听华语歌， 学华语

Harlow...

大家好!!
i've no idea why but after i got back... somehow i got into the 93.3 mood...
not dat i'm into listening to the station...
but got the mood to listen to 华语歌... david tao, 张震岳, jolin tsai, s.h.e. , gigi leung, sammi cheng...

mayb coz i found out dat 张震岳 released a new album so went to get it...
listen already got into the 华语歌 mood...

but it's a nice feeling listening to chinese songs again...
the last time i was listening to 93.3 was during bmt...
coz the bunk radio was always on 93.3 so ended up listening to it for quite a while,
even after bmt... haha...

well... duno how long this craze, mood or watever u call it is gona last...
guess i'm not too bothered... mayb until i leave singapore for another job...
till then... 华语歌万岁!!

Home and Sick...

Hello everyone...

i'm back once more... after being away for like almost 3 months...
wat's dat? yes... it's been almost 3 months already...

wat a stretch... but luckily i got a little 4 day break in the 3rd week of july... while home for a while, managed to order a laptop (yay!), and got it in time b4 i left again...

this 2nd trip was almost like the first.. long periods @ sea... tho not as bad as the last job...

but while on the job we lost one of our equipment to the local fishermen... was told it cost like usd38,000.
like ouch man... but it's part and parcel of the job and was told it's quite common to lose the equipment in the gulf of thailand...

this trip has been rather fun, coz of the ppl i was working with... i had 2 gaming buddies onboard.
the 2 surveyors on my shift. one's malaysian, the other's thai. so we had lots of fun making fun of each other, tricking each other.

the malaysian surveyor fren bluffed the thai guy dat cin-chow was called lan cheow. and the thai guy was happily asking us if we wanted "lan cheow"... until a few days later, he discovered the real name of the drink on the can itself...

here are the 2 clowns: the one on the left is the malaysian, e other , obviously is the thai.

oh well... den the bad shit came... started having a fever last sat... kept coming on and off as i popped panadol to try to supress it. was in port on monday and i went to see a doc...
sailed off the next morning and i was feeling fine... when the nite came... fever came on again... and it was quite a torture... i was shivering under the covers... but blistering burning on the outside...

was put on cold compress and sent back to port and to a hospital for a checkup. the sailing journey wasn't like 2-3 hrs. it like took us ab t 12 hours to sail back to port coz we have already been sailing for 12hrs plus since we left port.

so saw the doc @ the hospital and was booked on a flight home the same nite...
so here i am now.. back at home... free to eat the foods i miss so much... esp chinese food...

but dat was like wed nite when i came home... feeling much better now... but i've got like a course of antibiotics to take till next thurs. *bleh*

but saw this funny t-shirt while shopping w the guys on one of the days b4 we sailed off...


now... before u start calling me a bin laden supporter (which for the record, i am not!!)
this is wat it says on the back...



other adventures while on the job:


a sea snake was caught on our equipment as we brought it up on deck...

part of the job required us to take seabed samples... marine clay.. prob the same stuff they use in spas for ur mud scrub.

this is wad we do with the extra clay we bring up...

well... guess dat's all for now...

juz have to focus on getting well so dat i can celebrate my bday properly when it comes round... :)
