hello everybody! jus had my first weekend out in Tamworth! yesterday it was quite boring, but today was different.. it was fun. we all floooded the sunglasses hut and we bought $1810 worth of sunglasses.. all our eyes went round and big when we saw it over the counter. haha. the sales lady told us that this was the biggest sale she has ever made on a single day. haha.. well. the others bought their sunglasses, 1 of it was rayban, while i bought my "O" watch! haha.. its big but damn ncie! haha.. quality stuff i tell u..

and we bought alot of shirts here.. $100 dollars of shirt.. 7 of them.. haha quite cheap right? the prints are quite nice and cute, and the quality is damn ncie.. really ncie. haha. and that reminds me of yesterday.. haha.. we bought our shirts frm this shop, and outside the shop was another sales lady selling oso clothes, and she was looking at us. haha.. smiled at alot of us.. haha yupz.. she is probably the first pretty girl i've seen here.. really..

and we were lucky today. cos there was this flea market that happens only once a month on sudays, and we stumbled upon this couple who were selling neckless handicrafts, and they're really such sweet and friendly couple.. they're both frm canada, but didn't come to tamworth together.. haha. i bought this damn cool mystry bag that is really really tricky. u can't open it easily without thinking. its like a puzzle.. haha. it took me 5 mins. haha the others took 20 mins.. haha.. damn cool.. and i bought a neckless.. they say they are building a house on a plot of land far far away frm tamworth town and they're staying in their tents for now. haha.. they shared with us alot of their stories of the guy building the house. haha.. they're really cool couple. the girl is quite pretty too, but thats not the point. she looks a little like my exGp teacher ms serena.. yeah.. interesting and nice couple.. haha..

and anyway, the orchard rd here is called PEEL street.. the shops and houses are all below 2 stories high, and we've only seen 2 shopping centers(yes one storey only). one was tamworth center and city mall i think.. city mall was where i bought my watch.. haha.. i have ran out of cash.. i'm resisting the temptation of drawing more money.. lol.. yupz. so thats all.

Australia is having the worst drought in history, as i jus found out a few days ago.. life seem to be going on as usual. The sprinklers (a good way to waste water) were working as usual every single morning and we took baths in the bath tub (alone of cos) like free. and the farm nxt to us was hopelessly browning out. haha..

But guess this was an answer to the prayers of the farmers to the water wasting Eurest (the host here.. its a company btw).. And i've jus started flying and it was good.. had my first sortie yesterday and my second, today was canceled cos of rain. haha.. by the way, Sydney is having a bad flood. Its declared a "natural diseaster". haha.. wat difference frm the drought. but they say that their catchment areas are still not filling up cos "they're too far in while the rain was along the coast" haha...

the instructor was quite nice to me.. asked me if i had flying experience, i said i had alot of solos. he allowed me to take control of the plane for most of the flight.. haha had real fun up in the air. haha. well.. i'm planned for tmrw.. hope the good weather will hold out.. haha

its quite wierd sometimes when u realise how people will think of u more and stuff when u do not have the chance to communicate with them. The moment u have the chance to do it, things become so different. People don't seem to remember you are there and crap. This feeling really sucks. i've sold my new $50 calling card cos i figured out i won't be using it anyway in a hurry.

and finally, i just checked my account balance.. i'm rich.

and the guy that deposited $40 into my bank today pls call me... thanks.. i wanna know who is the crazy bastard...

Hello everybody!!!! no, i've not failed yet, and i'm still here at Tamworth.. and yes, max, i'm at Tamworth, not anywhere else like rockhampton or some spelling like that.. anyway max, do msg me in icq 5850861 after i come back kk...

finally i got to use the computer here SARAH!!!

Anyway, i really love the weather here.. its like aircon temperature, but when the wind blows, *shiver* man.. seriously.. and better still, the rooms are very very nice.. its even betta than most budget hotels in the world.... there is this desk there for u to use, this damn big shelf for all your notes (consists on only 3 folders and errr.. a few more books) and a damn big closet that i only used about 1/100 of it i think.. haha. yeah.. the food? its freaking fattening, oily, free flow of everything including ice cream, and of cos, the food is so much betta than probably jacks place.. haha.. they oso have chinese food catered for us on certain meals.. haha... i've not started flying.. i'm having a freaking long ground now, cos we are supposed to be restricted in movement cos we came from a SARS affected place.. haha..

this batch of 10 that came here before us about 2 weeks, 4 of them has already failed.. 3 of them went home today... notified only yesterday right after they failed.. its like being forced to go home halfway thru ur paradise experience (this training is utopia compared to hendon man)... haha.. what have i been doing? zzzing on the bed, studying, soaking in the bathtub (yes they do have it here) and jus watching tv with th guys..

Anyway, sarah isn't doing too well.. i wished i was there.. but sigh..cant do it.. yesterday i bought a 20$ calling card, and i have only 1$ left in it.. all on sarah.. haha but sarah! i don't mind.. haha looking forward to the time i book out so that i can go get you the gifts! haha

Surprise Sarah! haha i wanted to leave a msg in your blog initially, but i can't access your webbie, and i only have 6 mins and 40 secs here on this mobile internet thing.. $2 for 10 mins.. rip off man.. haha but wat to do man... i've been waiting in this airport since 7 in the morning when i arrived,.. the flight planned for 11 ++ for us was full,so we had to be pushed back to the 1500hr flight.. haha sigh... yeah.. oh well..

the weather is qutie cold here.. they opened the doors that are damn far away, but the chilly winds reaches here... about 200m away.. haha.. we're taking this propeller airplane.. actually quite excited about reaching there.. cos i don't want to hang around here ANYMORE! haha.. heard we're gonna be quarantined for 10 days before any real flying is conducted.. sigh.. i really SARS.. hmmm.. well got to go now! time's running out on the timer!
