Of Kebabs, Kabanas and Kangaroos (not to forget chips, pasitos, breka etc etc......)

My memory of australia is mainly this warm fuzzy feeling which i think is best described by the picture (on the left). Lazing around sunning, there was almost a feeling that you had all the time in the world. I think it has something to do with the clear blue sky and fantastic sceneries during sunrises and sunsets which makes u stand back and take a better look at nature, and be in awe of it.

Pretty strange, considering the "worst" i've been through there was certainly some fast-paced action coupled with insane weather. Granted, the live firings were spectacular, the missions tough, the driving exciting, but they all weren't as memorable i guess.




The First Sunrise.







Awesome sunset. Look at the whole range of colours!






A rainbow appeared while we were RTU-ing after endex on the last day. It was evening time also, so the sky was glowing red too...

A fitting send-off for us! For those observant, should be able to see that it's a double rainbow...




In case you were wondering what breka and pasito were. Haha! They were the comfort drinks we survived on in camp though being ripped off by the vendors at the same time. A can(350ml) of pasito costs 2 aussies in camp, but when we went to town during R and R, 2 X 1.5 L of Pasito (shown on the left) costs.... amazingly..... 2 aussies.
Breka's the brand of the milk. My favourite flavor's chocalte though, didn't bother to find it to take a photo. As usual we were ripped off, but not as badly as pasitos....


Okayz.. final pic... this is in sentosa, not aussie.. the crazy lightstrike people that made NS so much more fun and happening... (okay not all of them in this pic, but this is the best one i could find that conveys the lightstrike "spirit" hahaz) we just finished our volleyball game and yes, continued to tao-pok ben in broad daylight. I'm the photographer, so not in the photo :)



I'm not uploading most of the aussie photos cos yah, most of them can't see the light of the day, so pm me if u want to see them....
