So long never update, so a quick one….
Wow, just discover that i hadn’t blog here for more than 2 months. So here’s some updates while i am on a rig in the middle of the sea at Songkhla, Thailand.
Well, in the late july, as blog presiously, my maternal grandmother passed away. It was kind of sudden that she passed away. She went to the hospital on friday for some other issues and then slipped into coma at the hospital. But she seems to recover and that’s why my mum didn’t let us know. But on Monday, her condition suddenly got worse and she didn’t wake up from coma after that. I was told on tuesday by my elder brother, so on wednesday, after work, i went to the hospital to visit her.
When i was there, her conditions detoriated and at 10+pm, she passed away peacefully without any struggle. Most of my uncles and aunties were there when she passed away. Next few days was the arrangement of her funeral at Singapore Casket at Lavender Street. She was cremated on Sunday. Her funeral was a christian funeral.
2 Days after my maternal grandmother funerals, it was my paternal grandmother’s lunar death anniversary. It was the 8th year since she had passed away. Times really flies. I went to Gu Si Lin to pray to her as well as the ancestor, for the lunar 7th month prayer, in the morning. Afternoon, i went to Bright Hill Monestry to pray at her ash urn, and also to pray to my 2nd Aunt.
Rest of August was kind of peaceful, without any overseas travel work. I bought new computer parts to build a new computer and also to upgrade the current one to run as a server. Will blog another time for the building of the PC.
I started to travel overseas for work during Mid September. This time is to a rig off Melbourne. It was the end of winter there, but the weather is freaking cold and with the wind coming in, it really chill big time. Wind were strong while i was there, and when coming back. This caused the Helicopter ride back to be very choppy and uncomfortable.
After i came back to Singapore from Melbourne, few days later, i was off to a new rig in Songkhla, Thailand. It wasn’t a easy trip, as the fishermen around there are protesting and demanding compensation from the oil company, Nucoastal, which this rig is drilling for. Boat ferry were delay and was at one time, divert to go to Surat Thani. That is a 12hr boat ride which goes further north.
Currently, things seems to go back to normal situation. Hopefully, it stays that way till i got off the rig. Which i also dunno when….. hopefully by this weekend. I am starting to miss Singapore food liao…
ok, so long for now….
