Yesterday Once More: 1997 Navy MSTD Trip - Day 15

15 Sept 1997 Flashback

Kept 4am - 8am watch and in the morning does some paintwork. Was quite tired in the afternoon, lowered the EP. CO causes much rules and procedures involve more complex things like having safety belt for the mids. LKY was also reprimanded for talking in Hokkien. He was fed up with it. The EP didn't run as smoothly as I thought we could. Play deck soccer for JRM vs Mids (Tiger). Won 3-0, RP Quek netting a hat-trick. Kept 8pm - 12pm watch but went up at 10pm as Hon took 2 hours extra for disregarding pipe. Watch the karaoke competition and there were a few surprise finalists like Yam, LSWT and etc....Tomorrow is "Zhong Qiu Jie", heard there are mooncakes for makan. Quite a few days, never write to C , wonder how doing.

On the shipcrews mention, RP Quek is a regular radarplotter and he came upon L202 later than me though we attended the same basic seamanship course at the same time after our posting from BMT. Quek also come from the same BMT camp (3 BTS) but was from different company.I only know him better via our time in L202. He's a skinny lad who can play football and laugh quite a bit.

LSWT stands for L shipwright. He's the same age as me and we stay in the same crew mess. He's a devoted Christian and looks quiet. If you know him better, he'll open up and show his interesting side. A good guy.

Yam or ME Yam is my favourite L202 soccer teammate. Some call him the Russian tank. He normally plays in defence and makes very powerful clearance. A hard tackler and never gives less than 100% commitment on the football pitch. Aside from football, he's a very friendly, fun loving and sporting chap. He's a Navy regular. Hasn't seen him since I left the Navy.
