Finally,Im showing you some love dear blog.Sorry for Ive been busy for the past 2weeks in all things,preparing,flying and adjusting to life here in Qatar.

So far,its been a real experience, from the day we touched down in Qatar…even knowing before hand that things will be different, to really adjust to reality takes some time…when I first reached here, the weather was surprisingly good,they said winter,but it was more like Malaysian weather with cold wind…little I know,that was just a disguise,winter in disguise they call it.Yesterday I felt the full extent of the winter,temperatures were down till 15cel at night, that’s damn bloody cold for a gulf country.the old less smarter me never knew Qatar had winter…hahaha,seriously thought its near the equator and stuff,surprised me.…well,now I know and so does my ass, whenever I land it on a cold steel seat.LOL.

Apart from the weather, another  thing that has startled me has been the backdrop of Qatar.saying colourless is quite misleading, I shall say,there is no colour present in Qatar other than white and silver.You can fall asleep looking at the scenary.The cars,trucks and most other vehicles are in those colors,and apart from that and the roadways,there is just sands and stones.Houses and shops are shaped like boxes.You could say qataris have very little imagination.But ive been to the city center,the sky scrapers and buildings there are just wow….and btw,those cars I was talking about…haha,they are all high end cars,seen 4hummers already on 2 visits..and yeah,you know how you have grass between the road dividers and at the side of the pavement.Here,none.Just sands and stones.white sand on top of that.ergghh! makes me miss Malaysia more.And yeah,Malaysia is a beautiful tropical country.FACT I REALIZE NOW.to be honest,more than other things that im missing,im missing trees and plants and the green grass more J

Food here has been superb, the company is really awesome,staff welfare is first class.we get the best food and very generously given too ,I help myself to some extra chicken wings at times :P

Having lunch of Malaysian food,of chicken rice and sawi,for a short while makes me feel like Im somewhere back home.thats enough for me J

Anyways,work is tough,and I have loads of learning and catching up to do.And once I get fully adjusted to lifehere,I will change to higher gears and work at full speed.

That’s all for now, will update from time to time.

Here are the list of things Im missing from back home:

Family,friends,paglu,my cat,malaysian weather,trees,grass,colourful vehicles,driving on the left,some sorts of mountains,mamak,shisha,msian television channels,people speaking malay,cha anytime of the day, guitar,my hard as rock pillow,motorbike and many more..
