duty on saturday. it wasn't that bad. i quite enjoyed it actually. the cadets were all nice people. and this cadet already completed his degree in aviation! i obviously talked to him about his course. he spent close to a whopping 100k on his course and accomodation man. flying fees included. sigh. immediately told my mom about it and she was like "see first." since her friend went for an aviation course at a french flying school.

next morning, i was yahoo-ing and found this website for pilot enthusiasts set up by this senior pilot who looks singaporean. practically spent the whole morning surfing everything there. from how the interview for sia cadet pilots are done, what to expect, salary scale and all. i was told by that aviation grad that a very very senior sia pilot easily earns up to 600k per annum! oh my god.

i'm really really lost now! it's now i decide my path. one, i can do my degree then apply for the cadet pilot position. two, i can skip my degree and try applying now. but what if sia starts retrenching people come the trough of an economic cycle? i'll be at risk.

went back to my mom's kampung yesterday. it was this town an hour's drive from jb. so apparently, this distant grandmother was one of the 4 wives of some guy and my maternal grandma's her cousin. so we went to see her lah. then my uncle was asking where's her husband and her reaction was like "hmph. -starts folding hands and crossing one leg over the other-" haha! damn cute lah. she's like 80+? most of her teeth are gone and she's amseniac. sigh. scary thought.

okie. this is gonna get complex. my maternal grandma's one of my grandpa's wives. i think he has 3. anyway there's this lady in the same town we went to who has his child. we used to go there quite often, till like 5-6 years ago? so my mom said we'll go there soon! yayness.

saw a freaking lot of singapore cars there lah. cny and all. so on the way back, we turned to this ulu ulu road which the sign claims will lead to the second link. so my mom's car and aunt's car turned. so like a minute into that road, my cousin, who was driving the car, started u-turning cuz the road was damn ulu! so my mom also u-turned. then we started going back to the main road. then we saw singapore cars travelling on that road! so we u-turned again. haha. tsk. malaysian roads! the same thing happened on the highway! malaysian roads tend to have only ONE directional sign. so like say "turn right to second link", so u turn right, and along that road there won't be a sign saying "second link, straight". grr.

fashion nono's. was out today for a while to causeway point with dearest mommy. amidst the many reds, noticed quite a few fashion booboo's. first, i saw this guy wearing a coat with jeans and some tee and fugly sneakers. hello?! don't even think u can pull that look off when u're not lee ryan or becks. second, was on the train and this girl was wearing some pongpong short red skirt, black thigh stockings and white heels. hello?! tt is so wrong. third, never wear lacey panties under hipsters! they're not supposed to show god. what is wrong with you singaporeans?!

oh anyway. my 21st! haha. dunno how i'm gonna celebrate it also. but my mom already told me what my present will be! omg. i can't wait! =D

3 more weeks. and i'm done! oh yes, one of my longest post in eons yeah? haha.

in the previous post i blogged about my stolen wallet. well, have i told you about the other thief? bloody swine stole my pants which i hung outside to dry! and i only wore it twice! freak. told my dad about it and he said my stepmom once saw his clothes somehow got to the staircase at the end of the corridor. hmm. whoever you are, i curse that you'll have rabies and a head full of lices that you'll bald soon even yunnam can't save it. argh. so down on my luck these past few weeks!

shopping with my mom last week. she got herself another pair of shoes. [i can safely say that if she's ever gonna go bankrupt, it's her many many shoes seriously!] and i got another pair of pumas! hah. think she's rubbing off some of her imelda marcosism to me? i'm just hoping those pumas are not a case of impulsivity. heh. and there are so many things i wanna get. like a watch, a new bag, the 7370, more clothes...

sent in my appeal to nus the week before, thinking that i'd have better chances since the results are not even out. they called me last week. nope, not to call me down for an interview, but to tell me that i can only appeal after the posting results are out. which probably means it'll be in like may/june? bah. and in last week's recruit was sia's advertisement for cadet pilots. my dad was like "why not you try to apply? then i'll get your aunt to help you." haha. think i'll do just that! again.

made a promise to myself to brush up on my french fundamentals. i'll do just that these 2 weeks since there isn't a class next saturday. i so am.

there was this much talked about bb gathering yesterday. even my friend was like "they must have invited the whole school since even you're going and i'm not!" right. class ended at 5.30pm, spent $4 on the brownies at the sch's cafe which is kinda nice just to kill some time. reached bt timah at like 6.20pm, the meeting time wasnt till 6.45pm. waited till 7.30pm and no one was there! grr. and meet them i did not, headed home i did.

took the bus home. and soon enough, these group of kids boarded and 3 of them squeezed into 2 seats next to me. i didn't mind that they were noisy. but the girl next to me had this unpleasant smell! god. i think it's her hair or something. grr. i got so pissed that i shifted seats. she's like 7 and stinks. eiu.

sunday. slack. dvds. frenchies. toodle y'all! and mel, happy 21 and 1/365th! ;)

it's payday. but i'm not happy. and i got an increment of 20 bucks too. but i'm still not happy! why? cuz i freaking lost my wallet! argh. i vividly remember putting it into the pocket of my bag, together with my dogtag, on saturday night before i slept. assuming it was in there all the while, i never checked till sunday night, when i realised it was gone. called my dad and he said it isn't my room! argh.
it's either some guy from camp stole it, or it fell outta my bag on my way to camp. my pay's not gonna be spent on shopping and food, but replacing all the necessary documents. bloody hell. i hope the thief falls so hard on his face, his face so badly disfigured cosmetic surgery still makes him fugly and his dick gets eaten up by some flesh-eating bacteria. grr.

this female dxo [civilian officer working] in my unit is one bloody biatch. i'm helping her do this big big favour by lightening her work burden and she's not the least appreciative. freaking hell. she's like on constant bloody pms lah! [no pun intended] its like i'm using her account to do her job. and this guy is gonna take over her job but he hasnt gotten his account yet and she's like "oh i dont wanna let u use my account anymore. thanks." fucking go and die lah biatch. and my superiors! cant they be more understanding?!

that aside, had my first french lesson at alliance francaise. kinda enjoyed myself. my tutor looks totally asian, but his surname's benoit? and his english is totally freaked up, just like the french. lol. oh! and this uncle classmate of mine said i speak quite good french lah. haha. which reminds me, when i was reading this sentence, the guy turned to look at me not once but twice! like what's your problem? jealous i speak fluent french? basket. it's not those friendly looks definitely. and please dont wear hipsters, no one wants to see ur buttcrack. eew. how disgusting.

am finally done with my appeal letter to nus. i'm quite pleased with the final one after some editing done by my friends. [thanks mel, cha, zac, alvin and dan!] gotta send it in like now before the results are released!

this year, i promise to be more thrifty [gotta think of ways to earn more so i can spend more and save more], be more hardworking [uni's starting soon!], start my driving [i so am!], and not slacken on my fitness [i'm not gonna get fat, not gonna get fat, not gonna...].
