this is the place i share my thots...
this is the place i let others know how wonderful life is :)
confirmed, this sunday is first syawal. yes! have been expecting that. i hope that is the same in Brunei.
about current happening
good news, ramadhan's barakah, i got job offer from schlumberger, as field engineer. Alhamdullillah. after raya gotta go for medical check-up. plus, got one prob.. ehehe i need to get the driving license. but the slb personel told me not to concern about that thing just yet. just settle the medical check up first.
about the interview
firstlt, i was nervous.. sooooo nervous.
oh ya, last week, i was in Miri, flight from KL 7.45pm, reach Miri about 11pm, n ride the cab with 2 more schlumberger engineers to Golden Palace Hotel. Jack was quite chatty. i got the exec room, yippee.. all by myself, most prob coz they booked me the room last minute. so as for my sahur, i just called for room service, as i dun have the heart to go for sahur alone at 4plus at the hotel' restaurant.
the interview was good.. indeed great! in the morning, we spent time getting to know schlumberger, plus the job description by the engineers. before the session, we got the oppurtunity to mingle with some of the engineers, so i got engaged with one of them, Scott. it was good and exciting to hear the first hand experience. slb sure serious about career development. got many training. it will be good.
after the intro, we spent about 1hour plus on group project, building up platform, out of 100 pieces of A4 papers! hahah i've never build such construction. that platform should be with the height of 1.5m, where 8 C-size batteries were supposed to put on the platform, as the test for the stability, and the construction itself. we were so lucky that we managed to withstand three of the batts. my group was of four people, Diana, from Kuching, whom i like, and other two guys. three of us were from EE background, and only one other guy was diploma holder in Mechi. but that not supposed to be the reason our platform collapsed after the forth battery placed on the platform. but i guess, they actually wanna observe the individual capability of working, more than designing.
about kuih raya
hmmm i tot this year there would be less kuih raya that we were gonna bake, but end up with about 8 types of yummy kuih raya, including traditional ones, putu and agar2 kering. just now, was busy preparing the mix for chocolate cake, will be baking it tomorrow morning.
about raya
i do feel that as i grow more 'mature', i am not very interesting about the material raya anymore. but i tend to reflecting the philosophy more... which is about the cleansing of the person, with the fasting, n muhasabah... but i felt like i failed that. i dunno why but i felt like my heart was somewhat harden lately, most probably due to the turbulances faced previous. i dun wan to feel that. i used to face so many stuff, and yet i still was soft, but this time it is different... i hope Allah will give me the chance to find the innerpeace, the content feeling.. once again... like i used to devour...
