"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:
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.
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:
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!!
me and Jason, my first instructor!
Dave and Cam put it on for me.... haha
Maybe I have got too used to waking up early, this morning, i woke up at 2am. Stunned, that was without alarm. I saw the reflection from the mirror, the tree out there was shaking vigorously and that implied strong wind which is not good for flying. Nevertheless, I continued sleeping while waiting for my 4am alarm.
"tang tang tang........." my alarm rang. Before my eyes could be opened widely, i saw the vague static reflection of the trees... not really static but much steadier than the one i saw at 2 am. the wind can dies off within 2 hours.... unpredictable.
Wind was showing 8 knots when i got to school, full headwind. I went up in that condition. Within an hour, it changed to 14 knots. Didn't really realise it in flight though. But I did notice the airspeed was much slower that more power is needed for the final approach. So by the time i reach back to ground, ATIS information changed to B, 320/14. and that implied I can't go solo because the upper limitation for solo is 8 knots of total wind.... However, I was somehow contented today because I have performed 4 smooth landings and good circuits up there. :)
After came back to ground, we were asked by our instructors to wash the aeroplane. yea, WASH the aeroplane. never experienced washing one even when i was a trainee aircraft engineer. It was great fun for 12 of us to wash one small aeroplane. haha. More like our playground than proper washing.... the result was satisfactory though. =)
Tonight!
wow, had an AWESOME dinner! Thanks Daniel Z's mum for cooking! Ayam masak merah and biriyani rice were served and I myself went for 2 rounds! SATISFACTION, do you know what that really means? stomach filled with good food!!
The night continued with CS lan party... again, another superb one.
and yeah, the new batch of cadets are arriving tomorrow morning. They should have already departed now from KL. Get to meet them soon..
Till then!
I'm having a bottle of beer... it's late at night. I am alone. It's dim, in this lonely and silent living room. They are all sleeping. I am tired but I'm resisting the temptation to go to bed. It feels so great to continue stay online at this hour. Abit crazy right? but yeah, it feels good.
We went to Southport today. Visited Australia Fair, a shopping mall which looked ugly from outside but beautiful inside. Nothng much there, just a shopping mall with more or less the style of The Curve back in PJ. Tired of shopping mall, i decided to check out the Broadwater which is said to be at the opposite of Australia Fair(wikipedia). So i went, and Dan and Hare came with me. The rest continued shopping.....
I wouldn't have called it a nice trip without a visit to the broadwater... The view is nice andmagnificent. I felt so comfortable there. The ships and yachts just appear at the place it should appear. The high rise buildings surround the broadwater. Q1 tower stood so firmly there. Seaworld can be clearly viewed from the broadwater. It's simply relaxing....
For dinner: I presented my virgin Chic-kut-teh.. haha.. it turns out not too bad for a dinner. haha. shall try again some other times again, with improvement of course.... =)
It has gotta be Chinese New Year for me to drink some soft drinks at this hour... Yea, i seldom touch soft drinks. I have been keeping myself from it apparently, just wouldn't want to get too involved with drinking soft drinks. Addiction isn't the greatest thing in the world to have. But then, I'm obsessed with coffee... hahaha
Back to what I wanna say, I am drinking Sprite at the moment. Not something common that i do. But then, can't resist to buy the sprite at a reduced price in Coles the other day. paying 50 cents for a can of sprite is irresistable. So we bought 2 boxes and ended up with 48 cans to be shared by 3 of us. and that means we have got 16 cans per person. This is only my 3rd can. Told you I'm not really a soft drink person. and the reason behind drinking sprite now is that I don't have boiled water at the moment in this house. Cooling is in the process, another 15 minutes till my cooled boiled water is ready.
And the following happened from 6 am in the morning today:
"mate, we will jump in the aircraft when the clock shows 615."
"yea sure."
615:
"ready to go?"
620: in the aircraft...
*flow checks*
.
.
.
.
630:
"Juliet foxtrot romeo, dual, received sierra, request taxi"
"Juliet foxtrot romeo taxi to holding point foxtrot runway32, cross runway35."
"taxi to holding point foxtrot runway32, cross runway35, juliet foxtrot romeo."
.
.
.
.
.
*taxi checks*
*engine run-up checks*
*before take off checks*
640:
"mate, I don't think the weather is in favour of you, I am going to request taxi back to GA."
so,
"Gold coast ground, juliet foxtrot romeo requests taxi back to GA due to unsuitable weather."
and
650:
Back in school. and stayed until 3pm.
basically, i have been awake for 18 hours today. ......
