HJ was working for a well-known Miri oil and gas company. That time, he was assigned to carry out workscoping for a project at the Baram field.
The workscoping team consisted of only about 5 men, and it was supposed to be a daily-tripping job, as there was no LQ at Baram.
However, the weather was very bad that day. The scheduled boat was postponed until the next day. So HJ was stuck there in the middle of the sea with no toothbrush, and no spare clothes. The men had to sleep in a porta-cabin, while waiting for the boat to arrive the next day.
The next morning, HJ was woken up by a strange sound. He distinctly heard a rooster crowing outside! HJ felt a chill pass through him. That was impossible, as there were definitely no poultry on the unmanned platform!
HJ is retired now, but he remembers that unusual morning even after so many years have passed. The morning he was woken up by a cock's crow in the middle of the sea.
According to HJ, there are many spirits out in the open sea and some things just cannot be explained.

or maybe the "cock's crow" is the alarm tone of a clock or what?
or..maybe someone smuggle in a cellphone & have the cock's crow as the ringtone?
Anonymous: Hopefully that's the case. HJ believes otherwise, saying that "the quality of polyphonic phones was not that good then."
But it is a likely alternative.
