30th january 2010

the last day of january 2010 is approaching. a month, is really that short. it was not too long ago when we were watching the fireworks for the new year celebration. and now, almost 8%of 2010 has gone... time passed so fast, i hope miy training goes as fast. =) am anticipating for my first navigation exercise. cross country. yay! i have calculated today, there would be no more than 20 dual flight until my i get my cpl... the rest of it would be my command time. I'm really really looking forward to long haul navigation flight. although i know it will be very tiring and that also means pain to my ears. apparently my headset isn't good enough to attenuate all the noise. who can sponsor me a new headset?

GFPT

Andy and Bashir are "band-hero"ing... my throat is tired after singing so many songs... LOL and failed some of the songs. =.=" My voice is changing... haha

Great fun. More people were supposed to be here, but due to the deterioration of weather ie thunderstorm they didn't make it here.

was awake since 3:50am. been through one whole tiring and scary but happy day! I have passed my GFPT! that is something to be bragged about i think. at least the first license in aviation. haha. I got one golden wing on my uniform now! hehe...

Didn't really celebrate it. Had one simple dinner at kfc with friends after cycling... and that's about it for today.

It's reaching the peak of the summer now. The day gets shorter and the morning is a little bit cooler. It's HOT! oh dear.

I am now anticipating for the upcoming autumn where the temperature will be much lower. I shall see what's the difference. I haven't been in autumn before. 4 seasons, i have tried 2. another 2 are yet to come.

Away from home for chinese new year this year. It would be a very different one i think. In less than a month time. All the cookies and stuffs aren't here. There is no indication that cny is approaching. Unlike in Malaysia. However, I still put CNY song as my ring tone. haha. remind myself of the upcoming cny. LOL.

It had been so long since i last buried my head into a book. I am doing it now. and tomorrow. and another 2 more days.

Next week is a BIG week. I hope everything will go well. I believe it will. =D

Un-prepared flight

11:45 i was playing flight simulator with the half-spoiled rudder controller in school, being unable to control the aircraft satisfactorily, it somehow made me sick of the thing, a little bit of airsick feeling. i tried to calibrate the controller but failed.

12:15 still at the flight sim computer trying to figure out what could be done. suddenly Andy(the instructor) came to me and asked me to fly. stunned. flying? My flight was actually cancelled because the original instructor fell sick and it was supposed to be 4pm. and I was required to fly at 1.00pm. with 45 mins left, everything was somehow rushed. as I said, i was feeling a bit dizzy and doesn't feel like flying, somehow my instinct pushed me to it and asked me to fly, so I flew.

12:30 got load sheet and flight plan done. entered the briefing room for Prec Search short briefing.

12:45 pre-flight.

1:00 signed the dispatch and off I go.

Had a good flight today despite some hiccups here and there. Going solo again tomorrow! =)

一个人

四点多，知道明天是假日，家里一个人也没有。无所事事。毅然换了衣服，背着书包，装着水壶，带了头盔，搽了防晒霜，拿了钥匙就骑着脚踏车出游了！没去向，结果就往南部去了。

沿着海边，轮子转在石路上，迎面而来的风顿时让我轻松下来。蓝一般的海水触及浅色的天。礁石似盾般的强硬，抵挡海浪一次又一次的攻击。浪花击溅！多漂亮。

雄伟的Q1大厦耸立在在那远处一方，鹤立鸡群。但与碧海蓝天相比之下，再雄伟的他也会变得渺小无比。轮子继续奔走。。。

星期天，海边满满的都是人。一家大小出游的时间。好多好多的小孩在沙滩上奔跑，露出无邪可爱的笑容。多么灿烂！当眼神与行人们交触时不是一句问好就是一个微笑。去向还没定下，我继续走。。

一踩也就踩过了一些我熟悉的地方。之后的路皆一窍不通。我跟着心情抉择了去处。我往山上踩去。斜坡换来了腿上的‘累’水。我看见了灯塔，也见到了许愿池。环境的优美不在话下。心里好平静好平静。一个人也是一种另类的享受。

The feeling of away from home is really different. All I have is a bunch of friends instead of my family. We live like a family, really. Another 4 days will mark my 4 months and entering the fifth month here in Gold Coast. Reaching out to each other has never stop especially when shits happen. It does.

~to hold our hands together, to work towards the same goal,

to succeed as great pilots in the future~

Mess Tin

Have you wonder what mess tin can be used for apart from cooking during camping?

Mess tins do wonders. hahahahha. I brought 2 mess tins from my home in Malaysia.

And, they are used:-

• to cook rice
• to cook instant noodles
• to fry eggs
• to cook porridge
• to cook oat
• to cook potatoes
• as bowls
• as container in fridge

Basically you wouldn't need anything else but a mess tin when you have no other utensils to prepare your food. My mess tins have become the most utilised utensil in this house despite having so many pots and pans. LOL.
