Of Cursed Ships, A Birthday And A Holiday

Got back from the 11-day sea trial on sat evening.
and wad a weekend it was.

reached home ard 7.30pm on sat, and after unpacking, clearing emails and snail mail, showering and all, i was out of the house at 8.30pm for dinner w peter, mark n fel.
juz chilled at mark's house after dinner.

and somehow i couldn't sleep dat nite.
tossed n turned in bed till i got sick of it and went to play 'kungfu panda' on the ds.
also watched 1 episode of deadliest catch.
by den it was abt 5.30am when i went to bed.

managed to sleep till abt 8.30am when i got awoken by a sms.
tried to get back to sleep but couldn't so out of bed i climbed.
stayed up the whole day still ard 2am... so was pretty amazed at how i survived a whole packed day on abt 3hrs of sleep.

coz went for 11.30am mass, den went to KAP mac's for lunch, followed by a haircut or a trim, den followed by a pedi.
went home for abt 30mins, den went to pick ewen, alex and peter up to go to ocbc building for ben's bday dinner @ beng thin hokkien restaurant.
food there is good!

so a decently packed half a weekend i had.

monday was a good day juz sitting in the office the whole day.
but today so far is a completely different story.

went back to the vessel to install a new piece of equipment.
but once i went onboard, i was told another 2 more equipment had problems.
couldn't have the problems fixed onboard so went back to the office to seek for a solution from my colleagues.
thankfully a solution is found and hence the time to actually blog rite now.

so it's back to the vessel at loyang tom again. and i hope it'll be the last day i need to be there.
looking fwd to thur nite at wala and catching 'unexpected' in action.
and a work-free friday!

planning a holiday to taipei and kaohsiung in the first week of august so i can extend it by another day coz of the national day long weekend.
so the hunt for cheap sleeps n cheap airfare begins.
also welcomed are tips on where to go and wad to do while there.
email me, msn me or drop me a fb msg. i need all the help i can get.
