Salam w.b.t and
hello everyone,
How are you guys
doing?
Since I got back
from holiday, I haven't gone to any rig. Mostly because of many jobs being
delayed as well as I will attend another school this weekend. This, by far the
longest time I ever spent in Doha. I went to the base, and try to learn as much
as I can from there. There are checklists of the things I need to complete
before being promoted. Regardless, it is still far from being completed.
It is quite boring
here in Qatar. Work. And. Alone.
I went out with
other folks from time to time, had a good time. It was alright.
I try to set my mind
on the idea of settling down in Qatar. I mean, to set my mind at peace that I
will be here in Qatar. So, I need to settle down. Settle down here means, treat
the place I stay here like a home.
See, the place I
stay is called Ezdan Hotel. Basically, it is a Schlumberger staff house.
However, I don’t feel very comfortable staying here at Ezdan. Because it is a
HOTEL. Not an apartment, or house. Also, it is right in the city center.
Everything is
squeezed in this big white cube. There is a common area outside, where you can
cook. It is shared with others. Well, the others here are my colleagues, the
girls. Most of the time, they are at the rigs, same like me. If I want to go
out for cooking, washing your dishes, or heat some water, I will need to wear
hoodies or scarves.
And, here I don’t
really have much privacy. The hotel's housekeeper will knock the door to clean,
calls from receptions etc. Also, I live next to other SLB staffs, and this
level also has SLB staffs.
This situation makes
my life wrap with SLB - SLB - SLB. I don’t know. I am thinking to rent a place
outside and far from the city.
Anyways, I am still
adjusting and, I am gonna say that this time it is going to take a while
compared to other places.
Alright, I will
write again later.
Take care and Salam
w.b.t.
