IT'S FRIDAY!

After our technical discussion..                                                                                                                                                                                 (Otakku dah penat oke! Saturated, tired and I was only thinking about weekend. It was freaking 430pm, and selalunya pukol 430 aku dah start keta nak balik umah. Aku punctual ye. Kerja ialah 9 jam sahaja sehari)

Lady boss: So how's ur fasting going?

Me: Great (dengan muka tak ikhlas. Aku lapar, penat dan dahaga kot. Hang tak tau kaa aku harus balik prepare masak-masak nak berbuka? Dah 430 niii )

Lady boss: Hrrm.. I cannot imagine it. Im ok without food all day long. Infact I always skip lunch. But I need to drink lots of water.

Me: Yup exactly. Me too. I feel very tired and dehydrated towards 630 pm. I am ok in the morning, but after lunch Im gonna be so fatigue. (Dont u get me. Its a hint aku nakk balikkk! )

Lady boss: Cerita pasal next Monday punya kerja, action plan and yada yada yada..

Me: (Buat-buat interested dan besungguh-sungguh. Ergh lapar!) Hrmm next week gonna be a long weekend. Im going back to KL on Thursday evening. With the 4pm flight, I need to go off a bit early.

Lady boss: Oohh r u going for hari raya leaves next week? I thought its a week after that.

Me: Nope. Just a wekeend off. Its a long weekend.

Lady boss: Its a short week ya.

Me: No. Its a long weekend. (Dengan muka, apsal boss aku ni, tak paham aku cakap ke? )

Lady boss : Ya, its a short week.

Me: But its a long weekend.

Lady boss: Yeess. And it's a short week. Monday to Thursday. (dengan muka macam, apsal kau lembab sgt niih mangkok? )

Damn! Aku rasa bongok gila. She was talking about WEEKDAYS and I talked about WEEKEND. Short week and Long weekeend are bloody similar oke! Pastu ada hati nak lawan boss nye English term plak tu. Dia tu minah saleh kot! Haaha. But seriously I didnt notice she was talking about weekdays. Sengap lah aku. Iya, saya mengaku. Bodogos erin. (tapi kan selalu org cakap weekend, mana ada cakap weekdays.kannnn???)

Past sentence:

1) Thank God it's Friday. 2 hari lagi dia balik. Yeay!

2)  Apa-apa pun, boss aku ialah best gila and sangat understanding :) (sebab dah approve cuti kawen yeay!)

3) Date dengan Nur Kasih malam ni.

4) Cuti Jumaat depan tu apply kat makhluk keja kat Sarawak je oke. Tempat lain, sila kerja rajin-rajin.

THE BABY SMELLS OIL

Oh I have got no chance to tell more on the baby core. It was quick after the offshore that I had to go off to Kuantan pula.

Anyhow, Im glad to say that the baby core was a total success. We got all the 27m section with 100% recovery! It was not easy I tell ya. Walaupun we lost the top of H15 sand by 1 m, but that is more that enough! I should be proud to be one of them who recovered the sand. Haha~! Nak jugak credit kan. Bluek.

And to my amazement, the baby smells oil!! That means pada section itu sememangnya ada oil untuk diproduce. Macam tak percaya~ The sands are so loose and I wonder how do they actually suck the oil out from those tiny miny pore space. Subhanallah.

By the way, these are the people involved.

BUt the true hero is this happy-go-lucky and the most helpful guy :) Sangat cool and he is a definite brilliant!

Ain't he cute? Sorry Encik MNI. Tiada niat apa-apa di sini ;) Awk tetap paling comel di ati sy :D

Aku ialah membuat kerja dgn gigih ok. Walaupun aku boss kat sana tau sebenanya ;p

Dan hasilnya.

Malaslah nak kata tu handwriting aku which is to be sent to the lab. Ehhe. Aku siap sign in one of the boxes. Kasihan erin. Berbangga dan gembira sugguh dia. Ey just to be honest; the success of getting core from this sand was really one of the proudest moment in my life. Coz I know the fact of how we did learn, contribute and how much effort we did put to achieve it. Thank You :)

1402m - 1429m

I promise that I would never say bad things about geologists again. I would never say that they are so good in imagining things and whatever they are saying is 80% liar. Before this, I always doubt how they actually interpret the damn geological thingy which we absolutely do not know! Not until I saw how the geologists work with my very own eyes.

Oh my God. It was amazing.

I actually involved together with the geologists in all the procedures to cut core in H15 sand of Cendor-3A well. Starting from correlating data with offset wells - estimating the coring point - drilling - picking the coring point while they are drilling - stop the drilling - cut core !

And now the core section was completely cut and they are pulling out of hole. It's gonna be a VERY slow process with 5m per hour. They call it ROP : rate of penetration.

So, the core will probably out to surface at 5am tomorrow morning. I will definitely be on the rig floor to see the core comes out :)

I salute the wellsite geologist; Pak Agus, He acted very fast. Just imagine, while they are drilling the hole, Pak Agus had to correlate with the REAL TIME data and he has to decide on the spot where they should stop drilling. He was so cool while making the critical decision ok. Tak panic langsung. And he handled us; the juniors ini dengan hebat. Mendengar pandangan kami dan mengcompromise-kan kesemua pandangan kami dalam keputusannya. We felt appreciated lah kan of course. Macam itu lah baru betul. Not like some seniors yang tidak trust the younger ones.

And by the way, the core that we gonna see insyaAllah is 27meters long with the depth within 1402m to 1429m. I can't wait and am so freakin' excited :D

Persediaan melihat core: tidur sekarang dan bangun pada pukul 3 pagi. Pak Agus will wake us up to witness the core.

By the way, the chopper tomorrow is delayed from 7am to 4pm. I will overnyte in KB and back to KL with 645am flight on Monday.

Goodnyte. Aku tido mimpi core malam ni. Cooorreeeeee~

THE LAST DAY OFFSHORE

Have you ever wondered how do people feel when they got mocked by others? If you ask me, would say it depends on my mood swing of course. Kalau lah aku tengah hyper dan gembira-gembira, then I wouldn't mind. But if aku tgh time of the month ke kan, maka itu adalah kesilapan besar lah kau nak bermain-main api dengan aku. Hoh.

Talking bout mocking others ni, kenyataannya aku mmg di buli dengan hebat di sini. Kerana wujudnya manusia-manusia sepert Pete dan Dave yang tak senang duduk kalau tengok aku senyum gembira. Ada saje benda yang nak kenakan aku. Sotong betul.

Pertama

I was in the changing room. Bukan tempat tukar baju ya. That room is for keeping your boots,hard hats etc. So everytime you wanna go to the main deck or the working area, you would need to change your shoes into boots di bilik itu. Eh well, thank God Encik MNI ari tu suh aku pakai sport shoes dari KL. Aku hampir pakai crocs heels aku dtg sini. Kaut baru tu, setelah sebulan aku mimpikan crocs itu. Heheh. And back to the story, semasa aku tgh sibuk nak pakai boots itu, suddenly i heard org ketawa dengan sangat gigih. " Look at her socks! It's flowery and it's pink! " Damn. Lelaki itu telah melihat stokin aku yang berwarna pink dan berbunga putih. Sotong. So sejak dari hari itu, everytime jumpa aku, the first thing that he'll look at is my socks. Kemudian ketawa dengan sangat gigih. Apekah? Aku tak beniat pun nak bawak stokin tu tau. Tak sempat pun nak fikir ari tu. Main campak-campak je dalam bag.

Kedua

I was in the smoking room. I don't smoke ok but selalu lepak situ. That's where u lepak-lepak and mingle with people. Kat situ lah kalau nak kenal and networking. Seriously. If u are offshore u stuck in the cabin, tak campur orang. I bet after 3 days of course u feel like terjun laut nak swim balik onshore ;p Oh ok back to the story. While in the room, there was a chopper which was about to depart. As what I know, even though ada chopper nak depart of arrive, all personnel are allowed to be at the open area. Cuma tak boleh smoking at the open area. Pada masa itu, there were about 10 people in the room including Pete. Aku yang dah almost 1hour dok situ nak berangakt keluar. And this old man screamed at me. He went like "where are u going? Dont u know u r not allowed to go out while the chopper is here?" Muka sangat serius ok. AKu pandang si Joe, Irwan and the rest mintak simpati. Diorang pun buat muka toya sebab suma org pun takut dgn Pete si company man itu. He continued " you just sit there and stay". Aku pun dgn muka takut duduk smula. Sampai chopper blah, si lelaki itu kuar from smoking room, and the whole room gelakkan aku bedekah-dekah ok. Sebab they knew si Pete itu adalah mengenekan aku. Cuma yang lain tak dapat membantu sebab lelaki itu adalah company man kan. Sekali lagi sotong sungguh dia itu.

Ketiga

I was sleepin in the accomodation and the rig manager came to the cabin. He went " where's the lady in yellow?" Diorang kate lah aku tgh tido. Mmg aku tido the whole ptg tu pun sebab the night before tu aku tak tido pun. Then pada malamnya aku teserempak dgn si Dave itu. Dgn selamber dia becakap dgn kuat "oh this lady is awake. She's so lazy sleepin the whole afternoon".. Perlukah kau memberitahu keseluruhan org di Galley itu yg aku adalah pemalas. Sotong lah kau ini.

Keempat

I was in the queue for my dinner. Aku dah pergi kat tempat makanan tu but i didn't take my dish. Pete was there la masa itu. Aku tengok-tengok jer, then went to make neslo. Dah wat neslo baru aku nak gi amik food. Peter dengan sengaja menghalang jalan aku (he was on his way to the table) and berkata " you are having your 2nd round? U eat a lot lady~" ..Lagi skali. Perlukah kau bgth org d Galley yg aku kuat makan. Dah la pada hakikatnya aku baru nak amik food. It was not my second round pun kan. Sotong juga lelaki itu.

Kelima

Aku malas nak mkn kat Galley tadi melihat lauk pauk yg tak membuka selera. So i made a cup of neslo and brought a bun into my accomodation. Dlm galley jugak teserempak dgn Dave. Tetiba dia ckp "u r sneaking food. That's not allowed!" Aku jawab lah "it's not written that u cant eat in accomodation. And i wouldnt get stop card for that huh".And he answered " provided u share with me and i'll come to ur accomodation later." Sotong betul. Gila ape org tua itu. Nak je aku curah neslo panas kat kepala botak dia.

Keenam

AKu tgh chatting dgn Encik MNI. He came into the internet room and started to ask me macam polis. He told me "u dont even need to keep in touch with ur bf lady. You are offshore. Come on.Enjoy ur time while u r here"..Eh engkau ini. Suka hati aku lah dah aku rindu. Ehhe. Aku malas nak layan dia sibuk bnyk tanya, and I told him "I'm getting engaged. So what's up if I want to be in touch with my fiance-to-be?".Amik kau. Terdiam dia. Padan muka.Apabila sudah menyiasat hal aku dan Encik MNI, tiba-tiba pada keesokan harinya, ramai pulak yg tanya aku pasal my 'engagement'. Nampak sangat lelaki itu adalah seperti CNN.Begitu cepat dia menyampaika berita di DD-2 ini. Jatuh saham aku di DD-2. Takleh da la jadi Miss DD-2. Hoho.Sorry Encik MNI. Sy tidak berniat apa-apa ;p Oh ya, there are only 4 women on the rig. Me, Tasya , Melissa (the HSE officer yg tidak disukai ramai sebab kuat bebel) and Aisyah (the SLB engineer yg jarang nampak muka sebab SLB kan kerja dgn gigih mcm 24-7).

Bnyk lagi lah kejadian-kejadian pembulian yg berlaku. Tapi aku tak amik ati lah. I took hem as jokes. Kene;lah faham org offshore ni kalau dah lebih 2 weeks tak balik onshore, sumanya sengal-sengal belaka. Yang buat aku panas, 2 org tua itu sajer. Yang lain suma ok. Seronok berkawan even though baru-baru je kenal kan. They are from different backgrounds and I learnt lots of things from them. The thing with offshore nih, yes u make frens with people. Tapi baru je rasa comfortable, diorang kene balik and ganti ngan org lain plak. So kene make new frens lagi. Leceh. Kalau tak ringan mulut, kau mati kutu, dok sesorang and terjun laut la lepas tu. Hoh.

I'm going back tomorrow morning. With the 7am chopper. But flight from KB-KL is fully booked. Let's see if I can get the earliest flight on Monday so that I could get to the office at least after lunch. Oh btw, they are still coring the section Mungkin malam ini siap lah kot kalau everything goes well.

Till then.

NASI BERIANI TIKUS

No wonder people sometimes feel what they are doing is not what they have been wanting. Or they actually want to do this one thing, but at the same time other things are waiting for better attention. Or even worse, you have no choice but to take that one and only option.

Come on erin, you decide what you want.

Well, at this very moment, even though I'm enjoying myself on this rig, I could not let my mind out of the office work. Somehow, I've been kind of regretting that I could not go to office and I missed lots of things that I consider important, at least for myself. Lagi lah apabila aku membaca email dari senior aku ini tadi siang.

Erin,

Thank for yr support

RETW
It was very fun & memorable. I've managed to present it and the massage was delivered properly and well understood. I think our paper is among the best paper and I received good feedback from participants. Mentioned by you, I got RM 200 Kunorkoniyo? voucher, I plan to give RM50 to Dr Nasir, You RM 50, and me heheheh RM100. Boleh tak? <-- Aku SANGAT nak attend workshop ini ok. I've been dying to present the paper because that is the opportunity and as a reward for us after working on the project bermati-matian selama setahun. I don't care much bout the voucher or whatnots of course. Tp bley tahan jugak senior aku ni, nak voucher lebey nampak. Haha.Tak kesah pun, nak amik suma pun I have no problem at all. He deserves it. Aku juga mendapat berita bahawa Assan juga present dengan bagus. Ada sedikit jeles di sini because I should be presenting jugak. Hoh. SIkit je jeles. Itu jeles sihat nama dia. Ehheh.


AGM (Acid Gas Capability Development Workshop)
The meeting will be held in this afternoon, the pack is now ready to be presented, very sad you are not here to check the pack :(, but pls feel free to ask me later, FYI, I've received the final FDP in softcopy, aku suruh budak OSR print-out and filing it. I plan to bring it this afternoon. <-- I almost forgot about the workshop. Gila betul aku nih. it's not easy to be in the Acid Gas Management group. And it is throughout the whole Petronas. First workshop aku sudah tidak menghadirkan diri, Apekah? And aku serta senior sepatutnya present on our final findings jugak masa workshop ini, Maka senior aku jugak yg present. At first, we agree if aku present for RETW, he'll be presenting for this workshop. Tapi in the end, aku stuck di offshore, and suma senior aku yg buat. I felt a bit guilty la actually, but he said that's ok. Ala dia mmg mcm itu. Gunung api meletup skali pun, dia ialah sangat cool dan bertenang. And he will never say NO. Jahat aku selalu taichi benda kepada senior aku ini. Huuu.


Nasi Berani Tikus
2moro, I'll belanja nasi berani tikus, ehhehe <-- Somehow aku suke betul la tajuk makanan ini. Sangat aneh dan menggelikan hati. Hahaha. Tak kesah pun lah kan tak mkn nasi beriani tikus ni esok, aku akan pau senior aku ni apabila aku pulang nanti. Ekekke. Dia dah bnyk kali pon banjer aku makan. Kesian dia. Aku utang dia skali makan jugak sebab aku dah janji to treat him after my PPA award ari tuh.

Regards,

Faizal

Begitulah ceritanya. If I were not offshore this week, I must be attending all the events. But ya..you cannot get everything at one go right, Sometimes you lose something to gain something. Tapi aku selalu macam nak wat suma benda, tapi tak berdaya tak cukup tangan and of course tak cukup masa, then asyik fikir, pastu pening kepala sendiri. It's a big no-no erin, mind ya.

Sudah. Sambung kerja.

Past Sentence : Did u realize its August 8th 2008? Chantekk tarikh ini. 08/08/08. Terus teringat kepada No'or yang ntah idup tidak tatau tidak ada berita dia pun. He must be cracking his heart out with this date.

DEEP DRILLER-2

Yes, I am on the rig. I can still blog for God's sake!

OMG.Life sucks big time here. I had been dying to go up here, spending time in the middle of the sea. Kononya lah. Yes I can definitely say I could adapt here.I don't mind staying here, working here PROVIDED I have ral operations work to do.

Kerana sekarang ini, aku dtg sini adalah di bawah company lain, and even worse the company man is not even the subsidiaries, maka dengan itu aku ialah agak terkontang-kanting di sini. The worst, coring yang sepatutnya merupakan motif utama aku dihantar ke sini, adalah ter-delay sampai end of this week. It is supposed to take place on Tuesday. Habes, sementara coring itu belum berlaku, apekah motif aku sekarang? Pendek kata, aku hanya menunggu sambil makan tido dah pergi operations site when I feel like going. Selalunya aku akan pergi utk drilling sebab aku tersangat suka dgn drilling engineering. Btw, I asked for drilling engineer during interview, and this company was KIND enough to position me as reservoir engineer. That answers kenapakah aku amat tidak suka dengan pekerjaan aku sekarang. Walaupun aku kelihatan amat gembira. Lakonan semata. Period.

Called Encik MNI this morning. Tidak berangkat. Definitely he was still sleeping at 10am on Sunday. Sedey tetapi menabahkan hati. I am quite fragile here I would say.Fragile in the sense aku cepat sedey, and ati selalu sebak. Not that I am fragile to guys k, sorry not that type. Ehhe. Entah la seramai-ramai makhluk lelaki kat sini, tade 1 pun yg wat aku goyah ok. Hahaha. Definitely sebab my mind is so into Encik MNI. No one else :)

Naseb baik ptg tadi berjaya meng-called dia. Lega dpt becakap. It's just that I want to hear his voice. That's enuff. Gila lah penangan Encik MNI ini. Mereng aku dibuatnya :p

I want to go back.Nak balik onshore. I miss home. I miss my gurlfrens. I miss him.Walaupun kalau balik onshore, kami tak bejumpa pun selalu. But I miss talking to him every night.

K, I need to sleep. nak bangun pukul 2 pagi nanti. Casing point akan di pick, akan run casing, cement, run logs and start drlling 8 1/2 inch plak.

Nyte.
