Life In My Ship-Victory->20th Aug
Life in the ship is full of work.Especially when u are attached to the ship to learn..You have to pay a price.To be ordered around.For example if got things to carry, or corridor to sweep.. the first people called will be the attached students. haiz..... dun even have time to check my sms argh.
But people in the ship are nice. When work, they work together, like brothers. Becoz in the ship, the compartments and rooms are so small that it bond the sailors together.But ship is just like any other working place, there will be someone they dun like, hate etc.But they dun show.Wow, just like office politics .hahahaa.But what i am saying is onli a small percentage.Most of them treat each other well.
Most of the ship crew treat us newbies quite well.They dun hesitate to share with us their sailing expieriences and seamanship.
I held the appointment as understudy gunner.Hence everyday have to oil the Oto Melera 76mm Gun.(aka ship Tarrot)Some more the sun is very hot in recent weeks leh. Last month keep on raining in the afternoon,i couldn't sun tan as the result.Now i attached to ship, then the heaven dunno y make the sun come out so hot & powerful argh.whaa kow .
Yesterday do night duty on the ship.After typing for months u should know what is night dty right? sleep at 12.30 am- 6 am today. Worst to worst is that i was having a flu....U know how cold the night is,especially in the harbour,just beside the sea.U all have taken a stroll beside the beach at late nights, thinking it is peaceful or romantic etc right.... yah chilling.The sea breeze is extremely ...whaaa~
say out also makes my teeth chattering.i remember in the army, Basic military Training phase, i was having situation test for 2 days in the wilds.The weather is very hot(about 37.5 degrees)....and i think same goes to my body temp.. very hot and i think is 38.5 degreesat least.then somemore have to run here and there.crawling....with full equipment and thick army uniform on me. argh!!! nearly broke down.
ok then yesterday i was having a flu.... and yet the sea weather is whaaa... dun say liao... dunno y heaven so funny one.
Anyway tomorrow we are setting sail somewhere in the iddle of the sea to carryout an excercise and come back at late night. Haiz... the ship's life.But i am looking forward to the trip to thailand next month,and to taiwan beginning of next yr.all these is possible if i will be a confirmed ship crew in ship victory.oppzz forget to explain to ya that the attachment will be for 2 months. 31 july to 30th sept. then i will be posted crew. The % of carryon staying in the same ship (for the rest of the NSF life )after passout the attachment phase is 75%.so we shall see... Taiwan.. wait for me!
