Quick Life Update 8



Salam w.b.t and hello folks.


How are you guys doing? I am doing great. I has been an insane week. I just got back from Malaysia last Sunday, and get back straight to work on Monday. I know I can take a day off just to relieve my jet lag, but I did not.

I would say, the week was crazy. I was helping the folks at work and stay back until midnight just to get things done. I do not get paid for overtime, but I will take my time back. Also, it does not feel right to leave your team behind.

Anyway, this is my quick entry, Quick Life Update 8. 8??!!! What! I don’t get a chance to write properly on things. That’s fine. Ok, here is the update.

1.      I have received update on my Technical Training. Yeay! I will try my best to prepare and hopefully will pass with flying colours, InsyaAllah.

2.      I passed my UK driving theory test on Thursday. The next step is to take practical driving test before I can get Full UK Driving License. At the moment, I will use my Malaysian Driving License.

3.      I bought a car yesterday. A second hand car, Kia Picanto. I need to travel to different bases and run errands. My colleague can pick me up in the morning and give me a lift to home, but I think, "That’s it. I don’t want to trouble him anymore". I need to learn to organise myself, although I am a bit nervous to drive here.


My new car. I haven't give it a name yet. Any suggestion? :D

4.      I spent money quite a lot  for the past two days as I just bought a car. I paid for insurance, road tax, council tax bill, gas & electric bill, etc.. Insurance is quite expensive as I am using Malaysian Driving License. I think I will create one special entry on how to get the UK Driving License together with some advices. One thing I regret is, I should have start applying for UK Driving License as soon as I arrived here in Aberdeen. Well, no use of dwelling the past.

5.      Time flies fast. Really fast, I am telling you. Today is the last day of July already. Oohhh…


6.      Hopefully I will get a chance to go offshore soon.


What else…. I think that’s it for now. I will try my best to keep this blog alive, InsyaAllah.


Alright folks. That’s me. Take care and see you guys in the next entry.


Salam w.b.t and chow.


P/S - Next week will be 'fantastic'. Pheww..


See you at the next pit stop
