scamp

5days of leave, of which 3days i still have to go back and work. sad, but since i love my ship and they have been kind to me thus far (for ac1 and tokyo etc.), i guess i won't mind the extra effort for now. this disrupted my orientation camp, and i happily let myself get moody and not enjoy myself to the fullest. sigh~ but it was fun, though similar to that of jc. i got a good og with united guys, and i'm lucky that i like my sp, i guess it's the result of all my chia! haha, maybe its good to be generous? =) anyway, thanks for being the fun og and great sp!

finally, i can study yet i'm already missing 88. the varying treatment in both worlds are different, and is distinctly felt during scamp. should now remain careful and scrimp and save, beware of the surroundings and my tongue.

eusoff hall, here i come.

touch of a four-leaf clover

Fortune has been smiling on me thus far in my career and i'm loving it. The only sad part is leaving my beloved ship, RSS VICTORY, and her crew. The tech makan was also significant in marking an end to my stay on board. wasted for me to fail to clear the 15 days of leave remaining.

Next up, shore tour in NUS. but the memories remain...

Niigata, Japan, here i come! =)

bintan

and yet another chia... 2days1night at the expensive bintan lagoon resort results in 1/4 of my salary gone. alcohol was cheap, and we played interacting games. insight: where else can ya hold a bottle of wine and drink and drive without giving two hoots about it, especially without a license? *thud* sorry guys, but thanks for that enjoyable ride. despite the pocket holes, i'm very blessed with such a tight wardroom. its the greatest way one can start a navy career, as well as forge bonds with people of varying ages. i thank my lucky stars for such a good ship =)

being the nosey parker, i've fished out some exciting information from a friend and its time for matchmaking yet again! =)
funny how my brother finally got a girlfriend, and that means that i am free to get one now... heh
would somebody just whack me out of this conservative mind in such a mordern age? nah, maybe not.

DPO

As soon as i got my ticket, it was mon, wed, fri and sat. tiok jia? sigh... who asked me to have 6 points to begin with? with all the duties at hand, AO assessments and accidents unfortunately befall me. but something feels different, having to be fully responsible of my duty watch, taking care of one who has injured himself and answer to his parents. somehow gratifying maybe?

anyway, good news is that i'm shortlisted to fly to tokyo to be attached on a US ship on behalf of RSN. HNP and COS-NS have put my name through to CNV, where i hope he will grant me my experience of a lifetime. bad news is that i'll miss all the orientations in NUS, but i'll choose the former ANY day. hahah! praying for the best =)

ID is quite a good life, and so i was tasked to be usher for the NAVY Open House. my first real time doing secondary work for the navy, or perhaps that's part and parcel of my original job.

Have sat down to really think for my future, especially in the area of finance; good to be on track with such important details. thinking of which, really miss the times where i can aimlessly ponder on philosophy and life. with every thing planned out, i can only wait to take it one step at a time
