Update....

Salam....coming this October, dah 9 tahun aku di Brunei mencari rezeki dan menumpang kasih pada Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzuddin Waddaulah...Sultan Dan Yg DiPertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam. Alhmdulillah, 3 org anak lelaki aku semuanya lahir sepanjang aku kerja di sini. Di sini taklah sesibuk dan sehavoc seperti di Malaysia...maklumlah, kat sini takder disko, kedai arak dsbnya. Aku percaya...hal2 begini penting bagi sesebuah masyarakat yg inginkan kedamaian coz most of the social problem actually berpunca dari perkara2 itu tadi. Of course, there's another things involved but then still it helps....a lot.

The other thing yg syok kat sini ialah kerjanya. It's a Slug Catcher plant dgn kapasiti not more than 5.0 MMsm3/day. Dan proses yg ada cuma CO2 removal unit, so....hehehe, what else can u ask for...i'm not getting younger everyday...hahaha.

Sedikit citer kat Brunei

Salam....budak2 nie bila aku kijer shift malam maka rajinlah diaorang datang melepak kat ofis aku.Main sana, main sini...maklumlah rumah dekat...hehehe..kalau boleh nak tidur situ!!!

Nie pulak masa gie Limbang.Kat depan muzium....hehe..sajer jalan2.

A bit of oil and gas.

This is one of the unmanned platform controlled by satellite and located about 80 kilometers away from Muara Base in Brunei Darussalam. Visited only twice a week or whenever necessary....kinda gud life for the offshore crew hehehe....Anyway, maintenance and servicing gonna be a bit costly since jobs can only be done for maximum 8 hrs a day during daylight with a boat standing-by on site. Otherwise, a bigger boat or even a barge need to be hired at a higher price.

The picture on the left is the so called "Christmas Tree".....doesn't look like one...

From my desk......

it has been 18 years since I was first introduce to the oil and gas industries....which I have never think of before! But then, here I am...one of those who have had the privelege to commissioned couple hundred millions of facilities and to be the first to operate such plant.

It's not that bad at all for a simple guy like me with only my High School Certificate......worse.. not even 1st grade...hehehe...but still I found out thru my experience....having a master or those long resume does not means that you're good at your job. Still.....it's all depends on how you do your jobs...kinda. Anyway, the wold is not perfect...same with me and the rest of you.

This time, maybe...I would like to write about what I know in this oil industries....specially in my own field....production...maybe it will help others in knowing more about this jobs. Till then...keep up the gud work......believe in Allah Subhanahuwataala...

Hari ini,01hb.Feb,2007....Wan meninggal malam tadi...31hb.Jan,2007 bersamaan 12 Muharram,1428H. Aku tak dapat balik...maklumlah jauh anyway,Long,Zakir,Najib,Ijah,Is,Achai dan Hasbul serta abah ada di semenanjung.
Aruah adalah antara orang yg rapat dalam sejarah hidup aku. Maklumlah, sejak kecil aku sering pulang ke kampung (masa tu tinggal di Johor) dan aku akan mengikuti Aruah Tok Hawa (adik Wan yg paling bongsu) dgn keretanya utk balik ke Melaka. Ditambah pula bila abah berpindah ke Perak, aku dan Zakir ditinggalkan di Melaka bersama Wan. Dalam jagaan Wan, aku agak bebas...terjun kolam, sungai, lundang....sebut ajer, sampai aku nyaris mati lemas....dan perkara tersebut berjaya aku rahsiakan hinggalah hari2 terakhir semasa di Sek Keb Pulai dulu...hmmm..marah sungguh Wan kerana abah dan aruah mak dapat tahu hal tu dari pihak sekolah. Tapi dalam pada itu, Wan berjaya mendidik aku hingga berjaya mendapat 5A dlm peperiksaan Penilaian Darjah 5...orang pertama dalam sejarah penubuhan sekolah tersebut!!!hehe....malah aku juga berjaya menjuarai Musabaqah Peringkat Sekolah2 Rendah negeri Melaka pada tahun 1981...juga atas usaha dan pengorbanan Wan. Saban malam dia menemani aku ke rumah ustaz..dgn basikal tuanya...Wan, maafkan Ibal andai ada salah dan silapku selama ini...
Semoga Allah SWT mengampuni segala dosa dan silap Wan...seterusnya meletakkannya dalam golongan hamba2nya yg dipelihara dari siksa kubur...siksa padang mahsyar...siksa neraka Jahannam..amin ya rabbal alamin..

Dah seminggu bercuti....tinggal lagi 3 minggu. Everyday, it's just the same...hantar anak2 ke sekolah, ambil balik...hantar...ambik...hehe. Then, tolong2 Nora dgn kerja2 rumah...bila rajinlah...kah,kah,kah...selalunya dok melayan Aqmarlah. Lasak juga budak nie rupanya...hehe. Bosan juga cuti panjang2 nie...lainlah duit seguni...hahaha...boleh gek gie jalan2 ker. Masaalahnya aku nie takder aktiviti yg betulnya, bersukan...malas, ke laut tak reti...tu yg jadi boring tu. Nak ke masjid dgn aktiviti2nya...waduh, semuanya org tua2 beb...gie sekali2 tu oklah juga, tapi nak melepak dgn diaorg....be reasonablelahkan...hahaha. Kalau kat melaka dulu, bila cuti2 nie boleh gek gie memancing dgn anak bini kat pantai Tg Keling, sampai 2 ke 3 pagi pun takper...hehe. Kat sini, lautnya tak tentu, most of the time bergelora dan tak sesuai utk memancing...emmm alahai. I need to look for something yg fun to do during my leave...until then...melepaklah hahaha...berat pun dah menjangkau 85 kilo!!!!
