Now thats what I call Qatar 9...Oh so tired....

Dear All,

I been on a bit of a sleeping marathon, last night i slept at 10:45pm (which is pretty early consdering i normally go to sleep at 12-1am) and when i got back from work i slept as well, so im certainly gettin my shift of sleeps....

I had a fairly productive day at work, did some online courses, and helped my manager/mentor with some stuff, and so was well happy with all that, and with my sleep i certainly aint complaining!!

If anyone knows how to get a counter onto my blog, because i lostmy blog counter when i re-did the whole design (still well pissed about that) and so if anyone could help then i would appreciate it!

I have been feeliing very discontent with the life over here, though it has its amazing features, like the food, the shopping, and just how comfatable you live, however the way the life is so hireacheal, and the way the people treat others is disgusting, i dont maybe this is because i am asian, and it is mainly asians whom are treated badly, they are paid like minimum wage and just treated very badly, however to the credit of the Qataris, there is some things that i think are very commendable like how they arrange iftar(breaking of the fast) for all muslims at the mosques, it allows those whom cant afford maybe to eat nicely, (though the food isnt 5* quality it isnt bad at all) and a couple of days ago I was i was in the car, at iftar time, and there was a guy handing out water and dates to break the fast at the traffic lights, which i just thought was really cool and a nice touch...
these little touches make the biggest differences, and therefore shows me the advantages of muslims living in a muslim country, HOWEVER the prime problems in muslim countries is the freedom aspect,we dont have the same kinda freedom that countires in europe do have, (i would say USA however i belive that is becoming more and more of less democratic state, where everyone is being monitored, watched and buisness is being done with the concerns of the goverment and not the people, if you ask how, well phone lines are being tapped, foreign companies are being told they cant buy this or that, (same as china and russia) and the passenger information that USA goverment wants from all planes flying in USA airspace/or landing on USA, acts like this in my opionon serverly limit the country and therefore make it much more of a theoracy as opposed to the great democratic capitalist state that it claims to be...


Google brought YouTube, which i cant quite understand however when you have that much money why the hell not!! Facebook could be sold for a 1bn, these guys, they come up with relatively simple ideas and the become million/billionaires, but it also shows how fickle the world is in my opionon, where people become Billionaires for setting up a networking website, or video website, or a telephone networking (skype) and they become billionaires, its a joke, how do thesse sites really benefit people, i mean ok Skype i do understand, it brings people together and allows people to communicate whom couldnt afford it before hand, however the other sites though much fun, i just think that people should be paying money to other kinda of ventures that do more to help people, i been reading about proverty in so many countries, and yet at the same time money is being wasted on companies likethis! im sure lots of people will disagree and this is jus the way commerce works, but oh well!

My sister and nephew are coming today to Qatar, but then are leaving to go to Kuwait, so i dont know if i will get to c them!

aneway i best go but take care of yourselves
