Updates!! Just in case you do not know from my MSN nick or Facebook, I will be leaving for Australia on this Sat for Ex Wallaby 2007. My 2nd time there and No. It's not a holiday trip. For people who think of it this way, they are either dumb or never been there before.
No beds, lockers, PCs, Tv, newspaper and normal bathrooms. I will be lost from Civilization. Just like that hit drama. Lost. I am going to miss surfing my Facebook daily (I am hooked on it!!), playing DOTA, cheap and nice local food (SGD 500 = AUD 373 and the worse part is all that is available are hotdogs, burgers and french fries), relaxing in my bed with a good book (suffering on a safari bed inside a freaking big tent in the middle of a desert, my friends, my mum and simply being in touch with civilization.
But I try not to be too pessimistic here. I had came up with a list of good things that I can get out of this shit hole
1) I will hopefully lose weight and flatten my 3 months pregnancy tummy when I am back. The hot weather and tough training program should be able to do that. For my female friends who swear by slimming pills and Marie France, I recommend an overseas exercise organized by the SAF. You get pay for losing weight!!
2) I will have time to finish the pile of books that I had been buying but had no time to read. The sun rise at freaking 5 a.m (total daylight by 6 am local time, 4 am S'pore time) and set at 5 p.m. With no tv to watch, no training program after 6 p.m and no pc to play around with, your only companion will be a book. For me, it will be 4 books.
3) I will have the chance to enjoy cheap and good beer!! I know this will kinda cancel out point 1 but with coke at a price of AUD 2.20 and beer at a price of AUD 1.40, I think the choice is pretty obvious. You will hate plain water after 3 days as you will have too much to drink during the daytime due to the extreme weather.
4) A nice tan. This is a certainty.
5) A chance to catch up with myself. Yes. Not with friends but with myself. Life had been moving at a relentless pace. Being alone with so much free time on my hand will make it a good chance for me to look back on 2007 and what I had missed out and achieved so far.
Try not to miss me too much when I am not around. Ha. I doubt anyone will feel so ba. But I am sure going to miss all of you.
You can take a picture of something you see. In the future where will I be?
