air force openhouse

today is the end of 2 weeks from the start of my internship at mindef.
it attracted a bit of attention of fb when i posted it up on my profile.
i don't know why, but the idea of being a regular again, just doesn't sound fitting to the future that i envision.

went with DPD to the air force open house at paya lebar. saw the types of aircraft we had, not so interesting. the most entertaining part was the air show, with the F-15s and F-16s taking off, apaches flying around, fighters flying in for the kill, and the most relevant of all ~ close air support (CAS) mission. it kinda reminded me of the time i did my CAS missions at the southern islands. kinda fun to command the pilots to fire away.

tried to differentiate the fighters in the air, but it was too hard. the easiest way is probably to look at the back since they are two burners, plus the wings. still, too hard when they are so high up in the sky.

saw sam yeo, had become LTA now. asked him about the rest of the guys... only 3 of my course made it to through all the way to pilots.

later on saw sharon when i was waiting at the busstop.

the other day saw cpt kenny at the canteen. went over to congratulate him on his coming wedding, in which he invited me over, and also got to know that he's leaving the force for further studies. it's kinda weird that the old bosses leave one by one, and now only left leck. the turnover rate in the force seemed rather high. and that's why i'm doing on the engagement survey. haha..

when i was going back home from the air base, i kinda felt that me being in the defense psychology department, is like a path that was mapped out to me already. i get to see familiar faces, get to know new friends who i am going along well with... was it me who was adapting to the new environment, or the environment chose me? i might consider defense psych... haha..

missed the darts outing due to tuition. wasn't really that into it also due to my dartitis condition. but after hearing that angela was going, kinda got a bit interested in going. although not close, we haven't seen each other for quite a while.

i realized the deadline of the fyp is drawing closer. perhaps this weekend i should do some work on settling it.
