things might be working out fine or maybe it might not...
sometime we just cannot choose how we want things to work out ...
but we can fight for the best we want it to happen and how things will turn out ...

i will go on working hard on everything ....

no matter what happen, no matter how long, i will always be here for her ....
no matter what happen, no matter how long, i will always be waiting for her ....
no matter what happen, no matter how long, i will always be here protecting her ....
no matter what happen, no matter how long, i will always be here standing-by for her ....

just do not wish to see her shed a single tears anymore ...
i will always be here ....

Day 20

today is my most tired day ever. Cus I start work at 6.30am and end work at 10pm.

Haha.... you must be thinking why ?!

Cus its my duty today so need to wake up 1hour earlier than the rest …. then suppose to work till 5pm rest then 9pm go work till 10pm again but our chief engineer actually want the entire team of people to mop the floor. Haha ….

and we just mopped yesterday … he said not clean … mop already should be clean but why is it same as before …. since during working hours u guys cant clean properly, u will do it during ur rest time …

poor thing right ? But luckily our 2nd engineer does not agree with him, so we mopped places different from yesterday instead … and he say he will call the company and ask chief to sign off when we reach hongkong... haha ...cus actually our chief still wanna sail for 1more trip which will be like around 2months for a trip …

anyway, the whole entire engine room people do not like our chief …. for me, I still prefer my previous ship chief … he worked with us and come engine room everyday for work … for this chief, he just talk and we do ...lol … sometimes he dont even talk, he just write on the notice board …. haha …. pro …. do nothing and get 10k a month …. lol ….

today duty was quite smooth … nothing went wrong and it went smoothly and luckily there's e-mail system onboard …. we can send e-mail anytime to anyone but no attachments, plain words... but thats good enough cus like that we can know whats status at home.... haha …

time flies … its already ½ a month that I m here …. actually life onboard is boring …. everyday do almost the same thing … lol … wake up – eat – work – eat – work – eat – sleep …. haha …

oh ya …. today is 2nd of june ! Why so happy ? Cus tml is 2nd of june again … cus we going near the equator line if I not wrong … haha …. my first time going through the same day again … haha …. so u see …. time can be repeated …. provided u r rich la … cus need to take plane …. haha ….

went shore with 4th engineer, welder, junior elecky, 2nd mate, deck cadet, chief mate's wife and 5th engineer …. went shopping for about 2 hours plus then sit down and get something to eat.

I didnt buy any stuff cause you convert the price back to sing dollars, its almost the same, not cheap !!!

Day 83

its been almost a month since I last blog.

Was damn busy and tired. Thats why never blog.

Been to shanghai.

The train is very new ! And clean but got so many line than singapore.
Took train to the city of shanghai, and went to a place like SIM LIM, all selling electronic stuff.

Bought a SEAGATE 500GB and a sony ericsson bluetooth headset. Damn happy. And also go shopping for tidbits. Total only spend USD150. Damn nice !!!

After the shopping, went to dinner with the gang. Drink and dine !!! super nice !!! all the senior treat …

haha …. i'll just let the pictures do the talking.

Day??? (18 OCT 2009)

its been so long since I last blog, so I do not know how many days already, but its only 41 days more to go home.

I have long got use to the life here, actually nothing much also.

Anyway, I am now in US, and will be staying here for a week before going back to china.

I have been to so many place for the past few months.
Japan, korea, New York, Balboa, Manzanillo, hong kong, yantian, shanghai, ningbo, san pedro, Savannah, Jacksonville, Miami. For me, I have been very lucky to be able to go to almost all the places mention. Because everytime arrival, it is not my duty day. So after some job I will be able to go and shop and hang around.

6months onboard here will be good enough for me, or I will say it is enough. I need to go home to re-charge! HAHA!

So on the end of november I will be flying back to Singapore from New York by plane!
OMG! It will be a 12hours flight! TIRED!


Day ??? ( 9 november 2009 )

I think this will be my last post onboard!
Because 20 more days I will be going home!!!

Time pass very fast, 6months just went pass like that.

Overall, working onboard is still ok for me, as I got very good seniors. Never overtime at all, maybe once. LAUGH!

But for marine engineers, the money we earn, we got no place to spend, because from Taiwan to U.S. is about 3 weeks. And we only stay in U.S. for about 1 week. That means you earn 1 month salary and you only save it up. So when I go home in 20 days, I will be rich, LAUGH!

This 6 months I learn quite a lot from the seniors, not everything but at least some basic for my future vessel.

So thanks to the sweetest person in the world who help me post all these blog post, as for the photos I will update all when I reach home!

See you guys in 3 weeks time!
