9V-BOJ, Skylark 89

AH ! just came back from first sortie, flew for a 0.8 instead of 0.5, got delayed by ATC. Went there, got my T pass and locker keys, went to look for instuctor sim ck (must remember his name, cannot spell wrongly again, so embarassing). I thot first sortie would be like pretty relaxing, cause a lot of my course mates were like "ok la, like joyride, instructor very nice, very lenient" but mine is like the complete opposite! oh man...my instructor was so fierce!!! and so serious...he ask me to do so many things! he told me to adjust the trimmer without looking down, i wanted to tell him that i can't locate the trimmer without looking down...but he was like so scary so i just anyhow push anything i felt! oh man...then he flew around areas alpha and bravo to let me see the landmarks, wah...totally confused after all the diff places, gotta watch the cd-rom again! but damn, my speaker is dead! how to watch???!!! argh...and then after location of the landmarks, he tried the +ve and -ve Gs to see if i had any air sickness...nothing happened so good, no air sickness!
The flight debrief was really stressful he keep testing me...AH!!! why my first sortie so diff from others???!!! wonder how Kien Yong did...since he is under instructor sim too! must ask him on Saturday...so stress man, on the way home i keep reflecting on what i did...i even went to popular to buy the handy ring book(really small) to write my flight notes so i can study every minute every second !!! next flight must improve...
But after all the bad stuff, hahahahahhahahahhahaaha the air traffic controller for my plane was er...quite nice la hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha (YuHui don't laugh, just a passing remark) ya, esp the salute! haha quite funny, but very...how to say, very...smart! haha wait till the day i have controll then i can salute back hahaha (today is instructor sim salute) ok, i must concerntrate on my next flight, no more air traffic controller business...not in my job scope, should just care about flying...
Back to sch...ok POM ICA was really quite...tough i must say, luckily i woke up at like 6.30 am today to study, if not i will really die! friday would be stats then tuesday econs then thursday poa then HOLIDAY !!! for a short short time only...but better then nothing, gonna brush up my flying skills man! must make an impression! must fly well!
Oh ya! today i saw this whole group of pple in syfc going for their interview...haha early this year i was in their shoes too! i felt seniority...haha cannot be too proud cause i also dunno alot of things...on the way out i met sheng yi haha she's gonna fly 4th wave, then she asked me how was my flight, then i just said that my instructor very fierce...haha hope she does well la, can't wait for saturday! mass briefing...can meet everyone again, can exchange experience! gotta really ask Kien Yong how his flight went man...
