Sealine Resort, House Warming n Cook Out

Almost 1 n a half month kat Doha, myself, ans Masrina met a new friend. Fairol, Rini and their baby girl, Batrisha.

Fairol nie gila2 org nyer, cos it's good, at least we got a friend satu kepala.

So during the weekends, we plan to go to Sealine Beach Resort.

Myself, Masrina, Hanan, Tarina, Rini, BB Batrisha... tukang ambik gambor.... Fairol

We were there a bit late, cos stop for for brunch.

I brought over Caramel... hehehe, berjaya buat akhirnyer... Instant Caramel lah...

We lepak there for about 2-3 hours, makan lunch, Rini buat nasi lemak... waahhhhh lama tak makan woo... rindu nasi lemak...

After 2 and a half month in Doha, I decided to have a house warming n a cook out at my place.

Panggil semua kengkawan n kenalan datang...

Geng2 bujang who came was, Masrina, Tarina, Bryan and ZM.

The families yg datang was, Fairol, Asyraf, Wan.

I order food at an Indonesian Restaurant, called Minang. Good food, and ZM cook his famous dish, a Pakistani dish.

Even the Minang dish lost to his

It was the best time, surrounded by good friends, and family.

After a week or so, call some frineds for a cook out lunch at my place.

Bear in mind, this was one of the weekend activities, for a bachelor to do.

Nak kuaq shopping complex, during those times, only for family...

Kalau keluar sorang2 lelaki or gourp of guys, memang kena halau dari shopping complex tuu.

So nak tak nak... buat lah cook out kat rumah...

New friends

Well almost 1 month here, baru lah sorang lagi mangsa datang ke QP...

Budak Malaysia, nama dia Masrina Md Saad...

Actually, lam dept aku nie, ada lebih kurang 13 org Malaysia, sorang tuu dah lama kat sini since 1985. Ikut hubby dia keje ngan gomen qatar nie...

Second is me, as a scout utk budak2 baru...

Sebenarnyer dah lama kenal derang nie, dok but TT kat Mesia, sblm aku berangkat ke Doha. So takder ahh terkejut sgt bila berjumpa.

So Mas came to Doha, same thing happen lah, duduk Grand Regency, then pindah ke 7th Pearls, tuu utk org bujang sahaja... cam aku nyer case, derang ingat aku dtg ngan anak bini, padahal dah cakap dtg single... Itu yg dapat rumah gedabak besar tuu...

Well anyways, one week after that, the 3rd mangsa, Bryan Lum Mun Hoon datang...

Just imagine sebulan aku kat Qatar, tiap kali lepas keje, aku lik umah, kali nie, 2 minggu berturut2, dok keluar, gie shopping barang ngan derang... Wah... giler penat siot... tapi well worth it.

So here we are, the 3 musketeers.

New friends and an evening at ShoreLine Beach Resort

About a week after raya, met a new friend. Cik Tarina, from Qatar Airways, ask her if she could help me pesan some items from Malaysia.

When she came back to Qatar, I went to see her, and pick up the items that my parents bought. Best nyer, all instant cook dish... Terima Kasih daun keladi cik Tarina....

Apa lagi, petang tuu, balik umah, enjoy lar masakan melayu... woohoo...







1 week later, i remembered a friend of mine working in Qatar. He came here 1 month before I did.

Cari punya cari no contact dia, akhirnya jumpa.

Zainuddin Mohamed aka ZM. Called him up, then jumpa kat Lulu Hypermarket. Punya lar happy dok jumpa geng, so we all lepak at Souq Wakif, pekena masakan Malaysia, Restoran Sri Kebaya.

So one weekend, boring nyer pasal, i rented out a Toyota Camry, kena lam QR 250 perday. Called ZM out, and off we go to Shoreline.

Lepak sana, till lewat malam... then straight went back home... overall a good night spent with frens.

Next day, went out for breakfast... then to Cornich...

This is a Dow Boat... for QR20 it will tak u a tour of Cornich for around 20 minutes... with some Hindi music being played..

One of the building behind me is my office...

Nice place for a jog or a walk, even nicer to have your loved ones together to talk n walk...

Beraya di Doha

Well.... dok tak dok... dah nak masuk hari raya...

Naper lah aku leh lupa nak bawak CD lagu raya. CD blue banyak lah... oppsss...

Aku tak bawak pun... aku budak baik...(yeah right!!)

So yang best nak buat cerita nyer... pergilah aku malam raya tuu nak solat terawih...

Aku dgn bersemangat nyer, sebab aku tau Malaysia raya day after tomorrow. Half way thru solat terawih. dok dgr pak arab dok bising2.

Lepas tuu more then half jemaah keluar masjid...

Hampeh nyior... rupanyer esok raya... derang dapat tau lambat... tuu takper gaks... dok sembang ngan senior2 kat qatar nie, last year, derang tak tau that day was raya, so semua org posa... tak gila dibuat nyer???

Tapi tuu citer last year... this year, solat terawih separuh jalan jer... lepas tuu apa lagi, lari gie cyber cafe, call family ahh... tak nangis pun... control macho lah katakan...

So esok nyer, alhamdulilah, sorang kawan yang baru dua kali bertemu muka, invite aku solat raya kat embassy Malaysia di Doha... apa lagi... follow jer ahh...

En. Asyraf, dan anak2 (isteri dia Pn. Zura tarak, sebab tgh ambik gambar), Anak sulung nama Melia, n kecik skali nama Mirul. (Psssttt... si Melia tuu ada hati kat aku tau, sebab tiap kali lepak kat umah aku, dia akan cakap... Uncle Rizal, nak tukar game PS2, tak pernah dia mintak mak atau ayah dia tukarkan DVD Game... aku gaks mangsa utama....)

Selamat Hari Raya... Best gaks raya sorang2 nie... enjoy siot...

Later we went to Rumah Duta, dia buat open house, after that, kami ke Al Khor... few open houses.

Welcome to Al Bayyan Garden

Well, moved from a 5 star hotel to a Compounded Villa, called Al Bayyan Garden. Majority of QP senior staff stays there for the first 3 months (during probation), biasa ahh, company nak mengayat sikit.

dah confirm lantak pi lah hangpa nak tinggal mana... depa campak jer tak mana2 kita nie...

well, here are some of the pictures of my place.

From my Front Door, this is my Front Hall.

Here's my Living Room, damn Big just for one guy to live

Dining Hall, aka tempat sidai baju

Biggest Kitchen I've ever been in

1st Floor Hall

Master Bed Room, KING Size Bed. Aku golek-golek 3-4 kali baru sampai hujung... Besor siot....

One out of 2 smaller rooms, but still can be considered big size...

1st week in Doha

Okay, 1st day was good. My company called, told me to get some R&R, sebab esok kena buat medical checkup. Posa 10 jam, tak campur ngan bulan posa lagi (hmm...dapat pahala extra tak??)

2nd day terus ke Ras Abu Aboud. Check up half day, alhamdulilah takdak masalah, walaupun dalam masa 2 bulan lepas my first medical check. Woohoo sihat siot... no cholestrol, no high blood, no diabetese, cuma doctor cakap a bit obese... cilakak...

bukak posa ptg tuu, makan lah sepuas2 nyer... settle makan, aku pun plan nak lepak shopping complex lah... so went to city center...

Wahh besor nyer tmpt nie, stylo... tapi naper kedai tutup?? Baru lah aku tau, time posa, close from 5 to 9... cilakak tul... aku pun sbb ngantuk sgt2, blah lar ke hotel lik... took me almost 20 min utk dpt cab... org tak ramai pun takder cab ahh?

Slept at the hotel, then the next day, went to my office. It's in West Bay Area, dekat 9 minit walk to City Center, cehh dekat sgt lah tuu...

1st day takdak mende pun nak buat, Bos aku pun dok buzy... biasa lar time ramadhan keje from 8.30am to 1.30pm (5 Hours) mmg rilek n enjoy lah.

Well, after this I'll be moving from the Hotel Grand Regency to my QP Housing, Al- Bayyan Garden. More gossips to come.

Doha - Reminiscing

Salam Perantau.



1st time aku nak menulis kat manatang nie, so not sure wether it's a good thing or not. But here goes.


(Flashback - if u guys are seeing watery effect on this screen, means I'm good) :)


I came to Doha on 17th Sept 2008... di tengah2 bulan posa lak tuu... datang sorang jer.


1st time pijak kaki kat sini, gilar kambing, panas woit..>!!!

Turun belon(air plane) jer dah berpeluh, nasib baik lah terus masuk bas tadika, sejuk lar sikit.

Sesampai di terminal Doha, masuk kat area imigresen, derang nie pun satu hal, no proper instruction on where to go... aku nie cam lembu masuk slaughter house lar, ngn muka tongeng aku berjalan ke arah imigresen, yang aku pun tak sure mana nak beratur.


Settle jer imigresen,... ahh sebelum lupa, make sure cap/ topi jgn pakai, tah unta mana jerkah aku time tuu... Nasib baik la kat tempat orang, kalau kat mesia, dah lama kena jentik teloq unta sekoq2 nie. (intermission japs)


Well, anyways, kuaq jer kat tmpt menunggu, dok tercongok lah seorang insan dari Malaysia nie, bodo2 jadi pak gard tepi pintu... Dok terlihat gaks few malaysian, tapi tak sorang pun tegur... semua buat muka latoya jackson lepas kena sembelit...


Mintak maaf yer.... But my first bad impression about orang kita, "kambing sungguh, mentang2 dok tempat org, nak berlagak lak... hangpa tunggu, aku kaya satgie, aku buat lik kat hangpa"... hehehe.


Waited for 50 min, bengong nyer drebar tak sampai2 lagi, teringat masa baca Marhaba nyer buku, depa kata, timing kat sini is flexible... tok ngah hang flexible, dah lah panas luar... dalam pun tgh membara nie, nak beli ayaq tak nampak kedai pun... kalau kat KLIA pun ada gak kedai2 bodo yang jual ayer... Alamak!!! Kantoi, time tuu posa... hahahaha.....


After waiting for the driver, I finally decided to get a cab, pergi hotel... lantak pie lah opis nak maki ker aper ker, dah lah tgh kebulur, tekak kering lak tuu... yang aku nie pun bengap pie dok terpacak tgh2 panas tuu sapa suruh... padan muka aku.


After getting a cab, dia bawak lah aku pie hotel... on the way ke sana, rasa cam... Oh My God!!! What have u gotten yourself into Rizal? Macam war torn country... bagunan separa siap, jalan cam laluan keldai, jem tak ingat dunia...


Bila sampai hotel... Wah Lau Weh... masuk pie register, mintak depa nie waktu solat sini, then masuk bilik kaput sampai time bukak posa... rugi sungguh datang time posa... makan 2 kali jer sehari...

Lam 5.30 tuu pie lah nak bukak posa, 1st time makan makanan orang... tapi takpa, kalau aku nie jenis memilih makanan, takdak lah sampai comei cam nie... (pls refer to pic aku).

Layan gaks ahh makanan depa nie, after that, aku pie lah kuaq hotel tuu, jalan punya jalan, time tuu takut gaks, satgie sesat, tak pasai2 tembus Kota Bharu lak...

ternampak lah aku akan Lulu Center, hmmm... cam menarik... so berjalan kesana ngan tujuan nak beli ayaq n munchies, nak melantak kat hotel... Hemapeh nyior sungguh tempat tuu... no groceries at all... what do they expect me to eat? Their leather shoes is it?

tanya bangla sekoq nie, mana nak beli makanan, dia kata jalan lagi 5 minit, akan jumpa kedai runcit Pak Ali (susah nak sebut lar nama arab). so aku pun pie lah bershopping barang kit.

lepas tuu masuk hotel, makan japs, then kaput again.
