1st Flight

Very very happy today!! ^^
cos I finally did my sortie 1 (and in the rain too hehe that was so fun)

OMG if I had to cancel my sortie 1 for the 2nd time i think i'll just knock my head against the wall la...

and i was so lucky because we took off just before it started raining, and once we are out there we can't go back, so we flied and flied and TADA!!! I think I'm one of the few ppl who actually managed to complete the training (most of it anyway).

and i saw like 4 reservoirs at the same time!?!?! Which finally dawned to me that Singapore is a VERY VERY SMALL place. I mean, you are seeing 4 reservoirs + Ang Mo Kio Yishun Sembawang and Causeway at the same time. that's like 1/4 of Singapore!!!

yeah, and I think that my instructor is a really nice guy. although I'm still like super nervous and I forgot the 2nd half of the checks, I didnt that a scolding like I thought I would have gotten. I mean even I think that i didnt do very well. (maybe I'm a little perfectionist after all haha). but anyway, I think that having a strict instructor makes you learn faster and it's actually quite good IF you study properly.

but still, what I'm trying to say is, when you are airborne and you look down and you see all those matchbox like stuff, you really get a feel of how small and minute you are, and it really makes you feel paiseh that all you worry everyday is whether you get 14/15 or 15/15 for you physics worksheet, and how many ppl scored better than you in the class. Yeah, so although I hope with all my heart that I will make it through the end, even if I have to be kicked out (which is a 21/23 probability), i think that at least this experience makes me gain a better perspective (hmm sound like Lang Arts) and well, I have a big takeaway!!! haha i hope I am not preaching here...

and flying there makes you REALLY want to get your PPL, like desperately want to get the PPL. I dont why, maybe because I'm perfectionist or sth, but I hate to give up things halfway. And I did not just anyhow applied for this course without thinking, I really thought a long time about it and stuff. So yeah, I decided that if I can get in PPL I will bake lots of cookies and share them with everyone. XD
