Now that is Hot
Jun 6th
I just cannot begin to explain how hot it is here, according to sources we can expect another five degrees celcius on top of this temperature. Currently we have averages of fourty seven and fourty eight degrees. I think you could cook eggs on the top of cars… Wonder if anyone has tried it? Hmmm… All i can say is thank goodness for air-conditioning… oh tha
Cannot get over the fact that its been six months already. Every now and then i get speaking to someone back home only to realise i have not spoken to them in almost a month. It’s going to be Soccer crazy back in South Africa and just want everyone to Enjoy it safely, very proud of my friend Lisa who is going to be directly involved and im probably going to ask her every day to see how things are going – Sorry lis’! im going to be a bit of a nag bag. 
Something random – I was kind of pleased I havent lost my SA Accent cause I cant hear it anymore, I was chatting away in a shop here on base and some randomd Panteoffel type of character came up to me and he said “Jirre jy praat Kak Hey” hahahahaha classic.
Bomb Voyage Time…
Feb 19th
So I am starting to really repeat myself a lot now over the last few posts, but time really does fly out here, its absolutely ridiculous to think nearly a whole month has passed once again. Lots of people are saying that they cannot believe im going to be out here for a whole year…. well I feel right now, its like “WOW, only a year, will be gone in the blink of an eye at this rate.” Next thing I know I will be back in Sunny South Africa…
I am also starting to settle into a routine which is good, being able to plan time better is my top priority at the moment. Work is becoming a more manageable beast which is always a good thing
The first few weeks here have just been chaos to compare to how things have improved for me personally… although maybe thats just a learning how to manage tasks thing as well. Or just adapting to a new pace of things… who knows.
I was relfecting bck through the posts on this blog of ming and its safe to say that for the time i have had it up and running, i have really neglectied it… I’ve lost track of things for blogging about, going to definately have to re-think this whole blogging strategy with a fine tooth comb or at least put my facebook profile to bed so I spend less time on that beast and more time writing. Hmm… there is a thought now.
The Phalanx, She are a screamer
Jan 12th
Yesterday at around 14:00 I was driving past one of the “Phalanx’s” near where my Billeting is located, on occasion the army test fires the Phalanx. I have hear them test fire them before over the last few days but normally this is from a distance. Well as you can imagine after you do a little research as to what the Phalanx actually is you can imagine what an exhilarating explosion of energy comes out of this device. For your enjoyment I have got a video for you to watch just to put this into perspective.
The Baggy Diner
Jan 10th
So I have been writing this post on and off for the last week, mostly because I haven’t had my own PC until today, YAY
The food here in Baggers is unbelievable, here we are in a war zone in the middle of the desert, and of course I too had to see it to believe it, Lobster for Dinner. Amazing… well thats only the half of it to be honest.
Well I have now lost my train of thought thinking about what to have for dinner, so ill be back soon.
Waves of Change
Dec 30th
So the new year is coming up, 2009, wow! Talk about the future, maybe when the world cup comes to South Africa we might actually have flying cars, just kidding.
I have already started doing a hell of a lot different this year and I intend to continue with this good change in my life. Some of the things that were a real challenge for me are already starting to come right. A great example of this is how I manage money, really not good at managing money at all.
Focusing on work is also something that is a challenge being such a day dreamer, I sometimes find myself daydreaming too long about the big picture out there that i loose track of the small little things which also count. I am finding ways over the last six months which help me focus more so this upcoming year is really going to a roaring success for me in terms of my work.
Just to end off id like to wish everyone all the best for the new year, mines going to be so awesome its not even funny and I hope that you and your loved ones have a pretty swell time in 2009… Cheers.
