Salam w.b.t and
hello folks.
How are you guys
been doing? Alhamdulillah, I am doing fine. It is nearly end of January, and I
haven't post anything new since early of this year. Thus, in this entry, I will
make it short and sweet.
BOSIET, HUET, and other
survival thingy
I have completed all
the survival trainings last week. The course took 5 days, and it was great. I
learned a lot of things, basically, like, "How to keep myself in one piece
if something happen offshore?".
With the completion
of the training, I officially can go work offshore, specifically North Sea
(Yuhuu). On the last day of training, I had to escape from the helicopter that
made water landing. There were several situations (7 or 8 simulations, I forgot), controlled and
uncontrolled water ditching. In the uncontrolled water ditching, the helicopter
completely capsized and we had to free ourselves (HUET).
For me, it was quite scary
experience. I was struggling a bit. When that happened, you have to think and
act fast as well as don’t panic. In the simulations, we had one instructor with
us in the chopper and two divers standby in the pool.
I do ask myself, if
in reality, can I manage to escape safely? I hope all will go well.
"When do you want to
come home?"
That is the question
I always get from people; colleague, friends, and my mother. Honestly, I don’t
know. That’s the question which I don’t really have a definite answer.
I haven't got any
plan when I want to come back to Malaysia, for holiday of course. For now,
money limitation, as well as job. With the current downturn in oil and gas
industry, it makes me a little bit nervous to take things for granted, when
everybody else is fighting. Yeah, I think I will come back at some point, but
not at the nearest time.
Miss
When you are far
from family, you will miss a lot of family moments. I kinda feel left out
sometimes, but I think it is normal. It is similar situation when you are
studying at boarding school, the difference is this time, the distance is
thousands of miles.
Worry
I do feel worry
about the future, particularly Malaysian future. You can see, the leaders are
fail to fulfill their responsibilities truthfully. A lot of issues rise here
and there, crimes, unemployment level, cost of living getting pricey from day
to day, more and more pampered new generations, ignorance people, and many
more.
When scrolling down
the Facebook, various aspects can be seen. We, Malaysian are easily sidetrack
by many unimportant issues. Like, Dilwale, Qu Puteh sponsorship, entertainment,
and other crappy things. And, we forgot to focus on more paramount things, for
example, " what is the future look like for our next generation". I
don’t say I am so responsible person, but if you can see, that we are so busy
looking at bits and pieces of useless things.

| Malaysia, tanah tumpahnya darahku |
Even though I am not
in Malaysia, I feel sorry and afraid for those who are struggling just to live
in Malaysia. One day, I could be one of those who are struggling to live every
day and I don’t fancy that idea.
I think that’s all
for now folks. Take care and Salam w.b.t.
