sicking the sea

oh yeah, so my offshore days are over.

90 hours of totally unforgettable experience, puke-y sensations, sway-ey grounds, wah-lah cheesecakes (!!), buffet buffets, sunshine, more sunshine, most sunshine, shower-less moments, cabin sleep and boat-ey thingees. 

just like doggie, just like doggie when he doesnt get his biscuits:

so lazy bah his face? cant wait to see him when i get back later! rawr! im so going to pull his tongue out and roll it like sushi! :P 

so yeah, 45 minutes of chopper ride. quote and unquote my work mate:

"feels like donald trump huh?"

yeah thats a sikorsky something something. so, my donald trump moment.. was kind of normal lah. just picture wearing earmuffs, loud engine roaring, shaky metal compartments, cushy seats, and of course, VERY beautiful view of that very small fragment of the world. :) melts everyone's heart, me guesses. the helly flew past clouds and i was naughty enough to stuck my fingers out and touch them! haha. i know, stupid but ghairah mah! :P touching clouds wor, how often can you do that? :P

these are my crazy but VERY helpful and understanding work mates. ;) and thats our VERY shaky boat. seriously! its called smit nicobar (yeah what kind of name right) and its from portsmouth. our stay there was like:

mommy rain didnt want to let us go work and thus she made loads of juice and papa wind too got a nasty cold and was sneezing like mad.

so we swayed and swayed 24 hours a day, rolled and rolled when asleep, and puke and puke after dinner. @.@

so we practically 'flew' to the rig via a transfer basket.

the transfer basket was quite cool lah really, but due to bad weather, we actually waited from 0530 all the way till 1200 to get a green light transfer once.
