Looking forward to see more design and art gallery in the airport as well as the smooth operation of getting check in, passport control and security check.
Hamad International Airport
Visited HIA not too long ago... soon after their soft launch. I went there to see how thing operate so that I won't get lost or confuse when I am flying out next week. As I was only visiting there I can only visit departure and arrival lobby. Overall it is a tremendous change compare DIA. It really look like any other airport. The design is beautiful and I like the landscaping surrounding the airport.
Looking forward to see more design and art gallery in the airport as well as the smooth operation of getting check in, passport control and security check.

CHANGE of QATARI Labor Law
The most anticipated new for Qatar residents was announced yesterday. The change of the Kafala system. Here are some of the changes I read on the net and some question I have...
Currently so called Kafala sponsorship has been abolished and employer and employee will be protected through using contract. One can now change job after completing his / hers contract but one can't do that in the middle of the contract. Therefore the seeking NOC is still there just now it has a duration. As for one current or will be on a permanent / non contract job same thing apply and far worst they need to wait for 5 years after they complete their service to change job. So basically I really don't see a HUGE different or any differences because back in other emerging country one can change job whether they are on contract or not by just quitting their current job and they would only need to pay their employer if they did not serve the notice period.
The 2 years ban after your left Qatar will be abolish but that statement is just too general. What if someone quit his job and leave the country and come back for a new job the very following month? so how does the completing 5 years / contract duration rules come into the picture?
Exit Permit. Well this is only thing that I am concerned about. Sad to say the exit permit still there likewise for the NOC thingy I wrote earlier. One now need to apply themselves for EP through the government mobile apps Metrash2 or maybe Hukoomi and employers have 72 hours to dispute with a valid reason. I see potential issue with this process as the following;
1) What about the employee who current being told that they can only go for vacation after 2 years of service?
2) What is the lead time you need to apply for EP before your departure date? I am expecting 5 days to be safe. The process now would probably go like this.
Employee > Metrash 2 > (how employer know you applied.?) > employer acknowledge > MOI > employer (if there is dispute) and the cycle continues.
3) Are they expecting people with lower income such as laborers have access to Internet / smartphone ?
These are some of my curiosity of the changes to take place and hope they will provide more clearer process about it and yeah they have not announce when the change will be implemented. In the end, there is nothing much to complain about as these issue has been ongoing for many years and it is a known thing and like what most people says if you can't take it then look for another alternative. Is just like when a man or women sign up to become a soldier and knowing that the job would get them killed.

Arts of giving
I know this post is contradict my with previous post "sakai". I was furious at that time when I post that and I know it is wrong.
Why I post this now, well It has been a while I have not listen to the teaching of Ajahn Brahm. His recent talks on "how to keep giving without reward" and so how? What is the answer?
To keep it short, is simple.. KINDNESS.
So I forgive him and forgive myself for being upset and only to continue what I doing as a favor and kindness to all.

Mother’s Day Joke
Back in London, there are 4 mothers having an afternoon coffee
at a coffee shop. The first mother went by saying
1st mother: Today I am buying, I am celebrating.
My son has become a priest. I am so proud of him. Now everybody in his church
will bow and call him Father
2ns mother : Ahhh
that’s nothing. My son became a priest 10 years ago. Now he is a bishop. Now everyone
in the church will kneel on knee and kiss on his ring and call him ‘Your Grace’
I so proud of him
3rd mother: Only a bishop? My son was a bishop 5
years ago and he is now a cardinal. Now when he go into the church, everyone
will kneel on both knee and call him ‘Your Eminence ‘
Then all 3 mothers look at the 4th mothers. She finishes
her tea and say
4th mother: Ahh, this is nothing. My son never
joins any church. He joins the national football team. He is 6ft 4 inches tall
and obviously good looking. Every time when he goes into a room, all girls will
go down on the floor and go Oh my God, Oh my God! I am so proud of him…
Happy Mothers Day
