Reunion Day - In the name of Birthday Celebration ~ Kean Joo's

Last Saturday we got the opportunity to gather the few of us up to celebrate Kean Joo's birthday and by then we realize it really have been some time since we met up, probable most of us is having their busy schedule around the corner and also hard to dedicate a specific time to come out and enjoy life together as old time. However, we were able to gather the 7 of us @ Old Town Cafe located along the Loke Yew Road on Saturday (19-04-08) for early dinner, as Winnie and the FT guys need to head over to their activities. Below would be some of the shots that i took :)




It was a great outing and would like to wish Kean Joo, Happy Birthday as his birthday falls on tomorrow :D

Offshore Diary @ T9 for 2 weeks

Have been away from KL since 31 March 08 until 12 April 08 where i return back to KL after two weeks. This was a PE job that i attended, had an eye opener for the job, perhaps i should learn more about the job. Okay, enough about that, some of the photos that were taken throughout the trip at T9 that i would like to share with you :)

Here goes, enjoy...



The life at T9 was relaxing as i was on standby while waiting for the job to commence on Thursday night, which means that i was there without much work for about a week plus. Stressful at first as i am not use to being too free at times, so took the time to do some reading and some movies to kill sometime while admiring the sunset view at the end of everyday while wating for the job to commence and also for me to step foot on the helipad to depart and proceed back to KL.

I got out of the rig on Saturday, late afternoon so not able to catch the last flight back to KL but luckily i was not alone. Met a great guy, not from the perspective of a gal, but from a guy :) He was friendly and easy going where we had a great time chatting and teasing one of the other guy :) We had dinner, seafood at Kuantan along with the driver and also went to chill out at the lounge. You are not going to belief what i saw. I saw all in the lounge, all 3 skin color, young and old, thin and fat and many more. You dont get to see that in town :)

Took the earliest flight possible to come back to KL to be home once again :) Missed all the great stuff in KL, especially the great food :)

Delayed : Chee Lung's Wedding Photos

Yeah, Chee Lung is getting married !!! No longer SINGLE and AVAILABLE !!!

Sigh, been busy after the dinner as i was send off to rig for about 2 weeks where the internet connection speed and realiability is doubtful. At last got the time to upload those photos to my photo album. The quality may not be great, as my skills and techniques still needs much improvements also, i seriously need a flash for this kind of photoshoot :S

Here is the slideshow of the photo album:




Need to get you guys a copy of the photos, give me a shout for the location :) Know this is a bit late, but want to wish CL, Happy Marriage and may you have a loving family :)

MH - Malaysia Hospitality

That is what was claimed, but how true? Sad to say, not very true for me as i tried to call their hotline for several times, put on hold while waiting for the telephone operator to pick up the call when i tried to book my flight back from Kuantan to KL on last Saturday and Sunday.

But to no avail, after waiting for about 20 minutes on each of the calls, there was still no pick up and only listen to the retarded voice on the call. So stupid, luckily i could use the speakerphone to make that call, at least i need not hold on to the phone while waiting for 20 minutes for each of the call, for about 4 or 5 calls that i have made. The time that i made the calls were late night, soon to midnight and also in the early morning of Sunday like about 2am. I am really wondering who is calling into the call center to jam up all the phone lines or there would only be one operator for the whole night with all 50 phones ringing? Gosh, i would never know of the answer but guess the service quality is poor.

Imagine how much i have spend to call that number, waited for so much of time and eventually not manage to even get my flight ticket booked. Why bother to have that number in the first place? Crap...

Out in the ocean

Been one week plus being away from home, since 31st March 08. Have not done much through out the week plus, and so is the coming few more days, probably until Thursday or Friday. What have i been doing for the past few days or weeks? Hmm... Nothing much, mostly spend my relax on the rig and also understand a little about the job that they are currently doing now. Probably now looking forward to go home as soon as possible as i left someone behind that i care much and would like to spend some time with the person before more things pop up in the coming days. Hmm, looking at the upcoming jobs, it seems that i might need to go for another job also, probably next week, so would much love to spend much time for those that i care and love.

What i missed most? Friends that i have, my loving family, food in kl (oriental style or snacks), KL busy yet ever changing lifestyle, driving my car around town, newly downloaded movies or anime, not to forget would be my internet connection, handphone network, PS2, my comfy bed or room and etc. Those i miss the most which i take it for granted in my normal days in town.

What would i like to do when back in town? Shopping, eat those food that i fancy, spend some time with my family and friends and etc. Hmm, would like to go do some challenging stuff also such like the wall climbing which was said much earlier but was not executed, perhaps it is time to go for it, so that to get another hobby i can spend time with. Lets hope it get happen :)

Nah, that's all for now. More updates later when i feel like writing more :) For all my friends and family out there, may your life me more happening than mine. But in fact, i already get used to the life here, more relaxing and laid back for myself as i dont have much work as those other guys here, but anyway those are the life actually. Just the feel of doing not much and also being away from family, friends and town once in a while to a land of no where.

My night experience

Was at the helipad for about an hour just now. Was there with a friend to chat while killing some of the night time. Had soem fresh air for the day, sea breeze. Saw a lot of rigs nearby, flamed by the burnout which cause much light to the skies and also to the sea. Nice scenery but too bad i don't have my gears with me, i refer to my camera :)

Saw a lot of planes flew by, but then come to notice that i am not in one of those plane to be heading to some other location other than where i am standing now. Looking forward for the day where i am on one of the metal plane, flying back to the destination from where i came from.
Also i saw a lot of stars in the sky. I wished upon the stars that my dear wish will come true. Haha... Kiddy me, but just a hope worth hoping for. What is life without hope? What could hope be if not life?

Where i am...

Been away for 5 days already, did nothing much for the past few days. Where i am now?
Been traveling from KL to Kuantan (31/3/08), stayed 3 days 2 nights in Kemaman town then on 2/4/08 was scheduled to fly in to the rig eventually. Upon arrival, got to know that schedule got delayed and this means that my task only would be starting by next week, probably Thursday which also means one week of nothing much to do on the rig just waiting for the days to past so that i can start my job and leave the rig and travel back to KL asap as i misses those back in KL. Kind of miss my home already . Counting days, been about 5 days passed, another 8 more to go. Tonight going to be the third night on the rig. Sigh, starting to feel cold already due to the air-cond but hot during the day, fucked this is the most easiest way to fall sick and sick is not what i need here.

Another problem that i have currently, is that i forget to equip myself with an alarm clock, can't get myself to wake up on time everyday. Sigh. Thought it got all covered this time, but it seems that i am wrong still, sigh. Need to add that to my Things-To-Bring next time. Other than that, i guess i got all i need other than my pillow, bed, PS2, computer and streamyx, not to forget my HANDPHONE. I don't have any hand phone now, its with some one and i pray for its safety. Feels so weird without my phones, like lost my tail or something. Sigh.

What have i been up to these few days? Been watching movies lately to keep myself busy and also from boredom. Need to think what can i do for the upcoming few more days to come. Killing time is my main task daily for now until i reach back KL. Yesterday was at the helideck with one of the guy walking around it for god knows how many round, but i followed cause i got noting much to do and then sat down. Was wondering or looking forward for the day i touch on to the helipad to board the chopper to go back to land.

Thats all for now, will post more later when i know what to write...

Lonely weekend and days

Currently i am blogging from my office in Kemaman, lunch time but i decided not to eat as i don't feel like eating and also dislike travelling out as it was raining. So stayed in office instead and while surfing the internet.

The reason why i am over at Kemaman as i am waiting for me to travel offshore. Supposingly to have travelled yesterday, but has been delayed to a later date where i am not aware of it. Tentitavely should be on this coming Thursday which means that i need to stay at Kemaman for another few days, probably three days here in the Safura Hotel at the main road of Chukai.

Now still pending on the latest schedule to see when i can go offshore and also later travel back to KL as soon as possible to reunite with my friends and families. If you were to ask me how's my life these few days, i would say that it is kind of boring as i have nothing much to do lately in the hotel, most of the time finding something to kill the boredom times. As for the internet, it is not bundled with the hotel, i have to use my own Celcom Broadband to get online, the speed is only 115kbps and the connection kind of bad and lousy, but it is better than nothing at all.

Hope things goes well and hopefully i can return by weekend, but i doubt if that could come true as the schedule is kind of messed up actually. Now hoping for things to get better and sorted out as soon as possible. May all end well eventually.
