Oil and Gas engineering

Returned home a bit late. Rushed to complete key items because I’ll be out the rest of the week.

I am beginning to think that it’s time to diversify on what I do at work. I can’t be specializing on Control Systems all the way. It’s good to be skilled at something. But I would also like to know the other different intricacies of the oil & gas business. Perhaps the reservoir management of it all. Or the marketing of gas. How do the royal turbo-machines function together on generating power or compressing  gas for sales? How do I optimize the gas-lifting? What is the correct metering methodology at different process functions? How do I control the flaring? Is there an alternative to it? What is the optimal offshore oil & gas processing facilities? What about onshore?

How do I make my operations more efficient? Leaner process? Simpler to maintain? Easier to monitor?

And so on. You get the idea.

iPhone software update

I upgraded my iPhone software to 3.X.

Awesome features!

A sluggish Monday

A little bit exhausted from yesterday. Sore muscles. I couldn’t really concentrate much. Instead of working on something that required focus, I went about interacting and aligning myself with others. Obviously people are more interesting than machines or figures.

And it just so happened that a few had dropped by my office to juggle their thoughts and ask for opinions anyway. I am not an advisor, actually. So I was giving opinions rather than advice. I’ll see in several days if those opinions would turn out as advice or not.

Exercise day

Apparently, Ashbi had manifested a new sense of public appearance that we went ahead and mocked him. Even Adik searched for himself a pair of glasses to do so.

Much later in the evening, we played basketball at the public court within UKM. Alya, KNgah, AbgNgah, CB, Ashbi, Adik and I were there just a little bit earlier than Muzani & Niza.

Afifah was so happily running around in open space, I managed to snap a picture of her with both feet off the ground. Or her left front was still touching it?

Enticing Afifah to bounce the ball.

I worked out quite a lot on top of the 45 minutes jog earlier in the morning and at the end of the day, this is what I’m getting:

A pair of worn out Adidas shoes. Look at the bottom. This soon? I’m changing brands.

Streamyx package price

I was browsing through TMNet website on what else can Streamyx offer:

Whoever takes the RM188 for 2Mbps download speed is an idiot.

Maxis broadband malfunctions

Maxis broadband is hell today. I am a customer and I have a say.

The IP is there. There is a connection. The modem is transmitting out, requesting data.

But there is just no data coming in.

I hope they will improve tomorrow.

Erection in progress

We should communicate openly and honestly. Example:

LOL.

Melbourne Sungai Merab teleconference

Dad departed early in the morning to take his CheGu around Terengganu to see the schools that his CheGu had initiated as State Education Director back in the days. It’s like he’s bringing the only dad he has now for a tour. Other than that, the Nasi Ayam lunch was pretty special.  ”Kenny Rogers” dinner was awesome too…

Later in the evening, I set up a teleconference between my wife and our little nieces and nephew. She had missed them so much.

Superior plate number

I would gladly use this plate number:

MAT 1

Hey, at least it has my surname. And it’s a good reminder too.
