Diary Entry 5 - 24 June 2017

Oh yes, tomorrow is Hari Raya... Time really flies I guess. Today seems like I got cursed. When I was returning home in the afternoon, I met with a road accident (I'm fine, that's why I can still sit here and type this entry). And after that, when I got home, I decided to go down to the car park to fly my RC trainer aircraft. I have been flying since I was 9 and 2 years ago I stopped flying due to an important exam  (PSLE). It was only these few months that I went back to flying R/C planes again.

Anyways, I built myself a trainer at the start of this month and had flown it for 5 flights. On the previous flight, the motor fell off mid-flight but I was able to glide it to land.

Today, there were a few people looking at me fly and am I nervous? Hmm not really. This was flight 5 and the last one. I did a hand launch, and completed 2 circuits around the open-air car park. After that, the battery shifted back suddenly which caused the plane to pitch up very hard. It stalled and fell 5 storeys down. When I recovered it, it was a wreck( Will post a photo)

But let's not let setbacks push me down. I still have another aircraft that has been sitting around since the day I stopped flying 2 years ago. The motor might not be powerful enough, but I'll still try tomorrow.

That's all for today, see y'all tomorrow!

Diary Entry X - 12 October 2017

Who's gonna get the iPhone X? Apparently, it's not pronounced as 'X' but 'ten"... I'll just call it an Apple sandwiched between 2 pieces of glass xD. Currently: Anyways, exams are practically over as i'm just left with my Mother Tongue Listening Paper 3 (Good Luck to Biology students). I don't think there's a way to study for it as you'll not know what's gonna come out? You're just gonna listen to a boring 45 minute CD track playing, and listen really carefully even though it's boring :). It's common for people to fall asleep during it. 2 weeks of hell: No, not the 2 weeks of EXAM HELLL, no. Exams were hell and if you think it's not enough, take Exams+injured left leg and you'll understand my pain. So... The first day of exams (Thurs 5 Oct), I woke up and as soon as my left foot touched the ground, pain just surged... So, I did my morning routine while limping and limped all the way till today. Usually the pai...

Diary Entry 6 - 28 June 2017

I finally found some time to write. So yesterday was the first day of school and first day for our Probational Prefects. Most parts of it went smoothly with our seniors taking good care of them trainees. This semester is full of holidays; should I be happy? Maybe not. We are going to lose a lot of lessons before our year end exams... And to be honest, I'm afraid when the time comes, I won't be ready. So I guess it's up to me to decide whether to continue what I do to study and revise or to be lazy

Diary Entry 8 - 30 June 2017

Last day of June!! Time passed so fast... Remember last week nobody came for tuition? Well this week everyone came but I was so tired I was fighting to stay awake... During recess today, we had Ice Cream! Why? Because Sunday is Youth Day and Monday is a school holiday. Yep, one of those days that took away lesson time. I have an issue with my class though. I'm an EXCO member that nobody listens to... When your national anthem plays, you're expected to stand at attention. But I've got an international classmate who can't seem to understand this concept. When I asked him why he was looking left and right and scratching his head, this was the reply he gave "I'm not Singaporean, I don't need to participate" So what if youre not a Singaporean? You live here and you study here. Is it really that difficult to show that little bit of respect to the country that you have been on for the past 9 to 10 years? Another thing, so since we had Ice Cream and not ev...
