3rd Sept 1997 Flashback
Kept morning watch from 4am to 8am together with "somebody" and Wong. Didn't want to sit beside that "somebody" , so do lookout. The watch was ok as there are midshipman there. Afternoon, do things in armoury. Then kept last dog watch and didn't stand for rounds today, avoiding that "??" rounds. In the end, one part of my area was unsatisfactory, LCP Hon told me that XO want it to be done tomorrow. The armoury in the future, need someone to stand for rounds. Too bad, things getting more complex. My frustrations took the better of me as I kept grumbling. I think I should cut down on this.
That "somebody" also in front of the officers at night, made comments of me wearing slippers and shit him, "lian zhi ji ren ye yao sabo", somemore I was at quarterdecks only for 2 minutes. He is really a "koko b ware" man. I use many types of these sort of languages, I didn't want actually but frustration just took control of me. Tomorrow is Sunday routine, therefore I sleep late today, watching TV. Think hardwriting was bad, should improve. Signoff, Weizhong. - 3rd Sept 97

On the shipcrew mention, LCP Hon was my fellow NSF gunner who will soon ORD after the MSTD trip. His ORD date is earlier than many of us though he joined the ship later than us. His fellow batchboy didn't join us for this sailing. Lucky us. Hon likes to ride a tiny motorbike "xiao mian yang". LKY always like to joke with him about tying a rope to his bike and giving it a dip into the sea. LCP Hon is very easygoing person and is intelligent with seaman tasks. Nice chap to have onboard.
On the "keeping watch" term, this is about the work or duty that we perform during sailing. My role during sailing is either that of a helmsman or a lookout. The helmsman assist in steering the ship towards the right course given by the officer of the watch while the lookout uses a bino to keep a look out for any nearby vessels or potential dangers.
