Stanthorpe

3 days 2 nights Stanthorpe trip is over in a blink of eyes. We had so much fun in and out of the mansion. I don't know why i missed a shot at the mansion while i took a whole lot of photos.... the mansion, an interesting story. it is in the middle of nowhere, very isolated with no civilisation around. However, the furnishing was so awesome, we have got swimming pool, spa, sauna, steam room, tennis court, snooker table, wii, theatre room etc etc.

I have that eerie feeling when I first saw the mansion. I have watched a lot of movies showing a whole group of youngsters going to a castle sorta stuffs with great interiors but ended up in a haunted house. hahaha.... that is the feeling i had. LOL. anyway, it ended up fine and I'm back at gold coast. It was a nice trip. haha, I might wanna go again. There are some stories here and there from my friends though. Thank god I didn't encounter any. LOL.

It was a 4-hour drive from Gold Coast to Stanthorpe. The scenery was quite nice along the road. We saw the white and black cow which always featured in the Fernleaf commercial. Some of them saw kangaroo and kaola bear but i didnt managed to spot that. and hehe, we stopped at this Moogerah Dam for a short rest after 2 hours of driving. It was nice and worthed our stop there! But it rained half way when we haven't finished visiting. We were all wet. A good start though to our trip. haha






Pool volley ball, spa, tennis, POKER and all sort of games go on in the mansion. Laughter and screaming here and there.

And this one down here is the liqueurs factory. They sell real good liqueurs. They offer free tasting and of course we took advanctage of that to taste as much as we can. hehe *evil laughter* I have bought a bottle home which cost me $25.. pretty cheap i think.





Look at the variety of the liqueurs. Insanely many.

Read this sign board:

Matt brought us to this intelligent park where we have to find clues in the maze which is built with bushes. They provide us with a lot of intelligent toys too. i have completed only one of them haha. Had fun in it.

We were supposed to head to the greatest lookout point in QLD which is the Governor's Lookout point on our way back home. We actually tracked up the half slippery muddy road until we decided it was not a good day to track up there. It started raining by then. It gets dangerous. Glad that we got down and turn back. haha. But i will definately want another go at that.

We have got some fresh Strawberries, peaches, plum and nectarines direct from the farm too.... wahaha

Longing for another long trip. haha

家

细雨绵绵，

一杯热咖啡乌，

看着乌云漂浮在天上。。。

冷风习习，

树叶随风飘舞，

感受风儿吹在我脸上。。。

星期天里，

巧遇这种天气，

熟悉的感觉涌然而现。。。

我看着天，

风吹着脸，

勾起了对家的思念。。

我誓了言，

捧着信念，

期待着回家的明年。。

家，啊，家。。。

处在千万里之外，

家，啊，家。。。

等着我凯旋归来！

3 months

it has been 3 months. Not long but not too short either. My friends are going home next week. Yea, next week is my holiday. 1 week. ONLY. Not going to go home. It costs too much to go home. I started to miss home already. Never really been away from home for such a long time. The longest was 1 month i think before i came here. I have been to quite a lot of places, did quite a lot of things. These 3 months was short but it was packed. Learning has never stopped. Flying, cooking, budgeting etc etc.

My perspective of life haven't really changed so far. haha. Just for the time being I have better exposure of what kind of world exists out of Malaysia. Obviously, I have never been out of Malaysia. This is my first time and it will be for quite long(at least another 9 months here). Slowly and steadily being groomed to be a successful pilot. Indeed, it's very enjoyable. I met a lot of people. Great people. There are so much that I can learn from them. Everyone has their own strength, and this is where good team work comes into place. Flying has never seemes so near to me.

When it is so near to me, I will continue my battle here, for my prosperous future and in realising my piloting dream...

"You can't be doing smooth and well in everything, but you can devote your best effort..."

That is a quote from an email i received from a friend.

Questions to myself:

1. have i devoted my best effort?
2. will i devote my best effort?
3. how devoted will i be?

Motivation and enthusiasm shall continuosly dancing in my head.

My promise to myself: to give in 100% of what i could to achieve what is meant to be achieved.

lazy day, lazy post

Will I sit back and relax at home for this saturday? haha. I am at home now. It's another type of enjoyment when I feel like doing nothing, going nowhere and just sit down rest and relax.

For yesterday this is the definition of great day:

Great day = second solo + off day for the rest of the day + nasi lemak

Today is such a lazy day. I actually slept off half way writing this post. wow. It feels great. I can still feel my saliva around my mouth.. haha.

The wind is so strong out there. Trees wave non-stop. Guess it is around 14 knots of wind? wild guess. haha.

arhh.... i think i have much more to do rather than just lazing around? haha. at this instant i just forget about anything else and yea, I AM LAZING AROUND!

Flights were cancelled for 3 consecutive days. This is not a complaint but just an expression of disappointment over waking up early(4am) in the morning and knowingly not gonna fly but still have to go to school. yea.

I shall see if i can fly tomorrow morning. Wind is forecasted at 8 knots, which is the upper limit of my flight. if it goes any stronger, I am not flying. We are granted a day off after our flights and de-brief. If mine is cancelled, I will have the whole day off mate! But I hope to fly though. haha.

Shit, I am craving for petai. I keep thinking of petai, hoping that my parents will come over here and tabao some home-cooked udang masak petai for me..... stop thinking stop thinking. I am going to have ABC soup tonight. It smells good already, it will be ready in a short while. =D

... petai... T_T

I am here for 2 and a half month already. It feels so long already. I always thought I was here for nearly half a year already. but, 2 months. Only 2 and a half months. Life is going to be tougher next year. Much busier I reckon. What I do now everyday until Christmas is to go to school every morning, prepare for my flight(if weather is ok) and just sit down there doing nothing until 3pm(kononnya self study).... =.= So basically, I waste around 10 hours per day. Shall ensure myself do something productive in the upcoming 3 weeks...

Shall think of weekend's plan already. wahahaha!!
