Well hello Bloggers , hope everyone has missed me I have really missed writing and expressing my information and to blow some steam !!
Reason why I have been out of action for a while is I decided to do some Fly In Fly Out work and was an amazing , interesting experience for me in Houskeeping..
Did my Induction and got my travelled dates so I landed up travelling by bus 2 hours to airport then waited another 2 for my plane, which travelled another 2hrs to our site camp.
I landed up been shown around the site which was just red sand everywhere, i landed up with my room which had a shower, toilet TV and single bed, and cupboards kinda cute.
Took a walk to the Kitchen area for Dinner and thought wow so many different things to choose from , steak, fish, stir fry and a great selection. Then you had puddings and ice cream and thought to myself DIET DIET DIET...LOL
Then started my work on the Wednesday got up at 5am put my uniform on and the boots, with 2 pairs of socks.
Met everyone and they were all amazing for the first 2 days..its like being at school where everyone wants to be your friend, so now I thought id do some housekeeping on the mine site, totally different to what I had been doing work wise.
My first day had to push a trolley , make beds and clean toilets the day had not even started at it was like 1pm , 45 deg and flies like you cannot believe and thought what have i got myself into..
I was told by one of the workers that She does not think this is perhaps not the type of work for me .....On my first day, thought HOW RUDE,....thing is she didn't last the 2nd week...lol
We had the mess which was the drinking area and I met some amazing people there it was so nice as it was about me this time, and felt good.
I was sent home on the first day as they said i had dehydration ! wow is this the thing for me ??
2nd Day was OK 3rd day , 4th day getting better and decided I had to get my fitness level back and started going to gym, so it was up at 5am start work at 730 and finish at 6pm go home and get gym clothes and walk there and once i did that work was way better.
Cleaning the dongas as we called them was an real eyeopener too some neat some disgusting thank goodness for safety wear otherwise while cleaning toilets you have "ewe" stuff splashing in your face, i even found a frog in one toilet.
It was a great wake up call I have never drunk so much water in all my life it was like 4L a day but the good thing is that i Lost 10kg in a week i was so impressed and felt so much better.
After eating every day same selection different things after the 2nd swing as my swing was 2 weeks work and 1 week at home. I landed up just having porridge .
Came home and it was nice but worst thing is getting back into routine of cooking and cleaning...
Went back for a 2nd stint and had a few issues which I had to sort out at home as hubby also worked away and he suggested i resign which i was abit sad to do.
So after I did i landed up going to visit him in Singapore, it was nice , hotel was abit out of town so landed up tanning most days while he worked, and then decided to go to Universal Studio which was great and thought Ok Monday it would be nice and quiet, so i go early and What a site packed as can be and wonder where does everyone come from!!!!

After a week in Singapore Hubby finished up his work and thought maybe a quick break to Phuket we haven't been there in 9 years and thought it would be nice.
Arrived , booked our accommodation just a cheapie place and our room wasn't ready so we walked the streets and was hounded by Absolute People which is like time sharing, and when you don't buy into there scheme and you say no you not prepared to give them $16k that day they called nasty.
Wherever you go they are like flies. 2nd day we landed up going to a place called Dolphin Bar and had about 4 beers so the bill was like 460 rupiah so i gave it to the lady at the bar, and i waited and waited so i asked nicely please can i have my change and wow ....out the blue she said Me not steal you can wait for change" i was sooo shocked the friendliness of people around Phuket has died.
Decided to try a breakfast at one of the Hotels, well we looked at the Menu and thought ok that looks nice and we ordered it and it came to us and i couldnt stop laughing my bacon looked like a pigs tail..
look at this..lol

So guess what ! I am seeking FIFO work again..it was sooo peaceful lol..
