First Assigment in Saudi Arabia, Sinopec 189

..:: First Assigment in Saudi Arabia, Sinopec 189 ::..

24th September 2009. My last day in Rig Sinopec 189. My first assignment since I join Schlumberger. First Job, first time celebrating Eid Fitri in the field.




Life full of challenges. Many people adore SLB, dream company or the best company to join. It is not easy to join and once you in d company it is no relaxing time. You need to pass lots of stages before you can join. Wait for a long time before you officially in the company and lots other challenge. Your starting date might be delay 3 days before you start, reassign segment or location and lots other challenges. BUT, if you are those people who seek for challenge, this company is just right for you.


Once you officially on the company, do you think your life gonna be easier? Full of luxuries, lots of money? It is not that easy. As for me, I am sort of nerd, not a sport man and my segment is one of the toughest segment in SLB, WELL TESTING. Should I give up now? The answer is big 'NO'. PERSEVERENCE, never giving up. I need to sharpen my intellectual to adapt all the technical stuffs, be strong mentally to adapt to harsh location, new environment and people and last but not least, I need to be physically strong to coop with the demand of the work.

What can I do? Stop complaining and just do my work. Work hard, keep asking and stay positive. Look at the bright side, positive part and endless possibilities. Avoid negative thinking and start taking control of your life. After that, you will find happiness in your life. Whatever you do, do it full heartedly, give the best of your effort. Live life to the fullest. You gonna live this life once only.


Salam Eid from the desert, Sinopec 189, Saudi Arabia. Looking forward for the next assignment.

OFS-1, Abud Dhabi (28th August - 7th September)

..:: OFS-1, Abu Dhabi (28/08/2009-07/09/09) ::..

7th September 2009. OFS-1 (Introduction for new fresh engineer) just ended. There are around 80++ participants consist of 22nationalities including people from Malaysia, Indonesia, China, India, Thailand, Myanmar, Mexico, Australia, US, Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Japan, Ecuador, Syria, Oman, Pakistan, Russia, Kazakhstan, Brazil and other two (can't recall).

The course was very fun except for long lectures part. Met new people, new environment and the most interesting part is the diversity of the culture. Only 5 of us in Well Testing Segment including me. Most of it are Wireline rangers. I will go to the location tomorrow morning while the others stay for school or back to location for pre-school.

Pic2: Georgina, Khairul n me (Malaysian)

I felt like back home to my internship place, Sudan where the climate is very hot and humidity is low. I will get use of it (HAVE to). Surprisingly, I could find all interesting food (gonna gain weight) such as Starbuck, Baskin, Subway, Mc'D, Chillis and Malaysian food as well like Tom Yam, Nasi Bryani and Kurma. Could find Carefore and Ali Cafe(manufactured in Pasir Gudang) as well.

For the first lecture, I lost. Need to keep up with different accent and technical lectures. The task is to jog down the year and the history of development and I only write half of the page while the others could jog down like 3 pages.lol~. It's gonna be tough and I need to get my spirit to start new life, new career. This is what I waiting for almost a year ++. Hopefully, I still can enjoy Facebooking and doing my favorites things.

Eventually, at the end of the day, we need to take commentary driving test and I PASS (Hafiz Hashim gonna hate me for this).......lol, actually just a lucky bastard since the instructor is kind enough. It was a new experience for me to drive at the right side of the road. But yet, no point pass or not since we are not allowed to drive until break out and need to take the test again at the location.

Bad news is my school might be in Abu Dhabi since they shift school in France to here. Will update about it soon. Hehe. Need to pack up my things and explore new life in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia.

p/s: Things to do: Desert Safari, Hot Baloon Safari, Watch Wild Animal and lots more........ Nervous to start new life but will face it after all. Al-Khobar, here I come.

YA ALLAH..... show me the way.... path of my life

YA ALLAH..... show me the way.... path of my life

Long time didnt do blogging, I am still not settling down. huh (sigh~). I waited 1 Year already for my dream compny, apparently I need 2 wait another 2 months. I just not sure either this company is meant for me or not. YA ALLAh, show me the way.

2day I been to Exxon interview for drilling position which consist of 3 part.

• PART 1: one-to-one session with 4 different panels.
• PART 2: Individual Test
• PART 3: Group Discussion

Sadly... =( I kind of not sure my performance 4 this interview. There are 6 candidates and they only looking forward to hire 1 person. Kind of tough experience. I guess I did OK for one-to-one session.

NOT OK for individual test where I mess up Drilling Question such as, Hydrostatic pressure, Different between Total Depth & Measured Dept, Casing Bursting Scenario and some several definition. GOTCH... How do I know this type of question will come out.hehehe. (Moral Value: Always prepared 4 interview no matter how good you are...do ur homework)

PART 3 kind of weird too. The discussion is about Selection of Drilling Bit prior to given Well Condition and several other information. I did try my best but somehow only 1 person has to present and other guy present (Huh~).......... I dont know how I did..... 

Kind of scary to wait for the result........Oh MY GOD...... Show me the way.... I need to settle down faster............

=D
