Have you ever heard about La Juiceria ?

Yes, La Juiceria. It is a brand of cold-pressed raw juices which allows you to taste the real taste of juice. La Juiceria was born out of the passion to spread the word on juicing and how it can bring balance to our diet in this modern world. The benefits of juicing are endless so what are you waiting for?

Go for the nearest outlet and grab a bottle of juice !

There are various types of raw juices here and it is actually a combination of fruits and vege juice. So in other words, you may enjoy the benefit from various sources of fruits/veges in one bottle of La Juiceria.

Dragon Boat Race: Drummer, Paddlers n Helmsman

Hey Guys, I would like to dedicate this entry special for Dragon Boat since last week ALAM’s teams managed to put themselves at the same level with other great teams.

But what is Dragon Boat Race actually?

Basically Dragon Boat Race is a race involving normally 4 teams or more in a certain distance i.e. in Sungai Melaka the set distance is 250 meters and in Putrajaya Lake the set distance is 500 meters. But the boats are actually propelled by man-power! That’s what make it special as compared to other boat race.  This race is said originated from the great mainland Republic of China which has been held over for more than 2000 years.

Regarding this race, there are 3 major parts in the team which the combination will form a great team.

1.        Drummer

2.       Paddlers

3.       Helmsman

Drummer:

-          Drummer normally will be selected from the lightest paddlers. He/she will be the “Heart” of the team, he also will determine the pace/beat of each stroke. Drummer plays a big role in the team as the synchronization of the team depends on the beat produced by the Drummer. Other than that, Drummer also will secretly communicate with the Helmsman in determining the perfect timing to change the beat.

Drummer set beat through drum

Paddlers:

-          Paddlers will facing the drummer and they are the one who will put their strength on each stroke they made. The first row of paddlers is the most important as the pace/speed and synchronization are depends on them. Paddlers normally use standardize paddle which made up from woods or carbon fiber. Breathing plays a big role as it allows paddlers to focus on their strokes and not to lose strength drastically.

Helmsman:

-          Helmsman also known as steerman is the one who control the rudder in other meaning he will determine the heading of the boat. Helmsman will communicate with the drummer if he notice the team is falling behind and need to change their pace.

Helmsman set the course

There are few types of strokes but we in ALAM team only focus in A-Stroke type which allows faster stroke recovery and powerful stroke. The stroke is called as “A-Stroke” as the position of hands and paddle will form a shape of A in standby position.

Wanna try something new?

Art Lover?

You should visit Illusion 3D Museum Melaka located in Dataran Pahlawan Mall. This museum allows you to experience a new side of art and at the same time you can snap a very nice image of you and the art. The combination is so great as the art looks ‘alive’.

I would say the ticket price is quite high BUT if you are a student don’t forget to bring your student ID to get a half price discount. It cost us only RM16.50 per pax. I went there with my roommate, Afiq, Nasir and Adda the one and only girl (UiTM Student).

Say no more, enjoy the pictures!

CHRISTMAS DAY EVENT

Assalamualaikum and good evening guys... This is during the Christmas celebration on board my first ship, Seri Alam. During that day all ship's crew were given a holiday by our Captain, Alfrancis Ilao, a Filipino guy.

My Captain has asked the Chief Cook to served a good food. As you can see in the picture, there are plenty mouth watering food. We have grilled chicken and lamb. We have steamboat. For desert, there are plenty cakes.

The nice brown colour of grilled chicken 😍

The Secret Recipe's cake.. 😋

The drinks served...

The ingredients for steamboat..

The picture of the ship's crew.. The bald one is my Captain..

At night, my Captain has asked all four cadets including me to organised a game for the crew. We had no idea at first, then someone suggest us to play BINGO games and Dart. So, at that night we play together with all officers and crew onboard.

Engine cadet, Mailan take a selfie with all of us..

The winner with their hampers...

The winner of that BINGO games were given a hamper, all the chocolates and drinks in that hamper was shared together among us. It is one of the best moment during my first shipboard training. All the officers and crew were very helpful and kind to each other.

   Welcome back to our class blog fellow reader! I am gonna share a little of all the beautiful off shore vessels encountered when calling into port Aberdeen, Scotland. It iswide-regarded as the mother of all off-shore berths as thousands of offshore vessel calling into port for bunkers and other facilities provided. The large increase in harbor traffic reflects the upsurge in North Sea acitivity with special reference to oil drilling and exploration continues at a pace with significant numbers of support vessels required to service those endeavours.

   To be honest, being in one of Asia’s top offshore provider, was quite amazed by the size as well as deign of offshore vessels roaming in and out of Aberdeen Pocra Quay. That is truly the time I realized that we should never assume to be the best as the list never ends.

   Lemme walk you guys through a selection of fleet that I endeared the most!

Siem’s Offshore a Norwegian company’s very own offshore vessel, Siem Garnet

It may look not well maintained but it’s just too powerful in anchor handling to be left out. Salute Maersk for the brave venture!

DOF of Australian offshore company having their Skandi Sotra calling for berth at Pocra Quay, Aberdeen

Another vessel of DOF, Skandi Gamma

Norwegian’s Havila Jupiter leaving the port after topping up sufficient fuel

Certainly not to be missed out, French’s Bourbon Monsoon heading out as well 

Looks like the crew of Island vanguard is gonna have their share of chance to explore Aberdeen as their ship is due for intermediate docking

E.R. Georginia just right in front of us alongside. Awww, just look at that bridge, wish I could work in that space one day

And last my vessel, Tegle…can never miss this beast out, despite having a Singapore registered flag, it’s well versed in Europe due to previous merits of established work completion

   Those are just a few compared to all the other vessel photograph I have taken. That shows how many offshore vessels come into this port daily. Am truly fascinated by the architectural aspect of all these vessel and god speed, could the design of this vessels get any better? Anyway, thank you a thousand time s for reading and continue to support my class blog.

   Good afternoon everyone. Am amazed by the warm reception my class blog have received. It  turns out we have a lot of readers switching to our blog to read up on our experience ranging from around the world. Truly surprised yet humbly expressing gratitude for your support. This time round, am gonna talk about my time spent at Hyundai Heavy Industry (HHI) yard Ulsan, Korea. The name speaks for itself, this yard is no ordinary building gigantic floating platform as well range of ships being fabricated and assembled here itself.

Allow me to briefly give an insight of what I have witnessed here during my internship at sea.

First and foremost, Hyundai very own crane barge will be used to lift all shell plating for assembling as well as lifting other parts of ship

As you can see here, they have already fabricated certain parts of the ship with just assembling it left (Observed in pic is the amidship part of a bulk carrier). Could feel all alike a ship-birth place!

Extra additional stringer plating is brought over by sea via propelling barge to the assembly scene for convenience purpose.

First lift by the gigantic crane as observed from my ship’s bow. As per plan they will lift the upper hull first and align it in line with the bottom structure located  below before combining it

All these were meant to be seen in a discovery channel but I’m watching it live from my ship!

This is how it looks like when a part of the hull is combined, an extensive welding work will follow thereafter before another wave of combining other parts are carried out. Amazing isn’t it?

Other parts of ships being fabricated at the same time

   To be honest, I’m forbidden from taking pictures of the scene when at the yard due to some local authority requirements but just couldn’t resist at sharing it for knowledge of all readers how a ship is being built from scratch. Thank you all for taking your time to read…

   Good day fellow bloggers and blog readers! I would like to express deepest gratitude to all whom are reading my class blog especially mine. Haha…I have been sharing of the places I have visited during my internship at sea and today will add to the list of one particular place which I have fallen in love with. It’s an island first of all and it’s a Spanish conquistadore as in ruled by Spanish before. Any bells ringing? It’s the Islas de Canarias commonly referred to as Canary Island, located off coast of northwestern Africa.

   Well, I was lucky that the ship berthed alongside cruise terminal (nearest place to the city, saving the energy and time to walk) for almost three weeks for some repairs. Oh boy! Certainly I did put the situation to my own good use by taking time to explore the island as much as I could. These are the places I have visited during my stay there.

         

   I’m really hungry now so I’m gonna start with the buffet that I had just by the beautiful beach, Playa Las Canteras. Reasonable price and totally worth every penny.

Next up, lemme share some insight on Playa Las Canteras beach. Overlooking the beautiful ocean, two hotels, AC Hotel Gran Canaria and Hotel Cristina Las Palmas, both comes with an endorsement from Spain-Gran

canaria and are the perfect setting for a holiday in this cosmopolitan city. This area also boasts the city’s biggest shopping centre, Las Arenas with a wide range of shops, a mouth-watering selection of restaurants and snack-bars as well as a multi-screen cinema.

It just makes me wanna go to that place again looking at the pictures itself.

A big shopping mall next to the beach. How convenient that can be?

Think you have gotten fed up of beach, then think again. Next up is Playa de Laja of which it ‘s unique because of his grey sand. Not lying over here (see pic). 

  

Castillo de la Luz is next up on the list. This well-preserved fortress has been restored in 1998 and serves today as a cultural and exhibition center for national and international events.

Trust me, this is the first historical facet that I entered not feeling bored at all

   Hope that by looking into my experience at Canary Island , it will further encourage you to explore this place one day. Even, I’m looking at the possibility of revisiting this place in near future. I can assure you that it will be a place that you will fall in love with. That’s all for now, stay tuned for more on my travelling experience.
