About The Kuwaiti Godfather

The names 'The Kuwaiti Godfather' also can be seen in some comments as 'TKG'

I have seen this on some other blogs (well here) and since I have a lot I want my readers to know about me I decided why not try it. I'm new to blogging though I have had this blog for a while just sitting around :D I'm still working on the kinks of setting it up so bare with me ;)

1- I'm half British from my dad's side. He was born in Malawi though ... weird I know
2- The other half is South African from my mum's side. Mum's smart and cool which is why I'm very proud of her. I do have some of her traits but unfortunately my looks I gained from my dad.
3- I was born in Kuwait during the Gulf War on the 18th of August 1990 at Farwaniya Hospital. I hear that there weren't any doctors helping women out who were in labor though I was lucky that day and time since it was like an angel came to my mums rescue and left. Lucky me :p
4- I have been through torture when I was a kid and yeah when I say torture I mean it i.e. tied up, tortured, beaten up, locked in rooms for more than hours maybe even days .... burnt once .... left on the side of the road .... slapped around for no reason .... guess dad wasn't perfect and am so luck he is no longer in my life.
5- After parents separation, I lived with mum ... I was raised by the kindest and best man I have ever met who loved me. He was Saudi and a Bedouin and I learnt a lot from him. I considered him my dad and I keep talking in past tense because unfortunately he passed away.
6- That  was the saddest day of my life. Felt my heart was ripped out of my chest.
7- Ancestral background - Indian > I know culturally I don't fit in anywhere and that I can forget about heritage.
8- Also I'm a 'Bani Adam' just like the rest of Man kind. I hate racism and discrimination.
9- I treat people the way I prefer to be treated ;D
10- Wish I was Kuwaiti so i wouldn't confuse everyone where I'm from. I look Arab but I am not.
11- I'm a caring person, always try to be a gentleman
12- Peace is a better solution than violence though if it comes down to war I stand my ground.
13- Interested in ethical business practices that are unique to find on this side of the World.
14- Patriotic to Kuwait no matter where it states I come from since there is a lot that I've been through in Kuwait. A lot of history
15- Although I prefer everything to go my way or it's the highway :p I like working in teams as it can reduce the pressure as work loads can get very heavy.
16- Currently I study at the Australian College of Kuwait. I am studying Business Management in the Degree Department. I graduated from the Australian College of Kuwait and it is time to look for a job and start my life.
17- I love kids as they are so cute. Also a kid always smiles and is happy (unless they are crying) therefore they make me happy too.
18- Yeah I'm chubby but that shouldn't stop you from getting to know me. I believe that a person can change the way they look but not the way they think or feel easily.
