A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish."
"Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world."
Puff! She's gone.
"Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life."
Puff! He's gone.
"OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."

Moral of the story : Always let your boss have the first say.

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.
After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbour," she replies.
"Great!" the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"

Been a week since i last flew... will have to wait until tues before i can fly..@_@ So will be free for the next 2 days at least.

Yesterday Me and terry went to the Burswood again.... I know I Know... i should not be going there too often and addicted to it. Got to admit that i did gamble last nite. But the main feature was not to gamble, as there are too many people to gamble anyway... haha.. Main was to have "eye-candies" and our traditional free coffee...heehee....had 5 cups of coffee... can't blame us for being bored here eh. Basically just walk around drink coffee look at the models from the model competition, once in while when the jackpot is high, i'll put in $5 to try my luck.. haha... overall still manage to win $10... Nowadays going there is more for passing time than addiction, at least thats what i felt... lol and thats it for our nite. Nothing much.

Is the coming back... Yesterday was gusty. Forecasted that the weather these three days will be crap. Thunderstorms developing here and there. And had to park all the way outside yesterday nite, cause our allocated parking lot was taken up due some mistake. @_@ Had to walk in the rain. After that we had supper. I was changed walk down and i saw someone squatting inside the cookhouse in the dark.. thats creepy. However he was actually some junior that just had their initiation. Can tell that he was in pain. I thought he was having alcohol poisoning or something, but he said he didn't drink. hmmmm.... but nevertheless, he was in so much pain that i went to woke his buddy up to send him to hospital. (Just checked on him just now.. hes back from the hospital, given a few days MC due some reaction. Lucky nothing serious happen) Cause a few months back, we had a similar case of my friend got sent to the hospital in the middle of the night due acute appen. Thats bad.

thats about all... cheers! Have a good weekend everyone! =)

The unknown set of car keys found in my room belongs to..... Me. Guess what, that was actually the spare key to my car.. LOL. It was with my friend usually, but since he shifting room, he passed the keys to me.. LOL... felt so stupid. @_@

Anyway... i just woke up. Was supposed to zzzz early. Worked out fine. zzzz at 2330, but woke up at 0230.... Why?? Cos hungry..Usually i'm still awake at this hour and probably too used to it and got hungry.. haha.. just had my noodles and apple juice. Yeah!

The mid-day of the week is named for the Norse God, Odin. He was also known as Woden or Wotan (Woden's day wednesday) Something that i search out... haha.. just to share. ========================================================

So wednesday is the mid-week for many working ppl. And afterwhich will be looking forward to the upcoming weekends... i suppose. Unlike me.. everyday can be a "weekend" but at the same time anyday can be a working day. Thats hows things goes over here. We have to wait for the availabilty of aircrafts and the planned slots with our instructor. That explains why sometimes i complain bored, but sometimes i complain no time... =) Self-contradicting. @_@

Today is an overcast day. Raining raining and raining still. And now outside the wind is howling through... WOOOOOOOoooooo. Today was suppose to be a BBQ night over here where all the instructors and students gather for dinner. Due rain, the BBQ was done indoors, and guess what.. they never get enough food for all. So ended up i decided to go out to have dinner instead.

When i got back.. there was a "present".. A unknown set of car keys were on my desk... hmmm i asked around but no one seem to know who left it in my room. Some one felt "generous" and left it here.. haha... =P Guess the person will soon be looking for me.. if not... we will have a extra car to move around in (provided we know which car it is), other than mine. heehee... =P

Other than this.. nothing went on for my day.. Yet another day once again... Anyway.. Cheers! 2 more days to weekends my working friends =)

Its been some time since i last went singing KTV. =) Was woken up from my afternoon nap to go. Thought was another boring day for me, but lucky went for the ktv. And we had Korean steamboat for dinner.. and all ended well. Guess will be playing a game or two then zzzz time again. Anyway. Cheers to all for those who have started their week. I'll be starting my week on wednesday. =)

2 hours more to my flight. Have already finished planning out. Though finished, but dun really think i should be out flying. Firstly the weather is crap, going to have thunderstorm clouds going around,which means will be very turbulent not good to fly in. Secondly, having a little weird feeling in tummy... and not to mention the weather is not going to help again... we'll see then. Still have 2 hours to "settle-down" =P CHeers

Another weekend... wondering how many more weekends am i going to be spending here? Hopefully not more than 8 more. Trying hard to get my ass back in Singapore before a year here. haha =P

2 more flights to my P-check then a couple more then will be flight test. OMG... no time. Scary actually. Feeling so unprepared. Especially true cos i did badly for two flights, luckily the my last flight on friday went on pretty alright. Tomorrow will be doing another one. =)

Oh.. speaking of the previous flight. For the first time, I felt sick inside the aircraft. @_@ Wondering whether was due to weather or just me.?? In the en-route segment out, i was already feeling a little unwell. Reached cunderdin did a couple of let-downs with practice engine-failure. And getting bumped around like mad.. the wind that day was crazy! 40kts gusting.. and not helping much with the hold, and topping up with me feeling unwell. @_@ but surprisingly, i did better.. haha... maybe previous flight think too much into stuff.. this time round too sick to think and just do. =P Was still able to endure till going to perth for the ILS, thats where i thought i was going to puke my guts out. Took off the hood and i was breaking into cold sweat, even with the cold air blowing at me.. @_@ miserable. Just did one ILS and came back for landing. Coming back encountered two windshear! Damn scary wind. nearly max out the cross-wind limitations. gusting 20-35kts.. and when i landed, then saw that i was the only aircraft out operating, the rest was all on ground.. haha.. lucky me eh =P On the ground i rushed myself to the toilet, but somehow nothing to puke... hmmm dehydrated?? air-sick?? weather?? eat the wrong food? no breakfast? maybe is just a bad combination of everything.

Come to think of it, i'm not exactly at the best of my health state since coming here. .@_@ too weak. =P

Today was so bored that i decided to cook something to eat for dinner. Asked around and got "6 customers" LOL. Menu: ShangMee (But forgot to take picture) aiyah ... and my friends were asking me to make dumpling as well.. haha.. cos we missed out on the dunpling festival few days back. But ultimately decided not to, cos too troublesome to make. =P Next time if make then will take pics of it. =P

Then over dinner was asked to join in the DOTA nite. Is a internal DOTA compeition.. cos not enough players, short of 3 to make 4 teams of 5. my team for the first round lost, cos 3 of us got randomed to "dun know how to use character" haha...@_@ but second round we pawned them.. haha...lucky lucky! so much added to the "happening" day of my life =P

Blog in another time. Time to prepare for my tomorrow's flight. Cheers! Have a good weekend everyone!

Before you folks start asking me where have i disappeared to for the past two weeks.. let me explain that. 3 factors that lead to this "seldom blog" syptoms.
1. My lappy decided to pull a stun on me and had to replace the whole motherboard.. resulting in me not being able to come online.
2. We have gardening duties over here performed by different junior courses, and someone decided that while digging a hole to chop out internet cable into two. Resulting in no internet for a week plus almost, as we have to replace the whole section of it. And all thanks to gardening eh... sigh.. why can't they tell the difference between worms and cables @_@
3. Talk about luck, we have a massive power down. For 1.5 days. No electricity at all. Winter and with the combination of no heater. you take a guess. I take preference of the heater than internet then. haha...and it happened over the weekend. And not to say the "hard-workingness" if theres such word.. Taking then 1.5 days just to restore the power...OMG. Welcome back to the Dark Age.

Okay... so what have i been up to recently since theres so many "unlucky" stuff happening. Guess theres countless times of you ppl hearing me saying that over here is dead boring. Same old complains once again. Nothing to do. City is pretty dead at night even on weekends. And sad to say.. i did visit the casino serveral times. No so much to gamble but to spend the time. Playing and winning enough for me week's meal is definitely enough for me. But as they say, you win some lose some. Yup, i lost too, but overall still in the green. Theres was this time i lost $100 on the table but lucky i struck a jackpot $104, still went back home with a small winning of $4.. hee.. better to leave then. And we usually go over the weekend, cos theres a club there. Can have some "eye-candies" too =) As for a personal feel, i think i've been going to the casino way too often, i'm afraid that i'll get "addicted" to the trill of gambling.. so have to stay clear for a while.

As for my flying here... things have not been going that smooth. Maybe using up too much luck in gambling eh.. for the last sim session and last flight, i totally screwed up. Though my instructor say i dun need to repeat those flights, but i know myself that it was not up to standard. Way Way out! could have kicked myself for that. I still can remember that after my last flight, i was sitting inside the aircraft with him chatting. He was asking me what happened? My performance dropped by a lot, considering that my previous two flights were above standard.... =( I was totally stumped. Seriously i need to pull my socks up and can't afford to drop. My next flight and sim session have to prove it to him. Have been practising those procedures and RT calls. Hopefully will be of help for the next one.

Ok ok .. thats about all for now. Cheers! And a Happy Dumpling Festival!

For the past few days, i could have been considered as a morning person. =P Beening waking up at 7am or even earlier for my flights and sim sessions... Just like today. Had breakfast.. which is another rare event for me.. haha.. cos i usually have brunch instead. I'm more of a night person if you ask me or my friends who know me for sometime... and frankly.. been having problems zzzzz early for these early mornings.. waking up tired and not enough rest. I tried not to take afternoon or evening naps so i'll get tired at night to facilitate my zzzz at night.. guess what.. nope. I ended so tired in the evening, just like yesterday that i dozed off.. haha..5 mins of eye resting became an hour plus nap =P

Oppss.. guess so much for my plans. Hopefully i can last it out tonight.. =) Cheers!

Guess nowadays i'm so bored that theres nothing much going on in my life. Wonder thats good or bad. Peaceful.. maybe. No ups and downs...yet. Nothing much to say about my boring lifestyle. And it sucks while just waiting for time to pass.... need to find some excitement in life i guess.
