Hi guys, Its been a long time that i have not blog anything stuff in egen. During these MIA period, i was out sailing with the merchant ship going round the world and learning things from the sailors. I set sailed on the 24th March and i returned to the shore of Singapore on 8th Oct. During this period, i learnt alot of stuffs, such as engineering and mental strength.

I would like to share my mental strength experience with all of you. This part is very interesting. At first when i was known that i am going to be attached to a merchant vessel to have my internship, i was excited. My mind kept telling me that this will be a highlight of my life. I have a positive mindset to go onboard but situations started to change when i was been told off by the engineers onboard. Btw i was attached to the engine dept. Due to my inexperience and lack of knowledge of operating machinery, i was been scolded all of the time. Most of the time, i was being ordered to mop, clean and wash the engine room. I was treated like a cleaner, instead of a engine cadet. Hmm... this lasted for 2 months. My emotions and feelings are at the low peak, i felt like i wana to go home and forget about the internship. Lucky enough that there are a few soul mates onboard to share my sorrows, if not i am not sure what will i be doing or thinking. This time, i began to reinenforce my positive mental attitude, btw practicing my routine. This did help me alot and in fact i was beginning each day with a state of happy and cheerful mindset. I passed each day with a positive learning attitude which helped mi to go through the toughest time that i can have in my life.

Though this description is short and simple, maybe some of you may not be able to understand what i am trying to tell you all. In a short and sweet sentence: "No matter what happens, positive mental attitude will help you to pull through" and "Tough times don't last but tough men do".
