Anchorage
at Perth, Australia
Not
a very lively situation right now as this imposed water discipline really takes
its toll on the laundry. Yesterday it was announced that laundry will be open
till 12pm tomorrow, really good timing considering that my personal clothes are
already piled up and need washing, I hurriedly went to the long line in the
laundry just have my clothes washed. Since there was a long line at the washing
machine I decided to leave my clothes there for a while since and attend to
other matters first, I can't be there always and cant waste my time just
waiting for the long queue and guarding my clothes - I'd be back in the morning as there is long
line on that hour and besides they said its still up to 12noon that they will close
the laundry.
In
the morning , at 3am I was surprise to see that the washing machine switched
off., and not only that I was expecting that the laundry room is still open
till 12 noon. Guess I'd be proceeding to washing my clothes again by hand
(which I'm not very used to ) . Good thing I had plenty of clothes on my
luggage.
In
any case I should have known better that an "uwak's" words cannot be
trusted in the first place., and it's always deviates from what they say, if
there is an "Uwak" onboard , expect a lot that they're nothing but
trouble and they will make a person's life miserable as humanly possible. As
far as I'm concerned , "Uwaks" are an obnoxious people and very
repulsive . Europeans don’t like them, Australians don’t like them , Heck even
Filipino's even don’t want them as well.
Back
then when I was still in CSM, water discipline was never a serious problem and Europeans have better understanding on a
person's necessity on work and laundry is always open even at anchorage. But
anyway that was then and this is now , no matter how much I think about the
good old days - I still have to deal with this problem and situation on what
the "uwak's" have caused.
In
other news….
Looks
like that Ship officers here are totally hyped by the incoming Vetting's
inspections and to my puzzlement they kept insisting to the crew that we should
take a CBT lecture about "Cyber Security" (which is another worthless
piece of ocean garbage, wait ! Practically all CBT's are ocean garbage to begin
with). I found out later that the real reason why keep pestering us to take
that filth CBT was apparently pressure coming from the TCC about a certain "Shell Vetting Inspector"
conducting vetting on a sister ship "Valiant" .
Turns
out that the Shell inspector checked the CBT's of crew and insisted that they
take CBT lecture called "Cyber Security". Now the question is why is
this shell vetting inspector (of all trash CBT's out there, they singled out
"Cyber Security" ) keep insisting that this CBT taken.
My
assumption is that since this is a "Shell" vetting inspector tries to
market the lecture because Shell ulterior motive was to promote this "Uwak
made garbage" CBT called "Cyber Security" .
In
any case I did took the CBT as what folks here told me , just to comply with
the requirements for the upcoming vetting inspection. I never liked the
"Cyber Security" CBT from the start. I couldn't help but be amazed on
the level of patheticness they discuss the topic,. Certainly very low level and
plain stupidly of people behind this CBT - very obvious that the persons (most
likely uwaks) behind it didn’t even considered the opinions of experts working
in the Information technology sector specifically folks from the
Telecommunications and Financial Sector, it does not even fully explain or
justify why "Cyber Security" should be implemented at all in ships.
True
that merchant (civilian) ships nowadays have advance tremendously from their
counterparts versions way back in the 80's or 90's but ships haven't reached to
the level of sophistication to think that a hacker would commander a ship using
only a single computer (or destroy a ship entirely) . This idea that this
"Cyber Security" is telling is pure crap and science fiction, and has
no basis whatsoever., from what I'm thinking as a normal and typical active
Filipino seafarer right now is that the "uwak" author or authority
behind this CBT has watched too much science fiction on T.V. and his / her
imagination is a byproduct of paranoid delusions combined with science fiction
fantasy. "Uwak's" are really good at lips service, they can fool
almost everyone in the maritime sector but not me ! Save it to a person who
would buy out this filthy idea of theirs.
