gosh, its been a long time since i've last blogged, cant even rem how long ago was it.. mayb i was so busy, mayb i was just plain lazy during the weekends, or mayb i was too depressed for getting confined for 2 wkends in a row, its already like 3 weeks in base, havent seen Perth or anywhere else in 3 weeks.. ah but wadever, i just din blog

lots have happened in this 2-3 weeks since i've blogged, there was a day of freak weather, where temperature went up to 40 degrees in the early afternoon, and there was a thunderstorm afterwards, and in the middle of the thunderstorm there was a hailstorm, its really quite cool seeing ice fall from the sky, suddenly it just gets so noisy outside.. and then the temperature dropped to low 20s, in a summer day? just freak weather lah..

i also went 1st area solo 2 weeks ago, which roughly translates to me flying the plane alone into some training area 50 miles away, doing some aerobatics and then coming back to land.. it was quite cool really.. until i overstressed my aircraft.. basically while doing aerobatics like loop and roll of the top etc. there's a certain amount of Gs to pull, which is like.. centripetal force lah, and you/the aircraft will experience more forces acting on it, so basically the more Gs you pull, the heavier/more force you'll experience, yah.. so the maneouvres i do the max will go until 4.5G, and the aircraft could take up to 5Gs lah, and then i happily pulled up to 5.5G, which was like.. me feeling 5.5 times heavier, its a shitload of force and yah, i was darn lucky the plane din fall apart on me. soooo had to go back and file a FAIR (Flying Accident/Incident Report) to HQ RSAF, and basically got into serious trouble lah.. kena scolded like nuts tat day, was feeling totally down at that time.

and a whole lot of shit happened that i cant really remember right now, cos its been too darn long.. up till now i've flown like 36 flights, and... i tink i have about 50 plus more to go.. and i've been here for like 8 months already.. it was supposed to b a 9 month course.. so well u do the math.. i'm projected to finish in 3-4 months more.. so the earliest i can get back is in June, and most probably i'll b back in late July.. go figure.. 11 months over here.. i'm seriously changing over here, whether i like it or not, i guess u guys will see a different me when i'm back.. i guess this is what they call a life-changing event.. or wadeva lah.. a whole new week of shit awaits me
