15th of May

"Today is a bad day for me"

What had happened????

I worked night shift on 15th of May. After i had my meal around 1130pm, my stomach started not feeling well. I thought may be the the food was spicy, so my stomach can’t stand for it…Will be all right later….

After one minute, i vomitted. Within that night, i vomitted for five times….OMG……

After back from work, i quickily took the medicine "Teck Onn". Then went to sleep. ……..

On 16th night, i went to work since i felt better after a rest. OMG, vomitted again once i reached the plant. End up, my counterpart took me to hospital to have a check up. Luckily the condition was not bad enough until warded. But the doctor requested me to have a rest in hotel……

During that time, can’t drink much and eat much…..Some more need to request some one to help me to get the bread……At that moment, i wish i can go home but unfortunately i can’t…

Thanks God, after two days fully rest. My condition become better…

P/S : Please appreaciate your family because when you are alone in some where, the support from your parents are very important especially when you are facing difficulties.

Shopping…..

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Basically, i don’t like shopping. Especially the window shopping….

But during this trip, i went to almost 10 of the shopping mall. Some of the shopping mall i even visit more than three times…..What actually attracttedme……

Now, let me show you one by one…

1). Delta Plaza - Actually this shopping mall is just beside my hotel. So, naturally this plaza will be the place i search for my meals. Although Dim Sum here not as good as Malaysia, but better than non lah….

2). Tunjungan Plaza - this is the third nearest shopping mall from my hotel. This plaza included Matahari Departmental (like Parkson) and SOGO. But i prefer Matahari because the price is cheaper than SOGO. Every weekend got extra discount…..Great!!!

3). Galaxy Mall - This is one of the biggest shopping mall in Surabaya. Before enter the shopping mall, there are few security stand by at the entrance to have the security check.

4). Tunjungan Electronic Plaza - i think you can guess from the name of the plaza that what actually the items sell in this plaza. Yesyes…..electronic items such as watch, handphone, PS, VCD, MP3, PC and etc…

5). Jabatan Merah Plaza - This plaza sell the Malay clothes……

6). PTC - This mall located at the bother of Surabaya. Huge mall……

7). World Trade Centre - This centre just opposite to my hotel. Basically, this centre majority sell handphone…..

8). Mirotha - Basically many tradisonal items can get here such as batik, handicraft, sourveniers and etc. Even you can get the Java tea, Java coffee here….

P/S : I bought three Levi’s Jeans…………..

Sapi………….

You know what is this? Beef…..:(

"I don’t take beef lah…".

BUt, I did enjoy some of the food in Surabaya…..

1st of May was my first night shift here. I think this was my first time work at night after i resigned from my previous company. Quite excited too….Luckily, nothing major happened on that night. I continuously worked in hight shift for next three day until 4th of May. Yeah…..my "libur" day came.

Before 4th of May, me and another counterpart already planned to have a trip to Malang. Actually, when i first heard about this name, i was shocked because in bahasa, Malang —-> BAD LUCK.

On the way, we dropped by a place in Sidoerjo. This place actually was a good place two years ago until the tradegy happened —> Lumpur Lapindo. See the picture below:

According to the residents, actually this happened because of the O&G company did not followed the Drilling procedure properly and caused this tragedy happened….. SAD..

After that, we had our lunch at Pak Gundul. This is one of the famous restaurant to eat the Kepeting (Crab). Yummee……..

After our lunch, we continue our journey to Malang. On the way, i saw a lot of shop along the roadside. The road become narrower. And i felt cold. The driver told me that we were on the way to up the hill. Ohh……No wonder felt cold…Along the path, i saw a lot of vegetables, tea, and APPLE…….

After a while, we reached a APPLE farm….Walaoye, first time see the apple farm. So great……

I reached Juanda Airport, Surabaya on 29 of April around 7pm(local time). In the plane, a women sit beside me asked me the purpose to Indonesia. She asked me in Mandarin. I answered that i am in the business trip to Gresik. Then, she passed me her handphone and request me to give her my handphone number. Then she claimed that she can bring me to walk around the Surabaya if i wish too. Then i inserted my number and passed back to her. She then ask me i am still single or married. Actually i just smile at her. And she said she can introduce me her daughther to me. OMG……..i just smile :)

30th of April was my first day in Gresik Plant. I met my counterpart and have a site induction. Then i started to set up my laptop here. Get the PPE and started my work…… Thanks god, almost 730pm. i started to complete my report and sent out. After that, I had my dinner in one restaurant called IKAN BAKAR CIANJUR with my counterpart. Nice Ikan Bakar…….. :).
