We took a quick road trip to Khafji in KSA for the sole purpose of two reasons: 1- Find the book Hind wal 3askar i am searching for and 2- Visit Hungry Bunny for a nostalgic childhood meal… Directions? Take 6reej el shalehat, road 30 or 40 i am not sure, go straight straight until [...]

Once upon a time very long ago, we gathered in the tent in front of the dowwa in the then freezing Q8y winter… one of my aunts would bring a little pan (moqla)… mix some eggs milk saffron cardamom & flour with sugar, then pour the mix into the pan and over the coal she would make [...]

While shopping in Selfridges London i saw these Retro Timex watches being sold. They reminded me of the casio watches from the late 80′s and early 90′s when people dreamed of having a watch that is also a phone… something like the little girl from the cartoon Inspector Gadget used to have Now the gold, [...]

I saw this Toy Story Woody Cowboy Costume the other day and i immediately went back in time to the early 90′s! I have a cousin who was a woody fanatic (yes A. that’s you ) and he had a similar costume back then that he adored! I cannot look at the woody suit without remembering [...]

Another collection of books right out of the past is now available for sale in the garage sale section of ChillPillBox.com I remember the Manara Bookshop and saving up to buy those little horror books… they were horrifying indeed and i still prefer them to Adult horror books to be frank. I kept my most [...]

OMG! I can’t believe i have totally forgotten about this show! I remember watching it in the UK during the invasion on Kuwait! Me & My siblings LOVED IT! Then they brought it over to KTV2 and it was again even more fun… the games were actually fun and they would collect crystals and then [...]

I have been decluttering lately when i dug into an old dusty box and found these! OMG! i remember how crazy we were about these when we were kids -and teenagers!- i remember going to from one Co-Op to another, looking at the little orange boxes sold in the kolaf store and trying to choose [...]
