LOVE-HATE	[Sep. 8th, 2010\|11:25 pm]
HARRO! i know not many people read this blog anyway. i'm planning to remove it. but i still want an LJ account so i can go view other accounts. so maybe i should just leave it. here's just a list of things that are happening in my life since i came back.. 1) Escapade 2) Band performances 3) Meetings 4) Friendships 5) Starting a whole new business 6) Partying 7) C.C 8) SMA Marketing ..... this is it so far i think. Things that are yet to be done.. 1) Escapade 2) Band performances 3) Meetings 4) Friendships 5) Starting a whole new business 6) Partying 7) C.C 8) PPCDL 9) GO OUT WITH BESTFRIEND (tsk tsk tsk) 10) Kill some people 11) MAKE NEW FRIENDS! :) ...and many many more! Since i came back! i've made so many new friends! yes, mostly girls...but still. i made friends not having the intention to date them. yes. i've decided to remain single for some reason. unless i really find that girl that i know i wont get bored of/cant leave without/ and whatever nonsense that you're supposed to feel when you're in a relationship. SO ANYWAY. i've gone out with almost everyone on my list-of-friends-to-hang-out with. but there're just a few that always seem too busy to hang out with me. i won't be complaining much about it because i know im the free one and other people actually have their own lives and that not everyone revolves around me. haha. big ego burst-er but heck it lah. i think my ego is overrated anyway. its not THAT big. okay. this section is mostly about relationships...heh. Everyone's like getting into relationships and all. but the only thing that got me thinking is when one friend asked me if being in a relationship was meant to be a roller coaster ride? and it still bugs me till this day. when you say roller coaster, it could mean three things...1) happy and excited and full of unexpected surprises. 2) really scary and you feel like puking. 3) ups and downs in the relationship. so yeah. when you get attached. i think you need to ask yourself if your relationship a roller coaster. and which one is it? makes you really reflect. haha. if its the first option then i suggest you go ahead and enjoy the ride! you're really lucky! haha. if its the second option, then i'm really sorry you have to feel this way because its definitely not healthy for you and the guy/girl. you need more TRUST. and a little romance here and there. if you fall in the third option then what i have to say is that you are in a pretty normal relationship. haha. couples do quarrel. if you can't figure out if you're in any of the options, then maybe your boyfriend/girlfriend is a little boring. oops! haha. another question asked was if the whole getting together thing was a little rushed and thus the love they are feeling...is it really love? and the worst part of it is that you're really together with the person because you love him/her or you are just being desperate. or maybe....i just want to know what its like to be in love kinda thing. do we really know the meaning of love? ""Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves."-1 Corinthians 13:4-7 is this the true definition since it came out from the bible? i don't know either. in a nutshell. i cannot answer your question because well, i'm not sure myself. but i do know that the love in a friendship never goes wrong. :D because then again. there're many kinds of love. as i was told... but you can ask yourself the reasons why you got into the relationship in the first place. do you enjoy being in a relationship? are you comfortable..? can you live your life normally with him/her watching over you? if you can answer your own questions...and they seem pretty good. then hey! if you don't have love now, it'll probably come!! but gradually. if you dont however...then i suggest you do something about it. hahaha. so anyway! the reason why im blogging about this is because we engaged in a conversation about relationships today. a really LONG LONG conversation. and it got me thinking as well. just thought i should pen/type my thoughts down once in a while. haha. maybe write a book! ;)

HELLO! guess whattt! i'm back in singapore! and in my room! haha. i was back since yesterday afternoon! and yes, i didn't tell anybody! hahaha. i'm sorry! but i really wanted to keep it a secret! obviously because i only wanted to surprise everyone! haha. at first the company said that i'd have to pay like $300 to launch a boat to pick me up at our anchorage point. but then after that, the agent came and i followed him back! haha. that meant FREE transport! haha. thennnnn, i went to school and surprised sheryle! awww. she had no idea that while texting her, i was already on the way to school. haha. after that, my dad picked me up from school and we headed home! haha. i told my mum that i wasn't able to go ashore. she was so disappointed until i reached home! haha. i totally surprised her lah! hahaha. after that, i went to visit my grandma! and yes, her reaction was more epic than my mum's! hahaha. so funny! we went to chinatown to eat dessert or something. and thennnn, in the night, my parents brought me to suntec to eat astons. it was awesome! awesomest food ever! and for the record, I HATE PORK NOW. hahahaha. yes. i know. amazing. haha. walked around suntec trying to find stuff! like fishing stuff and bak kua and guitar book! but in the end, i only found bak kua. haha. came home, took the car out and went to sheryle's place! and we went over to tamster's place and we chatted for a bit! haha. surprised tamster! awww! GET WELL SOON! she couldn't come to me, so i went to her! haha. after that, brought sheryle home and hung out near her windless pool! haha. in the end, we walked around trying to find wind but we couldn't so i just settled in the car with the aircon! awesome! singapore's hot, but not as hot as indonesia or malaysia! hmmm. left sheryle's place at around 11 45 and met tarci at his house! we went to hk cafe at kovan and hung out till like 2 in the morning! crazy huh! but i love tarci lah! hahaha. i think my stay in singapore was pretty good this short time! my only regret is that i haven't met hanster! =( I REALLY WANT TO! but she was in a lecture when i was in school and my dad was on his way to pick me up. sighh. oh wells! next time round okay hanster! hahah. and for the others that i haven't met! next time too! hahaha. gosh! cant wait to be home for good! i'm starting to think that sailing isn't exactly for me because i love my friends too much and i cant bare leaving them for long periods at a time. i'll think about it. haha. i have to join back my ship again today! i don't know what time will i have to board! because the agent hasn't called me yet. crap. i'm going over to ubi to get my fishing stuff now! haha. take care people! see you in about 4 months!

HELLO! hahaha. so deserie said to update! okay. and i shall! hahaha. hmmm, life on board's been great so far! i've been promoted within the first week that i'm on board. now, my life's all about eating and sleeping and duty-ing. hahaha. see. that's how slack it is because being senior cadet, its the same as being a forth officer. i have my own watch from 4 to 8. haha. yeah. sadly, my pay is still the same. oh wells. ANYWAY! i'm now in taiwan! hahaha. and china is horrible because i have no shore pass. haha. i manage to buy a telephone card though. its got this gprs. shit, these chinese are kinda modern. haha. after taiwan, i'd most probably be going pass japan then heading back to china. there's some rule in china about ships not being able to go into their waters if they're coming from taiwan. so we're going to japan for transit! haha. oh wells. chinese people fight a lot. you know the one very thing i'm happy about this ship is that i get to eat pork EVERYDAY. and everyone knows i LOVE pork. hahahaha. don't you? and oh! i speak chinese from sunrise to sunset everyday. hahaha. its been close to two weeks that i'm on board. gosh how time flies. if only it flies faster. haha. anyway! i'm enjoying my life onboard. everyone's treating me with the due amount of respect i should be getting. the captain loves me as usual. even gave me this coffee because he knows i love coffee. hahaha. SO TAKE CARE ALL! i miss everyone back home! REALLY LOADS. hahaha. vessel tentative schedule... Taiwan-Japan-China-Korea-Malaysia-Singapore-Indonesia-China. (that'll be near the end of may already. hahaha!)

I SHALL CALL and ask if they do sex service! hahahahaha. then i 100% confirm that china hotels are like brothels. ahahahaha! i'm about to leave my hotel room in an hour or so. so i'd better blog before i have no more internet! haha. i'm missing everyone at home like mad now! but talking to sheryle, tamster and hanster isn't making me feel like i'm a million miles away. i ate lunch at the hotel just now also! hahaha. it was alright i guess. i just had to pick the food then they'd take it into the chicken to cook it. the chinese lovessssss pork! hahaha. that's the only good thing about china SO FAR. haha. ermmm. weather here is goooooood! nice and cool. i slept in a king sized bed. and had the hotel receptionist talk to me while i ate. talk about good service! hahaha. i think this is the only thing i'd remember about this place really. hahaha. okay lah! i'm going back to msn! *just got a call.. 1740hrs my agent picking me up. hahaha.

Current Mood

sad

]

Ship now changed to M.T. Frabandari.

headed down to office to collect my boiler suits and sign my ship contract. i'll be off on friday morning. ugh. i hate morning flights! if you read my e ticket, i have to like spend 5 hours in the airport. my god. what am i to do man! haha. go shopping for cheap stuff right! hahaha. my crew's all chinese apparently. my english is going to suck real bad when i come back! haha. i haven't left, yet..i already wanna come back. gosh i'm going to miss everyone.

the worst feeling is being homesick. i have to leave all the fun behind. now seriously, that's freaking sad. the life onboard is always about work. the only fun is probably on sundays when there is no work. i hope these 6 months go past really fast. i want it to. then its back to school! can't wait for it. yeah, believe it. haha.

so anyway! my ship sails around south east asia. i won't be too far from home. at least i'll be in the same time zone. i have a couple of goals i wish to fulfill onboard. hahaha. lets hope it works out.

keep reading this blog because, if i can, i will update this blog as much as possible!

BON VOYAGE TO ME. hahahahahaha.
