A favourite quote that i read it somewhere:

*BORN TO FISH, FORCED TO WORK*

check out the place i visit recently….

this is taken at Orange Farm. nothing much but just ORANGES….

..and a frenzly dog name-Kelly with my college and RSM’s kids

this is my catch within 30mins. A total of 25 fish. The fish taste damn good man!!

that basically what i did during my weekend. the fishing part, is damn freezing but worthwhile. especially in winter, grilling the fish that i just catch and eat it with the sambal belachan(tat i bring over from singapore-heng the australia custom did not qurrantine my chilli)

than i did abit of shopping again, getting a adidas sweater and a nike cap. getting a brand new hp soon..heheheheh =)

oh yah, the radio station here is super cute, can hear all sorts of funny type of advertisement slogan or advertisement for sex-toy/condoms…hahhahaha..

oh yah..i’m starting my 1st driving lesson this tuesday…god bless the car(i will always ram the RPM)..hahahha

yap…will try to upload the pic of my visit to CHOCOLATE Factory. can u imagine free sampling of chocolate..and chocolate the size of a walnut that cost me $1.45 each…and big scoop of ice-cream(even thought it is winter now-who cares!!)  simply delicious!! mouth-watering chocolate coated nougarts…

take care folks!!

-surf_on-

it pretty hard to get internet connections for me cause i dun have a land-line in my house. the connection fees to setup a land-line cost about $200. so after some serious thinking, i dun think it worth the money to have a land-line as i wont be at home most of the time. plus, my tour is only 1year and 20days, it’s seems pretty long time, but now it seems so fast.

Now is coming to my 40days stay in perth-aust. time seems to past pretty fast here. not sure why, but i think is because my current workload is ALOT MORE than my pervious branch. so every weekdays is pretty the same, work for me starts from 7am till at least 7pm. why i’m workin so long hours? cause the audit is coming to check on our work.

i not goin to bored ya abt my work, cause it’s nothing much to talk abt other than filing and filing and more filing.

well life for me is pretty the same every week, work during weekdays, than shopping/majong/golfing/babysitting during weekends.

shopping malls are all the same here, there is the major company like, K-mart, Harvey Norman, than a few of there local brand. in the city it abit better, big RIPCURL shop.

still haven the chance to go squash and fishing here. but started to go range to hit golfballs!! it’s pretty cheap in perth and there is no need of me to join the membership than can play golf de.

recently got the chance to go down perth and we drove past the beach…WOW..the view is enchanting man!! super nice….

oh yah, my 1st experience in casino is at australia. i tried my 1st officially gambling and win $30 bucks….

well..that all folks..

take care everyone

life in perth is pretty slow….and it’s very quiet…shops closes at 6pm and onli open till 9pm on thurs…the winter is appoaching thus the sun sets pretty early and dark comes around 5.30pm…

still trying to get use to the atmosphere in 130 Sqn, not very use to my job scope yet as i am learning while working….

have not been exercising seen the day i step into australia….feeling so weird…miss mummy n daddy

happy birthday to Wen You-my cousin(wish ya all the best for ya ‘A’ level)

jus got news from mummy that uncle jeffery passed away on sunday nite. i can feel that She is feeling insecure from her email, which makes me miss her n daddy even more….

although 1year does not seem long….but it dun feels short too…

got to go now…

will try to update soon

take care everyone

at last, i’m in perth….

today is my 2nd night in the airbase, lodging still a problem, so i’m stayin in the bunk for the weekend.

the pace of living is slow, as the australia pple ends works at 3pm…

so not use to it man!!!!

trying to adapt to the life here….

trying hard

i jus cant imagine bidding farewell to my family members this thursday….dunno whether will it be emotional or not….

cant imagine, me crying…..althought it’s only 1 year

jus the thought of it now as i’m typing, i could feel the tears.

well, some1 will say it’s part n parcel of life. but at that very moment upon departure, it’s facta non verba (deeds not words—>actions that counts rather than talking only)

hell man!! i’m thinking abit too much….guess it’s time to sleep…

going to miss the squash team. my wish for them is to collect another lady’s squash GOLD medal for this year pol-ite game, ALL THE BEST GALs..dun disappoint me…train hard!!! belive in yaself n never give up
