Reviving a Dead Man's Chest!

I know it! This has always been a trend in my blog....Being dead and returning back to active one is no new drill to my blog! So here is my second wave of giving 'life' to something which you guys thought has been gone long by!

Looking back at my previous post, i realised that it has been over a YEAR since I last updated it! Can you believe!???? OVER A YEAR!! Alot of things has happened over the period of 365 days and mostly were good memories locked up in my memory bank for a long long time to come! But just to do some justice to others, Here is a little highlight on what happened, happening and going to happen in my life!:

First up, I finished my poly days a graduate! It felt more like a coronation after 3 years of fun, joy, excitement! Tertiary education life was never like what I expected it to be! Thanks to good friends and buddies made over these period! Graduation ceremony is on MONDAY! woo hooo! Looking forward to it! It was really a pleasant surprise to know that my school (RP) invited my secondary school form teacher to witness my graduation ceremony! OMG! It has been such a loooong time since I ever remembered about my secondary school days, and this is gonna be a rude awakening truly!!

Next up, work.... For all those who are wondering what I'm working as... Im actually continuing at the very place I was attached to during my internship period! At CAAS (Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore) based at the AIRPORT!! yipeee.. Okay.. for those who are not very aviation inclined. CAAS is the regulatory body for our aviation.. My work involves with Aviation Regulations and Personnel Licensing! Exciting as it is, Time also flies past as a breeze working at the airport!

Lastly! This is what I'm gearing up for all these days! A once in a lifetime opportunity to go serve my nation for 2 years in the Army! Yeap! Enlistment for my National Service is official! Its on the 10th June, at the Island paradise named Pulau Tekong! I did signed up for Airforce as a pilot and I'm done with all the stages - Aptitude Tests, Interview and Medical check up! Last hurdle, getting selected for OCS during my BMT! Oh god! So working towards it.. and still working!

I think thats about it for now , the main juicy things happening in my life for now! And yesss... I also misss my girlfriend alot.. yeaah... may sound like ANY typical boyfriend but seriously, I never have thought the feeling would be this overwhelming... and NS will be the ultimate test I put in my relationship! hahaha....

Till then cheers everybody!

Hahah.. yeap.. birthdays sometimes tend to be a sour reminder to the ever passing timeline which make you older..

It was such a day for my mummy yesterday when she surpassed her 'ahem' senior citizen age! LOL... but then again.. as fillial kids.. we did the usual routine.. bought cake feed each other.. cards and surprises.. Hugs and Kisses! WOOOTS!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMYY!!! I L O V E YOU!

Back with a Twist..

Ladies and Gentlemen..

Well.. its time to pack my bag and leave school.. as i was walking out of the very school compounds.. i had this nostalgic feeling as i walk out ending my title as a Year 2 student and soon ready to picking up the much coveted 'Final Year Student' lingo! WOO HOO!!

It was kind of mixed feeling crossed between, satisfaction and regret.. well.. whatever happen.. it happens

Reminds me of a quote:

"Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn. My God, do you learn." — C.S. Lewis

Why i find this quote applicable here? Well.. as time flies.. We sometimes forget our past..

Its like taking a walk by the shore on a beach.. With every silent wave that hits.. your footsteps get washed by... Those waves in life is time.. you move on and time erases your past but you've got to sit down and look back the track that got you so long.. because they say that teenage life is the best period in your lifetime... im living it now.. and it will soon be gone.. so i dun wanna miss it or waste it.. To me; ive learnt so far because of experience.. yes.. it was not kind to me.. but the thing is at the end of the day.. i learnt life...

I feel that im fortunate though... actually.. i should say.. im satisfied with my life as it is right now this instance.. i dun wanna be anyone else.. i wanna be me.. i like me.. hahaha.. narcisstic right.. hahaha


School has ended.. Its time i get a dosage on how cruel the working world can be.. im going out to experience the menace of the industry during my attachement at Changi Airport during the holiday.. well.. as i say.. experience is a brutal teacher.. but ill learn!

YABADABADOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Greetings to all my fellowship members!

Realized that my blog went into another hibernation mood for awhile.. Time to give a wake up call!

Couple of things happen again!

-Well of course im BACK from my Delhi trip.. Photos are still in editing process.. ill do a seperate update on the trip!

-IEp interview was over.. got into Changi Airport Group

-School is over.. But final round of UTs requires every last ounce of pounding energy!!

Op sucked as ever! I was soo irritated that i skipped school the last day after the pizza treat by my avionics Faci..

God Curse Roslan!

Uts... Well.. D&T was on saturday.. a pretty easy paper.. 1 down.. 3 more to go!

After that was off for Airshow with Sasi.. It was soo nice to spend time with her all the while.. it really gets me away from all those shit school feeling and it feels like nevada!! It was really kind of her to help me get the tix while i was away! Love you dearest!

Well.. we met up at wdls interchage right after UT to take our loong bus ride to changi.. Simon was a jackass and got scolded by a 'member of public' senior citizen somemore! HAIYOO!!!!

The order and crowd control for airshow was really impressive with not much gridlocks or bottlenecks occuring!
But the airshow itself was quite a disappointment.. maybe because i went it with high expectation..

The exhibition introduced new aviation companies but apparently the industry giants like Airbus and Boeing kept a low profile with small booths..

The static display was more of a USAF and eurpean business jet display then RSAF or Singapore commercial aviation.. but it was still a good treat..

The flying display was also a slight disappointment with only F-16, Ah-6, A-10 and M346 demonstrations.. maybe the morning one was good.. we missed it..

But overall it was still a good show.. Expect it to be better in 2012.. The weather was a real killer.. poor sasi got tanned.. but man.. you handle camera well!

After that back to the airport to see her classmates.. and we had some goodsome dinner and off we went home!

Hey Guys! Off too New Delhi for my India Republic Day camp..

Will be back on the 30th.. need to go there and bully the PM and president.. will come back with alot of updates and pics!
Cheers Guys!

E- Enough... F-Finish..





aiyooo!!! TODAY!! .. no no.. NOW!!! doing
Aircraft Fuel Systems.... OMG!! very very totally the sucks laaa...

-boring
-complicated
-confusing
-LAME!! hahahah


you know thinking about it...i recall something... you know Fuel Indicates has two indications "E" & "F"

The actual representation of that figures are

"E"- EMPTY tank
"F"- FULL tank..


but last time.. when i was young.. i repeat.. when i was Y O U N G!!!.... my interpretation used to be:

"E"- ENOUGH fuel in tank...
"F"- FINISH already the fuel in tank!!

DAMN!!!>>>> a secret that i should not have revealed to my class... LOL... it okay... ppl YOUNG make mistakes.. this was one of them....

A Shooting Star

"Tonight I lay under the midnight sky. Just as a shooting star catches my eye. I'm making wishes that I want come true. My favorite one is being here with you." - By Darien



I saw a shooting star today... and i made a wish... a wish that will come true!

On a windy day let's go flying
There may be no trees to rest on
There may be no clouds to ride
But we'll have our wings and the wind will be with us
That's enough for me, that's enough for me.

— Yoko Ono

This just makes my day!

New Year.

Greeetings felas!


2010 has arrived at our doorstep, (finally) and whether we like it or not we have to invite it inside to our house and usher it with much gratitude.. Well, this shows that time really flies and we dont have much control over the pace at which our lives are winding with it..

I just want to take this moment and reflect back at 2009; i believe that with each growing year, not only have i grown physically and aged but the mental acuity that follows hasevidently grown too... the way i look at things around me nowadays has seemed different from how i perceived them before.. They way i interact with people has also differed.. im more sensitive towards their feelings and emotions and that tends to put me in a different status.. maybe im not RETARDED raj afterall.. maybe just a normal plain old raj??hahaha.. but then again, it used to be my identity, ill just let it stay intact..

Just a run through synopsis of some significant events that happened in 2009:

-Started off with year 2 feeling like its a whole new great challenge -New class, new people, new perspective -Payed more attention to my course and got totally immersed into it. -A nice promotion in NCC. -New opportunities and visits around -some good eye opening experiences in aviation -My family. and definitely, the best thing that happened to me in 2009 was the fonding memory of meeting Sasi,... she just completes me in a way that i really cant describe and write down in words man!.. When everything sets around perfectly in you, the 'love bubble' just has to come in to complete me as a person, and that was exactly what she did in me! You COMPLETE me da! :)

Definitely there was lots of ups and downs, the journey wasnt really a very smooth one, but then again at the end of the day, the grass is greener on the other side! Lots of things to learn and learnt! Was a good year!

Well!!! enough of spilling things that has past, its time to move in to the new decade,... firstly my resolutions for the year:

#1: Wish to be a great soul for my special one, i wanna make US go further and higher #2: I wanna be a fillial son to my parents (sounds typical but HEY!! it takes effort!) #3: To maintain and improve on my GPA. #4: Keep in focus on aviation; to get as much contacts as possible, gain the knowledge #5: Driving licence!!! ( wanna go for those night rides) #6: Try to arrange better things for DCA. #7: Try to excel in FYP and IIP in year 3! #8: Catch Osama Bin Laden.

I went down to Esplanade on the 31st witness the countdown, it was
-crowded
-stuffy
-Irritating
-Pathetic
But then at the end of it all, the clock hit 12, the array of fireworks dissolved all the bad feelings i had when it filled the sky with radiance! AWESOME!!!

I had a HUGE surprise ystd... ok here is the deal: My initial plans on new year was to stay home till evening then meet up with sasi to go temple, then all of a sudden a change in plan totally caught me off guard, she rang me up and told me that her family bought 5 movie tickets and one of it was for ME!.. i was like "WHAT?! TODAY? with your mum?!" but i have to tell you! she was such a fine lady...caring, protective, loving everything that i wanted to be for sasi! it was just great! Next up, a meet with my mum! haha.. weeeeeeeeee!!

Till then , wishing everybody a very blessed new year wishes and good luck in your future undertakings yo!!

Cheers
Raj.

PS: -
-OMG!!! SCHOOL STARTING BACK LE!!!
-& resolution #8 isnt really true!
