Whats happening in life

Hi guys..I wanted to write about my Hong Kong disneyland visit and my Seoul City tour and then proceed with the other posts and stat updates, but I never got the time.  So Im going to do it later on.  I know it pollutes the timeline of this blog, but hey..thats the way its going to be because its my blog and I will write it whatever way I feel like.
     Right now, Im in Mumbai.  I just watched a movie called 'Ek Deewana Tha'.  Those who are fans of tamil movies may relate better to the name 'Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya'.  Most people around me didnt like the movie for various reasons, but I loved it.  I guess it struck a chord in my mind.  All this did not change the fact that the hindi makeover was really bad.  The climax was changed to suit the need of the audience.  In short, it turned out to be another one of those run in a mill movies.

What's happening in life [Our Ref:EXF19794]

I just came to know that the person who was supposed to relieve me is not willing to join the ship. So right now, my sign off plan is hanging in the balance.
My ship is right now at Hong Kong anchorage awaiting berth. The DMA inspection just got over. Other than the usual deficiencies already known, nothing new was found.
Yesterday, I had a strange idea of visiting HongKong disneyland. I always wanted to go there and the timing tomorrow is perfect for a visit to the place not far from the place my ship would be docked. However, Im keeping my plans a secret for the crew since they dont take it lightly when someone does this while they work(eventhough they say they dont mind it). They still cannot believe that I went to watch the latest Sherlock Holmes movie(game of shadows) in a mall in Panama.
Since the ship is at anchorage, I am currently listening to my initial collection of songs, including 'kadhal konjam' and 'nan odum nadhi pol'. Im taking a small break from the Kannadasan collection. The sign off plan has come as an unpleasant surprise to me at this point. I had planned to attend the cmar course immediately after the sign off and it serves me right to have booked the course so quickly after my return to Chennai. Lets see how things turn out.
Btw, the anchorage view is awesome. Im surrounded by arond 50 vessels and more outside the visible range, all at anchor. Hong Kong entry has always been one of my favourites sight seeing areas. Hopefully, I will get a glimpse of HongKong entrance during the transit. I will write about that tomorrow.
