They are under the HoT SuN

Here I am, taking lunch in my cabin..not that I am anti-social, or throwing taxpayers' money for the meals provided..BUT the Ang Mohs are crazy over the clear sky and 27 degrees celcius hot sun...the whole lunch venue had been shifted to the garden, well it is quite a coolz idea without enough shelter from the HoT SuN..But I am going to be smart and stay coolz under the heat. Somebody please give them good advice on survival under the heat.....
We had our first brief on Duty Watch, quite excited and looking forward to the different roles that we are playing. They are MEOOW1, Stoker, and lads flashing up the freshwater pump, Diesel engine, Tyne GTRB, centrifuge, lubrication oil system and the steering system. Basically we will be working as a team to get the "ship", HMS Sultan, ready for sea. It is pretty realistic as these machineries are for real......and we will be mainly assessed on our ability of command and control, and fault finding as a MEOOW1. I personally find it tough and challenging especially on building up the teamwork cause my group differs in our priorities and of course, I am not exactly good in all practical stuff...need more practice. I will be running along on my own to sort things out before facing the challenge!!
45 days back to Singapore! Wait for me!!!
