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!)

Free Car Ride

I was at the Huntsville visiting the Sam Houston monument, then I came across this interesting signboard at a gift shop. 

Cool huh? who says anything that is free is good? :D

Easter Dinner

It was my first Easter dinner in the US, and it was a great experience for me. I especially like the ham! haha...

even though it was called Easter dinner, but we started at 2pm. The table setting.

the menu of the day. :D

hello bunny! 

the main dish of the day, ham! super tasty, i wonder can we find it in Malaysia?

did you see the crackers with the big pot of cheese in the middle? I fell in love with it. LOL...

new dish that I have tasted, the deviled eggs! 

didn't smell very good, but quite tasty! and they were served cold, a traditional food it seemed. :D

Hungry? I hope I could taste all the food again! Missing the states now...lol...

Good morning!

Good morning from the offshore, again! LOL....Hope everyone is doing well and have a good weekend!

American Food

Here's one episode of joke I encountered when I was in the states (Houston, Texas).

American friend: So what do you want to eat for dinner today?
me: well, let's have some american food?
American friend's mother: ok, let's go for KFC then.
me: huh? seriously?
American friend: yeah, that's the only pure american food here.

ok.....haha...we ended us trying the Texas Mexican food though, and it was great! :D

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.
