Firstly, let me wish Dunman High School a great 50th anniversary! The school just held a sold-out thousand-seater dinner at Suntec. And when i told my mum about the Dunman High 50th anniversary dolls, she was quite interested in them. After all, just like me, she was a graduate from DHS!
But looking at my schedule, it's kinda hard for me to go dhs to make purchases. So, if anyone by any chance goes to dhs anytime, please volunteer to help me buy can??

It's always depressing to have your weekends NOT to yourself. Yes, I have understudy duty tmr, so my sunday's gone. And so does next Saturday. I wouldn't feel so grumpy if such lost days, which i think are our entitlement, can be replaced by offs on weekdays. If not, CAN UNDERSTUDIES NOT BE ON WEEKENDS OR PUBLIC HOLIDAYS?
Fine, i know I cannot change the system. THe inflexible organisation ought to be more compassionate and family-oriented.
Sigh, im crossing my fingers and hoping that i can be let off for the duty on 27th, friday, cos S.H.E will be holding an autograph session. And, I don't wanna miss FIshLeong's autograph next month as well. Arghh. Pray hard.
------------------------------------
I was at K-ster today once again. This time round with wenjian,wenxiang & leekai. i realise the number of times i've patronised kbox+kster this year has way surpassed the total number of times added throughout my first 18 years. THis could likely be the most expensive entertainment i've incurred for this year. But the $9.60 for 5 hours is really really a cool deal.

OCCASION #1: THE NTU STAYOVER (4 October)
In jiaozhu's room... ys was yawning away when the night was still young.. reason? Hint: look at the decks of unopened cards..
grrrr.
we r at the ADM.. forgot what it stands for, i tink its arts school for drama & music? somewhere there la..
So cool to have fireworks for us! This is on top of the ADM. the entire roof is grass-grown, from ground level until about 6 storeys high. its tiring to climb up lor.
After photo-taking, we went another room for spades! Since HP wasn't there, he was replaced by jiaozhu's friend..
Then we went door to door visiting to meet our class gals.. siying+caiying's room, peishan's room, pinting's room..
The next day, we went back to ADM for more photo taking. the slope behind us is even steeper than the one we climbed. the one behind wasn't meant for people to climb onto..
that's jiaozhu's room-mate..
2 witches and an innocent me.
seeing double?? this was taken at the steeper slope, the one not meant for ppl to climb onto. A miss footing can get u tumbling down..

I miss Imos.
I want December to come quick.
I felt so lost. Today i asked myself these questions:
Why am i here?
Who are these people?
How will they treat me?
Will i enjoy?
Will i integrate into them one day?
How long more must i be in this?
Perhaps i can only answer them some months later.
My first day, out of about another 390, onboard the ship wasn't too bad, perhaps cos its just the first day, and everyone else seemed to be busy enough to ignore me. But i'll be confined for the next 3 days, understudying duty for 2 nights. Subsequently, out of the next 8 weeks, i'll be doing around 20 duties, including many weekends. Sian right.
And, i think this system sux lor... you see, for the months of Oct and Nov, i'm understudying duties, which means i'll be tagging along people doing actual duties, and the work is not much less than what the actual is. I can accept that the 20 understudy duties don't count towards the 'duty points system', but i can't accept that i am OWING actual duties that i've not done for Oct and Nov. Assuming everyone must complete 5 points for each month, it would mean that im still owing a good 10 points, even after doing 20 understudy duties... Isn't this too calculating? Im suggesting they count understudy duties as 1/2 of actual ones, how about that? Doing 2 understudy = 1 actual. Isn't this more fair????
But anyway, im quite touched by the way our SI and course comd handed us over to our new ship posting. it really goes to show how much the tc valued us, and that we are not to be treated lightly, even as OJTs. I genuinely appreciated that. Then hor, we were all so anxious before the handover. Its really the kind of feeling that you-know-you-are-gonna-die-soon-but-duno-how. And i became the first to die. Ok la, actually its not that bad, cos not all the ship crew are murderers. there are some angels around, and so far, im still comfortably out of the way of the killers..
And i thought my Chief Nav is good, cos he told me by right i was supposed to start confinement tonight, but he wanted me to go home and "PREPARE MENTALLY" first. Ok, i don't know if there are any hidden meaning, but even if so, well, i'm left with no chance oso right, so better don't think so much about it.
nothing much to update, cos really, i've yet to see most of the actual things. And oh, my first task was actually damn challenging. I have to remember ALL the 50+ crew onboard the ship. The Rank+Name+Appointment. That's sooo hard when they're all walking around and when you manage to remember one face, moments later, you see another one who looks like the previous, and you get it all confused. By the time lunch ended, I managed to memorise the face of some 10 people, but then, due to information overload in my brain, by the time the day ended, my mind went blank already. Don't belittle what information overload does to your brain...guess what, immediately after dinner, i can be so blur to walk to the rice cooker and almost scoop rice once again.
Hopefully the rest of the guys are doing well! We've been keeping contact via sms-es, and im glad to know there are people in this, with me.

So my 5-day holiday is ending. Didn't really do alot. And its always the case that when u r free, your friends aren't. SO its also abit sian la. But even so, it still beats having to report to a new environment tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SO SIAN. Going to a ship from tmr onwards, and it won't be as enjoyable as the last 6 months le. Arghh.

Anyway, is anyone keen to lend me the following??
1. "Helen the baby Fox" movie vcd/dvd.
2. "Gong1, ye man wang fei" (Princess Hours) korean drama vcd/dvd.
------------------
