my small little playground


Rest and Recreation

Posted in Uncategorized by duncanchew on December 3, 2009

after staying in that deserted camp growl for 17 days, the next 2 days was RNR before flying back.

first half of the first day was educational package by the army. we were brought to this park where some of the animals roam freely around the park.

we were given a packet of ingredient each when we enter to feed them. it was certainly awesome to get so closeup distance with the kangaroos.

see that small little kangaroo inside its mother?

what was scary was the experience with feeding the emus. they can measure up to around 1.8m to 2m tall and they just peck and go the food. i don’t like their eyes. makes them look so fierce.

after the educational package tour, we went to the resort which we were staying for the night.

you bet we were SCREAMING our way when we opened up the door. the room was huge. we didn’t imagine that army could provide such good facilities for our rnr stay. heard from my campmate this was a 4.5 star resort.

first thing we did after scanning the whole room was to shower!

since we had the priviledge of a bathtub, of course we had to fill it up to use. HIAK HIAK.

after a nice shower, we went down to explore the resort.

pretty chapel right? aww. imagine getting married in the chapel with the nice surroundings.

walk to the beach and was truely mexmerized by the scene. i love their beach, sky and the big blue sea. it’s no wonder they can hold surfing competitions cause they’ve got the waves.

night life at aussie was bad! all the shops were mostly close after 5pm, 6pm so what’s left for us to shop around was their supermarket.

check out this. their self checkout counter.

damm efficient please. i strongly recommend singapore to implement such counters so that we can minus off those cashiers serving us on the less than 10 items queue.

we should learn to self service ourselves instead of being served. but i guess there’ll surely be some singaporeans who will try to miss scanning some items and pack them in.

the night after shopping at the supermarket was drinking in our resort room.

bottoms up!

next morning, we checked out of the resort and was given till night to shop in that nothing-to-shop mall.

maybe it’s just the wrong part of aussie, that’s why there is nothing much to shop.

we were back to rockhampton airport at night.

looking at this air ticket means HELLO SINGAPORE! I’M COMING BACK!! :D

seriously, i can’t imagine time flew by so fast. there goes my month of november for the year.

my parents came to fetch me and thereafter it was home sweet home.

that’s all for my exercise wallaby 2009! :)

bye singapore, HELLO AUSSIE.

Exercise Wallaby 2009 made me realised that i had a lot of first time experiences.

my first time travelling on a plane.

my first time taking pictures with my 48 leopard mates on the plane.

after the almost 7 hours of flight to rockhampton, we had our long kit bag inspection. everything which we brought had to be out for them to check. in case you don’t know, they want our stuffs to all be sand and mud proof.

1.5 hours of bus journey to our camp and it was pouring heavily when we reach there in the late night. super low spirit.

welcome to the camp which i stayed throughout this exercise.


in case you’re wondering. YES! this is the showering point. we had to fill up a pail with water from the tap beside and pour them into these green shower bags to shower.

it’s takes about 3 full pails to fill this shower bag but..

i always have the 4th pail filled with water beside me in case shower until halfway not enough water. :D

toilet bowl was normal flush away kind. phew! i thought we had to dig before we shit and cover it with mud or sand kind at first.

most beautiful part of field camp was sabina beach! i swear you’ll be like WOW…AWW…when you saw that beach. it’s like you finally get to look at the big blue sea after many days of looking at trees, forest fires, sand, mud blah blah.

loving it? that’s the beach for you.

if we didn’t have outfield to go, we would normally stay around in the canteen and watch the many choices of movies dvd which the australian gave us to choose or we would use the computers available to keep in touch with our friends.

weather there is dry, with temperature as high as 35 degrees in the day and about 20 degrees at night.

at the last day before we pack up for RNR, the 3 of us commissioned our combat boots!

cheers to ORD!

Tanya Chua – Projectile

i’m so in love with tanya chua’s latest album since its launch. can’t imagine why i so hated the way she sing and talk last time.

蔡健雅 – 拋物線

我确实说 我这样说 我不在乎结果
我对你说 我有把握 成功例子好多
人们虚假又造作 总爱得不温不火
我们用真心就不会有差错
我没想过我会难过 你竟然离开我

* 爱沿着拋物线 离幸福 总降落得差一点
流着血心跳却不曾被心痛削减 真真切切
青春的拋物线 把未来始于相遇的地点
至高后才了解 世上月圆月缺只是错觉
只是错觉

我好想说 我只想说 我不要这后果
可是你说 相对来说 走开是种解脱
当初亲密的动作 变成当下的闪躲
感情的过程出了什么差错
我没想过我会难过 你终于离开我

p.s will be updating about my life soon. :)
