Satu Bintang

Masjid Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin, Brunei 2009.

I am offshore now, this time on the Lewek Conqueror. Its a much bigger barge, with 8 anchors ( I think I'd count them all right) and the largest swell of 2 meters can only sway ever so gently and rock me through the night like a baby.

There's a lot of hype, hope and anxiety when the year is coming to an end. All the crew wants their christmas, and new years celebration on land, with family. I just want to go home already.

Can't wait.

Oversaturated

Im rumaging through my photo album that I efforlessly lug around with me when I am off to work. They never fail to keep me company. Today the electronic technician Ling mentioned how dark my skin is getting. Today would be the second time he did that.

We continued the conversation, with me teaching him a thing or two about SPFs and how to work out the math behind it. He noted that I was keen to go for my overdue facial.

And it ended with me giving him a fair warning to not spoil my day(s) offshore by even mentioning my skin tone.

And I did all that in hua yu.

Record Setting

Miri, 2009.

And again, today, this evening I was dumb enough to let him tread over my fragile frame and crush it in under 0:06 seconds flat.

Mode for cancel cancel and cancel.

Holiday Planning

Yes its almost that time of the year. The time when I can take a whole fat month off. But the thing is. I'm still out at sea. So I get to dream a little. This year, its gonna be full swing celebrations, baby! I hope you guys are planning away as well. Merajok tidak menjadi sebab untuk kita tidak merancang cuti-cuti bersama si dia. Hahahas. Too much of majalah picisan has got to me.

Jln Nagasari, The Carat Club, Penang Cafe, delicious, Orchard Road, Far East Plaza, Nathan Road, The place where they serve you in bronze wheelchairs, and definitely mistletoes are on my agenda!

Happy dreaming. It should be nine days till I hit solid ground again.
