To write a blog post actually is tiring. We need ‘idea’, we need to be consistent, and at the same time be motivated.

I know nowadays there is a lot of AI tools helps us in writing. Just type the phrases, and it will 'come out' naturally.

But thats not the reason I wrote in this blog. I want to be free. I want to write whatever I want, whatever i feel.

This is like my social media.

Once a while, I will look at my stats. I see someone reading my notes. And it was you 🫵🏼

Thanks. 🥲

But it doesn't matter actually. I writing this actually to escape from social media. I feel more refresh. Nobody actually notice about that.

I am only think about myself and my family.

So, they are the most matter to me.

Btw, if you are here for the first time, english is not my mother language.

The only thing is, I am a seaman, I work in multinational company. I've work with Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Ukrainian, Rusian, Bangladeshi, Ghanian, Indonesian.

And ofcourse, as I have travelled around the world, 🌍, English is one of the most used language. And not everyone fluent with that. Even currently I am at mexico, and the ship running in Gulf of America.

Alright, back to my topic... Idea 💡... Where to find it?

Nothing, as long as I am alive, and awake, I always have something to talk, something to right.

It will eventually comes to my mind, and I will jot it down, here...

It really helps to reduce my brain fog.

Actually, I have not enough sleep. Yesterday, vessel was alongside at the FPSO and I sleep only 4 hours.

As I work on shift, once I finish my duty, I will take rest again, and sleep maybe another 4 hours. It is tough to sleep in 2 different part.

As a human, I feel that we need to have continuous sleep at least 6-7 hours. Thats how me can stay focus, stay awake and be healthy.

Sleeping is one of the simplest way to be healthy. You need to rest, and you need to be recharge.

Don't ever neglect that, trust me, even I am 35 years old, I feel that I'm old. 👴🏼

Sleeping makes me young again. 😌

Enough for today... I feel sleepy now 😪

Adios~

Today, I feel like to share my ‘Hardcore Diet’ that I learn from the pass. It is tough, but it is really works. 😎

The method is simple. If you want to drop your weight really fast in one month, focus on this.

Slow method,

Breakfast -Drink Coffee and butter. Lunch – 2x egg with salad Dinner -2x egg with salad

In 1 month, you can lose weight within 5-10kg.

Fastest method,...

Take only coffee with butter for your daily energy and fasting 3 days. Do little bit of workout, you can lose 5kg in 3 days. 🏃🏼‍♂️

Basically you starve yourself, and then autophagy take place.

Just try to search this method in our good old 'google'.

I've done this, and plan to redo that every time my weight rebounce.

One more simplest way is, one meal a day – OMAD. Focus on high protein food and reduce carbs.

But combine with coffee butter, it really helps in controlling the hunger.

To maintain insanity and avoid craving, take one spoon of apple cider vinegar with water. 🍎

It really helps.

Disclaimer, this method hard, the result is fast. Consult with doctor if you have any health issue.

I like to do this because once I see my weight reduce, my tummy becoming smaller, I gain more motivation than normal.

Then continue with briskwalk, 7000-10000 per day and weight lifting in alternate day.

This is my only method I follow to control my weight.

Once I get my ideal weight, I can adjust with healthy food and once in a while, 'Cheat day' 😬

So, I still not manage to do 'hardcore 3 days version' since starting back this month. The only thing, I still restrict my food intake within 4 hour windows and the result still satisfying me.

Will continue my 'diet' today 🏋🏼‍♂️

Adios ~

Planning will never helps without execution.

But if you fail to plan, you are plan to fail.

My main problem is keep planning without doing any thing. “Shiny Object Syndrom”, my real problem 🫠

So, this is my day 4 of writing.

I did not have any plan. I just want to do it. Everything in my mind, makes me overthinking. So, I decide to write. And now.., here I am. 😎

Lets plan...

Most of my plan ruin from day 1. Is it a plan? Or a goal? Or a Target.

One of my plan is about dieting. My height is 1.72m, my weight is 83kg. Slightly overweight as per my BMI. I manage to lose weight last year down to 73kg, then it increase back 10kg.

My weight is light yo-yo. Keep bouncing. Up and down. I have one method of “hardcore diet”, in which... I will share the method in this blog, later... 😌

Why I share it now? Because I failed, again. I plan to start on 1st November 2025, same day I wrote my first blog post. And I failed again on that same day. 🥲

But It doesn't matter, as I know the trick. But... As I'm growing older, my back pain start attacking me, my knee start making 'sound'. My metabolisme reduce, day by day.

I've seen lot of people in my age (35 years old) getting sicks, cholestrol level increase, high blood pressure, obese and so on...

“Health is wealth.” Take care of your body as it will take care of you. That my continuous mission, my goal. My 2026 resolution is same. To be healthy, to be fit.

And... Back to my plan.

My financial goal, which again, I will share it later.

The purpose of today blog post is about my 'general' plan. Especially about this blog.

I plan to update it in daily basis, as the day I wrote this, I've been away from social media for last 10 days. First, it feels uncomfortable, now, I feel better. I feels that, I gain more of free time without doom scrolling the social media and read toxic comment, and be in “negative” state.

I keep mumbling... But, thats my plan. Wrote what ever I want, jot down anything I feel, anytime...

I will start with this blog, and slowly build another blog, and start for building business by focusing on blogging as first priority.

And by the way, it is not easy. To stay focus and stay on track.

Wish me good luck guys. 🫡

And., Thanks for reading till here. You guys are awesome 🫰

Adios~

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~

I just want to write. Lets continue…

Who am I?

I am a seaman, 35 years old. I work onboard a crude oil tanker. Sailing through high seas, visiting continent by continent. Carrying one of the 'black gold' in the world.

Yes, I have been sailing for last 17 years. I have been to asia, middle east, europe, america, africa and few more. 🌍

I am proud of myself, but at the sametime, the loneliness kills me. Maybe few years more. Thats what I wish. I earn a lot, but feels like all down to the drain. I have nothing now.

For this year. I'm restarting my life.

I've done a lot of mistakes. Mostly financially, then comes to family.

I lost everything. But Am I too late?

Nope, I believe I can come back stronger. I have career, I can re-earn back. Give me 5 years. Lets redo everything. Not restarting from zero... I got experiences, I got knowledge. 🧠

Whats right, whats wrong.

I married again last 3 months. With my new wife. I prays, she's the one.❤️

This is my new beginning. Maybe another story later.

I am writing this because I am overthinking alot.

I work at sea, far from people for 6 month. I am struggle mentally. But I know, life is hard. For everyone.

Those at land, earn lesser than me. They strive harder than me. Everyone have their own challenge. Their own struggle.

I give myself a challenge.

Lets writes for 100days.

Today is day 2. Sunday, my lazy day.

So, what is my plan?

We talk again tomorrow 🫡 Adios ~

Today, 1st November 2025.

The day I start writing.

Just call me Wan. I bought this domain name maybe 5 years ago and still doing nothing about it. Even I have subscribe this blogging platform, write.as pro for 5 years, since last year. 🤣

I plan to buy domain under my name. I don't know, maybe I am still uncomfortable to talk about myself in public.

First of all, I am from Malaysia. English is not my mother language. I'm sorry for any grammar mistake in this blog. I know about AI – or even grammaly to correct my words but I just want to be free. Express my words in the form of writing. ✍🏼

I want to write, maybe because I am overthink too much. Maybe by tomorrow, I will write more about myself.

This is just a random blog, about me, about anything. As per the blog name, Jotdown. Just jotdown it here. To clear my mind. To be more free.

Actually, I am quitting my social media for almost 1 week. I just delete all social media apps in my phone.

I feel that social media is toxic, wasting a lot of my precious time. Make me procastinate. Reading comment, make me being more negative.

So, what did I do? For the time being, I am just passing my time reading google news and watch some youtube video. And gaming, just to finish my backlog game.

Then, I remember about this blog.

After few days later, I feel like, lets write.

No plan, nothing. Just do it. 😎

So, thats it for today. If I feel more, will come back here to write. Adios~
