Friendship? What is that?

What is friendship for to you?

I am someone who really appreciate friendship. Most of my friend knows about that. I care about my lover, my family member, last but not least, my friend. I couldn't live without them.

Sometimes, I realise that some people really take friendship for granted. When they have problem, they will ask the help from you. When they break up or argue with the boy friend or girl friend, they will call you out to talk to you.

But...but... Once they are happily-ever-after with the partner, friendship? What is that?

Yam char? Not free, tired, busy with work, need to watch movie with boy friend, bla bla bla...

Friend for them is always at the last place. Unless their boy friend or girl friend not free, family member not free, colleague not free, client not free, then only will give the outing opportunity to their friend.

Although some of my friends are like that, I have scolded them, angry with them, remind them that they couldn't do so anymore. Still every time when they call me out, when they are hurt by the boy, I am still there for them.

Haih...

earth hour

28/03/09...

2030 hours...

is that too much to ask?

-earth hour-

ps: i've always had trouble convincing ppl around me to be more conscious about the environment... a friend once said that it's ironic i work in the oil and gas business... but i think we do what we can to make the world a better place... no?

Oh my Malaysia

While people are discussing about how to solve the shortage of man power like not enough teacher problem and debating about the pro and con of using robot to replace human, my beloved country Malaysia still demonstrating about whether to use English or Malay Language for our education medium langue.

Japan robot, Saya

Both of us also consider as Asia country. Their history is not too old compare to Malaysia. I know that United State or Europe countries have a history few hundred more than Malaysia so our education system, human right, citizen civilisation are not as good as them is something acceptable for me. ( Monolog: excuse! ) Malaysia is only 5 or 6 hours flight from Japan! And why we are soooo sooooo damn behind them?! ( sorry really couldn’t control myself )

I love Malaysia. However, sometimes, on certain issues, I really couldn’t show my passionate towards Malaysia. Why couldn’t you guys just make Malaysia better? Ok…one step back, I am not so greedy and requesting you to be as good as Japan. But, at least, please don’t embarrasses ourself? Couldn’t you?

It is my country, your country, OUR country. Accept it or not, it is a fact that you will never able change. Since then, why don’t at least everyone do something for it’s own good?

Sigh….

happy birthday!

my love,

just want to wish you a happy, happy birthday... although we're far apart, but our hearts are always together...

i love you... =)

What's After SPM

There is a campaign called ‘ What’s after SPM?’. It collects the story what happen to you after your SPM from all the Malaysian. Check this out http://www.whatsafterspm.blogspot.com/

Hope to see young Malaysians are brave enough to do what they want, and to have a different and beautiful road from others. =)

ps: for whoever read my previous blog, I have remove it since it is a serious project which I feel it is not right to put add in 'my way' of comment on it.

from the ss3 with love...

yup, i'm back on the ss3 - this time at sfjt-b (south furious jacket b) performing mostly ct jobs... we're here mostly for the chemicals and also on the pumping side... but then again, once on site, we're all wearing blue coveralls and we all have this big word 'schlumberger' plastered on our back... =)

this time around, i guess i've been busier than most of my other experiences offshore... barely had time to spend with my camera or books and i guess i only called home once in the 2 weeks i've been here? but i somehow still manage to sneak in a few shots...

the now very familiar view of the ss3 with sfjt-b in the background

sunrise from the ss3 with mt kinabalu to the right

i thought i've missed the sunset...

and 1 minute later, the sky turned bright orange...

i know my offshore posts are laden with sunrise/ sunset pics... but truth be told, i'll never get tired of these views... it is amazing to be in the middle of the wide blue ocean and let the beauty of nature take your breath away... i could honestly stand on the heli deck for hours (if only i had hours to spend...) during sunrise/ sunset times just to watch the skies above... so when i get the opportunity, i'll snap away hungrily at these views but my pics never do nature justice... it is something that you have to see it for yourself to appreciate it's beauty...

oh yeah, on another note... i think cl mentioned before that my offshore posts are always very dull without much description on my job... i've explained that i didn't want to reveal anything that i should not disclose on a public site... and just 2 weeks ago, we received a mail asking us to be prudent in making online statements via blogs, facebook groups and etc... i guess a world without boundaries has it's ups and downs...

then again, when have i ever said anything negative about slb, right? =)

whatever the circumstance is, the experience gained over the past 2 years (almost) is definitely character building experience... and every job that i've been to adds to my personality and broadens my horizon... for that i will always be thankful of this opportunity... yes, the work is tough and the hours are sometimes almost impossible... but i've been warned before and i've accepted the offer knowing the path ahead... so can't complain much there can i?

note: i'm working nights on this campaign (6pm to 6am) so i wake up to sunsets instead of sunrises... which is pretty weird... makes me feel like i sleep too much... =)

Jokes of the Day

While I am having lunch with one whole bunch of Structural Engineers, these are some jokes I got today.

Joke A
There is one Chinese professor came to my university to give some class on integration and differentiation. After all the derivation, the lecturer look at me and said, I know...you must be thinking of the equation in 4D, but don't do so, just take the whole equation and integrate in 3D, then you will understand.

Actually when I am walking out of the lecture hall, my brain is not even thinking of the equation in 2D.

ps: for non-engineering reader, 3D means X Y and Z axis, 4 D means XYZ and time axis.

Joke B
In a bioengineering project, calculation/algebra guy will give a report of 400 pages.

Engineer will give 200 pages.

But, biology guy will only give 10 pages.

Lame? ok la...
