Colourful.................

Bye bye MISC...

Hi readers,
It's been a while since i left her....
She left me with lots of memories... sweet, bitter, with a pinch of spice...
She was the smallest one I've been on...
Small but never underestimate her!!!
She brought me to places that I've never been to.
She even sent me back to see my family once in a while...
Plus, she's the only one that really balances my work, family and friends on a same plank...
oh ya! She even gave me $$ on monthly basis...
Hahaha...


It felt like just yesterday that i woke up seeing her...
But...I'm now in yesterday's future, when the present becomes the past and the past is far from reach..

Chief Officer removing the ship's name....

M.V. Bunga Mas 10....
or now known as M.V. Tanto Tangguh..
She was sold off to an Indonesian Shipping Company as MISC Liner fleet faces a huge financial crisis and decided to exit the liner business.

 

Signed by ALL the M.V. Bunga Mas 10 crews

A mixed feeling of pride and sadness was there for me as a part of the "Handing over team"
Previously, i was announced to sign off due to reduction of crew,
But, the company prefers the more senior officers to stay,
so,
my junior managed to get off...
the sad part is,
i already packed all my stuff, gave some things away as mementos, and even made this!!








A lot of procedures were done to complete the handing over of the vessel.
Paper works, Store inventories, Company documentations and even familiarization for the taking over crews....



We've been through a lot during the process.
Chased off from Port Kelang Anchorage,
Water rationing,
Restriction from going ashore,
and many more.

but....
once we stepped off the pilot ladder,

 

I can see the faces of everyone...
that love-hate relationship between us and the steel...

It's more like "you-must-be-there-to-feel-it" thingy...

Before

After

M.V. Bunga Mas 10...

I will always remember you...

How it looked like.

How it felt....

YOU AND ME

The unfinished "project" of M.V. Bunga Pelangi Dua~

 

YOU AND ME

Do you remember, on the last nite of September~

Do you remember, on the first day of October~

Since that day, my heart

was captured~

You brought,

sunshine into my cloudy days,

Look’n forward to another day,

Makin’ time to stand! still and stay,

You-melt my heart with the words you say^^^

You and me sitting free living life like it's supposed to be,

You and me singing dancing here forever,x2

Do you remember, all the plans we made together?~

Do you remember, we're always there fo_r each other~

Since that day, my heart

was se-cured~

You kept,

makin' the sun rise, each of my days,

making my time flies, everyday,

plann' future all in our ways.

Against all odds and bums along the way^^^

You and me sitting free living life like it's supposed to be,

You and me lips on lips here forever,x2

Do you remember, on the last days of our summer~

Do you remember, how much fun we had together?~

Since that day, my heart

was broken~

You took

My sunshine away,

You promised me you’d stay~

Each day feels longer,

When you left you took my heart away.

You and me sitting free living life like it's supposed to be,

You and me?

I guess nothing lasts forever,x2

Right Here Waiting- Guitar+Harmonica

 Ok guys,
here's my FIRST attempt on posting myself playing the harmonica.
Be nice,ok??

Guitar-Sungha Jung (Mp3)
Harmonica-Myself :)






 Right Here Waiting For You -- Richard Marx
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you

All seafarers are invited to this celebration in Jabatan Laut Malaysia, Port Kelang.

Hierarchy of merchant vessel

 Hi Guys!
And again,
it's been quite some time for me to start blogging again.
okay,
This time it's about the hierarchy of merchant vessel a.k.a the rankings on the ship!!
Everybody always relates sailors as "Captain"
well,
there's a loooong passage to reach that rank,
not as easy as you think.


The "Old man" is the overall incharge of the ship.
From there,
there will be two departments.


Being the Deck Department and Engine Department.
Each Departments are being supervised by Chief Engineer and Chief Officer respectively.


The Departments are self explanatory,
Engine and Deck:


Under the Engine department,
There are 3 sets of scopes.
Electrical, Engineers and Ratings.


Whereas under the Deck department,
There are 3 sets of scopes too.
Catering, Officers and Ratings.




Well,
the picture below gives the better view of it~
:)

Hierarchy of merchant vessel

Unlike the Navy,
the Merchant Ship crews are mostly focused on multitasking due to the limited bunk or cabins available.
the usual mannings are approximately ranged between 25-30 person.


As for me,
I was the MISC sponsored "ALAM Product".
Went to ALAM( Akademi LAut Malaysia) located in Malacca,
recruited as a cadet.
went for basic trinings there for 1 year,
then i was assigned to sail for 12 months in total onboard :
1) Chemical Tanker- M.T. Bunga Melati Dua
2) Container Vessel-M.V. Bunga Bidara
3) Container Vessel-M.V. Bunga Seroja Dua

After the sea service,
i rejoined the academy for the 3rd year(Final year).


before being certified as an officer,
an oral examination will be conducted by the Marine Department.
After that examination,
i was sent to the sea again as a Fourth officer, serving onboard 
M.V. Bunga Pelangi Dua.
Promotion was given onboard, now holding the rank of a Third Officer.


to date today,
i've been serving as a Third Officer onboard
Just follow the table above,
Still a loooooong journey for me!!
Gambatte2!!!
M.V. Bunga Terasek and now onboard M.V. Bunga Mas 10~
