It has been quite sometime I didn't update my blog. I have been back home for almost a month and to be exact it is another few days more before I return back to Doha. Well there is pretty much a lot of things to do and definitely a lot of food to eat as well. To cut the entire month story short I would just summarize it here as most of the places I go and food that I ate I post it as a picture blog on my Facebook account.
So I have been eating pork... Bak Kut Teh that is for sure.... accompany my family and friends, been to Desaru, which is really fun, went to Singapore for my niece birthday which is very enjoyable and most of all I got to spend quality time with my family...
The feeling of going back.... hmmm it is a mixed feeling since I had been at Doha and therefore I am able to compare the life here and there and I would say it is a mixed feeling. I miss both places actually mainly is both have its pros and cons.. Malaysia well I guess the only thing that will attract me is the triple F which is family, friends and food/ Back in Doha, I guess is the opportunity that I have which I do not want to waste it. I know it is not easy to get a job at oversea and that is why it make to cherish it more and furthermore I can't find a job which allow me to bring me closer to reach my goal.
Despite the life is Doha is boring, but then I am pretty numb about it as trying to put my focus to my work and my goal. Yet, of course I do miss home from time to time and there are things to be sorted out as well.
I still do not know or quite sure where is my life direction is heading... as now I am just aiming to reach my goal and unable to think so much about getting a GF and starting a family as it is complicated and I am bad at it and pretty much I am in the position of wait and see.
While I am back a lot of people asking me how long I will be in Doha, frankly I have no idea... I seen some expat being at Doha for 5 years or so and maybe I do the same or maybe much earlier. It all depends when I have a secure income back in Malaysia.
Till then.....
Lonely for 14 hours
It is 14 hours more before I board my flight back home :). I just send my friend to the airport just now as he is heading home today and last week a couple of friends went back too. I am the last person in the gang to go home and the feeling is a bit lonely although is nothing much but the effect is there. :P
So buckle up, pack up and ready for adventure.... now going to Malaysia is like vacation. :P

I killed a pigeon accidentally
Today, on my way to work, I accidentally killed on pigeon. While driving, I saw a flock of birds was on the road feeding on rice or seeds. So I slow down and hopefully that the bird will fly away when the car come close. So while I am slowing down my car, there is a car beside which also slow down to and moved to the right lane of the road.
So there is one particular who doesn't move even my car is inches away from him (assume is male BIRD so lets call him KUKUCIAU). As my car getting closer, I know I am going to squash KUKUCIAU as I can't go to the right lane as there are other car beside me. So I heard the sound and felt the bump that I try to avoid ..BUMP BUMP... and it is a direct hit. KUKUCIAU got smash and its feathers fill up the morning sky..... and it got me so piss off because today is 1st day of month 8 of lunar calendar. I suppose to be eating vegetarian food and yet I killed a bird.
Stupid lazy bird... now I noticed that there are also middle east type of pigeon........ I don't have any idea why that bird don't move at all. Either is damn lazy or he think he is invisible but what ever the reason was now there is NO KUKUCIAU .....
God have mercy on this poor bird, shall he go peacefully without pain. Forgive me for naming him or she KUKUCIAU and ending his life at middle east but in a way he don't have to suffer the soaring heat of 50 degrees anymore.

Doha moving too fast?
Today local news headline stated Qatar is now bidding for 2020 Olympics game after they successfully won the bid for World Cup which boost up their confident. They also bidding to host Tour de France 2016 which I do not know when it is going to be held.
Anyway, this is a good thing as the whole world will recognize Qatar which they already did since they won the bid or WC2020 and with the alleged bribe conspiracy. The Government have very good vision and with the unlimited billions of wealth that they have, they can practically do anything to make Arab world visible.
You be crazy to find out the amount of money that they have. Dubai, was... then Abu Dhabi...... Now Saudi is building the world tallest tower 1KM high? and I bet Qatar will do the same... it is just a matter of time and before that happen Qatar already building world largest mall and I tell you it is world largest mall. It is 8KM long and can fit 110 football field which should be ready next year. Although all these countries are Arab country but they kinda don't get along that much mainly I personally think is due to politics. It is also a way to show each other how much money that they have.
Most of these oil country are diversify their investment and do no want sole dependent on their oil and gas revenue for their country. Therefore you see so much of the development and in the end I think Qatar would be another Dubai but a better manage version of it.
I love to see this happening and hoping able to experience it while I am still working here but personally I feel they are moving too fast because the problem is the people who are executing the job which makes thing so much difficult and probably impossible. If they want thing to go smoothly use the wealth you have and hire tons and tons of "RIGHT" expat to do the job. Not all expat can do the job right as I have been working with them and most of them are. hmm hai speechless....
I hope the government to control the development in terns of investment and socially because if it turn out to be Dubai which is pretty not safe for even a girl to walk alone. Qatar right now is very safe and I like it very much.
What Qatar need to do now, is to get rid of those old expat which really doesn't fit to do the job because most of them are rich and have other incomes which make them don't care about their actual job. All they want is to be in a high position of a company in order to have a saying power and status. But do they have the right mindset and skillset? NOPE.... but recently I see things are changing so let see and wait and hope for the greater day.....
Key word of the day
BOOST PRODUCTIVITY. OPEN CONCEPT. TRANSPARENCY.
Qatarization is not a good idea as it doesn't help to improve competition and competition bring innovation.

Qatarization is a similar concept as Malaysia bumiputra as the local citizen will get special privilege. The only different is Qatarization apply to call their citizen while bumiputra is only applied to the Malaysian - Malay race and not others. So much for the 1Malaysia concept.
