finally back.. after around 38 days in the down under, i'm finally back..

extreme weather (very hot days and very cold nights), animals on either sides of ur road and sometimes hopping or running across the road b4 ur car, occasional bushfires are juz some of de several stuff that happened there...

it's hard to come back from 38 days without any memories or new experiences..

overseas training is juz different from staying here.. many things that u take for granted here are juz not available there... not enough equipment? juz hafta make do wif it coz there arent many spare ones.. cant find someone? juz hafta comb through the entire camp either becoz phones haf no auto roaming, or simply becoz it's juz too ex to use...

so many things happened during my stay there... juz to name a few, i experienced a near electrocution (from accumulators though, not power point), bushfire juz across the road from where i'm waiting (like around 10m away? ), and lost quite a few belongings (including my mp3) in an unusual incident.. and who can forget the cold cold nights when i'm outfield for the long 8-day exercise.. the temperature for some days dropped to around 10 to 13 degrees, even one night reaching 9 degrees!! now then i noe u dun haf to be in a place where it's snowing to haf 'visible' breaths coming out from ur mouth... somemore we didnt even haf to purposely make those breaths by doing the 'ha' thing, juz simply talk and the breaths juz come out... in case u still dun understand wad i meant by these 'breaths', it's this..

and not to forget the weird weird feeling we got when we went for the first time to the shopping areas... it's juz so weird to see the australians or the 'ang mohs' as the majority.. in singapore they are like rare, but at there they are simply everywhere so this switch in roles feels weird...

and as i touched down this morning at 4am, some of my frens haf alrdy officially become civilians.. but for me it's rather quick oso ba... around 87 days left.. and that's excluding the off, leave, and weekends i'll haf... so shld be quite fast ba...

life is always abt changes.. things start and things end.. i guess the thing wif me is i dun really like changes.. it's like a break from familiarity, and it starts the whole cycle of getting used.. but i guess i gotta learn to 'put down', or 放下.. too many irregularities and unplanned stuff in life le, so no point holding on to stuff that's inevitably ending... even though i haf no wishes to stay any longer, i guess it'll be quite difficult to get use to the change in the life i've led for the past 1 and a half years... holds true for other stuff too..

kelvin's posting order came as a shock as well.. didnt tot we would outlast his stay at the coy line.. guess we hafta live w/o him for our last month..

and the irritating part is that i'm still sick after so many days (which was logical since i didnt take medication all this while) but i felt i was going to get well juz 2 days ago! but the last 2 days of anyhow eating juz spoilt it all.. wad a way to enjoy the off =/

ok think i gonna stop here.. brain too fuzzy to tink oso.. too sick to concentrate..
