Personally, my favourite is Jasmine green tea. =)

Anyways, for ppl who wanted to try tea without caffine. try this combi.. i've taken a liking for it:

Chamomile, spearmint, lemon grass, rosebuds, rather nice blend. Cheers!

The title is nothing i guess... just something that went thru my mind all of a sudden. Anyway, been about a week since my last entry. What do i have to update? hmmm....

I'm still awaiting for my P-check. Been about a week plus le. Speaking of P-check. We have 2 good instructors leaving... sigh... there goes the hope or the "light" @_@ Not exactly good news eh.

Just a few hours back, we send off two of my coursemates back Singapore. One cleared his flight-test, the other got terminated. Strictly speaking, he is the first casuality of our course. Not a very good feeling. Especially when we are so near the end of training. And i believe each and everyone of us have given up a lot of things just to be here. One and a half year of time/opportunity/money/etc.. much more things are lost. Just the lost time itself is unrecoverable. I sincerely hope that he will be fine and all the best.

Come to think of it, is scary. No promise, No security. Thats life. Or should i say thats the life i've choosen so far. No turning back.

Its 3.40am now. Still very much awake. Maybe is the "late in the night" thingy.. kinda emotional now.... been thinking a bit. Is been sometime since. Maybe just wanna write it down somewhere. Or maybe hope that i might just read this entry next time. Funny? I did write to myself before... sort of to remind my future me. Maybe thats what diaries are for eh.. to remind ourselves of what happened.

11 months and 2 days ago: I left Singapore for Perth. I started my training. I was full of energy then. Wanting to give it all to go back Singapore ASAP. Just like a clear road, all i have to do is run and make it back.

10 months and 2 days ago: A month in Perth. Lifes great! At least there something that i look forward to everyday. Even though i had a "heavenly" instructor, i still something to look forward to do everyday. Or rather i think.

9 months and 2 days ago: Mood was Crap. Lost. Something that i thought was near and yet far. Had but not yet...

8 months and 7 days ago: Had to spend my birthday alone this year. Not that i celebrate them ... just something a little different.

Interim Period: As usual, lost and having some crappy thoughts here and there. Life moves on.

4 months and 8 days ago: Possibly the worst day of my stay here. Dun ask me why.

Today: Maybe is the late in to the night thingy as i've mention. Been thinking what have i achieve so far? Do i know what i want? How far am i to my dreams? ....yet again asking myself these questions. For you who know what i'm saying.... Yes.

Sometimes i also wonder if you are read this crap that i'm writing.. haha.. whatever. Is late eh......

Since the last entry on this blog.. thats when i last flown. Been a week. Kinda scary actually. Today, one of my course mates KL cleared his flight test, which means he is going home. I felt happy for him, but at the same time i question myself: What the hell am i doing? Felt so restless, felt so lost. Is not a good feeling. The gap between flights have been way too long. Some may even say aiyah.. only a week. Yes agreed... But I"M NOT YOU! Everyone have a different threshold for the gap... and i dun particularly like the week plus gap. Anything more than a week to me is not a good news. Guess is just me ranting away... Can't say i'm ace, i'm just average: thats why. Confidence level?? Hmmmm.... is not that i can't handle it well, just the procedures gets in my way somehow when i dun practice it often enough...whatever whatever.. too much restlessness in me to be tamed for now.

Today had a flight. After almost 2 weeks of waiting.. and finally a flight, but i have to screw up. @_@ not very NICE eh. =( So where did i screw up?? In the NDB part. Usually thats not where i face the most problem with. But today... GOD Knows why i did it? Winds are stronger: Yes, but is still not an excuse! Not anymore! Errghhh.. real irritated with myself when i got back... even if my instructor ask me to go ahead to sign up for my P-check, i seriously will doubt myself. Sigh.... Basically this time round i did better for procedures, but the NDB part was way way way way OUT! Everything was generally okay according to him except for that. Maybe repeating this flight is a good choice since some of my fellow coursemate have problems with the NDBs for their P-check. Now all i can say is hope for the best, and my next flight have to be good. Sure dun wanna disappoint my instructor and myself anymore. Dun know whether you people know.. hes so nice that i feel bad for flying badly @_@

Okay.. enough of my whining and complaining.... Just came back from the movies anyway.. sort of "calming" myself down. Watch the Transformers! COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! Graphics great! Storyline is not too bad. Ended rather well in a way, unlike some crap movies. And above all, to bring back my childhood entertainment memories in a different way. Anyway, try catch it on movies if you ppl have not watch it yet. My personally rating: 8.5/10 =) Cheers!

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story :
(1) Not everyone who sh*ts on you is your enemy
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of sh*t is your friend
(3) And when you're in deep sh*t, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story : Bulls*** might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?"
The eagle answered: "Sure, why not."
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story : To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up
