Labuan Visit

Visited Labuan for the 1st time several weeks ago for work purpose. Had to visit Labuan CrudeOil Terminal for familiarization on site and also the environmental monitoring work.

Was there for 3 days but did not have the opportunity to go around the island since the time was so packed. Anyway, a brief search on the net showed nothing much Labuan can offer as a tourism spot. Even the biggest mall, Financial Mall, is rather empty. Perhaps, Labuan is only all about tax-free.

Stayed at Labuan Waterfront. Albeit old, the hotel was quite well equipped and has its own identity. Overlooking waterfront and and a small jetty, the scenery is not bad, minus the smell of the breeze. However, the mood deteriorate if you looked at the water close enough.
Nice hotel, nice view, moderate cleaniness, bad hotel food. The food in hotel was way below par. Had my dinner and breakfast in hotel inevitably because there seemed to be no restaurant nearby.

Anyway, visiting Labuan was a new exposure. At least now I realised that I am working in a better town.

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...

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?!

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...
