Life in Doha

Today is my 2nd off day in this company. That means I have been in Doha for almost 2 weeks. Their off day here is on friday cause the qataris have to go the mosque and pray.

So far, I am getting used to "survicing" in the middle east. I'm really glad and thankful that I had internet connection ever since I am here, if not life would be very very miserable for me.

I keep it in mind, I am on my own and all alone in this developing country.

And no matters what happens, I cannot be like my own self who rather suffer in silence. I have to be stronger and more assertive. I may not be strong enuff yet but at least I know I am making progress.

I also have to learn to take care of myself and not be the spoiled and pampered brat back in Singapore where my mum would cook for me whenever I am hungry, I don't even clear my plates after I eaten, I will just shake my butt and walk away. But luckily, I still enjoy cooking.

The food here costs at least S$7 per decent meal. And the vegetables here are ASTONISHING EXPENSIVE! S$7 per kg for cabbage and $15 per kg for mushroom.

Now I even have to wash my own clothes and I realises there is 2 type of washing powder (FRONT LOADING AND TOP LOADING) and I bought the wrong one. I even have to call my Singapore batch girl and ask her how to operate the washing machine. Back in Sin, my mum even wash my panties till my current age of 23+. (SHAME ON ME!)

I haven even mop the floor back in Singapore for YEARS and here I have mopped the floor for at least 3 to 4 times in 2 weeks!

Training so far was fine for me as most of the things I have learn in my previous airline. But still I have been mugging everyday and been in tension for the morning revision with my very STRICT instructor which already make one of my batch girl cry.

Although some of the rules and regulations here are very strict and some I simply find them RIDICULOUS! There are still some stuffs which are more relax compare to my previous airline.

Examples: Grooming

1. We don't have to paint our nails! A clear gloss is enuff!

2. We don't have to put eyeshadow if we don't want to!

3. We can put as many black pins as we wish on our hair to make our hair neat.

4. They don't force people to cut their hair like my previous airline did which I believe that lady have a commision to earn with that hair salon.

5. I have one free return ticket and also unlimited ID90 and ID50 tickets which is 90% discount or 50% discount tickets!

6. Even my family have discounted ID90 and ID50 tickets too!

7. My training everyday is like onli from 8am to 1pm daily. (heh heh)

But still, some stuffs back at my old airline is better.

Over here, I'm glad I made some really good friends which I can talk to. It defintely a new experience cause I am mixing with people of different nationality, cultures and background.

My batch consists of 20 people from different nationalities. Singaporeans, Koreans, British, Russian, South Africian, Filipinos, Sri Lanka, Thai, Chinese, Taiwanese, Siberians and etc.  

I believe even if end of the day I break the bond and go back home, I will never regret making the decison to come all the way to Doha and start a new life.

Sometimes I am still really shock and amazed at my own courage to actually be right here in Doha which I still quite don't believe myself.

Whatever that doesn't kills you, make you stronger.

I uploaded all my photos in facebook, here are just some photos. enjoy!

My First Day in Doha

Thanks to baozhu and desmond to fetch me from the airport.

Thanks to my BFFs (Kampong & Six + One + One) & Mildred & Zhiqiang for sending me off to the airport yesterday.

And of coz thanks to my dearest smelly pig for always been there for me.

Once I boarded the plane, I was full of regrets of leavin and wish that I was sleeping right beside you being cuddle in your arms.

I am also sorry for making my family so worried for me.

When checking in, the check in lady was actually surprised that I only have 3 bags and it is only 48 kg in total.

Cause another trainee who check in before me was like double my weight and we have a 120kg allowances.

I think maybe I figure out I would fly back soon and I dont want to bring so much stuffs.

The koreans I knew even bought their own spoons, rice and stuffs.

But I haven stop crying from Singapore all the way to Doha on a 7 hrs flight journey.

My eyes are sore, my skin are dry and I am exhausted.

I was allocated the worst apartments of Qatar Airways which makes me even more upset.

My apartments was shared with 2 other seniors, one thai and singaporean who are pretty nice.

And lucky for that, I have internet right now.

But I still couldn't accept the fact why am I here in Doha and why am I doing this?

I really wish to go home this instant.

I seriously miss my dear so much and I was crying non stop till dear says he would pay my bond for me if I really want to come back now.

But I am glad I already made frens here, one singaporeans and 2 koreans which were going to be my batch girls.

We went out shopping together at Carrefour and the cute koreans girls even made dinner for all of us and we have a great time spending time together and getting to know each other.

I am feeling better now but I really dunno how am I going to sleep alone in my bed of mine.

The weather here is seriously killing me. 40plus degree. I am not going out anymore!!!!

Unpacking was really a chore and I really don like to do it. I wish I need not unpack them and go back to Singapore straight.

I shall endure... I don't want to waste baby money.

I shall make my trip worthwhile.... even if it is for a short period of time.

I love u baby. thanks for being there for me. *muacks*
