Macam2...

This week is really a something to me. First, this week is really essential for me to come up with reservoir properties from my petrophysical analysis. Being an inexperienced petrophysicist, i hardly find confidence in my analysis, however, i have to make my data looks confidence and therefore i have put several assumptions to simplify the matters. It was really a tiring work to understand the software and how it works best for my data which i need to refer to many other friends where they are located in different building and it was really tiring since my condition now is not the usual me. Even the weather is already sunny but breezy, i still wear coats to keep warm as i really can't live in cold weather, not like my son, he never wears his coat now after returning from nursery. And yes...the day is longer that the night of course..and imagine...at 5 am, it looks like 7.30 am in Malaysia..and 8.30 pm looks like 5.00 pm in Malaysia..dear oh dear..i heard that in July it's going to be worst...really can't wait to return home!

Last Tuesday, i had my first ultrasound in edinburgh. It was really far to get to the royal infirmary. We arrived quite early and the hospital really looks grand with some outlets inside and restaurants...it's actually a brand new hospital i guess..and yeah we just got in for scan for 10 minutes or so because everything was normal and I'll comeback for another scan when i reach 20 weeks pregnancy..i only got 1 picture from the scan result..but i was really glad seeing her gently dancing inside her sac and she already got her hands and feet. She actively moving through the scanning procedure. Now, she is 44mm long and my EDD will be on 27 November 2009 which is a relief for me as i got ample time to recover before getting busy for my bro's wedding, hopefully...

The next day, i had a visit to geological core store to look for my rocks. I mean, how does it looks like in real despite relying solely on printed reports that i have. My team core was 60 m long and i only brought 1 well core data with me as i thought, there would be only one core only. After all, I wasn't really know what to look at as i am really blunt in geology and even the terms such as stratigraphy, sedimentation etc always make me confused..but i do love nature, i love to learn how they formed and the ancient story behind it, but with the little knowledge that i have, i'm positive, that my story will be laughed by the experienced geologist..:P..i went there with my geologist...and actually i can't really work with him..it just i don't believe in his saying..haha..i dunno..i guess my wavelength does'nt aligned with him..but still, i need to work closely with him...

And today, i went to visit my assigned midwife, she is very nice and sweet lady, talks very soft and kind. I think it is really far different with our Malaysian government society. I can say, they are rude, hardly smile to greet you and makes the people around afraid of them..i dunno what the purpose of their bad attitudes anyway...here, people are very friendly regardless whether you are foreigner or not. I think that is why more people loves to migrate to western as the western people are more open and welcoming. Asian, I am not sure about my neighbouring country, i just can comment about my own country, it is quite shameless as the government staffs are not friendly and seems like they always work under pressure. Or maybe because of our hot weather that makes hot tempered human??? i dunno..but the private can give smiley and warmth greetings...why not the government...i really hopes..the new generation of government servants will employ best attitudes ever...i really hope...only one thing that make me sad...is...our salary...is not at par as any other country even our neighboring country...i just asked a friend of mine...and he said...fresh grad was paid by their NOC..around 1k pound...my salary??? even i have worked for 3 years plus...still not reaching 1k pound.....pathetic huh??? and please don't compare with the government pay..must be much lesser than mine..i guess...

OK, back to my midwife story...i was interviewed on my background and previous pregnancy.And also, my blood was taken for several tests and she did asked me to think about spina bifida/down snydrome test..which at first i dont want to do it as i really hate to donate my blood for tests...it was really hurt..since she did not wipe with spirit before putting in needle and vein is really small and she tried two times with different arms..and it was really scary when she put in the needle and still hurt when my blood is drained...i think, there was 6 tubes altogether...and when she took my weight..it was 41 kg..she said my BMI is too low..yes..i always know that..no matter how much i eat..i always failed to upgrade my BMI..and due to that..she said, i will be having monthly scanning to monitor my feotus weight..hehe..i like this as i can my bb more frequent...next scanning will be on my 15 weeks....:)..and..probably on 20 weeks...and i think...26 weeks or so..before i fly home...and it just about time to fly home as she said..my pregnancy must be around 28 weeks or less to enable me to fly....and..according to her estimation...i in the midst of 27 weeks..or else..i'm going to have a scottish bb..hihihi...if there is a need...i may adjust my timetable..so i can come home early...
