Commenced!

The time has come to reveal what I had been doing for the last 20 months. Finally I had graduated (or commenced) from Singapore Flying collge to SIA as a cadet pilot. These 20 months of training had been much of a challange to me - financially(a major paycut for mi), morally(the dos and don'ts in the aviation industry), physically(the incapability to differentiate between weekdays and weekends), mentally(prior preparation prevents piss*** performance), emotionally(homesick, relationships are challenged upon), etc.

It had been alot of ups and downs for mi. Throughout the training, I had sensed that I had matured to the next level - thinking ahead, thinking out of the box, thinking of things around mi. Hope that I had not become a complex guy, still is a guy who wants the simplest things in life - live happily, eat happily and smile happily.

Ups
I finally made my mark to continue as a pilot, but be rest assured that there is always room for improvement; met my guys in course 98, tremondously strong support from my wife, Huimin; continuous renewed friendship from our friends; joy of making the sky my home; fortunate to be given a chance to fly; Good decisions made at the toughest time

Downs
Not clearing my first solo; wait to rush, rush to wait; homesick; study and fail exam; uncertainities; challanges;


Myself and Huimin

Like to take this opportunity to thank Huimin / Min for all the big and small things that she had done for mi - my soulmate, my wife and my pillar of support for the last 2 years. Working overseas is tough for mi, but it is even harder for Huimin back in Singapore. Not easy, not easy....

Aliying
P.S - This is not the end. I had commenced on my next phase of training
