Jogo da Familia CCL

Os ex estudantes do Colegio da Cruz Linda, reuniram-se ontem numa das quadras da Centralidade do Kilamba para realizarem uma partida de confraternização.

Gilson, Idalecio, Anibal, Hilario, Emerson, Silveira, Joao

O jogo foi bastante intenso desde os primeiros minutos. Apesar da intensidade da partida, e dos diversos golos marcados por ambas as equipas, o resultado não foi de tudo importante, mas sim a oportunidade de reaver os ex colegas.

My Toastmaster Ice-break Speech:

I delivered my first speech at Kizomba Toastmaster Club and it was titled "My First Salary".

Thanks madam Toastmaster, fellow toastmasters and distinguished guests.

Today, I’m gonna talk about my first salary, I will explain  how it feels when you earn your first salary, but before moving to the intend of my speech let me introduce my self.

My name is Gilson Adao, I was born in Malange long time ago, I belong to a large family, my father was a really good baby maker so I have 9 siblings, I’m trying to follow his steps, but I’m kind of slow, so far I have a daughter. I have a bachelor degree in Environmental engineering.

Moving on, I have decided to work, when I was at 2^nd year of university, I wanted to be independent and I had also my personal things to buy. At that time, I was looking for small jobs that would allow me to do both things in parallel, I was looking to 400 ou 500 pay job. I was so blessed that appears a job with higher pay than I was expected, so I signed the scholarship program with Exxon in December 2007, and at that time Exxon was offering 1200 to learn English during 12 months, I didn’t think twice and accepted the job.

I received the first  pay on January 27, 2008. And it was really a memorable day, I was already in school learning English, I remember this day like today, I was so anxious to go to the bank and make transfer to my family to celebrate this moment.  I was educated that the first salary should be spent with family in order to be blessed. I had made my plans with 1200, and I wanted to send half of my pay to my family.

So, I went to the bank and I asked for the account balance, when I received the paper it was showing 700$, I asked the teller to check again, and it was 700, so the teller printed the bank statement and it was 700, at first, I felt so disappointed, I thought that there was a mistake or something, I went and talk to another colleague and he received as well the same amount. I just went back to the bank and transferred 300 $ to my sister to distribute along the family.

O meu feriado da Paz

Feriado no meio de semana, foi aproveitado para relaxar e retemperar as energias desprendidas no trânsito caótico da cidade Capital. 

O local escolhido para aproveitar o feriado, foi o Hotel Béu Mar, localizado no distrito do Benfica, município de Talatona.

Trip to Houston

After 8 days in Houston, the time to return has come. 

Short trip, but it was enough to learn more about Drilling and Completions Overview and meet new people.

Thanks Houston, see you again soon 😊😊.

Encontro com os engenheiros: Tarde de Sabado

Assim foi a tarde de sabado com os engenheiros.

Preparing the Material for the Thesis

I'm going to present my thesis next year, my topic is Produced Water Treatment on Block 15. Block 15 is one of the most fertile block in Angola, currently it is producing more than 500,000,000 barrels per day.

Produced water is the water that is kept underground and come up to surface with the oil production. This water presents risks for the human health and for the biodiversity. The produced water treatment starts on hydrocyclone and end-up on the Gas flotation unit.

Ultimos dias na UnIA

Depois de 5 anos desprendido na Universidade Independente de Angola (UnIA), chegamos assim ao fim do curso de engenharia em Recursos Naturais e Ambiente. Tendo optado pela variante Ambiente. No ultimo dia de prova a felicidade reinava no seio dos estudantes por ver um sonho a se tornar realidade. Quero agradecer e felicitar a todos os colegas pela amizade, companherismo, e carinho demonstrado ao longo dessa caminhada. 

Que venha a defesa....

Grupo 5, 5 anos depois

14 de Janeiro de 2008, 40 jovens foram selecionados para o programa de formação da Esso Angola,  a ter lugar no Sumbe, INP (Instituto Nacional dos Petróleos). Dos 40 selecionados, apenas 31 terminaram o curso avançado de inglês, seguindo assim para a cidade de Calgary, Alberta para dar sequencia aos estudos.

5 anos já se passaram desde aquela data, que já mais esquecerei, por ser o meu primeiro emprego. Os momentos passados juntos, as brincadeiras, os jantares e as pedras. Dos 31 que terminaram a formação actualmente 27 continuam na empresa.

Não importa, por onde andam os 4 que deixaram o programa, mas contudo foi bom vos conhecer, e foi bom trabalhar com vocês.
