Finally, the days of cramming for exam is over and a moment of crowning glory, achievement for having passed the final stage of my sea career.
Yes, indeed. I am talking about me clearing the final hurdle that have given me the licence or "Certificate of Competency" as a Master / Captain of a ship.
After seven long years or if you decide to count the day I started sailing, it will be 13 years. Yes, it is a tad long. But the victory is sweet. An achievement in life that I can tell my children/grandchildren for days and days...
An achievement which my mum will be proud of. At least she saw her son become one of the rare professionals in SG.
And it marks the day where I can end my bouts of endless studies. Not to say that I will burn my books, notes, but the general idea is that I can take a break from studying since Jan this year.
But the victory will not be long, as I am now in the midst of working ashore as an operations manager, the road to come is still long. I still have a long way to go.
So much for this victory post. Tune in for more.

Hiyah Cpt HJ,
1st of all, congra! Indeed it's what you have always wanted and you done it. Friends who know you, we all are happy for you.
Now that you have accomplished the position of Cpt, don't you think you should accomplish another mission? Finding your love boat? Or in this case, love cruiser? Heehee…
