Mr Chee, Shut-up
channelnewsasia.com article
Mr Chee, for your information, the Singaporean government and constitution, IS one of the most UNCORRUPTED in the world.
I remember when i was still in Secondary school, and there was the GE coming up, and there was this individual that was constantly being brought to court for slander. My curiosity was even more aroused as i found out that this loud spoken, slandering politician was, sadly to say, an ACSian.
Eventually, i found his party selling their shabby news paper at clementi MRT station, where i get home from school everyday. They were screaming "Singapore most expensive place to live in!", and some stuff that was too complicated for me to understand back then. I bought the newspaper anyway.
Even at my young age, i immediately found the information in the newspaper more appropriately classified as tabloid information.
I appreciate the fact that Singapore has their very own loud spoken politician, to keep the ruling party in check, however, a loud spoken politician should never start plucking something out of nothing, and start crying over it, hoping that the rest of Singapore will cry with him. Maybe if he didn't possess his horrible reputation, more of Singapore will believe him.
All i want to say is, Mr Chee Soon Juan, Shutup, as you've long lost your credibility since a long time ago.

Just the way i like it
After spending 1 mth in Tamworth, 6 mths in OCS, 1 year in Airforce school, 9 mths in Pearce, and 6 months in Moose Jaw, I finally found myself with wings on my chest, and here in Cold Lake.
1 week of intensive BFM sorties, twisting my head in an attempt to look back at the bandit, reversing on the bandit and finally firing the "missile" on that bandit, I feel myself building lots of neck muscles by twisting the neck in 5G enviroment, and at the same time, going to the gym for intensive runs on the treadmill after work, and finally finding myself back home in a total state of hypoxia.
Although tiring, its absolutely great to be here. After so much time spent on "unfighter" stuff, i'm finally here. Finally i can confidently say "there is nothing else i'll rather do".

Wings finally!
After some fucking bad luck, i am finally Canadian Wings standard! Gerald's test is today, after today, the 2 Singaporeans are the first 2 in the course to get wings standard!
Well, though the wings are kinda not recognised in Singapore (pay don't increase blah blah blah), i realised, it actually kinda feels good knowing i earned it.

Trip to Cold Lake Part 2
We were cheated by being sold a fucked up car, not even legal to be on the roads, so we went up to cold lake again to settle the insurance..
Just look at that! A half frozen lake! How much nicer can it get...
Until the temperature went up above 0 the nxt day. Wierd weather.
The 7 hours long drive (we clocked about 1300km on the ODO meter, on a rented car from National) was made quick with this!

Winter survival
We had our winter survival today. We stood in the cold for 1 hour.. that was all.. my hands were frozen.. but i've got to say the rest of my body is ok.. What i really wonder is "why are my hands cold when they are tucked into my pocket of my jacket?
Anyway, the only reason i felt confortable is cos i was wearing this terrorist mask.. haha i'll get the photo from the danes..
By the way, here in moose jaw, at this time of the year, i'm practically living in the climate of singapore.. Temperature ranges this morning was -25 to -33. hmmm doesn't it look like singaporean weather?

Just another day at work
So... what is the current Metar(Meteo Report aka weather report). Call the Meteo office? nope... Look out of this window.
Yeah the metar is just about right. Its snow covered.
Look at this. So what does it tell? It tell you the number of Hawks there are. It writes "1". Yes only one Hawk is servicable. Out of errr.. well... less than 10.
So who is the lucky one to take the ONLY hawk? No clue? Look at the row with my name (there are 2 of my names up there, look at the one which says "FIT" nxt to my name.
So did i fly? Nope. I had to call the A/C unservicable after starting up the A/C.
Yup just another day.

Singapore a Civilization?
OK for this post, I refer you to the official website of the world famous game, Civilization 4.
http://www.2kgames.com/civ4/
Look at the Main Flash Animation on the page you land on. Well, thats the picture u will find on the box and the manual of the game.
Anyway, so yes on the left we have the Egyptian buildings, and the Roman theatre, and the great light house blah blah. Look further infront. Does the modern skyline look familiar?
No? Don't you see the UOB building? The May Bank building? The smaller UOB tower? No? Ok your blind.
The pic below might ring a bell?

Well, just thought its pretty interesting Singapore made it onto a game, though how insignificant it is.
So what is this game all about? Its a game that has captured me since the times of 386 computers. Don't remember wat is that? Nvm. And in a nut shell, you build one of the world's oldest civilization up from nothing, thru the "stone age" up till the "future". Interested in more? Visit the website.

Most F***ed Up shipping company
The most F**ked Up shipping company in the entire world.
http://www.purolator.com/
http://www.purolator.com/
What? What? I don't understand?
Canadians, Hungarians, Danish, English, Italians and Singporeans, perfect ingredients for communication problems!
Here is an example.
Yup just one of the many misunderstandings we have here.
Here is an example.
I ran into my coursemate, Josh in the gym, and half hour into my gym, he tells me "Hey Pe Hon, I'm going for supper now see you!"
I Just stared at him trying to process what he just said. He stood there puzzled at why I'm showing him that expression.
Than it came to me. "OH! Dinner! Ok see you Josh!"
Yup just one of the many misunderstandings we have here.

The day i almost died
I know some of you out there are thinking "Damn! Why didn't he die?", just like what Gerald said. Cos he wanted my IPod Nano. Well, all i've got to say is, toooo bad.
(and oh did I say i had a Nano?)
Well, today I flew to 2 international Airports, not the Changi Airport volume, but airports where medium sized jets land, and take off. THey are Regina and Saskatoon.
And so I went to Regina and i took off and at 300 kts i saw something ahead of me, than at 350 kts, i was able to make out what the hell was it and instinctively i PUSHED my stick down and VROOOOM! a bunch of large geese flew just past my canopy. My instructor told me he was reading something on his kneeboard, and the next moment he was hanging by the straps and saw the geese in reach distance.
So birds so what? Well, birds are the most dangerous objects for a pilot. Imagine this. 350kts*1.8=630km/h=6.3*10^5 m/s. So when a bird hit, assume deceleration to zero at 0.5 seconds. So acceleration forces would be 1.26*10^6m/s-2. So the weight of a geese might be 5kg? so Using newton's law, F=ma, F= 5*1.26*10^6= 6.3*10^6 Newtons.
Well u get the idea. Thats alot of force.

What i've been up to!
Long lay off from blogging? Too busy? More like too much time. I was waiting for Gerald to upload some photos so i can put it in. Here is it!
Yes its been a long long time and i've finally went solo! Great feeling. I couldn't bring my big bulky Cannon G5 up to the flight, but I'll bring Gerald's cam up the nxt solo i go! Which happens to be tmrw!
And I've traveled to my first foreign airport away from home airfield in a commercial pilot fashion. More to go to! In fact we do flights to Big International Airports like Edmonton (???!??! its a big city by the way. Just google that!)
Anyway, been playing alot of golf. Play with the Danes, namely Jensen (pronounced as Yansen), Canadians namely Matty Maurice, Hungarians namely Viktor (victor) and Peter Horvath and the Singaporean instructors!
Winter is creeping in onto us. So no more golf from now on. Last weekend was the last golf week. =( So am i good? Nope my handicapp is probably 36-40, if there was even such a thing. So the next few photos are from our golf campaign!
The Hungarians and us!
My less than perfect golf swing
Deer valley. Amazing course. Canada's 3rd best hold (a par 3) was found here and i am glad to say I had a bogey! What, wasn't good enough?
And i was looking thru Gerald's photo collection and i found this photo below, taken during god knows when, probably at some drinking party. Anyway, there was a time when I was skinner, more tan! Oh nO! NOT that i'm fat now. But there was a time where i was fitter. Ok thats it. You're gonna see me on the threadmill everyday!
