Again with this new job that I just luckily snucked in right after the day of my marriage ceremony in Terengganu, nevertheless the job is almost just the same as before, but I got it offered to me by my previous Chief Engineer, Mr. Ross, cool fella, young at heart heheheee... well turns out the job is in Brasil, Rio De Janeiro, Macae, Roncador at the Campos Basin, and I tell ya there´s a lotta paper work need to be done before I actually get on one of them FPSO units there which took me 45 days just to get my visa.
And when I arrived there, well a lot of stuff need to be familiarized but almost all the things are the same principally, got friendly with my colleague and wallaaa!!! Im juiced in to be one of the Assistant Maintenance Supervisor. Well the work gets a bit hectic from time to time but I love it! gets me all sweaty compared to my previous work, I could say this old lady which aged older that me (37 years ol´to be exact), sure gave me a handful with her problems... (pls jgn black out sudah)... and at the end of the day, to spend my sleep, the slumber was soo deep, you wont wanna get up ever again... letih maaa!!! But still I can get to call my sweety from far away using the skype service they have here onboard... once in a while, she´s soothes my soul with her calming voice, kept saying that I´ll be fine here, as long as my heart will always find its way back to her.....
Back to the ol´lady that I´ve been workin´my ass on, I hope she wont get offended with this statement but face it, when ur old, you´ll get all busted joint up the wazoo, leaky pipe which are irrepairable, fucked up Sea Water pumps that start to give all kinda trouble every trice a month unless a total shutdown of the plant where we cant afford to do, due to topside demand for production. And guess what? All this problem that Ive told ya just now is just a skim of the top of the donut, you didnt get to the jelly part yet, and if you do, and if I got the knack to tell it to ya, I would´ve die of old age.. simply put its too much! but bearable. The drydock will not be due till 2012, but I will try to survive with all the problems here...may Allah bless my soul...Amin... I hope nothing will go FUBAR on me...
Well anyway this story continues when I start introducing all of my colleague here in FPSO Brasil.. but till then, hold yer socks up and wait for my further entry, ave atque vale! (its latin anyway, not portuguese) hehehee.. ciao!
Lamanya......
