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...

Daily Entry 4 - 23 June 2017

Well, today was pretty plain u til the evening when I went for my tuition. We had a new tutor, and he was very upbeat and engaging. Since it's still holiday, no one would expect today to be the first lesson unless they've read the receipt and yep... I was the only student in the class. And by the time the others came, I was already about to leave. Talk about a wasted trip man... So yes, I literally went home laughing like how I was the only one and if I wasn't there the teacher would have had to go home. Gotta wake up early tomorrow, good night world!
