and then I went ACE with jiahui on Saturday to find out more bout Flight Engineer (FE) and the answer I’ve got isn’t really nice

” oh, FE.. Currently we don’t have opening for FE (together with her act sad and emo face) and maybe you wanna try Snr Tech cause ultimately you can cross over to FE when there’s opening in the future or even better as an Air Engineering Officer if you plan to pursue an engineering degree and we can provide you with Local Study Award.”

So in conclusion, the trip wasn’t very fruitful afterall, but at least jia hui manage to get his answers :

PS: I was with him listening,

” basically if you want to be a pilot, you have to sign on with a bond of 12 years. *we open our eyes big and raise our eyebrow* yes 12 years. 2 years of training in australia, 10 years of flying in singapore. *we open our eyes big and raise our eyebrow even bigger and higher* You will go through the normal BMT like others at tekong before going to OCS for your common leadership and going to Brunei. you will complete your third stripe in Australia where you will get your wings and be commission as a pilot. Of course you have to take your compass test and air grading. the compass test only last for two years. “

” okay basically how we do it is that CMPB will give us the list of names of the pre-enlistees. from there we will select 500 to come down for their vocational assessment. we’ll then shortlist 100 to go through our diver’s course which is about 9 months, after which you will pass out from the course with the rank of a corporal if you are a diploma holder.

of course if you want to be an officer, that is possible too. because we will select a few from the cohort to go through the leadership training in OCS. that is mainly the case for nsf. if you want to sign on however, you may want to try my route. i first sign on as a naval specialist, combat. after a few years, you will be eligible to convert over to NDU. if you did not recieved the letter, dont worry, another way is you go through the normal BMT in tekong, from there, express your interest and sign on with the navy. go through OCS, and become an officer. after a few years, you’ll be able to convert over to NDU. ”

and yeah, both of us agreed that the diver is cute. Must be the pure oxygen they have been breathing doing the trick.

Aaron, please look on the brighter side, I still have space for mattress in my room. Seriously. LOL

I hardly/rarely get angry i don’t like it when i do although i can manage my anger pretty well.

I don’t go on a rage, i don’t explode (although i would like to), I implode.

I’ve got my results for previous semester (semester 2) and although it was way better than semester 1, it slightly went down on the cumulative cause I did alot better back in Year 1.

And YES, right now I feel like imploding at myself.

im feeling you

screw

Screw that taxi driver! For me almost crashing into that backhoe loader because of you!

east to west x 2!

W00t! It’s been a month since I last updated. School holidays have started, CNY is over, Vday is over!

I’m halfway through my holidays, I’m not working and I kinda like the feeling of this. Gives me a long break before I start the hectic third year flooded with projects and meeting. And I’m not slacking or rotting my life away, trying to find fun and meaningful activities to do. Okay, maybe less on that meaningful.

I’ve signed up for Sundown and the route isn’t very motivating

The red track is enough to kill and demoralise you. Its a straight path, roughly the distance of the runway next to the airport and you can never see the end. Its like standing by the beach and looking at the horizon. I’ve no idea how am I gonna die with my 3 other friends.  Let’s just hope we don’t run till Kembangan MRT and start heading back home.

I spent Vday with 6 other guys doing night cycling! How fun!

We started off from East Coast Park -> Tanjong Rhu -> Stadium Road -> Nicoll Highway – > F1 pit stop  -> Marina South -> Marina Barrage -> Shenton Way -> VivoCity -> Pasir Panjang Road -> West Coast Park -> Pasir Panjang Road -> VivoCity -> Shenton Way -> F1 Pit Building  -> Nicoll Highway – > Stadium Road -> Tanjong Rhu -> East Coast Park

We clocked 58km! We see group datings at Tanjong Rhu and teenager doing the chicken dance, couples and families at Marina Barrage, quarrelling couple at HarbourFront Centre over money and alcohol. LOL. It’s 1 whole night of  our dear Riduan lost track of us at ECP for near 1 hour, exciting journey of committing offences,  near road accidents and crashing into poles and fences, seeing 1 Honda Fit driver passing by you and when you see him infront, he’s being stopped for drink driving, uncle riding on electric bicycle going up slope on Nicoll Highway and slowly go pass us while we pedal our life away.

The most important lesson learnt? PLEASE APPRECIATE  YOUR CUSHIONED SEAT. And if you don’t know how to. You can try our cycling routes.

Seems like our elite foreign workers is feeling rich on the last day of 2008!

the story of john

John was employed by A company during this vacation and spend about 3 months working there till school reopens. Subsequently, he was sought by the same employer during a short break and spend 2 weeks there. However, he felt that he wasn’t productive enough during his stay at the company but his employer was pretty pleased with his performance.

So how?

Christmas is over and soon comes 2009. So what is your new year resolution? Have you even thought of any?

This year countdown to Christmas was a wet down, extremely wet. Was pouring heavily and the mood I guess was somewhat dampen. HA! Stayed at home the whole day on Christmas day, unbelievable. The mood at Orchard was somewhat pretty high but it attracted way too much people till it became very congested.

Finally my acer is back on my desk, but the performance is beyond words. I seriously don’t know what happen it’s like living off the life support machine like WOW who would expect this to happen. I reckon it will fail me again anytime soon and then… IM ANOTHER STEP CLOSER TO MACBOOK!  jeng jeng jeng

Had my 20th birthday on Saturday, Thanks for the the well wishes, gifts and surprises people. Appreciated. Really! Thanks people!

And congrats to Md Riduan for being awarded the Falcon Company Best Recruit eh. I’m still waiting for my Sakura treat. Uh potential OCT.

My knee haven’t been very cooperating for the past few days, maybe it’s time to have a regular maintenance of WD-40 or some industrial lubricant and I haven’t been running cause of my knee.

I’ve started my holidays like finally! No more work! No more hassle of checking mailbox every now and then, clearing junk mail etc etc. This week of holidays is pretty much of an entertainment week. Watch movies, listen to mind blasting songs, yeah, mind blasting, my never ending CSI(s) and chinese drama. There are still so many books I wanna buy but there’s also an equal amount of book left on the shelf unread totally and my shopping at Ikea for bookshelves is making no progress. Its like, having the intention of buying bookshelves and sub consciously walking into the restaurant and going home empty handed with a stomach-full of meatballs and chicken wings.

And to boyboy, thanks for bringing us to the barbeque yesterday. And the question still remains,  Why were we there at the barbeque, and why are we even going there to begin with?

Only you know the answer la boy.
