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....

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..
