Flying Experience Madness...

Entering Sofitel Hotel...

Pic(above): after looking around the hotel for a while, Ms Linda call our names out to give us the hotel card key.

Pic(above): i saw this thing above me. I said to myself ,"a bar..wow..i've never had a drink in a bar before, maybe drink orange juice or something..lol". i was hoping to have a drink in a bar one day but dun bother much about it.

Pic(above): To my surprise, Mr mohan wanted to treat us a drink to the bar. We didn't ask for it but he just want to treat us.Hehe! what a day... but he also treat some of the year 3 in the pic below.



Next morning, we have to wake up at 5:30am because at 6am, we are suppossed to have our breakfast. To eat breakfast at 6 am? can you imagine? So early..

Pic(above): the team of the day


Pic(above): this is a room where they will first tell us what to do then, keep telling us about safety. safety, safety...

Pic(above): As we we walking towards the tarmac, this is the first thing that capture my eye.

it's written so damn big..

if i stand like 5 metres away, i think i can still see the words. HAH.

Pic(above): we are given a checklist. Everyone in my team were moving around the plane and do the checking together. So, we have to check every part of the plane is working, check the fuel level, no leaking...etc..

Pic(above): the flying instructor showing us how to check fuel level of a Cessna.

Pic(below): refuelling a Piper Warrior...

Pic(below): this is where there are tons of fuel here. this thing is like Caltex for planes, where they get fuel for refuelling....

Pic(above): giving us some insights about what is inside the Piper Warrior plane.

Pic(above): checking if the fuel is contaminated with water

Pic(above): Ladies first!..hehehe...we fly first..yeah..

Pic(above) : Aircraft instruments...Any instruments look familiar to you?

We fly to Kota tinggi at about 1.5 feet

Pic(above): when we were about to take off, we have to stand by because the A380 is landing and then it take off again.

I heard that there are students in that A380 who are learning to fly, take off and land the A380. So, they are having their training here.

Pic(above): My closest pals during the trip,to my right is Maverick and to my left is Wolfman...
They are doing marshalling, some of us are doing flight planning....

Pic(above): after doing all the flying, marshalling, etc...., we decided to relax for a while, chit chat and see planes and helicopter land and take off.

Pic(above): Went back to hotel, took a bath then went for our dinner.

After dinner, i decided to go to sleep coz i was too tired and have to complete the worksheet they gave to us.

I think some of the year 3 guys went to play bowling and pool...walao..

Pic (above): last day of the trip... we had to do our presentation... One guy got sick and so, all of the 4 teams have to present in 30 minutes.

So, the total time for all 4 teams to present is only 30 minutes. this is even faster than presenting in RP. hehe.

'Love' elective?...

Straits Times, 18 August 2008

"Love 101 proves top hit in class"

Pic(above): Topics such as cohabitation are part of the 'love' elective at the Singapore Polytechnic.

STUDENTS are falling for the 'love' elective offered at two polytechnics.


At Singapore Polytechnic (SP), 'Love relations for life - a journey of romance, love and sexuality' made the top 10 list of most popular general elective courses last year.


It is in such demand that the polytechnic has doubled the number of available places from 360 last year to 720 this year.

At Ngee Ann Polytechnic, close to 400 students have sat for the elective on 'Understanding relationships: love and sexuality', introduced last year.


These 'love' courses aim to teach students all about love and relationships.


Madam Sukie Tong, who teaches the elective at SP, told The Straits Times: 'The class is not about getting students to pair up, but teaching them relationship skills so that if and when they are in one, they can handle things better.'


Skills to resolve conflicts, and lessons on why men and women think and react differently are all part and parcel of the 15-week course, said Madam Tong.


She added: 'Students say their relationships improved after they took the elective, for example, as they realised the importance of giving their boyfriends more space.'

It is so pleased by the success of the 'love' electives that it now wants to extend them to junior college students, The Straits Times reported earlier this month.


But why are students rushing to learn about love? They are not as starry-eyed as you might think. The elective is easy to score in, say students interviewed.


Ng Zhi Xian, 19, said: 'I took the elective to get an A. All my friends who took the elective scored an A.'
As Madam Tong put it: 'Nobody has failed this elective yet. It's impossible to fail unless you don't do any work at all.'

My response: I think this is a good module as in it gives tips on how to resolve conflicts and such…

Of course, most students will get A lar!

if there were to have a first record of student failing this module, i think there is something wrong with the student.

But I’m sure that if I am one of the students there, I will be debating there in the love elective. I will agree to some things in this elective but not all of them.

For example, they encourage cohabitation. (cohabitation is when a couple decide to live together before they get married.)

Anything can happen during cohabitation period like what if teenage cannot control their temptations and resort to having sex …by then, it’s not love but just lust.

It is said that cohabitation helps to prevent divorce and such…

But I think cohabitation is not the only way to relsove conflicts but it is how well the couple communicate with each other, understanding, love, etc….

Just like in the movie ‘license to wed’…

in this movie, the couple cohabitate but at the end of the movie, what they realize is that all they have to do is to juz communicate to solve their problems.

Bro Bdae present...

I bought a perfume for my brother for his birthday.
Well, my mum was commenting,

“he has too many perfumes. Why buy perfume?”

Maybe she does not want me to waste money because

she knows I will skip my lunch just to save money. Opps..hehe.

Anyway, after I give the present to him, he kinda like it. He said,” adidas seh…waaah..”
Glad he like it.
Mum got jealous…hehe..alahai…then I tell her,” next year, your bdae, I buy for you also lar..”

Saying goodbye to E45K....

Gosh...can't believe that i'm writing this post while listening to the song "Goodbye" by spicegirls...haha..EMO..

I remembered I wrote about my first week in school…and guess what now..

Maybe because the people in class is having so much fun together that didn’t realized time flies so fast.
These are E45K Moments…

At Mcdonalds....

I still remember when I first come to this class…
Most of the guys in the class know each other already…I think they know each other from the SEG camp.

I know ain from airshow and I know jade from my last sem classmate.
But still we were not so close yet.

But becoz the guys bond so well, we gurls also bond very well…
And we share a lot of secrets! Ahha..shhh…

after watching movie, i accompany ain coz she is waiting for her father to fetch her.

Actually, i wanted to go home but reluctant to leave her alone.

So, we sit at Mcdonalds and she went to buy sundae. While she was buying sundae, i was busy typing my RJ, too engrossed with RJ.

Suddenly, someone asked " escuse me ma'am, are u busy with ur work?"
