When i say i need a break, i didn't expect such a long one.

Given my rather slack life routine, a break to me is a period of time away from camp. Not that i don't like my current life status, but i really want to be as far away as possible from camp, the source of my monotonous life. And i think i got more than my share of the bargain. Look at my schedule man!

Tomorrow night, i will be sailing to nowhere on the (i think) oldest and (confirm) smallest ship of our Navy, the MGB, otherwise known as the sampan. Will be back on friday i think. All depends on how fast the ship want to settle its business and hopefully i am back with pink cheeks and not a pale face. It is that time of the year you know? Don't want to be wrongly recognised.

On Friday, i will be travelling across the Causeway to attend Malaysia Kenshu. Woo! Been 2 years since i attended the last Malaysia Kenshu. Miss the 2006's one due to NS. Although i look forward to the Kenshu, i am not looking forward to the location though. The Kenshu will be held in the forest, literally. The venue is a resort situated on a slope and surrounded by trees. Cool! Talk about going green...

And last on my list is... Incredible India. Will start sailing on 30th and (luckily) not on a sampan but on the newest kid in the block in the RSN, RSS Formidable.



Wah! Frigate leh! The most powerful ship our navy has okay? And best of all, built by the French! Wah! Sibei cool can?

Can't tell you how excited i am. Again, i am not looking forward to the port of call, but rather, the journey itself. This is the first time the ship has divers onboard when they are sailing, so i am sort of a pioneer. Haha. Furthermore, the interior of the ship look so new and so cool and really, you thought you are looking at a cruise liner crew deck rather than a deck of a military ship. They even have a vending machine okay? Overall, the feeling of sailing with the ship is simply fantastic and just so cool! Tell you guys more about the ship when i am back. =)

When will i be back? Hee hee. On Sept 11, which happens to be my birthday! Woohoo! Remember to celebrate for me and not mourn over some big event that happened some years ago okay?

See! In total, 18 days away from camp. Woohoo! Man, I just can't wait for this long break to start!
