UNITED BENETTON of COLORS

26 April, 2009 Sunday is a nice day

I did not go to work yesterday as someone is replacing me. One of my colleagues called me to tell me that he was fined for an argument that he had been involved in with someone after work at the bus stop outside our workplace. I told him that if they intend to deduct his salary with the $1000 fine ask them to show some proof with documents that he is being fined or he will make a police report,together with a MOM report. I told him not to worry so much and see how things go this coming Monday.

Sunday morning, I got up and went to church. After church I came back and did somethings in my room. I was on the internet and reading mails. I need to call Debbie in Ireland later about 1600hrs with regards to the event that she is helping me later in the evening. I have left her in charge of the event that is to be held in MobWorld. Sitting below my void deck with my new laptop, I decided to do alot of things downstairs as it is quite cooling. Perlin is also in msn with me so that we could talk in msn from time to time.

Ok let me do somethings first before I get back here again to update more.Cheers.

23 April, 2009 Time to save

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately and I intend to save as much money as possible. From now on I have make it a point not to lend anyone money as I come to realize that when I am in need no one helps me but myself. So now I could concentrate in getting the things that I need and also saving up to start my own business.

Time has gone by fast and there have been a lot of changes that has happened. I lost my dad 4 years back, leaving me with my mum to care for. I will try my best to do as much as I could and also help out with the home. My younger brother does not seem to care what is happening here at home as he is too bothered with his own personal life that he neglects family.

Sometimes I keep a lot of things to myself that many of my friends do not know. All the know is that I am always happy with all the things I do. In fact the real truth is that sometimes I do need someone I could talk to like a good friend or buddy or galfren or wife. But hey wat can I say....maybe certain things I leave it in the hands of GOD.

I look back at the past that had many events that happened. Sometimes I do miss some of those special moments that I had. Once I leave this country I would not look back to come back here and settle down. My heart does not belong here anymore.It keeps asking me to leave. As the months past by I will do more and more things to reach the goal that I want. I am also looking for something or someone but I guess the time has not come yet for me.

But there is someone I would like to thank and that is Delphine that has taught me certain things and the mistakes that I have made. I hope that things are fine with her. I miss talking to her dad and mum. Delphine has always been the best in many things she do and that is something I would not forget. She has also been supportive in a lot of things that I wanna do. its been like almost coming close to 10years since I last seen her. I wish her all the best. GOD BLESS N GOD SPEED DELPHINE.THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME HOW WRONG I WAS.

Neighbour created a chaos

After coming back from my morning job, I went to bed for a while and woke up in the evening. Was about to go for my nite job when I had a call saying that I need not come in as there were other men doing the duty.They told me to take a break.

About 1900hrs I heard shouts coming out from my home corridor, I could see people on the other block looking over at my block at the commotion that was going on.It happened that my neighbour's daughter had came over to create a chaos as her mother whom had bought her a van wanted the daughter to sell the van away but the daughter did not wanna let it go. So she started screaming and shouting drawing attention to people in the next block.

A few minutes later a police car, police bike and a dog unit van came by. The officers told the daughter to calm down. But the daughter wanted to commit suicide. The officers grab her before she could leap out of the 4th floor corridor. They handcuffed her and took her down to the patrol car, the officers made her sit in the car while the talked. As for me, i went downstairs to get some drinks and food. As I came back, the officers were still there. The whole scenario lasted about an hour. After the officers left with my neighbour's daughter, I went to the internet to see what I could do.

Life at night

Well my working life at nite is kinda interesting as the different kinds of people I meet from different countries. I could see how they work hard to get the things they want. I also realized that the friends that I make here at night are so trustworthy and reliable, we could basically talk about anything.

Most of them I know call me big brother or look up on me. They ask me questions on certain issues. It seems like I am more like a moderator here.haha.....but honestly speaking I like the way the respect me and in return I give them the same respect they need.

Many here work on board of ships cause they have problems at home so earning money on board is a good way for them to enjoy life though it is tough. As time passes I will add more to it. There was a storm last nite and the winds were like 60 knots. It rained like hell too. I n my colleague had to take shelter in the vessel as the others alight from the vessel leaving 2 of us alone there due to the storm.The storm subsided in an hour and things we back to normal, me n my colleague went to rest above the bridge deck so that we could sleep in peace without any disturbances. Got up in the morning and prepare to disembark from the vessel.

20 April, 2009 The happenings for the weeks

This past few weeks there were so many incidents that took place and there are alot of things that I would like to write. For starters I bought 2 new laptops, one for me and one for my mum that cost about S$2,499 and S$1,905 respectively. Also called my good friend Perlin to come over to teach my mum how to use the computer. Perlin is really a nice friend and she understands certain things about me and I feel comfortable talking to her about alot of things. Her boyfriend is having his exams right now. Moreover she stays close to my place. She used to be in Cycle & Carriage in Mercedez Benz Center.

Next, last week there was a fire on board the vessel I was looking after. It took at least 5 hours to put the fire out. No one was injured but the vessel was badly damaged. Now there is no electricity nor aircon in any of the decks. It is so hot in the vessel like a microwave oven. Most of the time my duty is at night till the next morning on the vessel with 2-3 other guys.

Recently, one of my colleagues wrote a letter to our director stating that certain things are not followed and action was taken. My officers got scolded. My colleague is now hated by everyone in the team. Now the officers have marked him. There is also this gal who works in the time office and sometimes if I happen to be on duty, she would walk pass me and smile. Just recently, she said hello to me but I did not say anything. Most of the workers at the place are afraid of me eversince I started taking down names of those who have not been displaying the proper passes. I am shocked to learn from all my other colleagues that within 3 days, all the workers even those in the office start displaying them after I have made some changes in my workplace. Most of the time I am on board a vessel. It is nice to be on board a big ship and see the things around you. As for the chinese gal, I presume she is about 27-29years old and some of my colleagues have notice that she has taken an interest in me but like I said before that I cant be as friendly as how I use to be. My adaptation to the military style has change me alot.

Also lately I have been bringing home some expensive juices from the vessel that was given away. Each bottle cost about S$16.95 and you can only find it in Cold Storage.All of it are pure juices like Orange,Mango,Apple, Tomato, Blackcurrent. My aunt who came over for a visit says that we are living like a rich family with all the expensive food in the fridge. Haha.....I never told her that I got them. Each day I get 2 bottles each at 2.4litres. I told Perlin that I would give her some bottles. Also now there is a small fridge in my room fill with 100plus mostly and other drinks. I also bring home Macademia with caramel ice-creams that cost about S$19.95 per tub and you can get them from Cold Storage. Every day the fridge is fill with things. I need to get a bigger fridge.lmao.......

Ok, today as we were about to finish our duty something strange happened to one of my colleague. Some may not want to believe it but after looking at the injuries that he has received, I do believe him. It seems that about 0505hrs, he was push almost overboard the ship but thank GOD that there was a railing to sustain his fall.And the person that pushed him turns out to be a GHOST. I looked at his shirt that was stained and he sustain injuries, what I heard from the guardhouse was that he walked there and he lost a shoe, his shirt was messy and moreover they thought he was drunk by the way he walked. After realizing what had happened, safety and me decided to state a report and let those know who are working on board the vessel not to be alone. I too get this feeling at times that someone is watching me when I am alone. Our officer in command decided to write a statement and inform the director of what has happened. Thank GOD my colleague is still alive as for someone to fall off the ship at that height,he would not have survived. Take a look at the pictures below recently of all the things that I have taken:

09 April, 2009 Duty on board a vessel

Tis xmas shopping

This coming xmas I will be buying my new car and I have seen a few of the cars that I have decided in getting and these are the few that I have in mind that I intend to get.

If she was with me and things have not happen a year ago, at least she would have been proud to be able to know that I could be the one driving her to work every day. Sometimes I thought of calling her and let the past be the past and start a new in life but there is something that is stopping me from doing that as the hurt is unbearable when you get close to the kids and she takes it all away. That is my only fear. All I ever wanted was to have a family to call my own. I might hate her for certain things that she said but in my heart I know I still do love her and that is something that has stopped me from having another relationship with anyone.

I just hope that one day she could just call me and talk things out like how we use to and get back to the life we once had. Anyway once I get this car, I will be going overseas to many places with it. From singapore to malaysia to thailand and maybe further north all the way up to russia. This has always been my dream car and now that I am looking forward to this coming December to get it after being a workaholic and saving up money.
