1600 hrs Thursday 10th:
Ah, today’s a typical boring day. There’s nothing particular about it to tell. Just the routine daily duties and other subsistence essentials. I’ve also started to make arrangements to leave the boat in a few days. Quite possibly, I’ll have to wait for a chopper to come and pick me up or otherwise take the crew-change boat which is meant to come around sometime next week. You see, when you’re on the sea, the notion of time is a wee bit different from shore. Let’s see what the weather would be like and where will we be then.
However, let me go back to last night. Looking out over the sea from one of the highest walkways, upon the very first glance, there was something that hooked up my eyes for a good one or two minute. Watching from the starboard side, there was THE MOST AMAZING sight you might imagine. It was so simple, and yet so grand; utterly breathtaking!
T’was the reflection of the full moon lighting up the water surface with an unconceivable brightness and majesty; through which went countless little ripples up-and-down, up-and-down, as if an enormous mirror had fallen off, shattered into a thousand pieces, and floating on the water, in a stone-throw distance over there!
