away

Some might think I have throw the towel and left. No updates for 2 weeks. I am actually away to a very remote location where only 74 of us on a 70meter x 20meter steel structure with 40 meter high. But necesity of life is sufficient here. Overflowing actually.
We had Sunday buffet yesterday; crab, prawn, BBQ fish & beef,all the best food here. Drinks, Coke, 100plus, dutch lady fresh milk (full cream & low diet) are all free to access. Hot straight from the oven pizza every Wednesday & Saturday noon tea time. We got laundry service, gym room and PS2 played on the cinema screen.
But all these luxury is on a gas reservoir. Gas being pump up to the surface though a conductor pipe, flowline straight to a contactor vessel(a tank). Separation process, again & again until at last being export to shore. But all this process is extreme dangerous and heavy work. Gas & condensate are highly flammable. All pipes & vessel are high pressure and can burst out form any of loosen flange or undercut welding. Life here are actually living by a thread here. Our work are always being interupted by now and then due to overpressure or passing (sipping gasses).
But on top of that being away from your love one does make it tough. I missed my family. Wonder what is asia & mother doing right now.. take care you two.. love & kisses..
