Day 3 – Monday Blues 🌅
This is a most common photo seen on every seaman mobile phone.
Monday blues… Its real.
Yesterday night, me and my friends do the karaoke night. Makes my adrenaline rise, then I sleep late. 😪
It is tough to get proper sleep while working at sea. 6 hours of sleep is a bless. 4 hr is normal. Especially as a watchkeeper.
I work 12-4 shift. Morning and noon. +-2hr when requires. I'm tired. Actually it is a cumulative fatigue gains for all these years at sea.
As a seaman, We sacrificing alot, for our family. But, no one cares.
Finally, it is about you. You and only you. Especially, as a man. If you shows weakness, people will laugh at you. If you works hard, they said it shall be like that. Man... Be proud of yourself. Be strong 💪🏼
What I gonna do? What is my plan? I have a lot in my mind. I need to writes. And... Here I am.
Day 3 – 03rd November 2025.
This blog is about myself, let me focus for next 5 years. Here I will jot about anything I feel, and any plan I want. What is my goal? 🎯
My main plan, as always be, how to quit this career, and be free.
I'm not downgrading myself. Or even this career. I experience a lot, and actually it is worth it to be at sea. But, as a seaman, I still need to think about the future. Especially as what I have done at the past.
My main mistake is literally about my money management.
I keep reading, I keep watching videos, to motivate myself. You know what, I push hard last 5 years, to complete all my 'stupid' loan. And I have done it last ship.
The only thing is, while holiday last 3 months, I need to swipe my credit card to survive. Now, back to step 1. Complete it this ship, and next year, will be my year.
Start saving, start invest, start doing side income to help me for my future.
Lets re-think. Lets Re-start.
Tomorrow I will share my plan, and hope I can stick with it.
Wish me goodluck 🤝 Adios~
