Looking Young?!?!

Waiouru for two weeks - Home

... and back to Trentham for another three weeks next week.

Well that explains why I haven't been around to blog.

Anyway, I just met these two kids outside the Gym and one of them asked me:

"What school do you go to?"

aye?!? Do I look like I still go to school??

So I told him I am too old for school and I am in the Army.

Then he asked me:

"Are you a cadet?"

um... and all these time I thought wearing my glasses make me look more mature!

Leading up to Easter...

This week's fly by so quickly. Since my big shopping spree in Auckland last weekend I've...

• Monday - admin day - did a bit of study and sort my life out in general.
• Tuesday was a half day - since I have my med board and some jaabs in the afternoon.
• Wednesday was another half day - we had a work lunch then sports.
• Thursday - yep another half day - EKO before a long weekend. Wohoo!

As well as spending this long weekend being a bookworm and studying, I've managed to squeeze in a few runs around camp and a dinner date on Friday. Dinner was awesome and we headed to the bar after. The bar was pretty quiet but amazing that it's even open on a Good Friday.

Sunday

Today the last day before I head down south... other than some more study, study and study... I'm just doing some general tidy up. *Yep-will be gone for another 3 whole weeks* Two down to Fox Glaxier (Yeeha!) and the last week in Trentham.

DRIVING - PART II (OFF ROAD)

Finally got a little more interesting today - we went OFF ROAD!

Pretty cool... started at the 7 Sins, went up and down for a couple of hours this morning.

Then we spent the afternoon driving around the training area.

Other than the gravel bit, it was all very exciting - Never driven off road before, so something new for me today! =)

More off road stuff tomorrow - Can't wait...

and of course there's St Paddy's function after work... go the bar!

It's not WHAT you know; it's WHO you know!

I really got to understand this today. I met him and him today.

They might just be who I need right now.

He might take me home and he might help me fly.

He might be my answer to life and he might solve all my problems.

He might bring me new friends and he might give me a new home.

I'm glad I met them today... whether they really are my answers... we will have to wait and see!

DRIVING - PART I (ON ROAD)

This course has been intereting so far...

The morning was spent doing the usual March In admin etc... and we learn to change tyres.

They didn't believe me when I said I've never changea tyre before. I never have to... I grew up in a city... if my car breaks down, I just need to wave. =)

It's all good. I now know how to use a jack and change tyres.

Then we spent the afternoon driving around Mt Ruapehu, so far so good, we even stopped at BK to get a feed.

I'm kind of tire now... but the days not over yet. We are back for some night driving tonight - same route - round Mt Ruapehu.

Better get a nap before the long drive!

I miss you!

Why do I always run away when you try to get closer?

I'm scared of being close to you, yet I hate being alone.

I miss you... but at the same time I'm afraid of being close to you.

Thank you for always being there. I might not come to you all the time, but I love you.

You make me cry, make me smile, make me feel that love is true.

Our lives change... becasue of who we meet

I guess live can be very simple.

We can make plans but plans will change.

Last September we were all talking about things we want to do... but who knows...

Because of him... you are not going to London anymore. You were so sure that nothing will stop you from going but because of him, you are staying.

Because of him... you are going back to Hong Kong. Don't you want to do your OE anymore? I'm glad... because of him, you finally quit your job.

We don't change ourselves so we can meet the right person but we change because we have met the right person.
