the thrill of skidding in control*

keep your goals in sight

what happening days - yetd + today! :)

I shall break the recent chain of non-narrative blogposts, and give into temptation to describe part of my life, for posterity/reminiscing material next time. :P

Bballed with class again. Under the super scorching sun! siaoooo la! but fun... except that i feel like i'm going to fall sick due to overexposure to scary sun and uv light... did halogenation occur? But it was cool :P at least i managed to spend time doing something instead of slacking around waiting for h3 chem to end so that we could go over to wj's house together! Bathed in school for the first time everrrr~ my opinion is that the shower cubicles are too small, no space to dump stuff... :\ anyways Johnson's^2 Top-to-Toe, Wild Orange Wash smells super good XD yumx but i still prefer bathing at home... rahh. I missed you dear computer! :)

Sleepover with 413 really turned into a sleepover (and eatover)... that was mostly because i found out i had flight today... and with priorities skewed towards flying, i managed to get the same amount of sleep i usually get on weekdays, minus some interruptions, i.e. the Ms Tans who came in the middle of the night, to whom i only spoke 1-2 sentences, partook of a little slightly alcoholic fruit cream (which helped me fall asleep despite the noise and small amt of alcohol ingested - it usually doesnt work), koped some swiss rolls and cream puffs they brought, and promptly decided i better go sleep! Other interruptions included the doors opening and closing, lights turning on and off as people entered and exited the room (which contained the most easily accessible toilet) and random loud bursts of laughter that managed to penetrate through the walls. Oh, and had to endure some people gloating that they weren't the darkest in class anymore... (apparently she got called a bangladeshi worker by a jc classmate... so what does that make me?!) :
On a lighter note, i managed to see and speak (minimally) with people i haven't interacted with for such a long time! and the food there was yummilicioussss 0=) lime juice rocked, so did everything else la... but was too lazy to bbq marshmellows so went without. I guess sleeping as much as i did, was rather antisocial, but we have to keep our goals in sight! anyway, was bored halfway...coz they started watching hana yuri dango -.- and i didn't want to watch... and ended up stoning and mental flying abit. sleeping was the next stage.

Funny how when you look back on things, they didnt seem as bad as they did as compared to when you were living them... does that mean i don't live to the fullest at that point in time? and spend my time looking back instead... how screwed up... :X

Sleeping as much as i did, i would have expected to be refreshed. Unfortunately, things never turn out the way you expect them to and i was totally dead when i left wj's house at 9+ to get to the club... Fortunately, red bull and kitkat saved my day! such a potent combination, i think i shall 'indulge' everytime i have flight in order to focus!

AT LAST, after 21 days of non-flying, they suddenly decided to give me a sudden rush of flights - 3 in a week! Of which, the first 2 i totally died for, having forgotten the feel of flight after such a longgg break :x to my utter horror and disgust, i got 4s...but i felt like i deserved them. sortie 11 was such a mess... if he hadn't given me a 4 i think i would have felt like utter dirt and a cheater... sortie 12 had slight improvements but similarly, i didn't feel like it merited a 5, unless it was a super low 5... This makes a total of three 4s out of 13 sorties! feel like such a n00b but at least, there were improvements. and i regained my 5 status at last, sortie 13, on OJ (a plane i used to detest but it's my own fault for thinking that neutral control column = wings level! attitude flying and look out pls) Red bull and kitkat + focus all the way!

ETD: 1120
ETA: 1250
Dual hours: 1.4
Total dual: 14.4
Sortie 13
9V-BOJ

.flew.
obstructed by clouds and haze
buffeted by turbulence
but felt sun on skin
held the pressure coming in
and loved the land that was seen
.aim.
