full ahead both engines!

seems like time have been crawling very slowly during this month. maybe because the earth is in perihelion, but then this is june, summertime in the northern hemisphere, and still summer forever in this equatorial region. what was that(sounds like i am talking in my sleep, again!) pointless and making no sense. not until i said something that links to the fairer gender,mmmmmmm.

that is when an issue start to exist. why???? i don’t know why. if i can interpret a dream like reading a book, that would be nice. mmmmmppphhh. i did remember the pointless poem(to me lah!) written on a pencil box, owned by my classmate.

heigh ho! heigh ho! time creep but slow , i looking you so long, my shadow very long.

that box was manufactured in japan(that explains the pointless english, perhaps a translation of a japanese kindergarten kid’s poetry).

until now, i didn’t quite understand what  the poetry was all about.my long term memory is killing me again. how could i remember such a thing when i needed to remember something more important like the international convention for preventing collisions at sea?

i can remember some petty things but can’t even recall something more important. if human do have the ability to defragmentise and restructure their memories(just like the computer do), i will be the first to do that. if unlucky, i might go nuts: all info 404, not found!!! i have heard or read on something to enhance your facts and data being stored in the brain, some sort like that.

dead slow ahead again and again. even the adsl line is at the slowest in my office area. or should i live life at a slower pace. fear of being left behind? missed the bus? maybe, maybe not. peer pressure?kiasu-ness? mmmm,maybe.  have to take it anyway . so far i have not been living to anybody’s standard: i don’t buy what my neighbours buy, i don’t drive cars like what my neighbours drives,so on and so on. non comformity, to simplify it.i don’t even bother about the new AF4 season(but velvet looks nice:if a car; she’s not built for speed,she’s built for comfort).

irrelevant title? mmmmm, maybe. well, today story is really an old one. but then, an untold story is always a new story. finally after so much anticipation and heartache, the first patrol vessel was finally handed over to the royal malaysian navy and commisioned ,K.D. Kedah. 5th june 2006 was  a very historic day as this is the first New Generation Patrol Vessel(NGPV) MEKO 100 class(multi role all weather) to be commissioned in the royal malaysian navy.this is when the red ensign(merchant ship ensign) was changed to white ensign(royal malaysian navy ensign).

for the commisioning ceremony, we were invited and for the first time in my whole life, as a VIP. i’ll cherish that forever. so did i turned up with teal green baju melayu with songket penuh instead of the usual lounge suit that is favoured by most attendees(dress code: lounge suit or national costume). it turned out that only 3 persons with national costume.

my other half keep asking whether i am going to a marriage solemnising ceremony or ship’s commisioning the night before. butang baju melayu aku mana?looked myself in the mirror, well still dashing, but not intimidating,fast but not furious(maybe that is the way those ladies are looking at me). the yard’s project manager was dressed in baju melayu as well. instead of the whole navy and yard people insisting that i looked like the bridegroom, i told them that i am only the best man for the project manager. hehehehe….

K.D. Kedah ,may god bless the ship, all the officers and crew, for the services to the king and the country. to all my colleagues, may the force be with you. looking forward to the next patrol vessel, pv pahang commisioning.
