hello dolls and assalamualaikum..

saya masih berada di Qatar, tentatively will be coming back to Malaysia on the 5th of June.. but like any other site job, we know that the going back date can change even the day before.. so i will keep my fingers crossed and hope that this time around i will be going home for real..

wah.. panjang pulak intro yg tak seberapa kepentingan nyer..

saya di office dan harini kelihatan umpama tiada kerja urgent yg perlu diusahakan..

me and sharul came up with a list of remaining work to do and all the items in the list as for this moment arent the ones that we can do.. mostly following up job with Samsung, coz apparently these Koreans arent as good as many people think they are..

despite that, I am still a fan of Korean drama series though..

so having this free time at the office. with Mr Sharul Barney had gone somewhere i dont know coz he didnt bother to tell me, i choose to fill my time with the activity i enjoy, which is blogging..

i started by reading my old posts and then i got inspired to write a new post.. also, because i feel a wee bit guilty to have sort of abandoned my blog for months..

so the main point of me blogging now is to just update some of the things that have happened in my life..
there have been plenty of events, and i have doubt that i will be able to recall them all.. but nonetheless, i will try and make sure i get it all documented in this precious blog of mine .. my precious #gollum

so here it goes..

1. I am officially an oil and gas field engineer

I am utterly grateful and happy whenever i think about this fact that I am actually working as a field/service engineer in oil and gas industry..
altho some of the ungrateful people in my company would make snarky comment saying that Omega is only Telecom vendor and our role in the oil and gas is too small to even mention..
you know what I think? I think these people are just jealous..
I simply believe that there is no job that is too small or too unimportant.. I know my job is important and I am contributing the best I can in the way that i know how

my first site was an oil rig/platform in myanmar waters. i stayed offshore for about 10 days.
the job was fairly easy and we completed the requested tasks successfully and I am truly proud of ourselve.
owh, i went there with another Singapore service engineer who is of a Myanmar nationality..

and right now I am in Qatar, working on an expansion projec of Laffan Refineryt for Diesel Hydro Treater Plant in the Ras Laffan Industrial City. I have been here for almost 7 weeks, and I have learned so much..
I am so so so so so grateful and happy for the opportunity to be here.

haviing said that, i must admit there are times when everything is so hard and it would seem like nothing is going right.. being under a tremendous amount of stress, get chased and pushed by the client, end user etcetra..
it is really hard.. and also there are times me and Sharul would get in an argument so bad that I feel like stabbing him with the screwdriver.. but at the end of the day, I am really happy to have been able to experience it all.. and i got through it with grace and dignity.. wah!!

but its not over yet.. still some minor work left to be completed.. I cannot wait to get back and see my loved ones.. owh I miss them all so much..

and owh, i made friend with an English lad whos a huge fan of Manchester United. He's working for Federal Signal, our vendor for the PAGA system installed here in Qatar.. I added him on FB and thats that..
nothings really interesting about him except for the fact that hes such a snob and so full of himself..
but hes a nice guy though..

okla, lets talk about something else..

2. Buying a house

I am sure i am not the only person around my age whos thinking about buying a house at the moment..
and its everybodys problem and concern that they cannot afford buying a house because the house prices are so freakishly high.. and it seems like they arent going down any time soon..

so this begs the question, is buying a house a good time now? what age is a good age to be buying a house?
is there any chance that the pricess might go down in the future?
How can we afford this motherfucker?

well, TBH, it isnt about the price that i have concern the most..
and yes i know its really expensive, and i cannot afford it.. but what i am more interested to talk here is the type of house that I want.

everybody is aiming to but a landed house with lawn or poarch or whatever.. but not me though..
i really am interested in buying a condo unit in the city.. one with gym and swimming pool facility.. i really see myself more as someone living in a condo than a landed house..

but my future wife does not share that ambition..
she is inclining more towards the landed house so i have to give in.. maybe its for the best..
but fret not for no decision is final yet.. i think..

damn, i ma not fret now.. and as usual, i will only worry about it when i have no choice but to..

3. Buying a new handphone

 owh its been ages that i wanted to buy a new phone.. i am still using iphone 4 which i bough in 2011.. and it is ancient..
owh no i exaggerate..
my phone is still working fine, although it fell again, for the 4th time, and the screen cracked.. its quite bad actually cause i can no longer type with numbers and punctuation when i am typing upright.. i need to tilt my phone sideways to access the buttons to the numbers and punctuation shit..

and i think the microphone is busted coz whenever i try to record a video, i cant hear a thing.. silly microphone..

but all in all, my iphone4 is still an awesome phone.. and yes i can still use it.. so there isnt really any strong reason why i should buy a new phone any time soon.. maybe i will wait for iphone6 to come out..
which i guess will be somewhen around november of December this year.. #fingerscrossed

and my fiance bought a brand new iphone5S not so long ago, and she seems to love the phone..
I havent got to see her new phone yet since I have been in Qatar for so long.. damn it i cant wait to get back..
