Yeah I�m finally done with all my christmas cards for this year.. all sent out liao.. hope I dun last min receive from some1 which I didn�t sent a card.. hahaha.. Watched Oceans twelve this weekend.. haha there were so many twist and turns to it.. I really see until abit blur but still more or less know wads going on� I find some of the twist are actually kinda hard to digest and rather ridiculous. But no doubt its one of the better movies to catch. Yeah will be watching meet the fockers on 31st with the navy guys.. some unit anniversary thingy I think.. the thriller is really hilarious and is definitely one movie not to be missed.

Just met up with cheowlit.. he just came back from Perth for summer holiday.. had a good chat with him over dinner just now...

Didn�t really enjoyed my last sailing from mon to thurs last week.. my ship was just suppose to escort this gas tanker ship out to north sumatra and return to sg.. so there�s no port of call� well thank god there were no pirate attacks.. but the ship crew was rather unfriendly and didn�t feel like interacting with them� so I was like quite anti social thru out the whole trip.. was sooo sian until u cannot imagine� I only had 2 magazines with me la� got one stupid sgt even stole my pillow.. haiz hope I will not sail onboard that ship again..

Yeah looking forward to christmas eve� think it will b fun. Haiz will b doing duty on christmas day itself..sianz.. nvm la think we are just going to order a lot of food and feast and turn the medical centre upside down!

hmm... dun really know wad to blog... anyway here's an quick summary of events this week..

spent my off on mon and tues out with chek going sushi tei and kbox.. had initially wanted to catch up with some of my jc mates but i got abit irritated by their wishy washy and lukewarm response.. no offence la.. but well wad can i say...

nearly had to sign extra which means get punished on thurs... had this marina city park cross country run medical cover which there's this MO(medical Officer) bag that was one of the items we had to bring along.. so we just happily loaded the stores and to our horror later realised that the bag was kinda empty with all the resus drugs missing... after much enquiry we den realised that we took the wrong bag.. there were 4 bags altogether in the dispensary but we din know that in fact only 1 was functional with all the stuff in it.. the dispense i/c forgot to specify that b4 going on leave.. but its also our fault that we didn't check... our snr medic later claimed that he woun entirely blame us cox we wouldn't know wad that bag contained as we were not taught b4.. and moreover its our 1st time bringing a MO bag.. sighZ..

had my routine on sat.. so guess i shall not harp on it.. watched alexander on sunday.. i think it totally sucked.. it was so boring and fragmented n abit confusing at times.. and they tried to potray alex as a homoseual or maybe bi.. dun even know if there's really the case.. aiya.. wad a dumb movie.. didn't really like the way the whole story of alexander was presented..

going to sail again on monday.. should be back by fri or in time for the weekend..

Phew I'm back! 10 days plus out at sea is really no joke.. i was on board a patrol vessel this time.. got kinda seasick for the 1st few days.. super sianz.. my 1st lunch on board ended up in the vomit bag.. the feeling of puking really sucked apart from dizzy spells... quite jialat man.. i only got used to it on the return trip.. felt better also partly because the sea was much calmer..but den its so freaking boring on the ship... basically i have no assigned duties or so called "watch" to perform.. and so basically my rountine is sleep, eat,sleep.. pretty slack.. and help out abit during domestic(when they tidy up the place) watched dozens of dvd, vcds man.. including polar express..haah save money.. played risk/monopoly with the ship crew too.. haha.. the ship crew were generally very nice and friendly ppl.. at least never bully me la.. always ask me to eat ..all like da ge ge and jie jie to me... think i'm the youngest on board man..all of them regulars mah. but think the chef is realy superb.. the ship rock here rock there still can produce reasonably nice food... like nasi lemak, pineapple rice, pasta, curry chicken... but i dun dare to eat too much.. dun relieve the "pukey" feeling again..

had 3 days of shore leave at Pattaya.. had to say it was quite an eyeopener.. i spent like close to S$200 in 3 days lor.. crazy rite. went ard with quanwen the medic onboard another ship that my ship had travelled with... we spent our 1st 2 days shopping and eating... haha we kept eatin those stuff that is super exp in sg.. haha quite dumb.. but that place seem to solely exist entirely for angmoh tourists.. the whole streets are sprawled with angmoh tourists(mostly male seen cuddling or flirting with thai gers*no joke*, cafes & restaurants serving western cusine, pubs night clubs) went to this place called "walking street" at night... the whole streets are lined up with pubs, night clubs, some shops and resaurants on both sides.. wah we were really dazzled by the neon lights and overwhelmed by the pounding music just by strolling along..super happening.. u also can see PROs all dressed up.. some in sch uniform..bikinis all sort of pattern la.. standing outside those clubs...have to say most of them are really far from chio man..HAhaha n i dunno why all those angmoh man still loved to be surrounded by hordes of them.. i find it quite gross la.. hahah too innocent.. den as u walk along the streets of Pattaya at nite u will keep being approached by ppl askin if u wanna watch strip show, massage( dunno wad kind) n blar..buay tahan.. just walk off and ignore them lor.. the nightlife in Pattaya is really wu guang shi se.. all the shops n eateries open till like 1,2 am... think alot of places outside sg are the same.. haiz boring sg.

We were finally done with shopping on the 3rd day.. and after much procrasination we finally went for a thai massage at this rather posh and established spa-like parlour. we didn't dare to venture into those roadside parlours in fear of receiving "extra and uncalled for services" despite their significantly lower prices..haha basically we wanted to stay clean and out of trouble la. massage was certainly refreshing and shuang.. felt revitalised and "lighter" after so much walking.. there was also annual buddhism associated festival on our last nite.. called Loy Katrong or sth lydat.. whereby they make use of banana leaves, flowers like orchid, chrysanthmum to make small floats and light candles and joss stick on it.. den release into the seas or rivers. it is believed it will bring good luck and takes away all the ill luck misfortune for the the person along with the float to the seas.. quite cool... we bought a "float" dunno wad u call that la each and made our own well wishes too. its really a sight to behold alongx the Pattaya beach that nite.. with lots of sparkles and even fireworks.. so chio! haha..

that kinda sums up my trip in Pattaya... hmm i hope next sailing trip would be as fun too... but i dowan to sail so long on a small ship anymore.. hope to sail on a Landing Ship Tank(LST) next time... confirm woun get sea sick one...
