It is me, again.

Salam w.b.t and hey guys,

Apa khabar?

How are you guys doing? All good?

First off, Selamat Hari Raya and Eid Mubarak. I hope you all have a good time with your beloved ones.

How am I doing? It is ok. I spent my whole Ramadhan at the rig and Eid celebration there. I got off the rig last Wednesday after 26 days there. Video taken in the morning of Eid, while I am doing nothing in the unit - Just standby.

Today is my second day in town :)

Yesterday, I went out and spend some ME-time. I went to Doha Festival City, it is a shopping mall actually. I left the apartment around 11AM and came back around 6PM. I watched the Jurassic World, go for shopping, and eat.

The Jurassic World - not that bad actually. When I went there to buy a ticket, I thought there will be a standard seat. Basically, this standard ticket will be around QR30 to QR40. Then, the cashier said well, we only have this VIP and it was QR90. Hurmm…quite expensive. I don’t want to cancel this, so OK.

I would prefer to watch the movie in cinema during odd hours, like working days in the afternoon. So, the seats will be empty on the left and right. Not many noises or phones. However, still some Arabic people being a jerk not silent their phones.

Anyway, I watched the movie and I had a good laugh actually, maybe the Star Lord in there. The cinematic of the movie is awesome and the sound in the theater, DOLBY-ATMOS. Not that bad.

 



Owen and Blue. Cute when small, not too cute when big :p

Then after, I went for window shopping. At least good thing is, there are bookshops in this mall. I googled any malls that have bookshops in it, and this Festival City have it. It is hard to see bookshops here in Qatar, unlike in Aberdeen. If you walk at the shopping lots in Aberdeen or any streets, there will be at least one or two bookshops. The used books, brand new books, writer visit the city, meeting sessions, etc. So, you will have variety of choices to get the book.

Here in Doha, hardly to see one. In City center mall, only small stationery shop and one give card shop. No actual bookstores. Regardless, I went to this bookshop yesterday and I bought this book - Wonder.

 

QR50 yuolls.

I haven't watch the movie yet, so I buy this book. It is been a while I actually buy any book myself. Normally, I will ask my sisters to buy them on behalf of me. "Wonder", it is a good start to read, I don’t want to start with heavy contain books. I want to bring this book to the rig and read it before I sleep. Then, if I manage to finish this, then I will buy another one.

I have been reading less and less book, especially when I am in Doha. I need to improve it. At home, I can finish three 1000pages books in one week. No problem at all.

For food, not that interesting. There are no good restaurants in that mall. Good restaurant for me is like, Spicy food - rice and welcoming. I just went to the food court and eat Rice with Kung Pao chicken. Not tasty, but I was hungry. So, just eat it to fill my stomach. Then, I went to Starbuck get some Frape.

Since I am not planning to come back to this mall, I decided to explore the whole mall. From top to bottom, one end to another. Not many people yet around 4 o'clock, so was good to have a look around. It has two levels only, but it is long. Actually towards, around 4.30pm, I already sleepy. Mind you, I did night shift at the rig for nearly 4 weeks. Thus, I was still adjusting my sleeping time back to normal. It is like a jetlag, and you cannot fix it for just one night. For me, it will normally take 3-4 days to adjust to normal sleeping time. Night to sleep, day to awake.  

So yesterday, I had to drag both my legs to finish the tour in the shopping mall. I know I will be very, very sleepy but I had to fight my sleepiness. At 5PM, I was really struggling, but managed to finish the walk. Around 5.30PM, I took a taxi and straight away went back to my apartment.

Then, straight away sleep until 5AM this morning.

This morning, I did laundry and just chillout. Ah! I forgot to tell you. I will be going to another rig tomorrow, informed about this yesterday morning. I told the person in charge, I just got back from the rig. I thought I will have couple of days in town, just relax. Basically, need to put back all the shites into my offshore bag. They have to send one MWD to relieve this engineer since she already more than 28 days. Same reason I get off from the previous rig, as the client does not allow to stay more than 28 days per hitch. Now, I need to go to another rig to relieve this engineer.

Honestly, I feel tired. Not about job, I think I already feel bored with this kind of cycle.

Wait for job, go for a job, come back from the a job, and wait for a job. The cycle goes on and on. For me, it is already start become a routine.

It is dull.

I know I just got back from a vacation one month ago. However, this is no longer about vacation or so.

I don’t feel happy. I am no longer feel happy with what is going on with me.

Well, I will talk about this but not now.

I think that’s it for now. I don’t have anything particular to share actually. I just write and write.

Take care guys and see you next time.

Salam w.b.t and see you.

P/S - Nothing.
