a blog
really wanna thank God for all that his done.. giving me a good instructor and all that.. thank God for the many things his done to allow me to be in the position i am in.. cos lets face it, i didnt even expect myself to reach this stage when i applied for this job.. back then, just looking at the stats of all who applied and made it thru made me feel small and worthless.. even now there is a long long way to go.. suffering.. learning and pushing myself to the limits even when my body screams for rest..
the aircraft so far has been good to me.. Thank God.. my grades have been alright.. checks and procedures have mostly been squared away and now fundamentals and basics are the next big things to work on.. cos without those, u've got nothing to build on.. u realise u cant fly a decent circuit.. no accuracy at all in ur flying.. thats not i want.. i dont expect too much but im gonna do my best.. lets see what God wants me to do..
miss singapore badly.. 2 months and a week now since ive been away.. my family, mel, friends.. the food, the things to do, the places to relax.. everytime u're away, u always look back at ur country with so much love.. haha.. well but one thing i like abt perth is the weather.. its not humid like back home when i can even sweat when im sitting down.. haha.. went down to north bridge last night and the night life there is not bad.. al fresco dining and chill out places. thats the stuff i like..
well off to study again.. should hit progress check this week and my first solo before the end of the yr.. pls pray for me.. haha..
u guys take care!
God Bless
cheers

A big Thank U!
so life has been progressing.. switched over to daylight savings time so now we're one hr ahead over here.. we used to be in the same timezone as spore.. it takes some getting used to.. for a month we've woken up with the sun up and shinning and now when we wake, everythings still dark.. dan like er do i wake up now not?? cos we're all in our individual rooms.. but theres always a way.. u see the unique thing abt our bunks is that each room has its own sink.. dont ask me why? so whenever a guy uses the sink? the bunks ard him will all also hear that his using his sink.. so thats how i know that its time to wake up.. i'll wait for the sink.. random and maybe ridiculous..
i must say this cos i cant take it anymore.. the flies in perth are HORRID!!! so many.. everywhere.. really really really really really everywhere.. and they'll land everywhere everywhere!! when u're walking, when u're sitting, when u're running.. they'll always be there.. and the worse thing is, that their not out in full force yet cos SUMMER AINT HERE YET!!!! oh my goodness.....
anyway so we're starting to fly soon.. things starting to move faster.. so i'll leave everything to God.. he knows wads the best for me.. anyway just realised im supposed to ORD soon!! like in 6 days time.. yes the feeling sucks.. tink u would know why.. imagine.......
anyway thats the end for today.. gonna study.. as usual... Good nite!
God Bless!
Cheers!

good day
anyway on a lighter note, starting to fly soon.. hopefully.. i'd rather fly and do what i'm paid and supposed to do(although sometimes u think otherwise)..
Mel's bday is next week.. Happy birthday darling!! bought her an ipod touch.. hope u like it.. haha :D.. for that i must say a big thank u to hong jin who helped me alot.. owe him a big one.. didnt know that the touch looks almost like the iphone.. only that it cant call.. haha.. maybe by the time i get back the iphone would be officially out with warranty and all that.. so if anyone is well qualified in using the touch let me know ya. dan will let mel know.. haha..
tink i heard perth is renowned for their flies before i came.. and its true.. the most irriatating creatures on earth.. trying to fly into everything, ur mouth, ears and nose.. so wad do u do? start killing them when they land on ur friend.. next thing u know his covered with fly juice(its back brownish in colour).. haha..
alright its time for me to go.. some of the guys are cooking laksa.. the last one turned out quite well... gonna cook my chilli crab cup noodles too.. hehe dont wanna eat aussie food for dinner tonight.. very sian.. haha..
Take Care
God Bless

juice
anyway tink that the oranges come from antartica deep beneath the frozen ice when once in 3000 yrs stars align and blast a beam towards a narrow spot and melts the ice.. an orange seed carried by the wind from australia finds its way to that fertile piece of land and a lonely orange tree blossoms and bears fruit.. aft yrs the fruits are ripe and dedicated delifrance workers pluck those wonderful fruits off the tree. Then there you have it, oranges that, when squeezed, will give you ur 4.20 dollars worth. that was one of the nicest orange juice i have ever tasted.. but.... ur mind can do things to you to make you feel better.. you figure it out ya? haha
Cheers
God Bless!

studying aerodynamics now.. exam on friday and i havent even read the notes properly yet.. haha! had GFET today and hit 8gs.. quite an experience i must say.. first time that my ass hurt so much.. actually 6 and 8 gs feel almost the same but you can see that with the same technique, you'll definately loc when you're doing the 8. i was like greying out and i gave all i could give in my legs and thank god it all came back.. haha.. if you dont know wad im talking abt its the centifuge that spins ard with a stupid guy sitting inside doing the anti g straining manuoeve.. not fun if you ask me.. all my gyros got screwed up and hate that feeling..

oh ya.....
This was in Otago which was fantastic. First 2 days were spent there..
Behind me was where LOTR was filmed..
The World's smallest penguin.. Extremely Cute!
Visited the Antarctic Centre and experienced the -40 chill room.. haha.. lets just say ive never felt so cold in my whole entire life.. haha
Er ya.. i love the food..
Someone enjoyed herself ah..
Its not everyday that someone gives the directions.. haha kidding
The Main square in Christchurch. if you're wondering, thats a church behind me..
Horse riding in the country side.. We learned how to make it move, trot and stop.. that was enough! haha..
The Dolphins surprised us that day in Milford Sound
Milford Sound.. Considered one of the great wonders of the World.. It was formed by retreating glaciers millions of yrs ago.. fantastic place.. we took an encounter cruise which brought us right next to the rock faces and felt all the waterfalls.. shiok!
LOTR country.. haha.. can just imagine...........
On the Queenstown gondola.. overlooking the town. Its i tink the nicest city in the world..
Fox glacier.. View was amazing.. walk, was like army..
Glacier walk.. it was worth the effort although mel really complained alot! hahaha.. she had fun nonetheless.
This is wad it looks and feels to be standing under a waterfall. A little painful but worth it.. On hindsight, should have worn a raincoat..
The geography of the sound is very interesting.. the almost vertical face of the mountain with some overhanging rock is amazing.. all formed by glaciers..
I think the nicest meal we had throughout the whole trip. the bowl of soup you see there, words cannot describe..
On the right is where we stayed in Queenstown and that is the view we had every morning we woke up..
Yes. Sheep. tink they were lost.......
So in a nutshell, that was the trip. My parents, mel and i.. it was fantastic.. all that i regret was not being able to ski.. we were early by half a month.. sigh but i enjoyed it nonetheless and i really thank God for the opportunity to go.. to think abt it, had actually wanted to go ltr so we could ski but we ended up going earlier.. and when i came back i found out i was pushed forward for ground sch.. so tink everything fell in place.. Wad was the best thing that we did?? I have to say that it was the milford cruise and the shotover jet boat ride.. those were really the best! haha.. so if you're tinking of going down to NZ, let me know k..

agere
it hasnt been bad at all so far.. although the wing has been going thru some changes, i tink we all have to use more survival instinct.. so to those who want to join the service tinking its a bed of roses with high pay and a good life, i can only say you have no idea.. im not gonna discourage anyone but tink it thru.. really.. its for your own good..
well but isnt life in general like that.. its gonna be hard.. i know mine will be in aust and aft that as an ocu if i pass.. well but isnt everyone out there suffering to an extent too? well yes.. so have really controlled myself.. that i shouldnt be so negative.. be happy and live life and enjoy man..
was driving down to soccer on sunday aft sending mel home and was at the SLE CTE slip road into the CTE.. wah some ppl are too much.. was filtering in ahead of this truck. saw that he was quite close so sped up. he sped up too so that he could prevent me from getting in.. like wad in the world la.. we were like jostling in one lane with him trying to force his stupid truck against my car.. couldnt stand it so slowed down and overtook him later to find a stupid indian national guy staring back.. utterly speechless man.. wads his prob?? really wad did i do to him man.. i has ahead of him la.. sigh.. sometimes you just have to let this type of things go.. love ur enemies.. i must and will.. hai..
anyway have left it behind me and all that.. looking back its just another experience that i can take away.. hope you guys too learn from your experiences and control ur anger.. this was difficult nonetheless..
Cheers!
God Bless!!

huh
well its been long. feb was the last post. that was when i was in ocs. that was long long ago. things have changed. changed. perspectives have changed. roads have been repaved. now, im gonna fly the S211 which i tink i was gonna fly. well is it better than the pc 21? pros and cons. i have realised that i have began to say that alot this past few weeks. well look at it this way. life is really abt pros and cons. the decisions u make. things u do. buy ice cream or not to. buy ice cream from the uncle who looks like he picks his nose all the time with his gloves on. pros and cons.. although that might not really be a good example. but u get the drift.
well getting back to where i was, well its really pros and cons. and in the end i dont think i have a choice. wad is choice. havent lived with making choices of my own aft i signed that contract. feels so strange to think abt choices.
well speaking abt choices, ive just realised i made a choice. here i am studying for my flight instruments test with my headphones on and all that and i suddenly thought abt my blog. i nearly forgot the username.. haha. i made a choice to stop studying for awhile and write something.. its fun to write ur thoughts in the most random manner with sometimes the only person who understands what you are writing is urself. me myself and my shadow. flight instruments is boring. so dry. studying it makes me thirsty. need water.
well staying in is not that bad. study and wake up late. great.
cheers and God Bless!

SO....
anyway if you didnt know im in ocs now.. yes again.. again.. i stress the word again... but thank god its air wing.. wearing blue is SO much better than green man.. life has been good.. booking out on fridays now instead of sat like in the army wings.. cant wait to get back to afs.. life in afs is so much better although air wing isnt that bad la.. just thank god for being where i am and with the ppl who are with me..
so its more or less confirmed that my batch will be flying the new plane.. the PC-21 is quite a prospect.. flies faster than the present S211 and the interior is shiok man!! the glass cockpit is something im looking forward to see and use.. just wanna get my wings.. its gonna be awhile but i dont tink i have the choice ya.. such a long backlog.. only flying off to aust next yr.. hai.. get my wings(if i can get them) only like in 2010.. well thats that i guess.....
ive always asked myself this qns when i see the female cadets in OCS.. why in the world would you want to join the army???? WHY????? there just isnt a logical explanation for it!! i mean if its for the air force and navy yes great but army???? but i guess i also have to applaude them for it.. not everyone makes the grade ya.. heard a majority of them in their bmt now are interested in joining as pilots or WSOs.. all the best is all i can say.. scholars.. im just an ordinary farmer.. doing the bidding of the ______. haha.. its not that bad la..
i miss sleeping in late.. sigh.. i miss her... :D
ok thats all for today..
GOd BLess!
