Update

This past few weeks have been fascinating. Theres an end to a good job, beginning of a new one, a beautiful trip overseas and a sad reminder of the past. yes, it has been quite fascinating.

Im done with 5 SIR. After almost a year in the unit, ive learned plenty and made a lot of friends along the way. Hopefully, they feel the same way.. haha..

Its been a tough year, and Im glad to say that I enjoyed my PC tour immensely. The weight of responsibility, the need to make tough decisions and bear the consequences, the excitement before the breach.. Im going to miss it all. Itll be a change to be the one observing instead of actually fighting..

I went to Bali recently, with my beautiful girlfriend Mira (yep, gf already liao! :D) and we had a ball of a time! It was unfortunate that we hardly touched the water, but it was just gorgeous sitting by the sea, looking out at the waves thats the height of a 9 year old crashing against the serene sands.. do that while eating bakso and drinking sosro, and uve got a paradise ready-made. It felt a lot like a honeymoon, and people kept congratulating us for it( it was sweet, but totally untrue. Perhaps their wishes had something to do with the cheap plastic surfboard keychains they were trying to push onto us.. ).

There was one time i had to protect her honour as a couple of gasoline pumping goons were eyeing her up and making obscene gestures with the handle of their pumps (haha.. actually, they complimented on how pretty Mira was to the driver of our vehicle, who passed on the compliments. Honestly, Balinese people are so friendly!)

I want to go overseas again.. probably to australia or europe! that would be excellent.. :)

Anyway, ive been posted as instructor to OCS. So if you guys from the west wanna meet up, just drop me a line, cos im free! and im in the west! woohoo!

Cheers mate. will drop more pics soon..
