Happenings..

Apparently, 19th Doha International Book Fair has just started yesterday at Qatar International Exhibition Centre. It will last till 3 Jan 09. That will help us to be a bit occupied this weekend. Can also be used to instill the reading habit in our kids..

You can read about it in the Gulf Times.

Meanwhile, for the sport enthusiasts, you can look forward to :
1. ExxonMobil Open Tennis Championship 2009 from 5-9 Jan 2009
2. Qatar Golf Open Championship from 8-10 Jan 2009
3. Qatar Golf Masters Championship from 29 Jan to 1 Feb 2009

You can get detail schedule for sports activities in Qatar by visiting here.

For the time being, we wish our friends who celebrate Christmas a very Merry Christmas.

Qatar National Day Celebrations

If you have no real plan for the next few days, I suggest you join the celebration for Qatar National Day celebrations organised by authorities. They have lined up activities starting from today.

We are back..

Alhamdulillah, we arrived back in Doha this morning at 5.15 local time ie 5min earlier than schedule. The flight departed from KLIA almost 1/2 hour late due to heavy passengers. The check in counter did not help either. They opened up the counters exactly 3 hours before departure time...

The temperature was 15 degree this morning.. We managed to que for big cab that could fit in all our bags. Neither saloon nor 4WD could take all the bags... hint hint... The sole reason why we declined offers from our good buddies to pick us up at the airport. We appreciated the offers though.. Offer mu tetap dikenang... May be next time...

Let's start thinking the activities for the winter. We have 5 months to enjoy the pleasant weather...

Eid Mubarak..

We would like to wish everyone Eid Mubarak! Let's together understand the true meaning of qurban...

The arrival of Eid also indicates that our 1 month long leave has come to the end.. sob sob..

We will be very busy packing up our baggages for the next few days. Hope it will not hamper our spirit to celebrate Eid tomorrow.

For our friends who are traveling to Oman & UAE, we wish you a safe journey. For our friends who are now performing hajj, we pray semoga mendapat haji yang mabrur.

It may take me a while to summarise my one month holiday activities in Malaysia. What is certain is that my waistline has been stubbornly increasing.. duhhhh
