A big Thank U!

A big thank u to all u guys who sent me that card! really was very surprised when i went to the post office to collect it.. haha.. all the quotes and stuff.. i'll try to fulfill all that u guys have said ya? haha.. was initially wondering wad it was considering it was so thin and light.. opened it and was like 'wow'.. haha.. thanks guys especially u darling.. u really surprised me with this one.. thanks for everything we've done for me k?? thanks for all the times when u've stood by me when things dont turn out the way we want and especially when im away so often.. BMT, OCS, Tamworth, Brunei and now.. I Love u Mel!! :D anyway in the end i lost in the battle to see who could surpise each other more.. haha..
so life has been progressing.. switched over to daylight savings time so now we're one hr ahead over here.. we used to be in the same timezone as spore.. it takes some getting used to.. for a month we've woken up with the sun up and shinning and now when we wake, everythings still dark.. dan like er do i wake up now not?? cos we're all in our individual rooms.. but theres always a way.. u see the unique thing abt our bunks is that each room has its own sink.. dont ask me why? so whenever a guy uses the sink? the bunks ard him will all also hear that his using his sink.. so thats how i know that its time to wake up.. i'll wait for the sink.. random and maybe ridiculous..

i must say this cos i cant take it anymore.. the flies in perth are HORRID!!! so many.. everywhere.. really really really really really everywhere.. and they'll land everywhere everywhere!! when u're walking, when u're sitting, when u're running.. they'll always be there.. and the worse thing is, that their not out in full force yet cos SUMMER AINT HERE YET!!!! oh my goodness.....

anyway so we're starting to fly soon.. things starting to move faster.. so i'll leave everything to God.. he knows wads the best for me.. anyway just realised im supposed to ORD soon!! like in 6 days time.. yes the feeling sucks.. tink u would know why.. imagine.......

anyway thats the end for today.. gonna study.. as usual... Good nite!
God Bless!
Cheers!

good day

work.. what do you think of when u think of work? fun or just a drag? relaxed or stressful? well so many mixed emotions are felt when u think of work.. its been one month now that i've been in aust.. time i must say has passed very fast.. i think many of us know this already that time passes much faster when u have things to do than when u dont.. that most of the time, when u have things to do, u run out of time to do and accomplish the task... well over here, time has passed very quickly.. ops and other duties.. some ppl are starting to have thoughts while others had those thoughts long ago.. but i guess it all boils down to what u want in ur life.. nothing is easy in this world.. least of all is flying.. military flying especially.. u just cannot imagine..

anyway on a lighter note, starting to fly soon.. hopefully.. i'd rather fly and do what i'm paid and supposed to do(although sometimes u think otherwise)..

Mel's bday is next week.. Happy birthday darling!! bought her an ipod touch.. hope u like it.. haha :D.. for that i must say a big thank u to hong jin who helped me alot.. owe him a big one.. didnt know that the touch looks almost like the iphone.. only that it cant call.. haha.. maybe by the time i get back the iphone would be officially out with warranty and all that.. so if anyone is well qualified in using the touch let me know ya. dan will let mel know.. haha..

tink i heard perth is renowned for their flies before i came.. and its true.. the most irriatating creatures on earth.. trying to fly into everything, ur mouth, ears and nose.. so wad do u do? start killing them when they land on ur friend.. next thing u know his covered with fly juice(its back brownish in colour).. haha..

alright its time for me to go.. some of the guys are cooking laksa.. the last one turned out quite well... gonna cook my chilli crab cup noodles too.. hehe dont wanna eat aussie food for dinner tonight.. very sian.. haha..
Take Care
God Bless

well todays saturday.. had our dining-in last night.. must say i enjoyed myself.. the thing was held at a winery.. a very famous one with absolutely the best landscape and ambience.. It looked super grand and stuff with u know the type of long driveway into the estate with paved roads with flowers and all that beside the road.. A wonderful place for a date or to spend a day plucking the grapes.. haha..it was held with a vineyard as a backdrop, i tink this was one of the most interesting dinners ive ever had.. we had wine throughout the thing and i tink their dessert wine was great! as with all dining ins, there was alot of tradition and customs to be observed.. initially proving quite hard to grasp, i eventually got used to it and relaxed.. hahah..
so next week plus will mark the 1 month mark.. quite fast if u think about it.. im quite surprised myself.. training will be starting soon.. but the studying has just began man.. cant believe how much i have to study man.. jc life all over again..

HOT la!! wads more i tink the suns heat here is much stronger than in spore with all that cloud cover.. u literally can feel the suns heat on ur skin man.. face getting more red.. haha.. should have brought my sunblock.. hai.. thank God for an indoor soccer court.. gonna play soccer ltr.. exercise.. have already put on some weight.. dont wanna put on somemore.. must eat less.. haha! wanna eat hawker food...arh.. tink we'll go out to have some chinese food today or tmr.. desperate.. ok to all back home enjoy urselves.. especially some of u ORDing soon ah.. happy la.. go uni and enjoy ah... hahah!
