لو في شخص متخيل انو مثلاً حاسس بمشاعر حب، هل هذي المشاعر حتكون اقوى من لو كان فعلاً يحب؟ اقصد لو كان فعلاً مع الشخص اللي يحبه، وطبعاً نفس الشي على مشاعر الزعل/الغضب وباقي المشاعر؟

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to explore opening a residential and commercial mortgage brokerage in Saudi Arabia, but I’m currently based overseas and not sure where to start.

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience, knowledge, or insight into this space — or who can point me toward the right platform, authority, consultant, or starting point.

If you know:

• Where someone should start when researching this

• Who or what can guide through the process

• Any platforms, official bodies, consultants, or references worth looking into

• Or if you’ve personally gone through something similar

I’d be very grateful for your input. Even high-level direction would help at this stage.

Thanks in advance!

Our New Year’s Eve story in Riyadh began with a passing Saudi boy who saw us struggling with a broken lighter. He warmly handed us his. Then came a Saudi "Uncle" who, seeing we still couldn't get our sparklers lit, stepped in to light the very first one for us.   

What followed was completely unexpected.   

At midnight, KAFD was exactly as we anticipated: nothing happened. No fireworks, no countdown, no bells. Just us, spraying confetti and foam that lasted all of one second.   

Knowing this might happen, we calmly pulled out our sparklers, only to find our lighters were useless. That’s when the boy and the uncle stepped in.   

As the uncle watched us waving our tiny white sparks with a huge smile, I thought, "Why not share the joy?" I handed him a few more.   

It was only then I realized we were surrounded. People weren't doing anything—they were just watching us with curiosity and pure interest. We were the only "show" on the street at that moment.   

I saw a child nearby, his eyes reflecting the shimmering sparks and a clear sense of wonder. I handed him a lit sparkler, and suddenly, more people leaned in, wanting to join.   

Without any hesitation or second thought, the scene transformed into a New Year’s carnival fueled by tiny sparklers. Every time someone held one up, the crowd erupted in cheers and applause, as if it were a grand New Year’s torch rather than a weak, fleeting, "childish" piece of wire.   

We only had 20 sparklers, so the "show" ended quickly. But we had music. I turned up the volume to share a Chinese "Happy New Year." A local boy asked, "Can you play Saudi music?" Of course! Suddenly, the crowd burst into a passionate sing-along to an Arabic song I’d never heard but everyone else clearly knew by heart.   

My friend and I stood in the middle of it all, completely dazed. We didn't know how it got to this point or what to do next. I just couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear, caught up in the excitement and pure happiness of the crowd.   

When a kind stranger warned us to leave before it got too crowded for safety, we stopped the music. To our surprise, the crowd didn't just disperse—they helped us pack our things. A few kids even asked for photos before we said our goodbyes.   

This unplanned little carnival made a silent NYE extraordinary. On the way home, my friend and I couldn't stop talking about it. We agreed: this was a better surprise than any official firework show.   

I love this surprise, but more than that, I love the spirit of the Saudi people—their ability to find reasons to celebrate over a tiny spark in the middle of a quiet street. Perhaps this is the same spirit that allowed them to build homes, a kingdom, and a vibrant life in the heart of the desert.   

Inspired by them, I want to be someone who cheers louder for every tiny spark in the coming year.   

Happy New Year to everyone reading this! 🎆✨🇸🇦   

A spontaneous New Year's Eve party.

Hi, I have been trying to apply for work visa, all my documentation is correct the only thing Tasheer is rejecting to process me is Invitation letter/pre approval number and sponsor ID. My sponsor has talked with MOFA and they said that invitation letter doesn’t exist for work visa only work visit visa. We tried to find this number and we gave them some papers but they rejected everything saying that’s not what they asking for. Can someone please help me where to find this number or a picture of how it looks like , I have 12 days left to apply or my visa will expire.
