In the middle of ocean

I was asked to come back from Bangkok to standby for few days before flying for the next job. I did, but for just less than 24 hours, I took off to Labuan, stayed for the night, the next day before the day broke dawn, I was on the chopper setting out to the rig. Forgot to mention, I got such a short notice on this, I had to pack my beg while the taxi driver was already waiting for me at my condo. Great achievement. Hehehe...

Has been out here in the middle of ocean, offshore Sabah. I am onboard a tender-spar rig, standing in a water depth of about 1300m. I came here with another engineer, who is of my age as well, but a bit more experienced. Thinking of it that the two of us had to run the job without a supervisor, it's definitely a crazy arrangement. Luckily, things have been going fine, and everybody is happy so far. The rig should be drilling to the total depth today, and hence I should be anticipating an relieve in a week time or so.

Being my first time offshore, I am certainly feeling bored already after a week. Got not much to do after installing and commissioning my equipment. Anyway, it's good that I have picked up a lot. Hopefully the learning curve hikes more...

I'M WAITING FOR MY CHOPPER TO FLY OFF...
