oh ya my dreamz.... haha can roughly remember it... oki for some reason i've been getting weird dreams lately..... god knows why.... i mean its really unusual..... so anyway.... my dream on thursday was about....

Singapore has gone to war with someone else.... as usual our army is short of people and we are short of pilots..... for some reason SAF drafted in all YFC cadet pilots into the airforce. i was selected as one of the scout pilots... apparently many of the others disappeared after the briefing... so for some reason all those PPL guys got drafted into the airforce... we on the other hand, were mainly sent as Airforce scouts.... using our Piper Warriors and CT/4Es... interesting huh... lol... so on one of our scouting missions... which was supposed to be to look out for some important enemy position for our bombers.... all of YFC's aircraft was supposed to fly.... i so happen to get the CT/4E.... and the most interesting thing about it is that i have no idea about its capabilities.... but hell i'm assigned to do it anywayz.... so we all take off at Seletar and land at Paya Lebar for the full briefing alongside other flight training cadet pilots. (probably may be those private fellows and those from SIA) then we all went into our aircrafts and lined up on paya lebar's 5km long runway..... woah that was a sight manz..... i was one of the last aircrafts to take off......

next thing i knew i was flying at 200ft through enemy lines as i saw many of our scouts falling out of the sky.... then after a loud noise...... i saw our land troops cheering us from war torn buildings as i flew past themz...... that was wicked..... it was soooo cool..... then i came back to mainland..... ya we had to pass a body of water.... (that sooooooo................... limits our possibility of enemies huh...) anywayz.... then i suddenly see emily and friends waving to me..... guess that promise she made to me had an effect too.... curious..... but anywayz.... when i landed at Seletar.... not many of us made it back.... sadly..... i only remember seeing one other Piper Warrior back in the hanger.... mind u we have 2 CT/4Es and about 7-12 Piper Warriors. so ya.... dunno what happened.... but scouts dun really make it out alive dun they.... sad.....

Friday's dream.... well its not as interesting as thursday's one..... but here goes.... i'm with my cousins Gabriel and Hannah were with my dad at some place.... but then we were passing this LRT of MRT track.... when we saw a bird and a kitten playing..... they were about the same size.... we couldn't really tell if they were playing or not. then suddenly i reach this bus stop.... all TIBS busses..... kinda reflects the fact that i dun fancy SBS. there was a 980, 985 and one more bus.... think was 190..... yahz....... strange huh.... can anyone help me locate such a place with all 3 bus numbers??? maybe there's something there? then suddenly the bird carries the kitten and dumps it on the road!!!! argh!!!!! my god..... things got a bit grusome after that..... so i shall not persue it.... ah its nothing much.... just that the kitten got smashed and died.... u know skull crushed and stuff..... uh.... whoops....... oh well...

next.... we have saturday's dream..... i'm back at my primary school... St Michael's to take a high level science practical examination... then we were having this game session in the hall.... there's this pieces of shit lying on the floor... then we're supposed to scoop it up.... so i went there and almost picked it up and this instructor came up to me and said..... "You are picking it up on the upwind.... thats wrong" i was like ???????? upwind??? where did that term come from??? ok~~~~~ then went to check my venue... was a #02-112.... ya.... very curious.... numbers are just coming to me like that.....

oki on to today's flight!!! yeahz!!! sortie 10!!! my final flight for Phase I... so i ran through with my mom in the morning...... ai.... downwind checks a bit weak... oh well....

i go down to jalan kayu and caught the 12.30 van that left YFC... went and had lunch... apparently... YFC was having this thank you session for their staff.... u know for the opening and stuff like that.... was organised by the Boss... so i ate me lunch with some of the staff from admin...

so before i go for my flight brief i met evelyn, one of the staff in the recruitment department.... pretty pretty... ^_^ so she was telling me about how an independent internal YFC can be organised. isn't that cool.... well i'm kinda wondering whether it will be worthit.... to quit ES and form YFC.... that would be great... i'm more or less tired of ES.... the attitude is just wrong. at least YFC the very fact tat those in the course are already filtered from the Singaporean scum. so anyway i'm just still thinking only.... but hai.... the fact that i'll probably be able to shine in poly still lingers there.... what is wrong with me? did i make the wrong choice??? oh wellz.... till another time....

haha expected a tata already? no way.... lol... oki go for my flight briefing with Siva... he looked through my file and said.... "i thought i flew you on the last flight?" then i told him Mark Yeo flew me. but u did brief me for this flight on tuesday. then he was like "ah yes yes yes.... so today can handle take off?" i was so ready manz!!! so my scheduled take off time was 1430hrs... but he told me to be ready in 15mins.... and that was at 1.50pm.... and by that 15mins i must be sitted and ready to start the aircraft. which means early departure.... why? cause the sky was so high and ya..... its was going to rain... so i went to my aircraft.. Hotel. then as i preped it for flight... i asked my friend whether we could make it.... then suddenly i saw my instructor next to me.... he was like "hey what are you doing? go and prepare the aircraft quickly!" lol so i quickly did it and prepared for takeoff.... then while waiting in the cockpit for him i heard mark yeo's aircraft trying to start.... wah scary sia.... engine couldn't start after 3 tries.... or was it 4.... hmmm... thought there could be a problem... but oh well.... then Siva came in and i started on me own.... his words were... "So you take me to Area Alpha" that was my instructions.... and that would mean almost 20mins of uninterrupted airtime for me. no handling controls to him.... just Hotel and myself. which was really cool....

it was a flawless flow of checks and for some reason i was really calm on the R/Ts.... i even spoke with a gentle tone to it. a very relaxed and comfortable tone... then he guided me about how to take off..... haha that was soooo cool...... engine was at 1200rpm.... then suddenly i was cleared for takeoff..... phew...... that engine went to 2500rpm!!!! and i was racing along the runway..... the takeoff was beautiful.... the lifting off the ground..... a magnificant event..... handling was pretty easy on hotel.....

also now i'm now able to fly certain tasks with ease.... like normally to fly straight and level, i would use the 3rd screw on the windscreen to use as a gauge... now its just a lookout in the horizon... and woala i'm straight and level... climbing also like that..... just like that..... its.... like.... riding a bike.... u can't explain how u can balance and cycle.... it just comes along.... probably would be termed experieence.

then suddenly it was dark.... at Area Alpha.... between Bukit Timah Hill and the Causeway.... the dark clouds were hovering at 3500ft. we were flying at 3000ft. think out of the 5 aircraft that was scheduled to fly.. only 4 made it out. 2 of these 4 were to do circuits... meaning around seletar airport only. so only mark yeo and siva's aircrafts were operating in Area Alpha. managed to complete the lesson and we headed back to seletar. then as we passed over the runway... it started drizzling.... haha first time in the aircraft for me... so i found out why we dun need wipers.... the rain just blows off on its own. thhen after that it got a bit heavier.... but no turbulence yet... maybe just a few bumps from time to time. then when we were turning to the base leg.... the stretch moving towards the landing configuration, i saw a lightning about 2km away.... woah i got a shock manz and instead of descending i climbed 200ft.... haha..... must have really shocked me....

i nearly could have been given a chance to land... but couldn't cause it was raining.... hai...... debrief and stuff was oki... just that he said that i must have this..... this..... he really couldn't find a word for it..... he said was "Self-Awareness" told me that i needed to be more aware of the aircraft..... whether its going up or down..... but still at 1510hrs... i'm cleared to go for Phase II !!!! yipee!!!!

went to KFC to get my victory dinner.... oh but i met this cute girl at the counter... haha.... (here we go again u must be thinking) oh wellz... haha yah dunno what happened but i clearly ordered a 3pc chicken take away and she was preparing for me a 3pc meal.... ^_^?? well for some reason i was very nice.... didn't scold and stuff.... well i normally don't either.... just that it felt different.... strange.... but i did catch her name.... Cynthia... ya and she's also just started working here.... interesting.... most interesting indeed.....

oh well thats it for today.... one heck of a long entry.....
