Sitting at home and nothing to do always make me open back all my banking statement and look at the numbers. And it seem after merely two year working in QP I don't have much saving as well and was wondering where are my money gone to. So I started adding all the number out debit from my statement although I can't really recall every spending that I did. So the total sum was pretty scary despite I am at Qatar yet I spend so much in Malaysia...... on average I spend about 5000 a month which I seriously don't really believe but then that's what the number shown. I guess I have too many bills and insurance to pay... Probably the next trip back I have reduce some of my liquidity and gain more tangible asset.
More shopping and probably the last....
Yeah,, I bought more things and is something I wanted to get for a while ago just that I am waiting for the price to drop. It is a hard case luggage bag actually. I wanted or needed one as each time I return back from Malaysia I know when I open my current soft case luggage bag, all the food will be smashed. SO patience does it, I actually wanted to buy this since April and I was delaying and out of sudden the price of the bag hike additional QR100. Being in Qatar for a while I know there will be sales again I am not gonna pay additional QR100 that time.
So I got 2.... yup TWO 28 inch hard case luggage bag as 26 inch is just QR30 then might as well I get a bigger one and if my family member want to use they can borrow it as well. Until today my family member all are using soft case bag, I don't know why as I have weight the bag of both type and it seems latest polycarbonate (hard case) bag ain't that heavy compare of soft case. Only advantage is you can expand the bag if you need to.
Oh yeah, this probably not the last thing I will buy, still have to buy some stuff for my mom when I get back, OLIVE OIL as is cheaper here and some hand made soap... oops I bought that also.. pricey soap.

Summer Shopping
Summer is official arrived in Doha and with that so as sales. Summer sales in Middle East are the biggest event because retailer will give offers in order to lure people to come out into the blazing sun. Typically such event doesn't impact me although I admit I get lure to nice thing all the time and always wanted to buy this and that when I see the price is cheap and this happen even I shop for grocery too :)
So this year summer sales what do I bought? I repeated things :( sadly is inevitable. Well back at Malaysia at last trip I bought a hydration bag to my jog during the summer time here in Doha and I was unlucky that the bladder leaks the first time I used it. So I decided to patch the leak myself by heat the bladder and the bag will melt and seal the leak which it works and I used for the next day but problem is when I drank from it the water taste funny, which I decided not to use it as worried about poisoned from dioxin and so I decided not to use it anymore. I did contact the seller and he agree to change but I not sure if he change after seeing the patch that I did, if it doesn't then I will buy a hydrapak bladder and use in the Deuter bag. By the way, I bought an imitate Deuter bag. Lesson learn. buy ORIGINAL! The bag is still in good condition and it fits well.
While I can't wait for the exchange until I go back, there is sales at Go Sport Qatar and I found a reasonable hydration bag from Camelbak. Its original price was QR 550 and is on sale for QR290. Although it is not cheaper than Malaysia as is pretty much the same still I go and bought it. The model is Camelbak Mule with 3 liters Camelbak Antidote reservoir. The bags fits well and carrying a 3 liter water at my back help to increase the resistant for first 30 minutes of my run :). Overall I am happy with the bag. And for the imitate Deuter bag I will get a replacement bladder or Hydrapak bladder and use it at Malaysia then I don't have to carry it with me each time I go home. Buying a new hydration bag for Deuter bag will probably cost the same as original one. :)
