ASP *Piping the Side*

Ahoy
It reads... 2nd Yarn~
"I'm contented with what I have, No need more..." -Mat

Having invited to grace the arrival of VIP for Boat Asia was quite a honourable event to participate in... Scouts blowing the pipe instead of the NCC sea cadets who emphasizes so much on sea training. How many of us actually have seen a sea scout blowing the boatswain pipe in these days???


As usual, I dragged myself out of the bed early morning in the dawning Thursday sky. I entered my fourth day of school and had to take time out to participate in this event... But how lucky was I? Come think of it, Quite. Yes, Quite... Donning the drank navy pants and shoes, I strutted out of the house with an air of confidence and arrogance... I will be piping the side while my friends will be going to school and living the same everyday! An Honour to a seaman... Didn't took me long to reach harbourfront to meet up the usual guys, Kenneth managed to get out of the camp. But I was late though... no complains =)


Walking down the gangway (ignore the guy), we were greeted by countless of visitors and rich people... One*15 marina is truely a marina of the future generation. Classy and posh, One* is certainly one of the best marinas in Singapore... Turning starboard, we were greeted by Hye Seas II... a new Azizmut which just arrived sometime back...
Hmmm, well, time is forenoon watch, 3 bells (0930)... VIP will only be arriving @ 5 bells!! What to do? Same.. started taking photographs around... hahahaaa..

Same few poses... always so proud of our uniforms... we have a new member, Andre, not invested yet though... hahahaaa...





A pre shot of our ceremony was also taken! courtesy of Andre... Smart no 1s I would say... ^^ Pity to those who missed this ceremony and event... If the whole crew was here... We would have been much stronger and the whole line out would be much magnificent! haw haw...





Of course, we wouldn't forget to catch up with old mates... Kenneth managed to get out of his camp to come support in this event... Cheers to u dude...






AND...... if you realised, maybe all seaman like to stand the same position while yumbling mumbling in their own world... hahahaaa... quite cool huh... notice the legs people... the legs!!!



We also will never forget some good, candid photos to end up a day... wherever, whenever! hahaaa.. this series of photographs teaches you that as a seaman, we have to learn to work together, if not, forget about working onboard!!! =) you ask why....???


I don't think we're even onboard a ship right??? hahahahaaaa!!!
