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…

a day a france..

the ship is not here yet..so had a night stay at a france in a town called Martigues. Its a small and quite town setted at the southen part of france.The town sits astride the Canal de Caronte, which will lead to the medi sea, its a very nice and colourful town...i would say tat its a kind of quite town and its good for relaxing and have to enjoy some franch inner part...most of the shops closes at sunset..so its quite in the late evening...had a walk around the town for an hour because its too quite n felt unsafe..so had to head back to hotel...its good that the hotel im in had wifi..so can online for the last time before set foot out to the sea...the ship is scheduel to berth at about 2000hrs so im all pack and set to join this ship and to start a new journey ahead of me...may I have a smooth sailing, learn quick and be a full 3rd mate...

Bon au revoir....

My journey begins….

My heart had a feeling of heavy but my mind was to get started with my work and life,as the body just have to follow one n not the other or both. I am not willing to leave at this time but its not my call..but just to follow again…always heavy heart to leave my lovely hometown, family and friends.. So tats it im off again and this time will be for about 6-7 months..but I’ll sure will be back by November. this time my flight route is from Singapore to Amsterdam then only to Marseille it will be taking about 15 hrs of flight time in total…this is my first time to France so im quite worried about how to communicate with them, its quite hard and challenging to go to a foreign place…as per the schedule I’ll be on land till the 19th be4 boarding to the ship…my ship name will be called eagle stealth. Finally just to wish everyone happy birthday, happy holiday, happy anniversary and happy marriage..i’ll won’t be around or my wishes maybe not reach on time…all the best in everything and May God bless you all….
