At Ambon harbour with 2SG Nantha, attached Naval Diver. I first get to know him during my OJT phase attachment at Patrol Craft RSS Sovereignty where Nantha was the ship Naval gunner. He decided to become a Naval diver later and was attached to our ship for MSTD 97.

This morning, ship sail at 10am and bye to Ambon which is not a nice port, hardly any good stuffs to buy or see any beautiful girls. After SSD, its Sunday routine and I slept for 2 hours before waking up to play soccer. Kept 8pm - 12am watch and the watch was planned by LKY. At the bridge, disturb Wee and he looks angry. Anyway, didn't intend to disturb him too much since he is angry. Tomorrow, hopefully is Saturday routine but I'm on 12pm - 4pm, so not much of a difference. Sea state a bit rocky after sailing off. I'm now waiting for my hair to dry before sleeping. Signoff, Weizhong
Some notes that I scribble at the end of my diary writing for that day. I remember before MSTD sailing on 1st Sep 1997, I went with KCP on the weekend to Peninsula Plaza to buy a camera. We're having food at fast food restaurant (BK) when I saw the girl that I had a crush on during Poly. We didn't see face to face and soon I lost sight of her. Happy to see her then, last saw her during BMT in 95 when she visiting her other friends. I bought my 1st ever camera on that weekend, the Pentax ESPIO 140 film camera @ S$400 from a Peninsula Plaza shop. It is the 2nd most expensive item that I have ever bought at that stage of my life. I bought it for the MSTD trip. I'm grateful for it as it went on to serve me for almost 8 years. Now the internal motor is not working well and it has since retired. Still keep it as an antique.
