In the middle of Indian Ocean ..

CQ got an unexpected email from a friend who was a team mate during our softball years in Singapore. Wow ..it has been quite sometime that CQ got news from Lat Mat and his family.

Due to the nature of his job, Lat Mat travels a lot to countries all over the world. He is not a seaman nor has anything to do with the sea ...he is just following an oil rigger and doing his own job. Must be a free ride or hitch-a-hike on the ocean ...huhu.

Anyway, this is the oil rigger that Lat Mat is following ..on the way to Mauritius. Now he is in the middle of Indian Ocean and he is sooo bored ..nothing to see but only sea water. It is his first experience on board ship while working.

The oil rigger left the Jurong Shipyard on the 6th April and probably will reach Mauritius on the 28th April ...woooh that's in about five days. Lat Mat will fly back to Singapore instead of continuing the trip to Mexico ..or else he will go crazy lols...

Well, Lat Mat can 'cure' his boredom by fishing on board the oil rigger. In my younger days when my brothers and myself had the opportunity to follow our father on the high seas, we would see him fishing. You can get many big fish and I mean really BIG!

If there are freezers on board the oil rigger, CQ is sure the length are 4 times the large-size of the normal kitchen freezer.

Lat Mat said the best part is that he can make calls to his family using the satellite phone and is able to excess to Internet ...if not life is meaningless on board the oil rigger ...hehehe.

Well, CQ hope Lat Mat will have a safe sailing and enjoy the last leg of his journey to Mauritius on board the oil rigger. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
