I’ve been offshore for too long. Nearing 4 months now.

I’ve been fasting the whole Ramadhan, celebrating Syawal, marking my birthday, and eventually — Eid al-Adha and New Year in the middle of oil field.

This Petr0nas-Schlumberg3r Project is way too taxing.

In Labuan. Spending some time with the 3G broadband on board the current vessel.

Freitag Nacht

I try not to go to THERE this weekend. I (too) feels like wanna hangout with you this Friday.

And the weekend passes.

Anticipating…of nothing.

Dreimal hoch!

Happy Birthday Neko…this 16th July.

I’ll be back onshore another 2 month or so.

Jedem das Seine

July 7th, 2008 by daftsavant

A little
voice in my head, echoed a whisper. As I lay to sleep, in the darkness
of space and the din of percussion and strings. The guys and gals,
outside the room, relished the harmony of post-rock vibration.

Midnight already passed. The adjoining neighbour at the mercy of the
Indie trio — although at the end, the music seemed to lull, than to
roll. They were relishing their youthful days.

That little voice stirred, piercing the waning tune. It echoes of my youthful past with the Teesside Girl.

Last Saturday was the Teesside Girl’s wedding dinner. I’m invited, but chose not to go.

Since I got back from UK, it took us one year to get in contact with
one another. Broken — as I eased myself with solitary life. And another
one year to get to know each other again. Broken — yet again, as I’m a
wee too late, to woo her back.

I felt like a child with a wreck heart in a wild abandon of
fruitless adventure. Crying as he found the jewel, no more than a
lesser stone.

I’m a little sad, but then it’s nothing. All will be in passing.

In the end, it’s a little lie just to make myself better.

+++

Near 2 am, *pat pat* the Neko consoled. A smile, etched on my face.

“Thanks bro. See you when you come back. :-)” said the Teesside Girl
this morning, as I congratulated her on her blissful wedding.

Bro?

Transient Solitude, Dithering Solutions

Let Down
 

By Radiohead

[...]

You know, you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing
Floating, bouncing back
And one day….
I am going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and…

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

[...]

Like Estragon and Vladimir, I’m forever Waiting for Godot. The faculty of anticipation bordering absurdity as the capacity of waiting withering.

Is it so hard to make one commitment to fill this epoch of time, when there’s absolutely no hindrance, no attachment to other place and at least a foresight of expecting to be near-presence of this locality?

One day off. Near and about. Silence.

I feel sorry for myself. I’m trying too hard to appease this facetious
pantomime. Mouthing and jerking and twitching for semblance of
plausible expression. I’m humouring my ill-humoured self with certainty
with certain degree of sacrificing the prospect of my hectic life.

One day off the hectic life on this eventful day.

And I found myself thinking — aloud — Why?

Perhaps
it’s time to be overtly apathetic. Curbing the liquidity of resources
to bare minimum. Saying yes, to say no. To contradict myself, for my
own benefit — not being selfish — rather, just to be self-aware.

+++

I know, it’s not a promises. And you know it’s the day. Yet the
day wasted with you in the familiarity of personal-comfort. I should
know better, for someone who is used to normalcy, impromptu event
sounds taboo.

+++

Update:

Alright, my fault.

*sigh*

Man, I’m really easy to cave in, innit?

*tunneling out*

What a Piece of Work is a Man! (Hamlet 2.2)

May 5th, 2008 by daftsavant

Liyana Yusof (Dizzyli) recites Hamlet - Act 2, Scene 2 by William Shakespeare.

I have of late–but wherefore I know not–lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed it goes so heavily
with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory, this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o’erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? man delights not me: no, nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.

Charming.
