"Pirates are good sailors..." - ASP

Waaa... Finally got photographs to insert here liao... so long since my blog has photographs.. HAHAHA... not high quality de laaa... so make do with it... hahahaha! Uniforms here!!! so everyone super smart! hehehe... No more worries about wearing home clothes to school!!! ^^ But where got girls drooling over us...??? hahaha...

Went jetty jump last wednesday.. it was quite power... At first full of confidence.. but when you're up the platform.. and the moment you stood at the edge.. your ***** really shrink.. hUu...

Left hand pull down the life vest, right hand pinch your nose. Stand on the edge... 1, 2, 3, jump...........................................................................................................................................................

DOOOMMMMMMM~!!! SplAsHH!!!!

*GasP for Air* waaa.... both ears super painful... ArgHh.. the pressure of the sea water and the amount of 'saline' that rushes into the ears made the ears drum feel like exploding... pain...............

"Form a circle!! Form a circle!!!" my lecturer screamed at us... But the circle was managed quite badly... then in the state of confusion, we have to move up the life raft inflated at the start of the class...

20 in a life raft.. super chaotic... I guess that is what will happen when there is a distress situation... hahahaaaa.. then we rowed the raft back to the slipway.. and was taught how to capsize the raft... Then finally, carried the big raft up the slipway and to the washing bay... Dinner.

After end of the day, we received our peak caps... haha.. well, being students, we went to the Marina and took some pictures...

...

Without peak Caps...

With Peak Caps...

That's what we call, Nautica Brothers... ^^

There are certain days I wonder to myself, 10 more months to sailing... And it will be 12 months of sea time... these 12 months.. what's going to happen... will my friends still remember me... will I lose anything... will I miss anyone...

As the days tick away, I realised that it's coming closer... I seriously believed it's worst than going ns... Tough job onboard where you are never in the hierachy... never know when things will drop from above... never know what will come from below... never know what will be stabbed from behind.. Hope I can be remembered when I come home... Hope I will still have what I have now when I come home... I know my mind's set.. and this trip will be the starting of what I promised myself...

You will be my drive, my motivation... All for you.

wish me luck...

One week just passes like this *snaps fingers*... 3 camps in 1 week... back2back2back!

Instructor...

Helper...

Runner...

Then finally... can get to REALLY go home...

"Today is Pillay's birthday goondoo..." my brain reminded me... Waaa... Knowing that I will sleep all the way once I lie down on my bed, I decided to stay awake till 5 plus 6... checked A LOT of mails... Then I thought of her... Quite some time since I've talked to her...

Reached his birthday party at Amaran VIP Club @ Little India... Quite a big place... and it's quite cheap for the whole place rental... not bad..
Then they asked me to play fist guessing game... Die laaa, dunno how to play how???

a. Figure out
b. Tikam
c. Ask again and again

First, too tired to figure out myself liao... Secondly, too loud in the club to even ask... Then how??? Tikam lor.. In the end, got to drink up like 1 mug or more of Tiger... Tsk... I seldom drink arh.. cannot make it laaa.. super seh.. shack man. Later still have to go over to Kallang to stay overnight at Oasis Beach to prepare next day's logistics, how to work like this!
But nevertheless, lucky I don't get drunk... Managed to gather myself together and tahan till Kallang... Lime juice, warm fries, hot milo, some sweets and some, AhEm, air and water release... Waaa.. Finally felt better la... most of the alcohol out... WhEW~


The next day, ready for action for AJC event... safety kayaker. Whole night never really sleep a wink, but still can tahan... Sit down there in the cockpit as the time ticks away... Finally, the time to go back pack up... YAY! But super no drive and motivation to finish up the wash up properly... Practically is dragging our feet to the racks and carry the kayaks back to their holding area... Super shacked... Then waited for the pick up for like 1 hour plus??? Fell asleep while waiting... Then finally it came... Went back to RC to put back the equipments then went to eat...
Took 502 from Gek Poh to home... Fell asleep all the way to IMM... then went opposite to take 333, LONG WAIT..................................................................................

Then 333 came... Guess what? Fell asleep again... -.- Ths time round around my area.. woke up before the bus got out of the bus stop... and alighted.. Waa... The walk back home is really throbbing... Too shacked. Reached home... First thing, slumped onto the bed and slept till now... HAHA.



It's been a long time since I've seen you... waaa... I'm not sure about anything, but I can't help but admit... I think I miss you... oh my god. Die. Hai...
But haven been talking much since 1st camp started the start of last week... Maybe busy... been dreaming to see you soon.. Hope soon.

OK. Uniform's ironed.. Now is finding motivation and drive to finish up most of the homework I left behind during the e-learning week... hmmm... but first, I got new MP3!!! Transfer song in first... ^^

"Make a Difference Today..." - ASP

Back... Waaa... Tomorrow camp... I'm still online blogging... not packed. Uniform not ironed for tomorrow's EMS interview... Now then I realised that I have no time for this camp... and I should actually have taken a rest.. but BAH... What to do now? Take MC? hahahaha... oh well.. Tired..

Went for Maersk interview.. second round.. hmmm.. quite alright.. but.. didn't managed to change anything.. only got to know that they offer scholarship in our third year after the 12 months sea attachment. Hmm.. Let's see what the others offer... should say.. desperate for someone to bring me across the three years. How to have prospects if you cannot even get through your three years smoothly???

Capt Haider Ali showed us, yet, another life enriching movie online that day. This time, it's on making a difference... Maybe you guys will understand more after watching the movie in the link above... But today... After attending pre-camp brief @ Suntec City, went jalan jalan with Andrew, Jeremy, Willie and Melvin... While going back to the MRT station, we came across this arabic woman in her head dress sitting beside the pathway on the bridge... Seeing that she's quite poor thing, I digged out 40 cents and put it in her hands... The I went to joined the group... But suddenly, something just digged in me... and made me turned back and gave her another 4 bucks... At that point of time, I was thinking.. Why not just give her the 4 bucks to complete her meal today... Maybe BP prompted me up there... hahahaha.... But well, it was quite good.. knowing that I have done a good deed today... Knot untied.

Good luck to me...

"Luck is really largely the power to spot your opportunity and to jump at it and seize it..." - Lord BP

Today was really the day... Early morning woke up... got the lazy girl up from her bed... then went out from house to the usualy classroom on Tuesday... POLY MARINA...

Probably the most favourite classroom, in my opinion, was hoping that my group is the first ti get onboard the Grand Banks, SP Dover!!! hahahahaaa.. and guess what, I think she passed a few luck to me recently... We got to go onboard first!!! wa hahahahahaha... so cooL laaa... going down the gangway to the berth, we boarded the powerboat that ferried a small group of to SP Dover... After getting onboard, I felt this familiar feeling I knew when I got onto Boon Teik... HAHAHA.. High life people... HIGH LIFE!!! ^^ Then the SRYC guy, after a few attempts, managed to start her... Dunno why, I was so exihilerated when her engine started... LOL.. well, maybe that's the boy in me when im on a boat! hahahahaaa... Then I followed the guy up to the fly bridge with some of my classmates and he steered her out of the no wake zone.. towards the refineries area... Then he let some of the classmates steer... waaa.. I didn't managed to touch the helms! = disappointed.. but nvm laaaa... not like I never steer before... hahahaaahaa.. After 1 BIG round, we headed back to the marina and did some clean up at the laser rack area... was quite fast.. hahaa.. efficient deck hands! ^^

After that, we headed back to the regetta classroom and prepare to go for dinner when Joey said his wallet was lost... HaiYo.. always have this kind of situations one lorrrr.. tsk. some people.. no money then still have no backbone.. jiaaaa laT! After dinner, we had our basic training safety.. with our interesting Capt Aung .. then Navigation with Capt Raj... waaa... Suddenly I felt so motivated to find the answers to all the parallel sailing... plane sailing... mercator... waaa.. felt so good when I foudn the answers.. maybe continue tonight baaa.. hahahaaa...

Tomorrow... Have to skip class in the morning for medical check up... The lady told me Im the only person left in DNS who hasn't submit the medical report.. waaa.. sheeezzzz... I'm rebellious k! hahahaaaa... then tomorrow also got Maersk Line assessment for selection of sponsorship.. hmmm, hope i can make it through... it's a good company.. wish me luck... ~ 21st is EMS swimming test for selection..

Updated my profile... can go see see... hahaha.. waaa... 11 more months to sea service... time flies~~ Was listening to the songs in her blog... hmmm, a lot of nice songs.. hahaha.. good job done girl... ^^

So many stuffs, too little time. Or rather... too little drive. To put it in a bad way... TOO LAZY!!! ARGH! Recently also cannot wake up on time... siann... But the drive to go school is still there! go go go E.T... Woo~ Very long never do camps liao... really want to go back and impact again. But no chance... timing all clashes with classes... Miss the people, especially the instructors... and the way I do my camps with all the students.. counting back.. I have tried to impact near... 400 kids??? hahaha... amazing huh... previously, I just do camps and camps and camps... and every camp just pass me each day... sometimes I ponder to myself whether have I really done a good job.. and whether my campers made themselves a better person.. hmm.. time will tell ^^

The last quarterdeck went on well.. hahahaha.. can see the direction we're going to head to. Im satisfied with my current crew... Simple with life... ambitious with Scouting.. Maybe I should learn how to take things slow and steady and enjoy what's around me more... But I really hope the crew moves on and establish a place for ourselves!! ^^

PLTC is coming.. more work coming..

waaa... a bit tired.

"You get back the same as what you give out"-unknown through Capt Haider Ali

A man was walking with his son in the mountains one day and upon coming to a rock, he took his son up onto the rock to take a rest. Looking out towards the range of mountain tops, the son decided to screamed out into the mountains.

Son, "Hello!!!"
A voice echoed back, "HELLO!!!"

The son was shocked and surprised at the reply, and decided to check it out further.

Son, "Who are you???"
The voice echoed back again, "Who are you???"

Getting a bit irritated at the voice, the son screamed back again, "Come out now!!!"
The voice echoed back, "Come out now!!!"

This time round, the son got rather frustrated and angry, he screamed back again, "You are a coward!!!"
The voice echoed back mercilessly, "You are a coward!!!"

Crying, the son ran to his father and asked him, "Dad, What is going on???"
The father replied, "Pay Attention!!!"

The father went to the top and screamed, "You are great!!!"
The voice echoed back, "You are great!!!"

Again, he screamed, "You are Wonderful!!!"
The voice echoed back again, "You are Wonderful!!!"

Looking back at his son, the father said, "People say this is echo, but I say this is life. As we get back the same as we give to people..."


In life, we always have to learn how to respect people before people will respect you. Give kindness before kindness will be given. Love before being loved. Care before being cared.

In short, Treat people the way you want them to treat you! ^^ good luCk~

"I am going to start work Tomorrow~" - shalon

Two weeks have passed since the first day I started school... All has been well and smooth sailing, quite good... no hiccups. Hidden? Maybe, Just that I chose to look things on the surface... They have just yet to see my other side. hahaaa...

Good news is, the uniforms are coming!!! So excited!!!
No need to fret over what to wear to school tomorrow!!! All fixed, standardized and somehow suits me better... hahahaaa... It somehow feels better and proud to be in the school... hehe.. But the thing is we ahve to fork out another $180!!! argh~

Bad news...

No textbooks for me yet! arrrhhh~ and I ahve 47 pages of coastal navigation to complete... and a LOT of questions on deviation, variation, compass error, gyro error, &^@%$!...
But so far so good, slowly... slowly...no need to rush. ha ha haaa ha ha...

Funny thing is...

We have to run 1.2 km later in the afternoon!!! Plus 20 laps in the pool!!! Just to get qualify to go to this Mel camp thingy. But it seems to me it's compulsory for the class! oh god... how to survive like that... Arhhhh..

Good good, the 1 star course for all instructors have finally

been done. All passed!!! Except, for some who have to do

make up classes... Will update you guys again!!!

Anyway, here are some of the pictures, I only have 3 at the moment, the rest... I will upload here and you guys come
