Hello you ((: Been nearly 2 mths since i left for the high seas, and damn do I miss Singapore bad. Okie, not really Singapore, but the people! So heres a little update, to those whom I haven’t emailed to!
Firstly, the name of my vessel is ‘Arisara’, some thai name! If u ever wondered why a ship is always refered to as HER, is cause her bottom is always WET. If u get my drift (: My ship is a container vessel, 200m in length. Small ship compared to my last if u were to ask me.
Well for this time around, i get to go places like Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China. So far, I have been so busy getting accustomed to life onboard, the moment i have spare time, i would be sleeping my time away!! But of late, I decided to pamper myself on some Sight-Seeing (:
Keelung, Taiwan. As u have heard, the night life is awesome, not to mention the food. Imagine the night is 10 Degrees, and the entire stretch of road is filled with food stores, warm hot food, with their aroma whiffing through the midst of crowds! Something like Chinatown concept! Awesome much at sucha temperature. Given this in Singapore, singlet and slippers!
For the guys who wana know the beauty of the girls in Taiwan. All i can say is ‘DAMN GIRL!’ Its those kind u see in Taiwan Drama? Yea...
The food is heavenly, probably cause i have been stuffed with Chicken Curry, Fish Curry, Mutton Curry. But check it, this is ‘O-Luah’! Egg and Oyster plenty plenty, wads more the sticky stuff, OOooo!!!
Next went on to try this Crab Meat Soup, with Oily Rice. Scrumptious! A tinge of pepper and its no different from Shark’s Fin if u ask me (:
Then some Mutton Soup, the after taste that lingers between the nooks and crannies of ur tastebuds. The white one is fish soup, duno wad fish is that, but hell, its yummy much! The fish is tangy, very Q. Hah, pardon my adjectives, limited ardy!
Also, i did try their ‘Bing Tang Hu Lu’. Its basically fruits dipped with Honey. Tried strawberry and sour plum. Gosh, sugar rush~ Also, they have this cake, in Singapore we call it ‘Gu-Cai Queh’, here they call it Crystal Veg Cake. The texture is like eating ‘Xiao Long Bao’, except the filling is cabbage and some other Veg~ the size is like those pancake in Mr. Bean? Circle, look like hamburger?
Prior to gorging myself, went on some shopping for winter clothing. Scarfs and all. Busted USD 100 over in 4hrs. Yea, the 2 guys are Engineers from Thailand. Its different, how I am an Officer now. Spending power increases, and u simply just shop like theres no tmr!
In Japan bought myself a camera for USD 250, a lil treat for my hard work onboard. 12 Mega Pixel, with touch screen capabilities. Special Moments shall not be missed again!
Alrightie, enough with the fun. The harsh side, will eventually elude itself sooner or later~ ever had a moment, u haven’t seen a girl for 1.5 months? And i really mean, not a sight, much less the touch of the fairer kind? Oh yea, bet with u, CRAZY!!! Yet to turn gay, see I even bought this magazine. USD 15 for this nonsense, and there isn’t even any nudity!!! FML.. seriously wana seek a refund mann.
Of cause, the missing of my love ones. Sigh. The only form of contact is via email. And insanely expensive phonecalls and sms from overseas. 1 minute cost USD 1. But when ur in my shoes, money is the least of ur concern.
The fear of losing her, wondering what she is constantly doing, and the high anticipation of her mails, sms. Long Distance is perhaps one of the toughest tribulations a couple can undergo. So don’t say ur relationship is ‘Oh so perfect, she is the one, she means everything to me, without her living is futile’. Cause my friend, u haven’t gone through the shit I have been through, to see the side of reality! And yes, it applies to the gentlemen as well (:
Like how i told Gman, life is unpredictable, u might just lose something u hold dear, even before u know it. So live life to the fullest, and do things u wana do. Even if ur attached, doesn’t mean ur bounded to her, its ur life afterall, control it, and live without regrets. Be happy my friend, love urself first, before u love ur partner, cause thats where true love lies.
Not some guru in this department, just wana pen down my thoughts, and share with u guys. Beg to differ if u wish (:
Alrightie, hope u guys had a good CnY. And hope to see u guys again. Missing ya (: shall blog again, gona head out China. Ah Tiongs ftw!!!!!
FUCK CANT LOAD THE PICTURES.. GO FACEBOOK AND SEE!
