quite a hectic weekend i must say....

juz got back home. it already 5 pm?? time really moves fast when u are working. i dunno to whom i might voice out. its not that i'm not satisfied with my work. i juz need some medium or a place that i could tell my stories. of course it is down right boring to the bones, that is why i didn't want anyone to know. so this blog gonna be my secret place, a place or serinity and tranquility for me to write, to rant, to scream about my life. i'm laying out my entire livelyhood here.
so....the story goes like this...
today is friday. it is suppose to be a weekend for us working at east coast of this country. but somehow i got a call at 6 AM urging me to come to the plant.. ok basically, when such important call early in the morning means something wrong with my plant operation. as predicted, there is a total plant shutdown due to suddent dip of power supply from TNB. the emergency generator refuses to start, so resulting in the plant total shutdown. if u were wondering what the heck i'm talking about, let me explain in a more precise and detail way.ok?
my plant is basically a Terminal. by the word Terminal means it receives crude oil from offshore platforms. so almost all the crude oil from platforms in the South China Sea will go straight into the pipeline routing to my terminal. when the terminal shuts, all the producing platform at offshore also must be shut down because they didn't have any form of storage to store the crude pumping out from the well. all the crude pumped out will flow into the pipeline and to terminal. so if something wrong with the terminal, all the platforms offshore must be shut down. interesting isn't it?
now back to my story...yesterday i came home at 7:20 pm after finishing the work which increases everyday. at 8 pm i still got a meeting to attend so after washing up, i went to office for the meeting without any rest. the meeting prolonged until 2 am. when i came back, all the energy has been sucked out dry from my body. i sleep like a baby until 6 am when the office called because of the total terminal shutdown. after only 3 plus hours of sleeping, i went straight into the bath, then to office.
troubleshooting of the equipment took almost all morning until we finally could get the terminal back online. but still, i must stay to finish the report regarding the total shutdown. now here i am, after running around like mad, i think i deserve a good rest this weekend. rite?
i'm writing here not to brag. and i know my working life here is nothing compared to others. but this is my sacret place. i will write about my life, i will pour all my heart and that basically who i am.....
