Ok .. i moved to doha after a little training in Muscat Oman ..
I like my new job but i am on my own in doha .. yes some of u will like it especially that i have no working hours .. i can work from home .. but the thing is that i have a high pressure on me coz i need to generate results.. i need to get orders otherwise i donno what will happen.. hA my package is good (salary) .. n i am lving with Asif now who is one of my bst frds in Doha n one of the best people i met in Qatar in 2008 (Early 2008) .. anway .. i never regret not accepting the KSA offer hA .. but i really miss my frds there .. the people i used to hand out with everyday everynite .. we used to watch LOST, movies, football togerher... eat .. go out .. play footy together .. i miss them loads .. really amazing guys .. (salim, Omar, Bilal, Mido) ..
Moreover i miss a lot my Saudi frds the ones who i used to work with in STC .. i donno why many people say that Saudis are not good but for me I can only say positive things about them .. i had so many frds from KSA and iA i will see them again .. even my managers in STC were really good n modest.. at least they make contact with us unlike Qataris .. i miss my old mate Ali .. we always speak on the phone n iA he will come n visit one day .. it s only 4 or 5 hours drive from Riyadh ..n Saudi are used to these distances coz they always travel! ..
I am happy in Doha .. started feeling at home again hA .. i went to Beirut for eid n then dubai n then muscat .. the last 2 were for business ..
I met some new people in Doha n one of them is Nabil .. amazing guy .. it was great to meet a person like him .. he French/Moroccan .. he was staying with us at asif in Ramadan .. so we had many iftars together n we also went to the mosq many times together .. he s a great guy ..really...
What am happy about is that my frdship with asif is back to its golden age hA .. am really happy staying with him n we speak about almost everything .. there were some upds n downs before btwe us n even after i left there was some beef .. but am really convinced tat he s one of my bst frds n it s great to have him in my life ..hA..

I luv u uncle!!!
Ok so as i was telling u there are some good and bad moments... i got a call from my mom one day maybe in February, 2010 n saying that my uncle Ibrahim is coming from Canada to Lebanon as he had some pain in his stomach ..
Unfortunately this pain turned out to be cancer when i knew it was really hard .. my mom was trying to avoid telling me but of course i was going to know ...
Ibrahim is more than an uncle .. he is 38 now n am 26 so only 12 years difference .. he s been always my friend and even more .. he played the role of a brother for me coz i don’t have one ,.. I love him so much .. i remember when he moved to Canada in 2004 i cried .. of course not in front of him but it was really hard to continue my life in Lebanon without him .. we used to do scuba diving together .. as he had a school n boat a few times i went fishing with him .. he was my idol .. i always tried to be like him ..
His cancer is quiet serious .. it s stage 4 .. the last .. which means that it is spread .. in his stomach n liver.. hA he responded to most of his treatments but his last scan wasn’t too good .. the cancer cells in his liver start to increase now the doctor changed his medicine hopefully he will respond again ..
I donno if he will make it or not .. i always make dua for him but what s happening is a real tragedy .. his father .. my grandfather died from cancer too .. he died when my grandma was pregnant in Ibrahim.. she was in 8mnths and they named him Ibrahim just like his father s name .. and now my uncle Ibrahim is ill too and his wife is pregnant .. unbelievable ..
Anwya .. i donno how life will be if he dies .. especially for my grandma .. .like in the past she buried her husband and now maybe her son ,, it s really hard .. but i ask Allah for his mercy .. for myself i donno what will happen but life will go on and our gathering is not in this life ..it is in Heaven hopefully .. in fact am really happy coz my uncle started praying and he s been a good muslim lately .. we ve done umrah together .. it was really nice .. he knows n understands Islam now more than ever n he likes it a lot .. hA ..
My uncle Ibrahim is one of the nicest person i know .. he s so generous .. he never lets people pay .. he always wants to invite .. a real gentlemen .. i remember when i was young n i had Sega Mega Drive .. the console game .. he used to bring me some games .. although some games cost a lot at that time .. now when i go Lebanon i always try to be with him n cheer him up .. n have fun with him.. but in my last visit he was really down .. n tired .. u know the chemotherapy is a very hard treatment .. it is a really tough disease cancer ... i donno what will happen to him when i write to u next time .. but hopefully he will be with us .. also .. even long time before his cancer when people used to ask what u want to name ur son in future .. i always used to say Ibrahim.. i donno why but all people that i like are name Ibrahim especially my uncle ..
Come on Bob get cured .. it s not gonna be the same with out :( .. I love you BOBBBBBBBBBBBB

Last Days of KSA
Hey all... it s been a while i know but so much happened lately .. some good and some bad news unfortunately but this is life .. for the positive situations we have to happy and enjoy their moments and thank Allah for that .. as for the bad moments we have to remain patient and hope that it will become a good ending ..
Well i donno from where to start .. i finally got the termination letter from my company i donno why am smiling but it was like i was expecting it .. me and 12 other people needed to find a job within a period of 4 mnths which is somehow okay because we shud find sth good especially that our company will give us a transfer for our residency ..
well we re in February 2010 when they informed us i was in Lebanon n i cudnt attend the meeting but the guys told me and then when i came back my manager told me everything and how Saudi Telecom will not renew for us .. the thing is i always thought like i was some how untouchable coz my Saudi manager liked me a lot and he always used to say to me that he wants to keep me .. but the thing is that STC is refusing to renew for all Navlink regardless of who the people are .. anwya i started my job search and of course we had to keep working till like April although we will stay getting paid till June 2010 .. i had some interviews and I was close to join my roommate/brother/friend s employer but it just didn’t happen .. Why .. it s a long story .. but like they verbally said to me that they will hire me but I waited for too long till they send the offer although i contacted them several times .. and while waiting i got another and better offer .. and guess where!! In DOHA !! yes in Doha .. the place where i used to live since 2006 .. the place where i had great memories .. the place where i started counting on myself... so directly when i got the offer from a Omani company to be handling their operations in Doha i was like in a dream come true .. it s where i will join my old frds and my coz Issam .. but to be honest .. i was confused if i accept the offer or not .. coz the riyahd people i knew them and i almost knew all the employees there .. and their commission was amazing and most of all i was afraid of going to a company where i don’t know them especially after what happened with me with Navlink ..
what i did is that I had to ask my old sponsor in Doha for a No Objection letter in order to come back n work in Doha .. i need this letter unless i was out for 2 years.. in my case i was out for like 1 year 7 mnths .. and to be honest i wasn’t sure if my old sponsor in Qatar was going to give me this letter but hA this letter was ready in a few days ..
but still after i got it i wasn’t sure if i join the Qatar job or Riyadh .. now KSA offer was finally ready and i had to reply them .. i told them that another offer come to me whie waiting for them for like 2 mnths .. they put pressure on me n try to convince me .. especially that they know me and they know that i can get them many deals thru my contacts with STC .. anway since Doha offer was better .. not in terms of commission .. but like salary .. plus living in Doha wud be better for me and for my family later iA .. and it is a more senior role .. so actually all fingers were pointed to Doha ,, and i rejected Saudi offer ..
Saudi life was hard but i got used to it and in some time i felt at home .. anwya .. the best part is that from February when we knew that we were going to lose our jobs till April when the company wanted us to stop working for STC .. i was like going to work at 9 Am till the Azan for Zurh which was like 12 noon .. and then go lunch and then home lollll .. yes it was amazing ..no work and getting salary .. my Saudi manager was going crazy but he had to understand our situation .. but he told us that he can put us with another sponsor .. and which he was going to do with me ..coz I got a call in May from a Saudi company to work with them for STC with my Saudi manager.. i was in Beirut and i didn’t want to go to Riyadh just for the interview coz i already had like 2 offers in hand .. i asked for the salary he wud give but he said he needs to see me .. n i didn’t contact him after.. i just didn’t want to be a contractor for another company .. it s hard .. coz u donno for who to report to ..
Anyway from April when i stopped with STC i went to Lebanon n stayed there till june 20 .. i was also getting paid coz my contract was till june 30 .. so it was awesome .. lol ..
