    Back home. It was a busy Saturday. First, my brother and I went to Funan to look for the new 21.5 inch imac. My brother sms-ed me the day before that he wanted an imac; and I agreed. I would like to spend 800 bucks on this machine. A barely tough decision! Unfortunately, when we got there, we realise that they were selling the old 24 inch imac. Not the one that we want! I was really unhappy to spend my morning away like that! Oh yar, I just went to Apple website and it says “Pending Agency Approval”. Shit. I should have seen it earlier. Never mind…

    My dad then lead me to his office to solve wireless internet connection problem on his computer. It was a piece of cake.

    In the evening, it was my dad’s birthday celebration at a Chinese restaurant. We hadn’t celebrated birthday in a Chinese restaurant for a long time. Usually we have international buffet or japanese meal. I enjoyed the Shark’s fin soup and lobster…

    Then we headed to Tangs at the Orchard. Initially, the plan was to look for Nixon watches to console myself since I couldn’t buy the imac. Opps… Hehe… But the staff were very unfriendly and unhelpful! They ignored me when I stood there for some time. They even talked among themselves. So, I walked away… I walked past….
    Fred Perry - Nope… I promise myself not to by another Fred Perry as everyone owns one..
    Lacoste - The staff was not around. Another weird booth.
    FCUK - Too big. I don’t like.
    Lastly, I walked to Superdry booth. The polo tee is super cool. The cutting super-ly fits me! It would be a crime not to buy. Haha… It costs super high too.

    Back from Tioman! Finally… the miserable 12 days sailing. If I had not gone for shore leave there, I would have been onboard for 12 DAYS STRAIGHT! Mind you, 12 days in the confined space is damn boring. OK, enough of that. Next two weeks, I will be at Phuket. Certainly it will be alot fun than Tioman and alot more photos to take!

    Though ORD-ing soon, I still learnt a number of things during this trip. The new NAV OJT pushed me out of my ‘comfort zone’ to be his so-called mentor. It really transformed me from a CPL with ‘heck-care’ attitude to a CPL with much more responsibility. My reporting improved and I provided crucial information that the OOW wanted. I also got the chance to help NO to do small boat clearance. (It was not easy at all!) This trip also reaffirmed to me that I am the best junior NAV(I don’t care what others say, but I feel its really a fact! And I deserve CFC. HA!)

    Fun…. But, tiring - mentally.

    Sailling Again... (m)
