it's d 2nd day since i got her. i took her out on a date tat morning at d field near TP. did our business, n she died.. omg...

 

her name is Blue Angel. yes, she's d boeing FA-18c. rite now, her body is in d AEG hanger, waiting 2 b buried into her box. sad..

 

tat was jus her 2nd flight b4 tings started 2 go wrong. on her 1st flight, she did a rolling take off, flew majestically, n landed gracefully. onlookers applauded 4 her. but on d 2nd flight, it went terribly wrong.. she did a hand take off, flew, but suddenly, i lost my orientation due 2 d bright sun n dint knew she was flying inverted. n jus wen i saw tat she's dropping altitude, i pulled up. inverted + pull up = nosedive. n there goes her beautiful self.

tat very image of her diving into d ground remained vividly stuck in my mind. i witnessed how she crashed into d ground w/o a sound. at tat very moment, i was stunned. i couldn't believe was i just saw. as i ran to the crash site, it all felt like a dream. i want to wake up to realize that all of this wasn't happening. i finally got there, i dint know what to do. i stared at her body, or bodies, in disbelieve. her top half was crushed into countless bits and was scattered all around the crash site. her right wing was detached, and the battery was dented and dangling out of the body. i couldn't quite convince myself the fact that this is my 1st ever personal plane.

i slowly picked up as many pieces of her as i could, and i walked slowly, back to where i left my toolbox and my friend. as i walked, i felt the cold wind rushing pass me, carrying those smaller bits of her away. upon getting back, despite trying to act calm and normal, the other experienced flyers could see the misery in me. they consoled me, offered solutions to what i can do to revive my Blue Angel and one even gave me a 3-cell Li-Po battery. i thanked them, and me and my friend left.

at ard 2pm, i went to cheng's house 2 celebrate her b'day. i was stil feeling a lil depressed, but well, at least i had some wonderful moments wif Blue Angel. i played poker cards wif more of my frens there, n played wii 4 d 1st time in my life as well. mountain tortoise huh. lol.. we spent tat nite in a playground nearby, it was fun, til we got too noisy, pple complained, n police came. then tings became funnier. LOL!! haha, no lah.. we slept at d playground til abt 6+, then we went to a coffee shop nearby 2 hav breakfast. after tat, i sent everybody home, n headed 4 my faraway home, away from tis bunch of lively frens, alone.

p.s.: HAPPIE B'DAY CHENG SOTONG!!! ^^
