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.

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!!!!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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.
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.
