Damn brotha...I had to get back late again today. Shit. I'm starting to feel stressed with the workload. It's been three weeks since I did the INO consolidation assignment, and I'm far from getting it done yet. Owh, probably I didn't mention this before, I had to do the damn thing again. Everyone had to do their packs again. Just because of some shithead SGM who though we had nothing to do at the office. Shit. He's argument, the previous data which we used to create our cases weren't complete since it didn't considered the PSC extentions. So, they gave a new set of data. Unfortunately, the new data are worst, and they still wanted us to proceed with it. And you wanna know something else? He even told everyone that the descrepencies within the data were our department's fault. Seriously? You wanna bullshit like that? What are you? Twelve? I bet my twelve year old brother would make a better SGM than you would.

...

Sorry, I lost my composure just then. Haha. Anyways, I guess I don't really have to say what I did today eh? Well, just a bit more then. I got a new assignment as well. Haha. Eventhough we haven't even finished our current assignment, we're given one more. Haha.

For those who don't know, our work, the INO consolidations are the work of Senior Economist. These people are those who have had quite an experience doing economic evaluation for projects that they are given the task to do the projects for a whole region or country. Most of the other staff are doing single projects. So, yeah...we are a part of those people. Haha. Well, at least I am. Kaber was mostly the supporter while doing the pack. He only did slides 5 and 6 for the pack while I did the rest which all came to 69 slides. Haha. I even had to comment on why such and such act as such and such.

Anyways, I'm not really complaining though. At least I'd get to prove that I did stuff that weren't supposed to be done by interns, and as such, eventhough other may not know it, but at least I know that I am a being higher than those others whom are also undergoing their internship. Muahahahaha!! (yea..I am a proud motherfucker)

Well, that's all for today folks. Thanks for watching.

Sorry for not being entirely thorough in my previous posts last week. I even missed a day for my daily post. Haha. Ironic. It's been so hectic at work that I couldn't even find the urge to write anything here. Well, since I am now, might as well share what I've been up to since last week. So, I'm currently consolidating the Indonesia PSCs and all the PSCB shares there. Well, it sounds simple enough, but belive me when I say this, shitting golf balls are easier than doing this.

Anyways, that's really all I could say without jeopordizing the integrity of the project. Haha. I'm actually not in the mood to write anything now. This post was supposed to be published yesterday, but my computer suddenly went haywire and this was put in the draft. I've actually written quite a lot yesterday, and when I check on it today, all that's left was the first paragraph above which wasn't even complete. Shit. So, there you have it.

It's been a while... To think that I've taken this much time without even realizing it... No matter...it doesn't really seem to be a bother.

Well, for starters, I forgot to write yesterday's entry. So, which means that out of all the days I've left without writing anything, we can now conclude that yesterday wasn't one of the days that I didn't go to the office. Anyhow, it's a shame though. I've lost so much time in the process. Hopefully this would prove to be at my advantage.

Well, let's see now, yesterday and today, I had to do the presentation pack for the Indonesia blocks to be presented on Friday. So, there you have it...

Well, first of all, yesterday I did came to the office. Actually, I didn't just came to the office, I spent the night there. But unfortunately, my harddisk is fried at the moment. So, yeah... I'm currently using Kaber's extra harddisk which he gave me previously. I didn't had any use of it till now. And the best part is, he's already asked for it back. Life shits on your face rite? Haha...

Anyhow, I'm not really in the mood to write anything now. Just finished installing the essential items. But I still got stuffs to do about this situation I'm in now... So, chiow...

October 22nd, 2010

Well, nothing much to do today. Except the animations for the montage of course. But in the end, we managed to complete it to show it to Zetti. It wasn't much (really wasn't much...) but it was only a draft sample for the real deal. So, it didn't really matter much.

Anyways, we had our KSS in the evening. And I actually wanted to write a few things down here regarding the KSS. So, today was about a case study for the SK MLNG 3 foaming project. So, okay, the objective of the project is simple, it is to remove accumulations within the pipelines transferring gas and condensates for the MLNG 3. However, the main concerns is the cost - who would be footing the bill? But the problem with this project is, that the gas is sold ex-platform. Therefore, the pipeline is not considered within the scope of upstream and as such would not pass to be cost recoverable from the productions. Therefore, they wouldn't want to accept the cost as their own. Thus, since none would like to foot the bill, it was up to the economics to decide. And as such, they've decided that the downstream line would be footing the bill. This is because, since the pipeline is not considered within the scope of upstream, they're only entitled to CITA, which is the corporate tax, and is at 25%. This is way lower as compared to PITA which is at 38%. Therefore, it was more economical for the downstream line to cover the cost.

Well, this isn't really much. I wasn't really trying to explain it thoroughly. This is more like a reminder to myself about this project. Probably could use it in one of my reports. Haha.

Anyways, I think that was all I wanted to say. Owh, yes, there was one more thing. Today, Stef wasn't wearing high-heels! I've finally got a sense of how it would be if...okay, I'm not gonna finish that sentence... But that's not really the reason I made a big deal out of this; she was extremely cute from my point of view today (I really meant literally - 'point of view'). Anyways, I couldn't really took my eyes off of her today......

I'm gonna shut up now before I start turning purple...

Well...nothing much happened today... Owh, I redid the whole thing...the montage...so, I guess I'll be staying up late today...maybe...I'm already sleepy...

October 20th, 2010

Well, most of you might be wondering why didn't I write down anything yesterday, rite?... Okay then...I guess none of you care then.... Well, wtf do I care, it's my blog anyways. So, I didn't came to work yesterday. Why? For the same reason I went to Terengganu with an instantaneous decision, for the same reason I went to go swimming in Teluk Batik at 1.00 a.m., and for the same reason I always do anything in this life for...because I feel like doing it. So, that's all for reasons. I'm just touching on this because the first thing when I came in today, Kaber told me that most of the people in the department was asking for me... Hmm........

Well, anyways, today? I did absolutely nothing....really....nothing....

-End of Entry-

October 18th, 2010

Well...got nothing to say...at least not much...all I wanna share today is that, Buried is seriously a great movie. You have to watch it alone at the cinema. And yes, watch it at the cinema only please...and also, if possible, make sure there nobody else around you. At that moment, you'll truly understand what the protagonist is going through... All I have to say to this is, it's Mark White...

Owh, and by the way, I also wanna share something I did on the weekends since I was so bored. Here it is...





Haha. Nice rite?

October 15th, 2010

Finally, I got an actual work that relates to my internship period here. I had to recheck the Samarang PSC extract I did previously. It seems that there were a couple of things off now since the last time I did the extract. The JOA is no longer valid and the whole block is now Carigali operated. So, I had to rectify that mistake... However, I do have to say in my defense that there were no other publication of letters or anything on paper what-so-ever about the changes. I've went through all the papers related to the field from cover to cover. I would know if there were any mentioned in there somewhere. So, not really my fault isn't it?...

Anyways, I continued with my montage afterward. I've done the main scenes for the whole montage. Now all that's left is the animation of pictures related to the event. Then, I'm done. I must say though, this is the best I've done so far. I'm not lying. Nor am I boasting. But it's true. I've matured enough in this activity that it's now quite astonishing. Haha. Okay, now I'm just being prideful...

So, I guess that's it then. I'll let you guys continue with whatever you were doing now.

My step mom's in Bandung. And since she's gone, everything's gone haywire... I can't believe that my little brother woke up on his own and got dressed and woke us up - me and my dad. And what more, because of us, he was almost late to school... It's sad to realize that you're inferior to a 10 year old kid...

Anyways, at work, I did the salient points for the latest department meeting which I didn't attend. Haha. And I continued with the montage. I'm left with the pictures and wordings part now. I'll try to get the pictures done by tomorrow. At least I'll finally have something to show to Kak Zetti.

Well, that's all folks. I'm too tired to write anything else and I wanna go to bed...can't let my little brother beat me again tomorrow morning...

-End of Entry-

October 13th, 2010

Okay then. I guess today's the day I'll make up for the days that I only wrote down gibberish talk. Well, since Monday till today, we were still doing the montage for the PED Away Day. And, it also came to our knowledge that the event has been postponed to the 31st this month. So, that was practically most of what we did at work, other than the usual chatting, reading newspapers, and visiting cubicles just to pass the time.

However, even though I've written quite a lot on Monday, I forgot to mention one specific detail which was really significant. It was after the office hours. So, me and Kaber went for a drink at the stall where we usually have our breakfast. Then it came to me that I had nothing to do if I were to go home early. It's the same case everyday though, but Monday was when it really got to me. And so, after Kaber left and out of boredom, I walked from KLCC to the Universiti LRT Station. Haha. It took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to get there. And in the end, I still had to ride the train to Kelana Jaya and walk about half a kilometer to where I parked my car, and drive back home. Haha. It was great.

Owh, and yesterday I've started to park at Taman Paramount. And it seems that that's where I'll be parking from hereon-of (<--I'm not sure if this is really the right spelling for it). So, as such, today I was from LRT Taman Paramount as well. It's totally different from Kelana Jaya. It's much more tranquil and calm. I love it. So, that means that my traveling time on the train has been reduced. It's 12 stations now. And my midpoint is Bangsar.

Anyways, there's nothing much to say about work for yesterday nor today. It's the same shit all over again. Owh, but today we did received something else to work on. It was to design the new name plate for the entire department. Haha. I'm starting to feel like I'm actually a designer, and not an engineer.

Well, I guess that's it then. Owh, perhaps I should take this opportunity as well to express my gratitude for the wishes I received yesterday for my birthday. Thank you all. I love all of ya.

October 11th, 2010

Well, I predicted that today wouldn't be a good day. It started as shit anyways. I was on my way to KJ station, then, out of all the places, the had to be an accident right at the junction I was supposed to enter. Thus, I had to take a long U-turn just to park my car. It was shit. Totally shit. Owh, and another thing, my car's paddles are now lying on the floor; in the opposite direction we usually press it. So, it's basically sticking towards me. Damn. I can't do an emergency brake anymore. So I've got to adapt to a more safer driving style. That's another shit as well.

However though, even though I've predicted it as such, it wasn't really all that doom-y and gloomy. It was quite the opposite though. First person I met at the office was Stef, she was on her way down for breakfast. I opened the door...but I didn't hold it for her...nor the lady behind me... Damn it...at that short instance, I felt like a total blood-sucking-jack-asshole-shithead... Really regretted that... And if you do know me, I'm not one who regrets doing anything. But if the situation proves to be such that, I, myself would regret it, then you should understand the severity of the situation. I regretted that...

Anyways, I continued with the montage making today, and I even went overboard and scolded Kaber as well... Sorry dude...you should understand the feeling. I'm doing all kind of bullshit that makes my head exploded a few times already, and you're doing nothing but read shit on the internet. And in the end, you're getting credited for the shit that I'm doing more than I, myself. I just gotta say something. But let me just say this here, I did it all because I love you, bro. You're my brother, and I don't want my brother to be a dickhead. Da sangue o da legame, una famiglia è una famiglia.

Hmm...on the topic of families, it got me thinking about my platoon for paintball. Haha. It's still open for those who are willing to commit to the task. I'm not doing this as a hobby, I'm doing this to conquer the world. So, don't fuck around... Anyways, you've seen the emblem and the logo of the platoon - The Equatorial Suns. So, I've thought that I'd provide a tag name for each members of the group once they've joined. Actually, I kind of want it to be more than a tag name, I want it to be a title. Hence, if one person's KIA during his/her period with the platoon, then the replacement shall bear the same name. Here are the titles I've come up with:

Male:
Amon-Ra --> El capitan
Apollo --> 2nd leader
Helios --> 3rd leader
Dazbog --> Heavy guns
Belenos --> Heavy guns
Icarus --> Sniper

Female:
Amaterasu --> Sniper

Either:
Phoenix --> Recon
Griffin --> Recon

Those are the ones that I'm sure of to use. The rest that I'm gonna list down are left open in consideration of the people who'd come in later. Here are the others that I've chosen:

Male:
Mithra
Malakbel
Shamash
Aryaman

Female:
Aurora
Eos
Sol

I want to have 12 members in the platoon. Nothing more, and nothing less. So, yeah. If anyone's really is interested in joining and are willing to give full commitment, then I'm willing to consider. Haha. Owh, and by the way, the only titles that are occupied at the moment are Amon-Ra, which is mine; Apollo, Kaber's; and Helios, my brother (my real brother, Mu'iz. I guess this is the reason why talking about family reminds me of the platoon eh? Haha). So, yeah. I'm hoping that there are really people who are willing to support me to rule the world. I'll share the details of how we're gonna achieve that once you've made it in the platoon. And yes, I'm not kidding about ruling the world.~_~ <-- serious face (sorry, I don't really know emoticons. And I'm not about to allocate effort to study such insignificant symbolism).

Anyways, I seem to be really out of topic now. I'm not gonna waste anymore time than I've already have. So, I'll be taking my leave then. Chiow~

Aaaaarrrgghhhh!!!!!

.......

Sorry...don't know what to write... I can't write about work, because I wasn't doing anything...just continued with the montage... Well, at least I've completed one scene...haha...just one.........damn...

Anyway, we had a meeting with Finance today, it was about the time write, basically, it's related to the cost recovery claims from specific projects for specific personnel - which as always, had nothing to do with us interns... So, I simply sat there and drank coffee while laughing at their jokes. Truthfully, I'd prefer to imagine the meetings we had as a stand-up comedian performance. I'll just sit there and stay quiet till someone makes a joke and the whole floor laughs! Haha. So, that was about it at the office...

Owh, and by the way, I went to work by virtue of my step mom. My dad wanted to bring my car to the workshop, so he went. Thus, I didn't have any other modes of transportation. But anyways, going to work was easy, coming back was really shit-full...I had to take the KTM train to S.Jaya...and thus, as always, I had to stand at the underground station at KL Sentral for an hour before the train arrives, then I had to squeeze into the packed train and get sandwiched by two Bangladeshis, whom I think one of them were gay because he was staring at me with tempted eyes for quite a while on the train, while my dick was stabbing against the other guy. And I had to stay in that position for the rest of the journey...... I have no remark for that statement just now......

All in all, it was shitty. But not as shitty as yesterday. However, the day ended quite great. Simply because I took the time and effort to polish my shoes (all of the formal ones - there were four). That was all it took to made this day quite charming. Haha.

Cherio~

Yet another day not meant to be lived...

-End of Entry-

October 6th, 2010

Today wasn't a good day to live. I was hit by bad luck back to back till the end. Damn it. The realization of my mortality...

Well, first and foremost, I was told that I have a family problem last night. And it was so shocking that I straight went to bed, had trouble sleeping, and woke up earlier than usual... I'm sorry, but I'm not really ready to share the problem here yet. Please give me some time to digest everything first before I can vomit it all out again...

Anyways, afterward, in the morning I went to work. And on the way, I hit a car from the rear because there were not enough room for my car to stop. For those who knows my car, you'll probably understand... However, luckily I didn't caused any major problem to the other car. Luckily, my car is much lower than most car and it hit the metal knob below the bumper of the other car. So, the guy was nice enough to let it go... Thanks, bro. You really are a nice guy... But even so, I still was in an accident... Damn... That broke my 4 years clean record...

Then, once I was at Kelana Jaya LRT station, the trains were delayed due to technical errors. And there was a sea of people there at the station. I was sweating like a pig... And I had to let 2 trains pass me by... I finally got on the third trains which was a four coaches. So, yeah...quite a way to start the day, right?...

Work wasn't much. I continued doing the montage for the away day. I've chosen the logo from my previous designs - it's the purple one. And so, that was all that I did today at work. Fortunately, this is part of working as well I'd say.

Then, after work, my car didn't have breaks! WTF!?! So, I had to drive with my left hand on the hand breaks all the time. It's not as easy as it sounds. Do take note that my car is a manual. So, yeah... To anyone who was on the road while I was there, sorry... I was that shithead...

And there you have it. It doesn't sound much, because I chose not to elaborate much on it, but in reality, it's much worse. So, yeah...aahh...fuck it...

Haha. I do hope you understand what that means? It means that I got nothing to do that I did something totally insignificant...

Owh, and by the way, we're still recruiting more people to join our platoon for paintball. The Equatorial Suns; Aequatorensis ardeat solis!

October 1st, 2010

Ahh...luckily it's already Friday...I'm already beat-up dry to the bone... So, I came a bit late today. It's the first of the month, so I had to stop by the bank first to settle my loan payment. And I was also caught-up in something at home...sorry, not telling...

Anyways, once I got to the office, I received a gift from Kak Wati. It was a nasi lemak. Haha. This is a reward for carrying her stuff from the office to the lobby. Haha. But Kaber also did bought me breakfast, so, yeah, I was really stuffed till noon. Afterward, we completed our attendance sheet and sent it to HR. And I started doing my logbook again. Haha. Completed 2 more weeks today.

Speaking about the logbook, I've actually drafted each week till this week, week 17, but I haven't put it into the template yet. And even if I've put it in, I'd still have to adjust the wordings a little bit for it to follow the flow of the logbook. So, that's the only thing that I have left to do actually. I'll try to complete till week 10 this weekend and print it out on Monday to have it reviewed by Saz.

Well, afterward is the Friday prayers, then we went back to the office and did nothing but chat with the other people there. It seems that's what everyone's doing today. Haha. Nothing to do at work...

So, after work, we went to Lowyat to get Kaber's computer upgrades. And we went using my route again today. If you recalled the previous attempt, we got lost using my route...we ended up going the opposite way... Well, since we decided to give it another try this time, so we went in the correct direction. Unfortunately, we were lost again... Haha. But fortunately, we ended straight at Pavilion as we were lost. And you all know that Times Square is only behind Pavilion. So, we actually ended walking the whole way to Times Square. And it didn't even took us half an hour! WTF!!??! I was really surprised! This wasn't logical! How is it possible!!???!!

Anyways, we went to Lowyat, got Kaber's stuff, and got my stuff at Times, and we went back our separate ways at the monorail station.

And now, I'm back at home... Happy weekends!

September 30th, 2010

I was supposed to be on MC today. But Kaber beat me to it. He got his MC first. Damn. And the best part is, he's not even bloody-fucking sick! Anyways, since I had to come, I came a bit late. It was after 9.00. So, what happened today then? Well, we had our Raya celebration today for the PE Division. And wow, there were lots of food. I took 5 rounds of food! Haha. Everything was great. And by the time it was all done, it was already 3.00. So, basically, today we all came to work to eat. Haha.

Afterward, I got back to the office and continued with my logbook report. I've got everything I needed to complete this week's report. So I don't really need any more input for this week. Haha. Actually, I don't think that my logbooks are exactly according to what I did weekly. But, what the hell, eh? Still, I've gotta say that it's great that I have this blog. It's really useful when times like this arrive. Haha.

Well, that was all ladies and gents. Thanks for reading.

-End of Entry-

September 29th, 2010

Well, since I didn't really write anything for yesterday and the day before, I guess I'll make it up to you today then.

So, Monday, didn't do much at work. We completed the development projects listing from last week using the latest database and finally got it reviewed. But the one that was submitted was from Meg, not our. But we did cross-checked between the two and had Meg's repaired. This one simple task took us the whole day though. It wasn't really because it was hard or tedious. More towards us not really feeling appreciated for our work till now. So, why were we feeling so down today? Shit happens...that's why I was mentioning Murphy's Law the other day.

Anyways, since I'm already writing it, might as well tell the whole story then. So, today, we both got an email from Saz about our attitude in coming to work. We have been showing up after 8.30 for the past couple of weeks - easily put, after Hari Raya. Therefore, she wasn't happy about that and threatened to fail us. Damn. That was truly harsh... I wouldn't do that if I was a supervisor for an intern. Shit, right? Anyways, that really brought Kaber's mood down. And the fact that I couldn't reply her email because my LAN access have been revoked forces him to reply it. And as always, I was being a shithead and kept nagging him to do it quickly. Even after I had my LAN access back, I still forced him to do it. I think that kept him down the whole day.

Even though it was really shit-full for me to do such a thing, but I was even lower than him. So, you have to understand that if he can't share the shit that we both are in together, then it really isn't fair, right? So, fuck it. Leave it at that.

Well, what kept me down the whole day was that ESU called me again and asked for a meeting. So, I went. And it seem that they've not settled my case yet. And also, they were just on the phone with Saz, so since she wasn't happy with us, I looked really fucked up. Anyways, the other thing was that they told me that there's a possibility that I would be terminated from my scholarship because of my previous shit with UTP. Damn... The only thought I had at the moment was to find a lawyer and sue the hell out of Petronas and UTP. If they really do fuck me, I'll fuck them even harder. And in the ass! Damn it... For those who don't really know shit about what happened to me last year, then find someone who knows. I'm not gonna spend my time writing it down here.

So, all I gotta say about all this, the hell with Monday.

Tuesday. We were still feeling some of the aftershock of the previous day. So, we weren't totally happy, but we weren't feeling as low too. So, it turned out a to be quite a fun day actually. Owh, and I also had to represent PEC for the futsal tournament that night as well.

Work on Tuesday was scarce. So, we had the opportunity to do our logbook report then. And we spent the whole day doing it. I've finally completed the 2nd week's report. I've left it before because it was probably the lengthiest of all the other reports. I explained every damn shit about economics in there. So yeah...it was about 10 pages long once it was done. Shit...

Tuesday was a bit casual. So, nothing really messed up the day. And since I went to play futsal in the evening, I got the chance to go to Anas' house. It was really a nice house. Quite charming really. It's close to Ampang Point, so he doesn't have the stress of traveling to work. Haha. He's really lucky about that.

Anyways, we played futsal, and we were all really excited to perform that night, and we lost both matches. Haha. The first was really bullshit. We lost 5-1 to PEG. But the second was better since we had a change of strategy. It was 2-1 and we played against PEP. Damn those rock-scientist... The first match was a clear loss, they played really well. But the second was really stupid. It was a dirty match - they played really dirty. Really. Even our imported keeper from DD, Salihin, said so as well.

Well, afterward Faizul sent me back to KLCC and I went home from there. It was 11.10. I remembered the time because I was looking at it when the train arrived. And in the end, I got home after 12, and I didn't slept the whole night. Shit...

And so, I arrived today at 9.00. Because I was asleep in the train while standing by the door. Haha.

Today was also really easy-going. But I was really tired. I was so tired that I even went to the toilet and slept there! Haha. Seriously. Kaber even came and called my name, but I wasn't aware of that since I was already flat at the moment. Then he said since I didn't answered, he waited to hear the splash of water from the toilet. Since there was none, so he presumed that I was sleeping.

I remembered I went there at 11.00, and I got out at 12.00. Wow...the people sitting in front of the toilet must have been really surprised at the period I took to take a dump. Haha. But seriously, I wouldn't recommend it again. Because the toilet seats in KLCC doesn't have covers. So you can just imagine how hard it was to keep balance while trying to sleep. Luckily there's the mini-sink in each toilet compartment. I lay my left arm there while leaning on it. By the time I woke up, I couldn't feel my left arm. And I had eyes as red as the morning sun. Haha.

Anyways, afterward, I went back to my cubicle and rearranged my files in my computer and distributed them according to weeks which I was given the tasks. And suddenly, it was already 5.00. So we went back home then.

There you have it folks. The three days of the week in a single post. Have fun reading it.

Murphy's Law says, 'Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong'... Damn it...and it had to be a law... It seems Murphy was right today...hmm...he's right every time I guess... Simply put, Murphy's Law means, 'Shit happens'. And it surely did today...

Damn...I was gonna write this...seriously...some shit just came up..gotta go..

I almost forgot that I had to do this today. Stepped into the 'weekend mode' once the clock turned 5.00. Haha. Well, anyways, since I have the time for it today, might as well make the best out of it.

The day started just fine. This whole week, I came after 8.30. So, yeah... Anyways, I had to redo what I did yesterday, which was the PDP-MC. The main purpose of this job is to justify the division. Since everyone was wondering why there needs to be a Petroleum Engineering Division, so, we had to declare what we did and the significance of such. So, what I had to do was quite simple. It was to check the movement of projects classified as development and report in the division's portfolio. All we had to do was check the classification of projects since the Post PGSS 2008/2009 till the 2010/2011, which is the latest. And afterward, declare the reason for the progress of each projects.

Basically, we had to declare that we did study the projects and we did do something about them. And thus, with our effort, we would declare why we are significant. Haha. Simple shit actually - the concept, that is. But the work was really tedious. Fortunately, after two days of suffering and having to deal with Kaber and his inability to understand what the fuck he was doing, we finally completed ours today. Haha.

Yesterday's job was exactly the same. Unfortunately, we were given new databases as it gets later during the day. And each new database came with a note to dismiss the previous databases. Such, rendered our work utterly useless every time. Therefore, since our final database for yesterday was received at 5.00 p.m. local time...yeah...you got the idea... Everything was for nothing! Haha. Actually, we even received a new database today as well. And as such, added to the fact that yesterday's effort was really useless.

Anyhow, that was what we did for today. And I finally got my haircut. Damn. I was starting to get sick of hair falling from my forehead. And talking about hair, Happy Weekend!!!

September 22nd, 2010

Wednesday has arrived...and I was damn busy...didn't even had time for smoke. Well, first of all, I came in a bit late. My dad actually has a meeting somewhere at the Menara Alliance Bank. So, he offered to take me to work. But when I asked him what time did he have to be there, he said around 9.00. Damn. That's a bit too late for me... So, I declined and said I'd go by myself. And as I've said earlier, I came a bit late...I came at 9.15... Shit...should have followed him...

Anyways, we had a little dispute about breakfast this morning. Since Faizul is now our third member in our little clique, he wanted breakfast bought for him as well. But Kaber only bought two. So, I had to go down again to get breakfast for myself...

By the time I came back, and on my way to the pantry, Siti told me that she wanted me to help her with something. So, I told her I would. It was an easy job. Just extract the production profile for list of projects she gave me. I thought it was easy as well when I accepted it. I even agreed to send it in around 2.00...oh how wrong I was... It was easy, but tedious. Imagine this, there were almost a hundred over projects, and most of them were consolidations... Now you probably don't understand this, but I'll give you an example of a consolidation to portray how significant they are. The Baram Existing consolidation has 26 cases in it... Yeah...damn...

Anyways, finally, I completed it and sent it around 4.30. Haha. 2 o'clock my ass... And that is only possible after I asked Kaber to help me with some of it...

So, that was that. We had a short meeting for tomorrow's work this evening. It's related to the Development projects that are dormant throughout the past 4 years. I can't say much about it yet, but I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.

September 21st, 2010

Finally, the day we've all been waiting for has arrived...and it was short...

So, today we had our evaluation for raya. It wasn't grand or what, but since everyone was involved with it...I do mean everyone...the whole floor gathered in front at the waiting area and sang Suatu Hari di Hari Raya by M.Nasir. Haha. It was great. Seriously. Everyone was wearing a Baju Melayu (almost everyone...) and they were all looking pretty and shit. It was all done in about 15 minutes though. Damn. Quite a short celebration...

Anyways, since I had the time, I continued my Unconventional Resources report again. Wow...there's still a lot I haven't done yet for it. Damn again... So, that took the whole day afterward. And then, we went straight back home...

Owh, and Faizul finally got to buy us lunch today. Haha. It was at KFC. We each had 3 pieces of chicken. I'm still stuffed...

September 20th, 2010

Monday, Monday, Monday...oh why can't you be Tuesday...

Well, today I got the chance to complete my decoration on the floor. We even went to Jalan TAR to shop for items. And by the time we got back, it was already 4.00. Haha. Didn't really had anything to do at work. And since the evaluation is tomorrow, everyone's being all pumped-up for the event. All in all, I'd say that we could win first place. As long as the other judges aren't really biased while judging. Because, our GM wasn't really satisfied with the decoration at our place. Haha. Damn. And he's gonna be one of the judges for tomorrow.

Owh, and during lunch, I had Afiqamsyar joined Kaber and I. We didn't have anything special, just the usual nasi campur at Wisma. Anyways, it was quite great to chat with friend you haven't seen for ages. Haha. He's in UM; he's done with his studies there actually. Now he's doing his internship for a government body. I couldn't recall what it is. But he's only here for two months though. So, he won't be sharing much time with us here in KLCC. Owh, I forgot to ask when did he started. The last time I met him, it was almost a month ago. And he's already started then. Damn. He's almost done here.

Anyways, after work, Kaber wanted to buy a steering wheel...yeah...I have no idea why... Owh, and would you look at that, I've just received a text from him while writing this paragraph and it says,"Fear my driving!" Haha. Well, that wasn't what I wanted to tell you though. And on our way to Low Yat, we decided to use my route to the monorail station. So, while we were walking, I didn't really recall vividly the route, so I thought of the direction of Times Square from KLCC, and we ended up going even farther away from it. Haha. We were actually heading the opposite direction when in fact, the monorail station was very close to the KL Convention Center. Even closer than walking from Dang Wangi to Bukit Nenas station. Haha.

Though, it wasn't all bad though. We met Uncle Mike on the way there. He's Uncle Lawrence's brother. And he has a restaurant there close to Jalan Sultan Ismail. Haha. It is a small world after all. Anyways, Kaber got what he wanted, and we went our separate ways from Bukit Bintang onwards. And thus, here I am now.

September 17th, 2010

It was raining in the morning - bombardments upon bombardments of water-drops were pouring from the heavens. And by such, it was a good day to sleep a bit longer than usual. Thus, I got to the office at 10.30. Haha.

So, today? Decoration for raya the whole day. Thank you very much for your time and attention.

September 15th, 2010

Well, at least today wasn't as dull as the previous two days. The morning was quiet. And it seems that even more people came to work today. There was about 15 or so in the office. So, it was a bit livelier in a sense...not really actually. As always, everyone was doing their own stuffs and none bothered to talk to anyone else. It seems that that's the habit of workers these days. They keep themselves coiled-up in their own cubicle - their own little world, and just disregard the existence of everyone else in the world. Sad really. But anyhow, I did have a chat with Prem today in the smoking room. It was quite lengthy by the way. I smoked three butts of cigarettes as we were conversing. But the topics weren't really related much to work, so, I guess I don't have to share this here then.

Then, I had lunch with my dad. Out of the blue, he called and said that he's somewhere around KLCC and he asked if I wanted to join him for lunch with Uncle Burn and Uncle Megat. So, in response, I said yes. And we went to Yassin at Jalan Raja Laut if I'm not mistaken. It was the place where people would queue up the whole length of the sidewalk; sometimes even up till the traffic light before the shop, which was almost 300 meters away. Yeah...and that's where we went to eat. The food was delicious though. I've never thought that nasi kandar could have tasted so good. Haha. It seems I was wrong.

And afterward, back at the office, I helped Kak Wati to decorate the floor for the upcoming Raya Deco evaluation. So, that took time - it even stretched till after office hours. Anyways, Kaber came as well today. But at 5.30 p.m. He was from Nilai, his kampung, and he wanted to take home some papers to update our logbook report. Though, he stayed there a bit longer. Owh, and he was wearing sandals when he came, so, he had to borrow the Security's shoes. Haha. His shoes were damn shiny. It was torn, it had scratches on it, but it was still shiny as hell.

Anyways, that was mostly what happened in the office. Tomorrow's a holiday - Malaysia's birthday. So, in regards to the auspicious event to come; Happy Birthday, Malaysia.

And yet another day gone by with me doing nothing even remotely as worthy as shit...

I did the Unconventional Resources again...that's all...

-End of Entry-

September 13th, 2010

Wow...it's been...wow...I really can't say anything to this. I don't even remember where I left-off...or even if I've left anything hanging... Sorry fellas...I've been away for quite some time. But I am back now. So, since I've forgotten where I was at previously, why not start over, yeah?

So, this blog is about my life as an intern here in KLCC. There you have it. The perfect words. And no other words could be more perfect than the one I've just used.

So, today, it seems that I've been the talk of the town in the office. Everyone's been wondering where I was and what have become of me. Well, I don't know if I have anything to comment on this, but I do have to state one thing though. Kaber and I, we both have taken the same amount of annual leave. Yes. Exactly the same number. Now, tell me please...why doesn't anyone care about him? Why am I being the target here? Sigh...

Anyhow, so I was the eleventh person to come to office today, and I was the last. So, yeah. The place was practically empty. But it was comfortable that way though. Less eyes to look at what you're doing I guess...but it was all good. I did the Unconventional Resources paper the whole day. And I've done nearly close to shit. Really wasn't an accomplishment...

So, i guess that was it then. I've got nothing else on work. Owh, but today was a momentous day nonetheless. Nidzar drove me from KL to Kelana Jaya. Haha. Why is it a big deal? My baby's grown! He's now the driver and I'm the passenger! The table has turned! Haha

August 30th, 2010

Today, was awesome...totally awesome... I literally have nothing else to say about it. It's one of those days that I'll cherish forever in life, and truly a day that defines who we are.

For starters, I'll start with work. Work was great as well. I was done with my Erb West Gas Optimization project in the morning. I did this during the weekends...yeah...I came to the office on weekends...both days... Anyways, so I thought that today morning, I could just send it and get it reviewed. Unfortunately, it seems that I was mislead from the beginning...there were additional projects to be considered as well in the Samarang PSC...and I had to do it all over again... This took a while, really. By the time I was done, it was sometime around 2.00. Then, when everything was grand, I told Siti that I've finished the job, and asked about the reviewing part. So, she told me to go first by myself to review the project with the TPs...wow...I just laughed at the idea...until I realized that she wasn't making a joke... Anyhow, since it was almost time to go home, I thought I'd do it on Wednesday. So, that was work.

Then, on my way back, we had planned for a break fast session at Cantina @ KD for today. At first, I thought that the plan wouldn't proceed since I couldn't contact any of them. But then, one by one, everything seems to fall into place. And we did had break fast at Cantina. There were 11 of us in the group; me, Arbi, Acai, Faressa, Nidzar, Syawal, Omar, Ali, Amir, Farid, and Faris. And it was really one of the greatest moments we had together. The food was marvelous, and the place was appropriate for a gathering such as ours. It's my Uncle Lawrence's place anyways. So, he really appreciated me bringing them today. The place had games for us to play while chatting, guitars for entertainments, and most importantly, the feeling of belonging...it was a great event.

Afterward, we went jamming at Rock!!!Studio. It was close-by. And we jammed the night away...not really...we finished around 11.20...so the night was still there technically. But it's been a while for the most of us. We even reminisce about the times when we were entertainers - the cheers of the crowd as we pluck the first string on the guitar, the enjoyment of performing in front of a crowd, and the everlasting feeling of sensation from the attention you're getting. Owh, how we miss the limelight...and how it was to be young, to be carefree, and to live for the moment...

Then, we went to Kg. Baru to have satay. We were actually planning to get 'nasi dagang', but since it was Merdeka night, everything was finished. The satay was the only thing still available. But we stayed there for quite a while. Just chatting and reminiscing the past. And from our conversations, we realized that we've gone through a lot together, and through time, we've all changed; matured in our own unique ways.

We went back afterward, but only after another drink at Subaidah in Kota Damansara. This was the closing ceremony before we all go our separate ways again. It's been a while since we've had a moment like this. And I believe, it'll be a while again before we'll have another moment like this. So, tonight was a night dedicated to our past, our present, and the future that awaits us. And we lived the night through and through.

Thanks, my brothers. Let the moment live forever in our hearts.

August 26th, 2010

Well, I guess I'll just make it clear right here right now then. The days which I've posted nothing here but was supposed to be a working day for me, would mean that it was my off-day. Therefore, i hope you'd understand the now why I've missed a few days. And I do hope that for future references, there would be no further questions about why I didn't posted anything on any specific day or days. Thank you.

So, today was a grand day. We ate at Nando's for break fast. And we had Secret Recipe afterward, before we went back home. It was really a nice day. I really needed the break from all the fucked-up shit that's happening in my life at the moment... I'm sorry, but I won't be mentioning any of it in here. I am constantly reminded that my blog is for the purpose of my internship and not my personal life. So, if you'd like to listen, I'd be glad to offer a conversation. But it won't be through here. It'll only be between the two of us.

Anyways, today was a smooth sailing day. I didn't have work again, but I did kept myself busy with the Unconventional Resources research. Therefore, time was utterly flying away faster than before. Owh, and today, Nidzar came by. He was on his way back from Maybank tower. He was signing his LO for the position there; he'd be starting next Wednesday. I love it when my friends start to accept the brutality of reality and buck-up to the challenges life has to offer. I pray him good will and all the best for his future undertakings.

So, since I was busy doing the paper on Unconventional Resources, I didn't really had time to do anything else. But I did had long chats with Anas and Faizul in between my work. Just trying to bond better with everyone in the office. I love meeting new people. And Stef was just lovely today. I can barely keep my eyes off of her and she noticed. Wow...I miss her already...

Owh, and finally, today Siti checked on my work for the Gas Optimization for the Erb West project. It seems that I've done more than she asked me to. And I've done a lot. But tomorrow, I'll be reviewing the project with Rozmee, our Technical Professional, on the validity of the project. And whether it would be a good option to proceed. Anyhow, based on my study of the case, it was a good option. The best option actually. Even with our conservative policy, the project was profitable. Seems like a very prospective option to me then. Now, I'll just have to convince people that it is. Tomorrow then. Tomorrow I will wage war against the world and force them to accept my decision. Haha.

Well, that was mostly it. I don't think I have anything else to report for today. Just, I feel like saying it one more time...it was a good day indeed...

-End of Entry-

August 24th, 2010

Today...was utterly...meaningless... I didn't do shit at work. Seriously... I even fell asleep a couple of times during the office hour. Sigh...didn't have anything to do... You wanna know what I did today? I spent the whole day helping Faizul with his case... And I even spent time with him while Siti was checking up on his work. It was mostly my work anyways, so, I had to be there anyhow. Otherwise he'd be rolling on the floor trying to explain what he did. So, I was there to accommodate him... Well, that was basically it...haha... I really got nothing else to report... Sorry...

-End of Entry-

August 23rd, 2010

Well, it's been a while, I'll admit that. Once you've left this, it get old really fast. I don't find the pleasure of writing anymore... But I'll do it for your sake anyways. So just bear with me on this one, okay?

Morning, did nothing much. I started reading the materials that I've got from the library regarding the Unconventional Resources, and I'm still trying to get through all of it before I start making my own comments on the topic. So, that was that. I was really sleepy trying to read all those words. Luckily they weren't as complicated as the PSCs I've been reading. So, I've made some progress there. But I don't think that the papers would be sufficient to complete my report. Thus, I guess I gotta find more materials then to get the info I need.

Afterward, the real work started. I got an assignment on Gas Stimulation on the Erb West project. Well, it was supposed to be a lot of work, but since I had to make clarifications on certain data that were questionable in the input, so, I had to wait for the confirmation till the evening. So, I didn't have anything to do up till that point of time. However, my time wasn't wasted though. I was asked by Faizul to help him out with his economics run for the Kinarut Bypass project. He really wasn't on top of his game today. So, I ended up doing most of it. He just did the clicking with the mouse. Haha.

I didn't want to stress the lad with the technical stuff since he wasn't really paying attention. Hence, that was the reason I did most of it. He wasn't even paying attention most of the time. I'll try to tell him again tomorrow morning on how to use PEEP. Just a refresher. He's done a few stuffs on his own with the software, so, I don't think it'll be much of a problem in teaching him then.

Anyways, that seriously took a whole lot of time. Most of my time today was spent doing that. And by the time I received confirmation on the data, it was almost time to go home. But I did complete it before I went back. Just the exporting to Excel part that I've left out for tomorrow.

So, that was quite it. Owh, I was planning on breaking fast at the office today. But then, Kaber said that he wanted to eat Johnny's at Wangsa Maju. So, we did. But not before we went to shoot some balls first. Haha. It was a great way to end the day, I'd say. I even met the Fairuz, the guy who approved my 100k loan from RHB bank for investment. He was also breaking his fast there with his girlfriend. So, yeah. Just icings on the cake. And now, I'm home in front of my computer doing nothing. Yeah...

August 19th, 2010

Today, I stayed at the office till 1.30. And then I had to go back to settle some stuff with my dad. So, since today was a half day of work for me, so I think I'll just write half of a post today. Acceptable? You don't have a choice anyways. Haha.

So, I did a PSC checking for the Mauritania block today. It wasn't a lot. Just 5 projects if I'm not mistaken. And since I've done almost ten times that number for yesterday, so I didn't have to put much effort in completing it. I was done some time in 11.00. And afterward, I had nothing to do. Kaber and I just sat at his cubicle and chatted the whole time until it was time for me to go back home. Owh, I also helped Kaber in running a Mauritanian project called Tiof. We did a consolidation and an incremental of the project. I was merely supervising him in what to do. But it was a two way learning. I learned a few things from him as well.

So, that was that. And I think that was it. Haha. Half a post. I've kept my word. Thanks for listening though. Choiw.

-End of Entry-

August 18th, 2010

Well, here we are again. I got back really late. Just got home actually. And it's now 10 o'clock. I stayed at the office till 8.30 today. Just because I had nothing to do. Seriously, I really was out of ideas what to do after work today. Actually, I have left the office at 5.15, but the train was really packed with people. Two trains passed without me being able to get in. So, I decided to do the switch-tracks-trick. I took the train heading to Gombak. And once I boarded the train, the train to Kelana Jaya came. And it was a 4 coach. Everyone got in...damn... So, feeling despair for wasting my time just now, I didn't got off at the next station. Instead, I stayed until Wangsa Maju. And the moment I stepped out of the train, I was thinking to myself, "What the fuck?"

Therefore, being at Wangsa Maju, I decided to call up Kaber, and tell him that I was there. And I did exactly that. I only told him that I was there without any other request. I didn't even asked him to come and meet me. Just wanted to let him know that I was there... In the end, I decided to go to the bazaar there. Spent quite a long time there. I even had time to go to Jusco Wangsa Maju. Really was a pointless journey...

Anyways, I bought food to break fast at the bazaar, and got back to the office. I left some time around 7.00, so, there was no chance that I could just stay in the train till Kelana Jaya. I had to stop at the office to break fast. Saz was still there, and Meg was there as well. So, we chatted a bit. But they were more concerned about my work there in the office. So, they were talking more about that than chatting. Owh, and I purposely used the word 'they' just now, because seriously, 'they' were the one discussing. I was merely sitting by the sidelines and hearing their conversation. Ahh... It's great to be cared for. Haha.

Well, that was that, and about work, today I did the entire Indonesia data checking again. And wow, it was really tedious work. Seriously. Today was even worse than yesterday. Because today's work rendered yesterday's useless. So, I had to start all over again with more objectives to accomplish. Damn. Fortunately I was able to complete it by the end of the day though.

Hmm... I guess, that was all I did actually. We had a brief meeting in the morning about the data checking. Everyone was involved in it, so, at least I knew that what I did meant something to someone. Quite a sensational feeling I had then. But that's just me, I don't know about how other people would feel. So, yeah...

Anyhow, ladies and gentlemen, I guess we're at the end of the story. So, I'll be taking my leave then. See you tomorrow, aite? Chiow...

August 17th, 2010

Aaaaahhh~~~ Today is a day I shall never forget... And with writing it here, I'll entomb it in my memory for the rest of my life...

First of, let me just apologize for yesterday. I didn't go to work, so, I didn't have anything to write here then. Unless of course if you'd like to know how to clean a spark plug for a Volkswagen beetle. Yup, I had to skip work to repair my ride. Because, without a ride, I can't go to work now can I? Haha. It's really up to you to decide if it was really necessary for me to skip work.

Anyhow, today was really great. First of all, I came by early to work, the second to be in the office. Then, I just did nothing but browse the department's folder inside the database. I was trying to dig up info on the people around me. And my oh my, what interesting info I've found out. I won't tell you everything I know here, since It'd make me look really really desperate/depressing/pathetic. So, I'll just tell a few. Owh, I found out that Sarah was actually a student from UTP. Can you believe that? I know I couldn't even when I had proof in front of my eyes... Terry Pratchett once said, "Seeing, contrary to popular wisdom, isn't believing. It's where belief stops, because it isn't needed any more." But in this case, since I can't believe what I'm seeing, I've seem to have proven him wrong.

Okay, so enough with that. Work. So, today, I've emailed my list of titles for the SPE Papers for my research on the Unconventional Resources, and, my God, he replied with the complete list of papers that I've requested. Which was really interesting. I didn't expected they'd have all of the papers. But it seems they did. And now I have all that I needed to start. Now I wonder when will I actually start. Anyways...afterward, I had a discussion on my previous attempt at correcting the model for Palung Aru. Hmm, it seems that the model I was given was the one that was wrong. But the model in use was not. Well, it didn't hurt to tell anyways. But it hurt my feelings though to know that my accomplishment was proven to be useless. Sigh.

So, close to noon, I had to do a PSC extract again today. This time it was on SBO Block N. And this time it was given by Sarah. I really couldn't say no... However, while doing it, I seem to recall very familiar provisions stated in the PSC. And after a little checking, it seems that the extract was done by Kaber previously. So, it didn't even took me 15 minutes to send it back to her. And obviously she was shocked with my sheer speed, but I told her the whole story afterward. Owh, but then, she wasn't satisfied yet, so she asked me to help her to find a provision for THV for the Sabah Deep that she was doing. And I had to lean in front of her to look for it. Her hair was touching my arm. Haha.... Okay, that was a little bit over the border of pervert-ism. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it though. But I had done the same PSC before which had none. So, I thought that it should have been the same. But I haven't told her yet. I'll probably do so tomorrow then.

Then, after that, I had a job from Ada. Wow, this one was really tedious. Really really was tedious. I did it from morning till 5.30 in the evening... So, yeah. You've guessed when did I left work today. So, the job was to check the viability of the data in the entire Indonesia projects in PEEP. Wow...the entire projects... Owh, and for both this year and last year's PGSS data...There was 45 projects in total...wow...really was a head breaker... But wait, that wasn't all, I even had to extract data from last year's PGSS database for the Capex, Opex, and the THVs for both oil and gas for all the projects. And this was a different exercise entirely. So, yeah...that was quite it. My whole days work.

And then, finally, the one moment that really made my day. Haha. Today, from the moment I waited for the elevator from the office, till the LRT train reached the Bangsar stop, I was accompanied by Stef along the way! Haha. We chatted about ourselves, about my study, and a few other things. I didn't want to spoil the moment though, so I was very conservative in choosing the topics to chat about. It was great. She was great. And the best part is, I have the perfect reason to not stop staring at her. Haha. She really is a lovely gal...

Well, I guess that was it. My loverly Tuesday. And today was also the first day of work for me. So, really was an awesome start of the week. Haha. Owh yeah, before I forget, Kaber wrote yesterday's events when he was at the office. So, he asked me to blog it for you guys to read about it. So, without further a due, ladies and gentlemen, Kaber's yesterday at the office without me:

This is my story of the day. Because Moja did not come to work today, I guess I, Kaber, shall tell you the tale of the interns. Well, I woke up late today. Very late. I kinda think that it was intentional. I mean, waking up at 7.40am after sahur is really late. Anyways, I head to the office anyway, thinking that there is nothing to do if I skip work today. And then that was the time I read Moja’s message. “I’m heading back home with 1 spark plug.” Huh? What?! The message was delivered at 7am. So, I guess that he’s not gonna be at the office today.

9.10am. I arrived at the office. I thought that I’m gonna get that “glare” from other people because I came late. But, fortunately everyone else is busy with their jobs. I rushed to my cubicle and set up my external hard disk. As any other worker in PETRONAS, the first thing I did was to check my emails. No jobs. Good. So I went to find Siti to ask for anything to do. She said to continue with a task she had assigned me since last week. The task: Tiof, Mauritania. The job: prep the case file in PEEP for PGSS use, so I gotta search for the relevant data to fill in PEEP. A problem with that. I need the G&G costing from a DD person and he was unable to provide me with the data. So, I hit a snag there.

I relaxed and downloaded Leverage to fill my time. I even went to the Celcom Blue Cube downstairs to pay my broadband bills. When I came back up, that’s when I realized that a new staff joined the office. It’s a “she”. Happy. Her name is Maybel. Weird. But, she became my third reason to come to the office every day. She studied in the States and Faizul knew her. Urrah.

Anyways, around 2.30pm, Faizul came to me to ask some things about a job he had to do. He also said that I had to do the job too. The shock! I didn’t receive any emails regarding the job. So, I rushed to Siti for clarification. It seems the job was to check all the checkings me, Moja, Sarah, Faizul had done last week. And the worst part, she wanted it to be done today. OMGWTFBBQ.

3.50pm. My eyes were tired. I started to feel dizzy. Then, I heard Siti’s voice. “Stop!” She told me to stop all the work that I have done for the job. She wanted to rerun the cases, then we can check them. Argh. Thank God she told me and Faizul to go home and relax. So, here I am, relaxing. Telling about my day. And I am still at the office at 4.20pm. Uh, Stef is coming this way. Gotta go. Chiao.

P/S Moja:

It seems that PETRONAS gives free dates (kurma) every year. In a nice box. I have yours. So, what are you gonna do?

What am I gonna do? Well, I should have answered this yesterday, because today, I knew that the box for the kurma was really grand. Haha. So, what did I do? I left it at the office. It's now my new piggy bank. Haha.

So, thank you so much for your time and attention. Love you guys. Chiow~

August 13th, 2010

Today...was awesome!!! Haha. And I only got one reason for that, and only one word to describe that reason; Expendables!!! Haha. God, it was a great movie. The plot wasn't all that complicated like Inception or Dark Knight, but it defines an action movie. This was totally a great action movie. Especially with all the cast that were acting in it. Haha. This, people, is a 4 times watch-at-cinema movie. Trust me, it is worth it.

Well, anyways, I don't want to spoil all the fun by telling you what it's all about, but I'm telling you to go and watch it. That's all I'm saying. So, about work then. Well, I got nothing much to do in the morning, but it was all good. Owh, I did have that one assignment yesterday, so I did that. And it was a head-breaker. Yeah, it really was. You know what? That assignment was actually what people that was working there have been doing. Except that it was mostly done by the experts or the senior staffs. But, I, an intern, was given the same task. Haha. I don't know how exactly to feel about that though. But, being an envisage of pride, I am really proud of that fact. Haha. Anyways, I spent most of the day doing that. But I was able to complete it. I completed it some time around the afternoon.

Then, afterward, I was given another task by Siti. This time, I am to continue the work of Faizul and Kaber. The task was to cross check the project listings with the data inside PEEP. And wow, there were a few things that I was able to highlight that was quite hilarious. Haha. Can you imagine, there were a few cases that had the abandonment annual payment to be around US$ 2000 - 3000. Haha. Setting up the facilities costs around US$ 100 - 200 million, but taking it off cost only a couple of thousand. That was really hilarious. You can't even buy a car with that amount of money. Haha. Anyhow, that was that. We had a KSS meeting after prayers, and I had to continue doing the job afterward. But I did manage to complete it by today.

Owh yeah, I just mentioned that we had a KSS meeting today. It was about the new PITA system which is being implemented. It seems that there's new rules about it now. First of all, I think I must explain the previous situation so that you'll get a better grasp of the whole system. Prior to 2009, the tax were calculated throughout the year, and paid the next year. Therefore, 2008's tax is paid in 2009. But, in 2009, there were changes made, but it was only taken into effect this year. Now, we have to pay the amount monthly, and on the same year. Therefore, 2010 onwards, the payment of tax is made monthly. But 2009's tax weren't paid yet, so, the government gave us a 60 months installment plan to pay the 2009 tax. This is to reduce the burden to the company. However, there's a flaw on the new system though. It seems that since the tax is paid the same year, you have to estimate the amount of tax to be paid. And it can't be less than 85% of the previous year's total amount. Otherwise, you'd be fined an amount equal to 10% (this 10% is not explained though, 10% of what exactly? the total this year, or last year? or of the total paid so far?) Anyhow, that was that. Quite informative though.

Owh yeah, I almost forgot. Today, Kaber had an interesting story to tell me. This incident happened in the morning while he was on his way to the office. It was so interesting that he even wrote it down so that I could copy and paste it in here. So, here's his story. Enjoy. Haha.

I listened to an interesting conversation at wangsa maju just now I was queuing behind a man, waiting for the train to come. There was a hot chinese chick on my right, 'making an third queue'. She was standing alone and apparently waiting for the train. Suddenly, the following conversation happened between the man in front of me and the hot chick.

"Miss, are you queueing?"

"Yeah"

"Well miss, that's not the queue. THIS is the queue (showing the end of my line)"

"Yeah" The chick then ignored the guy and looked away. The guy, irritated, tapped on the chick's shoulder.

"Hello miss, didn't you understood what I just said? You are not queuing! THIS is the queue!(shows the end of the line again). What you are doing now is cutting the queue! I know you are looking all hot and sexy, but that doesn't mean you can be a jerk too! Lot's of people are waiting for the train, but you are making their wait pointless! So, go to the back of the queue!!"

There was a moment of silence at the platform. I guess his voice can be heard throughout the area. Then, the girl talked.

"Jerk!" And she left, went to the end of the platform, and queued there.

Some of the people there was talking, and some of them are still startled. I, on the other hand, said to the guy, "Thanks". Then, some other people praised the guy for his deed.

Then, a 4-coached train arrived. The hot chick sprang to the end of the platform and made a queue to an empty area. She got in. Me and the guy didn't.

Haha. And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. It seems today's a special day for you since you get to read two stories simultaneously on my blog. Haha. Anyhow, we both would like to say that it was a great day nevertheless. I'm still smiling. Haha.

August 12, 2010

What a day... I got to switch back to my previous cubicle today. And it seems that I'll be staying there for a while. I hope so that is... Well, there were also talks when I was moving my stuff that I'll have to change places again once Ada or Siti changes their place. Therefore, I don't think this will last long... Wow...it's just that...I've only been here for a few months, and I'm already everyone's pet. Haha. Anyways, as long as I get to do something while at work, I am really happy with it.

So, what did I do today? Well, I switched places, that was mentioned, and that took some time of my morning. And then, I did a bit of work by Zaireen. It was something on the Indonesian block; Palung Aru. I did this once or twice before, so, this time it was data checking in the PEEP. And, I sure did found a few things that were off. Well, first of all, there were two models that she gave me, but both were on Palung Aru. And then there was Opex prior to production, and the bonuses were all wrong. So, I highlighted this with Zaireen, and in the end, she asked me to create different cases using the two different models that she gave me.

So, that was quite it. I wasn't even able to complete it by today. So I guess I'll be doing that tomorrow morning then.

Owh, a couple of interesting facts that you'd probably like to know; today, I went out at 6.00 in the morning. Then, since yesterday I had a really bad headache during work, so I decided to sleep first once I got to Kelana Jaya. So, I did slept at Kelana Jaya, in my car. Haha. And it was quite long. I slept from 6.20 to 7.20. Haha. Once in a while I could sense that there were people passing through and looking inside my car. Probably they thought I was drunk last night and fell asleep in my car. Haha.

And the other thing was that, Jamil came today. And he wanted me to be his wing-man for a date. Haha. He asked his high school crush out today. I didn't even remember her name. Anyways, she's a Chinese girl taking optometrist or something at the Tun Hussien Onn National Eye Hospital. So, yeah, I stayed with him till we break fast. Now, that was really something I didn't expect today. And I saw Jamil all nervous and shit. Haha. Fortunately I don't act like that whenever I'm around women. I just simply fade to the background...hmm...which is worst I think...

Well, ladies and gents, that was Thursday for you. I'll see you tomorrow then.

August 11th, 2010

First of all, let me just say that it was my day off yesterday, therefore, I didn't went to work, and thus, I didn't have anything to write here. Heh...even after all this while, I still do remember what this blog is all about then...haha. Anyways, happy Ramadhan, ladies and gentlemen. I hope today was a great day for all of you. And I hope that it was also a benefiting first day of fasting for everyone who was fasting today. Find peace in the embrace of God.

With that said, so I'll tell you what happened at the office today. Well, since it was the first day of the fasting season, therefore, I can't smoke during the day, and that surely did affected me a lot. I can't believe this, but I had a really bad headache the whole day. And I was really sleepy too all the while. Work didn't helped in the situation though. I only had to do a PSC extract for SBO block N, and that was it. Nothing else. Seriously, I felt like half of my brain was taken away from me. I swear I could feel the empty spaces in my head. My visions were blurry, and I can't recall most of the things I did today.

Well, there you have it. That was what happened today. I don't really have anything else to say about it. But I do hope that this would all come to past in a while. I can't seem to function in this state. Anyways, that was that. And, again, happy fasting.

August 9th, 2010

Yet another Monday. Getting up this morning really got me wishing that today was Sunday...really had the Monday blues... But it seems that everyone else wasn't in the same boat as I was. The minute I stepped into the office, everything was hectic. Everyone was running around the office, people shouting and screaming, there were clusters of people having discussions, and there were faces I've never even seen before in my life in the office. It seems that there were three meetings with various departments going on in the morning. It was like a battlefield there...the only thing lacking were bullets flying over our heads and blood smeared all over the floor. Haha. Okay...maybe I'm overstating it just a little too much here. But it sure was hectic. In that situation, I started to wonder, where's their Monday blues? It is Monday, but their lacking their blues...

Anyways, I didn't have anything to do in the morning. So, I was told to supervise Kaber and Faizul; the new guy. Their doing data checking on the SBOs projects in PEEP. So, I spent most of the time with Faizul. He's only been here for a week or so. If I'm not mistaken, this is his second week. So, yeah...had to pay attention to him more than Kaber obviously. But he was in the right track though. Even though he didn't understand most of the things that he was doing at the time, but he was able to do it just fine. So, cheers to him then.

Afterward, I had to do PSC extracts again. This time it was a Mauritanian PSC. And this PSC was a whole lot different that the ones I've seen so far. Owh, as it was previously, me and Kaber did a coin toss again to see who gets which one. So, again, I won the toss, but I got the tedious ones again... It seems that winning doesn't necessarily mean that you're lucky... So, that was my job for the evening. But along the way, Siti did asked me to help her with running a few cases for the Mauritania projects. So, I did that in a jiffy. But this was some time around 4.45. So, by the time I sent her the completed file, it was already time to leave. And so we left...

So, basically, that was what happened today. Nothing special or anything though. It was a slow, but smooth day. Really fits the definition of Monday blues...

Thus, tomorrow then... Chiow...

August 6th, 2010

Well, today was really interesting. From the moment I woke up till the end of the day. First of all, yesterday I was told that my granduncle will be holding a gathering of the family in the evening, today. Therefore, this morning, after I've prepared myself for work and whatnot, my step mom asked me to wear a 'Baju Melayu' to the office since I'll be going straight to the event afterward. Thus, I wore a 'Baju Melayu' to the office. Complete with 'Samping' and 'Songkok'. Haha. And what's even more interesting is that, of all the 'Baju Melayu' that my step mom could have chosen, she picked a pink coloured 'Baju Melayu'. Haha. So, yeah...I guess no wonder people were staring at me the whole time I was in the train.

Anyways, so today, even with my appealing attire, I still had to work as other people. Therefore, today I completed the Samarang Pipeline Economics. Owh, I realized today that I had to do more than 90 separate cases just for this economics calculation. Haha. Since the field has 16 pipeline, and there were three phases to be considered; the existing, the enhancement, and the redevelopment. Then, every pipeline and phases, I had to consider for both scenarios; with leakage, and without leakage. Therefore, 16x3x2=96... Wow...this was really unexpected...seriously...and I don't think Siti expected this as well. Haha. Well, it's a job that I gotta do anyways, so, I just did it. And I did complete it by the evening. Haha. Really was a great effort. But I had to do it anyhow, the due date for the economics was today, evening. So, I had to squeeze my brain really hard to settle the matter. Finally, today I got to share the stress of working in economics department. Haha.

So, that was work. Then, we had a KSS session in the afternoon. It was presented by Stef and she touched about the methodology of creating cases in PEEP. To tell you the truth, this was probably the only meeting that I could really make sense of the topic they were discussing. All the previous ones were really 'economical' that I couldn't even understand half of what they were talking about. But today's really caught my attention. Um...but I think that point stands because it was Stef that was presenting, so, I was probably paying more attention to today's session. Haha. Ahh...you can think whatever you like, I have my reasons, and I'll keep it to myself. Haha.

Owh, something really interesting happened today in the morning. Some of the staff from the Reservoir Department; the department sharing the same level with us, they wanted to take pictures with me since I was wearing a full 'Baju Melayu' today. And they really did! Haha. I even had to pose for them. Ahh...but unfortunately I didn't took a picture as well. And I didn't even asked for a copy of their picture. Sorry mates...It didn't crossed my mind at the moment. Though, it didn't crossed my mind because my head was really saturated with the work I was caught up in that morning. So, you can't really put the blame on me there. So, that was that... Everyone who knew about this was laughing all every time they were reminded of it. Haha. So I guess this could be put into my report then. Being a model for a photo-shoot. Haha.

So, after everything was done at the office, I went back. It was quite early; 5.30. But please be reminded that I have an event to attend. Therefore, I went straight there. It was fun though. Met a lot of family members whom I haven't seen in a very long time, and some of them I've never even known them my entire life - but they were still family. Haha. Well, I believe that there's no place on this country where I could find someone related to my bloodline. There's always a family somewhere... Anyways, I went back from the gathering some time around 11.30. And now I'm at home...

Owh, by the way, I'm extracting Star Craft II right now. Haha. Will tell you on Monday if it works. So, I believe you'll understand if I have to go now, right? Haha. Chiow then...

-End of Entry-

August 5th, 2010

Today was really busy...seriously busy... I was asked to do pipeline economics for the Samarang pipelines assembly and calculate the economics for two scenarios, whether to change the existing pipelines, or to use the old ones but with leakage. It was actually supposed to be an easy task, but unfortunately, there are 16 pipelines in total; 14 for Samarang, and 2 for Erb West. Therefore, I had to create separate cases for each pipeline... You know what? I left the office at 9.00 p.m. today, and I still haven't finished the economics...

So, what else happened today? Well, lunch was free again for today. And today, we had Al-Rawsha for lunch. I don't think I spelled the name right. But I don't know how it's spelled right anyways, so lets just stick to that for this time. So, about lunch, me and Kaber had to go and get the lunch again, as always. But this time, we had to follow Farah and Hasanul to the restaurant to get it. Haha. As I said yesterday, quite a way to waste time. Haha. So, after we brought it back to the office, I ate while watching the new episode of White Collar. It was great... The food and the episode.

Then, we had an EPRC meeting today. So, we joined as always and just sat by the sidelines...as always... But I didn't sat till the end anyhow. I had to go down to Dessert's Bar to check on the preparation for the Farewell Party. But luckily, I was able to sit through Stef's presentation... Sorry...I was just trying to make this a bit more interesting... Well anyways, halfway through, I went out, and down to the place. Everything was great. They really know how to organize an event. Well okay, maybe they didn't organize it, but they did a really great job at preparing the food. And the food was great as well. I especially loved the pastries. Haha. Sorry, I have a sweet tooth. So, I'll usually go for the dessert first during a buffet. All in all, the event was great. We finally got to have a long chat with the new guy. Owh, if I haven't mentioned this, there were two new people who joined the department starting on Monday. So, yeah. It was nice to make new friends.

Well, I've told you what happened next. I went back to the office, and continued with my work, and stayed there till my brain started screaming in agony. I guess tomorrow morning, my brain will be screaming again...

So, ladies and gentlemen, there you have it. My day for today. To tell you the truth, I realize now that my life is revolved around the office. I don't have any other thing to do other than work. Wow...now I'm starting to imagine my life when I've really started working in KLCC...sigh... One day at a time i guess...that's the way to pull through...

-End of Entry-

August 4th, 2010

Well, one thing's for sure...today's Wednesday. Haha. So this proves that yesterday was Tuesday. I seriously believed yesterday was Wednesday.

Anyways, I don't think I did much work today. In the morning, I compiled the list of PGSS projects for this year and last year. That took me some time. By the time I was done with it, it was already 12. So, there was my morning. Owh, there was a bit of an argument in the morning where they didn't want the Farewell party to be held tomorrow evening, therefore, I had to ask everyone to what date they'd like to postpone the event. And in the end of all that madness, there were no changes made. Haha. Quite a way to waste time. So, that was practically everything that happened in the morning.

Then, we had free lunch today as well. And afterward, I had some work to be done on Samarang pipeline projects, but that was also nothing. What I meant to say is, when Siti was explaining to me the methodology of the job, we both found out that there were major differences between the data that she gave me and the data that is in PGSS last year. Major. Seriously major. Therefore, in the end she asked me to compile all the differences between the two data to check with somebody. Well, that was almost at the end of the office hour. So, yeah...I did nothing in the evening. Everything was hectic though, with all the checking and cross-referencing, but in the end, there was nothing productive from all that. Thus, I stand by my word when I say I did nothing in the evening. Haha.

Anyhow, I guess that was today. I have nothing else to report. So, chiow?...yeah...

-End of Entry-

August 3rd, 2010

Honestly, I thought today was a Wednesday...it's only Tuesday it seems...sigh...

Well, today started off slow. I didn't want to leave early, so I left some time around 7.00, and of course, was stuck in the morning traffic. But I think I really needed it. It's the best place in which I have time for myself to contemplate and think about...anything... Yeah...so it seems there is something good from traffic jams. But I didn't remember what I was contemplating about really...probably just thoughts that came through my mind at the moment... But anyways, lets start talking about work then. Work was quite hectic in the morning. I was asked by Saz to extract LIBOR rates for her presentation in the EPRC meeting today. And she wanted it before the meeting. She asked me to complete it before noon, because the meeting was at 2.30. However, when she wasn't at her desk, someone asked Hasanul tu tell Saz that she could start once they were finished in the meeting room. So, that was shocking news. To me especially since I had to complete the presentation before the meeting. So, I delayed breakfast to settle the stuff. Saz got it around 10.30 if I'm not mistaken.

So, after that was breakfast, which I had alone since Kaber was too hungry to wait for me. And afterward, I was handling the Farewell Party for Kak Mas. I had to call the girl from Yosh!, her name was Eu Nee...at first I thought it was Yuni. Haha. We went cubicle to cubicle to ask them to vote for the menu. I wasn't really planning on following through with it actually. Because I already know that everyone wants something different. So, obviously there would be a lot of draws. And there were. Haha. So, the final decision was made by me, but I did think it through though. My selection was based on my opinion of the mixture of food to be added. I think it would be great anyhow. Owh, but we had to change the date to Thursday since the place couldn't manage to prepare everything by tomorrow. So, yeah. Fortunately nobody complained about that. Owh yes, and another thing, I had to pay for the 50% deposit. Haha. Kak Zetti actually was supposed to be paying, but she wasn't around for almost the whole day. So, I had to take that responsibility from her and put my foot on the bill. So yeah...well I do hope I'll get to see my money back...

Other than that, I finally went to the library to start my research. And unfortunately, I found out that the SPE papers that they have are in soft copy. Therefore, they have to email it to me if I wanted them. Haha. That would also mean that I won't be spending any time at the library. But it's actually a really nice place. But it reminded me so much of UTP's IRC...because the designs were the same except for the colours they chose to decorate the place. It's really a great place though. I can't say much about the book collections though...there weren't much. Most of the shelves were empty, and I do mean most - like 70% probably. Haha. So much for a library then... So, I guess I'll be doing that some time later.

In the evening we had EPRC meeting about the gas pricing. So, we just sat there as always. But I've realized one thing though, I could understand better what they were talking about than previously. It seems I did learn something from all of this. Fancy that... Well, it was a really long meeting. And the best part is that they weren't finished with it yet. Haha. They still have to continue later on Thursday and another day next week. Owh, one series of event did happen during the meeting that was interesting. First, Kaber went back home at 5.15 before the meeting ended. Then, Stef went in, she thought that she'd be able to present her's this evening, and then she sat next to me, and we conversed! Haha. It has improved since previously, this time we did speak more than one sentence. Since we were conversing then, so I thought I'd ask to join her going back since we were both taking the LRT heading the same direction. I was planning to say this after I came back from smoking, but unfortunately, she was already leaving the meeting room by that time...sigh....damn... Well, hopefully this chance will come again someday... Sigh...hope...it's a sin to hope...

Anyways, I watched The Dark Knight before I went back, and I was the last person to leave the floor. Haha. Which was really unexpected. Well, that was Tuesday for you... Cherio~

August 2nd, 2010

What? It's August already? And you know what? Today's the first day for the second quarter of my intern! Haha. Um...I shouldn't have put it that way...it's the first day of my remaining 3 quarters of intern? Ahhh! Bullshit anyway...still a long way to go...

Anyhow, so today was a nice day - I didn't say it was great, or even good...but it was nice... Probably the main reason would be that I've completed my PSCs extract! Haha. Lovely...the world suddenly shines a little bit brighter today...literally...it didn't rain in the evening. So that was unexpected. Well, there you have it. Today, I spend the whole day at work completing my assignment. And now I'm free as a bird in the blue sky flying over the vast ocean. Haha.

I came not too early, not too late today - just nice. It was around 8.10. And we had a meeting for the coming PGSS in the afternoon, so, that was that. Really wasn't much benefit to us interns since we already know that we won't be involved in PGSS. Owh, and we went to the Dessert's Bar - finally. And it seems that if you'd like to have a gathering there, you have to go through an event management company. Which I think is the parent company for the cafe. But the offer they gave were quite cheat actually. Can't comment on the food just yet. I haven't been to the place before. I'll let you know once I've tried.

And another thing that happened today was that an ESU officer called me today saying that he wanted to see me tomorrow to discuss about my case. So, yeah... But that's tomorrow's story. So I don't give a damn about it yet. My principle has always been, plan for the future, but live one day at a time. Those who have never been as unfortunate as me wouldn't understand though. A life full of mishaps such as the one I lead is longer compared to theirs. Every second comes by slower than normal, and sometimes, you could see the bullshit that's coming your way. But there's nothing you can do about it... But!...it is not this day! For today, was a nice day indeed.

Well, lets see how tomorrow turns out to be. I won't expect a day like this to come very often. So, probably tomorrow would be shitty. But you'll never know, right?

Live forever and prosper. For you'll die for a day one day later.

July 30th, 2010

It's the last day of work for July, and, if you've noticed how many posts I've made, today's the 40th. Hence, it's already a quarter of my internship period!... Hmm...damn...it's only been a quarter...I gotta go through everything I've gone through up until now for another three more times...shit...

Well, today was really slow for me...I was pathetically sick...but as a good intern, I still came to work. But you wanna know something shitty about coming to work today other than the fact that I was sick? Kaber didn't came. Um...actually I shouldn't really say it was shitty. Well, the fact that he didn't came was shitty of course, but he had valid reasons. His grandmother was sick. His aunt called him to come back home when he was already at the train station. So, I really can't fight that. Family first as they say.

Anyways, so today, I just sat at my table and did the PSC extracts till it was time to leave. I'm quite proud to say it though. Because I've done with 6 PSCs, and I'm left with only two more to go. Nice. And yesterday I was only able to complete two out of eight. So, that was really it. Owh, Ada asked me to do something today. Actually it was asked by Tasha, but Tasha told Ada to ask me. It wasn't anything really. I was done in 15 minutes if I'm not mistaken. Really was an easy stuff. It was to convert a clause in a PSC to a formula. Well, I'll just say one thing to that...I have a lawyer for a father...other parents would probably read their children bedtime stories at night, mine read contracts. Haha. That's not really true though. I was simply kidding. But truthfully, I've had several occasions where I fell asleep reading contracts. Therefore, I'd say that it should fall as bedtime stories then. Haha.

Anyways, that was really it. My whole day. Sorry I could say much more about it. Owh, my car broke down today...again...this time it was the clutch... Sigh... I've got nothing to say to that... And the best part was, it broke down after the flyover from the Subang Airport road. It was the main road in front of the Summit. Yeah...that road was also the busiest road everyday... I really don't have nothing to say to this...

So, ladies and gentlemen, all have been said and told, now, I'll be taking my leave then.

Well today was the day we had to perform...the day we've all been training so hard for...and it was great! Haha. Most of us didn't even want to go back to the office. And since we had to, everyone wasn't in the mood for work. Haha. It was really an interesting day really.

The event started at 7.30 and ended at 2.00. So, since that consumed more than half of the working hours, I guess I'll be telling you about it then. Well, the event began with breakfast at 7.30, but the talks started at 8.00. So, I had breakfast alone today. Even though there were more than a hundred people there, I ate alone...sad...I know... But anyways, the talk started with a paper presentation about carbon emission reduction by industry and how are we tackling the matter. It was quite informative. Though, I've done a paper on the same subject previously hence therefore I find it easier to relate to the matter. I'm not sure about everyone else though. Owh, so here's a snapshot of the paper I did on the subject. It wasn't for Petronas though, it was for a different company.





So, the next paper wasn't related to us at all, it was more towards the enhancement of capabilities of staff throughout the company. Therefore, I didn't really paid much attention on the paper. I even went out to smoke. Then there was a tea break around 10, and the event continued with another presentation about the SKG10. Yeah...wasn't related to us as well... But the session afterward was the most interesting, and I didn't want to miss out on it. It was the Question and Answer session. There were quite a number of questions raised. And all were interesting in their own way. I even debated with Kaber on each and every questions that were asked. You probably don't know me that well, so, I'll just say that I'm someone who loves to answer questions. Haha. And the only thing I love more than to answer question, is to answer it with another question. And thus, I'll make you ponder on the answer yourself. This way, I know that you'll use your brains for sure. Haha.

Well, that was all about the briefing, and then we had our lunch at a different hall. And yes, this was the time we had to perform. Haha. It was great. To be on the stage in front of so many people. It reminded me of the old days when I had a band... Hmm...I missed the lime-light...

Anyways, that was the end of it. We went back to the office afterward. And I continued with my PSC extracts. I'm done with another PSC today. So, that leaves me with five more to go. I think I'll be able to complete it by the weekends.

Owh, and by the way, Stef was really friendly with me today. I saw her glanced at me once in a while...or probably she was the one who noticed I was glancing at her...I don't know... Anyhow, as always, me being a brick on the wall, every time she tried to get closer to me, I acted like...um...a brick...on the wall... Sorry, I can't find any better words for it...I am hopeless...sigh... Now I really feel like banging my head on a brick on the wall... Well, just so you know, I found out that she was a blogger as well. But her last entry was back in 2008. So, yeah...that was quite a while ago... And I also know that she's from LSU and that she published a few articles in a website before. This was probably when she was still in the university. It was dated 2006. And I know that she entered Petronas in 2007... Arrgghh!!! I know...this is really really perverted...sigh... But it is my nature anyways...if I were to dig info about something, I'll dig really really deep... Sorry if this is a bit off from the point of this blog...

Alright, so we'll get back on track then. Another thing that happened today was, I was given a project by Saz to do a research on Unconventional Oil and EOR. So, I'll be going to the library for sometime in the near future. It seems that I'll be doing a report based on what I've researched. So, yeah...unlike the other interns, I'll be doing a report during my internship. I guess it'll fit nicely in my final report later. So, I'm not gonna complain about it.

Well, I guess we're already at the end. I don't have anything else to write down about today. Owh, I'll probably mention this earlier, since I'll be doing the same thing over and over again at work, my post would probably be shorter and shorter as I have nothing else to report about. Tomorrow then...
