The first hectic week is followed by another hectic (last one in doha) week of gatherings and farewells - meetings with singaporeans, deevapali gathering at friend's place, meetups with qatari, meetups with church friends etc...

Glad to make some good friends and contacts over here. Hope to be able to keep in contact with them. : )

Cell group in Doha


Hi, I believed I mentioned in some of my earlier posts that I attended a cg in doha. However, it is closed after a few months. Here is a picture of the hosts and the cg. It is nice of the hosts - Victor (in green) and Clementine (in pink) - to arrange a farewell gathering for us. Clementine is nice enough to prepare most of the food and drinks. We had a great time catching up and bidding farewell... Think will miss them also..

Selling my car now...

again, it is kind of troublesome and stressful to own a car. Trying to sell it now.. but sad that I accidentally scratched it while trying to park.. think will affect the value again. so far, I have been reducing the advertised price (in qatarliving.com - http://www.qatarliving.com/node/227350) so that the "max sellable price" can be identified and done deal. Guess the price will be somewhere from 82k qr to 75k qr.. Let's see how it goes at the mean time.. another viewing 5 mins later..

BBQ at my colleague place

A few days ago, we are invited to my colleague's place for a BBQ dinner. It is at the villa right next to mine actually. A Filipino couple is there as well - Chris and Mavis and their little girl. Now Chris happens to maintain a blog as well - and guess what, we are now featured in one of his articles. Check out the link below for our pictures.

BBQ at our place




We recently had a bbq at our place - but only for the 2 of us.. : ) kind of suggested by my wife. I guess she is trying to make full use of the house and garden as we should be leaving this place pretty soon.. Here are some pictures. Had quite a good time as the weather is now much better at night time.

In love with another cute cat?



Hi, as usual, my wife tends to have a soft spot for animals. Here is another cat which is kind of cute and fat.. that's why we call it fatty.. : ). Fatty has a round face and is easy to cuddle. He doesn't struggle like Cookie when you carries him.

Can the 2 cats stay under 1 roof? well, not too well. Cookie is afraid of Fatty. Anyway, Fatty likes to roam around outside.. He just comes here for food..

Celebrating our 8th wedding anni



Well, this is the first time we celebrate our wedding anni overseas. Different environment but the same love! Bought her flowers (a bit ex here tho) but she said "how come no present leh??" : ) hee.. anyway, I think the flowers did the magic already.. In the evening, we went to the Doha Intercontinental Hotel and had our dinner buffet there. Quite nice and my wife loved it. As for me, I think I should have eaten more sashimi..see the pictures below..er..if you wondering where the sashimi are, they are in my stomach already..hee.
