New Year's Resolution

I have decided to start a new tag....
Here's what you need to do...

1. List down as many things as you want as your New Year's resolution.
2. Post it in your blog, change the date to the last day of the year.
3. Update your list whenever you can think of anything new.
4. Tag someone else to do the same.
5. You're responsible for helping that person achieve their resolution :-)

Since I've started this, I'd like to nominate Dina as the person to help me achieve this target.

So here's my list

1. To not stay in the office till very late. 7 pm latest only if necessary.
2. Really work from home on Friday.
3. Exercise regularly, like twice a week.
4. Plan my vacation...there are three types, family break, spouse break and personal break.
5. Cook more, start with twice a week.
6. Lose weight (uurghh...haven't we heard that one before)

I'd like to tag Yummy Mummy :-)

(update)

7. Play golf

Family break is now tentatively in March....am thinking of an island.

(update2)
8. To only buy one nice handbag...only one.

What a month

After a few weeks of silence...as in not actually writing, I've decided to finally put everything aside and update my blog, besides I need to take my one hour break from work (as if the one week I have already taken isn't enough)

The past month has been so tiring. Spent a lot of late nights at the office, latest was till 5 am....and I still turned up for a meeting at 9 am.

Aaahh...thinking about that is tiring already, I'll stop now and update later :-)

Mala's given birth

Mala's given birth to a baby boy, Amirul Hakimi on Tuesday the 11th of December. After more than 24 hours of labour, the doctor decided to operate, against Mala's wishes. But the operation turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as there were two placentas it seems. Don't know how that's possible.
Anyways, Yana, Mala tanya bila kita nak pergi sana. She's requested that any visits must be after her mum has left which will be on the 19th of January. See how lah ha...

First degree Taichi

All you beautiful people have heard of first degree murder yes? What about first degrea taichi? Read below...nama-nama yang digunakan adalah nama samaran dan berkaitan dengan orang yang masih hidup!!
Note to readers...please start at the end!!

Since I sent that email, Eiffel has confirmed that he wants us to use the filtered and shifted version instead. George had to go home but will be back.
We should be able to tell Eiffel that his final confirmation of the image to be used was given this pm. Confirmation on the workflow was only provided this am, and its actually the same workflow right from the beginning, and I'm not surprised at all SIGH :-(

Too many cooks...
Problem is we're all in hot soup.

Yang,

I'm sorry to put you through this - unfortunately with the drilling pushing ahead ***** (company deleted for Confidentiality) are desperate to see some results from the inversion and subsequent PP work. Not sure what we can really do other than try to deliver something we all agree has some value .... If you really feel we can go no further when it gets to tomorrow morning I can request a VC/Conf call with Eiffelto try to explain.

Hi all,
George is now loading the unfiltered, unshifted VSP and redoing his wavelet estimations.
We're a bit concerned with the differences in the sampling rate of the images that have been provided thus far.

I have also not seen any comparisons of the unfiltered, unshifted image with the surface seismic. George is going to follow up with an email to Eiffel2(CC all) to voice out these concerns.

Richard,
I understand the need to push this forward, but I strongly believe ***** (deleted again) should first look at the comparison of the surface seismic and the raw VSP before we commit to anything. Has Eiffel actually seen anything of that sort? We think he hasn't for the following reasons:

He was having problems connecting to InterAct.
He asked George to email him the segy of the VSP in Eiffel2's ppt. And that was the filtered shifted version.
In the meantime, we will redo the wavelet estimations.

Tired and depressed :-(

Glory seeker et al,

I have just spoken with Eiffel. He is making a request to have Eiffel2 update the processing based on CBukit's workflow. However he feels the data we are working is of sufficient quality for us to proceed full bore with the inversion work. He would very much like us to be able to provide the inversion results for the pore pressure prediction work to ***** Pau today that he could then pick up first thing in the morning to review.

Do we think it is possible to complete something today ?

Thanks and Regards,

Richard.

Glory seeker,

Another potential curveball - I've just had an SMS from CBukit saying that Eiffel prefers to use CBukit's original processing flow and asks that Eiffel2 redoes his work. I am about to call CBukit and then Eiffel to confirm. Will keep you all posted in the next few minutes.

Best Regards,

Richard.

Richard, please make any corrections as appropriate.

1. Unless we hear otherwise we should consider the raw migration supplied by Eiffel2 on Friday as the final input seismic for the inversion.

Although Richard and I didnt discuss this issue, for sake of completeness, I will restate here that I think that we should also assume that we do not need to shift the new seismic data, as per the e-mail from CBukit.

We should therefore crack on with wavelet estimation and inversion tests using the latest data from Eiffel2.

2. Victim2 and Victim3 will work on a PowerPoint to be sent by Victim1 to Eiffel this evening local time in Brunei showing the velocity log inserted into filtered versions of the delta-stack velocity section. Victim1 and Victim2 will keep everyone else in the loop particularly with respect to expected timing, which Richard will communicate to the client.

Best regards

Hello all you beautiful people!!!

The title says it all...I have been quiet because I was too busy. But thanks to Ebi and Kakak for keeping everyone informed about me....the 10th anniversary and the competitions.

Alhamdulillah for the 10 years that we've been married. Alhamdulillah for the 14 years that we've been together. Alhamdulillah that Kam hasn't walked out the door (and still think I'm sexayy) for everything that I've put him through. Sometimes when I get bitchy, I wonder dari mana datangnya perangai ni, Mama was certainly not confrontational with Papa when I was young. Jenis ikut aje, adalah kadang-kadang dia lawan, more now than before, but I'm terrible. Kakak in her quest of charting the family tree, also found out that a lot of the women (Mama's side) kahwin dua kali. Divorce is still sometimes deem as scandalous nowadays, but imagine what it was like hundreds of years ago...I guess Rao women are like that..feisty. Not just any men can take them on.


Now that all the competitions are out of the way, we can concentrate on moving to the new house. I plan to take leave next week, tak bagi tahu my boss yet...pindah and also try to take the kids somewhere..any suggestions? ALso want to tanam rumput this weekend. Any volunteers?

The following week I may have to go to Vietnam for a client's Christmas party. Client mana pun I tak tahu, but my new boss told me and another girl to go and enjoy ourselves. Nice or not? But my current boss may not allow it...I think lah!!

I will start moving to my new office, and slowly hand everything over to Nina Marie Hernandez who will be promoted. Good for her, as she now has to support her youner sister with her studies. I managed to get approval to work from home on every Friday (provided that there are no urgent meetings) next year onwards. Will be getting a pay rise somemore, backdated to October :-)

New Year Resolution....put the past behind, f@$k work and spend more time with the family...ohh and kumpul enough money to renovate the house.
