17 Sept 1997 Flashback
Didn't write this page on 17/9/97 but wrote it on the 18th. Kept 1st dog today but change with Gunner Tan for last dog because I want to play JRM vs Lion soccer match. JRM lost 2-1 although we lead 1-0 at half-time, Jeff scoring our only goal. I was responsible for the equaliser as the ball slip through my legs. Disappointed with the result, cause our chances of qualifying must be almost zero. Today, expected to see an active volcano at night, I'm on morning watch and bad news. tonight advance time, at middle watch, try to sleep early but JRM meeting in selecting new committee and new things for the mess took up some time. Signoff, Weizhong
Out at sea with volcanic region & Papua New Guinea in the background

On the shipcrew mention, Jeff was the most junior RO (Radio operator) onboard L202. Same age as Cook Tan. I didn't rate him as a soccer player until this day where he was the best player in our team, scoring against the midshipman team. I think I remember vaguely, we didn't put in our strongest team for the 1st half but RO Jeff gave us the lead. In the 2nd half, the so-called stronger JRM team conceded 2 goals and a big loss. I underestimated the midshipman team.
