Sianz... doing duty on a Sunday. Going to have more duties to come. Went bike hunting with Jas yesterday. Went to Looi's Motor and A.S.Phoon. Quoted me 6200 and 6500 respectively. Universal Motor quoted me 6700... Guess the choice is pretty obvious. Heard that there are some lobang in AMK for 6100. Probably gonna check it out when I finish doing all my duties. Oh yar, gotta plan my finance properly too. At the end of the day, I would wanna save some money for my studies and also leave some money for my holiday with Jas and my buddies in mid-dec. Can't wait to go for a good massage and spa with Jas~ =P
Oh yar, back to the bikes. Seems like phantom is gonna be the final choice. Aprilia is just too expensive and difficult to maintain. And none of my friends are recommending it. I guess I would probably ride for 2 years till I get my class 2, then I'll roll out a brand new GSX-R1000! No point rolling out a 2A bike since the difference is not that big. I love driving! I love riding! Oh no I'm so greedy! But then again, I don't really have much interest in other things. I don't like soccer, I don't like collectors item. I just like the feeling of having your own vehicle (be it bike or car) and travelling to anywhere you want (despite the fact the Singapore is damn small). My GSX-R1000!!! Wait for me!!! And for those who don't know what bike is it, refer to previous posts.
Sad news. I am going overseas again. Was unpacking my kit bag the other day when a gunner from Alpha came to inform me that I have been assigned to go to New Zealand mid-Jan for yet another Live Firing. Sianz... didn't unpack much cuz I stuff most of my equipment back in. 3 overseas trip within 6 mths... kinda sianz already. But then again, its not as if I have a choice.

Training in Australia....
Actually wrote a bit of diary when I was training in Australia, but I'm too lazy to update everything into the blog, so I'll just give a brief one in a single blog.... =P
Overall, the whole thing was quite alright. Not much screw-ups. The admin was not too efficient, the canteen was bullshit and the weather is hopeless. The rest of it was okie. The live firing went well. Spent many nights outfield looking at the stars and thinking of Jas. Its really beautiful and there were just soooooooo many stars! If only Jas was here to savour the beautiful night with me...
Finished live-firing earlier than expected. But its no good news because they wanted us to roll-over for another exercise. sianz.... I was not directly involved so I got quite a bit of time. Read a few books. Da Vinci Code, Digital Fortress, Not a Penny More Not a Penny Less, Invisible Trade... Dan Brown is a damn good author. I will definitely be buying the other 2 books, Deception Point and, Angels and Demons. His suspenses were good and kept me glued to the book most of the time.
The R&R was crap. Brought us to some mountain to dig for crystal and "thundereggs". Went shopping and bought a skirt, some shorts and a top for Jas. Bought a berm for myself . Not much night life in Australia. Kinda pathetic... sianz...
Finally back here in Singapore. Home Sweet Home.

Dinner at Sixth Avenue
Met up with Andrew, Audrey, Chin Lee, Camella, Alvin Teo, Lawrence, Kervin, Ian and girlfriend, and Victor at a Brazilian restaurant in Sixth Avenue. Its good to catch up with some old friends once in a while. Discovered that Ian Lee was the one who won the Subaru WRX recently! He is one damn lucky chap.
Ate a lot at the restaurant... mostly meat... so damn full now. The food was not too bad but its very expensive. About 40++ per person... Total for 12 person was $518... gosh... haha... The rest continued to go for a drink at Holland V after that. Did not join then cuz I gotta send Jas home. She is having her last A level paper tomorrow. Goodluck darling~!

Finally back from Wallaby~!
Finally back in Singapore again after 21 days in Australia. Home sweet home! wrote a bit of diary while I'm there, so I'll update them into the blog.....
29 Oct...
Jas sent me off at the airport. Treated her to dinner at Swensen. She wasn't too happy cuz I'm leaving already.... As much as I wanna stay by her side during the most important period of her life, I can't... that makes me very upset. I really hope this is not gonna affect her concentration. Felt a bit like crying at the gate. Seeing CO's son cries, makes me even wanna cry more. But she didn't cry so I must control too... =P Really can't bear to leave her....
The flight was not enjoyable. The stewardess were kinda screwed up. Racists I guess. But who cares. Can't be bothered with them. Brisbane International Airport was a nightmare. Had the worst experience! The queue at the checkout counters was damn long. And worse still, the ppl at the counters were damn slow. Took their own sweet time to slowly process each person. Perhaps I'm just too used to the efficiency of the Changi Airport.... I wouldn't have been so pissed off and would've waited cooly if not for the fact that we have to catch the next plane which is abt at hour away. My whole impression of Australia changed today. Rude, arrogant, fucking racists are just some of their many hopeless characteristics. So damn disappointed with their service standard.

Its a screwed up day. Everything that can go wrong, went wrong. Shan't elaobrate too much. It's classified. In brief, somebody screw up my signal sets, ate sand the whole day, people dunno how to work efficiently, some dumb ass took my helmet without my permission. Irritated!
Missing Jas so much already... many more days to go.....
02 Nov...
Went for another reccee today. Saw bush fire along the way. The fire was damn huge... kinda scary. Vehicle nearly overturned when on our way to one of the deployment grounds. Luckily we managed to push it back. Had many meetings and briefings after that.... damn tired....
