Ever been aboard a battle ship?

Well, I’m proud to say that I finally have!


Boarding one of the United State’s Ship (USS) – the New Orleans, I knew surprises and fun were bound to happen. Well, I guess skipping class for this learning experience regarding a battleship is worth it after all. Heck, they don’t teach any of it in college, do they? ^_^

Neither is it everyday you get to listen to a white “lecturer”

So off mom and I went from Swettenham Pier in Penang with a speedboat to the USS New Orleans. (that’s not the New Orleans fyi, those are just other lil ships under its wing)

OHMIGAWD.

OHMIGAWD.

OHMIGAWD.
EYE CANDY ALERT!!!

Photobucket
Yes, print this screen and put him on your wall.
I’ve done you (and myself bwahaha) a favour by taking a portrait shot of him

Young and smart white gentlemen with looks to die for and rippling muscles stood in line to welcome us all. Sailorboys. *coughs* Engaging indeed. *coughs* Their drop-dead killer looks would probably make any lady-pirates walk their own plank.

Photobucket
Please break glass to release hottie only in case of emergency
OMGoodness. this. is. an. emergency.
alert!!

^_^


Dressed immaculately in crisp uniforms with tough perfectly-built pectorals puffed up forward, their enchanting gaze would definitely… okay, let’s not go there shall we?
*winks*

Photobucket

So anyway. The first thing that greeted us (apart from the aforementioned sailors) were the flags

Photobucket
Camwhored with those imperial flags

I especially despise the staircases. It would upskirt ANYone. Yes I know I was stupid enough to wear a skirt. Argh crap. I didn’t know we were going to tour a battleship; I envisioned a tour of a normal holiday cruise ship… sans the climbing into hideyholes, nooks and crannies. T_T wtfreak

Photobucket
uggh.. Toldja @_@



Photobucket
Yes that’s how steep the staircases were.

AND GUESS WHO I SAW??

Photobucket
Doesn’t he look like Harry Potter? ^_^
Well, maybe in a decade’s time, that is.

Me alongside the dashing solja boys.
Soulja boy off in this hoe
Watch me crank it
Watch me roll
Watch me crank dat soulja boy
Then super man dat hoe
Photobucket
Mom & I doing what we love
This was taken in one of the cabins

There were two sailorboys sketching the bearrings and the geographic location of the ship and its immediate vicinity. The huge-ass compass was made as reference as I watch them deftly drafting away their work. oooh~

Photobucket


Right, no one’s watching.. ok quick, jump on the Captain’s chair!

Photobucket
Ahh.. 3 seconds of self-proclaimed glory
Photobucket
Totally unrelated I know, but ohwell. knots knots knots, reminds me of my Girl Guides and Scouts movement back in the days

They had a lovely kitchen and a well-kept dining area too.

Photobucket

And sadly, I have not taken even a modicum of anything for breakfast!

Photobucket
I’m hungry already. God bless my gastric juices

Finally, we were out in the open and saw sunshine again.

Photobucket

fresh air at last!!

Photobucket
Tired yet mom? hehe

Photobucket

That’s mom and I on the top of the ship, the open-aired deck with a massive helicopter pad.

Photobucket

There were 3 helicopters parked waiting for me to fly it.

Oh, if only.

Photobucket
But then again, I’d go crashing into canyons and end up as Robinson Crusoe’s successor if I were to ever, ever pilot that helicopter.
darn.

Photobucket
AYE AYE CAP’N!!

Yes, this gurl is lethal when provoked.
I shoot, not only snapshots but bullets as well?

Photobucket

SO IN CONCLUSION,
(sings ala Discovery Channel theme song)
I love battleships and the friendly crew;
BOOM DE YA LA

BOOM DE YA LAA
BOOM DE YA LAA

BOOOOOOOOOOM!
