Pilot ladder experience! Fuyohhhh!
On my very first time visiting the vessel, I felt very excited wondering how would it be? how would it look like? Many thoughts and question wondering around until the day I board the huge vessel in Singapore. The experience was like awwwww...omggggg... what the hell is this..... it was anchoring..
Therefore, we will need to take a speedboat to the middle of the sea to board the vessel. It was considered 'lucky' to have the opportunity to use gangway to climb up. For my colleagues, it was just "sap sap water" but for me it was totally opposite. During that time i felt gangway is tough until today when i was about to board another vessel, i asked my client ; gangway ke atau pilot ladder ya? confidently and without second thought he told me pilot ladder and that was the time when my heart sank. OMGGGGGG... pilot ladder?? even monkey bar i cant even succeed.. what if i felt down and drown? Out of a sudden all those negative thoughts flooded my brain. but like it or not, i still need to climb. Going up was OKAY for me.. phew~~ i manage to climb up! Yeah!! BUT... it was not over.. haha.. the real nightmare is when you got to climb down weiiii.. After completed our job/task, its time to go back. One by one my client and colleague climb down. When it is my turn, the sea is quite choppy and no one is pulling the vessel and speedboat together. When I climb down halfway, suddenly the speedboat was apart about few feet away. When i notice that, my face turn green and i started to scream.. Everyone start to panic and assist me to climb down. phheewww.... i manage to reach the speedboat safely thanks to my boss, my client and boat crew. should i say that i am lucky? hahaha.. New experienced achieved! Well done to me :p
