the uncertainty n the wait

After 3 months of waiting, my student license finally arrived about 3 weeks ago, and with that, a real need to be serious in my work also set in. Unfortunately, for the last 2 weeks, work has not been all too well, hence the lack of updates here. The stress that i've talked about earlier, is evident not just within myself, but also within some of my fellow coursemates here. It has been said that this phase of the training is the toughest, what with the limited hours provided for us to grapse the correct landing technique, n the rustiness associated with not flying regularly. Of course, skills differ person to person, instructor to instructor, and i do not shy away from the fact that i have not been as up to standard as some of the other trainees here. N if no further improvement is made to the point where the instructor feels i'm capable to fly on my own, the inevitable will occur, and i can kiss this fantasy life away for good. Its really not a good feeling knowing your career is decided by just a few hours of performance (good or bad), but that is just the way it goes around here. In fact, and i do agree with several comments made by others, most of the time it is just self-induced stress. Confidence is a weird thing; one moment you can feel capable of landing the aircraft, but it just takes a few bad landings for it to be totally erased out of your mind,and back to square one again.

On a positive side, i'm given another chance, like many of my fellow trainees before me, to get it right. I'm sure everyone is capable of getting it sooner or later, it's just a question of whether how soon it'll be. It has to be soon though, dont want to pack my bags too early n go back home without accomplishing anything.

Anyway,things are not that bad (yet). Thankfully, my fellow coursemates have been encouraging each n everyone of us who has not been doing well. It's during such times, that you see people who just 10 months ago were complete strangers, helping each other out. That's the only comfort in this uncertain time for now.....

On a side note, life is not all gloomy or sad. Jokes, games, dinner outings still do occur, though not as frequent as it used to be. The other day, my roommate was just telling us this 欠扁问答题 to us, which he had seen from a taiwanese variety show, n its pretty 欠扁 too! Hopefully the chinese fonts get through, maybe next time i'll try to write a post 作文 entirely in chinese,although it will really suck.

一只白猫不幸掉进了一个又脏又暗的井。 一只路过的黑猫把这只白猫救了上来。
白猫对黑猫说了什么？












白猫 : “meowwwww"


***************************************************



两个人同样掉进了一个又脏又暗的井，其中一个不幸死了。死了的那个人叫做“死人”。
活人叫什么？










他叫“救命啊！救命啊！”
