N22...

so ex wallaby has come and gone. in it, ex dt1 and dt2 (die together twice man...) i must say it was a very enriching experience. eating all that sand has made me appreciate singapore air more. and since the training area is 4x the size of singapore, it wouldn't be uncommon to travel up to 100km a day. in a car it wouldn't be so much of a problem, but in my noisy tin can of a toy... it can give you a real headache, buttache, earache, or whatever ache some might have experienced =p

so our vehicles got beaten up and abused. road wheels flying off during movement, broken cables, mirrors and structures, screwed up petrol gauges, breaking down during movement... it all happened to our 3 vehicles. but luckily my vehicle didn't break down. so when the others did, somehow i had to keep waiting for them just so that they wouldn't get lost

so in the end topo-ing in wallaby didn't turn out to be as hard as i thought it would. gps and bms combined, no armour vehicle can ever get lost again hahaha

the weather there was kind of puzzling as well. apparently it hadn't rained there for more than 5 years, but somehow this time around it rained every 15 minutes! so for me standing up, it's like 5 mins rain followed by 15 mins of sun! just repeat the cycle for a couple of hours and you'd roughly know how screwed up it felt. got quite alot of pictures of the wallaby experience, but for my own safety i can't put up a large percentage of them. too much classified information i guess.

so back from 3 weeks of wallaby, i've now got 3 weeks of off and leave, before i go back to camp for a couple of days, and then run off again until january hahaha this is the soon-to-ord life that i need man. managed to borrow bang's ps2 today, and quite alot of games. intending to borrow josh's ds too hahaha a couple of good new rpgs out for psp too! alot of (rather unproductive) stuff to burn my time with hahaha ok lah they're more like... additional things to do.

today, or rather ytd since it's past midnight, marked my 2 years together with wendy. went to barnacles on sentosa for dinner. it was nice!!! nice and tender lamb, and the ambience was quite nice too! except that the sea breeze let us down for a bit, so i did sweat a little hahaha gave her the whole load of hearts i made for her, glad she liked them. got another video from her for this year again. didn't seem too long ago that i got my 1st video. time flies... many things we've experienced, many ways we've grown and changed for each other. but one thing that hasn't changed is the way we feel for each other... and that's the most important thing =)

we're all waiting for something... something to come our way
