Happy Dumpling Festival (端午节快乐）

If I not mistaken, this year is the 3rd time in a row that i couldn't enjoy this festival in Malaysia.

Not in Malaysia=no dumplings for me=great lose for this delicious, unique food especially for this festival.

Anyway, today not really in the good mood. Last night watched the football match and my favourite team lost. Sigh......In addition, not enough sleep today. Feeling sleepy and tired in the office. Somemore no dumplings for me today....haiz.......................

The good news is i can start counting down the days to return to Malaysia....Yeah yeah!!!!

(34 days to go...hu hu hu........) ;)

Anxious day

Today i have 2 things to announce here...hehehe.....This morning just came to office, I received a mail from my boss that asked me when i finish my job and return to Malaysia.

Well....This is the question I am always looking for and bothering me all this while. (My contract have been extended twice already....sigh...) My contract is scheduled to finish the job by end of June and i am planning to submit the application form for demobilization by next week. Since this is a good excuse for me to submit the form earlier.

By the time I wanna get the signature from my manager, I am so worried that he will ask me to extend my work here again. This whole morning, i am so anxious and scared he will changed his mind again. Since he was so busy and couldn't catch him, I having this anxious feeling till noon.

Finally, i am able to get him to approve my application form. He is a bit surprise when saw me pass the form to him. He thought i will not demobilized that soon and i was worried he is changing his mind again. After he checked his manning plan, he finally signed and thanked me for my efforts on this project. Hehehe....finally, i am released now.....Hurray!!!!! From now on, I can start counting down my days to back home lor......=)

Second thing that make me anxious is that tonight will be an important night especially for every Man Utd fans.....Yes......Is Europe Champion League Final in Rome tonight!!! Luckily i am not in Malaysia now. I can watch the live match on TV here at 9.45pm (2.45am in Msia time). I still managed to catch the match without sacrify my sleeping time...hehehehehe.....As a Man Utd fan, sure i would like the watch my team to clinch and defend the title but I cant underestimate the talents from Barca.....I can't wait the time to come. Now can't even concentrate my work and just hoping to go home for the match. Lol.....Glory Man Utd!!!!

Basketball game and happy hour!!

Last thursday, I had an all japanese basketball game. Our project (QGX) team versus QCS team. All members are japanese except me. Lol....

Actually it was just a friendly match. In spite of my team is too good, handicap is given to opponent team. Every ball we threw is 2 points while they can have 3 points ( last quarter of the game they have 5 points for every successful threw).

Needless say, my team won the game. If i not mistaken, the final score was 88-51. After the game, we went for happy hour. Of course the drink was on the opponent's bill. Lol.

We had KFC and pizza as our dinner and from the picture below, you can see how much we drank during that night. Lol. One bottle of gin, 2 bottles of JDBL, and countless of beers. Before i left and excused myself, I remembered they ordered another bottle of JDBL for another round. I am not a good drinker so i left early after that.

Anyway, it was a happy day as we played a good game and nice gathering for chit-chating. Although i don't understand japanese and whole night they all speaking japanese to themselves, but i still happy to be with them as some of them still managed to speak to me in english. Hahahaha....Luckily i am not like an idiot just sitting at the corner, eat and drink alone. Hahaha. Hopefully i still able to attend several this kind of occasions before demobilize from this project by end of next month. :)

To complete this blog, let my buddies to show their funny faces here. Lol.....Enjoy reading!!! ;)

Dinner At Marriot Hotel, Doha

Last thursday went to dinner with my basketball mates in a restaurant located inside a 5-star hotel (Marriot Hotel in Doha). Before I went to the restaurant, i already expected that the bill for the dinner will be very expensive. Anyway, i will let you know how much we spent on that dinner at the end of this blog later.

This is the name of the restaurant (Asia Live)

Let us check the menu first. Wow..... QR 29 for just a bowl of misu soup. (Conversion QR1 is approximately to RM1). Tomyam soup also QR29.

Now this is really surprised me. Yong Chow Fried Rice is cost QR69!!! Nasi goreng and Singapore noodles also cost QR59 each. Unbeliveable!!!! I managed get the same dishes in malaysia for around RM6-10 a plate. Well. I can't deny that the quality of food is not below par but it isn't amazed me though. You can see the steamed rice can cost QR19. Although we didn't order that but i just wonder is it the rice cooked especially for VVIP? =='''

This is another part of the menu. Feel free take a look by yourself. Maybe i am poor, that's why i find it everything is expensive to me.


The picture below is not so clear and is taken by my colleague. I asked him to take this picture because wanna show to everyone how expensive the softdrink is. It is QR 18!!! and the Redbull is cost QR29!!!! Hahaha.....Really unexpected!!!!


Anyway, that day, there are total 7 of us. Before i reached the place, they already ordered and i just went there to eat....Lol. When the dishes are served, i just realized they ordered 2 set for each dishes. If i not mistaken, let me list down what we ordered on that night.


1) Seafood springroll - 2 set (appetizer)
2) 2 different set of sushi - 2 set (which mean total 4 set)
3) Yong Chow fried rice - 2 set
4) Singapore noodle - 2 set
5) Sweet n sour prawns - 2 set
6) Sesame prawns - 2 set
7) fish - 2 set (can't recall the name)
8) Greentea ice-cream - 4 set (this is the best ice-cream i ever had so far) ^^
9) Countless beers (they are really good drinkers)

From the picture shown below, u can see a fork lying on the singapore noodle. That already cost you QR59. You can imagine the plate size and the cost of it. Sigh. This is my first time to take a very fine dinner like this. *Sorry for not taken the pictures before we started our dinner as i don't have camera but my hp only. My hp is out of battery by that time. So i requested my colleague to take the picture for me*


Ding Ding Ding! THis is the green tea ice cream that i mentioned just now. I haven't have chance to take the picture before everyone start eating. Hahahaha....The picture shown it might not be look that delicious but indeed it really taste good. Really smooth enough and you seem not like eating "ice" but a smooth tasty creamy green tea. Hahaha....i am not good in english. hard to elaborate. In short, is delicious!!!

Ok. Now is time to announce how much we spent on this dinner.....Ding ding ding ding.......It is QR2444!!!!!

Before we left, my colleague purposely took this picture for remembrance in the toilet. =='''

Complex feeling

Today is 12th May. Another one month from today will be my "2x"th birthday. Sigh. This will be the 2nd time I need to celebrate my birthday alone outside Malaysia. Every year i never expect any celebration for my birthday. A bit sad. I am always hoping a lot of friends remember my birthday and celebrate with me but in vain.

Anyway, that is just part of my complex feeling today. Sigh. Still have 1 and half month to stay in Qatar for the project. Hopefully i can finish it on time and go back to KL as per schedule. I don't want to extend again and again for this project. Getting bored now. Sigh. I am just wondering when i can return to KL. The submission date for those deliverables are postponed again. Shit. No one can assure my demobilization date, neither my boss nor my manager here.

Now i don't know how to spend the time here. Counting down the day to back now but it seem very slow. Seem long way to go. Still have 7 weeks= 49 days = 1176 hours before pack up my stuffs to go home. Somemore i know many of my friends and family waiting me. I really miss them. Hopefully my next project won't ask me to go outstation for long period again as I really will get home sick.

My Watch from Doha Shopping

Yesterday I went to shopping again with my buddies (Obi and Karube-san). Initially 3 of us planned to buy our new basketball shoes as our current shoes are harshly damaged due to the rough surface of the basketball court.

In fact, i am still considering whether to buy a new one or not. Basketball shoe is not cheap, at least RM200 and above. I still have 2 months staying in Qatar for the project which mean i have that period to play basketball with them only. After i back to Malaysia, i don't think i will continue playing this sport as i have no "kaki" to join me. All my ex-mates are become "uncles" already and i don't think they want to play this kind of "extreme" sport. Lol.

Anyway, my dude (Obi) managed to get his new shoe (AND1) but Karube-san not able to get his new shoe. Actually i have tempted to get a new pair for myself but both of us failed to get one due to the limited choices there. Sigh.

Although i didn't manage to get new shoe, but i ended up buy a new watch for myself! :P Actually i have this desire to get myself a G-Shock since i was young. But i was poor and not able to get this kind of luxury stuff.

And finally i can have an ivory G-Shock. Yeah Yeah!!!! There is some normal standard functions in this watch such as alarm, stopwatch, countdown timer and world time. The interesting function within the watch is auto-on the backlight. Normally the backlight will emit when u press the button from the watch manually. But this watch can let you to set it to auto mode for the backlight. When it is in auto mode, you just need to twist your wrist to take a look on the watch. The backlight will automatically emitted. It sounds interesting and fun to me. :)

Here are the pictures for my new collection. I like black and white colour. This is my second luxury watches for myself. My first one is Seiko which is in black. Hehehehehe.....
