Today ...

Today started off with a loud Cantonese Happy Birthday song just right after I opened my eyes ... gazing at that photo I took with Anna on my phone, I received an MMS ... with is pretty new to me, not alot of people will MMS me although they sms me alot ...

Matt's birthday is today too ... seems I found one more person who was born the same day as me !!
Team A started their first day in Atlas today, as well as Lindsay ... However, it might not be a good start because the Geo underestimated the presence of Moolayember and Clematis for FV 412 OB_1. However, I think they sorted it out finally around evening ...

Went Sushi on Felix Street again, yesterday I tried Spider (soft shell crab) with cream cheese shushi and the California Roll which is abit different. Today, I tried the sweet chilli prawn, with mango and cream cheese shushi and Cripsy Chicken with avocado. There are really great sushi over here in Brisbane. Different combination of ingredient and the sushi rice are of good quality ... It sticks well together but it just don't stick onto your throat creating uneasiness after you eat them! Will try the one in Adelaide street soon ...

Today there has been some gossip between the girls in the office. Shalene was not too comfortable hearing that I had a cup on my hard hat when I went out to Atlas. Julie was the one who started that topic. Then, from no where ... some private issues became their topic ... Shalene suddenly turned to me and ask me am I finding someone to get married to!!! That question was so sudden ... except sudden I just could not find a better description for it ... While I was thinking of my answer, Tim said :"I think she found herself a few options in the Atlas rig". The way he said it was quite funny, but I was just blushing there. I just don't fucking understand sometimes why when I talk to people, my face and ears will turn red and I will feel blood gushing up to my face. These effects became more significant when I am here and especially after I drink coffee. I just hate it!!! Sometimes, when I need to present something about what I am doing, when I started the first word ... the face turn red and warm. I guess sometimes Simon saw it and tried to supress his laughter! But, I could see a sinister smile on his face!Anyway, I still need to keep talking with that red bloody face ...

The day endedwith a surprise ... something I never expected ... "2705 A parcel @ reception". I think I know who send me the parcel, but I never expect to carry it all the way up to 27 floor. The reception who pass me that bouque kept "wow-ing".

Today, I got some thoughts as usual ...
When I evaluate my liking towards male ... I discovered something ... That discovery is not new but its some extension to my previous preferences. I feel I am more attracted to male who are at their mid thirties and I think the age level has increased from late twenties. Attracted not as in wanting them as my boy friend or anyhting in that category ... But, I do prefer older guys because of their thoughts and maturity. Roughuishly handsome is the word, where you could see the wisdom behind the face with abit of wrinkles at the side of the eyes ... I just find it to be attractive to me ...

Anyway, I thank all my friends for wishing me Happy Birthday ...
Thanks Sufen and Chee Fai for calling me midnight yesterday ...
Happy Birthday to anyone who were born today some years ago as well!!!

I miss Atlas 1 ...

I have been missing the life in Atlas 1 since I left her 2 weeks ago ...

Things have been changing ...
When I was there, she was drilling FV 206 OB_1
Within 2 weeks she completed 3 wells and now she is in FV 412 OB_1, about to move to FV 412 OB_2. People wise, Team A left on holidays for 2 weeks and is about to commence this coming Wednesday for 2 weeks. After I left, Mike Cane left as well... Bruce started his shift again until the same day I leave Brisbane which is 11 Feb. Julie and Tony are going to Atlas 1 in the coming week. People from Caza were different too. Jason was still there, Eddy and Scottie left while Mark and Sam came. Things are really changing so fast on a 2 weeks basis.

Whatever emotions, memories, firendship are changing on a 2 weeks basis as well ...
2 days ago, I texted Phil ... he said I am team A material but fuckin' left them ...
But, what to do ... as much as I don't want to leave CSG Drilling and Completions, I am leaving them behind in less than 2 weeks time as well ...

In office, things were changing on a 2 weeks basis too ...
New engineer Dina came, they went to Gunnadah for MCD-33 rig start up ... new rig came and old rig released ... There is another fresh graduate entering after I left in 2 weeks time as well ... And Time came back from his 3 weeks holidays, I still remember when he was out there installing piezos in Atlas 1 ... Matt asked me to ask him about pipe stretcher, its so embarrassing!!!

For EWG 102, I think Chris is still there ... But, Damo is for sure resigning ...
Not much memories in EWG 102 ... If Chris and Damo was not there, I would have already been bored to death

Today when I had my lunch ... some thoughts flash through... remembering Simon my project leader telling me he is bringing me to Atlas 1 for 1 week at the first day I started in Santos. That time they were installing their first ever piezometer onto one of their observation wells. I could not tag along because I have to go to IPTC. That time, I don't really know what are piezos but I felt abit upset because I always wanted to go out to the field and see things rolling. Apart from that I was also afraid that I might not have chance to go out there again looking at the fact that I need to tag along with someone because I don't have a 4 wheel drive licence to drive from Roma to the rig. Today, I was grateful not being able to go with Simon on the first week because if I would have gone, I would not meet Team A and Team A would not have to chance to meet me. Maybe at that time the company man was not Lindsay and Bruce, it was Graham Cole (not good!) or someone else. A quote came out of my mind .... saying

" Don't be regret over something that does not happen the way you it want to be, because everything happens for a reason and its time that reveals them"

waiting for the days where I first touch down KLIA after 6 months ...
waiting for the days where I will be stationed in PETRONAS twin towers ...
