February!
Life is full of ups and downs. When I look back, I’m pretty surprised to see that coming 21st this month, I’ll be in Perth for 6 months. Even the time that I have in Sydney doesn’t seem to pass that quickly. I suppose its good in a way. Negative aspect? I’m still here! That means I’m flying too slowly. I suppose that I AM flying too slowly, since I have to wait for almost 3 weeks for my proficiency check.
What happened in January? Hmm… Bought myself 2 new sets of lenses. One for my glasses & one for my sunglasses. How much does it cost in Australia? AUD$720, inclusive of consultation fees for the optometrist. In Singapore, checking the power of your lenses are free, but not here! AUD$720=SGD$857! I can’t friggin’ believe it. I can buy 2 pairs of titanium framed glasses or 1 titanium framed glasses + 1 pair of Ray Bans. Heck… Unfortunately, I don’t have much of a choice given that my old pair keeps giving me headaches after my flight. Supposed to receive my glasses today 1st, but no… They told me that the angle fitting to the lenses is not correct & its slightly tilted… What did they do? They’re gonna send it over to Sydney again to get it rectified! Need another week! I don’t pay $850 for this crap! Sigh… Then how? Just grumble online lor… What to do…
Anyway, I’m disappointed with my flying! Didn’t get to fly much last month! Ah crap… This year isn’t for me. 60 flights in 23 weeks. Averaging at 2.6 flights per week. Working out the maths… That’ll put me at 24 more weeks! That’ll translate into ETA to SG at 3rd week of July. I don’t believe this… I know my calculations are pretty abstract but it gives a fair estimate if I’m keeping up with my performance which is NOT good at all. Onwards to my flights!
