  singapore was awesome. my friends and i were lucky enough to have taxi drivers casey and roger to show us around singapore. i had live posh (shrimp) and a fish plate (various fish), a beef plate, and another big type of fish (cooked already) that was smilying at us… reminded me of a christmas story. while we were eating there was a lion (dragon) dance around the blocks at the indoor-outdoor resteruant we were at. then we went karaoking for a couple hours, and unfortunatly, back to the ship. so my 6 or so hours of singapore was pretty neat.

  
  

  other than that, my days here on the ship are now redundant with the gun mount watches. i stand watches on the gun mounts of our ship to prevent attacks from small ships. my watches are unfortanitly the 1200 to 1600 and 0000 to 0400; 4 on and 8 off.. these watches are everyday. except when they stand down the watches for a few days or whatever. my sleeping schedule? they’re naps, not sleep.

  
  

  my time to take the asvab is coming up soon. and then the rumors are spreading around like crazy about where our next liberty ports are. dubai, india, japan, hawaii…??? where i’m not sure. we were supposed to be back in san dog by april 30th (a friday), now the co wants it to be may 1st (sat) so that way there isn’t that many difficulties getting off the ship, liberty, and out of the base, etc… but this is all rumors. all’s i want is to be home now. i miss everyone…
