31st May

So today is 31st May,
it's my dear elder sister's birthday!
Here I must dedicate this post to her
for all undivided support that she has been giving me.
Being the eldest of three children, she had been playing her role well
guarding us whenever our parents were not at home
until we all grew up and managed to take good care of ourselves.
I don't know how my other family members think about her,
but I feel great and blessed to be her cute little brother :P
Happy birthday, stay healthy and pretty, 大姐!


Okay! Talk about training.
My batch will be departing for Terengganu detachment in a few hours!
It's the decision of Chief Instructor. Now only expedite us but it's better than none :(
According to his plan, we're to complete single engine flying by mid September
so that we could proceed with twin engine flying and graduate on time.
I don't know if the plan will work, let's see what will happen there,
what I'm pretty sure is that we'll have minimum rest time
in Terengganu to catch up with the progress.


A friend of mine had a friendship problem recently.
I told her, backstabbers are everywhere,
it's nothing and it's normal in a big company like ours.
Sometimes, unconsciously, we even become one of them.
Dealing with them, there's one thing I've learned,
they are only powerful when your back is turned.
So why should we let them control so much of our mind?
You and me actually know who to keep in touch with
and who to keep away from one day.

Just a smile.

Flying or Friends?

I felt so astounded and unpleasant that
those people gave you a response
like "What?? Why we cannot fly???"
instead of showing their concern about their friends' safety
after something unhappy happened.

Flying or friends?
Of course the latter!

Going to read up the emergency procedures and
make sure that it's always remained current in my head.
Navigation 2 was done yesterday. Waiting for RT test now
so that I could proceed with the Navigation solo check.
Heard some rumours recently, good and bad,
I just hope that everything's alright and
the progress won't get any slower.


I want to see you keep a smile on your face everyday
and it's true.

A man of contradictions

I want to be the best at everything

yet I'm afraid of failure at times.

I want to keep a low profile

yet I hope people think I'm great.

I want to have character and style

yet I'm lazy to make some changes.

I want to make more awesome friends

yet I'm not going to open my heart.

I want to get more readers here

yet I don't feel like sharing the link out.

I want to tell her how beautiful she is

yet I seriously lack of some courages. 
I want to get some attention
yet I don't want to be friendzoned.

I suppose the saying's right,

life is never free of contradictions,

that's what makes our behaviour 

so maddening and yet so fascinating. 

Went swimming with Alex at Renaissance at night just now.
We also didn't forget to enjoy the Jacuzzi and Sauna
before leaving for dinner at the Mat Spicy House.
Maybe I would blog about it when we go next time.
It was a great swimming session anyway.

Okay. I'll end this post here.
It's half past two in the morning.
Sigh. Maybe the night owl is me instead.
I want to go back to KL and this impulsion is getting stronger
day by day together with my mixed feelings here.

Two more.

Exam week is done!
I have two remaining papers
but at least I could temporarily say good bye
to those thick books and test preps until June.

Performance: 90
Mass and Balance: Congratulations
Operational Procedures: Congratulations

Results were good, I only regret that
Performance didn't come up to my expectations
because I was confident in the theory part,
maybe I tabulated one of the graphs wrong.
(Performance is a subject about airplane performance)
Anyway, to my surprise, I found myself enjoying
the group study with my batch mates this time.
I'm not trying to take credit for their success
but sharing knowledge with them and
seeing them pass the exams did bring me some satisfaction.

Okay, let the past be the past.
I have to concentrate more on flying
and boost my flying hours from now on
to graduate from this place as soon as possible!

I don't stay up for no reason.
I don't stalk for no reason.
Even though sometimes there's no reason.

My most important woman.

I have a great mother and I love her
for everything that she has done for our family.
No one could replace her, no one.

Wanted to tell mum that how much I love her on phone at first,
I ended up only texting and wishing her through Wechat
because I was too embarrassed. Standard. Can't shake off my shyness
even when I was with the closest one.
Mum always says that's why I can't approach others
but she doesn't know that I'm actually learning to open my heart now.

Happy Mother's Day, to all mothers in the world.

Zombie

I'm actually feeling like a zombie now
after staying up the whole night to study
but still I came to the hangar
by taking 06:30am bus because
I was assigned as the duty cadet of the day
to do the morning brief even though
there's no any serviceable aircraft today.
Seriously, I'm not sure if it's considered lucky or not,
at least I have a valid reason to cancel my sortie
in exchange for a good rest.

(By the way, what a duty cadet needs to do
are to brief all flying cadets and duty instructor
about the actual weather report, terminal aerodrome forecast,
remaining aircraft hours, some part of SOP as well as emergency checklist
and the last job is to do a time check synchronised with the air traffic control's time.)

I swear I'm not going to stay up late anymore
after I finish all ground paper examinations by June.
My sleeping habit has been terribly messed up recently.
causing me to have insomnia almost every night,
playing lullabies didn't even help much.
It's a nightmare for those who usually
enjoy sleeping and dreaming :(

Anyway, I gotta go catch some sleep
at the cadet waiting room now.
Here are some pictures which I have just taken.
Good morning. Greetings from APFT hangar.

Just a beautiful and stunning view to welcome me back to hangar in the early morning!

The sky overhead the other side of the airfield.

Best view for a 360 panorama effect!

No aircraft. A tech log and authorisation sheet for each aircraft

should be on the table if there's any serviceable aircraft ready to fly.

Goyang kaki while chatting with my friend on Facebook.

Testing 123. See the reflection in the water?

ASIAN EXPRESS 6430. 

Travelled on this aircraft once.

Updated at 3:30pm*

A few aircraft were released for service

but my solo sortie was not flown due to 

flying repriortised to those AFI.

Another unproductive day at the hangar.

:)

Love Somebody

Have been playing this song over and over
since I woke up yesterday.(Yes, it's yesterday
because it's half past one in the morning now)
Anyway, like all previous posts which I have published recently,
this post has no any special hidden meaning
but I just want to note down my feelings
and say how much I'm in love with this song now.
Maroon 5 never disappoint me.
The only wrong is that they don't have an official video
for this wonderful song on YouTube yet.

Sometimes, the lyrics and the meaning don't matter,
the song just haunts you for months,
it's the same with how you can't get your crush out of your head.
Pictures or words, I just want to do some recordings,
keep track of my moods or perhaps
let someone know something that I might not want to tell her/him directly.

I really wanna love somebody

I really wanna dance the night away

Hopefully there's no another round.

Hot weather

The weather's so hot and suffocating here recently until

I become so lazy to do any outdoor activities when I'm not flying. 

There's also a piece of advice of mine to my friends, 

exercising in this weather puts extra stress on your body 

and pushes the body temperature even higher 

if you don't take extra precautions.

Just drink more water and take good care of yourself.

You wouldn't want to get sick and make people around you worried.
