MALACCA!!!!!!

wohoo! this morning i woke up, had breakfast at home, had lunch in malacca and then had dinner at home again.. wait wait wait.. how? WE FLEW THERE! =) hahahah at 0900 hours, two bright cheery yellow pipers took off from seletar for a nav trip to malacca.. heng, jackson and me together with instructor tan sk were in one plane while Lim Q j, lam wx together with instructors liew mh and sim ck were in another.. since there were three students in my plane, jackson took the front seat on the way there. heres heng and i looking like lil kids at the back..




the trip there was rather hot.. but then it started raining..



gosh you cant even see out the window! but of course, we have nav instruments to get us there. but it was nonetheless scary to fly through... anyway, after getting there, we had paranakan food! it was wow good... we had a lil shopping and then finished up at tan lee hock.. EVERYONE goes there when they go malacca.. hahaha..

anyway the return trip from there was even more exciting! wah piang.. hahah first thing we had to decide on was who was going to sit infront for the return leg.. jackson already had his turn so it was only btwn me and heng.. we decided on a scissors, paper, stone contest where the winner sits infront.. wah it was so close. we had 4 same throws of rock rock rock scissors and then i threw a paper, heng threw a rock. yes! i won! hahahah
i got to sit infront and i flew formation a lil bit.. this pic above is from lam which shows me in the front right seat flying to the side of them : ) man i tell you it takes ALOT of concentration to fly formation. my job was bacically to look at them and fly a constant distance from their aircraft. which meant alot of changes in power and heading... wah say it was tough.. it was also rather strange to fly on the right instead of the usual left during training.

it was a nice sight seing trip and we saw Mountains and meandering rivers from the air..


wow if only every week we got to do this = )

one thing i learnt from this trip besides nav was space.. or the lack of what singapore has.. so singaporeans, DONT DONT DONT ever pollute the lil bit of land that we have.. we're a green country so make it stay that way..
