I'm back!

I'm finally back from the awful, hot, dry and boring terrains of australia! I've been there for 25 days..but it felt like almost a year. Haven seen sam for ages now! Here i am back in singapore but she's away at South africa! Sigh.

Life there was boring..but the meals were acceptable...better than the food in my camp i must say. Brought A$200 but came back with A$100 haha. And most of the money was spent in the canteen..one plate of chips can cost A$2 and one can of coke $1.50. The only cheap thing there was the beer..the same price as a can of coke.

Spent my R&R period in rockhampton town, was lucky enough to be given a single room at Central Queensland University as accomodation..all the regulars got it actually haha. The rest of them were put up in twin rooms in other motels far away from us. We regulars were allowed to do anything we like during this period..which means free and easy. The NSFs were forced to join a heritage tour.

Me and 2 other friends rented a car to travel around and it was quite fun i must say. We drove at night on dark roads and explored the small little town...frankly there really wasn't anything much to see at all. They didn't have a proper famous brand boutique there..not even Levis or Polo Ralph or anything...nothing...just a KMart and some other small shops. Now you know why i didn't spent much during my R&R period.

But i did watch a movie there..cost me A$13.50...ridiculous right? But its alright...just an experience..and for killing time..coz there wasn't anything else to do haha. Watched Saw 2..the sequel to Saw...interesting and thrilling plot to the show...and i must mention that the director and script writer are both very psychotic and imaginative sadists haha.

Been away for so long that i really don't know the latest news around. But my sister did tell me that Wong Li lin is 5 months pregnant again...they can really keep it going i must say haha. Its my cousin's wedding tomorrow...have to wake up really early because i've been assigned to drive them around lol.

Will blog more again when i have the time. Cheers!
