It's being a while...in Miri (Part 1)

I have totally forgotten about this blogs that I created.

Where should I start? When I look at the title I gave this blog, I felt I have abandoned it until recently. Lots of stuff have happened to me that I felt most people will not be able to handle. It's not that I am extraordinary, I do ask GOD at times why am I going through all this??

How to write again after 2 years gap?? Let me think...

I was still in Miri in 2007. I was transfered there from my lovely small little town called Sitiawan eventhough before this new found job, I was living in Seremban for the past 3 years (2003-2006)

How do I feel in Miri? It was really "stressful". I was not allowed to go back home when I was having my offdays. I have nothing to do when I was there.

So, what's my past time? I was lepaking in office (chitchat wit Judy or anyone who is free), going over to Bintang Plaza 4 a walk or drinking chocolate while reading a book, going to Boulevard to have Japanese food and not forgetting I frequently visit a kedai makan (near Court Mammoth) for its nasi goreng. Life is really bored there.

I rent a old bungalow with 5 of my colleagues. A bungalow with coconut trees and mango trees in the garden, 6 rooms ( I took the master room, having a bathroom to myself!!). But sadly, most of the time, only one of us at home as others are offshore. sigh...

I remember one day, climbing the mango tree to pluck some mango. Got some lax stucked to my arms. I have bad skin allergic for few weeks on the rig. It was most uncomfortable time!!

I met some nice people in SIB Canada Hill, Miri. I didn't really keep in touch with any of them now except for Michelle. I think they also forgotten me liao.

But it was a time I drew closer to GOD. I prayed hard 2 go back home. I was also pondering about my future. Am I going to settle down in Miri? Met some people on the rig that left West Malaysia and settling down in Miri now..I jus dont have the peace..I dont want to stay there for the rest of my life...
