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.

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!

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.

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~!
