Finally, the end of it all

The end of the first round of test and papers! Finally i can take a short break from muggin the papers and chill out alit. But the next round of papers will be coming in in a wk or soo.. but till then, its flight, maths and early nights for me!!

We were told not to horse around in an aircraft. But a fren of mine can't help but to do so and let us take a pic of him doing his pre-startup checks. Sat was the first offical rest day for us so in some good spirit, we went for some local dim sum on main street. Its not easy to find a decent dimsum place in Palmy. But the food that we have is not to bad for starters and kina remind me of dim sum with Sarah and Joel in Perth.
Joseph on the phone with his parents..
Like i said, its not the best comparing to Singapore dim sum but its the best around Palmy and it does bring back some food memories..

There after we went for a soccer match with the international african guys.. They are really good and have beat the school team in a soccer tornament. They speed was good, reflex was fast and shot was all on target! Damn their build are lean as well... But we manage to score a few goals before losing to them at the end of the day. My whole body was aching after the match but it was a good workout! More to come for the wks to come...

Dinner on sat was with Joseph's parents at a Korean BBQ rest. The food wasn`t too bad and the parents are really nice, they ordered soo much we thou there was another family coming in to join us! haha.. Joseph dad is a senior pilot in SIA and was from RSAF with the hunters.. Interesting ai...

Now its time to focus on flight and all and get the licence at the end of the year before flight back home hopefully... The wk have passed pretty well and flying in an aviation school is soo much more relax and soo much more time in hand then in a military flight! But NO compliants on being with the airfroce!

More updates to come my frens.. Juz miss you guys and have a wonderful time bros and sis! seeya ~@~

The wk of fun and flights..

The wk fo flight and fun was really juz flight and test... Had my first flight test out to the southern training area and back for some circuit work with the test instructor. He din really test me much on my training area work, not to sure why! I basically juz follow what he wan me to do and get it going! Did a hard landing, really not sure abt flight the piper warrior II at the point of time. The controls and the approach are really different from a S211 or CT-4B, thot i almost crash and burn when i pulled up hard then did a hard landing for a touch and go. damn... but there after the next landing was much better, at least i float cross the 500ft marker and touch at close to 1000ft marker.. Shit.. that wld be a fail landing for RSAF.. gona get some work done before getting back my basic!

Did my Air law test and it wasn`t that hard after all. Coming wk will be MET paper and Navigation on friday, thereafter, its party for the wkend and start studing again for more papers and flights.. Massey Uni School term is starting this coming wk where new students ar coming in for there studies and there is heaps of asian students. At least there are quite a few on the street during drinking nites..

Like i promised to post some photos.. here they are! This is a logo of Massey Uni on our planes.. Jack, I found this brand new drumset at cashconvertor.. it pretty good and clean! want me to send it back for you? haha..

and all it cost is ...Sat was the 18th Anniversary for the Harley Davidson's Owner club. Riders from around Palmy ride down for the event and their bikes were really really awesome looking! Its a culture for them and they are mostly called the cowboys on the iron horse! There were games for young and old and main event was co-ordination games for the riders and their passengers. Its really funny at how they ride down the lanes when their partner trys to place tennis balls on the cones or pegging up underwear on a clothe line.
This kina culture is worth to keep as most of them came down as a family where Dad and mom were on one bike and the children were either on the other or they drive down in their 4X4.
Coming wk, its back to Massey for some school wk and test, test and more test till i get home year end. Wondering hows things back home on the season of flowers and chocolates.. It wasn`t that big a deal here but there is some sort of celebration in town for it. Well, I'm juz praying hard that a better wk will come for the house, papers, flight and everything else! Till next time bros and sis back home.. Keep in touch and God bless mates!

Some random things for sleeping...

Something caught my eyes on TV earlier on after cooking up a meal and having some time off after dinner, we were surfing channels while a program came up and it was a show abt lesbian..

There was nude sence of sexual thing going on. Its juz talking about life of some lesbians in US and how tings turn out for them.. There after as we were turning to another channel, they were showing brokeback mountain! Damn.. Is it a sign for the kiwis to turn the other direction or someting?

Juz some food for thought before i head to bed.. Its currently 0030 in the morning and Singapore is 1930..

another wk have passed

Yet another wk have passed...

Have completed 2 papers soo far with average scores... Was never really good with written exams but at least its an 'A' grade! More to come in the following wk and shld be going up soon to do some flying. Kina missed the feeling of having control over the aircraft and njoying the view high up there. Too bad, i dun think i will be given any aerobatics rating for my studies here.. Too bad!

Have been settling in pretty well with my classmates and aviation mates.. Hav not seen the rest of the schoolmates as school term only starts on 28th Feb or so then there will be an orientation for all courses. Wonder if there are any hot asian gals or kiwis illege enough for a date.. haha...

Had a drink at "HighFlyers", one of the 'club' on main street on friday night with some of my mates and it was pretty good! Alit like zouk area concept but smaller and there was live band area in the courtyard and a chillout pool area where most of the older dudes will go there to bet on horse races or ani kind of bets. But the music was not to bad in the main room and girls to guys ratio was 3 girls to 1 guy.. around there lahz..

All these kina make me missed home! Clubbin down at zouk with friends or juz chilling out at cheezecake cafe with the brothers on sunday evening kina sounds good now. Well, I guess i will only know when i get home end of the year than..

Sorrie for texts as i have not really taken ani photos. Busi with my books and studies so kina left my camera in my bag. Well, will post more stuff next wk.. sorrie for the boring updates of things here. Life is kina slow down here with really nuthing much to do but to study..

Cheers mates..

First Wk of School

The first of school was pretty burn for me! Lecture from 0800 in the morning till 1700(5pm) in the evening. With 1 hour break for lunch at 1200 and the occassion tea break and toilet break in between. But the amount of notes given to us was like heaps to read and digest! Classmates were really from all over the world. And can you guys believe it, the 3 Singaporeans in the class are the oldest of them all and i`m the 2nd oldest! Damn..


Coming wk, there ar already 3 test paper coming in and follow wk is an exam for one of the modules.. The work is really never ending coming to flight school.


I really thank God for the experience i have from Airforce, at least most of the subject taught was like a revision for me. Except Air law which is heaps of reading to do and understand. From the expect of a passenger to the Director in CAA..


Been "cooking" quite alit here to cut cost and as a form of relaxation for me. There ar quite a number of supermarkets and butcher shops in town and off. Prices can sometime be alit higher than singapore, but when a man got to eat, he got to eat!


Got my car already for frens who wanna know! Its a pretty nice ride but kina need some work done up on it so i shall not post any photos of it till its done. But like i have said, Cars here are really cheap and not very well taken car of except for those "flash" cars that need see and be seen kina thing.


Shall keep you guys posted on things here as much as i can! Will post some photos next time round. See how things good.. Meanwhile, cheers mates to all of you back home and the season of spending time with that special someone is coming! Go out there and knock yourselves out with the spirit of flowers and chocolates. Take Care..
