My PBL 456 motorcycle

This motorcycle triggered my memories where I used to have one with the reg no of PBL 456 while working as a QC in BBraun as well as taking my A level laws & economics in CIMA College and all the struggles faced.     I still can recall how I needed to rush to capture the evening classes at 7.30 hours in Penang town area every 3 days in  a week from my Bayan Lepas working place with normal shift hours especially when I had to do overtime (OT) to complete my task. During Ramadhan month, I have to break my fast alone on motorcycle at the motorcycle park and performed my prayer at the alleyway.   I can still recalled the day when it was a very poured of heavy rains in the morning, where my blue jeans and diadora shoes were totally soaked when I reached the office.  It was so cold and I was badly shivering. Thus, Puan Azizah, one of the Senior QC advised me to go home and change new clothes instantly.   

My 1st Ship as Lumut Pilot

Image
My 1st ship as the Lumut Pilot was to unberth  the MV Dugi Otok which was alongsided at the Malayan Flour Mills (MFM) Jetty. However, the operation was delayed due to tidal requirement to unberth.              It was SOP to check the fwd and aft drafts before boarding the vessel. The vessel was in her light draft and her stbd anchor was used during her berthing. Finally, the vessel  was able to unberth the wharf upon to tidal permitted and her anchor was brought home.   However, due to the sudden strong developing of flooding current pushing the vessel towards shallow water, the stbd anchor was let go again to hold the vessel's movement instantly.  After ensuring that the vessel was free from any imminent danger , she was finally piloted out of Dinding River safely.

Ketenangan Yang Abadi

Di dalam aku mengkaji dan mencari erti ketenangan yang abadi menerusi keilmuan mengenali diri....aku menenangkan diri untuk berterusan mencari ketenangan....aku dibawa dari satu pintu ketenangan ke pintu ketenangan yang lain....jauh aku medalaminya sehingga hanya kedengaran hembusan nafas menghidupkan jasad....aku berterusan dibawa jauh kedalam ketenangan di dalam ketenangan......sehingga aku ters ... edar hubunganku dengan dunia sudah terputus....sukar digambarkan susana ketika aku melihat dan merasainya.....umpama tiada lagi isyarat dengan hubungan dunia.....ketika hatiku berdetik berkata, 'matikah aku?' aku kembali semula ke alam duniaku.....aku masih bernafas......aku masih aku.....aku bersujud syukur diatas kenikmatan yang amat terhebat ini yang diberikan walaupun hanya seminit dunia.   Kini aku sedar ketenangan yang dicari ada padaku. Tersimpan jauh kedalam jasad. Terletak elok ditempatnya. Aku perlu sentiasa praktis belajar mengeluarkannya agar ianya sentiasa mudah
