-TOP SECRET MISSION SPL-

Location: Tamworth NSW Sydney

Local Time: GMT +10

Greetings from Australia!! :)

I hope you guys are doing fine with your individual missions. well, this is the first solo mission report from me ..have to be real careful too keep the confidentiality if not ill be charged. haha nevertheless, i'm doing fine here (just a little airsick intitially) and here are some pictures (not all!).

at the first shop in the airport welcome to sydney!

when we reached the airport, i thought what happen man, so many police cars.. actually they are all taxis.. hahhaha but the taxis have the police lights thingys (later u see)

playing police and thief..

QANTAS FLIGHT 2004 - turbulent.

going on board the turbo prop plane (domestic).. scary..

view from the top! (spot the bridge and the opera house)

can see all the small white boats (actually they're quite big)

see how small the track and field is up from the sky (can u see the ppl running?)

wind blows in ur face!

at the airport junction.. see the plane above us..

the huge signboard, my accomodation block is just nearby!

welcome to tamworth!

saturdays are off for us, so the town is our hangout :) the town is kinda small, can walk the whole town within a day.. but lots of nice shops.. expensive stuff though ;( one thing we had to get used to was the alien stares.. in singapore we stare at ang moh cos they look good, here they stare at us cos we look weird. but most others are really friendly and nice! like the pretty part time workers at the shops :)

ahaha and my first time crossing the road?, i thought we only had like 5 seconds to cross the 3 laned road but.. instead of the green man flashing, the red man flashed, so i DASHED! hahaha. looking more like an asian fool.. oh well..

huge guitar..

the tourist trademark of tamworth city: the golden guitar!

aussie version of burger king: HUNGRY JACKS!

frends we met while playing frisbee

some new friends (haha not australian though)

tired of living...

cold town of tamworth.. 10 deg cel.

see the police lights on the taxi?

anyway for today's off, we went to john's (a very friendly local) house to celebrate national day. HUGE (easily the size of town).. farm and house.. super cool animals running here and there. setting is just serene and perfect. peace and quiet life there until we came to disturb the animals with our noise and cameras hahaha.

pretty rite the horse?

and the goats..

ANYWAY.. sorry i cant show u any pictures of my accomodation and the training area here haha.. cant wait to meet up with u guys when i return. by then ill have the ang moh slang ;) and a aussie girl :) NOT!

take care and all the best for your future missions! including the girls!
