still a seedling.

it's been more than a week since i returned to this sunny island.

i must say, everyday is eventful. everyday is different. and it's been less than 2 weeks and i can almost conclude that this summer is a learning period. ALOT TO LEARN.

first. polo. i've been joining the NUS canoe polo team for the past week. and it is INTENSIVE. me, not know most people, crashing their sessions really made me feel very awkward at times. being still new to this sport, im not must contribution to the team. but i think im almost with the year ones? but there is still so much more to learn. but they're equipment are really at the extremes. -.-

next. ship life. yes. have i told you guys that i've been posted to the LANDING SHIP TANK! LST in short. yes. the LARGEST ship in the Navy. im given a cabin of 4 beds all by MYSELF. it's feels like a hotel. it has an attached heads (toilet), and a PC in the room. the ship has a officer dining room and a giant wardroom. :) did i mention a gym too! this is the first time im staying so comfortably onboard a ship. but life isn't that easy. since im still so new to the ship, im have ALOT more to learn. i have till end of this month for my assessment to be qualified to be a Duty officer onboard.

last. driving. yes. today was my second lesson in this entire year. and i think this is one of the worst. it started out from kovan, and the instructor asked me to drive to ubi. for not learning to drive for more than a year, it was REALL tough. still a long way to go.

anyways, all these 3 things have the same effect on me. new. im still new to it. and everytime my instructor/seniors advise me about some stuff, i always look as though im really bad at it. really bad. u know those kind of advise as though they are 'scolding' you. that feeling really suck. and it makes me really really really want to work so much harder to improve. but i dont really have the time and it's been a really tough week.

here's a summary of my week:

monday, reported to tuas. then they told me that im posted to changi -.- but lucky they asked me report the next day.

tuesday, SAF day. reported to ship. knowing it's SAF day, means half day. but being new to the ship, i decided to stay over to learn more about the ship.

wednesday, normal routine. work onboard. left around 5, then after that went to NUS for polo trg at 9 - 11.15 pm. dead shag. took a cab home. slept at 1?

thursday, woke up at 5 to go to work. stay over to under study duty.

friday, sunday routine: means off for the entire ship. but my direct superior is on duty, so i have to understudy. till 4.30? but luckily he sent me home. then driving from 6.50pm to half 8. then home sweet home.

oh ya, btw, today after my driving at kovan. i got a craving for sugar cane juice. then when i was at the stall, the guy called me UNCLE!!!!! WTH. i didn't know it would hit me quite hard. maybe it's because that fellow is probably around my age, and he called me uncle. wth. what a way to end the week.

bah. im craving for supper now but no one's free. damn.
