  1. Got banned from r/penpals for putting in my email after warning. I will make sure it doesnt happen here. Lol.

  2. Crazy day: was transferring to another ship so I dont have to sail out of singapore for the next 27 days, just finishing up my required seatime so I can go back to school.
    Was expecting tomorrow transfer. Today morning called office: u wil transfer in 3h !! The incoming cadet was my classmate so a bit of mad rush to extra clean up cabin, boat to shore, taxi home to offload 1 suitcase, ate a bit of nicer food, taxi to shipyard to get to a sister ship, coincidentally my first ship, everything coming full circle.
    Previous ship going india to and fro, means if I had stayed on, I would miss school and wait 6 months for next april intake. #luckycadet for office to arrange this.

  3. Turned out there is a bigger asshole than seagull shitting on ship, lazy 2nd officer … at sea. It is my own fcking classmate, fellow cadet from d same country.
    I transfered ship today, taking his cabin, while he’s taking mine on my previous ship. While I did almost d best I could do to tidy up my cabin, fresh linens, no gargabage, he didnt even give me the same courtesy.
    So instead of unpacking and settling down, I had to laundry the linen, sweep mp, clean toilet, removed his hair from 2 drains, cleared garbage and the cherry on top… a cake, quarterly eaten he put at d porthole/window. What a total douchebag. Luckily today is 13th. I was born on 13th so every 13th mentally I have more power to bear with things.
    But of course.. Before the day ends.. I wrote an offical complaint form, will show it back to crewing manager when im back, just need some higher up to give him a talking to.
    Handing over a liveable cabin to your reliever is the most basic decency of a seaman. Fckin ahole!

Then…
I called a recently dumped bff while at burger king (ship at shipyard 1 more day, went out to get nicer junkfood after all this messy cabin ordeal). She got dumped, had to get abortion and in a mess. It a was a long distance r/ship. Girl went to paris to meet bf, bf slapped and kicked her out apartment, broke up and now this…

So my problem aint nothing at all rite. What a day.
I knew it’s gonna be bad when I had to carry big suitcase going through shipyard to my ship. Up 50 staircases, crossed ladder bridge… what a day indeed.

Time to move on, focus that only 27 days left til I finish sea time and prepare to go back to school for 7 months.

Hei hei.

If u dont mind 38M/seaman, singapore.

Please pardon d short forms as im typing dis on a blackberry phone.

I spend 9 months a year at sea so i have the mind space, time and willingness to read and wall text anyone anywhere about anything. Lol.

And since im gonna be onboard til im 70… penpals please :)

So do let me know via pm and I give u my email.
