Here and there…

Its my last 60 days…bouncing back and forth from one corner to the other of the North Atlantic Ocean…I have push myself towards the limit…taking in all the pressure at work and life without much to do out at sea…I have finally realize that its what I’ve got myself into…can’t complain much cause its what I’ve chosen…but still doing fine..cause got to go and pass lots of places..perhaps if there is another chance I’ll go for another career…

Unpredictable…

Haiz…through of will have a goodbye to UK but who knows aft the discharging at Portland,US our ship was send back to UK area again…but its towards the Baltic sea…well at lease I can have the experience to get to a new place passing through places I never thought I would pass.…through the journey across the atlantic ocean was horrible…with all the heavy rolling and dense fog…with a full long 14days journey and 8 hrs of advance at last the ship came to a stop…was a good things for everyone also…all phones was active again with the reception from the nearest land…Russia, Denmark, Finland, Estonia and Germany….been going here and there…its also 3 and a half months for me already…just pass half of my contract.

Across the ocean,,,,,

The last port of call for me in United Kingdom is Edinburgh, Scotland. After this we will be heading up north towards north sea then west across the Atlantic ocean head towards United State, this journey will take about 9 days…and weather forecasted that it will be a rough weather ahead of us…well crossing the Atlantic ocean for me this is the second time…my first time was using the south route, but this time was using the north route…going to US was like everyone dreams on this ship…as things over there were cheaper but many preparation needed to be done before enter into US waters..I believe that through 9 days things will be prepared and a smooth sailing will be awaiting for us …for me I just hope that can go to more new ports for me…like those ports in Canada and US…really wish can pass the statue of liberty and take a visit to new York city…heh…well lets put our engine on full speed ahead…goodbye UK and US here we come…

southampton....

its a day pass my birthday...so im also quite lucky that this was a good port and the stuff here consider convenient...thought it was quite a tiring day...wake up at 1.30am in the morning start work till 8am because of wanna go n look around the city so went out till 5pm came back...have not much sleep at all...but i guess sometime is worth it...just a the end of the day i can make another place that i have visited...
so after my work n doing some research finally got the best choice which i think is worth...took the bus paid for 6pound for 2way n it takes about 1 hour to reach the city...if i took a cab then would be 5times the price but will took only 20mins time...reach to the west quay mall was quite big n there was program here n there..so it was quite happening also...just as this time it was the school mid-term holiday...so the town is kinda packed....coming back to the ship then con't to work again...haiz...but anyhow...enjoyed the day a the town area...well its a long n tired day for me...

anOther sea area…

at last I can cover another sea area of the world…which is the black sea…the color wasn’t black its just the water density is more…I guess its enclose in a area…but well in order to get into the black sea we spent about 2 weeks time in waiting and transiting….but I guess the waiting is worthy…and a place which I pass its really nice and beautiful that is Istanbul…hope to pay a visit there some day…along the strait the east side is consider the asia side and the west side is consider the Europe side, thought both of it is still the same…the bridge is the short-cut which connect the asia continent and Europe continent…when transiting in din have the chance to take picture…hope that when transiting out tat time got the chance to take some of the landscape picture of istanbul…

First destination…

Aft departing from Lavera France, my ship had the orders to set sail towards Egypt..and it took about 4 and a half days journey to reach there…thought of can getting down a pay a visit to the town called Alexandra…upon reaching only know that the place of loading the cargo is about 5 miles off the shore..so there is no shore leave for everyone…well as we travel south easterly the weather seem to be getting warmer…and I guess its also the change of the season as well…don really like the hot hot sun..thought for working is more comfortable as no need of wearing all the winter clothing… but the intensive heat from the sun really felt like been burn…well as time pass I am also getting use with the people and environment..as my ship got 9 nationality men and women…
