Having Disappeared....

First of all I know it has been super long that I last touched this blog.I was away, travelling for work, also been on the rigs on and off. The new job is taking away a lot of my "free time" but I am glad that I am learning and of course "earning" as well. LOL...Hopefully I will have much more consistent time in updating this blog bit by bit.

Here's some long dued photos that I took in Houston.

the city downtown, quite far away and I took it from the highway. hehe...it looks great from here, but it is actually quite quiet at night. I only passed by at night to visit some restaurants, and I don't really see many pedestrians or shoppers like what we always see in Bukit Bintang area. It was just...quiet. :) 

San Jacinto Monument. Probably an hour and half drive away from the down town area. A very historical place to visit, great place of interest for those history lovers and also photographers. :)

That's me, smilling. It was said that the monument is 570ft tall and is 12 ft taller than Washington DC monument.

That's the Texas Battleship, nearby the San Jacinto Monument. It cost around $10 to board the ship. But i chose to just walk around and took pictures of it. I have too much time on the water already. LOL...and oh, ignore the protruding belly please. **shy** I promise will lose that round thing. LOL...

That's all from me for now. Looking forward to next update! ( I hope soon!)

On the sea...

I have been on the sea for 34 days now. Don't worry, i am still sane, but i am sure i am not going for a cruise for my vacation in the future. LOL.

Here are some photos again for your pleasure. LOL...i know it's just sea, but well, i guess the water that passes through is different everyday. hehe...

Just a joke of the day. A friend said to me: " I don't want you to jump down the sea ok? I am afraid you will cause tsunami.". For one second i thought there's some care and concern, but well.... sweat!. hahaha....

Have a good day everyone!

Field Engineers

Something to laugh about I guess?

Ok, back to mud pit, i mean work. :D

Sun set!

Another set of photos! This time sun set. Too bad my DSLR is not with me, if not the photos quality will be better. :( 

soon! 

after few minutes. :) beautiful aint it?

Happy Chinese New Year from offshore! :)

Sun rise

I was about to go to bed after finishing my shift at 630am in the morning, but I saw these beautiful sceneries that I couldn't resist to take pictures even by just using my HTC phone. How I wished I had brought my DSLR with me. :( 

But then, here you go. :) Thank God for wonderful sun rise! 

Waiting on Weather

The weather was bad for the past few days and the operation was waiting on weather (WOW). We were supposed to install our equipment on the riser, and to do that we need to have man riding operation (having people to be lifted over the sea to connect equipment on the riser). In case of man overboard (people dropping into the sea), we need rescue boat to be standby near the rig. So due to the bad weather and crazy waves, the boat couldn't come by thus waiting on weather in order to resume operation.

Therefore, in the midst of boredom while waiting, I took the time to update my "long outdated" blog with some pictures. LOL. But then, seriously, there's nothing much to be captured out here. -.-....

Helideck! Only water out at the horizon. Nothing else. 

More water... 

Crane at rest. Anyone wants bungee jump? 

Some night view, great lights. haha... 

Left one standing.

Alright.Back to waiting, again.

Glen Nevis

After spending a night in Fort William (pictures will be posted soon, hehe....), we took off heading Glasgow. On the way, we passed by Glen Nevis, one of the most beautiful routes on earth (According to my standard of course. LOL).

Beautiful aint it?

Can you see the top?

By the way, it was super cold! But I challenged the temperature and stood there for a pic! Challenge Success! ahhaha...

So beautiful...remind me of Switzerland? hahaha....

Edited Picture. How do you think? :D

Glenfinnan Scotland

Gosh...it has been like 2 months since I last touched my blog. haha...my "blogging career" has failed terribly. LOL.

Anyway, since I am rotting away in the hotel in Labuan at the moment, I might as well upload some photos from my previous trips. :)

One of my favourite places in Scotland will be Glenfinnan. It's a small place at the east side of Scotland, near to Fort William. But for me it's a great place with breathtaking scenery. :)

If you are a Harry Potter fan, this might look familiar to you. It's the Glenfinnan Viaduct, it appeared in the movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Go check it out. :D

Another view from top of the hill

In order to appreciate the beautiful scenery, I had to climb a small hill and this is the top of the hill.

Yes, the trail I "trekked" through...and yes, that's my bag "abandoned" there. LOL.

Beautiful eh? wait until you see.....

THIS! can you see the layers of the mountains? so cool right? I spent some precious quiet time up there alone, admiring the awesome creation. hehe...very good experience, but was very cold. LOL.

Yeap, Glenfinnan conquered! LOL.

Old Aberdeen and University of Aberdeen

The first day I was in Aberdeen, the sun set at around 9pm. LOL....Well, at least i spent my time walking around to discover the city nearby my hotel.

Peaceful road in the Seaton Park

nice little house in Old Aberdeen

Saint Machar's Cathedral, i think a bit too peaceful? hahaa...

Somewhere near University of Aberdeen! so nice right?

King's College Chapel in Old Aberdeen

reminds me of a Disney cartoon show...haha..

why didn't I study in such beatiful place? :(

Aberdeen May 2011

I am trying to fulfill my promise of updating my trips here. hehe...Since today is a Saturday and Bersih 2.0 is going on, i shall stay at home and wear my yellow shirt. :D

Here's some pics on the Aberdeen Trip last May ( i know it's very late, but at least the pics made their ways up here...haha)

the road not taken... (nearby Bridge of Don)

a lot of walkways like this around the city, very easy to walk around and feel safe too. :)

Towards the Brig O' Balgownie

Brig O' Balgownie (It's a 13th Century Bridge spanning the River Don)

Brig O' Balgownie

a house just next to the 13th Century Bridge, a good place to retire i guess? :)
