the story of a watchkeeping officer - towards Rotterdam

entri Euro Trip....trip la sangat....

La Lanterna...ini adalah rumah api...bukan kapal api

sementelah sehari berada di Genoa..maka kapal pun bersiap siaplah utk berangkat ke pelabuhan seterusnya...syukur operasi pemunggahan kali ini berjalan dgn lancar dan selamat tanpa sebarang masalah atau perkara2 yg menggerunkan walau pelaut tegar sekali pun....

pandu dipanggil...kapal tunda merapat....tali tambatan dilepaskan...

maka kapal pun berlayarlah ke Rotterdam...destinasi akhir utk pemunggahan kali ini.....dan utk kebanyakan dari kami...seolah pulang ke kampung halaman (kampung la sangat) sebab kapal ini lebih byk ke Rotterdam dari Pelabuhan Klang...hahaha...

aiseh...sudah panggil stesen haluan dan buritan...

gerak dulu...

the story of a watchkeeping officer - escort through Gulf of Aden

entri Op Fajar....Paskal ramai atas kapal....

on the lookout

macam biasa...bila kapal dalam perjalanan ke Europa...pasti ia akan diiringi sekumpulan manusia yg dipanggil anggota pasukan khas bg mempastikan kapal selamat dari ancaman budak2 hitam kurus x cukup makan...

entri kali ini adalah tribute kepada mereka2 ini...yg sama seperti kami terpaksa meniggalkan yg tersayang di tanah air demi tugas dan amanah yg telah dipertanggungjawabkan....

the story of a watchkeeping officer - the celebration of a prophet birthday

entri islamika..

before all the huha occured in Pasir Gudang....my good vessel went to two Southern Asia ports..i.e Dahej in the Republics of India and Karachi in Pakistan....

these two nation are like anjing and kuching....they are threatening each other with military prowess and nuclear capabilities....some scary people they are...

but im not to talk about the brickering of these two nuclear superpower....and im not going to talk about India particularly because i am a racist and i had a strong belief in Fascism .....hahahahahaaa.....(ok im dead)

decorative neon lights on a bot ikkan

during our stay at Karachi...the Maulid Nabi is around the corner...and not like in our stereotype country of Malaysia...the Pakistani celebrate the birth of the last prophet...Muhammad S.A.W not by going into stadium and hearing forum perdana...or berarak keliling pekan or kampung sambil bawa sepanduk....

they went one step further....

meriah

bot ikan berhias...lampu neon dan speaker Bang and Olufsen that plays nasheed songs that praised the prophet....and the congregation of these boats were massive...throughout the night...the channel were closed for shipping...

and most probably...they had a competition of which boat or boats have the best decoration...maybe against kampung2 or rukun2 tetangga...

neon lights - kalah need for speed underground....

something different eh....

the story of a watchkeeping officer - way away

entri gila sepere

apakah ini...??...ikkan pawos kah atay kappal sellum

yeah...surprisingly i am back onboard MT BUNGA MELATI SATU...after only a day at home....well the office decide to sent me away for probation...2 months of understudyfor cargo operation..and since they deemed myself as a hazard for ship operation..i wasnt put under any watchkeeping duties...

yeah...fine lah...janji ada uang masuk bank bulan2...being a day worker also not that bad...keje je kena kuat eh....

but the issue that occured from the operation at pasir gudang really gave me a lesson...

it shows that people do make mistakes...and any corporation doesnt want mistakes (shall i say we should be godlike - god never make mistake what)...and mistakes can cost a lot of monies...unfathomable by our own bank accounts....(to that extent...nothing happened in my case..but the exaggeration are obvious...)

and its not only my mistakes solely although they want it looks like it is mine alone while in reality they should take some blame also ape..so much for a so called blaming and pointing fingers culture...but who the hell i am...just an employee who cant say nothing and hangguk kapla saja...

the truth is....i was demoralized....i`ve lost my momentum...and i felt like angkat kaki ke kompeni lain kerna keciwa....

but among my fellow mate`s and seniors most of em suggested that i should stay in this glorious corporation....
well im thinking the other way around...and many thanks for the advice that were given to me...

hell....macam korang paham je ape jadah aku taip nih...ngahahhaaa.....

hahahhaa....

anyway...im doing my time at Satu right now....when i`ll be back...?

god knows when...
