The Tsunami..



So recalling that period again, I was just posted in, so I dont know much of the them that set sail with me. Do know that I was only posted in for only 2 weeks. So everyone was actually quite new to me. But still I was slowly being accepted into the family, I would say, somehow or another the bond bring us closer together and actually set the path for "greater" time ahead.
Looking back, we actually wont know what to expect, what to do and how are we going to endure the times there. We were told at first to be prepare to stay for half a year, or even longer. The two days of sailing over there, many of us are trying to adpot our mind to the situation, and I know I counted down twice on board LST 207. As Indo, was an hour slower then us.
The 1st two days, I dint get enough sleep, I was busy setting the connection and hooking up the computers, so we can communicate back to Singapore and update our situation back here in Melahboh. It was tough, as I had to fight the wave, and also the sea sickness, I never know it was that tough.
And when we reached, I know I stay most of the period over there on board the ship. never really got a chance to set ashore and see what it like. But I know, from the photos they taken, it was not really a pretty sight. So when I did get my chance, I try to do as much exploring as I can. 5KM, deep in.. everything was gone.

But still as much as the disaster is there, we do try to put a smile on everyone face. What the point of being gloomy, lifes goes on after all. Esp the kids over there, and like I tell my mates, even a place like this there always the beatiful side of it.






The sun set and the sun rise, is what accompany us most of the time, and the deck is the place we often hang out at, to have our dinner, our lunch and where we often chat away our time.

And my working place is where I hang out the most, and cause I taking the night shift, I often talk cock with my Ops Office till the wee morning.


All I want to say actually is tough times dont last, but tough man do.. and all the wonderful memories that follow. Thou as often we had our differences, often we quarrel, but how many times can you actually say that, I been there for you.... And we go through the tough and good times together...
