the story of a watchkeeping officer - NineMikeCharlieHotelThree - 2012

entri sambung keje...

kapal kugiran...hahahhaa

got a call in the morning....its the main office in KL...and im asked to join my old janda...the MT Bunga Melati Satu....

i got tonnes of memories onboard that particular ship for she is my first ship i joined as cadet....she is the oldest Melati class chemical tanker....the one that takes me to the outside world....where i learn the "rukun navigasi"...place that i learned how to socialized with people of all ages....

a lot happened on Satu...

we experience heavy weather right away after leaving Rotterdam...where the engine cant cope up and were pushed back by the storm surge....should have taken a photo of position plotted on chart...it was madness...

on Satu also....we experienced the parting of our mooring lines....in Algeciras...6 lines parted during 3 days of port stays....the worst was on the 2nd day where the fwd breast parted...and the ship almost break away from the terminal....

haha..and i cant forget my kepala angin captain..a filipino Capt Ebora....crazy fella....

and oh...the same ship where we jammed ourselves with jamming sets available onboard....thanx to the captain....haha...dont know whether the drums...the lead guitar...the bass guitar is still onboard...i heard it is unusable...and nobody keeps em in good order...but that is rumours....cant trust em much....

much has come back from that days.....and now...joining the ship again...with the same crew members that i used to work with... will really bring back lots of memories....

a piece of history from NineMikeCharlieHotelThree.....

the story of a watchkeeping officer - the heat is on...

entri cuti dah nak habis....

fly away all my zephyr`s...

ya betul....kehangatan nya semakin terasa....notice of readiness sudah pun dihantar...menandakan aku seperti dulu masih lagi bergantung harap kepada konsortium nacional yg dipanggil MISC Berhad....walaupun byk kali aku memikirkan utk angkat kaki dan pergi ke padang luas yg lebih hijau.....

tapi....

temptation terhadap pelayaran di satu sudut dunia yg masih aku belum jejak membuatkan aku membatalkan niat angkat kaki aku....dalam 2 tahun aku berkhidmat...aku masih belum merentas lautan Pasifik...menyusuri terusan Panama...berada di tanjung paling selatan...Cape of Good Hope dan Cape Horn....malah belum sekali merentas lautan Atlantik....

ternyata..melihat dan mendengar kisah teman2 akan trade route ini....membuatkan aku teruja...tp pasti ia indah khabar dari rupa...

apapun....

panggilan masih lg belum diterima....dan cuti sudah mencecah penamat....

tunggu sajaaaa.....

suara kasar - resolute

entri resolusi....

challenge accepted...fuck yeah..!!

ramai bercerita tentang azam atau resolusi ketika berlakunya transisi tahun....akan ada yg kembali membuka catatan lama berkenaan resolusi tahun yg sudah...mengenalpasti samada resolusi2 yg di tetapkan telah tercapai objektifnya atau tidak...

kemudian...lembaran baru dibuka...samada resolusi yg belum mencapai objektif nye diteruskan...seiring dgn resolusi baru...

aku...

setiap kali transisi tahun....aku merasa kan...persetan dengan segala resolusi....

yg paling penting adalah target yang realistik dan execution....x perlu senarai resolusi panjang lebar umpama resolusi keamanan sejagat oleh Pertubuhan Bangsat Bangsat Bersatu atau resolusi pertahanan peluru berpandu balistik oleh North Atlantic Treaty Organization yg hanya membuatkan perwakilan tidur lena ketika resolusi dibacakan....

clear objective...realistic target..and proper execution...

itu adalah target aku sejak sekian lama......dan akan menjadi target aku selamanya......

ok....jom naik kapal....lalalala
