Pirate Press - follow up in Long Beach

The weather here sometimes is really odd. On one-two days, it can be sunny and nice to walk ard in the cool 20 odd deg environment. Come night time, better get the jacket out unless you want to learn 'Han Bing Shen Zhang - Cold Palms' .

Anyway, the Americans I have met so far are friendly enough. Went down to the beach earlier this afternoon (erm here is 11th April 1600, SG there already 12 April 0700 hor) .
So took a few shots here and there, didnt realise I have the camera on manual mode (Forgot to adjust) so end up most of the shots went into the trash bin. (FYI, I am using my latest and prob most expensive credit-card paid-for camera)

Anyway, got a few interesting shots, but you all have to wait until I get back to SG, which is prob 2nd May and 5th May, then I can lug my laptop home (Very cham hor? bring here bring there, just to dl emails into my laptop and read while onboard... but what to do... you got one seaman addicited to correspond by email!)

Anyway, when I mentioned expensive email charges here. I am talking about 17 SGD for 1 hr of usage. So you must imagine how my fingers are after one hour. And the !@#$%^ keyboard they have here are very stiff! *fingers pain pain*

So when you swipe the prepaid card and the timer starts, leaving you watching the timer while composing emails and blogging. Hardly have time to do anything else!

Telephone wise, not really into calling people. After all have been attached-less for almost a year plus, besides calling my mother to let her know my whereabouts, I barely made ph calls to friends. And the PRC people onboard are really good porridge cookers. Much even worse than a friend I know *you know who you are hahaha*

Anyway, will be leaving on Wed (i.e SG thurs) for Kaohsiung Taiwan and then to HK then Shekou, PRC then SG.

Sorry Mr Syn, you got a LOT of rushing to do when back in SG. So bear with me, my friends. More often than not, I would compose mails and lug my laptop back to send off whenever in SG. Wait for my mails then.

Got to go back to ship, will be resuming my duty soon in a hr plus soon. I have dinner to settle as well.

Till next blog, all of you out there, take care.

Pirate Press - in a rush

Pirate calling in from Long Beach, California USA and is in a deadline as the computer will cut off in 6 minutes (timer charged based internet)

So I have to amend my update a little and will follow up when I get more time next mon = SG will be tues. Watch off then.

Crossed the Pacific and landed here on Friday 8th afternoon. Will be here till next Wed and sailing back to Taiwan, KaoHsiung for the next stop.

Cool weather here in California except yesterday was chilly. Darn... 3 minutes...

So to say, sunny in the day and chilly at night. This is how the weather is over here.

Work work work, these are the words in my life since I joined the ship since 28t March. Apart from watching 2-3 movies already, it have been either zzzzz or more work since. Life onboard ship is indeed such a bore. Hahaha... will continue to bore you, all my readers next week when I come into this time-pressurizing computer usage... *grumbles*... 1 minute left.

Okie okie.. cut the long story short. I am well and still kicking alive. To my friends who are concerned over my well-being. Thank you.

30 secs... I shall say my goodbye for now.
Next week!
