Earplug

Several days ago, still in the ENSCO-108 rig Papua, we had a morning meeting in the conference room. After the Well Site Leader explained several main issues that we should know, the round table update began. Drilling engineers, ENCSO HSE, and other contractors updated their current status and activity. Finally, it's Halliburton's turn, represented by a US expat. He said, "I have no significant update Sir. But I have one question, do you have smaller size of earplug ? It doesn't fit in my ears." The well site leader replied," It's a standard size." Halliburton guy said again, "Even I've squezzed the earplug and still cannot fit." Well site leader answered," What's your condom's size?" Ting tong....

He..Yamko Rambe Yamko..

In this last two weeks, it's a tedious adventure for me since I should work in an offshore rig in Papua, ENSCO 108. Even last week I consider it as "hell" because of the high pressure and difficult situation. My main objective here is to enable telecommunication from the rig to the outer world. You think it's simple? Hell no!! Working here it's very different than in the Arkadia office Jakarta. I met many expat with their annoying and harsh attitude. I can't remember how many times they said f*ck, sh*t, a**ho** to me. Boy..it's really difficult. They don't care with our problem except theirs. In the beginning it was very hard to accept that condition. But in the next few days I was getting used to it :D Even I feel stronger and tougher now. Dasar bule kampung semua :P Ga berpendidikan semua :D

After two weeks of hard and exhaustive work, tomorrow I'll be back to Jakarta. But it's not simple as that to go back to Jakarta. From the rig to Babo I've to use boat, from Babo to Biak by small plane and finally from Biak to Jakarta 4 hours flight with Garuda Indonesia..phew.. Fortunately, I get one week off duty, and definitely I will go straight to Salatiga. I want to see my mom. I really miss her..The first thing I want to do is to get someone fix TV antenna in my house! Wait for me mom, we'll watch TV together soon :-)

Finally, the storm almost over. Thank God.
