Uploading pictures of recent events

-
Finally, the pictures decided to upload after all, there are a lot of pictures here, so let me describe them to you, for this one, remember my family reunion post?  So this is a couple of pictures, some of them, well, I didn't look nice most of them.  In the picture below is Fahmi and Farhana a.k.a Amoi (my brother-in-law's and youngest sister's kids) due to her chinese look, Fahmi decided to pull Amoi's cheek in the picture, because she didn't smile in the first take...  I love the both of these kids...


Below is a picture of Fahmi and Hafiz, Hafiz is one of my eldest brother's sons.  Hafiz just knew how to talk, before he went to pre-school, he doesn't talk at all, but now he's the most talkative kid amongst his siblings according to my brother.  He's clever and funny too.


The picture below is one of the picture I took during the shutdown period.  The flare was, up to, I think, 50 meters up in the air.  It was scary at times, but eventually, I got used to the sight of that flare.  We could even feel the heat when I took this picture.  Dealing with hydrocarbon, is never a funny business...

This is a 'shaky' picture of the Ramadhan moon, it was just after I had my first break of fast.  I just took out the camera from my room and the lens in the camera fogs up, so it gave out that beautiful illumination around the moon.  This picture was taken on the Second of Ramadhan (after the first sungkai/break of fast).


This is me and Aidee, we were talking about materials (I looked up to remember something...), since he was my MatCo (Material Coordinator), he will be back offshore again on the 12th October,  Kafi (one of the operator's trainee) took this picture, we were unaware of it.   Turns out nice, so I decided to put this into my blog.

This is another picture of a moon, it's pretty small.  Just click on the picture to enlarge it.  This picture was taken just when I finished eating our last break of fast, as the day tomorrow was going to be Eid (Raya), so this picture is the moon at First of Syawal.  It was really difficult shoot using the SLR camera, as I didn't have a tripod with me.  I had to exhale to prevent any shaking.  (that's a tip for you guys out there).


First day of Raya, there was a big feast, a Hari Raya Gathering.  It was held after the Raya Prayer.  I don't know some of their names like the picture below.  Naz helped me by taking the photos, I was busy stuffing up my face with food at this time.  So enjoy the pictures, you perhaps know a guy or two?






The bosses... :)


Below is the pictures taken in the smoking room, after stuffing my face.

Air Tebu (Sugar Cane Water)

The mess room, nicely decorated to suit the occassion...  This was after the gathering.





And after it all, it was just me, the camera, and my cup of coffee.  It was delicious, I didn't take any coffee during the whole of Ramadhan period fearing that it will be too much for me as the only time I could take them was in the evening.  I'm not that sensitive to coffee, but then again, I didn't sleep much either not because of it.  I love coffee.  So that's it.  I wish you enjoyed the pictures and reading my post.  Until then..  Take care, be safe, be kind, Selamat Hari Raya and Adios!!!

Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to Me Warning: This will be a long read. There are a lot of things in my mind which I wanted to express. Today is my birthday, and now I am three decades old. Time has travelled so fast in front of my eyes. And today, I look back my life and reflect my past. And will also discuss my years to come, insyaallah. First and Foremost, on the eve of my birthday was the Sixty Second DJ competition which ran align with the best 914. Best 914 is a singing contest where the contestants are selected from a radio show which they called in and sang with a minus one song. And now, yesterday they sang really really well and they sounded like professional singers. It's amazing that they are just singers who just sang along in the radio, for some they have been into a few singing contest. Then it was our turn. I was the fifth contestant, to go and face the crowd. It was nerve wreaking looking at what looks like about a thousand people watching you. I did what I can, and I did it wi...

Tolerances and Compromises

-
I'm half angry and half sulking with my OH . Sometimes my OH have this ability to make me feel needy and clingy. Sometimes I feel that I'm always the one giving and giving, thus making me feel just like that. It is as if, I'm holding all my cards out for everyone to see for the sake of love. And I'm only making a great fool of myself. Where does that fine line starts or stop? Where would you draw the line from doing something for someone your love and doing anything and everything for someone you love? As days go by, sometimes I feel I'm doing the latter. I'm only writing my frustration here, not to belittle my beloved OH , I just need to release this anger that I am having at the moment. So what was this all about? Without elaborating too much on the matter, I asked to be together for one night and do what I wanted to do and then, I got a quick turn down. Purely because my OH don't feel like it. I've done my part of reluctance for the sake o...

Tak Ada Yang Abadi (Nothing that is Forever)

-
You may have realised that I've changed my imeem song on this blog. It's from the latest track by PeterPan (An indonesian band) with the title "Tak Ada Yang Abadi" (Translation: Nothing that is Forever; better translated as Nothing lasts Forever). I downloaded this song from a CD album that ironically "E" left in my car system. I am not usually the kind of guy who listens to malay songs, not that I have anything against them, it's just not the norm for me. But when I do, I only play songs that I am familiar with, and skip the rest. When I was offshore, I downloaded the album in my iPod and set the iPod on shuffle and just listen to whatever the iPod decided to play. That is when I heard this song for the first time. This will make me sound like a sissy, but I cried my eyes out, listening to this track. I cried because this song speaks the honest truth that people including myself won't admit to. It speaks the truth. No matter what. Yeah,...
