Welcome Aboard Mariners Alike - Malaysia Rule The Waves

its hard to describe how a man could left everything he had on land and went out to sea...
its even harder to describe how bright the stars at night and how fresh the cool morning air when you are in the middle of the ocean...
the hardest thing is to describe how close you are to death and how god could took your life at any time...
come to sea and see for yourself...

GOD SPEED AND FAIR WINDS


come to sea and see for yourself

this blog is dedicated to mariners,navigators and seafarers alike, merchant or naval for others to had a glimpse of what we do and what we faced in the vast blue oceans.

the story of a watchkeeping officer - Eid at sea

entri dendang perantau...lah sangat...
lanun di pagi Syawal... ^__^"
1st of all....Salaam Eid Ul Fitr....thousand apologies i seek from all....for my wrong doings...if there is any...

This year...just like last few years...i celebrated Eid at sea....well technically we are celebrating Eid some 40 nautical miles off the coast of Sarawak....not so perantauan like others who celebrate their Eid at the farside of the world...haha...and not well cut off from the outside world since lines of communications are available....so can make phone call to all the wive(s) and awek(s)....(mak bapak juga tidak dilupa)

anyway...

this year Eid is a bit hambar...not so meriah (what does mat salleh call meriah eh..)....well maybe because first and foremost...our cook x boleh blah in his cooking...my mate kata nokhorooom pemalaih tahap nurako durjono....2nd...by evening were coming alongside to Bintulu...to load another seven thousand tonnes plus of palm oil....so most of us took the opportunity to get a well earn rest before going back to work....

 still....the spirit of Eid is still there...the morning prayers...all the makan2...the sound of Dendang Perantau and all the other lagu raya in the air played by Klasik Nasional FM...and all of us going about around the ship with baju melayu and samping.....

and deep within our (or mine) heart...we do feel sad (tipu la x sedih)......for this Eid...we are apart from our own families and those who we love the most....but having each and everyone of us around...lessen the sadness...brought back the family spirits and brotherhood...although we are not related in blood...

well...

from the navigation bridge...cargo control room and the engine control room of the MT BUNGA BANYAN....Salaam Eid Mubarak...
