A Series Of Unfortunate Events

Tonight after work, I have to stop by the store to get some batteries for my camera tomorrow.

The cruise doesn't actually set sail till 2359 hours. But being the cheeky boy that I am, I've taken the day off tomorrow, just because I don't see the point of slaving over the work computer when I'm gonna have fun soon. =P Afterall, I am only a temp, so I don't have any future in what I'm doing.

The cruise is gonna be awesome. The only weird thing about the whole cruise is that we will be boarding at night, which means we'll go on board and sleep in a few minutes. Not really fun at all. I reckon it would be better if they set sail in the evening, then at least we'll have a few hours to explore the ship instead of exploring our rooms.

Nevertheless, I shall try my best to go camera-crazy. I will try to get shots from the moment we approach the ship to the moment we are about to leave. Also, I wanna try to get some sunsetting shots. That is, if I remember. Or if I'm not too busy in the pool trying to impress girls roaming the deck. hehehe it's not like it's my fault. It comes naturally. lol

I just hope that my digital cam can capture the sun setting. It's not like a professional camera or anything, so the lighting of the shot might get affected. Oh well, I will still try, if I can.

Well, mum arrived last night. It was ok. I haven't seen her in nearly 3 months, so it wasn't a very 'needy' arrival. I mean, it was nice to have a new person in my weekly routine, but unlike my brother, who hasn't seen her in nearly 15 months, it wasn't too significant that I saw her again. There hasn't been too many changes since I departed, but she did mention one thing.

She said that I did look 'bigger'. I think bigger in the sense that my shoulders have bulked up, making me look broader. From all the swimming I do, I believe.

She also asked if I have grown taller, but I'm not sure if her suspicions are really legitimate because growing taller to a point where the difference can be noticed is a little bit hard to believe when the absence has only been 3 months. Of course there are cases when that does happen, but very rarely.

Maybe I have grown, maybe just a little bit. Give it that. It'll be nice to think that I am still gonna get taller than I am now. But of course, getting too tall would be just as bad too.

My calculated 'predicted' height when I was two and a half (I think) is 5 foot 11.75 inches, or 1.82m. I don't know whether I will ever reach that height but that is pretty tall. Especially for our family. Our tallest uncle, who is my mum's younger brother, is 5 foot and 11 inches. So if I by some weird chance happen to grow to my predicted height, I would be considered the tallest person in our family, which I really weird. I don't like to be the tallest. You gather a lot of attention. But I'm also glad that I'm not too short either. It's a nice blessing to be tall but not too tall. Actually, I wouldn't mind not growing any taller. I reckon I'm at a nice height of 1.75m as is. Growing to 1.80m would be really weird.
It's really fascinating actually. Because I remember the time when I was the 2nd shortest in the family. For a very long time (hehe), I was always the 2nd shortest in the family. But as soon as I turned 13 or 14, I became the 3rd shortest/tallest, then as I approached 16, I became the 2nd tallest. Not long after, I became the tallest in the family. Amoz keeps saying that he 'allowed' me to grow taller. That he 'gave' all the 'good & nutritious' to me. He claims to have done such a wonderful deed for his little brother, allowing me to get all the seafood, and lots of other miscellaneous vegies which he doesn't like. It's not like I try to eat them all the time. They just look so lonely on his plate and I thought they needed to meet some other 'friends' ... in my stomach. =P

See, works both ways. By eating them, I am filled, and they have friends. And together, they can get to know one another, eventually getting burnt with each other by the pH 2 hydrochloric acid in my stomach.

Together, we care. We love.

Wow, just looking over the blog entry, I can't believe how much rubbish I've written. It's amazing how much nonsense I can blog about. Absolutely shocking. Seriously, do you guys actually read these stuff? What's so interesting about what I'm blabbing on about? It's just me going on and on about how work smells like my feet, and how I am looking forward to joining the Police Force. Besides that, I don't think there's any relevance in what I'm blogging about. ahaha

Anyway, I'm blogging at work now because the cruise is tomorrow, my boss is not here, and I really don't see the point in my working my butt off when I'll be working on Monday again. So I'll just let it all accumulate and then deal with it some other time. Now, I'm all set for a relaxing time on the cruise. I just hope it doesn't rain. If it does, I'll be so very sad. I won't be able to take pictures on deck but I should still be able to swim, if they allow it. Actually, if it does rain, it wouldn't really matter. We'll just hide inside the ship and enjoy whatever facilities they have on board, although, it would be better if it didn't rain. Also, if it does rain, the ship might experience a lot of turbulence which would make everything horrible.

In any case, it will be awesome and I hope to bring back lots of wonderful pictures for you guys to see!!! Until next time...

Bon Voyage to me!
