TaboO!






Heyall!

Wet for the past few days and Scott was down due to ear infection. Something life changing occurred just few days ago, I am SO FUCKING happy.

This is the wine I was raving so much about! Can die..
Will give Weisiang some when he arrives in Perth in Jun.

Also, we played 'Taboo' yesterday! It was so freaking funny I swear. We almost brought the roof down! Well in short, my group consisting of me, Gary, Kenneth, Jo, TK won! WOOOooo! TK didn't even have to play his turn for the last round! So it was my turn to present to my mates the word 'Dragon'. I asked, 'What is the opposite of phoenix?".. No one knew... And so i asked again, "What is the mystical chinese creature?".. Gary answered, "Chicken?"... Someone PLEASE KILL ME! Such a lousy room mate I have! HelllO!! We need thinking pilots!
Funny how it is a lot easier when you bring the word out of the context. Especially when the word has two meanings.

Okay enough of that buggar..
Edmund, Jab and I sold our dear 95' Honda and bought a 2.5L 95' Mazda 626 with V6. Higher fuel consumption leh. Edmund said it is equivalent to his Evo back home! Which means a gas truck has to follow us wherever we go. Yikes.

This gourmet meat shop down at Garden City has some decent sashimi! Bought some back to try and verdict... Fresh and Good! Then Ed asked if I could taste difference between a regular soy sauce and a premium Japanese one. I said of course! Now he wants to make a bet and see if I live up to my words. Bring it on!

Smoky haze




Had a college quiz two nights and guess what.. Our batch (Badshape) came in 2nd! We were so close to the winning team which was made up of who else but the instructors of course (spits). They only won because they assume a ball of crushed paper as 'the ideal plane' we had to build and of course it 'flew' further than ours. Then again the lousy rules laid down didn't specify if the 'ideal plane' should have wings or not...

Played a game of risk last night with the gang and weeeee... I won again! Think some of the guys are starting to get pissed with me because I ALWAYS flaunt my victory. Had a few drinks too with the game, which happened to be the beer intended for my post-solo flight celebration. 'Emu mid-strength', smooth and not too strong.

It was such a good laugh yesterday when I went to Carousel with TK and Ed. We incidentally stumbled upon the 'can-die' wine we were selling our souls for and we went NUTS! There were I think two bottles left in Perth and we were hanging on to it like a sacred relic. Makes me thirsty just thinking about it.

Breezy afternoon today in Perth. Ops duty went well as I only have to refill ONE a/c. Smoke haze in the area and was RVFR. Might just have a game of MJ with the gang later.

Posted some recent pictures. One of which is taken during community service at Hays Street with Jab. The other one was taken with the a/c that I gave my 1st to..

A brand new day

Hey Yall!

Finally a virtual space to express myself and let out some steam! Kudos to whoever came up with this blogging thing.

Been away for more than 2 months already. First thing I miss about home (sorry ma pa and friends), is my dog! Called ma the other day and she told me pa was CLOSE to hitting boy for something wrong he did. Just as pa raised his hands simulating a tight slap, boy let out a loud baby-like 'OooUU'. Smart ass. Ma was laughing over the phone the other day.

Life here in Jandakot is relaxing, less the flying checks of course. Well I'm not complaining really, having gone this far. We get to plan our flights, though at the mercy of the weather. It can be really sucky at times when you're all really to fly and the weather is here to stay. Days not flying are spent well at the gym, playing DOTA with the guys, drinking wine (freaking affordable can-die wine) with some cheese in, playing risk and monopoly and watching movies. It is a lot quieter here in Perth compared to the other major Aussie city. Sometimes we get so bored we end up forfeiting and entertaining each other over alcohol! What a life I have..

Today is Tuesday and... Yes, pizza day! Yup, A$5 for a large pizza (xtra $2 if ya want chicken). I had the 'Hot and Spicy' from Pizza Hut, full of chilli and peppers! What can I say, yum.
Dropped by the Liquor Land for the second time since yesterday and my ALL TIME FAV wine has yet to arrive! Its so good that it has been swept clean of the shelves. How much per bottle you may ask, A$5.99. Please make our shower taps here run the 2005 north west victoria merlot can?

Today FINALLY clear my solo on the C172, after all the bad weather! Will post pictures and comments soon. Thanks Hoong Ji for making me pose for nothing..

Tomorrow there's a dual flight early in the morning, have to turn in early tonight.

Ciao
