What an interesting day! My China relatives came today. Went to pick them up at the initially told Hotel 81 Tristar, but they were nowhere in sight. They called me and said that they're at Hotel 81 Geylang instead. It's a "nightmare" going there, LOL!

The first sight I saw was the countless number of "chickens" (prostitutes) standing by the street. While entering the hotel to go to their room, I even got touted. =.= Fortunately, my willpower was strong enough so as not to let them solicit me. It's the first time in my 18 years of live seeing all these. An interesting phenomenon I can say.

Well, sat on a pickup back home. It totally felt like Zhong Lao Shi's pickup in Huay Zhong Bo! Makes me miss there again.. :( Haha, plus the third 有难同当, get it? :p Fortunately it didn't rain. I got an angbao of $100 from them! My total angbao money now: $410. Hit my record again, yay!! I also got a Cathay Pacific Boeing 747-400 (1:400) model today. I was too clumsy and while poking the stand into the plane I broke a landing gear!! AHHH!!! I should be more careful in the future. :(

Hopefully I can fly over to Guangzhou to visit my relatives again! It's so fun!

Steps - 5, 6, 7, 8





I have no idea why I like this song so much! Well, my aerobics class last semester used this song as a dance to replace the usual stretching workout. I LOVED the dance to the max, don't know why, lol!

comeback of bt

It's yet another long day. Hey, don't blame me for not updating in time, as it's past 12am when I reached home!

Went to the gym after school today with KC and Erwin. Nice workout, I just love the school gym! Saw my aerobics instructor, she still recognises me! Haha, I'm surprised.

Travelled down to KAP mac to meet Pris and her friend Xiaohui. Chee Kit was there too but he went off after a while. We went back to Mustafa! Finally bought the weights today. The surroundings near Mustafa was sort of similar to that in Chiang Mai and I was being reminded of the daily BT we'd have in the hotel room after a long day of shopping, haha.

KC and myself carried the weights while Pris and Erwin carried our bags. Surprisingly, we walked much faster than them. Our weights weigh 12kg, LOL! We were walking so fast that a random "Tian Mi Mi" was being sang in the middle of the road. I was actually discussing if we should include this as another 有难同当, but it's too fun to be considered one actually. :p However, we made it a point that we would "survive" until Bugis Junction.

Watched "The Wedding Game". Well, quite hilarious, but Pris said "Love Matters" would be even more hilarious! Looking forward to watch that, I guess? Very lethargic from a whole day of running around and I have to do that again tomorrow as I'll be going to Hotel 81 Tristar to pick up my China relatives. Hope I can have a good rest on Sunday.

Surprisingly, I scored 31.5/50 for my latest Astats test which I thought I'd flunk it.

Thursday, January 29, 2009

The dream was so real. Even the feeling is beyond imagination in real.

I'm in a hyper mood today for some reasons.. HAHA! Had ComT and IAC presentation today. Was said to be a breeze! Went to Mustafa with KC, Erwin and Pris after school. When nearing the place, I almost couldn't recognise that it's Singapore.. Looks so different.

Saw the weights but we decided not to buy as we wanted to look for cheaper ones. Therefore, we decided to go back again tomorrow. Went to Bugis and slacked outside the theatre. Pris knew my achillies' heel and played with it, same goes for KC. However we were sitting on those benches whereby there isn't a handle at the side, so you can fall of any time. KC attacked my weak point and my natural reflexes gave him a push and he fell to the floor. I was shocked at first, but he was laughing dam loudly when he made his "ILS landing"? He's got a screw loose today! There was a second time and he also laughed like hell. Does someone has the number of Woodbridge Hospital?

Speaking of ILS landing, I explained a whole lot to him today, which made me have my revision too. Despite playing flight sim so many times, I didn't know there are so many procedures to an ILS landing. Probably I'm already used to it? I find my mood really good when explaining those stuffs. Maybe, I'm really cut out to be a pilot? =D

Wednesday, January 28, 2009

Been a long day again. Nothing much happened yesterday, just at home playing some flight sim. However, I made my own benchmark; I flew from Sydney to Singapore and landed nicely! Woots! My biggest achievement so far. :p

School starts again today. HK and Reb got angbao from a lecturer and treated us to lunch. Woots, free lunch. Thanks ah! IFF next. Only like 1/3 of the class was present and therefore no lecture was conducted. Did tutorial and went off. Nat and Reb wanted to interview me for IAC. Haha, it was darn funny!!



If you noticed, I said an extra "the" in the sentence.

Original sentence: No, because I think the earlier the person quit the better it is.
Blooped sentence: No, because I think the earlier the person THE quit the better it is.

Left us laughing up till now since afternoon, LOL!

Stayed back with KC and Erwin to study. Did Astats. Sometimes it can be a killer man! Roar! I'm so gonna get that A for it. Had dinner at BTFC, lots of stalls weren't open and therefore just had a simple meal.

Year of the Cow, Tentative "Income" of Angbao: $278 (more to come!)

Father gave me $100 angbao
Mother gave me $60

Went to the first relative's house and reached at 4pm, our latest arrival time all these years. Ate her famous curry chicken and had a chat. Well, not much to say actually. Got 3 angbaos here, total income $50.

Second next. Hougang area. I usually stay very quiet when visiting them. For some reasons, I was darn chatty today. However, I did not talk to my cousins, I talked to the elders instead. Probably I'm more to the "aunty" side when it comes to talking and gossiping, LOL! Got 6 angbaos here, income is $58. Quite little leh.. >.<

China relatives coming over on Saturday. It's been so long since I met them!! Like, 10 years ago? Since they are gonna take Cathay Pacific, I asked them to help me buy an aeroplane model, LOL! Wonder how it gonna look like.. Hopefully it's an A330 or A340-600!

Happy New Year! 新年快乐!



It's time for angbaos!! Money money money~~

Anyway, had the annual Reunion Dinner just now. As usual, had steamboat. But something unusual, an additional member. :) Something must have got over me today, I drank lots of wine! Ah well.. I was the main chef for the day. Therefore, preparing and cooking the food was my duty! I had a fun time with the chopper. Chopping the meat, sotong, abalone.. And lots more! It rocks to be the main chef! 2 cans of abalone this year, the amount has doubled!

Hope everyone get lots of angbaos and happy 牛 year!




新春即将来临 祝你在新的一年里 财运亨通 心想事成 马到功成 大吉大利

也希望你做什么事都一帆风顺 双喜临门 三阳开泰

Jakarta to Batam
Batam to KL
Medan to Singapore

I completed these 3 flights using a Garuda Indonesia Boeing 737-800 today. Results were quite okay too. Gonna get that C1 rank soon, I hope? :)




Not forgetting, the annual shipment of CNY snacks has arrived! Love letters, bak kwa, biscuits, cashew nuts, "heh bee hiang" and lots more! Next I shall wait for the annual "shipment" of angbaos, hopefully in a Airbus A380-800F!

终于

The name sounds very abstract to you? Well, let me summarise.

I finally managed to reach home before the sun sets.
I finally bought all the stuffs I need for CNY.
I finally had a nice haircut.
I finally get to rest.
I finally get to play flight sim.
I finally get to sleep late.
I finally get to go to the gym.
I finally get my formal wear.
I finally did something I wanted to do for the past week, but had no time.
I finally realized some stuffs.
I finally got it settled.

Is that a lot of "finallies"? Yeh.. Lol.

Anyway, had Astats test today which I screwed up. Bahh, I'll be happy if I can get like a 65 or 70. That might be the lowest I expect from my Astats in my entire life. Had lunch at Pines. Finally, I ate my Ayam Penyet! Also, went to Makan Place and had dessert with KC and CK they all.

Emo-ed myself in the library until Erwin joined me at 2 plus. So what was I doing? Being very kind, I helped CK do his FCS. Funny eh? I'm not even taking the module, how can I even help him do his work? Don't tell you. :p Anyway, went to JP with KC and Erwin to buy some shirts. Bought this formal wear at G2000, Erwin bought another one and we shared the price since there's a discount. :D Dinner at Mos Burger and I finally reached home.

So what am I gonna do for the next few days? Busy preparing for CNY and on Sunday it'll be the Reunion Dinner! For me it's special this year as NY will be joining my family for dinner, hahas! My China relatives are coming over on 31st Jan so I'll be completely booked for the second half of the day. I'll have to work as a tour guide, I guess? :p

I FUCKED UP MY ASTATS ---> There goes my top position.

red cliff

Back from movie - Red Cliff 2. I had some muscle training on bus 171 today, LOL! The stress it places on my hand while making sharp turns is.. large? :p Fortunately I'm strong enough to support my own weight.

Now on to the movie. The movie was great, with lots of graphical effects (except that they still use the ribena-like substance to for blood) and explosions. Well, a funny thing is that there was a technical problem halfway. CK was there saying about "service recovery", lol! Had dinner at Burger King next. Well, I guess I got psychoed by this fast food outlet. I just LOVE their burgers! Ate 2 burgers at a go. Ouch. Trained home with KC as usual and had tons of talk again. Oh wells, tomorrow and Friday is gonna be long again.

Thursday - Haircut
Friday - Shopping

Timetable

9.06am - Reached school in a cab since I opted to sleep more. However, lessons today were just as I expected, very very very sian!

10.25am - Going to become a zombie with nothing to do at all.

1.29pm - Just arrived at IFF class with Edy and Erwin. Had lunch at Mac. The feeling is really much better. :)

5.11pm - As expected, there was 0 communication. Slacked in the library and now waiting for Erwin, Edy, KC and CK to go to Cineleisure to watch Red Cliff 2. Lonely times again~ They wanted me to go in with them, I didn't want to as I'd feel very awkward, LOL!

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

I can't think of a word to describe my mood today. Angry? Worried? Sad? Pissed? Attitude? Troubled? It's like a war is starting. If it really continues, I'll fight till the end, since I am VERY sure I did nothing wrong. I'll find a temporary shelter tomorrow - at least. Or I'll rather emo myself in the library for an hour.

Had a special lunch today. Since we had a 3 hour break, I went with Pam to Sakae Sushi at JP. That means having to take 154 ALL THE WAY from NP to JP and take it back again. Argh, I'm doing it everyday and doing it DOUBLE today.. Lol. I felt like a pregnant man after the meal. Haha, it's dam full ok! Went back to school for Astats which made me feel like a zombie. I wasn't really listening to what was being taught in the class.

Diploma Plus briefing. I've decided not to continue to stay in the IFF cluster - it's a darn killer! Thinking of which cluster to 跳槽. Probably I'll be jumping to the Quality Management sector? As for elective, probably Hospitality Management. None of the others really appeal to me. I wanted to get the Applied Engineering Mechanics but there's like.. None? :S

Stayed back to study again. This time, we really studied! Sometimes I just need to get my Astats right.. Doh.. Went for dinner at BTFC. Sad thing is, the Soya Bean stall is closed. Ouch, that's my favourite!




Thanks for the listening ear once again! I appreciate the help a lot. :)

I have a long equation to equate to Monday Blues. It's embedded in my mind and I shall not post it here. Lunch was at Pizza Hut. BF lesson was relaxing. Only required to do 1 question of tutorial and almost the whole class proceeded to play Facebook. Created a 1L02 group, lol. QLA lecture was interesting with the lecturer making us laugh and laugh throughout the lesson. Haha, I've always loved QLA lectures.

Met up with KC and ZR to interview ZR on my IAC. LOL, I still can't forget the bloopers we had. On the second question he NG-ed on the last second and it made me laughing uncontrollably for like.. xx times in a row? I didn't manage to count it, but the duration was at least 15 minutes. I really have a hard time controlling my laughter. >.<

Went to JP next. I wonder what has come over me today actually. Bought a pair of sneakers at Converse and proceeded on to 77th street where I had my mega shopping spree. Bought a pair of pants (which I'm not sure what to call it as), belt and chain. Don't really have the courage to wear the chain out, but I'll try it on CNY, haha! Might not be going to Camppiak due to the decision to work. Money is always more valuable than CCA points, yah? :p

Busy schedule for this week! (if everything goes on well...)

Monday - Shopping
Tuesday - Study
Wednesday - Movie
Thursday - Haircut
Friday - Shopping
Saturday - Kaiser Day Camp
Sunday - Chinese New Year's eve!
Monday & Tuesday - Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai! 红包拿来!




I just discovered that my skills with the flute is still there. Also, my heart... =D

Fish Maw - My personal favourite!

Got quite pissed off by Flight Sim today. Why? I managed to fly from Singapore Changi Airport to Tokyo Narita International Airport. With time acceleration, it also took me 3 hours. When I landed and got ready to taxi to the gate, flight sim stopped working!! Argh! I shall try it again next time. I will make a SIN-NRT-SFO flight. That's equivalent to SQ002 outbound.

Lessons start at 9am tomorrow - What a lesson to start off with. Those who knows what is my first lesson of the day would know it. It's a lesson that I'm wanting it to end. The sooner it ends, the better it is. Alright, I shall stop here, lest I start complaining a whole essay about it again. Once again, I have NO respect for someone.

I just hate being sick!




I found this website about friendship quotes and this was the most meaningful quote I found:

The only unsinkable ship is FRIENDSHIP


Do you agree with me too? :)

Run baby Run!

Went for the Safari Zoo Expo today. Woke up early at 7am today and went out to meet KC, CK and ZR. Everything got settled and reached Novena at about 8.53am and waited to start our duties. I did a variety of duties today. Slacking, counter, runner, filing documents and searching for bib numbers.

The time before lunch was VERY slack! CK and myself were there chatting a whole load with only 5% of the time doing work. During the peak hours, we went to file the documents so we did not really know what happened.. KFC for lunch. Sinful is sinful.. but.. =X I was so mesmerized by the performance of the Chinese Orchestra. Should I go back? xD I suddenly miss CO and wish to blow the flute very nicely!

Went back and settled for some packing. To my surprise, time passes by so quickly and soon it was 4pm. Did some runner job which I got addicted to it and did a bit of counter job. Well, almost every job is fun, except for the part of filing documents. Next up would be the actual race, coming up on 7th February at the Zoo.




I've learnt to let go and get on. Hope it will continue.

cleared to land

I've reached another new level of flight simulation! I've finally found out how planes are practically able to fly and land by themselves. It's easy!

When approaching the runway and about 15 miles from the airport, hit the nav switch, but make sure you switch the nav/gps switch to nav and tune the nav1 radio to the ILS frequency of the runway. When established on the localizer, hit the approach switch and the plane will place itself on the correct glide slope. When the plane is 100 feet above the runway, disengage the autopilot and let the plane to continue descending until about 30-40 ft above the runway, reduce throttles to idle and get ready to get into the FLARE position. It's VERY important that the main wheels touch down first!

Haha, I guess most of you would have question marks on your head while reading the paragraph above. I dedicated the whole of my day to flight simulator today to actually master the techniques of virtual flying. I've finally did it! :) AND Airlines rock on!




Only when you are in trouble, you feel the real importance of friendship around.

I finally finished watching The Little Nyonya! Got particularly sensitive to a word: adoption. =/ Well, but overall it's a nice show! The ending got me emo for a minute.. Lol.

Com Toolkit 2 minute speech: 12.5/15
Grade: A

Woots, I finally attained that A! However, still not very satisfied with it.. Was wanting a 13 and above.. Haiz, never mind bah, I'll work hard during the group presentation. Well, I'm beginning to like ComT. Sounds weird? Heh.. Probably I've got the best ComT lecturer around. :p

IAC was very boring, had to do this individual post on top of our group post. Argh.. Just hate these stuffs. Well, slacked around in Makan Place till 5pm and went on to JP. Had a walk with KC, Erwin and Pris. Your dream has come true eh, Erwin? :p

Gonna buy a new pair of Converse shoes in preparation of the New Year. Ah ha!

Wednesday, January 14, 2009

Mixed feelings

Thanks for lending me the listening ear while on the bus today! I feel much better now. (you know who you are :p) Yeh, I was complaining non-stop about some (censored) people that really spoilt my day. The person who listened to my complain must have his/her ears suffer a lot. LOL!

Anyway, went to Soul of Entertainment today, to support Edy and Nian Yue. They performed very well! However, both of them only managed to get the consolation prize. Well, it's ok, work harder next time! Edy sang "Ai Wo bie Zou" by Zhang Zhen Yue. Due to his accent, his singing was quite unique, but nice! The Emcees were quite humourous too.. Haha! Nian Yue! You did very well also! Although you did not win, I've crowned you as a champion! I really loved your dance!
I'm freaking pissed off by someone (erm, an old man) who takes EVERY MINUTE into account. Since you're so free, why not count how many minutes you have left in your life? CONSTANT NAGGING isn't going to make people respect nor LISTEN to you. No, I do NOT have respect for you DESPITE your seniority. I might sound very bad, but you DO NOT DESERVE it.

Yet another long day out.. Well as I said, the first 3 days of the week is gonna be hectic for me. :) Managed to reach school at 9.30am today despite waking up late. Went to print notes with pam which made us late for BF, lols. The 5 of us all wore black today, to my surprise.. Haha!

Had lunch at a long lost place - Pines Cafe. Seafood Mee Goreng, and I hope to taste the Ayam Penyet tomorrow! EIS lesson. Duh! Dam boring with the test which I got 66/100. Miracle for me can! Thanks pam for the help! You know what I'm referring to... :) Astats? Hmm, just as per normal? :p

After school activities again. Room booked from 5pm-9pm today. Seems like room Peridot is the usual hangout place for KC, CK, Erwin and me. Went to the pullup corner twice with KC today. First time I did not even go up for some reasons. For the second time, I went up and held myself up there for 15 seconds after he did a failed "crosswind landing" on the bar. 15 seconds can be said as my longest timing? Lol! I'll do 5 pullups by next year.. I hope.. :D

Dinner at 5 star chicken rice, my 2nd visit for the week. Getting broke, only left 4 bucks!


YM (my name) the dustbin. Thanks to the "artist" Pamela!

Played "Deal or No Deal" during EIS today and got the following results:


First try!


Second try!

Mr. Blur King

What a blur day today. I was supposed to take 174 from JP to meet Pam, Nat and Lin at 5 Star Chicken Rice but blur little me took 154 instead. =.= Took it for 2 stops and switched to 187, and 157. Waiting time is darn long can..

Nat! Is your toothpaste shampoo nice? :p Alright, I shall not elaborate more lest I laugh out loud, LOL! BF tutorial was as boring, although I learnt some new stuffs. As for QLA, still as interesting with the lecturer making occasional laughters in the class.

After school, went to "study" with KC, CK and Erwin. As you can see, the word "study" is in inverted commas, so we did not study at all! LOL! Went to BTFC again.. Ah, I just love the fish soup there, but it was out of stock.. I shall try it again tomorrow!

It's gonna be a busy week ahead for me. Monday and Tuesday study, Wednesday going to Soul of Entertainment. Fortunately, I'll be free on Thursday and Friday. However, Saturday's gonna be a busy day again~

Sunday, January 11, 2009

Things just get cranky sometimes.. Probably thats why? Hmm.. It's not really good for things like this to happen, but it's inevitable sometimes. Well, hope it gets resolved, or even I will back out and 跳槽. Hope things would get simpler sometimes. :) Ah well..

Had a darn fun time on air today with my new mic. The sound is darn clear! Hehe, I'm loving my new headpiece. :D Back to my favourite flight sim. Managed to do a Kai Tak IGS approach (without the lights!) today. I feel so... Happy? Satisfied? Haha. However, I can't even do a simple ILS landing, but yet I can handle Kai Tak so easily.. What the hell is happening to me?

6 more months

Officially 6 months to my birthday! The day when I reach 18 years old~~ And I love Airplane Models! *hints*

PLUS!!

4 months ago, a boy named Daniel Tay fainted in Huay Zhongbo, Chiangmai.

Saturday, January 10, 2009

Yet another fun day out! First things first. Went gym again this morning. I'm glad they changed the cushions on the Pec Fly/Rear Delt machine as it was so torn out. Another thing is, I'm glad that they changed the position of the machine such that it's facing the swimming pool now. No one to look at you when you do your workout on that machine - and that made me stay a total of 20 minutes of that machine today. I worked even harder today. Another great thing is, I worked out my hamstrings, triceps, quadriceps, biceps, teres major, deltoids and many more muscles. Ah, my tummy is getting a little bigger again. Time to make it smaller!

Slacked at home and got psychoed by Erwin to visit NP with CK and Pris. It's still so crowded today at the open house. Oh, CK had a haircut lol. Looks a bit funny to me.. But ya.. :p Ate at Makan Place after visiting the convention centre and slacked a little before walking to block 50, where we sat down by the road to have a drink. Reminds me of the times in Chiang Mai, eh?

Went to block 47 next and guess what I saw? Our Chiang Mai YEP poster is up! One of the photos I taken was used, great! :D Had fun looking around the other new posters around and saw the book prize too, haha! While we were at block 18, I remembered something; The swing at Kismis field! (which as mistaken as "kiss me" field by some blur little girl.. you know who? :p) We rested at the field for quite a while as there were people at the swing. It was a rest worth it. The grass is so comfortable.. Had dinner at BTFC and went on to West Mall to purchase my headset. Ouch, another 26.90 gone. :( I'm so poor now.. Waiting for rental at the end of the month, I guess.. LOL.

Now, it's photo time!



Saw this balloon floating around the block 56 carpark.. It was at a higher altitude before it made an ILS landing into this carpark. :p


Wee~ I love the swing~ And amazingly it could "tahan" my weight! Miss childhood. :(


Another picture on the swing.. :D

Friday, January 9, 2009

Last minute of the day! Lol. Seems like I like posting 2 posts in a day now. Why is that so? I don't know myself too.

IFF Retest went on as usual, should be able to pass this time.. I hope? Slacked in the lib with KC, CK, nic and Erwin after the test and we tried to play Pyramid Escape. It's funny man! Why funny? Ad hoc, Lancraft, NPNet all did not work for us. Even if we could go into each other's games, we got kicked out automatically in less than 2 mins. Recalling what happened, it's still funny. :D

Dinner at BTFC. Had Mutton Soup, Soya Beancurd and Soya Bean Milk. Darn full after it. Funny thing again. I kept having "momentums" after someone complains that his "momentum" is coming. Luckily, it did not go till the maximum point and I was able to hold it till I reach home.

Now I've fallen in love with my handphone songs. Even if it's a little walk from PM back, I'd take the effort to connect my earpiece and listen to some songs. Probably I just LOVE the songs inside it? :p
IFF Retest~ Argh..

Up till now, it's been a funny day.. Lol. NY didn't want to follow KC and me to school today as he said we're slow.. But when I went out today he's still sleeping...? LOL! Who's the slower one.. =X Funny thing is, both KC and me overslept and meeting time was postponed to 7.45am and I received the sms when I JUST opened my eyes.

Alright, now for school. :D Astats went on as usual but with some laughter as I became a bit of blur. Nat!!! I haven't 算账 with you! Knock calculator on my head.. Now I don't remember my name le.. The 4 flowers were laughing like siao when the calculator hit my head.. =.= Saw fran during lunch today.. Had quite a nice chat lol..

QLA lesson was funny. I was playing some songs on my laptop and I played this Hokkien song named 一支小雨伞, Pam almost killed me! She snatched my laptop over and quickly pressed the stop button on my player. Made me laugh like hell because of her actions.. She's sooo the anti Hokkien songs man! The rest of the lesson left both of us there 自high-ing with me trying to poke her. Blehs, did not succeed. >.< Now in lib with lin, nat and nic "studying", when I'm actually blogging.. :D

Anyway, happy birthday lin!

Thursday, January 8, 2009

After school: Went around open house.
After open house: Slacked at Makan Place
After Makan Place: Treatment

haha, had a darn interesting trip from school back to JP today. Erwin, CK, KC and myself were at Makan Place when we decided to go off. As usual, KC and myself went to the opposite bus stop to take the bus. However, it was so crowded due to the secondary school students coming to the open house. After 15 minutes of waiting, we decided to cross the bridge and go over to the NP bus stop to take a bus to BTFC and switch to 174. Saw CK still at the bus stop, lol. After some minutes of waiting, we got impatient and decided to walk to BTFC instead. Upon reaching, a 61 arrived, we boarded it. Alighted at 1 stop before Bukit Batok Interchange and took 178 since it came. Finally, reached JP at 7.30pm.

Treatment was planned at 7pm, but ahh... I was late! LOL. First treatment in JP and I'm late. >.< Ah, no choice. Treatment was as painful as ever. Fortunately, I was able to bear with the pain. After the treatment, I noticed I became CK. LOL, find it funny? My hair became so CURLY. Fringe, sideburn, back.. All became curly curly~~~ LOL. Just seeing the curly hair reminds me of him. Alrighty, IFF retest tomorrow, good luck to me. :D
Communication Toolkit 2 minute speech tentative score: 11.5/15

Guess what topic I chose? I chose that my role is the Principal of an Aviation School, Audiences as Polytechnic Students while my purpose is to Pursuade them to join the piloting course provided by the school. Well, I'm not really satisfied with the score as I only got a B. Have to score 12 to get an A! >.< Problems in my speech is the speed. Just the speed. As long as I slow down by a bit, A is mine! :D Got another try next week, I'll ensure that I make full use of it. :D

IAC is starting to get boring, but good thing is there's only 4 weeks left... Hope it passes by fast, lol. One very interesting thing that happened in class today; Our topic was on the Youth Expedition Project and I mentioned that I have taken part in one myself. The teacher was so impressed and said,"We have an angel here! Applause for him!" Lol, that made me so paiseh.

Appointment at NYSS at 6.30pm today. Gonna slack in school with Erwin and CK till 5pm before going to JP. Finally, a nearer place to my house lol. Bought a joystick for flight sim yesterday and I love it! Makes me feel like an Airbus pilot.. Why Airbus? Airbus uses single yoke stick for their planes while Boeing uses double yoke. Ah, I shall take some time to get used to it. :D

Got back BF and Astats common test today. Suffered 2 blows in a day. BF: 61/100. Well, more than happy for that score since I expected a fail... :D Astats: 89/100 (estimated score since there was errors in marking) I got 87/100 on the paper itself. Ah, I didn't do my best on this. I know I have the potential to get >90 for Astats. Stayed back and studied IFF - Well, studied only for a bit, lol. It's a long day today and I'm surprised how fast time can pass for me when school starts..

Another word of thanks.. Thanks for those who have been giving me the support to be a pilot! I'm sure with your support, I will be able to step onto the piloting road with a very positive mood! :)




Not forgetting to mention that Nian Yue is back from China! He brought home lots of good stuffs! Peking duck, biscuits, cakes and even a cute little moo moo for new year! :D Thanks NY!



Ouch, only 87 :( (estimated to be 89 after errors are corrected)


Roast Peking Duck! Although not fresh from the oven, I appreciate it a lot! Would make a good dinner. :D


Cute little Moo Moo (I just named it, lol) which actually resembles a pig more than a vow.. Haha, but a good and early way to usher in the Chinese New Year!

Suddenly I'm speechless.. Yeah, 1st day of school? Nothing much.. Just saw this headset in Popular and this Joystick in Cyberactive. Might be going over to buy them on Wed. Hey, the headset would be a darn good buddy when I'm dj-ing man! Haha. Anyway, after 2 weeks of hard work I finally got into soup, lol. Now is the time to work for my Airline Talkshow. Remember to support kaes. :p

Woots! What I got from the Singapore Airlines website is really a major plus! They offer training for Diploma holders who has a great interest in aviation. That's me, ain't it? Board and lodging provided man! That's my future.. In SIA.. I foresee! No more worries about $120,000 cause the training is free and I even get paid while training!
Private Pilot License
Approx $20,000

Commercial Pilot License
Approx $100,000

Air Transport Pilot License
Approx $3,000

How am I gonna find money for all these?! Study loan is the only thing that can help me I guess.. My direction is fixed once I apply..
Pilot.. Singapore Airlines.. Here I come!




The Piper Warrior is really as exquisite as it's name. I can already imagine myself as a PPL student, sitting in the cockpit and piloting the aircraft. It'll be a long journey.. From what I read on the MFA website, cadet pilots and required to STAY IN.. Get the word? STAY IN! The place is somewhere in Malacca.. 3 months of training for PPL, 18 months for CPL and 1.5 months for ATPL.. That's a total of 22.5 months! If I were to leave Singapore for so long, I can't imagine what would happen man.. I'll certainly miss everything here. Not 2 weeks this time.. It's about.. 2 years!. It's hard for me to imagine leaving Singapore for 2 years... If that's really the case I'd reconsider the course.. But however.. It's my dream.. Since childhood... Should I go for it?

Yet another day of the holidays is gone.. Went to school with KC, CK, Nic and gang with the intention to study IFF for me, nic and Erwin. However, we didn't even manage to study anything.. LOL! Erwin was late for like.. 5 hours? =X

After "studying", went to BTFC to have dinner with KC, CK and Erwin before proceeding to meet Ckit and Pris at West Mall. Had a 2nd dinner there. OMG! Sinful! Exercise Daniel! Exercise! Stop that damn eating man!

Seems like I'm still unstable in handling planes. I didn't know it was a NAVIGATION lights problem until I CRASHED the airplane on the runway.. Wtf.. If I knew it I'd have landed the aircraft nicely lah! Ah, I've decided to take out a study loan for my pilot course. Wonder what will my parents think? :p

Latest News

My father agreed to let me take out the study loan! Woots! Now I can be a pilot! LOL!

5 of us: Joel, Erwin, Pris, Me and Chee Kit squeezing on my bed! Haha, everyone was so desperate to sleep. Surprisingly, I managed to sleep for an hour+! Now I love enjoying the whole bed to myself after squeezing.. I'll cherish every minute with my bed lest I need to share it for a time like this again, LOL! It's the best when you're on the bed alone.. Every inch of space is yours!




The 2nd day of 2009! Been going on well for me, haha. Alright, I shall say about what happened when I was taunting with Erwin, Chee Kit, Priscilla, Joel, Daniel and Elaine. I shall summarise everything shortly cause I'm too lazy to blog everything out, LOL!

We settled down at about 10pm and peeps went on to their computers. Chee Kit was using my laptop, Elaine using my desktop, Daniel assembling his Gundam, Joel playing his PSP while Erwin and Pris are using their own laptops. Ah, and 11.59pm came! Everyone except Daniel went to the living room to countdown. Once the countdown was over, I looked over to Pris's laptop (she was just beside me) and said, "Your laptop lag lah! Still at 11.59pm!" That's how my first sentence of 2009 went.. T.T Pris indirectly "snatched" it away, LOL!

For the rest of the "day", we were just slacking around with those people whom I mentioned going back to do their own stuffs, except for Chee Kit who fell asleep on my bed STRAIGHT after the countdown! Congrats on being the first person to fall asleep on my bed in 2009.. Lol. :p Therefore, I took my laptop and joined Erwin and Pris in the living room. Pris is random at times.. I was in my bedroom using laptop for a while before going to the living room and she just keeps coming in and shout "GOOD MORNING!".. LOL. Maybe she bored until nothing to do.. About 5am, Erwin and myself decided to watch an episode of Air Crash Investigations after I ate my first meal of 2009: Curry Chicken Flavoured Maggie Mee.. ^^ LOL. Another "unique" way to start the year.

Everything went on as normal till 10am when we watched a bit of Doraemon and Pris and her gang of friends decided to go off. Bade goodbye to them and Erwin stayed back to rest for a while. Went for lunch at Koufu. First visit in 2009. :D Had Mixed Veggie Rice.. Still as expensive.. =.= Guess what happened next? I KO-ed all the way from 2pm till 10.26pm when my mum woke me up. I didn't know I slept for so long man...

Fell asleep at about 2am after eating dinner. I had a darn strange dream.. Almost everyone I know currently appeared in my dream, and it's really a very strange feeling with very strange events happening. I'm actually wondering if it's real or a dream at times as some scenes happens in my room when the light is off.. Ahh! What's happening to me? Fortunately, I did not see my late grandparents in my room or it'd be a forever farewell... :( Ah, I know none of y0u wish for it to happen don't you? Or some of you are secretly wishing it will? Blehs, whatever happens, I'll just live life to the fullest from now onwards! Who knows, I might just drop dead one day? :S

2008, came and went. It's the most enriching year of my 17 years of life on Earth. I experienced a lot of new things this year, such as going to work, participating in voluntary work and large social gatherings. I have made a lot of new friends and getting closer to existing friends. I started my poly life.. A totally different kind of education.

The year 2008 is a wonderful blend of beautiful memories that aren't meant to be forgotten. Although 2008 is gone for good, the memories will still stay in my mind for life. It's sad to see a year gone again. I'm still in a mind of 2008. Well, it's time to move on.. :) It's year 2009 now. Although I know most of you are like me, still unable to accept the sudden change although we have been going through it so many times.. Haha. Sometimes it's just like a dream and you just woken up from it.

I welcomed the year 2009 with lots of wonderful friends.. It's actually amazing how friendships are formed! It goes through a whole series of "supply chain" to know people. Actually, it's very fun to know how different people behave. Some can be quite interesting too! With that, I shall with everyone a very happy 2009! :D

Happy New Year! May 2009 be a better year for everyone!



Countdown for new year was with Erwin, Priscilla, Chee Kit, Daniel no. 2, Elaine (Daniel's Sis) and Joel. Went to Marina Square as Erwin wanted to shop for clothes, haha! Anyway, we went straight to the flight simulator again after Erwin bought his cardigans. Same pilot, same receptionist, haha! The recognised me lah.. :p Well, since I've just flown less than 48 hours ago, the pre-flight check was done within 2 minutes and off we go!

Flew from Macau to the new Hong Kong Airport for a touch and go (I was perfectly in line with the centre line!) and off to the old Kai Tak Airport. It's one of the most challenging approaches in the world but I somehow managed to land it nicely. Haha! I shall let the photos do the talking from now onwards. :D
