from west alliance with love...

this post is slightly belated as i haven't had the time to breathe (the good type) ever since i got back from the rig...

i flew out to miri on the 14th and had the chance to meet up with a friend for dinner. nice town i have to say... much better than labuan for sure. and then i flew out to the rig the very next day.

the rig is similar to west setia so i had no problem finding my way there. anyway, i was there for about a week before the job got cancelled (not gonna discuss the technicality of the job here). pretty disappointing considering the fact that we were so prepared...

despite it being a similar rig to the west setia, the experience of being offshore is still pretty new to me therefore i still find it interesting. the conditions humans are capable of enduring, the brains that are at work... it's all really amazing stuff... and not to mention the view - simply breathtaking. i have to say being surrounded by the sea is a better environment than to be surrounded by the desert... =)

anyway, here's a few pics taken on the rig...

told you the rig has breathtaking views...

schlumberger and our big, ass kicking equipments...

and at the end of it all, i took a few days off to go home... yup, home sweet home... it's actually for the follow-up on my eye treatment but at this point, any trip back home on any reason is great news...=)
