As most of u should noe, i got upgraded to business class when i travelled back to Singapore. U wont believe my luck. On my trip back to Sydney, i was upgraded again!!! Haha... i cldnt believe my luck too, what are the chances, two in a row... hehe... I was initially in the economy class, but i had this very tall white guy sitting right behind me, and i cldnt lean my seat back when taking naps. The very nice air stewardess noticed my discomfort and offered a spare seat in the business class. Bingo! haha... I still cant believe my luck...
Who say cannot bring 肉干 into aust?? Just rumours, and bullshit. Can what... well, i tried and succeeded. haha... i oso had with me a few packets of crispy cuttlefish and satay-fish, all went thru the custom without any probelm at all. If u intend to try, just make sure they're sealed and contained in clear bags.
Not every singaporean went back home this holiday. They've got service trainings, especially the first year, they wont get to go home till like december (& they've been here since january lo). Mr nice-guy thot it would b great to bring them some 家乡 food... and so he 铤而走险 and 'smuggled' the food thru. So thotful of him...
I've said before, Life is kinda fair... whenever Lady Luck comes for a visit, 祸神 shldnt be too far away too. And i was right...
It always take me a while to adapt to the change in climate. When i first got back home, it took almost 2 weeks for my sensitive nose to get used to the air. When she finally get settled down, i feel so sorry to throw her back to the other end of the extremes. It's always so dry, and getting blood stains on the tissue whenever i blow my nose is a common thing. Within 2 hours from waking up this morning, i was sneezing so badly that i used up 1 whole roll of toilet paper... sigh... i'll get better tmr.
Tuesday and thursday are still my most-hated day of the week. I've drills on these days at 7am. The temperature at this time of the day reali puts me off... sigh, and i cant help but thinking of ways to chao keng... i haven come out with any yet though. The parade square was green and i thot it was a great place for drills at the start of the year, when it's summer. Fogs came to inspect on us every now and then during the autumn. At the start of winter, temperature dropped below 8 degrees, and morning dew became morning frost. My boots seemed to like the frost, i had so much of it on my boots at the end of the lesson. My toes werent too happy about it.
Mid-winter now... temperature drops below zero every morning. The frost on the parade square get so cold that there's always a misty layer up to waist level... haha... sounds like heaven?
Minus 4 degrees wasnt reali a very cold temperature to be bitching about... open ur freezer and that should be the temperature. and yea, i probably wont if i'm a civilian, wearing as many nice warm clothings as i can afford... put on gloves, beanie... But no, i'm in a f**king military academy. They reckon is v garang to wear as little as possible... and so 白骨精 like me suffer big time...
Normally, the frost would haf melted when i have PT at 9am on certain days. But last wednesday, the frost decided to hang around a bit longer... and that day my fingers had their first taste of froze bite when doing pushups.
My aussie fren told me next month will be coldest month of the winter.
suck thumb...
Time to forget about all these morale-suckers and i should start looking on the brighter side of my life. I need more positives and perks to start the semester... sth more encouraging.
Tomorrow, there's a lunch gathering for all international students, including indon, malayia, fiji and NZ, in the academy and nearby military bases. Each country is suppose to bring their local food. sigh... headache siah. If we can find singapore food anywhere nearby, i don hav to bring bak gua back liao lo. Our best option is Tiger Beer which is available from the ambassy. The ppl here like the beer very much actually.
Next sunday, the navy sqn is making a trip down to Perisher, a favourite mountain for skiiers and snow-boarders w/in the state. Nah, i'm not there for skiing or boarding. There's some sort of snow related event called 'Leap for Loop' going on there. I'm not quite sure what it's all about. I'm looking forward more to my virgin experience with snow... hehe... thank god, we're wearing civi there. I'll probably come back to Perisher again this coming september break for a skiing course if winter is still around. If not, sun-shine coast would be a good alternative.
Following Saturday, there's a "Singapore Nite" party organised by singaporeans in the nearby uni, Australian National Univerity (ANU). Hope it'll b fun.
Before i end... hey jikok, thanks for the movie files. They all loved it. Get well soon.
