111010 Monday

Today is finally a day to just relax in my camp and do whatever i want. SUDDENLY, OUT OF THE BLUE, ONCE IN A BLUE MOON, MONDAY BLUES, the P-A system called our names to report.

TURNS OUT WE HAD TO GO OUTFIELD AGAIN!!!!!!!! omg i always believe that it hurt the MOST when you gave something to a person and take it back. We thought that we can have the next 2 days resting but now we had to go outfield again =(

A briefing this evening will determine our fate for the next 2 days. stay tuned!

ps, baby mwah!

Today is a special day cos of its nice date and its the last day of the outfield! Its also the day thats the hardest for time to pass by. Just wants to bathe and have a good meal that doesnt come out of a green bag like how you squeeze out toothpaste.

Finally it all ended at about 2plus in the next morning and went back to camp. What a sweet ride.

Able to talk to baby again!

Today is the second weekend without baby. Feels weird. Press on last weekend!

Saw a pair of kangaroos again. Feels different seeing these animals outfield. Kind of fatigue relieving. Hope Singapore has wild animals running around outfield too! (but i know its impossible la. Got, gahment will come and bring it to spca after some kaypoh sporean complains)

Talked about good places to go and Sakae buffet comes into picture almost instantly with its mentai prawn sushi and crabstick tempura! Cant wait to go with baby again! Wanted to bring baby to have pizza on top of marina barrage againm flying kite =)

081010 Friday

Today's long walking journey up and down hills made me understood the idea of hiking and i'm certainly not a fan of that. I'm a city guy, relies on technology and constant happenings.

Theres this guy in our team who are very much like me. He looked so much like Ross in FRIENDS and i asked if he knows. He didnt follow the show but his girlfriend did and this led to us talking about american comedies and soap operas. We talked about common shows like How I Met Your Mother, Glee and a show that we're quite shy to admit watching. (It was gossip girl. I know it sounds gay but we both agreed its worth a guy's time!)

I hope that the field camp can be done and over with soon and i can watch the missed episodes in the comfort of my home and my girl by my side. I just love the sight of her laughing out loud and enjoying herself with my presence =)

Today is the first day of the final outfield! yay! Wondering how the next four days will be like.
The adventure started off great with my first helicopter ride! The 20-minute ride overlooked the mountains of rockhampton and the little streams in betweens. The evening sun glows over the shadows of the knolls. Its relaxing and beautiful. It certainly makes the outfield a little more interesting and new.

i got attached to a team that comprise of a secondary school friend of mine. We were in the same basketball team back then. We updated each other about our lives after secondary school phase and our common friends as well. Though our mission is tough, his humourous jokes and life experiences lifted up the team's spirit.

the thoughts of missing my girl's voices and laughter for four days makes me wanna go home asap. Hope she takes care of herself and cant wait to see the sight of her welcoming back home into her embrace.

061010 Wednesday

Today is the last day in camp before I go outfield for 4D3N. Finish this exercise and I'm FREEEEE!!!!!

Went to MT line's workshop for some bike stuff this morning and heard a compilation of soft rock like Hotel California playing on the stereo. Cant wait to get Band Hero and jam away!

Have been watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S for the past three days, laughing out loud on my bed and everyone just calls me crazy. Its really funny and smart! Seeing them having everyone around everyday makes me miss having family, friends and baby around more. Nothings beats their company.

Gonna call baby for a nice chat before going away for 4 days. Hope i can hear her voice soon =)

051010 Tuesday

Today is another resting day for us. The weather change is warmer day and night. Definitely not good for people going outfield.

Tonight we also had our Happy Hour! Theres free flow cans of aussie beer but i only had half a can. I switched to milk afterwards. I missed milk! =p Theres "tepanyaki" food as well. One is spicy crunchy shrimps and squid rings. The other is... KANGAROO MEAT! haha I dont know if its for real but the quality of the meat is different from common meat like beef or mutton. The meat is softer and smoother compared to beef. No a bad choice of meat actually! (Heard that its more expensive than beef)

Its been quite sometime that i said goodnight to baby and tuck her into bed. Sent an sms. Missing her more everyday =)

031010 Sunday

Today is the end of the 3D2N exercise. 40% outfield done!! Just left with a 4D3N exercise and i'll be done with aussie outfield!

Today is also the day that i first tried the canteen food at camp growl. I had fish & chips plus a coke (what a luxury after outfield!) for lunch. its cost...A$10! Which is like $12 bucks in sg? Nothing much, just a fillet and some soggy chips, but i'll eat that anyday compared to field rations. the coke effect is... Ahhhh~~~, just like in the advertisements.

I went back to camp at around 5pm and no matter how bad the bathing system is, nothing beats cool water pouring on me after outfield.

Finally able to contact my girl after 3 days. Felt so good receiving lots of messages from her =)

Went to a room to have briefing at 9pm. To my surprise, there was an announcement for live streaming soccer after the brief! OMG never have i thought that internet is possible here, let alone live soccer! ( my girl is definitely not gonna ba happy hearing this! ) But my liverpool lost. Heck, not buying their jersey this year.

AND AND!! I saw my first wallaby(s) today!!! The first one i saw was not really big and is crossing the road that my rover is travelling on. Then on my left i saw 4 more hopping away!! Further down i saw emu! Its about the same size like an ostrich but has a neck not as long. I thought of baby when i saw it =p

I'm looking forward to more great surprises =)

Today i went to a high ground, something like top of a hill. The view there was estatic! The huge grass field and cool afternoon breeze makes everything unlike outfield. i watched ants carrying their eggs, shifting their nest and housefly make love! As much as in hate those flies i still let them have their enjoyment and reproduction of their empire.

It was night time again, and i'm on top of my vehicle looking at the stars again. Not even my camp just tens of kilometres away have the same amazing view. I cant help but to think of my girl again.

Nose rub! =)))))

Today is the start of the exercise. Woke up early and set off at about 6am aussie time. The highlight of the day is surely the scenery at night. Galaxy of stars filled the sky like in the movies, nothing like u will ever see in sg. Wish that my girl is here with me, lying on the grass patches star gazing.

the one with the joey - Day 2

300910 Thursday

Today was a preparation day for the outfield tomorrow, spanning 3 days. In the morning we had a tour around our camp. Our camp was mostly made up of tents that can accomodate up to 16 men. They were supported by metal poles and canvas. Strong wind can actually displace the poles, like this afternoon!

The highlight of our tour was of course the welfare section. There was a canteen stall in a metal shipment container, pretty much like a caravan-shop. F&B were expensive and a beer cost exactly the same as a bottle of water! (FYI beer is said to be even cheaper than water before the gahment imposed a tax on it) It even has a 40plus inch flat screen plasma tv for us!

Another section were 2 containers with telephone and computers! It was such a luxury to have it here and keeps us closer to our loved ones, especially my girl =) A A$10 phone card gives u about 39 minutes of talktime, which i think is quite okay. Buy from singapore if u wanna save a couple bucks. Called my mum wishing her a happy birthday. Reminds me of my days in BMT calling back home with the awww feeling. Called my girl in the evening and listen to her laughters. It made my day =)

The open sheltered bathing area consist of multi-coloured water bags over a pulley system. It actually looks like a piece of modern art! We had to fill buckets of water to fill it and switch on the tap allowing water to flow down. Never seen anywhere else!
