bak from leeuwin.... aaaaaaaaaaa

was such a special week on a ship, rocking back n forth, left n right, up n down n in all directions, until we bcame not used 2 the stillness of land... faced the deep blue ocean 24-7, in the middle of nowhere, the sun shone onto the deck n made my toes really tan...

4 those who had seasick, it was quite crappy at 1st... hahaha but since im pangkorian, n hav pangkorian blood... i had the responsibility 2 bring crackers n hot water 2 seasick person chanel chow who sat up on deck the whole time... coz its easier 2 get sick down there... 1st time in my life, witnessed ppl standing in a row at the side of the ship puking... ugghhh

unforgettable 1 - graveyard night watch from 12am to 4am, was so cold n tired n sleepy n blurry, n it was all dark... but the sky FULL of stars... steered the helm when i was half asleep... aaaaaaaa the longest 4 hrs of my whole life~

unforgettable 2 - climbed 2 the top of main mast

unforgettable 3 - saw whales, dolphins, birds...

unforgettable 4 - FREGGIN GOOD FOOD!!!! lov the cook!!! we had chicken, pork, beef, pasta, potato spinach soup n bread, curry rice, raw naan (the cook was gonna dump it into the sea), loads of crackers etc etc etc yummy~ but i was scared i wud puke too so i din eat too much....

unforgettable 5 - watched the crew perform an act dedicated 2 steeve irrwin... really really crazy... all acted as animals lyk crocs, sting ray n stuff... 变态！

unforgettable 6 - cleaned toilets 4 chanel arghhhh

unforgettable 7 - during a very windy night we were taking down the sails... n the ship rocked lyk crazy, n 1 of the ropes hit the last 3 fingers on my left hand so hard coz of the wind... SOOO painful n numb 4 days... now the last finger is still swollen... my pianoooooo T.T but will heal
