The Flying Goggles

When The Lights Come On

2011-09-24T16:25:00.001+08:00

It's certainly been a while once again, but the air smells fresher, the coffee tastes better and you see more smiles at last.

The past few weeks have been nothing short of exciting, frustrating, and also fun. ESPECIALLY the longing for home cooked food!(: hahah. But I'll make do. Not that I'm complaining really.

Really do hope everyone's doing fine. Give me a shout out if I'm missed people!(:

physiology and soccer

2011-06-10T10:49:00.004+08:00

Life has been relatively interesting. Being deprived of oxygen deceiving your vestibular system proved to be more fun than expected. Next up! The human training centrifuge!!!!

I seem to lack sleep. No, make that plenty of sleep. Will fix that this weekend. And the girlfriend has been the sweetest thing, jean-phillipe macaroons, my favourite extra large packet of percy pigs(not the piglets) and all kinds of little treats.

But this has all taken its toll unfortunately. So, the coming week will be to make up for loss time, and for gained weight. Godspeed

guilty as charged.

throughout this absence i've had rather reasonable excuses, but now, i think it's time that i start appreciating the certain space i have here. and knowing at there would always be at LEAST two loyal readers. yes abang, you're one of them.

the whole time i have been away from here, i would occasionally feel a certain constraint in the freedom i have to make certain comments. for fear of being judged (who isn't), for fear of being charged (again who isn't) and for many other reasons i too am not sure of. but whatever it is, i am pretty positive that i have taken flying goggles for granted.

indeed it was how a weekend should be

2010-10-05T12:55:00.007+08:00

before i proceed i must thank my abang cong wen, for it seems he has been a loyal follower of this space (since he always pokes fun with relations to my posts hhahaha), but it's always nice to know that there are a few persons out there who would take or waste their time to read whatever's here. i like a small audience in this case. haha. and yes my dear, YOU're my biggest fan :D

so anyway the weekend was more than great, i mean bali's always pretty nice. but the itinerary lived up to it's hype and i definitely had my fair share of fun. white water rafting, bali treetop adventure and SURFING were the highlights and are certainly must tries if you ever head to bali i must say. can't wait for jonathan's adventure company to be up and running. i would love to call myself a loyal follower when the time comes!!

anywayyyy photos are a handful, quite actually. so all in due time. hopefully the girlfriend finds time to send them to me. that's if studying doesn't snatch her away!(:

the ladies behind me

2010-09-28T16:42:00.003+08:00

hahah. it's been terribly long and i must say i do not have an exceptionally good excuse for the absence. but then again, it's not like there are readers. i do hope i'm wrong. LOL.

was nudged into working in august and here i am back in an office environment slogging it out the data entry way! dang. thankfully time has passed fast enough for me to stop soon. really looking forward to the trip this thursday! not cause of the destination, but more of the activities lined up in the itinerary. if wifi's available i will try to post some pictures.

with approximately a month before i obediently serve my nation, i say i'm pretty game for it. being overly enthusiastic and prepared are seperate matters altogether, but i feel the wait has been too long to not feel either of the two. almost 9 months the wait has been!! omg. it's been really fast though, and i think the only regret i have is missing the opportunity to learn how to ride a motorcycle. HAH. doubt that would've materialised anyway.

and did i mention? THANK the heavens for the resumption of How I Met Your Mother, Gossip Girl and The Big Bang Theory!

doesn't get any better

2010-07-10T03:06:00.003+08:00

seriously, whoever (or whatever) is reading this space, take a look at this. i can almost swear i couldn't agree more. ok fine, i hereby swear it's just so true. REALLY!

world cup really kicks the ass out of the laziest craps in the world. or do they just stay home to watch on cable? anyway, all the late night matches have been absolutely worth catching and going "ooooh", "aahhhh", or even "GOALLLLL!!!" hasn't felt so good. i guess doing it only once every 4 years does make it worth while. GO SPAIN!

game on?

2010-07-02T01:49:00.004+08:00

life has been pretty much, well, exactly how it is. in other words; never predictable. but still we move on aye?

there's always something that'll cheer us up! or someone!

laugh. you need it

2010-06-15T10:37:00.003+08:00

sigh i miss this placeee.

but anyway, something fun for now. click on the pictures if you cant view them properly. blogger HAS to be problematic when it comes to resolutions. Enjoy!

shoot to thrill!

2010-05-09T23:46:00.004+08:00

caught iron man 2 last monday if my memory serves me rightly, and boy was it really really cool. i mean ok, it's (almost) every boy's fantasy to be like iron man. i mean, c'mon, cool suit, weapons, FLYING who doesn't right? but somehow i find the iron man franchise so far pretty realistic if i may say, like it isn't the fairytale story of a simple good-wins-bad-fullstop kinda thing you know? plus i had good company watching so perhaps that's a viewing enhancement! hahha.

on the topic of movies, watched ip man 2 too. and yes cool stuff as well. it's a shame there're gonna be a few movies who're gonna ride on the ip man franchise. different directors and different ip mans. weirddddd. whyyyyy. tony leung? SERIOUSLY!? hahah

new awesome song: THUNDERSTRUCK by AC/DC

check it out people!

OUT!

kick kick kick!

2010-04-27T20:26:00.010+08:00

feels good to be relaxing, just going with the flow. heading out for a swim be it day or night, going for a jog, or the gym, reading, watching some shows, seeing the lil ones and having nice and inexpensive meals. i'm pretty happy. seeing a coach makes it all so sweeet(: hahah.

well, being a male at this age, everyone's all about NS etc. seeing some guys getting their enlistment letter, ranging from may till august, makes me want to treasure the civilian life i have. i'm definitely not dreading to book into tekong (YET), but right now, i feel it's a wee bit too soon. i wanna hopefully do some stuff that i've listed down, and catch up with all those people whom i've been neglecting. just hope it all works out. BTW, haven't got it yet HA.

talking about friends, some close dude friend told me that "friends come and go". well, not that i do not know that it happens, but realising that it might be happening NOW is a bit disheartening don't you think? the consolation i can think about is knowing who the real ones are. life goes on!(:

where the light is

2010-04-26T10:20:00.003+08:00

I've always told abang that if i could, i would sit at the balcony outside my room and just strum away on a lazy afternoon. though that's just probably a fantasy, this guy (points to picture above) sure does it well. damn it, i was introduced to john mayer about 2 years ago, and the first song i heard was something i wasn't impressed with. the next song that came along was your "body is a wonderland", and i thought, 'hey, sounds pretty neat'. so i started listening to more tunes of his and i swear to god, i've been pretty hooked ever since.

BEST SONG OF ALL TIME: I DON'T NEED NO DOCTOR by JOHN MAYER, LIVE IN LA!

tried to put the video here but blogger has to be a bitch. but yeah, this song's so soulful, and really, cliche or not, this song freaking makes me feel good everytime. trumpet solo, sax solo and JM's solo (i like how he and i have the same initials). add in the awesome ending and BOOM! there you go, a work or art!(:

PLUS, who says this song isn't especially meaningful to me?(:

The yellow lines

2010-04-03T14:35:00.004+08:00

It's funny how some people can be so ridiculously inconsiderate. Though it shouldn't come as a surprise actually. Taking the mrt during peak periods can be really a hassle. Ok it IS a hassle. I, for the first time, witnessed (with the best view) the extremely unique behaviour of people boarding the train. First of, the LTA has painstakingly got contractors to paint pretty yellow lines that provide a very clear understanding of where to stand for commuters to wait at a diagonal side of the door so as to not block the commuters who are disembarking from the trains. However, we have a special breed who do not seem to be able to follow this simple procedure.

And here are the possible reasons that I can think of:
1) they really can't see it
2) they refuse to see it
3) they don't know where to stand even after seeing it
4) they refuse to stand where they're suppose to
5) they're all just plain outright retards
6) on top of either of the above points, they want to rush into the trains for a seat

All of these reasons are really sad. And the last one being the more obvious reason is extremely barbaric. I stood at the line with the intention of letting passengers come off the train first. This Malay lady came beside me. Stood in the middle of the doors, and shoved her way in when the doors opened. She went for the seats and god should everyone have seen her facial expression. She had this I-must-get-it look on her face the whole time, with her mouth opened and her eyes so wide, I could've sworn she looked like a dinosaur.

Coming from a society that stereotypes based on merit, awards and other non-characteristic attributes,boy do we have a long way to go.

the scent of familiarity

2010-04-01T11:59:00.003+08:00

there's someone sipping on a very aromatic cup of coffee, and it's highly distracting because I've just realised that the smell reminds me of being in foreign land. Be it cafes, hotel lounges, during breakfast, walking pass some random stranger with a cuppa warmly tucked in his palms on a chilly afternoon, and of course at night at the occasional diners where some people just need that kick to get them going. GAWD. WHY NOW? of all the places and time. noooooooooooo........

Ka boom!

2010-03-30T21:41:00.004+08:00

I don't like it when I'm in a position whereby I'm helpless. It feels really....degrading. Haha. Anyway, I'm probably gonna get back on track for my PPCDL. And hopefully (fingers crossed) I get it all settled before I serve my nation. Speaking about serving the nation, I somehow realise I've been speaking about it with so much gusto...... I wonder how many people are actually proud to serve their country. LOL! I shouldn't speak to soon I guess!

It's been such a long time since I've grabbed a book, be oh-so-obsessed and complete it with much satisfaction. I'm trying to read the five people you meet in heaven, and I'm pretty much on a roll!(:

Ok. Heading home now. In a bit.

who drew the circle around my name in my passport!

2010-03-26T02:16:00.004+08:00

going to malacca after a pretty long while, and frankly i can't remember much. LOL. I've been promised lots of amazing food and I'm both psyched and afraid of meeting these temptations. hahah. There'll always be setbacks for everything in life!

had dinner on monday at Perperoni Pizza (ok well actually L'estaminet Bar since both are owned by the same person and the bar closes later thus we were ushered to seats next door which still happened to be equally great) which is located at Hillcrest with the other half and boy do they have one of the best pizzas i've had. we had a 16" one if i'm not wrong, and we managed to have two halves of different flavours/types. one was some sorta steak with rocket leaves and the other was pepperoni i think. I THINK. but what ever, it was still really good. plus one fish and chips which reminded me fondly of london (miss that place so much). so yeah. great place. highly recommended. but that's if there're anyone reading this space. haha.

here's an interesting poster from L'estaminet Bar. Justification for the usage of a highly popular word. lovely.

reluctance

2010-03-16T21:13:00.005+08:00

I feel pretty lost. i mean i know my phone has a gps system(an awesome one) but I mean it in a abstract manner. but i don't really feel very comfortble, do you get it?

oh well, life still goes on yeah?(:

It's raining. Right now. I swear.

2010-03-10T01:29:00.005+08:00

I want my pancakes, just four, fresh from the pan, each with a generous spread of blueberry jam, little red scarlet jam, nutella and HONEY!!(: Since the last July, I've been very glad to say that I've had great help from SSSSSpongebob in making my dining experiences extremely comforting for my palate, thank you very much. Damn, I really pity all those who choose to painfully starve themselves. Yikes!

tonight what i want to devour is a succulent piece of ribeye steak, medium rare, with just the right amount of fats lining the outer edge. And to top it off, some mashed potatoes with special gravy in the middle......................

on second thought, a bowl of MAGGIE MEE would do just fine(:

at long last

2010-03-07T01:50:00.003+08:00

it has certainly been a while since the last time this space was even remotely touched, but due to certain requests made specifically to me, well, let's just say i'm a very nice person.

so let's see, we had:

- New Year
- Jeffy Boy's Birthday
- the 22nd of January(:
- Last day in school
- Chinese New Year
- Valentine's Day
- the 22nd of February(:
- and now

I guess saying i had a pretty good time would be a horrible understatement. there's probably nothing else that can leave you feeling nostalgic during festivities when you're surrounded by really good food, brilliant ideas, wonderful company of family and dearest friends, and just lots of heartwarming laughter(: I mean, we all may be in pursuit of each of our own aspirations, hopes, desires and needs, but at the end of the day we probably wouldn't be anywhere near where we are now if not for all the continuous support from our loved ones.

anyhow, there's this one thing that i want to talk about but i'm not sure if it's gonna be appropriate. taboo taboo indeed. HA

study hard(:

the time of the year.

2009-12-14T01:56:00.006+08:00

once more, we're all plagued by the festive mood, whether we like it or not, though actually acknowledging it is another matter altogether for different people. but who cares really. i enjoy it. i am and have always been. probably always will !(:

so time was pretty much spent releasing my materialistic desires into the enticing world of retail therapy considering that i've landed myself with a totally reliable shopping consultant with a good eye that i've found myself pretty much reliant to fall back on. HA. point to all, puma has this range of very light weight shoes with awesome colours. and i kinda feel they're multi purpose? go figure that part out yourself. sooooo as much as the crowds were a little of a put off, i guess awesome stuff made up for that huh. HAHA. and an end to the day like no other! woots!

did i mention that last sunday was really an under-rated blast! god, those involved in one way or another, i should've given my response by now so i'm leaving it at that. ROARRRR(((: do you agree when i say that feelings can also have the snowball effect. picture happiness starting as a small snowball and letting it roll down a never ending hill. what do you get at the never-end?

hahah. i thought so(:

I DON'T NEED NO DOCTOR!

the one with all the bits and pieces

2009-11-26T01:27:00.003+08:00

after such a terrifying break from this god forsaken place on the web, it kind of feels just right to be back here, right now

ever feel all fuzzy when someone made you happy? or have you ever felt that unexplainable sense of jubilation when you know you're behind someone's happiness? feels good aint it? and you know what's better? given the chance and opportunity to experience it over and over again. it's something one would not expect but that's what's the whole emotion is about. which brings me to surprises, and what it holds for the receiver. such widespread anticipation, just hanging in the balance, right in your face but not obvious enough to be noticed; it really is one of my favourite feelings, if i may put it that way. point to note, distinguishing surprises from shock. haha.

this 4 months have been really an awesome time for me. it's been pretty much a blur, but somehow an extremely vivid blur. every step and every moment so clearly panned out in my mind. it's probably a recollection that's actually enjoyable.

so people of the night/day, and who ever's reading this, take a moment once in a while, to relax. put on a good song. something that would help you recollect your thoughts, emotions, and most importantly your memories. for without them, we probably would be just empty shells, like robots roaming the earth.

good night(:

It's about time

2009-08-29T14:21:00.001+08:00

It's about time I say! Damn it's already the end of august, hopefully 6 more months is all that's left! With projects over three weeks ago, exams over just this Monday, I've had like the past 4 days of enjoyment and commitment purely for relaxation. And two more days stand before me before I join the so called "workforce" for the next 3 months for my internship!! Talking about that, just attended the briefing for the attachment phase and after seeing the many other companies other students are attached to, I guess I'm really in no position to complain. At all. Hahah beats the crap out of being at the zoo huh JIA PEI?!? Wahah.

Then again, last Saturday was just blissful really. I like surprises. Who doesn't? I mean something really good coming your way when you least expect it, that whole emotion just packs a punch really(: so yeah naturally SH was doing just that. Just plain awesome la! ROAR. And damn it, if this isn't pushing my creativity ttm, I dare not think what will!!

oh I think stuff from cortefiel are pretty sharp yet casual. Random? Not.

In a bit(:

2009-08-28T15:35:00.001+08:00

Hijffghht

The 3 days

2009-08-06T12:02:00.001+08:00

It's been a while. A month or so? I wouldn't say I'm horribly busy. More like terribly satisfyingly occupied. Yeap. That's it. Rather funky stuff.

So anyway, July has been full of excitement. In pretty much all sorts of ways. Like how NE has dissolved itself into smitterins. How I'm only left with 3 modules! Okay technically 4 but that bugger of a module will be down in just a bit. Do you realise I'm using awkward short sentances? Deal with it hahah. Doing this on a phone has it's down side I guess. Like having it appear all lengthy when it really isn't. Alright I have to stop this.

John Mayer has been a major star on my playlist of late. Check out his Where The Light Is DVD. Highly recommended audio pleasures. Fulfilling like a nice hot bowl of ramen on a cold winter night. Oh, the life.

oh yes dear

2009-06-28T03:52:00.003+08:00

now that i'm back, i feel really odd. like a gilded butterfly. i really dont know where to start to be honest, it's been a good trip, a relaxing break, but at the same time i'm really upbeat. hahhaha nonsensical eh?

london was really a joy, like non stop action. like walking along oxford street, regent street, carnaby street and covent garden. these are some shopping spots btw. really good. oh and shopping there is soooooo much better than our motherland, just because. not forgetting the usual sight seeing spots and all. and how could we really forget paris, the city of romance. honestly, i thought that it was overrated but after seeing how picturesque the city was, it's hard not to be converted. ahhh. tres bien!

photos and all are still being consolidated with the tang family, LOADS of them definitely. i really mean alot. HA. tata for now.

Day one

2009-06-15T06:58:00.001+08:00

Day one: it was like a gig, just so happening really. The trains are surprisingly comfortable, a tinge of familarity? I think the whole english architecture is pretty solid, like their residential areas are pretty neat (in whatever ways you can relate to).

With the likes of public bus no. 11, Westminister Abbey, Big Ben, London Eye, Trafalgar Square, Pret A Manger sandwiches, Liverpool Street, Tower Castle, Tower Bridge/new London Bridge (lol), Knightsbridge, HARRODS and fish n chips at a pub in Gloucester (good beer), I'd say that it's a pretty good day spent. Really looking forward to H&M, Oxford Street, Bond Street and what have you. I mean it's the whole shopping season right? Fine at least for me.

In case you're wondering how I got this up, well I'd like to thank apple for my iPhone that's for one. And the other for the wireless network I've managed to tap on. You won't believe what's the network name, " SingaporeVIP". Epic man. And wait till you hear the password. LOL.

Good night and sleep tight.

Here we go now

2009-06-13T06:15:00.001+08:00

All I can do is to just sit and give what I can. for now. Hang in there(:

Anyway it's freaking 6 and I've not slept a wink. Mum's still up though but all luggages have been packed and we are all set for SQ318! I just love how the egggcitement just cresendos into this huge ball of emotions. So powerful. Like the power rangers. MEGAZORDSS. oh what ever.

Like I said, is it possible to be so tired that you aren't anymore? And apparently I'm starving? At 6??? Watch it. Pedamundo

Haha now what.

2009-06-12T14:00:00.001+08:00

The past week has been filled with little sleep. But who am I to blame anyone? Hahaha.

I'm really getting pretty psyched for 1245 tmrw. I mean a380 man. It's been so long! And I'm looking forward to the weather there? It's sooo important.

Okay presentation now. In a bit.

Vroom vroom

2009-06-11T11:32:00.005+08:00

Another thing on track, driving!! Woo thank goodness. Four more lessons and I'm through to take my practical test, AND yesterday's ftt was.....lucky? But still, over and done with.

Projects are a chore at the moment, gotta settle them all by tmrw latest?! Arghhhhhh. But still worth it. Pret a manger!!!!! Sweet.

Occasionally we change upon certain moments when we are left feeling terribly confused. But what exactly can we learn? and how much? you tell me (: patience is certainly a freaking virtue (i hope).

oh, i realised that i've been using "but still" excessively. retard. ed.

Alas!

2009-06-11T04:42:00.001+08:00

Finally the trip looks so much more solid! Hotels and eurostar booked! Now what's left is the much anticiated itinerary!! Bigben, buckingham palace, thorpe park? Oxford street! Camden Market!! Omgg. Oh well. Better stop here, lest I be compared to a certain someone. Hahaha!

2009-06-10T18:34:00.001+08:00

Cool stuff. Found a cool app that allows me to blog on the go! Haha. Now scandalous news and gossips can be posted in real time!! Hmmm. This is so brain-less of me.

life and death

2009-06-10T11:28:00.002+08:00

the past week has been a series of ups and downs in general. Pre-u sem was a blast!! i mean like we all said, it's probably the most impactful camp we've been to. i never remembered OBS, sec 3 camp, and all the other leadership camps to be like pre-u sem is, seriously. the whole programme was also engaging. and though most PDs were boring, Prof Mahbubani's one was interesting ttm! seriously, he and the other two gave very insightful comments and advice. not forgetting sentosa, HIGHLIGHT!! wahahha. siamese soccer, geocaching, RAFTBUILDING WTF!!!! photos are all up on mathew's, fung mei's brenda's and navina's facebook! jonathan leong, navina, ana, yvonne, mathew, brenda, fazillah, benjamin, jonathan lao gong, fung mei, mei xuan, lihui, mila, norman, tim, glendon, jing yong, yiting, charles and gillian! you guys were and ARE amazing! omg, YEH-RI FTW. LOL. okay fine.

so the next one is very depressing, the passing of my dearest grand father, Toh Kuah. considering he stayed with us for so many years, and i'm doing this in his ex-room, it's vveryy, dejecting to say the least. but we all think he went and left satisfied, and if that's so, we all happy for you ah gong. i'm trying to work on something for him, so i'll get it out asap. we all miss you AH GONG!

life is full of surprises as i said, didnt i?

what la

2009-05-30T13:57:00.004+08:00

how's the going! okay anyway, i'm elated yet disheartened by many things lately. it's like life has it's way of making you feel the best and the worst. not bad huh? grand dad's in a pretty bad shape, and everyone's praying for him. there was a sunday where everyone thought he was almost there already, and it was sad yet really great to see everyone back there together. it's not that often to get the full strength you know.

so anyway, pre-u sem's next week, and i still dont really know what to expect. but i guess that's the whole fun part about what we live for huh. little surprises and unexpected twists. perfect i say! oh and finally 0705 had a proper wacky crazy time last night. it's just so typical of us to do that pose, it's soooooooooooooooooo temptingggg............

you all will know when i get the photos. till then!

mummmy and wei!

2009-05-14T23:58:00.006+08:00

Mum's birthday was the week before last and my bro-da's was a few days ago. i'm quite happy with how things went for both days. hahah, and oh! since my mum doesnt read my blog, i intend to get her a waffle maker, she's been pretty crazy over waffles with ice cream lately, so why not right!

After numerous conversations with yun hui on how religion is like and the possible reasons why they actually divide, i've come to realise that religions that i'm aware of, are technically good and pure.

It's the followers and worshippers that cause these religions to be flawed, by means of misinterpretations of teachings and the relentless abuse of religious authority. Additionally, matters are made worse by extremists who are blinded and brainwashed by the misinterpreted religious information and go to the extent of declaring holy war? Is there a war that's holy? Is there really a God who will teach and condone terror-inflicting activities and acknowledge the widespread of blood shed as a solution to peace and harmonious spiritual living?

will someone please tell me? lol

WINGS(: - 25/04/2009

"here's your cert. " oh okay, bye. HAHAHA

skylark 81

skylark 85, coolest fighter yo!

skylark 98

155 BFC. monastery course as yun hui says!

i havent really done a writeup on my whole flying journey so far, not that i'm lazy(okay partially), but more because i find it very.......... hard to start. not hard in terms of difficulty, but more emotionally. i'm not SOFT hor! but yeah. soon, i promise.

so yeah last saturday was our official wings ceremony, with the guest of honour being the same old same old, associate professor koo tsai khee. it really felt good seeing all 31 of us getting plastered with our wings. and YUN HUI'S SPEECH WAS GOOD!!!! BRAVO ZULU INDEED(:

so i'm glad i went to thank those who played major roles in my flying training, namely: instructor goh chye lee, instructor ng chee tat, and OM willie chow. really these mentors have been helpful, and they're really passionate in imparting the knowledge they have to students like us. i think THAT'S the difference between a TEACHER and a MENTOR.

check it out

2009-04-28T10:46:00.000+08:00

SO as i was saying, this weekend has been a weekend of birthday celebrations. dad's was yesterday, awesome seafood. and rrrrrregine's bbq was on just now. UBER fun. ha. proof that kids can be childishly fun. engaging yet nonchalantly mentally invigorating. we've now got our own tv series, own band, jamming sessions, kids programme with many more to come. HAHA.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING? they can be more fun AND matured than humas my age. shocking no?

and so here it goes again. CHEERS to the moments we've had and the moments yet to come (:

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
i'm starting to appreciate every non work moment i have with myself, family, friends, food, computer, home, and everything else non work related. i guess being so engrossed in sitting down reaps it's own genre of rewards. thanks but no thank you if i may.

shawn has just enlisted and brandon is next followed by boon hong. then it'll be jun cong, yong qin, jacky who will be sporting new hairdos. and it'll be just a few of us left. sweeeeet. NOT.

woooo. i.am.freaking.tired. period.

oh i almost forgot,

JIE WEI! seeeeeeeeee

Brawn GP

this is one new hell of a team to watch. working on a new car in just 6 weeks, and churning out a car that took two drivers with shitty cars last season to the top 2 spots in the melbourne grand prix is really stunning. totally invigorating for the sport plagued by scandals.

how much money have you guys spent on shopping in the past 2 years? i dont even dare to take out the calculator.

friends?

2009-04-04T17:55:00.004+08:00

ima straight homosexual. what say you?

i'm terribly saddened that i only found out about oasis' dig out your soul tour gig only yesterday. really. it's on sunday, indoor stadium, and it starts at 2000hours. i'm fucking mourning. on the other hand, dinner yesterday was really shit loads of fun. 18 people raiding holland v's crystlal jade. hahah DANIEL WAS erm......... well you know. hahaha. hilarious shit really. i think everyone had like 20 baskets of xiao long bao? and the stupid damn mushrooms that yijie ordered were soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo BOOM! okay i'm not making sense here but at least i think i am inside my head full of pink ponies, mach 2 aircrafts, rainbows, turning on finals, little fairies and throttle levers.

yes, i think i'm cool.

and so here we go

2009-03-29T14:38:00.004+08:00

mixed emotions, blurry sights, distorted sounds, and that stench?? SWEEEETTTTT

franz ferdinand has been a good change, check out their song "no you girls". funky shyt. oddly enough, i cant recall the events of the past few days, but somehow part of me doesnt want to? not that i didnt have fun. so excel's as good as it gets, and i think when i get back to school i'll pretty much own in it. excel ftw!

oh wait, cong wen. guo hao and Odette Yustman. there you go!

airport visits and the lone wolf

2009-03-23T00:47:00.002+08:00

dinner on saturday was really quite good i guess, and we all agree it's somewhere different than the usual cliche eateries around the island. plus the journey in is really something i'm totally into. monday blues is a really powerful thing, and i definitely understand why the adults loathe mondays, or at least why the word always thought to be meaningless is rather meaningful. contradicting but you get it.

do you think a lone wolf is dangerous? oxymorons ftw!

see you in four months dude

lets reggae all night!

2009-03-21T15:50:00.002+08:00

my point is always proven again and again, that a 9-5 job in the future would spell the death of me physically, mentally, spiritually or whatever you'll call it. omg pls pls pls pls pls. rsaf ftw.

poker during weekends for the past two weeks pretty fulfilling aye guys? lol. okay but seriously there're tons of other activities that we could do rather than sit around a table for hours fingering cards. it's raining cats and dogs, mice and cheese, US government and AIG right now. so plans for level 30 buffalo wings at east camp have been put on hold. quite a pity really.

on the contrary, it's a saturday, so what's new?

omfg

2009-03-17T23:47:00.003+08:00

saying last saturday afternoon was enjoyable is definitely an understatement. syfc can really be the best remedy. especially in times of adversity? but seriously, walking around in our flight suits(though it was warm when we went outside), talking to ALL kinds of parents(i certainly do mean all kinds), and giving the bfc students "advice", T.O.T.A.L.L.Y worth it. no?

oh whatever. so what's all the talk about vague instrutions? ambiguous future? think! i received a text from school the minute my phone was turned on(pun not intended, but oh well!), listing my grades for this sem's modules. you see what technology does for you? and in this case i'm not entirely PRO-technology mind you. so whatever.

got btt done thanks to the banks god ZEKE, *chants "All Hail Zeke!!!"*, and finally managed to settle everything for my driving. practical lessons, final theory trial tests, final theory test enrolment and what have you.

ps. finally got my bag as well. I. AM. CONTENTED.

REALLY.

5am and we're moving

2009-03-07T06:57:00.003+08:00

i'm impressed, the internet speed of the coms at the airport's pretty neat. niceee. so yesterday was a big day for all A levels students, so congrats to all who did as well as they hoped.

gonna be away till tuesday. no where far away, just to sabah. it's nice going for a short trip just to collect your thoughts and be out of contact for a while(well, though i wouldnt want to be uncontactable to some). and ever since i realised my appreciation for all who are here, i've always had this little reluctance to leave for trips. in other words, i miss people here. awwww you might say. hahaha.

okay, i've gotta go, the lady talking through the system's getting irritating. ciao.

w.h.y.

2009-03-02T02:34:00.007+08:00

not cute. adorable.

roar

why, of all the time, must it hit me now? dont get me wrong, i'm not emo-ing here, just been running some stuff through my mind these few days, and somehow cant help but question the reliability of reality. alright enough of that shit.

i just wish that we can have some time with no direction or purpose, or even one day. just to set things right, just to live a carefree life, just to have no obligations. just O.N.E. day. see i'm reasonable. but nooooo, life will tell you not. oh well.

been busy of late, and at the way things look, probably will be for a while? pretty happy but somehow troubled. and it's unsettling, to say the least, that i find myself in such a spot. quite the contrary to what i usually see no?

when i was younger i had piano and swimming to keep me busy. then band in primary school, which i always enjoyed. then in secondary school it was band again, this time much more meaningful and accomplishing, in many ways i say. then poly, and it was syfc, which likewise, very accomplishing, and...... i dont know, just feels good. and now that i'm kinda done with that, i feel so lost. like really lost. and since i was lost, i discovered the two biggest regrets of my 18 years so far. and that really saddens me alot.

it's just way way way tooo frustrating, and somehow it just piles up and adds on. it's pretty hard to talk it out cos it'll be a really terrible one sided conversation, and well, if a person dominates in a conversation, it ain't one isn't it?

interesting enough, when i see the way people emo on their blogs, it's always just a few sentences of their wave of emotions, always spaced out throughout that post. but that'll never happen aye! WOOSH.

blogger's a pain now

2009-02-12T01:41:00.002+08:00

i'm not allowed to upload an image. thanks blogger. today was fun, fun-er, delightful, then BOOM downwards spiral to shit. applaud applaud. entourage's the best remedy for insomnia. HELP ME!!!

the curious case of benjamin button is the most heart warming show i've ever seen. EVER. it starts off as distrubing, then it gets light hearted, comical, then sitting-at-the-edge-of-your-seat kinda feeling, then heart warming and then heart breaking. what a blast. got the book, and wow, comes with the movie's script. but i'm gonna tempt myself with it till the end of my papers.

life's short. really.

woosh

2009-02-08T23:02:00.001+08:00

i'm really tired. shiok. this whole being-tired feeling's really great. feels great. and i'm typing rubbish. somehow? kinda? maybe? probably? possibly? sorta? yeah. fine.

anyone wanna join michael phelps? i want some cannabis. and a bong. and a lighter. and my phone's ringing.

CLASSIC(:

2009-01-29T02:16:00.002+08:00

somehow, i just cant seem to hide the fact that i do miss taking to the skies every week, even if i were to get scolded by the instructors, cos once you've tasted flight, somehow you'll never get enough. and caas is taking forever to send me my license. dang.

days have passed and things have happened. CNY's fun so far. very enjoyable. good break from school shites. therapeutic indeed. i'm kinda zonked out atm since it's 2.30am. i wanna sleep. i will go now. g'night readers( if there are any).

happy new year btw(:

AMERICAN HISTORY X

2009-01-17T00:51:00.007+08:00

Happy Birthday my gay boy!

wednesday was another awesome day for soo many reasons, one of which was jeffrey HONG'S birthday. BSPFLS for 6 years babe! haha, so qd, jp, judith, yq and i were at wheelock place, then to isetan shaw centre. so qd purchased 2 bottles of champagne(one being a beringer), jq yq and gab shared a bottle of ice wine(heard it's pretty neat?) and i got a bottle of beringer and braown brothers. ALL these werre for the star gay boy! hahahah.

so we met them all and took a nice bus ride down to holland village, where we had reservations at crystal jade la mian xiao long bao for steamboat at 8.30. dinner was NOT BAD(urgh), but company was super fun! wahahah. dinner talk was hilarious that we all probably lost 4, 5 kg? yeah man. decided to all head to ju's place to hang out.

ARGH

while they made their way there, i left to meet a friend. after so long, so near yet pretty far? hahah, it was really great. (:

BSPFLs FTW!

then it was to ju's place for the chill-ing. AMERICAN HISTORY X is da bomb man! hahaha. i'm gonna hunt for it really soon. and jeff's cake's simply heavenly, and it better be for 80 bucks. haaha. OH! jeff's van got clamped. but the guard decided to be a saint by letting us off on no charges. AWESOME DAY.

ROAR

2009-01-11T13:48:00.006+08:00

having family ties beats almost everything else in the world. as corny as it sounds, you have to agree that no matter what happens, no one is pretencious, hell no. no one NEEDS to be PRETENCIOUS.

and that's awesome. i love that. (:

playing with fire

2009-01-08T01:09:00.005+08:00

israel has been bombarding the gaza strip for the past 2 weeks already, and many around the world are slamming the government for approving such "inhumane" acts. but my question to them is why wasnt anything said when israel was being hit by rockets fired by the hamas militant group in palestine for the past 2 or more years? they fired like the rockets were made in china(opps, wait a second, there were). imagine your neighbour using a handgun to shoot a room in your house where your wife and kids are, and when a bullet hits the bed post, you pull our your far superior shotgun and start blasting back. isnt that true? and now the talk is who actually are legitimate military targets.

one thing to take note is that the palestinians actually VOTED for the hamas to be in power. and yet they are crying foul when "civilians" are being killed there. though i strongly do not condone the act of bombing schools, but i want to believe that the israelis have to do what's necessary to show the hamas group that they mean business. so now, dont you think hamas has been playing with fire this whole time?

tell me i'm wrong. haha

the s word

2009-01-02T00:36:00.003+08:00

uber therapeutic shopping today. i'm elated (: plus isetan's mens department is look crispy after the revamp. nice. no more tasteless layouts. so it was rayden's party (with lots of starch, soap and water!) which was the annual tradition. fun.

felt rather chirpy today? no idea why but i'm the new Benjamin A. Maths right michelle? i thought so Sarah Science.

and before i forget, catch these two albums in action. and for PETE'S SAKE, CATCH ENTOURAGE!!!!

2009

HAPPY NEW YEAR NO? so here we go again. a brand new year, with the SAME academic lifestyle. i'm praying it wont be the same for my social situation. please ?

so headed all around the east side yesterday helping mum and then it was to aunt linda's place, for some baking, back to michelle's place for dinner and hilarious kiddo comedies and back home. still fun. but i'm gonna be breaking out of my comfort zone pretty soon, though it probably is there for my own good.

To awesome friends.

2008-12-27T04:01:00.003+08:00

There's a huge difference between being emo and sad. Unfortunately, not many can actually distinguish them.

Anyway, out with Priscilla and gang. Totally fun. Ip Man is "mind blasting"! Go catch it! looking up shawn at his workplace was cool. Crashed his friend's party, sherman's way too hilarious. Had a brief conversation with pris, always good(:

I guess this Christmas isn't half bad. True enough, there's been a delay. Works for me!

xmas

2008-12-25T17:47:00.007+08:00

this is probably the loneliest christmas i've ever had, maybe all the awesome shit's just delayed? fine with that.anyway, back from lunch at grand aunt's place. very warm and all, lovely food, lovely people, lovely. dinner later at aunt ginny's and then it's to aunt linda's place for our annual sleepover.

so anyway i've been pretty caught up with this show i've been totally crazy about, Entourage, it's fucking awesome. really. ari gold is the new black. wooosh. so christmas trees, log cakes, mistletoe, christmas cards(oh shit!), turkey. i'm still loving it. (:

oh and the next time vegans tell you meat is murder, remind them that even a brocolli screams when it's being ripped from the ground. Touché.

dont mention that review again!

2008-12-24T19:23:00.004+08:00

0705 guys outing to JB was a blast! manpreet's parents were lovely, they gave us a treat, of 6 pizzas! swimming, bbq, loads of shit from daniel and manpreet, all in all it was one hell of a fun trip. photos will be up as soon as i get them.

how fast! christmas back again, a year is gone, 3 years ago was the creation of this so called "blog". and now i'm in poly. this is getting way too fast for me. lets hope it'll get fast enough for me to taste flight twice the speed of sound? okay how about pretty please?

oh and did i forget?
MERRY CHRISTMAS (:

2008-12-13T00:31:00.003+08:00

jeff and jia pei were talking about some nonsense.

Jeff: F*** off la!
Jia Pei: Come on la!
Jeff: Don't "come on" me okay!

wahahahahaha! awesome pun man. WOOOOO. holidays are in full swing. last lesson today and then it was down to clarke quay for some red house seafood with the family and uncle victor's family. i seem so busy this holiday? damn. i think i've got some frustration issues. HEAR HEAR. it ain't anger issues, just frustration. damn it.

it can be so irksome when people self sympathise. it really puts me off. how do you expect people to respect you when you don't even give yourself the dues? just doesn't make sense. there's a HUGE difference between being humble and self sympathising. tsk

so anyway, i actually wanted to post something that was bugging my mind? but "surprise surprise"! forgot...

The Raconteurs are highly recommended

WOW

2008-12-08T23:34:00.004+08:00

after 1 year and 3 months, i've finally accomplished something meaningful, and i'm very proud of myself. 61.6 gruelling hours has led to the completion of my PPL course. 50.2 duel hours, 11.4 solo hours. and most importantly, 5th of December 2008. ONE DAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY. the moment ho ck told me he would clear me for my PPL, i was elated beyond belief. I'M SO DAMN F***ING HAPPY!!!! wahahhahahahha

ONE OF THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENTS EVER!!!

anyway, i've also had one of the most eventful birthdays so far. PPL attained, Swissotel The Stamford stay with the family, visits by the Tangs, night out driving with jeff and gang. FUN i say. hope it just keeps getting better!

porridge at maxwell is awesome, best supper ever! and gifts from oscar and jeff are lovely! thanks bspfls!! next up, diving or driving?

PROBLEM: an obstacle which makes it difficult to achieve a desired goal, objective or purpose. It refers to a situation, condition, or issue that is yet unresolved. In a broad sense, a problem exists when an individual becomes aware of a significant difference between what actually is and what is desired.

POREBREM:HUH???

it's quite scary the way lecturers back in my school talk. there're some who say the above taboo-ed word, while there're some - well at least ONE - who can even say the word "OKAY" 136 times in about 40 mins, and that's WHILE delivering his lecture. COOL STUFF.

telling me that i want more!

2008-11-02T23:32:00.005+08:00

OSCAR DAI!!!

my happiness client(dont go the wrong way!), starbucks man, holland v partner, shopping partner and also a BIG BROTHER!

awesome man oscar has left for taiwan but that's not it! he'll be back on the 27th of november only to spend ONE MORE WEEKEND OF AWESOME FREEDOM before relinquishing his mane temporarily for his second home country. yes, we all(jeffrey, qd as well as myself) are already missing him terribly, for different reasons i dont know? haahahaha. but all the same. check out their blogs for yourself.

this post is only for him. yes, he's that important. (:

judge me

2008-10-17T01:13:00.002+08:00

expect to be judged when you do so. school's in full swing, first week and assignments like christmas presents for little ones. how delightful. so my elated self has been pretty muddled up with stuff, school, bspfls, classmates, flying and SOME other commitment. well, you live life once, conform and be the norm? or make the most and be awesome. i'dknow??!

dont talk about fight club

2008-10-11T01:41:00.008+08:00

"it's only after we've lost everything, are we then free to do anything."

my temporary period of enjoyment and relaxation is about to come to an abrupt end with the head of the new semester smacked right in my damn face. how do i feel about it? well, getting back to the routine mundane life, living behind a facade of lies like everyone similar and in so close proximity. the truth only to be found when one's back's turned, and smiling faces in front of you? walk forward into the back door.
now do that.

i am jack's wasted life

how nice.

2008-10-05T19:05:00.002+08:00

house bunny with oscar, NSF jeff and brandon was enjoyable. laughter, stupidity plus the usual opposite sex. aesop rock, gnarls barkley have been on my playlist, with american psycho(book) taking top spot on my to do list. i swear that movie's amazing. plans for oscar's big 19th has gone under way, though the more exciting ones prolly wont make the cut. how sad indeed.

B.T.W, i'm not gonna waste my time. period.

they were feeding each other, so yes they're probably what you think they are.

awww

this took a while. cos not all cameras are produced to take shots of the awesome.

fine! i'm thick skinned. for now.... oh and the big new zealand guy is back.

how do you guys feel about indoctrination?

Noam Chomsky remarked as such, "For those who stubbornly seek freedom, there can be no more urgent task than to come to understand the mechanisms and practices of indoctrination. These are easy to perceive in the totalitarian societies, much less so in the system of 'brainwashing under freedom' to which we are subjected and which all too often we serve as willing or unwitting instruments."

so what's your take?

prudes

2008-09-21T01:20:00.009+08:00

BONDING:

something, as an agreement or friendship, that unites individuals or peoples into a group;

this word, which is so damn widely used, is starting to put me off. more often than not, people use this word, for eg "we would want to BOND you guys together", and as such, the word is starting to be increasingly meaningless. how can you possibly "force-bond" people together? doesnt it defeat the purpose? prudes

ANYWAY, i'm now known to bring happiness to peoples' lives. well at least to oscar's and qd's. hahaha. i've come to realise that staying on the computer till the wee hours of the morning is starting to take a toll on my health. ok enough of that shit. any randomness observed in this post is due entirely to the fact that i'm half dead and trying to be funny. LAUGH. douche bags. alrighty, time for some photos from the most awesome bbq i've ever attended.

WTF!"!!

2008-09-16T02:53:00.005+08:00

on a side note, "balls of steel" is highly recommended for youtube/bored freaks.

OH OH OH how could i ever forget jeff's bbq. holy shit. wait till i get the pics. dont get me wrong, it was memorable, but certain events made it imprinted in the history books. HOHOHO, just be patient. we were caught in the rain around 3 plus, we all ran to this huge tent like it was from the movie "The Perfect Storm". damn fun. and the wind we experienced was the strongest i've EVER felt on this little sunny island things were flyin every where, it was like shockingly stunning. but definitely definitely DEFINITELY(get this guys) UNFORGETTABLE.

a lil something hilarious:

this smart alec thought he was soooo cool, zipping in and out of traffic on the CTE. mind you it was a SUNDAY AFTERNOON, which also stands for JAMMED UP! so about 5 seconds after he zoomed by my bro said he saw and accident. and here ladies and gentlemen, is the result

again,once i say

2008-09-16T00:14:00.015+08:00

okay, since i'm waiting for results to be out(it's been jammed since 0000hrs), probably do another random update. the week has been fine, area solo was way cool, photos(HAHHA) up next post. and my instructor's going a months leave for some course(wtf?!), bloody hell, so doubt flying's gonna be so often. with the others' FHT coming up pretty soon, we're all getting pretty worked up. SYSTEMS!

soccer was soooooooo good just now, just pushed myself though i was feeling so exhausted. we played one match for like 20-25mins? the rest were cursing and swearing for us to finish LOL. and for some reason, i was so focused for that game. hahah, was really responsive to all the "ball-calls", and when jen yi scored the second goal, all our fists were pumped in the air, exaggerating i'm not!

uh huh

uh huh uh huh

beat that!

had lunch two weeks back at equinox with parents. so nice to be back(: kept seeing C-130s and Fokker-50s flying by, it only occured to me a while later that it was cause of the RSAF Open House. DUH?!

awesome vinyl on and AUTHENTIC carbon fibre bonnet

Port Dickson Trip
so next up, another what i've started to call "chill trip". this time to port dickson, malaysia, on the 13th of june. it was an entourage made up of the Tow, Tan, Ang and Tang families. woohoo! awesome. put up at The Legend Water Resorts this time, due to the deteriorating standards at Avillion Resort. a picture of a suite is down below. not bad i would say, but not that perfect either.

so anyway i actually joined them a day later as i had a VERY eventful airlaw paper on friday. so joined aunt corina and family(aka Tang family) for the journey to meet the rest. i'm feeling really lazy(as always), so i'll let the photos illustrate the trip for me (:

HAHA!

i've been thinking and stuff, and these are the two planes that i really hope i can fly in the near future, since the F-15SG Strike Eagle would be expected to reach our shores by the end of this year.

2008-01-15T00:16:00.000+08:00

i swear i'm getting crazy. stats project, management project, java project and econs project. okay though two are now over, it's been a really hectic 3 weeks or so. and i'm soooo looking forward to my long vacation in march. hopefully i'd be able to go over to wellington and auckland to hang out with michael and gilbert. fingers crossed.

and so the medical saga continues, where i had 16 wires on my face and legs for my sleep test on monday. and i wouldnt actually say that's the most comfortable sleep i had. plus the lights were on so yeah waddup(i'll post the pic when i've got it). on the contrary, flew sortie 11 on sunday, and circuits can be quite scary. the first time i tried to land, i rounded out to high, so the stall warning came on, then i had quite a hard landing. second time i landed i didnt round out enough, and i again had quite a hard landing. and i keep coming from a high approach and always pointing to the left, bad bad bad. work on it jiaming you crap head.

i'm tired, soccer was awesome as ever, much needed moving around. so jiaming's tired, he says good night and au revoir (:

damn it

2007-12-31T00:17:00.000+08:00

24th- christmas eve dinner
25th- lunch at aunty linda's, dinner at aunty ginny's and stayover at aunty linda's
26th- friends over at my place
27th- bro's birthday
28th- dinner at grand uncle arthur's
29th- lunch/dinner at shawn's
30th- dinner with aunty joanne!
31st- new year's eve dinner
1st- rayden's birthday party

i cant tell you how much i've enjoyed the past week! and aunty joanne just arrived along with uncle joe and lil gillian, she's really a cute lil girl man, and much more matured as compared to girls her age here. and look! 9 days of partying. totally love it man. i was telling my mum we should do more of this and she told me i'm nuts. hahah! i think i've got some photos to update but i'm really lazy right now? so yeah. HA. anyway, the weather's been really mean to me recently, and i've not been able to fly the last 2 times i was scheduled to. and it isnt the most pleasent thing to be up so early, go all the way there, wait for an hour only to know that your flight has been cancelled. anyway, flying on wed so fingers crossed!

i'm tired and i've got like 3 hours of freaking school later flollowed by projects. PROJECTS! the one thing i hate about poly, besides java. so yeah, the thought of scool reopening makes me sick. back to routine days of boredom and brain cracking. argh. eww.

ta ta readers(if there're any at all. HA)

it's christmas again!

2007-12-25T01:50:00.000+08:00

yay! merry christmas to whoever's reading right now. had an awesome dinner with the family, roast chicken, lamb, mushroom soup, garlic bread, pork ribs, potato and salad. was so bloated i tell you.

anyway, i'm tentatively in phase 2 thought i've still gotta clear all my medicals. hoping for the best man. life's been pretty messed up lately, neither in a bad or a good way, just pretty mixed up, kinda lost. BUT, it's christmas man! so later's gonna be lunch at aunt linda's followed by dinner at aunt ginny's. then stay over at aunt linda's place. omg, i so love christmas. i hope santa's nice, but i havent been the nicest kid around so i dont expect much, just hope for more cheerful people around instead of stuck up/rude/insensitive ones. so here's a toast to a better environment! :)

woohhoo!!

2007-12-09T00:55:00.000+08:00

well, thanks to those so dear as to spam me with the anticipated sms-es at 12am on the 6th of december, you guys very well made my day man!! and special thanks to Jacky and Jiapei for the present, totally love it, you guys know my taste! HA. had dinner with the family at "the forest restaurant", well, the environment there is debatable, but the food was pretty good, especially the prawns! OH! and readers, go try marche at vivocity, it's really good. the potato there is still as awesome as ever, the pork knuckles are heavenly, the calamari is superb and the ice cream crepe is out of this world! so yeah, anyone looking for a dinner date, call me!!!

outing with the class on friday was fun, mrt-ed to city hall and the 11 of us had cafe cartel at marina square. i was constanly cheering myself to finish that plate of st louis pork ribs. dont get me wrong, the ribs are great, but the size of the portion is eye popping. but i finished it! take that guo hao! tried to catch a movie but as usual, marina square's movie line up is as pathetic as ever. so it was pool till 10plus. and believe or not,i won 5 games in a row, and not by my skills, but due to the fact that my opponents(guohao, jieying, yijie, marcus, congwen) hit the black ball in. how coincidental huh? home ensued not long after we paid up.

7th of december : Michelle Tang's birthday, Michelle Ng's birthday
9th of december : Yeh Jia Pei's birthday

HA. tata.

finally people!

2007-12-04T00:43:00.000+08:00

okay i know it's been so long since i updated but seriously people, life is getting busier man! well, it's kinda good and bad, good that at least i'm occupied with stuff, bad that i lose track of what i've been wanting to do, so yeah(: SO, this is what i've been up to lately:
1) sortie 3
2) sim 3
3) sortie 4
4) sortie 5(sobs)
5) sim 4
6) sortie 6(:
7) java quiz
8) management ICA
9) econs ICA
10) dcn ICA
11) french ICA

cool huh? thank you thank you. well, yesterday was shazly's birthday, so we tried to make soccer as enjoyable for him. and he did enjoy so that's great! oh, and say wee's birthday was also pretty well celebrated, with the day spent at minds cafe and dinner at beloved fish and co.

and 2 sorties remain before my progress is decided by capt ng chee tat(my instructor, damn cool guy), whether i would move on to phase 2(which i dearly dearly want t0) so all you nice readers out there, please pray for me! ha! okay la, just kidding, i've gotta prove with my skills man. you can do it jia ming!

okay, it's freaking 1.30am now, off to bed people. au revoir.

finally

2007-10-26T02:52:00.000+08:00

omg, it's been a very tiring 2 weeks of sem 2, but thankfully my class has made it enjoyably irritating. haha, did sim 1,2 as well as first two sorties, which the latter, wasnt such a breeze. OH! it was ms yeo shu hui's birthday yesterday(technically) and she was sooo high the whole day, hilarious girl.

this is how our simulator looks like.

and the cockpit

okay, i'm tired, like seriously, so ttfn people (:

woo! happy go lucky!

2007-10-11T01:58:00.000+08:00

today was awesome. had simulator training in the morning. did checks and tried to taxy, and boy it aint easy i'm telling you. and controlling the plane with one hand is soo tiring on your left wrist!! but fun! johnathan crashed when he tried to land. haha!
rushed to work and the rest is a routine. tired tired tired. but i'm having crazy chats with ms yeo shu hui now. it's beyond words to tell you how our conversations go. haaha.

monday was soccer and the last few games were super duper ultra giganticly fun! raj, jacky, zhen liang, shazly and i were one team and we owned for all the matches till the end! haha, and each match was to be played to 3 goals and we managed to finish each match in less than 5 mins la! haha we rock! we stone! we pebble!

sleep time people, adios amigos (:

crap...

2007-10-07T00:43:00.000+08:00

life has been relatively increasingly interesting. the job at fundsupermart is like uber interesting. learning how to "read" funds etc, super cool. observing the trends and looking at the different markets in the region as well as the world, how cool is that. best of all is that my bosses are so nice and patient that they even teach me all these stuff. borrowed a book from them titled "Freakonomics". HIGHLY RECOMENEDED.

syfc has been getting more and more fun, with everyone making friends and fooling around even during our external and cockpit checks. watching the ppl students do their touch and go circuits is so cool. literally touch and go. lower throttle speed, land, run for 2 secs then full throttle and take off again. ahhh. and fellow rugby fan shu hui has been sleeping, suggested that she organise a sleep-athon as part of her campaign to promote sleeping. ahahha. she's hilarious la. crap, this coming saturday is a public holiday, meaning no syfc, meaning sian-ness, meaning boredom, meaning jiaming goes absolutely cashew nuts! as i am now. ta ta people, the earth says good night (:

;oawu gouw;owiugb qwirugb li2 gt9l8

2007-09-26T23:35:00.000+08:00

wooooo! tired. syfc test was better then expected, though we all felt like we were sitting for o levels. HA! then it was radiotelephony and runway familiarisation. monday was soccer, and i still hate hooligans! bloody hell. then tuesday was like fun?! met jean a.k.a pistachio nut at amkhub, we bus-ed all the way to sunset way to have super delicious rocky's pizza(highly recommended!). talked like mad la! took 2 buses all the way to orchard so that she could get her art stuff, talked all the way non stop!then it was to citylink where i got my 2 t's!! guess what ? met averil along the way! then she gave me this smile, which i'm gonna skin her alive for? HA! then it was chocz at esplanade which totally satisfied my tummy. thinking about it makes me drool. dumb jiaming.

pistachio's version(she claims her's is better)

my version

started work today, at this place called, Fund Supermart, which is under iFast. (ifast, uslow HA!). work is fine, really nice pace or work to do, so it's still managable. (:

P.S damn it, i've caught the flu bug, at the wrong time! argh!

well well well

2007-09-18T02:17:00.000+08:00

i'm tired but happy. just finished a game with victor,yan rui, zhen liang and an online friend. soo close. yan rui has learnt his lesson. HAHA. soccer was great today. yeap. definitely.

i realised that i'm not talking sense now. maybe my brain's dead. jia ming, go sleep please.
fine, i will.

by the way, dad's going for a business trip tomorrow. bon voyage (:

well i........

2007-09-15T23:16:00.001+08:00

well, this is the piper warrior PA-28-161.
the plane that i HOPEFULLY would be able to fly solo and graduate with a PPL.

today was fun. and tiring. had to reach syfc at 8.30!! briefings, introductions, talks, lunch and lecture. and just one week into the course and i've got a test next week. HA, so much for efficiency. the tangs were here for dinner. little cute critters they are.

okay, i'm really tired now. but the bloody marcus wants me to send him hairspray's ost. idiot. haha
OH! did i mention that the last jamming session A.A had was AWESOME?!?! totally.

omg, hsm2

2007-09-10T12:33:00.000+08:00

high school musical 2 last night was sooo awesome. i had the idea that the sequel would make me sick of the franchise but NOO, it got better. how amazing. and as much as i wouldn't like to be those little kiddies who swwoooon over the star couple, i have to admit (with much jealousy) that they look terribly good together. zac efron's so good looking, vanessa ann hudgens is stunning, i guess somehow the world can be fair. HAHA. go watch please. and if anyone has the ost for the movie, you know what to do!

oH! another thing that has got my mood up and about recently:
i got into syfc. orientation's on the 15th. and even before the course has started, i already have to print the study guide aka the textbook. but it's very interesting and i hope and will have fun.

P.S:i'm still thinking of the awesome movie. well, jia ming is still retarded (:

2007-09-02T03:16:00.001+08:00

well, my family keeps the tradition of having lots of pizza for dinner together while watching the national day parade. and ever since i was able to see and remember things, the fly past of the F-16s have always wowed me. no idea why. i wanna join the black knights! they're this quintet of planes painted in black and red and they're sooooooooooooo awesome!

syfc is taking their OWN SWEET TIME to get back to us, uber irritatingly nerve wrecking. dang. hhaha, and guess what, i'm talking on skype with saywee and issac. argh. we're trying to irritate each other! mass nudging, mass online/offline-ing, mass prank calling etc. ARGH!
I LOVE THE 3 OF THEM!! SERIOUSLY (:

finally

2007-08-09T03:36:00.001+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIN-GA-PORE.

the night was hectic indeed. outing with a third of the class, was FUN. ha, hanging around at the cathay is defintely good and bad(mostly good), ask yijie and kunming, i think they'll agree with me. pooled at then it was off to marina south for the usual stuff. funny thing is that i always tell myself that i wont go back but find myself being dragged there. but it was still hilariously enjoyable, with me being high(alone) at the odd-est moments. dang. WHAHA. and guohao drove us to east coast park, AND GUESS WHAT WE SAW!!!! dozens of cars parked in this very dark carpark with all their windows covered. "i wonder what their doing?" *acts terribly ignorant* HAHAH. but i was so embarrassed to sit straight cos guohao was driving soooo close to the cars and i was afraid someone would come out with a real big gun and shoot us down? HAHAHAH. fine. but it was still embarrassingly fun.

"when a love comes to and end, weaklings cry, efficient ones instanly find another love, and the wise already have one in reserve." -i dont really encourage this but i think the quote is like "wow!".

oh, and antje, i want you to stand strong! that's what our family is good at! ignore hypocrites and little creepy liars. these people i not worth even thinking about. chill girl. you know where to find me (: cheer up :DDDDD

crashed at jeff's house after school yesterday with jp before meeting situ, pris and mic ng at j8 for transformers i SWEAR, that it's gotta be THE biggest(literally) blockbuster this year. the cg was so clearly detailed and the whole show was amazingly well-written. GO WATCH PEOPLE. I'M AVAILABLE FOR TRANSFORMERS MOVIE PARTNER. megan fox is hot and so are the cars!
