Recently the bank I am dealing with at Qatar, IBQ has a facelift on their banking account but not only that there are changes to their services too.
Last time transferring our salary would only cost QR15 and the rest is based on currency exchange rate which normally we will make a lost at 20% rate.. :( sucks right... so don't think I earn a lot OK?
But I notice something yesterday on their online banking site that now they have an option of us to choose MYR which I assume that our salary are directly convert from QR to MYR. Unlike last time there isn't MYR option and the safest choice is to choose USD because QR to USD are fixed at 3.65 and from there USD is converted to MYR based on Malaysia market rate.
And so not only the MYR option is available, I also saw that the currency rate stated in the website is 1 to 1 but I am not sure what is that rate applicable to. It is either for TT or cash exchange but I hope it is online TT so that we won't make a lost during currency conversion. But my worries is whether this rate is acknowledge by Malaysia bank as at this rate they won't make a profit which I doubt it will happen in banking industry.
Well, somehow we got to try it sometime and see how it is.. Adios
Cold and Lazy
It is 12AM now.. I am not too sure what time I slept earlier.. I think around 7? Was preparing to go to the gym today but suddenly I felt so tired and I doze off on the sofa and got up few moment a go... Took a shower and now I am fresh awake with 5 hours to go before going to work...
I have not been that active in gym since I am come back and start to gain back my weight.. Not sure it could be the weather that make me lazy or just an excuse I made..... It is still cold... wasn't the kind of weather expected during this time.....Even it is not as cold as Northern country with negative temperature but it still feel freaking cold at around 13 to 15 degrees at night... My feet pain when I step on the floor as I could feel the chilliness in the foot.
So far I didn't much homesick already.. but still thinking about home.. Work wise it feel kinda neutral as it is not exciting as I expected and is pretty much like what I had last year. In the end is like working for money and wait for a year to get bonus, that is what people thinks .. MONEY but somehow there are things I am missing back home...
I think here is like a trap.. once you are here is hard to decide to leave or not because as much one person hate this place they still find it hard to leave because it is not easy to find such amount of money back in Malaysia... and to be frank the money we have is more but is not a lot actually as one got to remember the living expenses is very high and being an expat in Qatar is not the same being a foreigner expat in Malaysia. So suggest one must have a target on when and how long they want to stay here and how much money they want to save when they want to go back because it ain't easy to get hire back home after you have work as an expat because those company would think you are expecting very high salary and they can't afford to hire you which is kinda sucks.

Grass is not always Greener
Finally i am back again to Doha after a month off for CNY. And this time coming back to Doha felt like I just came to Doha for the first time. I felt so home sick that I couldn't sleep for first couple of days. I not sure why but maybe I think because of the time I spend with family and close friends and things happens.
Before my return to Malaysia, a good friend of mine lost his father and maybe because of that it got me thinking about my time away from my family. Yeah, the money is good compare to Malaysia as at Malaysia it pretty hard... But because of the incident my friend facing, it kept me thinking that there are things are much greater than my salary. I may have earn a lot of money but that couldn't buy me the time I have lost with my family......
I am trying hard to find a job back home and I can't really leave this place yet as I have a target to meet. I hoping all my families and friends are healthy and safe so I get to spend my time with them when I am back and I wont regret for not able to do ........
I miss home every seconds..... For those who are reading this and if you plan to go oversea to earn better living.. well, ask yourself if you are currently have a good income and living comfortably then don't leave your country for some extra money..... in the end is not worth it..... I working on some plan to come back home soon.......
