Week 6
Week 6, a fairly interesting week. Firstly, attended my first mess dinner in UK, Bicentennial Trafalgar night dinner. This year is the Bicentennial of the Battle of Trafalgar, fought on 21 October 1805, is part of the War of the Third Coalition assembled by Britain against France. It was the most significant naval engagement of the Napoleonic Wars and the pivotal naval battle of the 19th century. A Royal Navy fleet of 27 ships of the line destroyed an allied French and Spanish fleet of 33 ships of the line west of Cape Trafalgar in south-west Spain. The allies lost 22 ships; the British none. The British commander Admiral Lord Nelson died late in the battle, by which time he had ensured his place as Britain's greatest naval hero.
The last mess dinner that I attended was 6 years back, when I first commission as an officer from OCS, so I was really excited looking forward to this one, also wanting to learn more bout their cultures and histories. Change into my number 2 uniform. Took a photo with the RMN officer. Look at my Shanghai Tang hair style. Smart? Haha…
The food we had that night.
The wine we had.
Door gift. Wine glass
Now to the weekend. Saturday is the best time to do your laundry. The washing machines and dryers are all mine!!! And again, this week I went out shopping. I hate shopping. Shopping = spending lots of money = breaking my monthly budget. Without a shopping list, I still manage to spend… Went out with MO and Hannah. I realize MO have almost the same bad spending habits as me. He bought S$300 worth of DVD. 0.0 So I am not that bad lah. I only crazy bout CDs not DVDs.
Hannah driving
Fareham Town on a Saturday.
After a day of shopping.
What I bought.
My favorite sweet when I was 12.
New shoes. For soccer. Nice?
After dropping all the items, we decided to head to Gunwharf for dinner. Night view of the Spinnaker Tower. She was officially open this week, 18 Oct 05, 5 years late for a millennium project. From the picture, most of you would agree 5 years is worth the wait.
After dinner we went to a beach. I finally found and did what I have missed in my last 25 years. FIREWORKS!!!
Mo setting up.
Mo on the run. Hahaha…
Eric launching his first fireworks of his life.
It was great fun. They go up as high as 10 stories before exploding throwing out seeds of green/blue/red lights. Mo had all the moment capture in his HP. Will try to get it from him and post it here. With the following photos, eric signing off...
