Life is an unexpected journey which Allah give to us.Appreciate it and live life the fullest.Such a great day

Assalamualaikum to all reader.Today I’m writing a story on our trip to Gua Batu Maloi Tampin N9.

This trip is organised by our very own beloved lecturer Ma’am Hanim for our Leadership Class’s Project.

Our Class DNS 21 C joined with DNS 24 participating in this event but for DNS 24 this trip is the second time that they went so they already familiar with the route and all.

It was quite and adventure for me and my classmate. Enjoying the outdoor and getting soaked and bruised together. Going up and down hill,crawling inside the cave was a hell of a ride.Most importantly the knowledge that was given by the facilitator and guiders.They were making sure that our trip was safe and secure and all time.

We have a great time as this semester is our last.Like a retreat from all the stressful environment in ALAM.Hope to get another opportunity like this in the future.In shaa Allah.

That’s it I hope everyone enjoy reading my story.More story yet to come.

Organizing

Organizing

*Definition
To arrange things such as schedules, work, etc into an ordered and structured manner.
Organizing things also helps make a system easier to be accessed and understand.

*Importance of Organizing
The main point of being organize is that it helps benefit the specialization. While organizing
all the activities for jobs to be done, people tend to become experts over time and help
accomplish maximum work. This way the organisation gets the benefits of the specialization.
Furthermore, it encourages growth and diversification. A systematic division of work and
consistent delegacy of authority facilitate taking up of new activities and meeting new
demands. By being organized, one becomes well prepared for tasks as their required to learn
to be on time for events. It also helps stimulate innovation and creativity. It helps people to
think in a creative manner and to think out of the box to make sure it’s different from others.
Besides that, it helps build a good human relation when the organization is related to working
environment. One is needed to obtain soft skills in order to make sure a task runs smoothly.

*Stages of organizing
Firstly, identify and divide the work. You start by dividing your work into small parts and
identify which member is well suited to accomplish the task. With the division of jobs, work
becomes very smoothly and systematically. Next, you start grouping the jobs and separate the
departments of the work. Related and similar jobs are grouped together under one
department, this way one will not be confused and it will look neat and tidy. Thirdly, you
start assigning the job to people who is capable to finish the task. Each person is assigned to a
duty that matches his/her skills and qualification. Lastly, a report is done. Once a group are
assigned to their jobs, a leader is then recruited, this then helps members under the leader to
update their leaders with their jobs. The leader then makes sure that all task is being
accomplished on time.

In conclusion, being organise is important as it helps one become responsible and well
organised. By having an organised plan and mind set, you become more determined to finish
your task and not procrastinate om your assigned tasks. “There are people who make things
happen, there are people who watch things happen. To be successful, you need to be a person
who make things happen.” – Jim Lovell

Next is Port Dickson 🌹

Hi we meet again.So maybe you’re wondering what happened after the last blog entry am I right?
So this is the sequel 😂

So after the Melaka visit.We keep on connecting and chatting to each other.Her sweet and annoying ness keep on making me become closer to her like a puzzle joining to form a picture.Suddenly she whatsapp me telling me either I’m busy or not.I tell her no then she asked whether i want to join her for a project that she carry out for her course and it was held at PD or Port Dickson.

So i agreed to meet her.Saturday morning it was a nice day i mean awesome day the weather was great.I drove my Myvi from Melaka to PD and arrived at 1030hrs.Our rendezvous is at the new Mc Donalds near Shell petropump.She was very pretty with her cute shirt awhhh.My face was blush but i kept it hidden.She was having her breakfast and i surprise her.Later that afternoon we went to the beach for her project and finish before asar.So in the mean time we were having our second date.

Meeting her for the second time makes me realise that she is something else.She opened up herself to me sharing stories.We ate Char Kuey Tiow King which was awesome.We talk and talk like there’s no tomorrow.I thought i will never felt this way again but with her i feel something that makes  me happy.We spend the night at PD.Before we hit the sack,We have something to tell each other because both of us were wondering the same thing.I was very nervous at first but i played it cool then the word fall into place.She said that she have feelings towards me and it is a sincere feeling.I was shocked but not that shocked and I nodded and said to her that i also felt the same way.

That's the story simple isn't it.That's all hope you guys enjoy.Bye

My first date with you❤️

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time's forever frozen still

From the song I’m going to tell you a story on how I met this beautiful young girl

It is just a short story

First of all her name is Nur Natasha Aina bt Mohd Azzian.She is a Seremban girl.She’s my age

She currently intern at JKR.

She is a sweet and sensitive girl.We met on Twitter where she dm me with a question.Her friend asked whether I’m single or taken because I recently broke up with my fiancée so i was kinda devastated.It’s a long story.Then she was very shy at first because she thought that I’m a different level of a guy because i studied at ALAM.Not exactly.So we get to know each other for quite some time and honestly we have a lot in common.

One fine day we got the opportunity to meet when she came to Melaka with her cousin.So we meet up i drove them like a chauffeur around Melaka.We have a great time seriously.From 12 PM until 12 AM. I don’t know but i get this feeling inside that tells me that this girl is something because when i see her i feel happy and calm.She has a wonderful personality and a great person.Deep down inside i feel love but I don’t want to confess because it’s too early to commit to a relationship. 

The mixed feelings inside built up some questions in my mind either she is the right person for me or just another consequence.

Good day and Assalamualaikum

By the grace of All mighty god Allah SWT,I’m blessed with good health so that i can write another entry on my blog. So today i want to share about my class the DNS 21 Alpha.

Although now I’m currently joining as DNS 21 Charlie but the original is 21 is better.The reason why i say so is because we have been through tough times together and too much memories i cherish with them as my comrades and my nakama.

I’m the one and only in my batch who came back from sea and the others who are same as me will return back on june.So there are still a few of us will be at ALAM finishing up our studies and most of them are at sea.Although we've been friend for a year but the bond that we created were irreplacable. The legendary cabin 306 was a hell of a cabin full of joy and laughter.Sweet memories that i will never forget.

We all have our different way of finishing this cadetship programme.I have my own reason for going to sea earlier than them.We still keep in touch as they say true friends are never apart maybe in distance but never in heart.See you when i see you guys.Thank you for reading my entry today.It is a appreciation post to my friends the 21 Alpha.I miss those bloody buggers.True story.Pen off.

That’s all from me.Merçi beacoup

Sunset at sea

Assalamualaikum and Good day seafarer

Here i am continue on sharing my story about my sea life.The topic that i want to share for today is about sunset.

As you all know and love when seeing sunset at any beach.Mesmerize by the beauty of the scenery that makes you feel at ease and calm.Watching sunset is a therapy for those who suffer from depression and heartbreaks.I know because i've been in that situation.

But for me as a deck cadet officer onboard,the sun is use for many purpose especially for navigation.Fascinating isn't? My officer trained and teached me the art of navigating using the sun as we seafarer called it celestial navigation.Using the right equipment onboard to take the bearing of the sun to get the position of our vessel.Cool right? Not many job got the chance to apply nature as the tool of their work.So my job normally starts at 1800 when the sun is about to set,taking the bearing of the sun to calculate the sunset time by using azimuth method.The best part of it as a muslim i can calculate my prayer time using the sunset calculation.For me,watching sunset at sea is the most amazing thing in the world.The scenery is way different than watching it at shore.To see it you must go to sea.

How i miss this moment onboard  MT ORKIM POWER

Gyro repeater stand by for taking the bearing of the sun. source :google

Inside the azimuth circle lies a little sun . source :google

For the past 1 year time at sea holding the rank deck cadet onboard has taught me to become a competent person and skillful training officer.I'm very grateful to have such an amazing officer especially Malaysian Officers from ALAM.I hope that one day i'll be like them or maybe better so that the legacy will continue and put the malaysian name well known worldwide.

Thank you for reading my blog, that's all from me today.Sign off

Hi guys,Good day seafarer

My first post will be about my seafaring life working on a tanker ship.My vessel is a product tanker 7000 dwt new coastal voyage flagged Port Klang Malaysia.As a deck cadet onboard.It was a hectic life and full of unresolved experience that life cannot describe.For short, working at sea is totally different from working onshore.

During my 6 month contract,i have learn so many things and most of it are related to what i’ve learn in the academy.From theory to practical was hard at first but as my parents said “kayuh slow slow you’ll get there eventually “.

MT Orkim Power is the name and my post title is her call sign. A 106.68 m in length and chartered by Shell South East Asia.Maintaining her was hard but she is a good vessel.Lesser problem than my previous vessel.Enough about the ship,now i’ll tell you about my life as senior deck cadet onboard.

First day onboard as a cadet i must report to the superior which is the master and chief officer.Taking over the duties of the off signed cadet as per company manual.The chief officer will assign me to do watches and assist the OOW (officer of the watch).My first 3 month i spend duty with my third officer from 4-8 and my final 3 month was with second officer.All was nice and they are knowledgeable and very competent with their work.I’m so blessed.Spending the whole contract with guided and taught by the chief officer was very stressful yet so amazing because taking the knowledge of the first mate.It was truly awesome being a cadet of an great chief officer.As usual morning daily work I followed The Bosun and all the deck crew to do maintenance to the ship.

On 8/1/2019 I signed off from her and I already miss her and all the people who taught how to become a seafarer.Hoping for the best and all the knowledge and experience i will cherish.In shaa Allah.There’s a lot of story i wish that i could tell in just one post but maybe I’ll tell on my next post.

Last but not least thank you for reading my story i hope you enjoyed it.It’s not much but there’re more to come. Sincerely pen off from your friendly neighbourhood seafarer.
