We've just got home from my brother-in-law's sort of a despedida dinner at the Marriot Hotel. Omar, Mars and I were joined by Jess, Andy, Edwin, Mark and Leslie. I really had a marvelous night dining and itermittently laughing and giggling all througout the dinner. Contributing to my enjoyment was seeing for the first time Jess without any inhibitions talking just about anything. Maybe it was because of the "drink" which they enjoyed only within the four walls of the hotel.
While dining in a 5 star hotel like Marriot, I realized that from time to time, Mars and I should spend yes really spend some time and of course money to be in such a romantic ambiance. I asked him during our dinner that if I was still single, will he take me out to dinner in a nice hotel? He said he didn't got any chance since we were married immediately when I came to Doha. Well I guess it's not yet too late to make up for it.
I enjoyed the seafood buffet and most of all their dessert selections. Too bad that I had a late lunch and that is why I didn't got any chance to stuff my tummy more of the nice and colorful food. Well maybe next time.
I was busy capturing some experimental shots from my dear old point and shoot camera when Omar opened the table for his speech. He thanked everyone for making his 5 years stay in Qatar bearable, enjoyable and most of all memorable. He never expected to be here that long but his dream of becoming a doctor is far more important to him than being an ambulance driver forever. He's glad he's leaving but also sad to leave behind good friends who were with him through thick and thin. Mars, Lauren and I will miss you bro! See you sometime in June 2011.
