rah. got all wet today, lousy monsoon surge..haven't seen the sun for a while. hope i don't fall sick.

rain rain go away, come again another day (when i don't have to fly). Clear by tmr morning so i can fly around in the bright yellow and blue little aeroplane. whee

a hundred and three years ago, on this day, man first took to the air in an powered aircraft. 103 years on, I'm glad to be able to be part of it all =)

Because I fly
I laugh more than other men
I look up and see more than they,
I know how the clouds feel,
What it's like to have the blue in my lap,
to look down on birds,
to feel freedom in a thing called the stick...

who but I can slice between God's billowed legs,
and feel then laugh and crash with His step
Who else has seen the unclimbed peaks?
The rainbow's secret?
The real reason birds sing?
Because I Fly,
I envy no man on earth.

navigation flight to malacca was really fun, flying over malaysia at relatively low altitudes (1500'-2500'), and through a storm on the way back in the afternoon =) haven't really been updating much due to work and laziness >.<

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out where the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with dust and sweat and blood. At best, he knows the triumph of high achievement; if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt
