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.
