A Day in Gialo,

Refer to the red spot.

So, Now you know where am hiding or would be. Yes I have been to Jalo for one day trip. The trip commenced from NC-163 point heading east to Jalo city. was around 40 km from where I am now which is OMV field near 103 Alpha. I can only describe the way as dusty and so sandy but nothing impossible for the 2010 V-8 Land Cruiser Toyota. Carsten (My German Coleague) could not resist not to drive all the way to Jalo city. "Ali, People tend to pay fortune to what I am doing for free now, I love driving off-road" he said. I could see how much he enjoyed driving it but didnt enjoy seeing him almost making an accedent in an empty desert. There was a pile of sand and i was surprised that Carsten couldn't see it. I shouted "Look out man" I glanced at the dash-board and there where I holded any thing I can make good grib on. ** KM/H is not giving me any confidence that he will succeed controlling it. Carsten is still slow in his response and what to do, "slow down and go to your left gently" Calmly he started to respond with ease. Toyota is amazing car if the driver knows what to do. Anyway he succeded in controlling the situation and we had to stop at the pile and we both been thankful to Allah that we were ok this time.

We continued our trip, and we arrived Jalo quite late , Carsten head to a safety boots shop and he bought 4, he tried to locate one for his cousine back home but no chance coz he couldnt find the size he wanted.

Then we head to a super market and bought loads of choclate of many brands, (Gardena Black, Gardena white, Kitkats, Mars, Snickers and some tea biscuits.

I had no chance to go to a hair dresser because we were Late and then we decided to head back to our Base. The following day we had a BBQ party before I head back to Tripoli the day after.

Goodbye My Dear Coleague

He resigned and left this morning after 10 years of working with him. I could not resist the sadness of his going. Actually I was assigned to a different location so I was not there when he left but all what I could do is just a phone call and and an email (Copy is @ the top). Maldin Is a British national who has been working here since 1973. I joined the company in 2001, I remember when I first met him 9 years agao. He said he is impressed with my English but I was trying to take the embarrasement away by saying "no it is not".

I have learnt alot from this man, Not only technical engineering point of view, but alot of other things concering day-to-day life and activity. I blossomed between his hands during my career. He helped me alot to make it to the top and he is been always a support. He is out going good guy with great spirit. He got a very healthy sense of humour that you die laughing. I will realy miss him and he will be great loss for the department.

When I was in the UK, I visited him many times . He keeps good family and they are still in good bonds and ties where he almost lives like an Arab style of socialism. Still looks after his married doughters and son, looks after his grnds and his aunt. I have seen the kindness inside him. He took me for a meal near Wittby and shaw me where James Cook started his trip to discover Australia. Ahh What days man.

I will not forget this man and nobody will do because of the good support we received from him. Before he departured, he sent me sms saying , (Man I will never forget you and I believe we will meet again.)

You will be always remembered Mal.

DXAliK,
