What a difference a day makes, once sang Jamie Cullum. I did think of him as a faggot once but it doesn't really matter now.
I haven't flew at all this entire week! It was kinda a wasted week but I did enjoy the breaks in the bunk, catching up on the Police Academy series and finishing the entire Taiwanese drama serial Corner With Love. The latter is a beautiful love story which I highly recommend to anyone, but the plot is a little too fairytale if you ask me.
I will be facing my solo checks next week and by the grace of God, I hope to be able to clear it by next week. Though I'm not flying regularly, the hours spent in the aircraft doing "mental flying" does help me quite a bit and strangely I feel more confident and at ease with it now.... until I get whacked again by my instructor. Till then, I'm really raring to go though a little part of me celebrated when the sorties got cancelled. Heh.
Easter's coming and we went for a penintential service on Wednesday evening. It's similar to what we have back home and it felt good to have made peace with the Lord. Churches here are very homely, very small communities and it seems that everyone knows everyone. An unfamiliar face (like mine) attracts lots of attention and my embarrassment starts when they find out the line of work I'm in, which I'm not too keen to divulge. I would rather people take me for who I am instead of what I do and I find it tiring to have to put up a professional front and have answer all their questions as if I'm in the front line of management. It's like being a celebrity; you have to wear that mask 24 hours non-stop and watch those uncrossing legs lest the paparazzi catch you not wearing any undies. I prefer it that when I'm out of uniform, hey, just take me as I am and as a typical bloke. Anyway just a few reflections here... hope it hasn't killed anyone yet. Heh.
Weather's turning a little chilly now and we borrowed a nice little heater from Uncle Pat and Aunt Agnes. Its been keeping us nice and snug at night when the wind assault is ferocious and chills you to the bone. I can't imagine how winter would be like! And those seconds between turning off your shower and reaching for your towel... that would be enough to make thingsshriver shiver. Shrugs!
