Dubai - Good or Evil?
Him: "So, where do you think you might head after this job?".
I: "Mish 3aref, there are a few possibilities. It all depends on where vacancies show up. Might go to …. Or …. Or….. or Dubai or…" .

My Colleague Was Sexually Harassed!
Fadfadation - Sun, 2007-10-28 07:02 By Fadfadation
Laaa, Qatar is changing a lot. What a pity :(
My colleague (British Female) was back from an outing at 1AM. As she was parking her car under the house, she notices a man in a car behind her just sitting there.
The man was starring at her. She felt uncomfortable and waited a bit till he left.
Five minutes passed and he stayed there. She thought he might be waiting for someone.

Farewell Ramadan :(
Fadfadation - Thu, 2007-10-11 20:01 By Fadfadation
As always, Ramadan month just whizzed away :(
It is amazing how those 30 days just tend to fly!
It is as if Ramadan is telling us:"Catch me if you can!"
Note: with all due respect to Ginger Bread Man from the Ladybird stories...although it was "You can't catch me! You can't catch me!".
Yesterday, after praying the late night prayers in the Masjid (Mosque) i just rested my back against the side wall of the Masjid within the praying area and sat there for like 10 minutes.

A Band In The Mosque!
Fadfadation - Mon, 2007-10-01 08:15 By Fadfadation
This happened last night in the Mosque (Masjid) I pray Taraweh in (in Qatar).
Note: The following is in terms of "the meaning of" not literally said or done.
Between the Taraweh prayers (11 in total), the Imam (Islamic cleric leading prayer) stops for a 10-15 minute lesson. Yesterday, the lesson was very different...
As we finished praying, the Imam went up to the Mic and said that we have a guy with us in the Masjid that is from a charity organization and that he wants to make a few announcements.
The guy went up to the Mic and made a few announcements of the achievements done with all the money collected over the past 3 years and so on.
After that the shock happened…

On The First Day Of Ramadan
Fadfadation - Thu, 2007-09-27 06:43 By Fadfadation
This happened on the First day of Ramadan.
As I was driving our cleaning guy to the bus station, this conversation took place:
Note: his name is R. and he is a Protestant Christian from India.
R.: "Sir, the weather today is much better".
I: "Yes R., it dropped 7 degrees just today".
R.: "Sir when do you start fasting for Ramadan? When is Ramadan?".
I: "Today R., today is the first day".
R.: "Ohhhh God is Great Sir!!".
I: "What do you mean R.?". read more »

My Childhood Reading Material
Fadfadation - Mon, 2007-09-17 07:59 By Fadfadation
I was never a book worm and never liked reading that much.
Only 6 years ago i started taking reading seriously and actually liked it.
It started with Religious books and then went into the other area which i like most... Politics (especially, (auto)biographies).
As a child (till my late teens) i used love 5 specific books. They all had pictures (that's why i liked them).
Here are the 5 books i always liked (and still have in my store somewhere in Egypt):
1- Ladybird:

Before i start talking about this i have to say: "God bless her soul and may she rest in peace (Al bakaa2 LelAh)".
For those who don't know who the girl is, she is an Egyptian who passed away in a car accident on the North Coast highway in Egypt. She was a young AUCian graduate (from the American University In Cairo).
