Now that's What I call Qatar 41: Hypocritical Asif...

Dear All,

how goes things?

I been pretty busy with work, I have decided to start taking a more active role at work, and have been given 2 roles, so therefore have almost double the workload, but its a good sign as they think I can handle it. On top of that, I am participating in Six Sigma tasks, which is looking at ways to make the company more efficient in its process, and on top of that I am part of this competition called Merit, where teams all over the world compete to run a virtual construction company. Its a awesome, idea, and really cool, its hard work as is all the other things but means im alot more busier and therefore I appreciate my time off a lot more. Along with all this work, is my new football, table tennis and gym routine and to make it the tri-factor,I am trying to become more religious. Doing all this makes me feel really good about myself, and I am happy with the way my life is going. It makes me thing of how meaningless life was at uni, I mean it was great sleeping til 2pm going to sleep at 5am every night, doing what the hell I wanted when I wanted, there was no real constraints, however now there is and though at times I think about my student days, to be honest im glad its over. Especially during exam time, it was so hard, so much pressure, I mean theres pressure at work but that feeling of walking into a exam and knowing that if u fcuk up ur future cud be over...arrrr jus thinkin of the feeeling shits me!

My flatmate moved out of the apartments last week,into a villa wit a couple of the other boyz(women+men not married or related can not live together so theres no co-ed houses in Qatar!) its pretty nice apartment, and the accommodation here though expensive is really spacious especially compared to London.So now im living alone, well not alone,I obviously have my spiritual friend, Dr Jinn..its fcuked seriously, so much crazy stuff happens, wouldn't surprise if like the scene out of the Exorcist with the girl occurs one night, well messed up situation. I bet they probably built it on some burial ground the damn Arabs.

Talking of Aaaarabs, they been generally pissin me off lately, its mainly to do with their driving, but im weird as when someone else pisses em off I get the feeling there being racist bastardos but when I do im bein fair, its so hypricitical of me I know, but feels like im not cuz im muslim and allowed to diss em, its very ironic and I dont feel im the only one, as many people I know find it approiate to make critisms of things but if someone else says something then they are quick to dismiss it and maybe even become hostile to it, and I guess im like of those hypocritical knobs...
Aneway back to my hating of arabs, well it sometimes complexes me, I mean to be honest I have such a negative view of them and their manners and common sense,however once in a while you meet a well manaered logical thinkin Arab that makes u think they aint all dat bad, then after meeting one within 2 mins ull meet one of the knobs who drive like a mad-man and who have no respect for those around them.
It makes me think wot wud Bangladesh be like if they had the oil reserves of the gulf, would they show more humility or less, would they be more generous or less, its always quick to show faults in the gulf countries but makes u think that if another country were put in Saudis shoes how wud they behave.

The fact that Saudi has its huge oil reserve in a weird way has always made me belive in Islam more, I mean Mecca and Medina would never be as nice or as large as they are if Saudi couldnt afford it, they wouldnt have the infrastructure in place to accommodate millions of pilgrims every year without oil money, I know its a rather lame reason so base your faith on, however to me I think natural resources are placed by God for specific reasons in specific places,and we dont always know, however I know without being the no.1 oil producer in the world Islam under Saudis governance wouldnt be as big as it is now. Im not the biggest fan of Saudi to be honest and I will be writing a piece soon on the shia vs sunni beef that is engulfing the region and soon to be world but I have to give credit where credit is due and appreciate what Saudi has done for Islam...(again even though I dont agree with alot of it!)

Aneway thats enuff from my

Ziffa ( my nickname given to me by my french teacher back in high school)
