Khameis Al Hefaity
I was born on the 10th of May 1981 in a small village called Sekamkam (سكمكم) in Fujairah which is one of the seven Emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). I have five brothers and five sisters, I am the youngest son. I finished school in June 2000 with 73.9% in Art Stream. I started my education in the UK in August 2000 at Chichester College in the South of England two hours away from London. I am sponsored by the government and the embassy of UAE. I spent six years at the same college where I studied English as a foreign Language in the first year, City and Guilds Diploma in IT in the second year, BTEC National Diploma for IT Practitioners for two years, and at the moment I am doing Higher National Diploma in Computing second year and applying for several universities to do a final year bachelors degree in IT Management.
My personality merges in different ways, friendly, self-contained, sympathetic, social, sensitive, understanding, kind, generous, modest, open-minded, caring, respectful, honest, moody, funny, naughty, nervous, helpful, and lovely etc. I have almost all the codes of behaviour which are changeable depending on the mood. I hate people getting angry at me, swearing at me, abusing my family. I do not like people who do not pay attention or understand me; I hate people who show off and raise their noses or are arrogant. Kids are my happiness and enjoyment.
My hobbies are photography, travelling, shopping, surfing the internet, football, bowling, billiards, collecting coins, railway cards, samples of perfumes, MUGS and information about different subjects e.g. e-commerce, marketing, economy, internet, technology, business and so on. I also read and listen to the Qura’an, Arabic and sometimes English music. I like to keep myself updated with this inconstant world by watching the television and listing to the radio on my mobile. I cook sometimes.
Since I was 15 years old I have liked to take pictures of myself, kids and nature. I am becoming more interested in photography because, it is fun, artistic, skillful, memorable, commercial, remarkable, decorative and makes one look closer at the world and life also, one can enter exhibitions and competitions. It is a passion and requires patience and skill between the photographer and the subject.
Life goes on and I would like to build, improve and develop myself day after day with knowledge, experience of life, help and serve my family and country now and in the future under the teachings of our religion and culture. I would like to have lived knowing I am leaving a good impression of myself to please my world and meet Allah in heaven ‘inshaallah’ (God willing). We all know that we will die; therefore we have to ask ourselves some questions, what have we done with our life that would make the world a better place. What are our outlooks on the future? How, why and what for?
I have chosen Thursd@y as a nick name because my name (Khameis) means Thursday in Arabic. Flickr is the gateway to my future, I have been asked to join it by a friend of mine. I joined flickr, uploaded photos, added contacts, made friends, made comments, opened groups and joined some, updated and improved my photographic equipment. Also I developed my photography skills by using Photoshop and Paintshop. I shared my experiences, got feed back and advice and I am becoming Thursd@y the semi-pro. ☺
Missing Sheikh Zayed
As we commemorate the 34th anniversary of our National Day, we do so with a deep sense of sadness and bereavement that has filled our hearts over the passing of our father, leader and founding father of our nation- the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
الله يرحمه ويغمد روحه الجنة
Sheikh Khalifa (his son)
UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan has said that the country's great achievements, the peace and tranquillity UAE enjoys today were the fruit of the long and tedious march, hard work and perseverance led by the UAE's great leader the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
Sheikh Khalifa said the late Sheikh Zayed led this country with great wisdom and judiciously tapped the country's resources and his life to achieve comfortable and honorable life for UAE nationals and expatriates living in this country.
