this entry is dedicated to all 5 seafarers who lost their souls in the MT Bunga Alpinia incident....whom one of them i sailed before...and others...had been sailing with my fellow shipmates across the fleet..
to Hanafi...the OS whom i sailed before onboard MT Bunga Melati 3....i never thought our meetings onboard 3 would be the first and the last...i still got your photos...posing next to Chief Darmanshah..the SPG team in charge whilst transiting GOA...during a buffet dinner...when the karaoke sessions at the officers lounge with the SPG`s....
i still remember the first time you came onboard...joining Melati 3 as first ship OS...when you were awed by the sheer size of Melati 3...when we laughed a lot when you were conned by AO saying that you got to pay the electricity bills and water bills to chief mate and second engineer...when you were talking about your days in the training college...towards your innocence when you ask about stuff about ships....how you want to become deck officers and so on....i fondly remember all those times...
we will cherished and remember those days...
truthfully...i only know you as fellow shipmate..as my subordinate....and not more than that...maybe not like your fellow family and friends back in your college or back at home...but within my cold rock hard heart...i deeply saddened just like the others did....
tears came our when i wrote this entry....how sad it is to loose a person whom i worked together with...although it was only for a short period of time...but knowing that i knew you and i had sailed with you really making it hard to this heart...
truly....your passing will never be in vain...
Al Fatihah
-come to sea and see for yourself-
