i went for my first flight after 3 long years at syfc, where i got chopped off, well, old memories rushed back, and its kinda sad when the canteen auntie isnt there anymore, hahah. damn.
walking towards teh aircraft, doing checks seems so familiar all of a sudden, with raman as my instructor yday, we started the plane and headed out,
raman: hey, u puked yday ah?
junyan: yeah
raman: ok so today we will try some G manuveurs to make u get used to it
junyan: err...
so yeah, we did a super steep climb, before the instructor closed the throttle, fking 3 longest silent seconds of my life as the ground came rushing down from the cockpit. i was... having fun and also, experiencing those crazy G forces.
and so we did plenty of aerobatics, the worst was that free fall i talked about, and frankly speaking, i question myself, damn. did i sign up for this? LOL. its similiar to a roller coaster, just that, u can prolong the G period, and u can do whatever G manuveurs u wan, and last of all, u are in control of the plane. haha. but well, i told myself. this is it. i have to learn some stuffs from my joy ride.
i looked at how raman did his checks, ( although it kinda suck cause he didnt do it properly) but i did notice his area orientation, the way he looks at his horizon, and climbing and descending. haha, he even cracked afew jokes while junyan started breaking out in sweat.
raman: have u guys been to the moon?
us: no
raman: ok i will bring u there. just to experience how it feels like floating. u see this glove? it will float in awhile
so up we went, to the "moon" and a sudden death drop, causing all of us to be lifted from our seats, with the glove in front of us, "floating"
we did 2.5g turns which causes our arms to feel heavy, but frankly speaking, i had so much fun with raman's joy ride. but junyan had to be grounded due to his airsickness. damn. wad a waste.
headed to marina bay to shop for mother's day stuff, got her a bag, (judith says its nice) so lets hope it is. lol.
treasure the second chance, for it might be your last.
