Encouter Difficuties Thru Faith

Life cannot be smooth or calm as river. Life can be describe like a river . Imagine a river that sometime it can be calm like peace. Or sometime it can get rough passing thru the rapid. or sometime it can get low tide or high tide. The river that is calm doesn't mean it safe to swim or cross over. As the people in the interiors or those stay near the river always warm that the calm river, there must be a crocodile. So be careful. Or sometime the boat pass by the river will create the wave. And it depend how big the size of the boat. If the small boat, then the wave will be small. If the boat is big, then the wave will be big, and it can overturn the small boat or 'sampan'. Or sometime it can effect by low tide or high tide. If low tide, it make the boat difficult to pass or sail. But if high tide it can affect the village at the river bank. The river water also can be clear as crystal or muddy or even black.

Life is like the river. In cycle of life, from our childhood till our last day on earth, it can never be the same everyday. Even our every routine we do same job, but each second will be different. In life, it cannot be just the same all the time. Our life also cannot be calm all the time. Our heart cannot be calm or cool always. Unless we robot. Not to say mentally unsound, because mentally unsound also have the human feeling. Or sometime they will get angry or crazy. We can be cool or calm in our life, but until certain time, it will explode and it surely will made us angry, or sad, or very mad. Then we will try neither to blame our self or others.  When someone is hurting us, or make us angry, surely we will do something about it. Neither we get angry or mad with particular person, or whole group of people. Or someone is gossiping behind us, as we accidental listen to it. How do we fell about it? we may get hurt, or angry or no mood, or even we fell like the world is not fair to me.

In our life, there is always the problems and difficulties in our life. Some of the problems or difficulties cannot be solve just like overnight. Let us imagine.... One day, I when to see the doctor for my routine medical check up, and then when the results out, the doctor tell me that there maybe some mistake in the medical report. Then I when for re-do the medical test again. But the result still the same. So the doctor tell me that there some abnormal growth somewhere in my body. So the doctor ask me to calm because it still not sure neither it was cancer or tumor or just non harmful growth. When the doctor just mention the scary word - cancer, tumor or we just enter into our own 'fear factor' surely our heart will jumping up and down. We will ask what shall I do about it. All kind of questions is popping out in our mind. Some of the questions is logic, some even sarcastic questions. But what we will do while waiting for the final confirmation from the doctor before further treatment? Most of us will start to pray to God. No matter what religion, we will ask God. The first question will be - WHY....? We will take faith as our hope that it will be over or to help us pass the storm of our sickness. We will hopping that it will not be cancer or tumor. Or another situation maybe in financial crisis. One day, suddenly the world market when down. KLCI shot down like 45 degree below 0 and most of the share market loss. And all my money I invested burn like hell money. And within minute, the money gone like a wind. So then I start to pray. Pray to all kind of god. From god of fortune to god of wealth. even to god of kitchen or start praying to all kind religion. As long can hoping for miracle. Any kind god also never mind. so panic and hoping it will recover. Otherwise my family will start eat grass like cow (free ma). This is 2 scenarios that may happen to each of us. Hope it not happen.

Each of our human being is created to have this mysterious feeling of faith. Faith is something very mysterious in human life. Our faith will become stronger and stronger when difficulties arrive in our doorstep. Faith is like trust. or belief. or hope. Like we put in our trust to God. We belief in God or supreme being. In this world, there are many religion. Every second new religion is establish.  We will belief in our faith that through our faith it can over come our difficulties of our life.  Even our faith is as small as mustard seed, it shall overcome all kind of difficulties in our life. 

Day Off

Another 2 weeks pass and soon I be having my off for 2 weeks. But what am I going to do during my holiday. Maybe I should take a long day off. I was sick since Monday evening. But just recovery today. Just take few tablet of panadol. Even sick also need to work. Coz no one to replace my job until my partner back from his off day. I just want to have a good rest before I coming to work end of October.

Work before Sunrise till Sunset

Yes. Tomorrow is Sunday. It a rest day. But for me.... Not really a rest day. In my calendar there no such thing as Public Holiday. or even Sunday. My only Public holiday is when my turn to have 2 weeks off from my work. That mean completely off and no phone call. But when my turn to work for 2 weeks, there will be no peace and rest. Work like 24 a day for 14 days. But some how I like the work. Even I have to wake-up at 4 am in the morning. My schedule of work is before the sunrise i will start my day. And it end until end of the day. 

Life in Logistic

Almost 2 weeks I been in Bintulu since the 1st Oct. And another few more day I will off from my duties and heading back to my resting place. My mind is fell tired and exhausted. I been working like 24 hours. Even when I sleep, my hp must be next beside me. In case any emergency call from the rig. Who know, anything can be happen. I just really need a break. Maybe 2 week rest is enough for me. Otherwise to long holiday can destroy my body into laziness. It hard for me to start my engine especially after the long break. It need time and slow motion to gain back my workaholic. Only after the few day, then I can really back into my mood of working. 

My job in logistic field is one of the busy and hectic type of job I can say. Logistic is about movement from one location to another location. Neither is cargo or personnel. It can be myself moving from one location to another location. For example, going to work everyday from my house to office. Or when how to bring my CD to my friend oversea? All this required bit of planning even it already in our daily routine.  In life, not everyday be the same day. Don't expect that tomorrow will be the same as today. Or next week will be the same as this week. Or even next year be the same as this year. Thing will never be the same. Even lifeless being like metal will even get rusty next year. 

I just don't know why I ended up in this field. From the first day of my work life, I been in the logistic section. Until to this day, still in logistic section. I never studies logistic before. Logistic study was not very famous during my study year back in the 90's. The word 'logistic' only appear in subject like management or in marketing only. But just a small scope of it. It want to study logistic, it would be best start with Supply Chain or Warehousing. Because it all related with each other. But for me to know about supply chain, warehousing and logistic is because it start from my experiences in work field. I been working in timber company. That is how I know the 20' and 40' container. My superior even ask me to measure the length of the container. hahaha. Until I work with 100% logistic and forwarding company. It about everything I want to know. From cargo movement to vessel movement. From custom clearance to vessel clearance. From import to export. All kinds of equipment I seen before. Even soya bean or corn maize I been cleared. Until I fully join in oil and gas company, I still in logistic. Guest the word logistic will be in my mind forever. 

Time & Mind

At last, I have the time to breath and bit time for me to write in my blog after a week long busy day and night. When during my 2 weeks off from my work, time seem to be very fast, it seem like a brink of eye. But when come to my 2 weeks working, time seem to be very slow. Why? This is because, when during my off day, I tend to think not to go work. Lazy. But during my 2 weeks working, I was thinking that time may go fast so I may off again. But somehow, when I try to think, or to make time fast to pass, it seem to be very slow. In fact, the time is still normal. Still 24 a day, 7 day a week. Only our mind make it seem slow.
