creating storm clouds in my head
I just love to create impossible problems in my head and get headaches about it. Lol. It isn't healthy you know. Hence the reason I haven't really update ziltch on my blog. I've been facebook-ing though! Yeah, yeah....I know people have been going on about it for ages already, but what the hey! Atleast I've got the hang of it now. So I've been super-poking, super-walling and note-ing my free time to death on facebook (or as most savvy people would say...FB. lol! its the IM abbreviated world all over again) and its pretty fun though superbly time wasting. But then again...can you really call it time wasting since we're connecting with old friends and getting to know new friends even better? Personally, I think FB is great. Enough said.So ok, I've got a career now. Haha....its funny. I just never imagined I'll get to a point where my life is all about getting to work and hauling my arse back home through ridiculous traffic jams. But here I am, and me thinks me like it! I just can never be idle if I can help it. I just get the itch all over.
My official title is a Reservoir Engineer working with ExxonMobil Malaysia. I basically have to do a heap load of surveillance and get as much oil as possible out of the ground, my work in a nutshell really. Its pretty cool. And I've been to my oil platforms!! That was an experience I am not going to forget very soon. Ok, for those of you who have no idea what an oil platform looks like...its basically a box of metal on steel stilts with tons of mechanical parts and loud noises. I have to scream to talk to my ExxonMobil mates on board! Maybe its because of the ear plugs that we have to wear and we're expected to communicate at the same time...err, like how? Screaming...yup screaming is the only answer. Ok maybe not screaming as if you're chased by muggers...just speak as loud as you possibly can.
And the food.....I literally thought I was going to be fed sludge and slurry. But no! The people there are served with 5 star food and I am not kidding when I say 5 star since the chef is from a fancy restaurant here in Shah Alam ^_^ Amazing chow I must say...and oh yeah, the Production Supervisor, Balber, is such an adorable gentleman. He told me "You've got to try our home made ice-cream. Its the best!" And it was! And me and Effie (one of my ExxonMobil mates) ate like....one styroform cup full of it. Sedap giler! *Sorry, I'll be dropping names here and there - haven't properly introduced any of you readers to my friends have I? Beg your pardon. Will explain who they are whenever I write about them*
I get to see all my wells and the things that I can work with from the office. I'm not ever going to take the offshore people for granted. They really work superbly hard. I'm so pumped with adrenaline to get back to work after that offshore trip! It was cool.
Wowie...I managed to write more than 2 words. Nice =) Alrighty, I'll be coming back here soon. So watch this space. Later mates!
