Talking From Work

Okay. I might be abusing this but seriously, there is nothing for me to do now. I have been reading manuals(not much really) and annual reports of the other companies which deals with my company. It is quite interesting to see why a company has a lower revenue compared to other years etc. However, I do get lost with the jargon their throw out in the accounting side.

Anyway, the person who is suppose to give me the simulation project just got in today will(hopefully) will send me a well which has been done and I can compare my simulation to the others. So, now at least I don't feel guilty about yesterday not doing anything. He is currently busy and I still have no idea how to pronounce people's name. They have Å, Ø, Æ at the front, middle and end of their names which makes it canggih yet a tongue-twister.

As for today, I was late for work because of the road being too busy. Yes yes. That's not an excuse but there isn't a pedestrian cross anywhere and I had to go all the way up(about 50 metres) to cross the road. Not that I suck in crossing the road but the road has 4 lanes. How to cross when it's rush hour!?!? Not to mention is was raining.

Ah yes. The room I'm in is extremely cold. I have no idea why the air con is at full blast. Yes on Monday it was quite warm about 25 degrees but now it is like 14 degrees outside but it feels like 8 degrees. Those who know me I like the cold but when I say it's cold it is REALLY cold. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I have to roll down my sleeves.

Talking about shirts, it seems attire wear here is very casual. People come in with polo shirts with jeans. You gotta love engineering firms. I think most of the people in engineering usually are quite casual. It isn't like those working in the city.

Well, I suppose I have to get more research done or read more about the industry I'm in now.

First Day at Work

What can I say for working in a proper proper work. Well, I arrived at 8 a.m sharp to find the entire building empty. People here start work at 8 a.m. So, I waited for my manager to come in just to find out that he took half a day off to go for his kindergarten open day.

Taking the opportunity to go to town to do my work permit(which by the way, was screwed up. They sent it to Stavanger instead of Bergen. I knew this would happen.) Anyway, I just semi lost coming back because the bus heading back to my hotel was a different number all together. So, I was sent on a wild goose chase finding the right bus. Finally, I decided to call the hotel for directions and they told me the correct number.

Once again, I'm back in the office and my manager, Atle was in. He showed me around the building which was I think new. All the equipments looks new. All the rooms with light sensors. The most canggih thing is the table able to jack up or down. You could either sit or stand if you wish. Hehehe. The mouse was a joystick. Oh well, I suppose I have to get used to it.

So, now the software they are using to drill all of this stuff is outstanding. The simulation goes through a live data coming from the operation from the oil rigs somewhere out in the world. I need to know the software quite well to help out with their projects. Looks very interesting. But now I need to know all their jargon which has crazy with their abbreviations.

I think I can see this stuff in the future. Well, time to get my game on.

Anxious

Well, I suppose everyone will feel this feeling for starting something new especially starting a new job. This would be my real 'first' time working and yea just be confident about it. I just need a kick start for this new phase of my life.

Hej From Norway

Well, I'm back here again. Out to work this time. Just hate the weather it's just like a BAD day in UK. Why do I always miss the good weather back in London? Damn. It has been raining for the past 10 days here. Gsssssssssssssh.

It's Time

Well, in the next 13 hours I would be in a new country trying to be an engineer. Hahaha. I know it's a laugh but oh well, we shall see how this goes.

Wish me luck.

Surrey Day

Well, I planned to go down to see Shea Maine before we both head off to both sides of the world. It was a relaxing day where Shea Maine made 'Toad in the Hole' with Caesars Salad. Then we went to watch Transformers again. Yea I know. I'm obsessed with it. :P

The golf ball in Uni of Surrey.

Some random thingy. :)

Summer Is Finally Here

Finally, this is summer. The sky has a few clouds but at least it isn't raining. That's the most depressing thing you can have during summer. Even the production of summer fruits has becoming quite bad due to the extra rain. Oh well, I had to went out to do errands as usual before I head off to Norway.

p/s: No need pictures lah. Don't want to become like Siew Ping. :)

Breach

I'm have been extremely bored and wanted to watch as many shows before I head off to Norway. Anyway, this show okay okay lah. I mean it is all about espionage. Oh well, I get confused from time to time.

Realisation

Last night I had a dream. It was certainly very dark. All I remembered that I was back in VI and I had many premonitions about people's death and I was hunted down by the authorities. I woke up about 4 something and then went back to sleep. The dream continued me being caught and forced me to revealed my secret of my premonitions. People were still dying. Then, I was woken up again at 8 a.m by the sunlight. It blinded me and I hope I didn't get a tan too.

Well, that was certainly scary though I do at times have deva ju. It happened during my UPSR, meeting up with people, doing certain actions. This makes me whether I can dream about some lottery numbers yar. :D

Anyway, after waking up I just realised that whammmmm. I'm going to Norway soon and I will be all alone and will be starting work. I know I have been through it but now the stakes are higher than ever and I just have to go all out. I suppose I'm afraid to fail.

I haven't been in the right state and now I just feel like a grain of the sand in the ocean. Standing all alone by myself. I just miss my peeps. I really do.

The Nation's Favourite Food - Breakfast

It is the most important meal of the day. So here is the UK top national favourite food for breakfast after a survey.

Number 10 - Yogurt

The UK eat about 10 times than the weight of the Titanic a year. Well, I'm not too sure how much that is but it sounds a lot. But remember people, yogurt is bad for health because it has A LOT of sugar. We are not suppose to be eating any additional 'added' sugar in our daily diet.

Number 9 - Porridge

Well they don't mean rice porridge like Teo Chew Moi but oat porridge. Well, they seem to eat it with salt or sugar. Salt. Aiya.

Number 8 - Croissant

More than 1/3 UK people have it for breakfast and most of them are in Newcastle. Imperial Chocolate Croissants were good but now it is become so small. Well, I'm not there anymore.

Number 7 - Scamble Eggs

The amount of the UK people eat eggs a year can reach from Earth to the moon.

Number 6 - Bacon Sandwich

NO bacon sandwich with brown bread. Ming bai. Britians are the biggest eaters of bacon in Europe. I wouldn't surprised if the Americans are the world's largest eaters of bacon. :)

Number 5 - Fruits

No word rhymes with orange. And apples are better than coffee to wake up a person. Give it a try coffee lovers. :D

Number 4 - Coffee

Wake up with it or drink it. The first coffee shop in the UK was in the1650 . Coffee pushed tea out of the list of beverages in the morning.

Number 3 - Toast

Most Scots voted more than anyone. Marmalade i.e. orange jam is the only jam given a special name. Cool fact, huh?

Number 2 - Cereal

Food and liquid all in one. The brits eat the most in Europe about 4 million bowls everyday. Wheatbix at the top. No two cornflakes look the same. Is it?

Number 1 - Full English

It's the Daddy of all breakfast. Bacon, sausage, grilled tomato, fried bread, mushrooms, eggs, bake beans, black pudding. I totally agree with this. This makes me very happy.
