i passed my medical! of course… if you are reading this you probably already know. Well, today the marksman not around (she always arrow me!) then i very free and easy not much work. Found that doing sentry can chat on palmtop also… hahah… wonders of gprs. Too bad its infrared connection, requires line of sight to operate. If i had money to burn, i’d get bluetooth for my next palm. haha… but thats somewhat like a new way to waste money. So i guess i won’t be doing something like that, stick to my clie710…

So dumb today, in the end the last guy no fly… just went there, watched “the twins effect” then grabbed a free lunch before leaving for home. Went to sim lim to look around in the afternoon and bumped into sec sch fren who also trying for pilot. He going australia next friday leh… said medical results need one mth to release. In the mean time.. i guess ill be at afrc again… doing sai kang for ppl who don’t even know wad they are asking us to do.
Got this nagging sian feeling i can’t shake off for the past few days already, then ppl still wanna come push my buttons. No, its not a saturday trend, i wasn’t the one to say anything first anyway. Maybe its a trend for you to come bother me on saturday. You say stupid things all the time… i somehow can’t get used to it. Anyway… even if it is a saturday thing, I guess i did the right thing and shut the noise up then? Well then…
Lalala… end of another week, So fast… I really think i’ll be in sispec real soon cos don’t think the medical can make it thru.

Finished YFC attachment so fast… it was for the most part, a royal waste of time. Stay there rotting for 2 weeks to fly 3 hrs… today watched a slew of dvds. wah lau, ju-on is a freaking scary show man… the small powder-bath kid(as we call him cos he looks like he’s taken a powder bath…), that funny crawling woman and that weird sound she makes…. eeee.
Anyway today some guy take mc then he left one sortie. Then the whole lot must turn up tomolo and rot with him there… actually we would have gotten a day off! argh!!! stupid… sigh, wanted to sleep late. Maybe consider taking mc next tuesday go see syf… but i’ve nvr done that before leh, sommore must report to medical centre at cmpb then cannot fake the mo there. sigh… This is lame. Well, i’m going for medical on monday… passed interview on wed. Hoping not to get chopped yet… not so soon… i wanna go australia! haah… i really do… well, i go bathe and wash up now… nvr do anything also so sticky.

Wah…………. today go for my second sortie. On the way up turn here turn there then experienced disorientation… its… weird. You feel… disorientated? haha… lame… but serious man, i din know wads going on or which way was up. Feeling went away after some time… but later it was more intense man, did some tight turns… feel like my face drooping down cos of the g force…and its not even very high yet. My instructor stall the engine give me see… then the plane started dropping like a rock… Body seized up and cannot breathe for as long as it was falling man. Face was probably contorted… corner of my eye can see the instructor sort of look at me (well… like “hmm… I think he cannot make it already”) just as i felt like i was gonna snap my back cos of that seizure feeling, he started the engine up and went in for a landing… Instructor started laughing after seeing my face man… then after that Some dope was taking his time to take off on that runway so just before hitting the ground, he had to pull up like siao… “nnnnngggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh—–ahhhhh………..” feeling fine aren’t we? haha.. went for a small circle wait for other plane to take off… then went in for landing. Well… after that head feels shaken… like that time i had the pillow fight in bmt got-hit-in-the-head-many-many-times-until-gong-already feeling. Well… you’ll have to try it to know… quite shiok but uh…. give me some time recover first then i’ll try it again.
Well… tomolo got interview board then got to answer questions “correctly” sigh…. i dun think i’ll make it thru… make it thru also still got medical. i’m destined to go sispec! argh… took out webbing helmet sun sun yesterday… don’t want it to have mouldy smell when i do put it on again. lalala… I sort of think its fun to be a garang soldier suddenly, but nevertheless, i still remember how jialat it is sometimes. i’ll not forget… The grass may look greener on the other side now (wait…. this side got no grass! haha…), but i know its not.

Ho hum…. my one and only off day was completely wasted. Got up at 1300 cos slept at 0330 last night… can’t really remember wad happen yesterday already. Sigh, relationshpis are weird things, or shld say, non-relationships are weird things when they are finally defined. One week of quiet. Don’t know if it’ll make a diff yet. What if it doesn’t? haha… that’ll be a moment of truth. Sigh… at least you have no comp to read this eh? Safe to say.
My my, thankful for another quiet day… i hate being in the army…

Today was interesting… managed to burst my tire for the 3rd time. Heng managed to come back before it dieded… well well, i hope all’s well with everyone. I’m having a slack time at YFC. today got off at 1430, no flights then just moulder away in a dark corner of the yfc building with 5 other guys and a blaring radio. You sort of realise the importance of having things to do when you are so idle. Must say the time passes even faster lidat though… in the office its just snailing along…
I’ve got so many repressed thoughts that you’ll never see on this blog. Isn’t it fine that this is such an open place everyone can read? Subtle personal attacks work so well here cos nobody can reply… even the tag board i can magically erase ramblings i do not like that tear me down, but nooo…. i’m sure nobody would stoop so low as to use this as a medium of delivering poison to the mind…
…Right? *cynical laugh*
oh the irony…
