Ok so I made a post two days ago about an experiment that did about my posting and interactions here at Noise because of the way I thought the algorithm of tipping changed here. π So after comments and interactions with other member looks like they feel the same way as well and things have actually changed π Looks like the people have two theories 1) you only earn by interactions with others And 2) You earn as normal but rewards kick in 6 to 8 hours later Now many of theβ¦
@Cryptonoob in November 2021
Today has been one hell of a day for me. Had the usual busy day at work, finished late and got home to take a little nap before I could plan for my dinner. Sadly I could not sleep and just lay there for an hour or so. Got up and remembered that I need to get to bank to submit a cheque. Did that and grabbed a tea wish some sandwiches for my dinner. The day seemed to pass so fast and I could not get all the planned things done. Anyways, I am dead tired now and heading to bed.β¦
So in the morning today when I browsed Facebook, it told me that those are the stories I posted 3 years ago π I have shared these photos from my Trip to London before and I remember it as if it was just yesterday when I was there but looks like it already has been three years. Time flies so quickly that it really is hard to keep track. After looking at these photos from my stories, I started going through the folder from London visit, who knows I might reshare some of theβ¦
So lunch today was super amazing π I went again for a business lunch to the restaurant called Baladna (whose interior I posted 2 days ago). Had the most creamy Hummus with meat and then lamb chops with a tray of oven baked minced meat π€€ Anyways I would rate my experience 10/10ππ
So I had to get to an exchange to send some money back home for an investment that I made recently. The exchange is at an area where there is too much on going construction. So I opted to go there with our metroπ As you can see due to the fear of Covid the metro is still mostly empty. I got a chance to sit in the front with a clear view of the tunnel ππ
Been working on my final year project proposal for the past two weeks and finally submitted it this Sunday. Now waiting for the response from my project coordinator and the mentor if it is approved or not. I have a feeling that it will be approved as the mentor was very confident about my idea π Anyways the feeling you get when you finally submit a paper or deliver a project is truly satisfying π
My Facebook memories where showing me that I was feeding squirrels in Hyde park London, three years ago π Well the vibe in Hyde Park London and Central Park New York are somewhat similar. With greenery all around and people jogging, walking and cycling, it really is fun to be in both those places ππ
Just posted a high resolution version of this shot on my Instagram and thought of resharing here as well π This is from August this year when I went to Istanbul, Turkey πΉπ· for a week. Again one of my favorite things about Istanbul is the food π Looks like I might be ordering some Turkish tonight π
A sunset shot from when I visited Pakistan three year ago π I snapped this from the parking space of Monal Resturant in Pakistan. It has probably the besr view of the city and this shot is just an exampleπ Here we can see the sunsetting in margala hills and since it was winter, the clouds really add to the beauty of this sunset π π
It is Thursday and I had plans with friends to go to the beach tonight and possibly do a small BBQ. Sadly, I have been called to work on Friday and hence I will have to cancel as I will have to get to bed early π Anyways, here is a shot from two years ago when I was at one of the most popular beaches here in Qatar ππ
Kist dropped my car at the mechanic to get my cars lower arms changed as they were making much noise since past some weeks. Keeping a car and then maintaining it are two different things and much effort is required to effectively maintain any car. Just now while checking what else might have gone bad in the car, the mechanic told me he might need to open the steering wheel box to make sure all is good. Too much unwanted expenses ππ΅βπ«
Who else here is observing #Movember π So as October is a month dedicated to womenβs health, November is a month dedicated to Mens health. It is referred to as β no shave November β or Movember π I observe it ever year and donβt shave throughout the month of November. How about you guys? Anyone also here observing #Movember?
One upon a time I went for a staycation at one of the most luxurious and beautiful resorts in Qatar π It is called Banana Island Resort and is managed my Anantra π. It is a bit expensive but totally worth it I would say. I stayed there for a night last summer and this is a photo I snapped when I was heading for a swim to their beachπ Posting in this channel after agesπ
So yesterday I made my first ever withdraw from coin app of about 150 XYO token ππ https://coin.onelink.me/ePJg/74ea480c If you are not aware about it, it is an app that pays you just by walking, driving and with ads that show up as bonuses π Anyways since I am accumulating Telcoin now a days I immediately sold my XYO for telcoin and now as usual XYO is hitting new ATHs π΅βπ«π
Treated my self with this delicious KFC lunch. I had chicken, loaded jalapeΓ±o fries and some spice KFC wings ππ Since I was totally alone in the building and working on a Friday, it was only fair that I have something good for lunchπ . Anyways after finishing all this? I am not super sleepy and just want to get in my bed π
Went home after work and took a nice nap . Felt really lazy after the nap so came to this park for a walk before I make any other plans for tonight. The vibe here is really peaceful and suited for a walk. I am gonna stay here for an hour and then head home and see what the night has planned for me ππ
Went for a late night coffee with friends. Kaldi is a new joint in Qatar which replaced Costa coffee chain here. I usually order the Spanish Latte as it is just perfectly sweetened π. A nice well spent for me I guess. Heading home nowπ
Just got a call from my mechanic that my car is ready for collection π I dropped it at his garage on Thursday to get some issues fixed and check if any other things need to he fixed. He just called that all is fixed and I can collect itπ The thing is now is the moment of truth, I am not sure how much bill he has made π π . I hope it is within my monthly budget. Since the post is about my car, here is a shot I snapped last winter on my way back from a beach π
How about a cup of tea π Hi am heading for an outgoing with family and will post about it once I reach thereπ. I usually donβt have much time to spend for family gatherings and outing but this time I managed by keeping my schedule clear and also since the weather is really nice, it is totally worth it ππ
So in my previous post I said that I was going on a outing with family. Well I went to this beautiful family beachπ It is called βAl wakrah souq beachβ and is really a preference for families as it has many restaurants and other facilities available for adults and kids. The water was not very clear today as there was too much seaweed so I did not take a dip. Anyways the trip was well worth it and we had funπ
Finally got my car back from the mechanic. Luckily the job was well done and the bill was also reasonable π I ended up paying 350 dollars the parts and labour charges. The parts were quite expensive but to be honest, the ride has become much smoother after aligned. Hopefully no other major expense will hit me for a while.
For some reason my nights have become sleepless and longer π. I try to go to bed earlier but still cannot get good sleep. Just last night I barely slept for five hours even tough Iπ was in my bed for seven hours or more. I hope it is just a phase that will pass as constant sleep is really needed for a sound mind and bodyπ Anyways, to go with my post I had to find a night shotπ . This is a shot of Souq Wakrah in Qatar ππ
So again my Facebook memories are telling me that I was feeding the seagulls at Hyde Park London three years ago from today π π Oh how I wish to be there again right now, sadly I am stuck on my work desk with some emails that require response ππ Just had a quick bite of of breakfast while working and have enough energy right now to survive till lunch π
This one seagull was making sure no one swims in the lake in Hyde Park Londonππ Looked like he appointed himself the warden and made sure no ones breaks the rules π. The best part there was that seagulls donβt get scared when you get close to them or try yo feed them. For sure one of the must visit or best activities when in London π
Not far from the Lake in Hyde park, is this flat fountain dedicated to the memory of late princess Dianaπ She really was the most elegant princess British royals have seen till date. There are other memorials spread across Hyde park but this is one of the most prominent onesπ
One of the best things to witness in London is the Queenβs guard changing ceremony at Buckingham Palace π So these guys come on horses and road is blocked for cars and people. Then they have some kind of military ritual that releases the existing guards of their duty and new ones take their place. It is usually a quick ceremony but it is lovely as tradition is seen in such activities π
Have you ever felt that you are being leftover or neglected? Lately I have this feeling at work. I was kind of in line for a promotion for the past three year. Sadly due to COVID pandemic, budget cuts came in action and all the promotions were on hold. Now things have started to move in all the departments but for some reason my departmentβs executive management is not doing anything for staff and is still trying to play the pandemic card. I am not sure how long I will beβ¦
Just snapped this from the window of my office. There is a huge fire in a residential area near our office. From the dark black smoke it looks like that the fire is very big and might have caused much damage. We just called the civil defense for the help. Hope everyone is safe. π
A view of my hometown i.e. Islamabad from the famous Resturant called Monal π. Islamabad has been named the 2nd most beautiful capital city in world for many consecutive years in the past. Possibly due to the greenery and the planned structure that it hasπ The city is mostly surrounded with green mountains all around and has been a popular tourist attraction in recent times
In the last seven days the overall crypto market cap is constantly on a rise and it can be said that the size is exponential π Hence the surge in the and gaining a bullish momentum. One this also is to be noted that even tough new ATHs are hit by BTC and ETH, the overall market dominance of BTC barely went in the higher 43% ranges. I think the alts are going to have a good time in coming days ππ
Would you rather prefer a real forest over a concrete jungle? For me I would take the greenery any day over the hassle filled life of city. Snapped this shot in Tokyo, Japan π―π΅ and for some reason it gives me the anime vibe π This is the main park in Tokyo and is really worth the visit and best suited for morning walks.
In contrast to my last post, this is another side of Tokyo that we usually see in movies or TV. It is the concrete jungle in central Tokyo, Japan π―π΅ For me Japan was equally fascinating at both ends as the country and itβs people have a different vibe and doesnβt compare to anywhere else in the worldπ
Night life in Japan is also different level π When I was there, I noticed that Japanese people are very expressive of their fantasies and are not ashamed of showing them through their lifestyles and habits. This is a shot from Shinjuku Station and is full of anime stores with many of them of very adult natureπ
Whenever you post about Japan, their culture always becomes a prominent feature in all their attractions. One of the things that Learnt when I was there is the significance of the gates or passage entry structure seen in this photo. π They resemble the presence of Shrine in the area. The bigger the saint, the higher and more prominent the shrine gate would beπ
Today at work I will be delivering a class on stress management π. Should I tell the colleagues that I myself am much stressed and just want to go home ππ . Anyways I will be an instructor for today and will try to do my best to get the message across π
Even the public gardens in Tokyo are on different level π This is the Imperial Palace garden which surrounds the famous Imperial Palace in Tokyo. It is so well maintained with lush green grass everywhere and nicely trimmed trees π. Whenever I feel a bit stressed I release the tension my going through such views and photography π
Well it is that time of the year when the weather gets really nice in Qatar and sunsets get really beautiful and amazing π Snapped this on my way home from work and believe me that camera is not doing justice hereπ. Anyways I will be posting more time to time as sunsets never get boring ππ
I am taking a day off from work tomorrow so I managed to find sometime to go for relaxation in a jacuzzi and then a swim. It is now time to grab some hot drink on the way home and probably some light dinner. Lastly I plan to watch one or two episodes of YOU before going to sleep π
This is the Windsor Castle in the United Kingdom π This is where Prince Harry and Megan Merkle got married and this castle is also one of the residences of the Queen herself. Since Buckingham Palace is too commercialized, she hardly goes there now and spends much time in Windsor Castle when she is in Londonπ It was not allowed to take any pictures from inside but I can tell you their wedding dresses and other objects used in wedding are on display there
Spending the afternoon with this cup of tea π So everyone who follows me at Noise knows that I go to this tea place called βTea Timeβ from time to time and enjoy the tea or Green tea with lemon and honeyπ Since it was my off day today, I went for a cup of green tea before of my lunchπ
Yesterday I posted a sunset picture and said that I will be posting more from time to time as the weather this time of the year is really amazing and makes the sunset really beautiful due to clouds π This is from today while I was going to a friendβs place to watch the second semi-final of ICC T20 world cupπ
Sometimes I just realize that skyline in Qatar is way too beautiful at night πSince it is an off day, I am out with friends to a park for a walk. The weather is really nice with a light cold breeze of wind. Really enjoyable π
Well last night I had a really late dinner at KFC. At first I didnβt feel like eating anything but when I went inside the restaurant, I could not help myself and ordered a twister boxππ Anyways, having something like KFC really late at night means that I would not even feel hungry the next day as well and that is what is happening with me right now ππ π
Out with family for another say at the beach π The weather is really nice and the water super clear and worth the swim. I just had my lunch there at the beach and then went for a dip. I came here early so found a nice spot, now many other families have also come and some of them had to go back because there was no place to sit and do picnic
Apparently CoinMarketCap has a referral program also which grants diamonds as rewards if the invited members accumulate 100 diamonds shorturl.at/ehsKS So I just joined it and there is my referral link. Join if you are not already a member π
Out with friends at βcaribou Coffee β. The irony is that I am at a coffee chain but I ordered Oreo milkshake π . I would say that weekend is well spent for me as I had much time for family and friends. How is your weekend going guys? Having fun yet?
Yesterday I was at the beach with family and now I am processing some photos to share it on noise. I managed to capture some really beautiful sunsets shots there yesterday and this is just a glimpse of what is heading your way π This shot was snapped just before the sun started setting hence the shadow element is high
So βTigerβ the stray cat in our residential compound needed some petting and love today. I opened the door to go out and he immediately came in and wanted me to pet him π π. I was fast enough to grab my phone from my pocket and snap this portrait shot of him π Anyways he is out playing again with his friends after this
So here I am posing in front of a castle on the bay of Danube river in Serbia π·πΈ This is the castle that was one knighted by Dracula himself. fascinating right? I felt cool too when I was thereπ Moreover it holds a strong position in Balkan region as whoever controls this castles controls the Danube river
Heading to bed early as I have work in the morning. To go with my final post for today, I added this beautiful shot of βBillisca Cestrinβ form my first trip to Istanbul in 2018. This Billisca is basically an underground water storage what has used by Byzantine empire to save water for the city before 15th century.
Starting the day by sharing with you one of my most precious and favorite shots that I ever snapped π. This is from my visit to Santorini, Greece π¬π· in 2015π There is a beautiful view point to see the sunset as Santorini has one of the most beautiful sunset in the world. I was at the right place at the right time to capture this beautiful view ππ
Santorini has a total different vibe than everywhere else in the world I have been. I mean look at those beautiful whitewashed buildings in the middle of the ocean. The whole Island is like that and some minarets with blue tops act like a cherry on the top to enhance the beauty of those structures. π I was there for a total of 5 days back in 2015 and they still are part of my best memories π
My brother started his work after three months of vacation. Since he works in the army, he starts really early. This is a sunrise shot that he snapped today on his way to work π I must say that photography runs in our family π The shot is really impressive and I told him that once he shared it in family Whatsapp group π
Who has tried βKhachapuriβ before? π It is a traditional Georgian dish usually eaten as breakfast or snack. I had a chance to try it when I visited Georgia π¬πͺ in 2017. It is like an oven baked pie with cheese and egg in the centre. We have similar pies here also and they are called fatayer but this one tastes a bit different and exquisite
Well I am off to bed and just snapped the darkness in my room. I never realized that I sleep in such dark environment π Do you guys sleep with full light off of have a small light somewhere in the room?
Well it is another lovely morning as we start another week in many parts if the world. For us in the Middle East it is already the second working day of the week today. It is important to have a healthy and energetic breakfast to get the body all the nutrients and energy it needs for the work it is about to doπ As you guys know I also do food photography and this is a shot that I snapped when I went last year for a staycation to one of the resorts in Qatarπ. The breakfastβ¦
So today was a nice day for me at Rollercoin πhttps://rollercoin.com/?r=kb6zantf I crossed a level at the daily task and got a free miner ππ I have attached a photo how my mining room looks like in Rollercoin and what is the current status of my wallet there. Considering that I hardly send 30 mins or less, I am satisfied of the rate at which I am earning there π
One hell of a troubleshooting session happening at work today. Past four hours me and my manager has been all in on it and trying to figure out to use a new KVM switch to toggle between multiple devices with one display screen. Finally after four hours we made it work but it still is not stable, possibly because both PCs are from different makers. Anyways, I guess it is enough for today and we will continue tomorrow π
So season end rewards for Splinterland are finally here https://bit.ly/3Dip0de Since I am still a Bronze league player, I am more than satisfied with my rewards for this season. I managed to get two Rare cards both of them worth more than a dollar in the market. In addition I have been getting more credits even in the daily quest. All in all I canβt complain π
How about this for a sunset shot?π I snapped this today when got into my car to go home after work. Our office building is adjacent to an airport runways so so many aircrafts still can be seen parked beside the runway. Even tough it is a lovely sight to see so many aircraft tails together in the sunset, all of us really wish that these planes take the flight as early as possible π
Since many of you would know that I live in Qatar and it is kind of a desert with almost nothing grows naturally. So whenever I have to please my eyes with lush green sites, I have to go through my photography archives to find something and enjoy it π This is a shot from my visit Stonehenge in the Uk. It is a historical mystery that is location around an hours drive from central London π
I did not sleep well last night so I had to grab this cup of coffee on my way to work today. It is a new place and not the one I regularly go to. Even tough the cup says βTea Worldβ it has Latte with double expresso shots ππ One this is sure for Qatar, if you open any Resturant and put the world β TEAβ anywhere in the name, it will be a huge hit ππ π
Just a random shot from my trip to Disneyland in Paris ππ This was back in 2015 when I visited Europe and spent three days in Paris. Disneyland really makes you feel that you are in a fairytale. It needs a whole day to explore for sure. Hopefully I will be able to visit the one in Florida one day π
Driving into the sun π Snapped this sunset shot on my way home from work today. Usually I process my images before posting anywhere including noise but since I am feeling a but lazy I posted this one raw π I believe it still is a very good shot and one can say β no filter neededβ
Are you a leader? Or a follower? I like to think myself as an aspiring leader. This is a chart in one of our office classrooms from a training that happened some months ago. The chart lists some of the important attributes a leader must have in order for them to influence its followers positively. π I took this picture in my phone so that it acts as a reminder
Playing around with my phone and breakfast ππ So just snapped this while sitting in my office as I tried to get the best angle for food photography π. I used to just like snapping landscapes and seascapes but now I realized food photography is fun too π π For breakfast today I am having TUC crackers with a latte made with fresh milk ππ
Out on a site visit with office colleagues today. This is going to be our new home and it is expected to be ready by early next year. The project is already past its deadline but covid pandemic is to blame for it. Anyways I went to check the IT services and their route. All is in motion as per the plan π
It is Wednesday today and you guys know what that means ? It is our team lunch today π So it was the turn of one of our Sri Lankan colleague and he treated us with this delicious sea food BBQ platter π. It had crabπ¦ , calamari spicy and crispy, shrimp π€ and fish π. The best part was that it came with loads of creamy garlic sauceππ
Snapped a sunset shot today on my way home from work. So, I decided to not use my regular editing app but try the Iphone editor hack that I saw on ticktok π Well this is the result.it really made the shot dramatic. What do you guys think
Went to the mall today and ended up in a watch store as usual π I am a watch guy and I like to check whats new in the watch industry from time to time. This is an IWC chronograph with racing green dial and it is available in 40mm dial size π One problem: its still too expensive ππ
Well today morning while getting ready for my office, I just remembered an early morning walk that I did in this forest. It was back in 2015 when I visited Frankfurt, Germany π©πͺ and someone recommended me to take a drive of about 1 hour from my hotel to reach this hiking / walking place to enjoy the fresh morning breeze. When I go back and remember these shots, I thank myself that I did go thereππ
Ok I am just sitting at work busting my ass off and my friends are already making plans for a dunning in desert and swimming at the beach for tomorrow afternoon after Friday prayers. π I really want to go also and I am sure they are counting me to come also as I am the only one in the group with an SUV that can dune in desert π π
Found this random meme on one of discord group that I am on and found it really funny π π With the current situation of crypto market and bear being in control, I guess our blood pressure also fluctuates with fluctuations in the market π π Anyways weekend is almost here so brace urselves π
On a night out with some friends. You think it is rain? Well we in Qatar are not that lucky π . I was going under an overpass that was being cleaned and water well on my windshield π . Anyways I took the opportunity to get the rain effect ππ
Looks like the bear market is gonna continue for some days as BTC is finding it hard to maintain the 69k levels. One thing I noticed that coins like directly or indirectly link to metaverse or gaming still managed to maintain a healthy level. I invested some amount in SHILL on kucoin. Hopefully it will be worth it π
Good morning with a throwback shot from when I was in Cappadocia Turkey πΉπ· π. The mornings with the view of hundreds of hot air balloons taking flights are the best π. The ride is a bit expensive but it is totally worth it in my opinion. The balloons fly over love valley and give such magical viewsπ. Just going through my travel photography and thought of resharing this photo as I have gained many new followers laterally π
Looks like many people had missed my hot air balloon shot last time and when I shared it again earlier today, many people raised it. So I thought to reshare this shot from my love valley visit in Cappadocia, Turkey πΉπ· So this is one of my all time favorite shots lol n which I feature myself ππ . The love valley in Cappadocia Turkey is very famous and must visit
Went out for some work to one of the exhibitions centre earlier today and managed to snap this lovely sunset view from the parking area π The best thing I live about sunset time is the calmness that usually accompanies the sunset and of course the lovely colors ππ
When you have nothing to do at weekends, the safest option is to head to a mall to enjoy some window shopping and possibly some dinner π This is mall of Qatar about which I have posted before as well that it is the most luxurious mall in all of Qatar and has a wide range of restaurants for all type of cravings π
Ran out of shows to watch on Netflix as nothing seemed interesting anymore. So I started searching other platforms and found a nice shot called β The Mentalistβ on Amazon video π. Got through three episodes in one sitting π and so far I can say it is a good find π Have any of you watched the show? Can you recommend any shows on Netflix?
Yesterday I #reshared some of my photography from my visit to Cappadocia, Turkey back in 2015. Many people loved the shots as they had missed them one I shared them here the first time aroundπ Anyways, this is how the Gerome town in Cappadocia looks like at nightπ. It is build with in old caves snd most of the hotels are called cave hotels. There are some other hotels also but tourist always prefer cave hotels π
The weather has gotten really nice here in Qatar, specially since past couple of week it has been perfect for outdoor activities and walks. Today after lunch I went to one of the family parks near my area and enjoyed some really nice alone time with a cold breeze of windπ This is a shot that I snapped thereπ
Back at it again π. Weekly grocery shopping is something that I canβt avoid π . Due to pandemic all of the hypermarkets have started the option to shop online through their apps and websites but the problem comes when you buy fruits and vegetables. You canβt really check the freshness and quality in online π. So even when there is technology, somethings still need to be done the traditional ways
Found this one from shot from my Cappadocia visit in Turkey π. This was snapped just when the helium was being filled in Hot air Balloons and they were taking up shape π. One cool thing is that the guy who guides the balloon in the air are called captains also as they steer to balloon in the air. I can explain further but enjoying it up close has surely a different effect ππ
Finally after a whole week of testing and troubleshooting some issues and new features, I finally have a setup that works for our requirements. It is Sunday which is the first working day here in Qatar and having a decent setup is a good start of the work weekπ
Ending my first work day of the week with a cup of green tea with lemon and honey from my favorite tea place π. Today I had a rather calm day at work with nothing much to do and just had to send one email ππ . Now is the time to get home change and possibly watch some episodes of βthe mentalistsβ before I could plan for dinner π
I had posted a shot earlier about love valley in Cappadocia Turkey πΉπ·. This is another #instagram famous valley in Cappadocia called Monk Valley π. In olden times monks used to come for meditation to these caves and according to stories stay there for weeks without food and drinks. I had a chance to get this lovely shot snapped by my tour guide ππ
Well it is another nice Monday morning todayππ. This sunrise photo was snapped by me more than a year ago when I was called in for work really early on day. The small building that you see behind which the sun is rising is our office building ππ. I mu opinion, sunrise and sunset are times that are equally beautiful and it is hard to tell from photos if the sun is rising or setting π
Heading out for a work related meeting and I grabbed my second cup of coffee for today. The maximum I usually have is two cups but it has been just 4 hours in the shift and I am already past my daily coffee quotaπ. I know when I reach the meeting room they will serve coffee there as well and I cannot say no to free things π π
The weather is really getting better and better. Snapped this after my meeting today at site. I think my car is also enjoying the weather ππ . Anyways I guess my car has a really fat a** ππ π
Just booked my venue specific training for the volunteering of Fifa arab cup 2021 being held in Qatar as a preparation event for the world cup next year π. Luckily they are saying there will be shuttle service available from stadium and I might be able to use the metro from my home to there. Anyways I am planning to take my car so I can understand the layout there and then all should be understandable π
Looks like crypto market is suffering another pullback. I am not a daily trader but recently I started using some of the available funds on kucoin to trade token related to metaverse snd gamefi π. Too bad I donβt have any available Tether otherwise it would have been a good time to buy the dip π π
When in Rome, do what the Romans do ππ. This is the shot of my first experience with European history. Imagine watching so many movies and documentaries about gladiators and romans generals and then finally being able to see this historical marvelous by your own eyes π. When I first saw it I could realize who great the Roman Empire would have beenπ
Thinking about a short visit to Dubai next month but the problem is that there are so many options to select when I go and find the visa requirements for travel. Not sure if I will manage to go ahead with this plan as even at the start of research for a trip it started to look hard. I guess I need to get in touch with airport officials to find out moreβ¦π
Today I brought you guys another #throwback shot from my travels to UK. This is one of my favorite shots from that trip in 2018 when I stayed for a week in London. This is the famous historical landmark about an hour and half drive from Central London. It is called Stonehenge and you might have seen or read about it in movies or books. π. It truly is a piece of history in my opinion and many historians still have different views about what was their purpose more than 5kβ¦
This is kind of a continuation of my previous post about the Stonehenge in United Kingdom. This was another shot that I managed to snap that day while I was visiting there, the scenery just appealed me way too much and I never thought that a historical structure can ever be so blended in nature to give us such a view π
I had a really eventful day today. After work I was invited to an event about sustainable design. There were three panelists, two from Qatar and one from Uk. Since Qatar is going to host the world cup next year, such events are a part of Qatar building a positive image around the world.
Well a lady friend sent me this photo and asked me to help her choose which one is best for her to buy. Looks like there is a sale at βPandoraβ which is a nice international brand for ladies and has pendent jewelry. Honestly I am not got at deciding thing but from her tone I thought she wanted me to buy for her π π . Anyways which one looks nice?
I thought I will just a share a photo of me with Stonehenge as a proof that I was actually there ππ π . I know you guys believe me it is just I love my beard in this shotππ ( excuse to share a photo) . Anyways the trip to Stonehenge was really memorable for me
My spanish latte cup from early morning VS my green tea with honey cup after lunch ππ . Can you guess which one is what? π I had a lovely lunch today as we had the team building lunch today as it was a Wednesday. I think I ate to much and needed som hot drink to relax a bit π
I had a nice nap today after work so had the energy to go out for a bit before dinner π. I went to this mall called βGallaria Meshierbβ for a walk and it was quite entertaining. I ended up buying some snacks that I had in the mall if self. The best feature in this mall design in my opinion is the ceiling and the lights are are illuminating it π
Just reached one off our office building and snapped this shot as the skies very really clear today π. This is not my regular office but a secondary one what I visited today for some work that needs to be done before the weekend startsπ. I used the wide angle lens on my Iphone to snap this, I am also surprised as the result π and I think the office building glasses need some cleaning π
Having a meeting with another department since morning and there is so much conflict about who will do what π΅βπ«. They canβt even provide us the data we need and they expect us to figure everything by ourselves. This new project is going to be a mess if it stays like this.

Sitting in the office on my desk and looking at the map of Al Bayt Stadium in Qatar where I have my first shift as a volunteer today. Honestly I am a bit excited and nervous also ; excited because it is going to be a new and fabulous experience and nervous because I am not really sure who I will meet there and if there will be some comfortable location for volunteers to work during the shift. Anyways looking forward to it.
So as promised here is the first up close picture of one of the Fifa Arab cup stadiums in Qatar called βAl-Baytβ stadium. It is shaped like a tent which is the way old arab people used to live in desert. The way Bayt in Arabic means house and hence this name and designs align perfectly.
