At first we were all a bit leery when management announced a crew party the evening after we left Singapore, not to mention the day before a sea day. You see, they do random D&A tests on sea days and so going to a party the night before can be a bit of a risk\u2026at least for some people.<\/p>\n
But we all so needed the break.<\/p>\n
Despite the fact that it was baking hot, and we were all exhausted from two days of traipsing around in Singapore, a surprising amount of people showed up to the outdoor Oasis deck.<\/p>\n
Even though I don\u2019t really drink beer, nights like this I carry order a bottle of Corona, because it just feels like one of those kinds of nights. But to be honest, it\u2019s mostly a prop. I think I took about ten sips of it before losing it somewhere. Drinking is really not my thing. Dancing is another matter though.<\/p>\n

For some reason when we hold the crew parties outside instead of in the upstairs indoor lounge, people actually dance<\/i> instead of just standing around bouncing. This is a difference that makes the outdoor parties much more fun. Also it helps that the DJ was playing a good mix last night, including a few insanely ridiculous ones, which are always good for making people double over in laughter.<\/p>\n
Sitting on the edge of the dance floor with my friends from the cast, listening to the music thump and watching the lights flash, I had another one of those \u2018yeah, this is a cool life\u2019 moments\u2026they get few and far between sometimes, when you\u2019re far away from home and feeling the drag of being mid-contract, so you tend to take them where you can find them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
