you, me, we

Salam.

My friend and I started our Euro Trip from Paris, then to Nancy (pronounced Non-see), France by Eurail. My primary schoolmate, Amirah is studying in Nancy for her pHd, so visiting her and family is a reason why I reach there. It always feel good to meet another Malaysian in foreign country, much more so if he or she is your own friend.

Back on the ranch, Nancy, like any other city in France preserved its old building. It seems the buildings exterior remains untouched, but only the inside is being renovated. I’m amazed by how thoughtful appreciative the French are of the works of their older generations.

Amirah lived across her university lab. My visit to her place was very short, only for a night. It’s a pity I didn’t get a chance to walk around her university and have a look on her lab work.

Well, maybe next time? 🙂

I’ll upload some of the pictures around Nancy later.

Till next post, ciao!

Salam.

And hi all.

I was being advised by some people to write about my travelling experience. It’s a great idea, really. It means I need to really drag my mind and my fingers to focus on writing a blog post, which ironically was my favourite past time.

2015 is a year of travelling, at least for me. I visited some Asian countries as well as European. It was such a great experience, and I wouldn’t regret for anything.

So here’s the plan. I will write in batches.

Please pray for my consistency, pretty please.

Til next post peeps!

Salam and helloooo dear bloggie..

It’s been a while huh? I will update you more often.. seems like lots of people came visiting for the Shell phone interview tips. I will share some more interview tips, inshallah.

And I will share my traveling experience. 2015 is the year of travelling, I’ve travelled to China, Thailand, and a few European countries such as France, Swiss, Austria, Croatia, Bosnia and Turkey.

And maybe.. I’ll share some of baking tips too! I’m not a good chef though, but I do enjoy baking cakes and cookies for friends and families.

And definitely some career experience, if anyone interested.. haha. I’m still an engineer by profession, working for the Big Blue. Currently having project with Samarang IO, working for two of its workflow. I’ll share more on later.

Till the next post… ciao ciao!

Salam.

I’ve always love dusk over dawn.

I love the color that is poured over the sky at dusk. At times its purplish pink, sometimes is golden orange..the mixture of all the colors blend in so well and perfect..

Subhanallah.

Beautiful beyond words.

Dusk always bring some nostalgic memories. It always gives me mixed emotions about what has happened in my life, the events that makes me, me. Its like the best time to reminisce over the past, and take note on the lessons learn, and after all to feel grateful to the Lord of the Universe for everything that He has given me.

He has carved a beautiful path for me, a path that nobody else would go through but me.

*smiles*

I pray for a more productive life ahead, and may it be the best of mixed colors ever 🙂

May my path is the path that is going towards Jannah. Guide me, guide us all dear Lord.

Make us see all Your signs..

Salam.

Moving forward, I wonder which path should I take?

Technical, or sales?

If I were to choose technical, which path should I then focus on?

Reservoir, or production?

I kinda fancy becoming a consultant in Reservoir Simulation, but come to think of it, a good RE is the one who has surveillance experience, of which can help making a sound judgement on the reservoir model.

If I’m focusing on Production, I will lose half of the core in Petroleum Engineering side, which are the reservoir.

Or should I just take both?

I see Integrated Asset Modeler as the best option.

Dare to take the challenge?

*thinking.. and thinking*

life is too good here.. i dont want to go home.

i dont want to go to places that reminds me of the wound i once had.

but people say, we have to face our biggest fear.

i would say, i’m not ready to face it just yet.

being me.. i love to stay away from it. it’s not that i’m hiding myself. i prefer to erase every memory that relates to it. as if it never happened. to live life anew.

for i hate that pain.

well, it’s all are in the past. i shall not look back. i learn from my mistakes.

i can picture myself alone in the calm ocean. its almost dusk, tangerine sky.

i’m now at peace. thank you dear Lord.

i shall continue this journey. i’m ok to be all bymyself. i’m all good.

for i know i’m never alone. You are always there to guide me, to guard me.

all i ask for is to always be near You, for in Your hands are my soul lies. You are my air to breath. You are my everything.

You are all that matters for me now. You, and only You.

I’m detaching myself from anything that is unnecessary. For that I’m sorry, people.

and I still wish I could stay..

I should be sleeping by now.. but I wanted to read some slides for tomorrow’s test.

On another note, Germany won over Brazil with 7-1. It’s unbelievable, a total humiliation for the host country of FIFA World Cup 2014.

It’s a day to remember..

Salam.

I couldn’t help but believe that….there are things that we have now is the one that we badly wants and wish for sometimes in the past.

There are things that I regret doing.. I regret for not really focusing on learning by heart when I was pursuing my Masters Degree. I was distracted by something else that I’m attached to, unintentionally. I feel so bad, though I finally managed to finished my studies, the satisfaction wasn’t there.

I ask Allah to give me another chance to re-learn all Petroleum Engineering subjects. I ask Allah to give me chances to seek knowledge from the experts in this field. I wish to re-do my Msc.

Little did I know that my presence in Houston now for SLB Step-1 School is an answer to my prayer I did sometime a year ago.

I get to learn from basic. I met lots of experts in this field. And I learn something more, which is the software that supports related subjects on Reservoir and Engineering.

Thank you oh Allah, you are so Merciful..And listen to me the most..

Salam.

Dear blog, its been a while..

Cliche.. I know..

It’s been a week I’m in Houston, Texas, USA for training school. Every Schlumberger employee that undergo the 3 years fixed step training has to attend one training a year. Alhamdulillah I was selected to attend it here, to a country I never dream of setting my foot in. Alhamdulillah everything is just great. The weather is somewhat like Malaysia, but less humid. It’s summer and the day is longer, but as Texas located at the south, the daylight is only for 16 hours, not as long as those in the upper side of the country that is away from the equatorial line. People keep asking of how am I going to fast in such long and hot day? I have no answer for it. I will know when the time comes. 

Alhamdulillah I had a bunch of cool people in the same class I attended. Altogether are 12 students from different countries, and different work location. Some are French but working in UK, a Pakistani working in Norway, but all of us are either Production Engineer or Reservoir Engineer. This is the beauty of Schlumberger, we can mingle among people with the same minds from different location. . It’s so much fun being among them, and getting to know one another. Most of my friends can speak more than two languages, there’s an Algerian who speak French an Arabic, a French that speaks Portugese and Spanish It’s so true of what Allah said in the Holy Qur’an, men are created in different races and languages, so we can get to know each other. And there are so much to learn from each and everyone, subhanallah!

Life is beautiful. Beautiful in its own sense. It’s so full of colors. And it’s up to us what colors we wish to see. 

And I see it as a rainbow 🙂

To be continued.. in quest of writing everyday to improve communication. 

Salam.

“Speak the good or keep quiet”

Hence, I’m trying my best to manifest this by:

1. Reserve my comments and critics on others

2. Avoid being Ms Know-It-All

3. Never tell lies

4. Listen without interrupt. Let people finish their say.

Inshallah, by His help I can change to be better 🙂
