story of watchkeeping officer - going away leaving love ones...

im leaving on a jet plane..dont know when i`ll be back again...

this is purely fiction...got nothing to do with me or anyone else alive or dead...enjoy..

"all my bags are packed..im ready to go...
im standin` here outside your door...
i hate to wake you up to say goodbye...."


i got a call from the office...telling me that i got to sign on...far away from home...on the other side of the world...

a day before..i had a fight with my girl...she hates me for working at sea...and had hope that i opted for a job onshore with the consortium...so we could be together more often...

"u nak kita stay sama2..tp i nk bg u mkn ape kalau i x keje...? kereta i nak bayar...loan rumah lg...i had to go darlin`...i really want you to come with me but then your working yourself...had our own commitment...in fact i could support the both of us without you working darlin`...." i told her..

"is it that hard to work here...and not there...? i got friends who works with some local companies..they were once sailing..skarang dah berhenti...i was hoping u would do the same thing..." she argues...

"..kawan you dah lama kerja kapal...he had been at sea for more than a decades...i ni bru je nak start...cm`on laa...is it hard to understand the nature of my career...i could bear with your career commitments..then why not u...??"

door were slammed...and her tears were the witness...wanted to be left alone

i lit up my dunhill...figuring my best option...calculating risk and opprotunities....i called up the office...hoping that i could bring her along...but since she is working and she wont even took a leave...it cant be done....and someone had to look after the house...its my responsibilities..but then i cant be at two places at the same time...and i cant leave her alone all by herself...


"but the dawn is breakin..its early morn..
the taxi waitin..he`s blowin` his horn..
already im so lonesome i could die..."

i left my home...leaving on a jet plane...and i went away without her...
surely it would breaks her heart finding that i eventually would left her...

i arrive at the airport terminal that morning...i checked in...had my boarding pass went through the immigration...passport in hand...and her voice...her soft porcelain skins...her long sweet hair..her candy lips..in my heart...

"panggilan akhir utk penumpang pesawat MH-001 ke London..anda diminta utk berada di pintu C5..."

"last call baby..." i said to her...

"i really hate when ur not around..when ur not with me...when i slept alone with out u...i cant hardly close ur eyes..and i cant stop being addicted to ur warm touch...do you really have to go...?" she asked...

"i had to..and im gonna miss u the way u miss me baby....i never forget bout u darlin`..even if im a thousand miles from home...ur still my love..and i cherished that i had u..."


.....................

"so kiss me and smile for me...
tell me that you`ll wait for me..
hold me like you`ll never let me go"

"cause im leaving on a jet plane..
i dont know when i`ll be back again
oh babe i hate to go..."


..................

the four Pratt and Whitney turbo jet engine roaring..accelerating the massive 747 on the tarmac and up into the air...i sat alone close to the window...looking upon everything below become smaller and farther...

the aircraft flew towards London and then i had to pick up another flight to Liverpool...where my ship...waiting...and from there on it will be another 7 months before i could get back home and be with her...

.................

" every place i go..i think of you...
every song i sing...i sing for you...
when i come back i`ll kiss u and never say goodbye..."

apa itu kapal - sambung ari tu nye posting...

dah x bz dah aku skang nie....

ok2..class is now in session...

hari tu aku cite pasal kapal2 yg basic2 je...skang kita advance skit ke tahap expert bg mrk yg baru nak kenal atau nak tahu apa itu kapal dan sedara maranya....haha...fokus kali ni kpd orang2 kuat industri perkapalan global...

ini adalah cable layer...cable die besar punyer...

cable layer adalah kapal yg kerjanya adalah meletakkan kabel di dasar laut atau submarine cable...ini bukan cable utk kapal selam atau cable besar dgn menteri atau mana2 ahli politik ok...itu lain nye cable...cable2 ni terdiri dari cable elektrik...cable fiber optik dan telekomunikasi...bende bulat yg besar kat tgh2 kapal dlm gambo kat atas ni adalah tempat dimana cable ini diletakkan dlm gulungan...selain terdapat mcm heavy lift equipment utk laying...mini sub dan diver pun ade gak kat kapal ni...tujuannya agar cable di tempatkan ditempat yg betul selain utk check ade rosak ke ape ke....ini kapal kalau xde maka xde la kita semua nak merasa pakai telefon atau main internet atau dapat kuasa elektrik yg menjana mcm2 peralatan di rumah...byk jasa dia nie..org je x tau...

kapal yg angkut tongkang...atau Lighter Aboard Ship (LASH) kata org kampung..

kapal ni lak keje die mengangkut tongkang atau pontoon dlm kuantiti besar dlm satu2 masa merentasi lautan dari benua ke benua yg mana kapal tunda biasa x mampu nak redah....kapal ni antara spesies hampir pupus sebab kontena mula mengambil alih kerja2 mengangkut barang scr pukal..tp ade gak komoditi yg terlalu besar cam tangki minyak utk refinery atau bahan binaan pre cast cam konkrit utk buat jambatan atau bangunan yg x mampu dimuatkan dlm kontena jadi kapal ini yg jadi penyelamat keadaan...

ini dredger atau kapal korek...inai kiara ade byk kapal nie...serius...

kapal korek adalah nama x glamer bg dredger yg ade byk lak adik beradik dan sedara mara dlm class nye...keje dredger ni x lain x bukan adalah mengorek tanah atau pasir dlm sungai atau laut utk tujuan mendalamkan sungai atau terusan xpun utk reclaim land cam yg kerajaan UAE wat dgn membina pulau buatan manusia..curik pasir pun pakai kapal ni gak...x caya tanye singapura...haha....dlm byk2 dredger yg palin ol skool adalah dredger yg pakai bucket...gali lubang pakai tong dram....nak power skit kami mempunyai cutter suction dredger dan trailing suction dredger...sesuai utk merembat pasir atau utk tambak tanah....

orang kuat industri perkapalan..minyak dan gas...

aku x sure ape klasifikasi kapal ni tapi dlm byk2 kapal...Blue Marlin dari Dockwise je yg leh angkut offshore installation...jack up drill rig...kapal perang...kapal selam...floating production unit dan lain2 struktur mega yg x mampu digerakkan oleh teknologi pengangkutan konvensional....bayangkan sebuah platform yg leh membawa sejumlah besar kapal layar utk tokey2 balak dan menteri2 dan pd masa lain membantu perkembangan industri minyak dan gas dgn mengangkut pelantar minyak ke medan minyak dan gas di tengah laut....kapal ni leh tenggelamkan hull die dgn menggunakan ballast...kargo di diletakkan dan dibiarkan terapung sblm kapal ni buang ballast die..bila dia terapung..dgn kargo2 tu skali die angkut.....masyuk abis....

ade lagi nie...nnt ak sambung lagi...internet x best...damn lah...
