Moments of 2009

Another 9 1/2 hours to welcoming a new year.

I must say that year 2009 is one of the most happening year in my life, at least up to now.

Completed my degree and this also denotes the 1st time since 7 years old that I don't need textbook/ thick reference book sticking on my hands most of the time...

Graduated...

Landed my first job as an engineer in Shell. I must say god must have blessed me 9 9. Thanks.. although it was too soon that I have insufficient time for my holidays.

Start receiving paychecks.. and it's a lot better than monthly allowances during university time.
At least I started contributing financially to my family, pay for my car, living and more freedom on spending. That's why I have yet saved any. Maybe dimes...

Got my 1st car. Although it's not the car that I aim to get, but I am satisfy that this underpowered, harsh, floaty, low-quality interior with crappy ICE car is bought at a very reasonable price and appears to be lasting (if you minus the rattle, suspension noise etc.).

With lousy ICE comes great spending for ICE. Previously, I'm not planning to keep the car for long. So instead of the plan to change the whole audio system, I add in an active subwoofer. Result is satisfactory as I need more bass in my car to offset high pitch (cause from car rattles...lolz kidding). Nah, the sound still suck since the head unit is still original plus I'm using a modulator and the car NVH is below par with Jap. Continentals are still good in NVH nevertheless.

It seems that most of the happening are more of necessities rather than wants. But I am thoroughly happy with the big change in my life.

Office in Weekend= Library in Unim

Spend some of my weekend hours in the office. Nostalgically, this scenario reminds me back at the days when I visited the library. Spent the 1st 30 mins fiddling books, and the remaining hours chatting with friend, surfing internet while waiting for friends call to go for a short (like 40 mins) tea break outside the university. And now, I'm waiting for colleagues' call to head for cinema.. tickets bought already anyway. Life in Miri is much more easy going than in KL. Office is just 5 minutes away from my home, cinema/ town 15 minutes from office. No jam, more time, but lack of crazy funny stuff to do. Hope my boss don't see this... ahaha..just kidding but hey, isn't today Saturday?!

1st Time @ Sarawak Offshore

Day 1: I boarded a helicopter from Miri Airport. It was my first time in a helicopter and was amazed that a passenger helicopter can actually carry 20+ passenger. It took almost an hour to reach the destination, E11 platform. We stopped by a platform in the middle of the journey to pick up two passengers. Immediately after arrival, we went to meet the medic, had a quick lunch and undergo safety briefing. Safety is very critical especially at offshore since it is isolated, and even significant since I'm attached to HSE department. E11 crew was very busy for the whole day due to start up process. Therefore, me and another HSE manager had to stay in our room, waiting for tea time in the evening. Then we returned to our room, waiting for dinner in the late evening. Then we returned to our room again, waiting for supper. So it was all about food that day! Anyway, we were given reading material, the E11 HSE Case but that was not sufficient for the many hours. Day 2: As a p...

Infactuation

Somehow, I grew fond of her. I wanted to see her everyday, be with her. Today, I spent 3 hours washing her on the inside. Finally she's clean. I bet previously her master does not take care of her that well, can see from misalignment, poor hygiene etc. Then, in the evening I took her to an accessory shop and present her an arm rest. It suited her rather well. I've just kick started my career so hope she will bear with me. I promised to get her something nicer when I'm better off with my job. demure looking Man, I can't wait to see her in skirts. Her 'future' skirts... Don't swt...
