Northern California.
It is an incredible 31 mile drive along a narrow road (old highway 101), which meanders through an amazing Giant Redwood
forest.
The trees really have to be seen to be believed as it is impossible to do their majesty
and magnitude justice in words and pictures. If you ever get the opportunity to
see them, take it as it will be well worth
your while.
Pete.

2011 ISACK champions, and KES’s sixth championship. Well done lads!
the most points KES has ever had in a
championship game and defeated a talented BSK squad. This is the sixth basketball championship in ten seasons for the
Under 19 team.
Their story, however, begins two seasons
ago when inexperience and uncertainty
were lost to HARD WORK, COMPETITIVENESS and INTENSITY! The focus of this
season was to continue raising standards
and expect championship play consistently,
both individually and of teammates. Coach
Quinn feels that this team ranks up there
The Open Age Boys Basketball Team has
had a terrific year! For the third season in a among the hardest working group in his 11
years at KES. They averaged 50 points per
row they played in the ISACK final against
archrival BSK. Dedicating the final to all the game and allowed a measly 23.6 points.
KES dominated every opponent using an

Issue #3 11/2011
Congratulations to the Open Age Boys Basketball Team. They made it to the ISACK final against
BSK for the third straight season and proved that hard work and determination pay off as they
captured KES’s sixth championship.
pressure; forcing numerous turnovers and
scoring like a ‘pack of wolves’ in transition.
This success took the better part of the
past two seasons to develop. After disappointing finishes in two ISACK finals, Coach
Quinn and the nucleus of his team dedicated themselves to improving. After the
season finished in November 2010, the
team stayed together and practiced for
most of the school year. They entered the
GUST high school league and played
against some of Kuwait’s best teams. After
a shaky start the team gained confidence in
a near comeback victory over American
International School (AIS). The team focused on fundamentals and continued to
improve by playing a series of games
against Bayan Bilingual School (BBS) and
Universal American School (UAS). Once the
2011 season started, there were noticeable
differences.
KES has the potential players to dominate
ISACK for years to come but need to adopt
a championship attitude and PREPARE for
success by working on skills and fitness,
before, during and after the season. With
so few players returning next year opportunities for playing time will be abundant, but
only for the few that make it happen.
