Home Sweet Home

It's great to be home, to be back in a world i am familiar w.
back in a world where ppl speak my language and know me for who i am.

not dat working on the ship has been a bad experience. in fact it was great!


let me start from the beginning once more... but before we go on, juz a note.
becoz i'm tired of trying to load the pics onto the blog page, i've made links to the pics...
if they dun turn out rite, let me know... i'll make amendments asap.

now back to my adventures...

it's a really great feeling flying first class on my first trip out of changi...
walked abt the place. and snapped a foto of myself w the koi.. hehe...

before the flight i went to the MAS golden lounge or something like dat. cant remember the name... hehe.
dang. shd have taken a photo of the entrance.
nice little place to relax and chill or snack. there's food and drink.
and a reclining couch to sleep on at the back.

once on board the stewardess offered us a hot towel.
and the food is served on proper plates and eaten w proper cutlery.
plus there's a nice foot rest and much wider seats...
so quite unlike economy...

think it's always such an experience to be flying... going thru the clouds.
and enjoying the view from high above.

saw this mean looking cloud when we were almost reaching KL. the pilot had already made announcements to turn off all electronic devices and yada yada... but i din care.. i had to take a photo of this rare sight :)


think KLIA is quite a boring place to transit in. somehow it doesn't feel as comfy and bustling like changi.

saw this pic in the MAS mag on my flt to labuan, sabah. tot it's kinda cute so i snapped a foto too... hehe.

after a 2 hr flt, i reached labuan... it was pouring when i arrived la... but got onto the transport and was whisked off to the ship...
my little home away from home is a little cabin on the ship...

fotos: view from the door - left, centre, right
view from the window

managed to snap a pic of the full moon which was shielded by clouds...
wanted to get a pic of the moon shining over the water. but i was working on the deck when i saw it.
so had to wait till work was done but by the time work was over, the moon was directly over us.
so no nice pic.. mayb on my next trip...

and our little indulgence on the trip... wall's magnum.

and here is the view i get every morning... the view at near noon... and the view in the evening...

like i said in my prev post.. work is alrite... food's good.
din get to use the gym tho... too lazy... :)

and i've got 3 sets of footwear @ work - 1) before/ after work footwear
2) working in the control room footwear

my 3rd set is my safety boots but i only wear them when i have work to do...
somehow din manage to get a pic of them... but i'm sure u'll get the idea.

nothing much on the island of labuan. there's a shopping mall called U.K.
utama kewangan is the full name... haha...
but there's sheraton over there too... and if u are like me and tot dat asia hotel @ scotts road is a local hotel,
think again... i saw another branch of asia hotel there too... but this one at labuan looks in pretty bad shape.

went to check out the only discotheque on the island... jupiter 8
it's pretty much like the discos in thailand...
lots of tables for ppl to sit at and drink... small dance floor. live band playing.
the band dat played dat nite was from kuching... nothing much really... think sg's clubbing scene more happening...
hahaha...

saw 3 trannies there... and there was dis guy who kept groping one of the "guy"'s butt...
which reminded me of my first nite on shore after going out to sea for a couple of days...
was walking w a couple of frens to join my other colleagues for a drink, den i saw this tranny sitting at a park bench,
doing a janet jackson wardrobe malfunction... *argh* *choke* *vomit*
but he/she juz sat there as if nothing was wrong... dun think he/she din realize the tit was showing...

alrite... finally i'm done w this entry... which has stretched 3 days for me to finish...
stay tuned for my adventures in sawadee thailand... :)
