Its been a long time since i blogged! and its been a longer time since i stepped on Changi airport! And now its time for a timeout!

When i came over to Perth, i told myself, the only way i'll go back singapore was thru my own ticket that i buy, and the other way was after 9 months as a new officer. At least half my goal has been accomplished!

Right now i'm packing, and wondering how am i gonna spend the nxt 16 hours left before i board the aircraft back to singapore. I'm so damn xcited i can't sit stillll!!!!!!!! haha

a timely timeout, i'm sure everyone of us are glad to go back! haha seeee u singapore!

its so hot, 40 degrees, that i have turned to zzzing with prickly heat, tested formula in hendon. heee

I have never seen so much money before!!?!?!?!?! thank u for the bonus!!!!!!!

Module 1 complete! Mod 2 under way!

just watched singapore idol, for good ness sake singapore, pls let taufik win singapore idol on 1st decmeber!!!!!!!!!

I just clicked away my pay for November.

There i was clicking around airline websites for tickets to go back to singapore in december.

And so i found myself at SIA website. AUS$1089.96.. hmmm quite cheap.. so i decided to go on with the bookin process. at the same time i was clicking around the qantas website and at the same time typing in all my information, and most importantly my debit card information.

And so i typed out all in formation on the www.sia.com.sg website, and decided to click on "confirm" thinkin that i'll get another "confirm" page with all the information i typed, to check for any typo. No the nxt page that came was "Ur booking has been confirmed" and there i read on "AUS$1089.96". I was stunned initially. I didn't expect to pay for it yet. but i'm not angry.. i'm jus shocked at how easy it was to burn money.

And so i logged into my dbs internet bankin site. practically the statement looks like the statement i saw 1 month ago, before my november pay came in. damn it. i clicked on the account number for a break down, and there it was, $1400++ was given to sia.

on the bright side, depart on 24 december, return on 2 jan! see u world!

Man down!! mediC!!!!!!!

Australia is like an OVEN!!!! issit cos of that big hole in the ozone near us?

Engine performance decreases at high temperature. And indeed, it did. Full power, and practically not moving at all. I mean, i was moving, but the take off run seemed to last 2 times longer than normal!

Anyway, temperature topped at 38 degrees, and the flys are out. Why can't flys jus extinct? they fly around my ears when ever i'm out of the cabins, and when i'm doing my left to right checks, the flys jus keep buzzing in my cockpit. Even after closing my canopy, they continue buzzing around me.

I don't know how am i gonna survive 3 mths with flys buzzing around me. I make extreme reflex movements to get the away from me, so much that i feel as if i'm gonna break my neck one day doing it. In fact i am feeling my neck feeling a little strained by all that jerking movements i made.

Back to the weather, (hot weather brings flies). I never stopped sweating after getting off the plane from my flight. At 1500 ft above ground doing circuits wasn't much cooler than ground level. The aircon wasn't strong enough (the place is old) and the only time i stopped sweating is now. In my cosy room with my fan at max and all widows and doors opened.. lolz.. anyway, nite to the world! solo again tmrw!

First solo, and i'm alive, didn't eject, didn't crash.

But i had the worst landing i ever did in my life! YFC, Airgrading, and all the dual flights here in pearce, i've never landed this way b4..

But its ok! I'll make perfect landings this monday c leong!

It betta fucking not rain tmrw.

I crashed and died.

I cleared my First Solo Check with flying colors. Landed, instructor told me to go solo later. happy to hell. But weather came in, and it rain and stop rain and stop in 15 mins intervals. fucking hell.

Slowly, i see the 2 hours validity of my solo check passing by. 4 hours went by, with me sitting there thinkin no more solo.

Than the commander called our detachment, askin about e weather, whether i could land on wet run way, whether 4 hours after my solo check instructor was confident of letting me go.

The call was to let me go. Yay! the plan was for the OC to fly to our airfield while i wait in my a/c and let me clear me to go solo after checking out the weather. And so i started up the ac, practically waited 10 mins for the news to come.

"Winds gusting up to 31 kts (45+km/h), solo flights are a no go!"

and so i acknowledged over rt "Wilco sir, will shut down now"

And so i shut down, feeling cheated, and thinkin i'll be planned tmrw again to fly solo. SO at least i was happier this way

Than jus now, the planning came out, where the fuck was my name?!?!?!?!?!?? My instructor's on leave tmrw!?!?!?!?!?!? i was so pissed i was jumping up and down in the planning room. Of cos no instructor was around. Why the hell must the weather and luck play this kinda trick on me?!??!

hellllllo world! first sooooloooo tmrw! weather today was horrible. Hope tmrw will be good!

I have nothing to blog about today. But i was told to blog.. so errr... ya la i'm here blogging.

Anyway, i'm still that fustrated trainee waiting for them to plan me for my solo check and solo flight. Wat am i waiting for? the planner himself told me to wait for my instructor, cleong to be upgraded from B2 to B1 (only b1 instructors can clear people for first solo). The paper works are thru already, but waitin for it to be processed. Inefficiency..

and so cpt furby was telling me to monitor myself, tell him if i'm not planned on wednesday to fly (currency in flying) and if by then cleong hasn't upgraded, i'll have to fly with the australians.. lolz. first time he joked. so quite funny. he's the kind of instrucctor that scolds sparingly non stop.. so yupz.. i'm "patiently" waitin for e day to come.

I wannnnna eat venezia.......................................................

Nooooooo solo tmrw.......................................................

No solo tmrw.............................................................

I can only drink this can of "Solo" in my room that i bought from the mess.
Its a can of Lemon Tang that is 5% crushed lemons, that can only be found here.

Well well, the aviator's soft drink.

No solo not cos i screwed up today. But the freaking Gin Gin Tower isn't gonna be manned. argh.. idiots.......


And i learnt how to cook today! after landing in gin gin, i was free, so i helped out tat the kitchen. chopped vege, clean them, and start frying curry vege, and fried ikan bilies.. haha damn nice.. yummy.. haha take queue number if u wan me to cook for u!! lolz

I fried Luncheon meat today!!!!!!!!!!!! my first food item that i cooked.

okok why did i cook today? basically, Gin Gin detachment. Cos Pearce is too crowded an airfield, so the betta place to conduct first Solos is in Gin Gin, a near by airfield, 15 miles from Pearce.

Gin Gin is like area 51 from the gate. Its totally dead. only a run way, a tower and a few containers for us to hang around in. with loads of large flys that after hitting them they leak some maggots from their butts. but anyway, so there is no canteen or any other food vendors there, so wat we do is, students cook!

So no one in my course can cook, so... i volunteered to try for my first time, fry meat!!!! haha yay.. it was good, dry and crunchy like they wanted it. I'm a natural man.


Anyway, on track to Friday first solo. The planner applied for exclusive use of Gin Gin on Friday.. so.. hopefully i get it on friday!

At this rate, first solo is expected to be on Friday. But weather forcast for tmrw is "thunderstorms". So... It betta NOT RAIN for crying out loud!!!!!!!

Anyway, i'll post his photos when i find them. you're welcome.

My favourite emergency action.


"Grasp handle with both hands.
Rest head against head rest firmly
legs stretch fully forward
keep back straight
keeping elbows close to body, pull ejection handle upwards smartly"


I'll come down with a story of a lifetime.


Anyway, things i miss about Singapore. Newton Circus, Chicken Rice, Corolla, Orchard Rd, thats all. NOt even my mom. lolz. life alone is quite fun haha. The food? thats why we're going to eat chicken rice in an hour's time!


ok they just came to my room askin me to go eat dinner. and my stupid lazy buddy claims he has no money to eat dinner. so not going out. Jean, pls sort ur bf out. thanks.. cheers world.



anyway to my cousin who claims i've gone fat, this is how e picture is supposed to appear. e previous entry, it was stretched horizontally, don't know how.

Progress Check is finally over. Wasn't the best flight i've had, but still passed. Was planned to fly Prog Check (GH9) and GH 10 on e same day, and i flew GH10 after GH9 without even bothering to find out if i passed Prog Cx. lolz.. assumed i passed haha

Anyway, flew for the first time with CLeong for GH 11 and for a long time since Lee G, i flew smiling. Not only was the flight good, it felt good too, cos CLeong was generous with "Very Nice"&"Good landing" things like that, while Ng T was using words like "FUCK U!" sparingly.

GinGin Detachment wil be starting nxt week wednesday. I forcast first solo to be flown on Friday. Mean while, got to practice "Engine failure" "Engine Fire" "total electric failure" "Radio Failure" "Low fuel Press" "Low oil pres" "Inverter Failure" "Generator failure" "Abort take off" "Ldg Gear emergencies" "Bird strike" "Aileron servo" "Stab Trim failure" "ECU failure" "canopy unlock" "oxy failure" bla bla. 2 simulator flights, total of solid 2 hours of emergencies to be thrown at me.

My progress check was canceled and replaced with Raphael's GH49.

My commander "Take Ong P out and put Leong T (Raphael) in."

And i was just behind him.

Commander "Check when Ong P last flown, if yesterday, it doesn't matter"

Instructor i was supposed to fly with "I think he flew yesterday"

I joined in the conversation "Sir, i flew yesterday"

I don't know why i blogged this today, but wat the hack.

Drove 124Bwc around and at the end of day, found myself with my Test in the morning, and the nxt flight in the afternoon. (GH9 and GH10) Looks like they xpect me to pass.. =)

Anyway, Resident evil 2, watched it over the weekend, and forgot to blog this down, the POLICE WOMAN is DAMN BLOOOOOODY HOT!!!!!! wat is her name?!?!? never seen her before!!!!!!!!! She really made me stare and oggle at the screen throughout!!!!

less than 24 hr to e arrival of 124 bwc.. *evil laughter*

Its been a while since i blogged. A busy week, with ups and downs, and my progress check flight is nxt week.. i forecast it to be on tuesday. So, here is one of the stuff we did this week.







take photo.







went to the beach. and thats life here. The waves were so so so so huge, couldn't resist the temptation of jumping into the water to fight with the waves. and the key here is FIGHT. Tried body boarding with boards we found in our bunks left behind by seniors, but threw it away after a few trys.. swimming on the waves was betta. and kumar has to lose his oakleys in the water.

"U can go in the water with the oakleys! its salt resistant!" he tellin us before jumpin into e water.

Apparantly it is salt resistant, but not fall resistant.

anyway, MONDAY is coming!!!!!!!!! be-earlied welcome to 124 bwc!

and why the fuck can't i connect to MSN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Temperature today topped at 31 degrees... its freaking cold now.. wierd weather. thank god, or else i would be sweating thru tonight.

I've never felt so prepared for a sortie before. =) ask me anything about discussions for GH7, and i can tell u at the tip of my fingers! i swear! anyway, tv time.. haha well done pehon!

anyway, airtickets are toooo expensive.. qantas is A$1100 and SIA $1200.. the price seems to be going up and up, and can't get tickets now, cos the holiday period is not even confirmed. so.. can't go back, never mind la. everyone can mail me the presents during chirstmas.

my mouse has a life on its own. I can be happily surfing the net, reading something, or typing on the keyboard, and the mouse keeps movin around, in a manner that doesn't seem random. It moves to the start button, click and moves to the close button on the window and closes, it even moves to the address row in explorer and clicks, and make a selection.

The best guess i have is that someone living in the vicinity of my computer is using the same microsoft wireless mouse. Maybe my "antenna" is picking up his/her signals.. hmmm i'll get back on that.

Anyway, just had a great afternoon nap on this wonderful confined saturday afternoon. From monday onwards, its exactly 1 week to the arrival of 124 bwc. lookin forward to it, and hope it brings betta times to live here. no more flag and ration!!! yay!!

Singapore idol. I'm current current on spectacular 1 and 2. just watched it on video tape a moment ago. I'm very disappointed jesse and david got eliminated. Why the hell is jerry ong still in? why didn't singaporeans vote for jesse?

(and damn. I just read that Jerry is out of idol on CNA.com. SHIT... "Jerry to keep singing option open dispite idol exit" or something like that i jus read. For goodness sake Jerry, pls don't sing anymore for the good of mankind. Seeing u sing can jus piss the entire world off.)

And the idol is gonna represent singapore in world idol. Thats something i won't wanna miss!!! and this idol business in singapore is geting quite serious. At first i didn't think much of the contestants even if they win, cos the market isn't that big here, but performing in world idol would really really boost their fame, or even wealth.

And pls Singapore, do u really want sylvester Sim to represent our sunny island? What will e world think of singapore if they see him. "Singapore is nothing but an island dominated by Taiwanese looking Ah Bengs" (of cos they won't say ah beng but u get wat i mean). So i appeal to the people that is so physically far from me, but so near to my heart, please don't allow Sylvester Sim win!??!?!?

And anyway, my favourite 2 idols.. Maia and Taufik. (Maia and jesse, sadly she's gone)

Fav underdog.. Daphne

anyway, the idols look good in the show (xcept for fucker sim), the idols sound good, Singapore Idol has finally brought the industry to the nxt lvl. Well done.
Ps. No more organ accompanied singing, pls for goodness sake!

Most hated.. Sylvester

Best singer is probably.. Olinda and Leandra

well well.. thats all folkes.

State pensions for retirees not feasible: Manpower Ministry -15 September 2004 0138 hrs http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/106644/1/.html

And honestly, nobody owes us a living, as an individual. U don't prepare well enough for retirement, due to unemployment or other reasons, tough shit. Suffer thru ur twilight years. U can't get employed? probably you're too lousy as a worker.

I'm glad our government is able to stand ground on what is best for the country, even how unpopular certain decisions are.

out of the thousand of applicants,
240 get selected for Airgrading. of those,
80 goes BWC. Of these, only about
40 goes on to advance stages.

Had preflight with Ng T, didn't understand him, he didn't understand me. And so it ended.

"So Sir, wat time do i walk out? do i walk out with u?"

"*mumble mumble*" and he walked out.

Lost, i went to ask around, decided to kit up first. Waited damn long. take off was planned for 1530, it was already 1500. Had to consider all the checks, taxying and stuff before taking off.

And so i decided to walk out myself. Checked the aircraft, about to climb in, this marshaller, lady, came to me.

"You got to go back. You didn't sign something."

wat did i forget? SHIT MY RAMS!!!!!! (its ok if no one understands wat RAMS are. Its obviously something i need to fill up)

And so i left my helmet there and went back to fill up the RAMS. Time now was 1520h. Obviously i'll be late.

Went into the kit room, my instructor's helmet and kits were still on the stand untouched. 1525h.

Fucking hell. Gone. Gonna fail the sortie i think. SO damn late already.

And went out to the smoking point, that cowboy was smoking.

"Sir, do we take off still?"

"U walk first"

End of hell.


"Climb now" Indian accent. or rather wat i thought it was. Must be someother aircraft talking. OK fine i'll ignore that. continue flying.

"CLIMB NOW LA!!!" Obviously not indian, its my instructor. *CLIMB* "wah damn slow leh" kaoz... not slow lor.. jus don't click.

Anyway, so after some fighter moves, to avoide clouds we found ourselves going home and at 390 kts (Close to the a/c limit). errr.. about more than 600 km/h? not sure.. pls correct me.Landed, and looked at watch. 1650H.

"Sir i've got a Simulator in 15 mins time. Do u wanna debrief after that?"

"I'll call u"

and so i went on to the simulator with a nicer instructor, at least an instructor who i could communicate with.



the vehicle i fly with. Nope, i'm not in the picture, and i didn't take the picture. Its jus a photo.

Just plan me for my sortie u bitch! waiting is making me restless.

there are alot of the bird that goes "mine mine mine" in Finding Nemo. Keep wanting to laugh when i see the birds

anyway, browsed thru my friendster list, and i clicked on "CDO 5th COY" and saw all my previous platoon mates in their red berets and their pictures of marching in the National Day parade. I'm actually very very happy to see them pass out as commandos and representing them in the national day parade.

honestly, after all the army coursemates i've met, both in commandos and ocs, i've come to realise army counterparts are the real ones who are selfless. in the airforce, there are so so so many people who i don't know for wat signed along the dotted line, and are here in australia complaining. No time to do this, do that. Who e hell told them life will be easy. Who e hell forced them to sign the paper? Get the hell out of here or stop complaining.

went shopping today at Garden City today, with my war torn palm. felt so rich, and finally i walked into a building that strikes me as a "shopping centre" and i started what i was supposed to do.

went to this shop "live" and bought a damn nice polo tee that no one in singapore will have and bought a 80$ dull green wallet that is dman nice. haha finally can throw away the pirated gucci wallet. walked to this "beach" shop, and the cashier girls wore short beach shorts and bikinis, and the girls working there other than the cashier girls were wearing short shorts and they all loooked so sweet and cute and pretty! haha at first i was like "eh, what is with the angel wings huH?" cos i saw so many pretty girls in it, until i realised they were all slaves of the shop.

and so we walk and walk, than my wound started bleeding, from dunno wat, and i bought antiseptic, that made the bleeding worse (wasn't the drying kinda antiseptic)

anyway, so at 1630, they called me and daryl, asking if we wanted to watch movie. we wanted to shop around so said no. so they watched 1645 movie and me and daryl walked around. At 1655 we went into the beach shop again and than at 1705, we asked the shop guy "what time do u close" cos we realised the place was getting empty. he said 1700h.. ok.. fine.. so we bought our stuff (a sock) and we went out and saw the ENTIRE place empty. we were like wat the fuck, cos everyone else was smart enough to watch a movie, while we were both stranded in dead mall.

so we drove down to a near by cafe and sat there. and so the story ends now.

SYLVESTER SIM HAS A FAN CLUB??!?!?! IN FACT ALOT OF FAN CLUBS!!??!?!?!?!? WAT THE HELL IS WRONG IS SINGAPORE?!?!??!

if that idiot wins idol, i swear i will be damn disappointed with singaporeans. what e hell?!?!? how the fuck is that ah beng doing so well!??!

Just removed 3 grains of road from the wound in my left palm. OUCH. Stupid buddy too weak to support my weight, causing me or errr us to fall on the road. The split seconds before i contacted the ground, i swear i saw everything in slow motion. I was able to roll myself and see myself flying towards the road curb and me tellin myself to embrace myself for landing, and tellin myself to put only one hand to land. maybe the moments before dying, this is what people will experience.

the story is so summarised and doesn't totally xplain the entire shit.


anyawy, I'm sitting here checking my bank account cos i'm xpecting money in today, and i'm finally living my life here, watching money grow in my Singapore account, and even my Australian bank account. haha a good feeling, really. think this is the largest ammount of money i've saved on my own abilities (without parental help).

haven't flown for a week already. Well, had OFT 5 that day, but i don't consider simulators "flights" so.. yeah.. quite disappointed. Was pretty current in flying, and now, i'll have to adapt to whatever flight conditions all over again. hmmmm.. see how it goes.

Book out tmrw, and happy birthday KAHSIAN!

and i forgot to mention about the Honda Integra dunno wat model, the slower, $80k car. Think it deserves to be mentioned in my car "wishlist"

Night flying tmrw! I'm not doing it, so it means i go work late, and go back to bunk early!!! haha anyway, been thinking of wat car to buy.

1. Mazda RX-8 - $130k++ if i took a 120k loan, i'll have to pay $1200 a month. Half my future pay, can afford it, but it will oso mean i can't go anywhere cos i'll have no more money to spend. But things will be different if i could get my dad to sponsor (i have never wanted my dad to fork in for my car, so this is jus a passing thought). He did tell me before that he'll only help me if i get a normal car like corolla and sunny. I told him its ok, i'll save my own money. But if i really want this car, i'll probably tell him this car is not a sports car, cos there are 4 doors, its only a 1.3 so how fast can it be right? ahha maybe it'll trick him to paying maybe.. $60k for me? but it'll mean i'm going against what i REALLY in the first place, which is not to live off my parents anymore.

2. Hyundai Tuscani 2.7fx- $88k If i buy this car, i don't have to take any money from my dad, and i'll be able to afford the $80k loan i intend to take.. $1000/m and i'll have enough money to pay for my personal espenses. But i'll bleed to death paying for the road tax, insurance and petrol since its a 2.7 l car..

3. Hyundai Tuscani 2.0 - $84k 4000 difference between the 2.0 and 2.7. At first glance, it seems like its more worth gettin the 2.7, but truth is i don't have to worry about insurance, road tax and petrol cos its more affordable paying for a 2.0.

4. Mercedes C200 (coursemate's) - <$50k 2nd hand. Looks like a good deal. affordable, installments only come up to $700 month, the fuel consumption though high will be offloaded by the low monthly installments. But it had some problems when i was in Singapore, but its been fixed.. 5 year old car, alot of problems coming up soon i guess, and its an Auto. I wan a manual....

5. 2nd hand of mazda or hyundai- minus $10k at least from the original price. Good choice. But i still want a manual no matter wat.

6. Get posted to France, get a peugeot there, and come back Singapore with more money to get the RX-8 MYSELF!

Its e queen's birthday!

on the way to the Perth Royal Show, we lost our way, and we found ourselves nxt to the indian ocean, and i saw the US Navy Carrier!! It was a great sight. seeing it along the horizon.. could see the shapes of the folded wings of fighters on the deck and stuff!!!

anyway, the perth royal show was wonderful. Had alot of rides, had alot of games, but i didn't wanna spend much after spending 18dollars in entrance fees.. there were dog shows, bird shows, chicken shows, many many fun fair rides, exhibitions, agricultural displays, ancient machinery, blacksmith demo, and amongest all the happening stuff, there was this dog that will definitely make everyone of u melt at e sight of it. .its soooo cute!




and by the way, jes, u sure u knew what i was talking about in the previous few entries not? okies then.. i'lll use more terms nxt time.. =)

123bwc getting drbriefed in half time in an all impt match btw 122 and 123. (nope i'm not in the picture, and there wasn't a real match)




group photo taken during national day





Everybody booked out. I'm confined, and i'm on duty today. FUcked up man. Everyone's going for dinner outside already while i'm here gettin ready go go lower the flag. lolz.. anyway, happy queen's birthday! i'm going for e perth royal show tmrw!!!

Today i was doing OPs basically i jus stay in the OPs room where all the day's flying, aircraft number, Go/NOGO basically everything that a pilot needs is found there. The weather is bad and the CO started making changes early in the morning. He looked at Lee G's name (an instructor, my instructor) and had to cancel his Medium Level Navigation sortie for the senior due weather.

And so Lee G started talking to the CO, Lee T and Lee T asked Lee G who was his "basic" student and he said ONG P (me) and i began to pick up my name tag and than i heard Lee T say "ok u fly with ONG P and i put my name on the flying plan.

"So ONG P, panic already not?" Lee G asked me.

"No Sir, I'm ready"

And so i flew the sortie totally without the b4 night prep.

But magic! My sortie went so well that even the debrief he said he was happy with my progress!! haha having good grades and praises from Lee G is said to be rare and i'm so damn happy that i could not help but smile after the debrief. haha and the grade sheet look so damn good anyway.

And i know that all that read this blog won't understand 90% of wat this entry is saying, probably only gabriel understands, but what eva la. haha sorry if u all didn't understand. Cos i already tried my best to type this entry in lay mens' terms. soooo... i could have typed every thing more aviation like if i wanted.


i don't think anyone will understand wats below this line.
To add, the pearce tacan was out today and so i had to use the perth dme and ndb for orientation. I had to keep to a new set of radials and range boundaries and e weather was so bad i could not see the landmarks.

Today is my book out day! Book out.. Book Out!!

Its e end of e month, and the squadron met e flying qouta for e month, and the day ended early with only one wave of aircraft taking off. The CO decided to allow us to go to e gym first, and than allowed to bookout at 1500h.

Went to Perth City and watched Alien V Predator. E show was ok.. not extremely good, but i really loked the scene where.. Peace was made..

Its been 8 days since i had a training sortie. the wait is killing me!!! fly me!!

i had a joy ride today, and it wasn't a normal sortie. it was a "close form" sortie. I"m basically a passenger in e plane flying with the CO while my senior is in formation with me behind. and we changed over after tat. although no flying on my part, it was damn fun cos it opened my eyes to the nxt phase of flying. the precision.. can't wait to get there!

Keegan and Heng trying to be an australian originated bear.



I'm amazed by e work of nature. Millions of millions of years ago, a piece of land broke off from the rest of e world, which was back then, one continent. And so this piece of land that broke off is called Australia millions of years later.

I'm amazed at how the hell did the rest of e world not evolve animals with pouches, and why only australia had native creatures with pouches? The kangaroo itself is a very strange creature. I saw two kangaroos punching each other the other day with their tiny arms! Why did nature create hopping creatures here in australia? why did nature made animals that are native here to have pouches? what is e reason that e rest of the animals in other parts of e world not see e need to have pouches, but only here? i can't be bothered to read up on all the bone museum thingy, so if anyone out there has any explanation, pls tell me.

Looks like not only nature has evolved funny things here. Humans here has developed huge vehicles that take up 2 lanes.

I've gotten my own personal internet!!! yahoooooooo....! so damn excited tonight don't think i'll be zzzing! haha.. its 0219 over here and it freezing out there... just started raining outside

we went to e beach for a bbq today, and for e first time, i was right nxt to the indian ocean! the waves were large enough to make our waves in singapore look lame. The bbq went on fine, and it was towards the end when all instructors left and all seniors left leaving our course to clean up our pit, (*pause* i just heard a mouse outside e window as i'm typing this) a group of australian teens started to talk to us. first came this blonde girl who was 17 and was high with her 2 other friends who i didn't really care about cos e blonde girl was cute.

She was blonde in everysense of e word. she asked us how long were we in australia already and we said 2 mths and she said how do u all speak such good english if u were only 2mths old?

and than this other guy (a seriously cool and friendly teen who was in e group of high girls) came to talk to us. We were talking and talking about life in singapore and his life in australia and his mini cooper which i almost asked him to let me drive and that blonde girl came over to us again with another guy with her this time and asked the guy where was her bag. The guy looked towards the bench that all his friends were at and pointed at her black bag.

After she left, we started laughing at her blindness and her blonde-ness. It was quite fun talkin to these people and cpt lau had to interrupt us to ask us to get abck to camp for god knows what reason. so we said goodbye and stuff. but anyway, dont think anyone will understand wat i jus type cos wat i jus did was type "words" and not sentences.

anyway, here are some photos that i can finally upload!




on our way to Perth!





one of e seniors came back with e car looking like this. Apparantly it was a Kangaroo..




this is e view out of my window





city




my room!

My 4th flight today (8 sorties including my sims). Was almost planned for sortie 5 tmrw. Saw my name on e planning board, but was taken out very soon. Anyway, been real busy. Juggling orientation this friday, all e duties that have been assigned, all e work as e duties planner.

Every single of us are xpected to get pissed drunk this friday cos of our orientation. luckily i've been getting drunk for e last 2 fridays in our drinking training. I don't care wat happens tat night. I don't care if i collapsed this friday in the middle of e mess and zzz thru the night there. I just can't wait for orientation to be over. Get over and done with it, and all our minds will be clear.

Being here for 1 mth plus and so much stuff being bombarded to us, i can really see selfisth characters appearing. People with virtually NO capacity to do anything.

But anyway, being so busy, i really enjoy e excitment the day brings to me. To keep myself alert and my gym sessions more effective, i've been taking hydroxi-cut (don't know how to spell). its really really damn bloody good! been feeling so awake thruout e day. haha anyway, time to zzz. got to wake upearly tmrw.

Nite world!

Finally planned for flight tmrw. god pls don't play any tricks on me with e weather again. haha taking off from another airfield 15 miles away and landing back home tmrw. I'm real lucky to get this chance.. haha thank u so much to whoever planned me to do such a thing!!

anyway, gabriel, if u're reading this, hope u take good care of urself! will meet up with u when i go back for a holiday in december!

flying in e real aircraft is a real dream man. felt so at home in that cockpit. The view from 12000ft is so damn good, and even betta at 1000ft. the canopy is all around me, cos of that, the view is soo soooo magical. hope i get planned on monday..

Tmrw is gonna be e eve of my arrrival here. Other courses start actual flying in e real thing 3 mths after arriving. I'm flying my first actual sortie tmrw. GH 1. 124 bwc, betta start studying. won't be surprised if u all get e same shit.

Ok, i tell u wat happened the last 3 days. Friday, Saturday, Sunday

1. We had happy hour, and some senior backstabbed me (idiot)

2. After that happy hour, the same seniors went to instructor's house. ON the way back, they apparantly bruised a kangarooooo without knowing. Until near the camp, ;they realised that the car was smoking and they got out. the entire front was destroyed. I'll upload the picture when i can. there was no blood (so i guessed the kangaroo didn't die). And the Airbag protected car did not release the airbags. How dangerous. The funny thing was that that car, on that same day in the morning, it was sent for dry cleaning.
3. we booked out to perth city, and i ran into limlee.. perth CITY itself is smaller than orchard, or so it seems. U'll run into everybody there. The moment i saw her, i realised that the oakleys that she bought for me was no longer with me. Yup and that leads me to e next point.

4. I lost my oakleys

5. I didn't do much studying over the weekend.

6. We rented 2 lancer coupes, 1.8 MANUAL. On sunday night we wnet to return the car that was 45mins away from camp. and outside the rental shop (it was closed) that was located in the middle fo an industrial estate, there was this damn long and empty road. I decided to to wat i always wanted to do to a manual car. I pointed e car to the stretch of road, High beamed, and reved till 7000rpm, and release the clutch on gear 1. *screeeeech*!!! yup. i did a Fast and Furious jump start. haha it was so damn fun. The car started slidding to the left and i had to countersteer alot. and the aftermath, i created alot of burnt rubber u can smell thru the aircon sys, and i left a deep mark on e road. I'm gonna rent a bmw z4 or any other sports car when my parents come and do e same to it man..........

My second sortie! Both sorties were like so damn last min.

My first, i was in the cookhouse, at the lounge, playing darts (i'm pretty good) and than CPT Boo came over and screamed "Pehon where is alfred?!? U 2 go back for OFT (simulator), NOW!" Than i was thinkin maybe the flight is 1 hr later. but he said the flight is NOW!

Felt like i was back in the army. Scrambled into a car (our rented daewood kalos) and scrambled for my helmet g-suit and stuff, and got ourselves into the sims.

And today i only knew about my flight on that day itself. it was about 11am and i was jus bumming around reading some stuff, and LT Lau came and said "there is a change in the ops board. Bla bla bla, bla, bla, and Pehon u are all flying TODAY." my flight was at 2030. and this morning i woke up at 5 for flag and ration duty. perfect timing.

Anyway, these few days the fronts are coming in. the first time i'm experiencing frontal weather, and the wind gust to such velocities that can literally blow me away.

anyway, first sortie was kinda a breeze. but 2nd sortie i was a little not myself. maybe its the lack of zzz, and lack of O2 in my brains.. hmmmm maybe.

THANK U MARCUS FOR LETTING ME US THE FREE GPRS INTERNET TRU M1. Thank u mobile 1

Winter is ending, the weather is warming up. The cold fronts are coming in, it is getting more and more windy. The transition is so nice! I'll miss winter.

WE mooved into your pernament accoms already.. the place is so much more cosy, but a little smaller too, but i'm happy still. I'm in a very holiday mood now cos the accomslook so dman hotel like and so confy. I and gerald moved into the blocks first cos we woke up early and our course only have 2 cars for now. anyway, i realised i have so much more now than when i arrived 3 weeks ago.. hmmmmm...

we got there, we were so disappointed our rooms weren't wired with the lan lines. (the wired up here literally means physical wires being connected from room to room, unprofessionally, hung across the building to the next block). We explored where all the lan lines traveled to from the window, and realised that there was a room where the was a line running under its door. I pulled and squashed the line out of the door, gerald climbed out from my window onto the railing outside the window, and i threw the line a distance of 3 rooms away to him, and tada! we are wired. But i don't know if the block has internet access though. got to wait for the seniors to come back from their week ends to see if they have internet access..

cheers mates!

No more simulators for the rest of e week.. wait a min.. maybe saturday will have again..

And i oso heard that by nxt week, we will all complete all 3 sim sorties (OFTs) and than we'll be flying 2 sorties a week each. Compared to the seniors who start 3 mths later.

What Paris? What eiffiel tower? Whole buncha crap. Honestly I would have loved to too.. well, too bad.




Winter's ending. But its still cold. Tmrw 4 people are doing the sims tmrw. I'm not one of them.. sigh.. wait again. anyway, been very bbbbbusy.. yesterday we worked from 730hr to 2300hr.. extremely hardworking eh? we stayed up till so late to rush out our name tags for the Ops board. well.. i think 90% of u won't understand wat i'm talking about.

we had a Air Traffic Controller tour that day, and we went to the Pearce radar to take a look.. than while the "tourist" was talking to us, he pointed to us a SIA223 that was landing in Perth (Pearce and perth are practically a stones throw apart). That made me miss home so much. But i'm over it already. I've been so damn busy i get over everything so quickily. Everything.

Kiezin, nope, not all of them learnt their lessons. Some people have become very very roudy, some even more childish and blah blah blah.

Anyway, 3 quizes today!!! how unreal is this man! well well, 2 of the tests have a passing score of 100%... haha bet none of u have ever taken such a test right? lolz~!

Well, i had a good weekend, studied, exercised intensively (to counter all that dead cow) flew in formation on the simulator (formation landing) with keegan (it was dman nice) and studied for the threee tests... haha it was a GOOD weekend i say.



anyway, to YOU. U made the decision. I once thought that i'll never part with u again. But this time, i'll make sure u regret what u just did.

MY course is filled with a whole bunch of idiots who don't know when to keep their fucking crap mouth shut.

Our end of day debrief takes forever, why? cos people keep talking crap, making dumb brainless comments, and show no respect to people who are talking.

I've never studied so much in my life before. Its serious intensive from morning till i zzz, grabing every moment possible to study my long list of checks.

hello world! i'm using e common computer found at the "canteen", that really looks like a restaurant.

e weather is damn bloody nice.. jus that at night and in e morning, it can get quite cold, but who cares man. haa the food is even betta. so damn bloody nice!!! suasages for breakfast, steak for lunch, steak for dinner. U get my drift. I hope i get sick of it very soon or else i'll come back 100kg heavier.

OH the good thing is that the base is dman bloody big, so you can actually find alot of space to run. And the gym is damn bloody well equipt. We're lucky cos this weekend is e national day celebration, and we are allowed to go out, instead of having a 3 weeks confinment.

And there are loads to study! morning to night, study study study, and i can't finish. SOme idiot caled kahsian who came her 3 months earlier than me told me that i can come here and study, but how did we know that our flying will start 3 weeks from the time we arrive, and first solo by december. Usually first flights wouldoccur in november. see the difference? they wanna chase us out of this place. Pls la at least let me enjoy e weather and nice place fist.

well well, 10000 people are waiting for teh computer, i'll see u alL~!

5 more hours to go.. thank u so much babe for givin me another chance.. I love u so much. =) haha at least i have something to be happy about in the mids of being pretty sad that i'm leaving.

and i got to go now man.. got so much more to pack. I'll blog again once i can.. good bye world!

24 hours more....

http://svt.se/hogafflahage/hogafflaHage_site/Kor/hestekor.swf
This hourses are so damn cute!!

where has all e flags gone?

I've been eating alot. Eating like there's no tmrw. I call it the pre departure syndrome.

Gonna be leaving on 2nd august. Another 4 days to go.

And i haven't got my advance pay yet. For goodness sake, please hear me! PAY ME! Or else i've got to use my savings to bring money over..

I'm in a course full of good for nothing slackers who do nothing everyday but worry about their leave, complain about every single thing, complain about so much to do (but the truth is they don't), being fucking irresponsible, leaving everything to be done by only a few people.

I'm hate being with these slackers. they're friends. They're not collegues.

"The report found Singapore allocated about US$5 billion to defense in its 1999 budget, up slightly from the previous year.

Thailand's defense spending in 1999 was about US$2.57 billion, while Malaysia's was US$2.03 billion and the Philippines' defense budget was US$1.48 billion.

Australia's defense spending was larger than those three countries at US$7.5 billion, or about 7.73 percent of the government's budget, according to the report. "


Imagine the things the world can do without the need for the military. Keep in mind the figures above are only for military. It excludes Internal Securities like the Police and even money companies set aside for security purposes.

Things that will happen:

Singapore will have more land for economic use. Tekong can be turned into a holiday resort with large beaches. Being well positioned, it can attract alot of visitors from across the straits.

Girls from JC will now not be able to meet older men in Universities.

Men will go to Universities with girls, their age. They'll not be able to cheat those young girls anymore.

We won't need doors.

I'll be jobless.

Together with ALOT OF other NSFs and Regulars.

Went Go Karting! the serious lateral Gs was way more than i've ever experienced on a land vehicle.. hmmm maybe not.. my cousin's civic seems to corner like the go kart..

anyway, we tried the 80 cc at malaysia.. well, the kart was fast enough, and going around corners was tight enough.. but nxt time we go, we'll be tryin the 125cc sports.. haha yeah.. lookin forward for the nxt trip!

the weather was so dman hot. the combination of smoky air and hot weather gave me a terrible headache straight from the start.. so glad to be a Singaporean! Clean air here is something we take for granted.

Anyway, we were crazy enough to take a bus and cab there.. nxt time i'll jus drive there.. super sian go take a bus and cab..

Aftermath


200m mark

"30 s! Keep it up!" Keefe (pronounced as keith) was screaming at me.
I was saying "What the fuck! i'm dead this time"


After passing the baton

Collapsed on the floor, feeling all dizzy, trying to catch my breath. I didn't wan to be on the floor. I stood up went to Huson and Keefe. "3min 15s" 10s betta than my best.

Walked around and decided to ly down again. Had a damn bad headache. ANd i'm still having that headache.
I'm glad i maintained the gap. That guy in front of me brought the best out of me.

But the team lost. It was our pet event and we lost. Nevermind. 2 more months of training. We shall be the next winners.

Carbo Loading

I love carbo loading.

Eating more rice with more gravy. More food that i've always wanted to over eat. Eating late into the night at 10 pm, my favourite japanese noodle, Soba. Eat and eat and eat and grow fat, all in the name of sports.


Tmrw is my 1km x 10 relay. We are supposed to carbo load yesterday night and this morning.

Meanwhile, i'm Trying to get into the frame of mind where I feel no pain. Running 1km is not easy. In fact its not a run, its a sprint for me.

0-200m Sprint all i can. Get to the end at 35s mark. Feel like my legs are falling apart. Wondering how the fuck am i gonna go on. I'm only 1/5 of the way.

200-600m Sprint some more. Finish this round in 1min 20 seconds. By now, legs are numb, the "wondering how the fuck" is now gone and i struggle to finish. At the 600m mark, my anus loses its ability to close.. and i feel like shitting.

600-800m Go go go! supposed to complete 600-1000 in another 1min 15 seconds. By now i'm happier. Its only another round. I struggle to open my strides. Wondering how the fuck am i gonna sprint the last 200m.

800m-1km! (last 200m) SPRINT!!! I try to run so fucking fast, but i'm too fuckin fast i realise i'm only thinkin that i'm running fast! IN fact i'm only struggling to keep up.

If i follow this timing, i'll complete the 1km run in 3min 10s. I challenge anyone to meet that. ThaT is the plan. Plans are meant not to work. I've trained so much for the lst month, i only run 3min 25 seconds.

Trying to make myself immune of pain now. Shall forget what ever i typed just about... NOW!

Yay!

"...In particular, our Economics program is also heavily oversubscribed, only 1 in 6 gets selected. I am delighted to let you know that you have not only won a coveted place at SMU but the course of your choice as well -- the Bachelor of Science (Economics) program! My heartiest congratulations!..."

I never thought i will be accepted into SMU.. i had a good interview, but my essay writing was bad.. i only took 15 mins of thne 30 mins given to me and i wrote like only one page of essay.. the topics were so not my cup of tea.. I was so happy to be accepted that i immediately click on the confirm link, until i saw this.

"To confirm your acceptance, a non-refundable confirmation deposit of $300 (inclusive of 5% GST) is required. This deposit will be offset against the Miscellaneous Fees payable when you enrol at SMU. "

No one told me about the money. Maybe another day. Stingy Pehon has no money. Will ask my dad.

Silver spoon

People born with the silver spoon.. they never need to worry about the lack of money. Once they finish what they spend, all they need to do is ask their mummys and daddys for refills.

"U think people eat sushi tei, cafe cartel, jacksplace, bakers inn, blah blah every single day, every single meal? U think they can afford it every day? $30 (per meal) x 2 times a day x 30 days=1800"

"But my mom brings me to Sushi Tei every single day"

"Ur mom is rich. She drives a S280 and owns a big big house"

"But every time i meet my friends, we also go eat at nice places"

"Do u meet ur friends everysingle day? everysingle meal?"

Will rich kids just grow outta of it? How the hell am i gonna afford eating those nice place food every day, pay for my petrol, pay for my insurance, pay for my phone bills, pay for my everything! I've got to go bankrupt just paying for food.

"even people like ks and jesmine don't eat those food everyday.."

"Really?" *gives me the unconvinced look*

*DUH!*

Wished i could live like them, not caring about money, have everything taken care of by parents who are filty rich, eat good food every single day.

Well, i'm happy just being modest and eating home most of the time, eating fast food and hawker food. Its more realistic, living a life that i can afford, rather than struggling to keep up with luxurious living not many can afford. I'm down to $299 im my bank. I'm gonna be even more stingy, having 15 more days left to the month.

Come along if u want.

lol so funny going for some modeling audition tmrw with sarah! so out of pt.. this guy jus stopped us on our tracks askin us to go for the audition. the funny thing was i was about to shoo him off thinkin he was some christian preacher cos he had a donation flag on his tie..

ITs official.. I've over spent once again.. Down to a few hundred dollars AGAIN! i'm dead pissed with myself. Argh.... Why why why??!?!

Today in training for the 1 km x 10 relay challenge, we trained as usual, and we did 800m x2 intervals. I tell u, the first 800 m we could run our targeted timing.. 2min 30s, but the nxt 800, i could only get a 3 min.. while some others got timings like 3min30s.. our legs could not move at all..

Anyway, looks like i created a large storm with the previous entry. Was just typing what i was thinking about. Cos i've been very troubled by my incredible spending abilities.

Everytime i seee people i know, they always ask the same old question. "So when are u leaving?" Although they asked the same question like less than 1 day ago. Ask and ask and ask, its very tiring to answer the same question to the same people every single day. I mean its alright if out of no where they ask, maybe once in a while.

And i dropped my 7200 yesterday. But its ok dont worry hee

Watched passion of the christ yesterday.. thought it was damn super good..

But i've been thinkin alot.. Owners? or leaders of the Churches? Like City Harvest and the rich churches.. Well.. i wished i could look into the minds of these people. They drive cars bigger and more expensive than most of us.. They draw pay from church doners every single day. These people are awfully rich. I wished i could jus see into their minds and see if they really are servants of Christ, or bussinessmen of Christ.
and
On Saturdays, do they look at the church go-ers and rejoice over the fact that they are being saved and know the truth, or do they look at the church go-ers, and think "Donations are coming in."

Hah u all stop guessing who is it! cos you won't guess it...

SzeMin.. I wanted to ask u to give me a photo!!! but jus didn't have time to do it.. cos i've never been home.. haha

No sarah, haha i wasn't mocking u! lol.... accuse me of something i never do.. argh.. never a new site will be up soon. haha

I caused my dad to go to court for overdue fine.. shit.. i always pay my fines.. dunno why this fine wasn't paid.. i always go to AXS stations to see what fines did i have unpaid...

And i have a new found hate for somebody. This is REAL hate, more real than jus being irritated. If i could, i wouldn't mind leaving with 122 or 124.

Pageant Elevates Unknown Girl To Heaven

Well, unknown at least to me.. Sandy Chua, someone who i would never have imagined would represent Singapore in any international Pageant, actually trashed everyone else and got crowned.

I got to admit that she did look good in the show, but i got to remind all u people out there, i never ever noticed her before in school. haha Anyway, well done man.

Quite sad for my friend, or should i say quite happy for him. His gf didn't make it to top 5, so sad for her.. But for him, at least she stays here in singapore with him. haha

And i can't believe the 1st runner up actually beat the 2nd runner up! the 2nd runner up is so much betta lookin...

Shit.. i made the flash thing.. full of features.. but it looks awful... bear with it for a while. gonna make another one by nxt week =)

I'm studying "Thunderstorms" now. Its all lightning and thunder right now outside, with BRIGHT sunlight.

Theory and Truth don't match man

Miss Singapore

Well, i just watched Miss Singapore, Preview Show?

There is a super surprise. I really really never expected to see her on the show.

Alright, my friend's girlfriend? She qualified and got into the semis. I'm not surprised with that. Cos she's pretty hot and everything. But there was this contestant that i found familiar. Her name is Sandy Chua.

At first when i first saw her, i thought "can't be" but after that, i saw her short intro clip with her friend, it suddenly came to me that she was from the same Combi as me! Back in JC, i never bothered lookin at her. It never occured to me that she was "hot", or "pretty" infact, i always thought she was damn super act chio.

someone said "i did notice her but she was always hanging out with weird guys" Guess she didn't appeal to me. I think many others in school can try for Miss Singapore and qualify like the way she did.

I guess she has never been a "super act chio". Good luck to Sandy Chua!



by the way, whats up with the show host?!?!? her hand gestures were so un-natural, she looked so wierd and her hand movements didn't match what she was saying.. she sucked big time man!

You are worth exactly: $2,498,594.00.

Anyone wants to buy me?

monday night we went out for supper.. at changi village.. just when we were driving off, i saw this black lancer. The driver inside was someone i hated so much. The entire car stared at him. Well, now that i confirmed its him, i wished i showed him the middlefinger.

You were in that car before

The hardest thing for me is to say no to u. I've never said no to u before. I wished i could have said Yes, but i really really think u need more time before u can be sure of urself.. Give urself some more time. Give urself a chance to try. You might be thinkin this way right now, but maybe a month or more down the road, or even when i'm overseas, you might change ur mind?

I do hope we can resolve this maybe in a few months time.. don't worry. i do wish we can be like wat we were before.. nxt time maybe, not now..

I don't wan to take engineering!!! my science friends who applied and got into a non science based course had their UCPTS scholarship for pilots rejected!!! i got accepted into NTU enginneering but i don't wan to take it!

I jus applied for business at smu and NUS. i really really hope and hope...!!!

I just finished my test..

Bought espresso last night. haha it got me thru till 2 am.. and at 1 am i took a caffine pill.. 30mg of caffine i think equals to 3 cups of coffee, but concentrated somemore.. haha.. will i did from caffine poisoning? well.. when we were zzzing, it seems like were too active to zzz.. haha we talked till so damn late before we finally shuttup and know wat was good for ourselves..

good luck to me!

Happy bday Samuel!

Anyway, it has been a very eventful week.. So many new people booked in with us on sunday. They're all old friends from AirForce Service Term in OCS. They're all gonna commission as officers soon.. damn it.

And there goes Saravanan complaining they get to commission one batch earlier than him though we were from the same batch. And there i continued that i still have 1 year 3 mths to go before going anywhere close to being commission! that really sucks to think about it. Why the hell must the queue for pearce be so dman long.

Aircraft system 1 was so damn technical that it became so boring. I'll be listening to lessons, and just the next moment, i'll find myself waking up.. I don't even realise i slept. Has anyone here felt that before? Butterfly effect? Well, i guess only army guys experience that.

This morning, after lessons, i went back to bed to zzz.. i woke up to find Lt Daryl infront of me, shouting "BAN ZAI!" the nxt moment i saw him jumpin high up in the air towards me.. Instintively, i raised my leg into him, and ya.. Inflicted as much pain into him as he did into me.

Lala.. any howz... going off for dinner already.. its samuel's bday..

Aircraft Systems


we started on a new topic. Its called aircraft system, and its toooo abstract for us man..

"Hydralic systems, this tube connects to this valve.... than to that container.... pump... valve.. than back to the container.... and here.. and there..."

what the fuck is this about.

i fear for my nxt test.

the text book is so "unreadable".

If my life is for rent
And I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
'cause nothing I have is truly mine
If my life is for rent
and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
'cause nothing I have is truly mine

Its hard being the bad guy.. The guilt to bear is horrible. I'll rather be the victim again. I hate saying what i said. Its the first time I've ever said this kind of stuff. I really wish i could be in ur place this time.

Sorry. Its not like the way u think it is. Its not. But there is nothing i can say to convince u. But its really not. I'm so sorry for thinkin this way. It hurts when u cried. U didn't even cry when u broke up with me. It really hurts so see u sad. I can't make it up jus by sayin sorry. But there isn't anything else i can say but sorry.

Please don't be angry with me anymore. Please forgive me. I'm not dismissing the future. But not in the near future. I dunno wat to type anymore.

I wan to see u happy again.

Sorry.

PRICE OF A FAIRLADY 350Z HAS DROPPED!!!! $150,100 the AUTO IS CHEAPER THAN THE MANUAL!! FIRST TIME I SEE AN AUTO CHEAPER THAN MANUAL!!! AND TOO BAD I"M SHORT OF $$$!!!

$$$

I'm bankrupt... after a series of accumulated bills from insurance and many other services, i'm left with 2/3 of my pay.. whats new.. this month is worst in my life man.. worse than that month that i had to pay for minor repairs to the car.. sigh..

Need to find alternatives man.. No mess. No eatin canteen food.. i'll settle for free SFI food in the cookhouse. No more drivin my corolla like an F1. I'll save petrol that way.. No using the phone as if its free. No buying of clothes, CDs or anything. I betta not damage the car. My target.. Only spend $600 this month. I always do that in JC, i'll do that again! But back then, no petrol at all!.. well now i don't have food to pay for.. argh..

The guys betta not go Malaysia Go-Kart. Or else i'll really really become a begger.

I'll never borrow money from anyone this month! it'll only make the nxt worse..

Looks like i've created a "wave" in the blogging world.. haha sorry **** ***, but you're seriously irritating.

Will everyone jus write their real name?

**** *** is the most fucking irritating person i've ever seen in the entire Air Force. Maybe in my life!

Complain Complain, Whine Whine


I had enough of all the idiots there who just refuse to count their blessings and just stop complaining, and just grow the up.

I hate people who go around complaining about the SAF, go around complaining about the food, go around complaining about the traffic police, go around acting like an inmature freak. Especially when they are my coursemates.

Some pilot trainee was discharged cos of some reasons that were obviously his fault, and was made to pay about $40,000++. When we signed on as Pilots, we were told that Breeching of Contract has a minimum cap of 250,000 or something like that. But that guy was made to pay $40k.

"ONLY??!?! So u mean what they told us about the minimum cap was fake? We were cheated?" How in the flyin fuck did the SAF being compassionate to this pilot trainee become cheatin the rest of us? So what will u say if the SAF asked him to compensate the maximum minimum cap? "Damn uncompassionate"? Will these people just use their brains and just a little bit of maturity before they make stupid comments.


"COL XYZ is crazy man, cos he said he likes military life. He works everyday till late at night and he is still happy with the job"
"He is a COL for a reason. He worked for it" - me
"But he is crazy!"
WHere in this world, can u climb up the ladder without even using any hardworK? U think everything just comes to u so easily without workin for it? Maybe the person who said can go become a GIGGLO cos he acts like one. Even then he needs to work hard and stop being spoilt to be a rich gigglo.


"SAF food sucks"
Seriously the food doesn't suck. I feel damn cheesed off when people jus say "Lunch in canteen? I can't stand eatin SAF food man!" One reason why they should stop these nonsense. T-H-E F-O-O-D T-A-S-T-E O-K


I am really wondering how am i gonna spend 1 freaking year with these WHINY assholes in pearce.

Horse Racing

I heard that there was cross country finals today.. and A div was to be done at 5 pm.. So i decided to take a drive after work.

With Keegan's help, we found our way to the car park right nxt to the Racin track. It was damn cool. On the way in, i saw this Sec school girl, with nice legs =) cryin on floor right nxt to the road with 2 friends takin care of her. The later cried until she hyper-ventilated as i was drivin out.

But the main event was the Horse Racing. Err i mean cross country. It was such a big big field with such a long long track for them to run. I can imagine what are they thinkin as they run. "Wah fuck why i join cross country" "What!!! another BEND???!!" i respect these people man.

The atmosphere in the grand stand was so similiar to horse racin too. Can imagine all the councilers takin bets and every cheerin out their horse number. hee..

"Errr.. ok, u all can go for ur lunch break now.

If i don't come back by 1330hr, wait la.. errr

If i don't come back by 1400hr, wait..

If i'm not back by 1500hr, its ur sports time right? so.. u all go for sports la."

That has been my daily routine for the last 2 days. Quite fun. I've been havin more zzz than i ever had in my entire life. I haven't been feelin well. Went to see doctor today. I was thinkin, Muscle Aches, Fever, Diarrehoea, Vomitting, i've read this before in a book, "Hot Zone", maybe i have ebola.

No i don't. I don't even have an MC..


okok i think i betta rush abck to my bunk now.. I'm havin a horrible stomache right now. argh.

Went walla walla yesterday.

Called KahSian "Eh meet there at 9 oclock!"

"So early? why? Go later la sure got seats one la!"

So we decided to go there at 9 30.

Got there, no seats. Who was the one who said so early? Anyway, we got seats in the end so i am not complaining.

THe band was called Unexpected i think. the band consisted of 4 people. One drummer. The main singer was a girl, the others were guys. Anyway, i'm here to praise her singing man!

At first the songs she sang didn't really showed off her singing abilities much. She sang the happy remix of "Love me by collin rayne i think" and all other songs did not really make her sound exceptional. But towards the 2nd half of the show, she began to sing damn super well. The last song she sand was the song by Evernesense (ok i dunno how 2 spell) and she sound so damn good. All talent scouts. Sure u have searched throughout singapore and found nothing? maybe u missed this band?

Anyway, i think the singer is so cute. haha she sings and smiles at the same time and at the end of the show, she was so happy it was the end, that she started chantin "Saturday Saturday see u all on saturday! Look forward to saturday saturday saturday... ok bye!" but i guess only me and ryan think alike. haha

A typical Moody and PMS day. Just a thought.... I jus type what i am thinkin. so there isn't really any structure in this.

Somebody's ex's bro said pilots and the trainees are fucked up bastards who are heart breakers.

What the hell.

Used to think that pilots (i'm not sayin pilot trainees) are the happiest buncha people in the world cos of the image that they have. The image that they have many many girlfriends, many many pretty friends and stuff. They were the heart breakers.

But i've come to realise that maybe they're heart breakers cos when they were trainees, they might have experienced what many of my pilot trainee mates are experiencin right now? Girls break their hearts. We are the ones that go to work to see a different sad face day by day.

So many trainees that i know had their gfs endin their relationships. And the trainees are the ones who seem so affected, while the girls seem so damn fine.

Maybe this is the small price to pay as trainees for the future.

An article

Was readin this article on pilots that are here in Singapore for the Asia Aerospace.

Most are fighter pilots and many have seen combat. They have seen war. They are professional soldiers.

Sellin my life in the AirForce, I really believe that if u are here, u better seee real combat at least once, before u retire or cross over to SIA. Or what the hell are u here for. Many guys i know said that they will run away when they are attacked. Than i'm thinkin in my mind "These fuckers are paid so well for nothing".

They say its not worth losin their life. They're here jus for a trip thru NS, or jus here to bridge their future SIA careers.

I'm prayin that when the time does come, they won't run. Cos I'm the kind that will volunteer myself in Iraq or East Timor. And i don't wan to fight alone.

Something is disturbing me.. i'm feeelin damn bloody moody today..

Asian Aerospace

Hello suckers out there who paid 21 for the weekend tickets and 50 for the trade day tickets!

I've the invitation to AA for free!!! We're going this friday!! haha yay!

Its nights out today. =)

we have absolutely no lessons for this whole week. haha so damn free in camp

"oooooooooooooooooo-------Oh!
Why are u born so beautiful,
Oh why are u born at all!
You're no FUCKIN good to anyone,
You're no FUCKIN good at all!"

The traditional pilot trainee at aviation wing birthday song that will be sung right after the proper song.

Happy birthday to me!

Thank u so much Amos, Samuel, Kwanyi, Kahsian, Jesmine, Ryan, Chief, Huson, Daryl, and special mention, Sarah! Thank u all for the song and the singin was so damn loud, i swear it was way louder than the *"tump tump"* in embassy. Anyway, thank u KY for puttin some of the cheese cake into my face. Thank u SARAH! for the cake, the candles (2 big ones) for the idea and everything! thank u so much Sarah. Its probably the first bday of this kind for me. =)

Congrats to Daryl's babe for clinchin 3rd, Congrats to Samuel's Sarah for gettin top 5!

its my first official nights out! hello world!

My weekend is finally endin. For the first time in my life, weekends are actually dreaded. I hate weekends. I hate coming home. The moment i step home, the feelin of loneliness will creep in almost instantly. When i'm in camp, the company i get from everyone else just makes me forget about every shit i'm thinkin about.

For once, i'm really lovin bookin into camp.

the last 3 days were a real torture. Stayin alone at home with the phone nxt to me, its very temptin to make a phone call. But i'm glad i resisted all temptation quite well for the first time in a long time. What made the weekends worse was that there was Vday. The moment i stepped into town, everything comes in pairs. Even the road side buskers at the underpass from taka to luckyplaza. Even the menu at Gusto had the Valentine Special. Luckily i had 2 guys with me who made the day much easier to go by. Thanks Amos and Ryan. Yeah we should go to the lounge more often.

I've lost focus on everything. I was so focused when i was in camp. Now i'm quite lost once again. I'll go back into camp and refocus. Maybe i'll be fine once again once i book out next weekend. Maybe i'll dread the weekends once friday comes by.

We'll see.

But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscious seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like i do, and I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain woe
Can show through
\No one knows what its like
To be mistreated, to be defeated
Behind blue eyes
No one know how to say
That they're sorry and don't worry
I'm not telling lies

No one knows what its like
To be mistreated, to be defeated
Behind blue eyes
No one know how to say
That they're sorry and don't worry
I'm not telling lies


And oh.. i've learnt how to play this song.. Limp Biskit Blue eyes. My first song learnt out totally from readin guitar tabs without anyone helpin.

i am so so so so so sad.. supposed to go to Johore on some SMU Go-Kartin outin today but i don't have the car today so i can't go... sigh.. if only i didn't have dinner with my family cos of my grand ma's bday..

Happy valentine day to everyone! I spent a large part of v day zzzin till 3 pm and then meetin Amos in town. He was shoppin around for stuff for his GF, who was meetin him way later.

And so he got this room at a hotel and was so excited to meet her cos he had this thing to give to her and a whole evenin planned out for her. Never seen him so excited over a girl before. But the wait turned quite bad and soon enough, 3 sad men were spendin vday with each other, travellin around Taka.

we spend the time from 9pm to 1200pm waitin out at the lounge at top of the M. Amos was lookin at his handphone so many times durin the wait. it was fresh seein him waitin for a girl to call him. And he was so damn happy when she finally came LATE at night. =)

i know there isn't any structure in what i'm typin. so sorry about that

it was fun. More importantly, i realised the importance of "guy" friends. They will stand by u no matter what happen to u. How often do u see 2 guy friends fight each other. Even if there was, most of the time they'll be fightin over a girl or something.

i aint really thinkin straight now so i think i betta not type crap for the world to see.

I love stay-in life. Not the life where u have to fall-in here and then, and the instructors give u a few push ups and stuff. But the life where u return to bunks at about 1700hrs after all ur lessons and u are free to do anything, and unofficially, have dinner out.

That was what we did on wednesday and thursday. I had my car, so we went out for dinner. Wednesday night, marina bay. Thursday night, holland V.

And wednesday night i smoked the first cigar and the first cigeratte. The cigar tasted nice. the other tasted like shit. But i'm not addicted.

Thursday at holland V, ate katong laksa. Other than feelin fat the nxt morning, the food was damn good. =) and we ran into a bunch of Ryan's frien. All girls. How popular.. haha but eh! i saw Amos's Sharon! hello out there if u see this haha small world. AC + RJ connection. Crap. Oh but at the lakso place, i saw this damn damn damn hot girl! short hair, slim, and her face.. wow.. seriously. we were challengin each other to go talk to her until we saw her butch gf.. damn.. LES.. seriously a waste.. and we saw a holland v actress. She was no way close to that short hair girl in terms of prettiness.

Stayin in althoughs brings u away from ur families, It brings u closer to ur friends. At the same time, it brings u away from all ur sorrows. I've been feelin so much betta in camp, i don't wan to go home. I hate comin home. Never would i imagine myself being the kind of want-to-stay-in-guy. I find it quite sad, but what to do. I enjoy it.

We had been havin workshops the last few days.. Something about Learnin Organisation and mental models. If u understand good. if not nvm. my lessons are gonna start on monday. I'm gonna work hard and get good grades for once. Since i've nothing to worry about now. I'm finally happy.

I know some older pilots and instructors from YFC and RSAF read my blog. Keep everything to urself. What i'm sayin here is not true to u all.

there are sometimes where u get the temptation to do things, so strong that u wanna do it, but u can't do it cos circumstances are different now.

I wanted to visit somebody's workplace but i held myself back.

i'm so proud of myself. Took only 2hr 8min from the KL checkpoint to the 2nd link checkpoint.

Dreams

They say u dream wierd things after close encounters.

I dreamt of things i really hated last night. Dreamt of what i fear most about someone.

Shockin Confessions

Drivin away from the mansion
We drove off in this order. Amos's Civic, Me Corolla, Ky Mercedes and KS lancer.

We were still in the private housin estate.

The Mercedes had KY and samuel. Amos's car had Sharon and him. I had Ryan and me. Ks has himself.

I took over the Civic. KY and Samuel counted 3 heads in Amos's car. They thought Ryan was on the Civic. They kept callin Amos. By then, my car was out of sight. Ryan was still next to me.


Peeing
I said excuse me b4 peein.

Ryan said he saw a white figure go past me on my left as i was peein.

Adventures of the Ghost Hunters - Sime Road

Sime road leads to a grave yard. The road in the grave yard was 1 car wide. We took a slow drive into the "real" grave yard. 3 cars made it feel all safe. Indeed, the road went a loop and we went out thru the same entrance.

There was a tiny road jus before the real graveyard. We decided to explore that. KS went in first. He stopped. He was talkin to Amos who was in the car behind me. I stopped the car between them. We were still near the "main" road. It seemed safe. I went out and pee. Something happened here.

We went on into the deep darkness. This road was more scary. The road wasn't as clear as the previous one. Tree branches stickin out, broken furnitures were everywhere.

Down the road, we saw something very freaky. There was a hut. There were about 10 motorbikes parked outside it. It looked so much like a cross breed between a haunted house and a illegal immigrant house. We took a slow drive past it and we came to a open space. We decided to turn around.

Adventures of the Ghost Hunters - Hillview

Last night at 2200hr, a bunch of us (KY, KS, Samuel, Amos, Ryan n Amos frien Sharon) decided to be a little adventurous. We decided to visit an empty mansion on top of Hillview.

We arrived at 2300hr. There was a very very steep slope up to a hill where the mansion was supposed to be. We parked at the foot of the hill. The slope was about 50m long and it was the steepest slope i've ever seen in Singapore. At the gate, lookin into it, all u can see was darkness. The mansion was apparently so deep in that u can't see it from where we were.

I regretted agreein to go there. It looked so movie like. Those movie where a bunch of curious people checks out a haunted mansion. Curiosity kills the cat.

There was a little openin at the side of the house and we went into the drive way thru that openin. Even then, from there in the darkess, we could not see what was at the end of the driveway.

We took a slow walk up the drive way. What felt like 100 m up that still steep drive way, we went round a 180degree bend in the drive way, that continues up the hill. The bend overlooks the night view of hillview. There was confort in the tense atmosphere we found ourselves in.

It was uphill another 100m before we found the mansion. Luckily for me, there was not much walls around. Apparantly the walls were removed. There was a drive in where the shelter has collapsed. Many of the foils that lined the roof had fallen and were hangin like dead bodies.

Anyone wants to go down? I asked. Well.. Perhaps only Sharon was the only one who was so tempted to turn around with me. We were to go into the house and up the famous spiral stairs.

There was a spiral stairs after a 20m walk in thing. On the right was wat seemed to be a livin room where it overlooks hillview. There were many other empty rooms that seem insignificant. We went up to the 2nd level. The large spiral stairs led us to the 2nd level, where there was a even more clastrophobic metal spiral stairway that leads on to who knows where. Some previous hunters wrote words like "Stairway to hell". I saw it but i didn't want to think much about it. There were about 3 rooms. One of the rooms had a balcony. It overlooked hillview again. I tell, Hillview was a good view.

And so we wend up the tiny stairs. It didn't look safe and structually stable. So we went up in 2s. The vibrations on the stairs produced spooky sounds. At the top, there was nothing but another balcony with the same view. Out there there was an outdoor stairs, spiral again to a tiny look out point, about 2x2m. Up there, the view was nothing we wound have expected. With bukit timah hill lights behind us, we looked down at the night sky.

Up there, we opened our drinks and started listenin to the story of the house.

A rich man built the house. Her wife was pragnent. One day, the wife fell down one of the stairs (not surprisin) and had a miscarriage. From that day on, many wierd events occured and the couple moved out. The only reason the house is not sold yet is cos the owner still owns the house. It is said the baby girl that died in the miscarriage still haunts the house. Most people has seen it before.

Well. We still have to get out of the house. But we did it uneventfully. Thankfully.

Back at the entrance, we noticed a basement thingy. It looked like a bomb shelter, a bunker where british soldiers fired at enemies. It looked so totally freaky. There were stairs that seem to lead to something deep down beneath the buildin. Stupid KY led us into it.

It was a big open space in the bunker. There was a toilet at the bottom of the bunker, and the bunker actually looked like a theatre. The original owner must be some rich bastard with alot of taste for romance and balconies.

We went up the stairs to get out of the place. That was when 3 people xperienced something.

Outside, the 3 made their confessions. Ryan felt chills and his hair was standin on ends at the point where we went up on the stairs.

KY saw a white figure at the point where we went up on the stairs.

Samuel saw a shadow at the point where we went up on the stairs.

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day i'm loving you more than this
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

I'll sing it alone. Thanks.

Road trip!

A few of us decided that we should drive up to malaysia for jus one day for sea food. Well i planned it to move off at 3pm. KY and guys had wakeboardin till 3.. so i set the time at 4pm.. and so i picked ky up at sembawang and the rest went off to get their stuff from home. Ky house was supposed to become the meetin point.

So we waited and waited at KY's house till fuckin 1730.. lol.. so damn late already.. so we made our way to 2nd link and went thru.

We were to to to Kecup.. the southern most tip of malaysia. On the map, its only about 20 km away from the cause way. but in truth, the 2nd link and the place we were going was separated by a river, that runs about 40 km... so yes.. 40 km up to the top and back down to so damn near singapore.

We went into the highway.. it looked like we joined a highway.. so all the cars on the outer 2 lanes were so slow, we decided to go onto the inner lanes.. (4 lanes all together) than suddenly as we were goin round a bend, 2 protons suddenly appeared headin towards us.. man. Ryan said i brought us into near death, huson said my reflexes saved the car. I was fast enough to go back to our lane..

As we went further down, some of us had doubts cos the road seemed too far away and the roads were not litted. We decided to go to Pontian and then decide wat to do next. We were in this road that ran for wat felt like 30km unlitted and had many pot holes.. But well after we turned out of that road it was betta.

Well so at pontian we had a discussion by the road. Amos said we should go. KS said we sbould go back. But the rest wanted to go. So we went on the nxt 30km. Than as i was drivin, i suddenly realised we have another problem. How do we find the restaurant if everyone's asleep. It was alreaddy 2030. But hack it.

The road brought us to a dead end. Great.. But look around us. ALL the restaurants were around us at the end. A police station greeted us at the end of the road by the way. haha can u believe how relieved i was? i couldn't possibly bring this bunch of guys to a dead end after drivin so far right.

We had dinner, and it cost us 200 ringgit for 7 people. about 15 singapore per person.

And so the rest of the journey involved followin the 2nd link signs all over the place. We stopped at the petrol kiosk and topped up full tank. A bunch of kids did it for us. I paid them the exact ammount and they were like loookin at me, hintin for tips i guess.. so i gave them 10 ringgit. they all stared at me. Was it too much? or too little. Ryan said it was alot. ok fine..

We ran into one of those burger stands and we stiopped by to buy some famous malaysia burgers..

And well.. it was uneventful for the rest of the jouirney. Jus that it was so damn scary along the unlitted road. Turn off the head lights and i swear u can't see what is infront of u.

And over at singapore side,we did a mid-drivin transfer of ryan's passport. at 100km/h.. well... i'm jus lazy to say everything.. so i shall jus say these.. kk gd night

It was just one year ago that i was first introduced into the world of the Commandos. Thinking back, I didn't have a very good first day back then in Hendon.

Right smack in the morning, I had to leave home for Hendon. Luckily Sarah was nice enough to come over early in the morning to follow us to my journey to hell. Well what ever it is, it is my one year anniversary since i last stepped into that place.

And how life is so different from last year now. And on top of that, I can take out my P plate out of the car already haha

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that nieve
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm more than a birdaaI'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see

It may sound absurdaabut don't be nieve
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbedaabut won't you conceed
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me

Up, up and awayaaaway from me
It's all rightaaYou can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazyaaor anythingaa

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that nieve
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It's not easy to be me.

i did track today. for my first time..

Yesterday, they asked me wat was my timing for 400m in a meetin. I said 65s. They said "THink u should qualify". Today i ran a 64s and i didn't qualify.

Straight after that, they did the 800m heats 1. Heats 2 was my heats. I could not even walk. Ok. I just ran. I ran a 3m11s. My 1 km timing is 3m20s. I bet i could have done a 2m20s if i didn't run a 400m b4 that.. lol.. oh.. and they had some cock up in their runnning lanes and i effectively ran 10m longer than everyone else. I was on lane 5, the outer most runner. It was supposed to be "after the first hundred, cut to the first lane" but we did a "after 500m cut into the first lane". Butthat 10m wouldn't have made a diff cos i was so fuckin far behind.

And for the first time i experienced what i thought was only possible on the plane doing aero-batics. I had tunnel vision on the 550m markl TUnnel vision was an experience where your outer most vision starts to black out and slowly moves towards the center, where u lose ur vision.. cos of lack of blood when all rushes to ur legs, on the plane.. guess i had not enough O2 when i was runnin.

S280 - HUGE!!!

Drove Sarah's S280 today. Compared to camerys and ciferos and kwanyi's e240, this S280 is like a huge jumbo jet!!

Driving that car to Gardens felt like i was a piper pilot? forced to fly a Boeing 777 to Changi Airport and expected to do it without damaging it? man the experience is so damn different. U guys have to "fly" it to believe it..

Well.. i dun really understand wat i jus said too.. haha good ngiht guys..

Hawkers

Just found out today that my dad pays $16000 a month on rent, on one drink stall. How the hell does he make back all the money? the rent, the pay, the electricity...

Well u will stop wondering once u know he makes $2000 every morning. And $1500 after that, on normal days. So on Saturday and Sundays.... well.. i wonder too..

3500x30 will come up to $105000.. So 16000 goes to rent, 40000 goes to the drinks (they make about 60 cents per $1 drink) and maybe about 10000 goes to workers? That comes up to about $40000 for himself..

Forget CEOs and Directors. Even pilots in the RSAF don't come close to that amount. Stop lookin down on that sweaty old man that fries kway teow every single moment of his life. He is freakin richer than most of u all. They just don't have the time to pemper them selves.

WHERE WERE ALL THE BUSES?

THE TWIST

Just a little update to the "STOLEN WALLET" story, there was a dramatic twist to the story.. whoops.. haha sorry took so long to blog it out..

Well. the very nxt day, i took mC and went about driving around getting my stuff replaced.. Went to Jurong PT OCBC bank, wanted to get a replaced ATM card. The process was going on well, and i was using my PASSport, Until the supervisor, some ugly auntie came by and said my passport was expired, can't use.. THan i went on arguing with them.

"Why must the passport be updated?"

"Sorry we can't accept it"

"THe EXPIRED passport does proves that i am ME right?"

"Sorry we can't do it."

As i walked to the carpark, i was callin OCBC customer service to verify wat that auntie did. Well, wat she did was right, but i dunno why isit right.

SO i went to levander to do my passport, without my IC. after spending 15 mins lookin for a parkin lot, i went to the counter to find that i can't get my Passport updated w/o IC. FUCK...

Tried my luck again at OCBC orchard. I needed my atm card urgently cos i was low on fuel and i had no cash to pay for replacement fees of the SIm card and petrol and IC and alot of stufff..

I faked my way thru at Orchard. LOL thank god. i got my CARD

I went to star hub and got my sim card w/o any further disturbance.

BUT WHEN I WENT HOME, i opened my letter box,

"TA MA DA!!!!!" I saw my wallet and phone inside, not a single cent missing.

That concludes my lost wallet story.
