I thought I fucked my life up again when i was 19

Ok you would think after my experience when i was 17 it wouldnt happen again but then 1st yr of uni happened and here it went all over again, i was wasting my life away except this time no1 was around to tell me, so it got worse, however lucky for me I wasnt on the right degree for me, and so by chance it worked out and i switches and now thank Allah i have managed to get a grip of my life once again and this time its firmly on the ground....

There you have it the life of Sheikh Asif Mahmood

I fucked up my life when I was 17

For those who didnt know me back then, i majorly fucked up my life, I got decent GCSES after being on the road to medioreism, then at teh start of lower 6th when most people are canning the work to get good offers for uni i was fuckin about, and jus wasting my life away, and came very close to getting thrown out of MGS, thank Allah i didnt and manage to get my life back on track, but it was easily one of the worst years of my life....

R+R 2

All,

I have returned supposedly rested and relaxed though i got little of both whilst I was back in the UK, i did have a awesome time though! I dont understand people who say like if they were loaded like from a lottery they would continue to work, the best thing is when you can jus go out do what you want and when you want and dont worry about things like fiances or when you got to be in bed for or wake up for, thats what R+Rs are like, i just do what i want and when i want and its so liberating and as im working i dont need to really worry bout the finances!

Anyway will update more later on!

Now Thats What I Call Qatar 74: The 250million pound man

Its only one and half weeks till im back in blighty!

So you maybe wondering who is this 250 million pound man? well its none other than ur author...and why u may ask, well let me give you some history, New Doha International Airport is a huge project, on of the biggest in the world, and unlike most airports or goverment projects everything is to the top end of the spectrum. The project is split into 2 areas(which are further split into 2 more sections so thers 4 sections altogether), and of those sections, the project is further split into buildings or functions/services (such as passgenger terminal, security, labour compound, land reclamation etc) anyway I have 5 packages which have been awarded and in the administration stage, which is the most for my my Area and the value of my projects totals around 250 million pounds which is the second most for my error, when i found out i was shocked!

I mean here i am 23 years old, not even one year out of university, and im managing 250million pounds worth of work its incredible and a true testament in how my company trusts its employees. DOnt get me wrong there are plenty of things i have problems with, however in this aspect I think for people heading out of univeristy should look to companies that really do trust each of there employees and not see the younger staff as soley assistants to the older members...

Aneway im off to pray then sleep
