1 month of being a sailor.. Woot!

For this past 1 month, I think I have travelled overseas more than all the overseas trip I have accumulated over the 19 years. One important thing for me was that, i uses to question my parents, "Why don't we go to further country like Australia or Europe? All my friends are going there!"



My dad's reason was that he sees no need to go so far out. Go there come back, everything will be forgotten. So no point lor. Haha, I felt so pissed and puzzled by that reply. Well, coming to NS and interacted with some regulars who signed on due to family financial problems. I felt that I am lucky enough to have even gone to have taken a bus at exceeded the causeway. People who signed on have not even been out of Singapore for like their past 20 years. Some, not even Sentosa. A very very huge lesson for me. Really, Be contented with what you have. Everything that you going to have in the future is just a bonus, treasure it well, cause one day, you will lose it. We came to this world with nothing, will we leave with something? It will be up to us to decide it.



Ok, suddenly like some Life lesson lecture. Anyway, Yup, Ihave been off to South China Sea for like 4 or 5 times already. Used to take transport for granted. Now, i am doing some real navigation work, to find my way there. Singapore is a real shipping port. The moment I am on the Singapore Straits, Everyone on watch will get so tense, because the scene infront, and behind of us resemble the expressways in the morning of Singapore. Congested! Imagine this 300 m long Alphamite, cargo ship I mean going past you one after another. Phew. To think I am on the biggest ship of the navy. LOL.



This has been the loneliest month for me I guess. For the record, I didn't went out for 4 weekends, in terms of super long hours, spending much money or what. Time passes supe quickly when you have alot of things to do. Like being a cheap labour .

Argh, my ideas seems so etangled. Blog more when my mind calms down. Christmas will be spent on the ship. Looks like I will have to give Willis' Party a miss. Sadded.
