I would love to take the B744 but it only operates in other timeslots. Oh well..
Shopping!!! Not for clothes or anything. Gonna bring back truckloads of discs.. Just like how we did in December..
Ms tan, I will contact u when I touch down eh. Meet u at the airport :)
Oh ytd night I was watching American Idol. Happens that it was Mariah Carey week and I just saw it coming. When Carly belted out 'Without You', I just burst into laughter. Her voice was stunning as usual but, that song is just never the same again. Hahaha. I dont get how the judges raved about the guys' performances. Jason sings like he's at the beach every single time.
SCHOOL IS REOPENING! OMG finally?
Cant wait for this hols to be over. I need to move on from it and start a new phase of my life.
Hopefully it will end on a good note with this trip.
Please 拜拜 that I wont fall sick in HK..
BYE! :)
Not againOh yeah, not again! Yours truly fell sick, again! Man what the feck is wrong with me? Yesterday was supposed to be a fun day but I woke up with sucha bad sore throat that I had lost all the mood. I wonder how did that happen since I usually drink like 4-5 cups of water before sleeping... And with sore throat comes fever of course. My forehead was burning and my muscles ached. And I had so many mosquito bites on me! So I had the dengue scare for awhile before I told myself to just relax and snack on Panadol. I forced myself outta bed at 1 plus and went off to City Hall to meet Ning, Enson and Sokfan to go to the 737 simulator! Frankly, I wasnt going to miss that for the world.
So on the way I was like trudging behind the rest, perspiring with every step. Till we got there and it was freezing cold.... Went to this place called Flight Experience and talked to Paul while Mr Cyrano was getting ready in the cockpit. Paul said this was a reward for our hard work in SYFC and I am damn thankful for that. Not only cos it costs a bomb but also for the experience. Mr C would be teaching Principles of Aeronautical Science there I think. The subject we would be taking in our September holidays. Of course i hope it would be affordable for all of us to take part in it..
Basically we had a mock lesson in there, and got to taxi, take off, fly and land etc! You just have to try it to believe it. I was molesting all the dials and buttons and controls because I couldnt get enough of them. Well, as usual, the same problem with my flying. I am always a few steps behind the plane, chasing the instruments. I do hope I get the chance to overcome that. Enson certainly impressed! He took off and landed with absolutely ease, something none of us could. Ning crashed the plane few metres short of the runway while Mr C and sok fan didnt off the auto throttle so the plane went full speed ahead despite already been landed. While for me, I was far too high to land so Mr C took over and he managed to get it down, albeit on the grass. Hahaha so yeah, it was way fun. Could be better without the throbbing headache and burning sore throat.
The first thing I did when I got home was to lie down in bed, covered with a jacket and wrapped in my blanket. Making myself perspire is my sure bet method to cure a fever and as it turns out, when I woke up, I felt slightly better. To my horror, I loooked at the dining table and saw KFC chicken, BBQ chicken wings and whipped potato. HOLY SHIT. I would have eaten those stuff anytime but I need to recover for my trip to HK. And so, after not eating for almost 24 hours, I grabbed an egg sandwich. And thats it. I can actually live on a sandwich a day!
sucks that I cant play squash with Isk and YA today but I am sure there will be another time. Sorry guys!
I cant move my head violently now cos any sudden movement sends a sharp pain through it.
What is happening to me? And I am so hungry...
One more downI look like I have some sort of disease man, with my nose and forehead peeling like nobody's business. It kinda hurts a bit cos its rather raw. Man I am changing skin... Lol
Looking forward to tmr!
Paul just sent an sms like few hours ago, asking us to go to the 737NG simulator with Mr Cyrano! We're supposed to meet him at the Singapore Flyer, a place I am still trying to figure out how to go... But man, its the coolest shit la! I think I cant sleep tonight already...
Spent the entire day today watching serials and polishing my mahjong set. I swear it took like hours and my thumb is so sore now.. Schools starting sooon! And this is such a busy week ahead! Supposedly going to HK this Thursday and back on Saturday evening? Then dinner with Yunhui Lman and Dewitt at T3? Then maybe stay around at the airport cos Ms tan is flying off at 1205am. Madness la. Come back on Friday leave on Saturday.
Just received an email that i am accepted into PICC, which stands for plugging into china connections. stop rolling ur eyes at that. WE ARE CHINESE! anyway the point is, classes are held on saturdays! like wthomgbbq. like hello? I dont do school on weekends. suxxxxxxxx
I think I cant control it anymore. But how do i tell?
That bittersweet thing called flightJust came back from the class chalet which explains my disappearance from the cyber world. It was quite fun, just hanging out and playing with classmates. Especially glad to see people like Isk, YongAnn, Mengyu again after so long. but Mengyu only came for a short while. Yongann is still just full of nonsense and Isk just a really nice person talk to. And of course dear Lekning who was so god-damn drunk, she sent Kangwei and I absolutely mad. They finished a bottle of Absolute Vodka in less than 2 hours? This is the first time I'm seeing the nasty effects of alcohol which just strengthens my resolve not to drink. Not to mention that girl punched me in the nose twice. Lol, but I still love her a lot.
So yeah, thank you LEONARD for everything! for doing all the shit stuffs that comes with organizing a chalet...
But I found it hard to enjoy the chalet cos there was something just gnawing away at the back of my mind. Before I left for chalet, received news from Enson that he didnt make solo. I dont know why but that was hard to take. I tell you, much harder than me getting phased out. I didnt know what to reply or what to say. JHad so much to ask but didnt know how to. Just wanted to be down there at tehe club with him and Yunhui and Cherie. Well maybe I know why it was devastating. I read Yunhui's blog and I couldnt agree more.
"Strange isn't it? We all came here with the dream of flight, never once thinking about the people we'd meet, and the really strange thing is how the people can affect us so much. Life is seldom turns out the way we expect it to does it? People can affect us so much that I nearly forgot that I was here to fly, that all the time, I should be looking forward to that instant I get airborne."
I know that he deserves to go further. All that hard work, committment and passion he gave... I thought that he would maybe go solo another time, but just not getting phased out. He was our instructor, the person who corrects our every mistake, the one who 'scolds' us so we will fly properly and my SIM buddy. Its not just his dream that was shattered but mine too. Ar, this is just hard to digest. Hey Enson if you see this, I hope that u have thought it through and moved on, just like I have. But moving on doesnt mean giving up flying. I have no doubt that one day, you will put on your own flight suit and earn your own wings.
Only 3 months in yfc? Thats arguably the best time in my life already.
Paul came to the chalet on the second day. I just like how unassuming and caring he is. He has no airs about him and doesnt mind going the extra mile to interact with his students. And of course the fact that he probably cares about our future more than most of us do. It was funny how he was talking to us while we were playing mahjong. 2 tables were in action so he was kinda alternating between both. I burst into laughter when he was talking halfway and then she went 'Pong' and he asked ' what is this pong business you have here?"
And he mentioned how this group of us will get a chance to go for a PPL in year 3. I cant even believe hw much I want that. And actually relieved and glad that Enson Sokfan and I might get a second chance afterall, provided we meet all the requirements. And also peeps like Isk, who can get their chance too. It would be damn fun if we can all go M'sia and fly together. Before you go "Aww you've had ur turn, give others a chance", you must first know how much this means to me and how badly I want this. You just wont know until you've had a taste of it. And of course, I want to know if I really suck at it or what. lol
Grace Tan! I dont care which Melbourne Uni you got into ok. I dont care if its the top 30 or whatever. I wont talk to u ever again if you dont come back to Singapore.
Wanted: People to watch movie withAnother lousy week has passed. And we're 2 days into another. Been staying home 5 days a week except weekends when I go to Punggol or Bishan. So all I do is watch films all day long. Dug out some old DVDs I had while I dowloaded some from the internet.. Watched Good Luck Chuck which is a lousy recommendation by Grace tan cos Jessica Alba cant act to save her life. Then watched Borat which was dammmn gooood! And it lets you see all the bigotry, prejudice and stupidity that still exist and is prevalent in this world. Also watched D.E.B.S and Sommersturm, both of which you shouldnt watch if you've a thing against gays. I thought the first one was really really sweet and funny while the second one was so-so. Lastly, I watched Blow again! I've no idea how many times I've watched it. My all time fav movie!
Read about our lecturers on the ST page 1/2. Glad to have this batch of people teaching us. Shows that we're in good hands. :) And enson, ning and I kinda knew that Mr Cyrano was the SQ6 pilot cos Dewitt had told us some time back when we mentioned his name. Thats the worst thing that can ever happen to a pilot and it did. It mus have been harrowing but he's put it behind him and I am looking forward to learning more this coming sem.
Speaking of which, Enson's going solo tmr! Can u believe it? He's certainly come a long way. I dunno if that sounds exciting to you but it certainly is to me! Have faith dude! You can do it! :)
I AM GOING TO HONGKONG :) Supposed to go on the 12th, but there's bazaar by the lake. Then confirmed to go on the 18th but then some dua pai coming back from Shanghai on her BIRTHDAY so now its postponed to 25th. My shopping and SQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ! Donson's supposed to come along but last min his dad disallow. Bugger...
Supposed to go back to CCH since its Miss Lai's bday and I havent been back in a million years. But theres no one to accompany me and going back alone just sounds so loserish. lol
Will be back to Chung Cheng on Saturday for bazaar anyway! Cant wait man..
Happy belated Birthday to my mum! (4th April)
and
Happy Birthday Mummy Lai!!
Go Arsenal!
Huge sighMe here to blog at the unearthly time of 4.34am. Cos I am just done with my dose of champions league football. Man I chose the wrong match to watch. Arsenal Liverpool is the most boring match I've seen in ages. Even worse than Chelsea vs Boro on Sunday night. Basically all that attractive football never did turn up, only lotsa stupid refereeing and really boring stuff. Liverpool closed shop after half time and came this close to parking a bus infront of Reina. While the kayu ref waved away a very very clear penalty for Arsenal. And the ref was like right infront of the action. There is no doubt it was a bloody penalty. And Bentner showed how good he is defensively by clearing Fabregas' goalbound shot off the line. Fantastic stuff, like real. As if it wasnt weird enough supporting Arsenal. Should have just chose to watch Chelsea. Wahaha, Fenerbahce won 2-1 :) I support them parking a bus infront of goal in London next week. Hahaha, what irony...
So yeah, Lakshman watched the Manu match with me last night. Found a fellow Manu fan!!! Doesnt hurt that he admires Ronaldo. And didnt know Enson was watching the Arsenal match till he smsed me. Think Fene just equalised and I told him they were gonna score the winner soon. And yeah! Wahahaha, Chelsea and Liverpool are ending up EMPTY HANDED this yr :)
Ok, enough of soccer stuff. Since like 90% of the people who come here care nuts about football.
Just recovered from an illness and I have stayed up 2 nights in a row. GG!
Saturday went to ACJ Funorama with Hao and Daryl. Nothing much but bloody far. Took a 85 min bus ride with Daryl which resulted in fungal growth on my ass. Used our money on auntie food like lor mai gai and yam cake. So yeah. after that went to dinner cos it was my gong gong's birthday. 75 years and going strong! Dinner was at Safra Yishun so the entire family went to bowl after that. And guess what, after we played 2 games, my outstanding scores were 72 and 86. Gosh, I SUCK. lol. Supposed to mahjong after that but Mr Ooi wasnt free.
Sunday went about at usual. Went to watch Shutter at Cine with Lekning and Enson while Sokfan didnt make it. Think this was what made me sick. Before the movie we went to eat at Burger King (fries burger sprite). The movie started at 2340 and we watched till 1 plus. So 3 kids with no transport home and nothing to do, decided to roam the streets. We just started walking straight ahead, all the way until Raffles Place. Stopped at Macdonalds to grab fries burgers and coke. Enson the monster ate a Mcspicy and a Mcchicken I think. Yes, 2 huge burgers MEALS. He finished the fries cos Lekning and I didnt want to eat anymore. Hahaha
Then continued walking again for a short while before deciding to go home. We spent quite awhile getting on a cab. Dont be mistaken, there were thousands of them on the streets but Lekning wanted to choose the driver who looks the most pleasant. Haha. When she finally got on hers, Enson and I hopped onto a taxi driven by an old lady!!!! We didnt know man and when I say old, I mean really old. Not sure if she should be driving a cab, especially during the graveyard shift!!! But if shes fine with it, i aint got no problem. GIRL POWER YEAH!
Got home at arnd 5? and slept like a pig. Was drifting in and out of sleep, enough for me to realise I was having a fever and a burning sore throat. Didnt get up all the way till 7 pm. Thats like 14 hours of sleep, with plenty of water and panadol in between. Tuesday was spent with me sick too. And drank so much of the healing elixir --- water, that I had to recover man. So now everyday wake up at 3pm, bum around the house, watch tv and sleep.
I am leading a decadent, depressing, empty life. Nothing to look forward to and no motivation at all. Everyday without fail, I just wish I could go down to SYFC and hang around. I need to stop going to the schedule website too and just let it go. I'm ok, its not killing me, just making life very miserable. And god, tell me how to tell people about getting phased out. I wonder who coined that term anyway.
Thank you to my dear friends, daryl, Xin, Cali, Arnold, Hao, Karen, Cherie, Sokfan, tanzhining and instructor Dewitt for all the comforting nice words. I didnt reply to most, esp smses but it definitely helped! Enson is going solo soon! That I am truly happy for. I hope that Yunhui will do well in her circuits and follow suit. Relax sister! And Lekning, she should just stop cancelling flights man. Haha. That girl is always hoping that it rains. Partly cos shes scared to do stalling. Wahaha. Come to think of it, I should have asked Instructor-for-sortie-6 to show me stalling....
Only thing to look forward to is school now. And I'm not even sure I'm that excited abt it. Frankly, I'm quite friendless in poly. And tt sucks big time.
Sad huh
8 December 2007 - 28 March 2008Yes, I am out. My SYFC journey has ended.
Argh, fate was really cruel to me. Firstly, there were only 2 waves of flying today. 3rd and 4th. I flew in the 3rd but the 4th was cancelled. So if only I got planned for 4th wave right? lol. Then I realised that it was really the stupidest thing in the world to cancel my saturday booking. Why in the world did I do that? In the end, Dewitt's back tmr. And he's flying with Enson tmr. Huh, that gave me the impression that I could be flying with him tmr if I just hadn't............
After all the CX flights, I must say I am getting tired of it. Not flying but all the bullshit that comes with it. Sokfan is right, a huge load is off your shoulders. The only regret I have is not being able to fly with Dewitt and perhaps, not being able to wear the flight suit and take a picture with all of them.
During the flight, I thought I did rather well, but obviously my instructor thought otherwise. I am proud to say that I did departure all by myself. Taking off, turning to 300, rolling out, turning to 210, levelling off at 1500ft, switching to Paya Lebar Approach from tower, joining area alpha, then climbing to area bravo. *pat myself on the back. But then again, my failure to do attitude flying screwed it allllll up. I JUST CANT GET THE BLOODY ATTITUDE RIGHT, whether climbing, descending or turning.
So yeah, I was quite disappointed that he gave me a 3 as a final grade. I definitely didnt do that badly. It was in fact my best flight I think. Checks were perfect, departure and stuff were good. I thought that he gave me 3 for the sake of giving me 3. Like ya know, I was getting phased out, so he had to prove a point by putting 3. I was handling everything alright untill I saw him give me so many 3s. It was devastating.
But hey, dont get me wrong, I am not as bitter as I might have sounded. 40 min into the flight, he told me I wasnt going to phase 2. So he tried it to make it memorable for me and I really appreciate what he did. He did 3 things which really really thrilled me.
1) He asked me if I have been on the moon and obviously I said no. So he took off his gloves on put them on his palm. Then he said he was going to show me 0 'G', which is like that at the moon la. You know, space. And off he went, and woosh! The glove was floating in front of me for like 2-3 seconds. That was mightly cool!
2) Then he showed me this manoevre and I forgot its name but he said thats how they use it to look out in the air force. You know those kinda roller coasters that goes 360 degrees? Yeah, something like that. He did it in 2 directions? So I experienced positive and negative Gs. And he said that was 2 'G's or something. I was like going 'HELL YEAH MAN!' And I really really wanted more. Haha.
3) Then he asked: 'Have you touched a cloud before?' And once again, yours truly said no la duh. So he flew thru the clouds and I stuck my hand outta the window.And boy, when I took my hand in, it was moist. Lakshman asked me if I tried to taste the water. Haha, on second thought, I should have tried huh.
Isnt that great? I had so much fun and trust me, I looked at the scenery around me in a much different light. No more stress, no more pressure, no more scoldings. It actually looked so beautiful and I was touched by what I saw. And that was when my eyes got kinda moist. I would miss this place. My playground. Flying should be enjoyed. I took 6 sorties to understand that.
As I walked to the locker room, everything seemed fine. I was packing my stuff when LekNing walked in. And man, the moment I saw her face, I burst into tears. I have no idea why I lost it but I am thankful for her shoulder. It wasnt very long, about 30 seconds, and I was alright alr. So whipped out my camera and started taking pictures. Enson took me to this place that I never know existed. We had to climb up this wall onto a higher platform. And I was sure that the sky looked different from there. We could see the planes 'go around' and their registration letters. 9V-BOI and 9V-BOD. We called out to Lek Ning who was in her plane getting ready to take off. End up her flight was cancelled and she came to join us. We propped ourselves onto this beam and took pictures. Lek Ning and I were so frightened that we would fall off and took so long to get up. Haha, I was so scared and laughing so hard that I teared.
Then the siren for CAT 1 lightning warning sounded so we had to get indoors. But we agreed that it was a good place to bring some chairs, sun tan lotion, food, drinks, a camera, and have a picnic!
As I took 103 with Enson, it hit me that I was doing many things for the last time. When he alighted, I sort of started tearing a little, and lol, I think I scared the army boy sitting next to me. But I realised that I wasnt going to miss the place or the van or the OPs room (and definitely not that witch in recruitment). I will miss the nice people who make the place come alive- instructors, 157 peeps, aunties (maybe) and the uncles. Enson and LekNing were there when I did my first sortie and they were there when I finished my last flight. Thats what matters to me. I knew this was coming and yeah being mentally prepared helps. Though I did felt confident that I could go into Phase 2 during the flight, but thats besides the point la.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me in this journey. Especially Enson, Lekning, Sok fan and Yunhui. My sisters were there to give me support and encouragement and I really appreciate it. In fact I think Yunhui was even more worried than I am. Don't worry dear, I am okay. :)
3 months is too short, I want to keeep these people for life.
And SIR! Ur the hottest instructor ever la. Thank you for everything and I am proud to be your student! I will have fond memories of ur principles and theories of life. Maybe even apply them some day. I hope you'll leave only when sister is done with the course.
Thanks also to Daryl and Xin for lotsa encouragement. I tried my best, so as daryl said, I am gonna keep my chin up and let the flame burn bright.
Dont be afraid to mention SYFC in my face ba. I will tell you my stories with as much enthusiasm. Its nothing disgraceful to be phased out. So don't be sad for me! :) My wish is for the remaining 157 ppl to get their PPL! It wiill be a dream come true for me too.

Where it all began, and where it all ended. I wil not give up flying, that I am sure.
As in the words of Leonardo da Vinci:
"For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." This journey is over. But hey, its the beginning of another..
Skylark 94, I will miss you.
SHIT ALWAYS HAPPEN DON"T THEYAr WTF WTF WTF WTF. I cant believe I got the frigging same instructor for my flight tomorrow again. Looks like I fell flat on my face this time. I purposely cancelled my weekend bookings (cos I was going out), and also cos I wanted to force them to give me a flight on Friday (that was before I knew my instructor was coming back on Saturday). And so, I was so happy with myself that I really got a flight tomorrow. But then the smart aleck got a big smack in the face when she heard who her instructor was. Dang! I can seriously curse and swear till the cows come home now. SIGH.
Let us all put our hands together and pray for torrential rain tomorrow alright? Please please please. I have never been so desperate for rain my entire life. Except that now my life kinda depends on it. ARGH BULL CRAP!
Rain rain please come tmr! Please please please... OMFG
The one with the friends and the chai tao kway thiefHello world. If you haven't heard, I screwed up my sortie 6. It all started with the briefing. Apparently Instrutor R think I wasnt prepared enough. I thought I was, just that I didnt memorize word for word, the way he wanted it. So yeah, stepped out to do external checks and I was feeling like shit alr. And Mistake no 1: I forgot to on the bloody fuel cock. And then I tried to go start the engine. So he asked me if I could really start the engine and keep it going. He asked 3 times and I answered 'YA' 3 times. Damn then I saw the bloody fuel cock offed. Mistake no 2: After I was done with the external checks, I did my pre start checks without checking that my flaps were UP. I dont know how I managed to miss that. Mistake no 3: I was taxying so fast that I almost overshot the line at holding point. So he stepped in to brake and I tio kan liao. Mistake no 4: the freaking RT. I have never been told to 'hold' and 'standby' so many times that I had a hard time hearing and replying them. It didnt help that the guy was mumbling to himself. Well surprisingly he was 'satisfied' with my RT. Mistake no 5: This was the most serious mistake. I was given control to do departure procedures after he took off and I was all over the place. Was flying everywhere except where I was supposed to be.
So end up when we finnaly got to Area Bravo, there was very poor visibility and no horizon. So he asked me if I wanna do this another time. I jumped at that suggestion and just agreed. Too many things have happened for me to fly properly. He would probably have to phase me out. So yeah, knew he was giving me a chance. I just cnt believe I made those mistakes in my checks when I did them perfectly the previous time. Not flying for 3 weeks is deadly man. So glad for this DNCO. But the debrief sheet with every single of my mistakes written down is so so so ugly.
ARGH.
Today went down to yfc to practise on the SIM. As usual Enson and I were there, ready to pounce on the SIM when there's no one using.. Managed to do about 30 min of departure, climbing descending, turning. Oh yeah I saw the handsome picture of our dearest Dewitt in the Newpaper yesterday. I showed it to Enson and Yunhui today. Haha we were complaining that he was deserting us and leaving us orphans to be phased out by other instructors. He's away in Australia and wont be back till Sat. I dunt want to fly with anyone but him la.. bleah....
Sigh I dunno why but I am missing my friends. My real friends. I have been thinking of them the past few days... So I am glad that I will be meeting Hao and Daryl this sat and maybe Jy. I specially went to cancel booking for weekend today okay.... Okay holy shit. I just remember its my ah gong's birthday this Sat and I gotta go for dinner. Oh shit. Damn. Alamak. Say byebye to movie and dinner plans. So anyway ya, I have been thinking of them more than ever after Sat night when Daryl and Jy came over for mahjong. After we played like till 7am? The 3 of us squeezed onto my super single bed and started talking about our crazy sec sch life. Our main topic was Miss Lai, Miss Lai and Miss Lai. Haha, I miss her too. So yakked yakked and all 3 of us actually fell asleep. With limbs, body parts and hair all over the place.. Lol.
And no one is a bigger joker than Jy la. That idiot actually bought $5 chai tao kuay to bring to my hse and was waiting for a bus. Then some smart aleck actually boarded the bus WITHOUT the precious chai tao kway and had to alight and take another bus back to retrieve the delicious food, which was, by that time, gone already! Wth la, who will steal a suspicious looking packet of food lying at a bus stop...
OKIE I finally found some kinda job. The first in this holiday. But its only for 2 days only. I am going to JY's company and put letters into envelopes and get paid $6 per hour. Hahaha, senseless but profitable job I know. I am just a little scared of paper cuts thats all. But hey, dont say no to moolah.
Gonna bathe and get ready to go watch Singapore vs Lebanon! C'mon cheer for the lions! Even though they play like bull crap sometimes...
I GOT MY LUCK BACK!Ar wonderful wonderful long weekend. It seems as though I finally have a life, lol. It all started on Thursday night with mahjong at my house. Won $161, SWEET! Then slept and woke up next day and was prepared for another battle. Headed over to Daryl's house and played overnight mahjong. I won $14, SWEETER! And then I slept at his house and only went back home at 10 pm Saturday night. And guess what? Its another night of mahjong! This time at my crib and that makes it 3 nights in a row. I won $90, SWEETEST! Wahahaha. ($161+$14+$90)/2=$132.5. Thats how much I have won since we play divide by 2.
How great isn't it? Then slept for 3 hours and headed down to kallang leisure park to BOWL! Yeah its my mums company bowling competition and I went to bowl. First time touching a bowling ball ever since the inter sch tourney 2 years ago.. And my scores were 133 and 114 which I would say is very respectable alr. Considering how long I havent played and was using a darn house ball. It actually bought back lotsa memories and I am actually thinking of bowling regularly again. Its such an art to hook the ball into the 1-3 pocket. Sucha beautiful sight..
Finally got my sortie 6 on Tuesday. I am quite sure Auntie hates me. Enson has like 3-4 times a week but for few weeks straight, I get only once a week. And the rains always spoil it. But the thing is, its most likely not Dewitt.. That sucks.. And heard that he let another instructor phase out our 'brother', Lakshman... Thats gonna suck to wait 3 weeks for a flight that will phase you out. I hope they will stop prolonging my misery. Want to let me pass to phase 2, just let me fly. If not, please phase me out. Fishing pissed with how the OPs room are handling my bookings....
Alright, dunno why i get angry everytime I talk about SYFC. Off to concentrate on my formula 1 now... And man, tonight's the big night. Manchester United 5 Liverpool 0. That will make my long weekend all that more enjoyable!!!
Saturdays are different without themArgh, 3 weeks without flight and the withdrawal symtoms are showing. Some pictures I got from Yunhui who got them from Cherie...
 157 girls! Yes, all 6 of us.
 Russell, CHERRY, Sister
 Thats our beloved simulator and Mr Hi in the right seat..
 Gosh, I love them! From clockwise: Lek Ning, Enson, me, Sok Fan, Cherie, Yunhui, Russell, Chris
Here comes the rainDang third wave yesterday was screwed up by rain again. Man this is some serious tough luck. But anyway I wouldnt have flew anyway. I reached the club damn early at 9.. when my flight was at 1430. Went into OPs room and checked out the board. Saw "INSTR ON MC" and I thought to myself, "Man, who so suay sia". Turns out its yours truly. Lol. Get well soon SIR!
And it was a day with mixed feelings. Lekning made it thru to Phase 2 but Sok Fan didnt. Even as sok fan and I had talked about being mentally prepared on Monday, it was still hard to swallow. Cos this means a lot to us. And I cant stop thinking about my own fate too..
But I suppose there's someone up there who doesnt like me very much. I HAVENT TOUCHED A PIPER WARRIOR IN MORE THAN 2 WEEKS! Thats kinda driving me a little mad. Everytime I learn something from a flight and wants to put it to good use, then I've to wait a week or maybe two before I can fly again. I would be lucky to rmb how the cockpit looks like, let alone remember how to correct my mistakes. And to add to my misery now, the simulator's kinda out of bounds now... I feel like its Sortie 1 everytime I fly. And of course now my head is on the chopping board and that kinda makes it two thousand times worse.
Festering at home every single day is no motivation. I am so sick of the TV now. And I actually finished 2 novels last night in less than 5 hours. Man what else can I do? *sobs*
I know its boring to see entry after entry about me being paranoid. But I really really want to fly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL-edKen Leee, tulibu dibu douchoo.
Alright, the above looks like gibberish right? I thought so too, when I saw it on 3 person's MSN nick. So I went to google it and oh my gawd. Its the funniest shit man! I haven't laugh this much in a long time. :):)

So I hung out at Mac today, studying with my sister, Sok Fan. We weren't being good kids and studying for the new term, but rather for both our Sortie 6s tomorrow. We were looking like idiots, sitting there and doing mental flying. Ya know, moving our hands and feet in the air and talking to ourselves. The above was the RT we were practising. Just part of it cos I am too lazy to type everything out. She will be calling me tonight to practise it lol. Last flight or not, we're gonna make it a good one. I want to request taxy for circuits too!!!!
Life is boring and meaningless now. And its kinda late to find a job since we're 3 weeks into the hols. But what about the remaining 4 weeks??? I can only watch that many TV programmes... And the weather forecast sucks... It predicted lotsa rain for the wkend and 2 wks ahead? But haven't seen a drop since Friday. I am so gonna freak out if it rains tomorrow.
Thats Lee YX flying at 1430 tmr
Oh yeah, cant believe theres gonna be a 'family outing' at Chung Cheng for the bazaar. I bought $30 worth of coupons from my cousin... Plus those from xin's sister, I think we've alot. Haha. And the supposed Bazaar website sucks. Sucha disgrace lol. And no parking in the sch premises? I foresee a huge traffic problem man.. But of course I am gonna go back. And see my beloved ex teachers..
It ain't over till its over?
Too little too lateJust came back from Parent's Day at SYFC, which was meant to be held a month ago. At least I survived till today, all thanks to La Nina. So yeah, my Dad had a joyride while my mum didnt cos she was scaredy. He flew with Dewitt, whos the champion I tell you. So they toured around the place and had dialogues with the GM and all the usual stuffs parents do. While I was busy hanging around with 157 ppl since it has been long since we all gathered.
What sucks is after that on the way home, my parents were talking abt my future career in the RSAF or flying or whatever, and I couldnt listen to anything. I didnt know how to tell them that when I touch down on Tuesday afternoon and request taxi back Yankee, I'll be gone. What upsets me most is not being able to see the people anymore. Especially my sister, cherie, enson, sokfan, lekning. I know I can see them in sch but its just different. And of course DEWITT, or as Yunhui calls him, our Daddy. He has taught me more stuff than any teacher could ever. All his policies, priciples, theories and bullshit. Hahaha.
SIR! If you ever go google blogsearch and come here again, I tell you, you're the hippest and coolest instructor ever!
Isnt this the best time to start going on and on about how I should have worked harder previously? Lol nah, shan't wallow in self pity.... At least I've delivered the committment I promised during the interview. I am desperate to get into Phase 2 but I guess that doesnt compensate for the skills required to. No more hanging out at the club and Simulator room every single day, no more taking the syfc van, no more spending time in the OPs room trying to suck up to the aunties and no more of that vile woman from recruitment.
So depressing isnt it. I have been having sleepless nights. Last night couldnt sleep so I got up and read my FRC and study guide till 5am? Realised many things that I should have long ago.
Shall go lighten up abit. By watching my beloved football. Decided that the Man U Derby match would be a extremely foregone conclusion. So I'm gonna watch and pray that Reading beats Liverpool.
*edits*
