15->20th Feb...5 day sailing
well i am back from my 5-day sailing ~ finally !!!Well this sailing is called FCP, a war operation excercise conducted with other ships and submarines.we will be group team orange,blue,red etc.then we have to sail Around South china sea,seeing who will locate each other first with nav radar + navy personnel lookout+info provided by the team ships.Then we will conduct engange excercise.For simulation,our ship and the "enemy ship" will sailing round and round and we will coms them(commmunicate through radio) pls surrender, or we will shoot X 3.Rules of engangement.We are under defense station mode,which means we closeup 50%..6 hours rest- 6 hours work.so very exhuasting..mentally.
Anyway the sea is quite rough with ship pounding here and there.I,like the other several seaman, have pop sea sick pill into my mouth for Just In Case.and it is normal for sea water to splash harshly against our bridge windows.And when walking around the ship, u can easily find salt particles everywhere.Now i understand y salt is so eassily discovered by ancient pple.
At the 3rd day , the cabin room(for the specialist navy personnel to sleep in) started to smell(they dun change their unform all the way after days of work and sleep on their bed during bed time+ dirty socks and shoes).and the toilet inside stinks.(think the ship shaking make them unable to aim.)yucks~ it makes me sick.
Well this morning 5.30 am i have reached tuas naval Base,singapore i called my homeland i feel relieved~!!!wow its finally over.I walked to the canteen with my buddies to order food....prawn mee~ yummy~(* sailing in rough sea makes u lose apeitite plus food on the ship by the cooks there is a so-so.)And one more thing, when i was walking from tuas to home.. and even now i can hear the sounds of sea and my feet wobble a little like i am walking on the ship.My body cannot get use to the land i guess.hehee This sailing marks not the end, but the beginning chapter of my sailing Log,chapter 1-sailing to india...28th feb-28thmarch.Oh man...
