RENOVATIO

yum yum~ managed to get some dates just for munching~ really sweet for a small litte fruit. I think i over estimated a bit. 1 kg of dates DO NOT get finished easily.. haha

went to Bahrain slightly more than a week ago.. had a good drive there with suprisingly nice scenery. and yes, i arrived from Bahrain too, but it was dark.. i didn’t get to see stuff. here are some pictures of the causeway. Spectacular~ its refreshing to see water on the left and water on the right…

and below is the climb in the middle of the sea for the ships to cross.

the weather’s changing a bit here. its getting real humid in the evenings and in the mornings.. who’s the one who told me its dry here.. bleah~ oh, finally i got to see some clouds.

It’s my third friday here~ how time flies. Well i’ve been limbing a week now. It was getting better the first few days after the tiger balm and the yoko yoko, but it seems to have come to a standstill. ack~

Anyways, heres a little slideshow from my journey home from work~

Oh you see that yellow thinggie? They have loads and i mean LOADS of those buses here. Some of the companies try to hide the fact that their school busses by painting it over with white. Some try to cross it with a permanent marker. But there’s one, and i did not see this, this was told to me by a very reliable source, this one was totally covered with dust. and at the back of the bus, for the vehicles following behind it, was written “PLEASE WASH ME . . .”

Some houses along the way.

This one was taken when were were in the outskitrs of the city. Thats the sun at around 5:30 in the afternoon.

The final one is that just outside the gate to our living compound. This is like the best photo i’ve got, there’s a machine gun in there, with at least one uniformed soilder stationed in the small enclosued air conditioned shed. Man i feel protected… haha

It took me like almost forever to walk to the substation with the bloody limb, but i eventually got there. The first milestone has been met, another 10 thereabouts to go~ And now, we have POWER!! Everythings gonna be uphill from here..

4.16 kV~

Here’s the “POWER” grounp posing for a pic =P

(pssst.. I’m on the left) and finally, talk about preparing for the worse.. hehz

well, one can never be prepared enough i guess..

Ever been back home with a PSI of probably 150? That was how it was like over the weekend. Heng the BBQ almost din cancelled!

Having a BBQ here is no easy task.. I din buy the food so I shouldn’t be the one bitching, but then again, I feel their pain~ It’s like they have to go to 4 to 5 stores to get everything we needed. The sauce, the meat, the seafood why don’t they have everything in one place like home? Anyways, it’s been about a week since i got here and i only remember having seafood like twice -_-”. would it hurt for the cook to go get some seafood from the fish market?? It’s really not that expensive.

Kudos to the guys who pulled off the bbq. Mr.B, the 2 Chans, WK n the “local” Mr T. There’s finally a change in the food!

Chan2 preparing the food. Well, we gotta make do with what we’ve got =P

Our flame grill~

I’ll try making satay next time around.

On another note, of all the places, i pulled a muscle here.. When i refused to pack the muscle rub. Talk about karma~ A week of limbing ba..
