Ngati Tumatauenga
That’s Maori for the god of war’s people.After coming back from THUNDER WARRIOR ’06…I must say that although some parts were really fucked up (like a certain someone…) but I’ve come to like and love ANZAC. The people, the culture, and least of which the beautiful scenery. That’s also perhaps a huge plus point of going overseas on exercise…you avoid all the tourist traps and see real natural beauty. The snow-capped peak of Mount Ruapehu, which accompanied us wherever we went in Waiouru training area, in all its resplendent beauty…now what tourist thing brings you to such places?
The mornings were, however, bitterly cold, and at places like Nursery, where it gusted almost all night, most of us were just thankful that we had a sleeping bag to burrow into and stay warm all night with. (yes, for all you disbelievers out there, they were that fucking warm. And comfy.) Thank goodness we all adapted more or less for the FATEP phase, which made the mornings much more bearable…
Okay, I’ll write more tomorrow. Am wasted, and the fact that NZ has a +5 time difference from Singapore isn’t particularly helping my creative spark. So, yes…it should be 4 a.m. over there now.
Big yawn now!
