Well well, it has been a month, and I have cleared my first assessment. I have now received my ceritificate of competency! i just hope that I would be able to attend June's navigation course. I believe this would leave me an edge over the others! but at the same time, I have kinda decided personally that i would like to proceed to Queensland to pursue my further studies! Whether or not I can have both the navigation course and my degree course, would depend on personnel board. Yea, mum and god help me!

However, though COC was a highlight of the week, what really disappointed me was the huge drop in my mile and a half timing! This time, I am not able to achieve my silver timing! This is very disappointing! I think i have been drinking and smoking too much with too little training! I need to train more! :(

Just a short reflection over this weekend, I realised that before I left for the UK, I had a very low tolerance for peepz would I find are annoying. But being in the UK for a year, has changed me! However, what I realised is, being back in fleet now, and with introduction of more Vocational Attached Officers onboard, I realised that my temperament is back! I do not understand why, but I am just anable to tolerate them.

For example, one of them is my direct senior, and I know him when I was in MIDS training! He is just damn annoying! Maybe he does know things more than me, but why is he trying to tell me exactly what I have to do? If i do need advice, I would approach him, but even before I do, he is trying to tell me what I need to accomplish! How I would settle my problems, I would prioritise them myself. And unless I require his advice, it would be alot better if he shuts his trap!

Another guy, he was onboard longer den I have, and in fact, has been on another platform in the past! Well, he has not completed his COC, and therefore took the assessment with me! But when he asks me questions, he seems to behave that he knows everything. Well, it could just be him trying to make me learn, but such an arrogant tone turns me off. Not just that, when I gave him the answers, he told me that I am wrong, only to make me learn the wrong things, where i have been right in the first place! THIS IS DAMN ANNOYING! I hate this sorta things la. If you dunno, dun act as if you know everything in the world. What I learn, I have spent loads of time reading them and trying to memorise them. LEARN THE RIGHT THINGS DUDE!

Sigh, this week, I have an interview with Personnel. I hope that I would be able to clear it easily. If it is possible, I would ask for a short attachment onboard a PV to understand the way things work onboard other ships. It would be a good chance to take a breather onboard other ships as well! But I hope that this coming week would be a better one!

It was a week long sailing! I am appalled! Well, at first it was just some kinda normal surveys! Was definitely happy to return back to base! Just as we were about to move in into base, one of the officers received a call, and immediately the ship was called to turn around! :( I feel damn sad la! Had to recover some stuffs! Sigh! it was definitely depressing!

our sailing program ended up being extended for 3 days and it was so damn terrible! Basic essentials were being compromised! :( Sigh! Thank god it is over! With it being over, it was an all american breakfast at Copthorne! Hmmm, was not really that wonderful, as I became quite a small eater! Yea!

That saying, I kinda feel bad now as I been speaking ill of someone. It is another officer! Well, i blatantly spoke ill of him infront of everyone, ratings and officers alike, I think i be in trouble! My foul mouth would bring the end of me one day! But definitely one would not speak ill of another without a reason right? Well, it sorta started when I met him like 2nd week after I reported to ship as he was on a course. So, it seems that he has been picking on me! I feel extremely bullied!

If this occured in UK, it was definitely an equality and diversity issue! But, sadly we are back in Singapore! And I am just a small lil low rank officer! So, cannot really complain can i? But, here goes! When everyone was allowed to return home after a Ships dinner, my CO and XO gave me the permission to go home and was given the next day off, however, he insisted that I return back to ship to understudy his duty! It was so damn frustrating la!

Well, that said, all was forgotten till he text someone more senior den me, and asked if I have taken the USB key and passed it to the ratings! GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME! Am I so dumb as to pass classified stuffs around? in the first place, I do not even use the USB key! God damn it! Grrr...... Finally when we had to sail, he had to be on medical status which qualifies him unfit to sail, and many of us believe that was made up! It was just an act! :: sniggers :: Oh well, and we were activated, so we had to sail a week whilst he had nth to do for a week! Yeeeks! detestful behaviour!

But on the happier side, I have a new "brother"! Haha! It kinda started with people saying that we look alike! Wooo...... and we just started being closer friends! Kinda nice to know my lil family has just expanded! Cute lil guy, just a lil younger den me by a few months and we click! And he is currently pursuing Mass Communications, a study that I am interested in! ;) Oh well, at least I got a close new friend to whine to and to entertain me! :p

Right, wanted to take photos, but we cant bring camera into base! Well, if tonight we are still heading out, I would definitely snap pics! Till den....

Woo, how short is life??? This week has been so relaxed that I am not used to it! Well, it aint kinda supposed to be relaxed, but I fell sick! Haha, not a good thing, but yea, had fever on Tue when i returned to work! Had a high fever, but i could not feel the fever myself! Weird! So yea, went on medical status to rest at home for 2 days! So that was about it! Thursday was a community service day at the home for the aged sick! Haha! And finally, friday was RSN's birthday! RSN is now 39 years old! Yay!

Well, sometime back when I was still in Dartmouth, been talking about someone that I like! Oh well, I still kinda like the person! It is weird, the photo we had together, I use it as a bookmark for my books! Yea, its kinda cool! I like it alot, though I did not like myself in the photo! Oh well! But recently someone else is catching my breath! Haha, hopefully, my breath would be caught, as its time for me to get over my crush! We are too far apart! I still think alot, but oh well....

I wanna take some photos soon! I have not been taking photos! Feel kind weird! Haha! I miss being a photo whore! Haha! Oh well, till den....
