Bits and Bobs

Note pad checklists. So that this page could replace my diary. Sort of.

#1. Mama is at home now! Yea, welcome back mama. Its gonna be so much fun to have you around. Even more so to spend at least 2 weeks off in the month of June! Arriba~

#2. I'm working on my resume..slowly. I am seriously unhappy about where my job is taking me and how the 'system' is always not working for us. They expect us to be operationally competent but hardly lets us out to the field, since we are a ratio of 4 FS to 1 unit. And we have 40 FSs who needs to be working offshore, so that means, if we only have 3 units working..that'll be 12 FSs working, and the rest?? OK so it means that in 2nd school, they can't expect me to be that good with the units since I hardly get to operate them anymore.

#3. While working on my resume, I am compiling a mountain of other resumes to make as reference. Nice.

#4. Dealing with weekly muscle pain in the arms, fingers and sometimes shoulder blades. Hehehe.. F and I are taking up a new hobby!! Its fun, but for now..I really suck at it.

#5. My shopping list for the US. InsyaAllah, I will make it to 2nd school in July which will be in Oklahoma. Thus, I can do some awesome shopping in the states. For my new hobby, stuff and stuff..handbags lagi. Wow. Bestnyer. Just hope that by then H1N1 is a black dot in history.

Okeh tu jers. Baru lepas cover my ass in an assignment. Tu la, asal balik KL je ade je bende telupe nak send~ Hardy Harhars.

When I was in Yangon..

When I was in Yangon. I felt like I was back in Dhaka. The people look the same. Of chinese, and indian faces mixed with pretty mongolian look alikes.

This picture tells a lot. There are mini buildings in Yangon. Most of the cars are white in color. The traffic is always a steady flow. The guy on the far left is topping up on his taxi's gas. Cool rite?

I hope to go back to Yangon sometime soon. But damn, my boss there really pisses me off.

Since maybe coiled tubing services may not be needed afterall, that pretty much wraps up my day. Ticketing is done. So I will take this chance to head home a bit early and go enjoy beautiful Yangon. Wanna come?

Yangon, Myanmar

Our trip to Myanmar was a tiring one. We had to take the 9:15pm flight to Bangkok and arrived at Suvarnabumi International Airport about 2 hours later. We then -stopped for a ciggie break- and rushed off to the airport hotel, Novotel Bangkok. But boy was I happy as a cat when I dialled '0' and found out that Bangkok local time was actually 11:45pm. Time saved!

Google it out, its pretty amazing. For the 4,900 baht we had to fish out. Not to mention, we had to check out the next morning at 5am.

We got to Yangon, and then of course my stomach had to get all excited. Nature call. Hehe. We had the van wait for us outside the airport. But even inside the airport, Azrel and I had a funny encounter. The money changer is right infront of the toilet door. Apekah. We were all pretty tired.

We checked into MiCasa Hotel Apartments (daily rates 90 USD and monthly of 2000 USD - I just googled).

Now the boys have all left me and I am to fend for my sorry arse during the drilling meeting.
