Day 14. Two Weeks Already!

Time flies. I've been two weeks here in Tamworth, Aussieland already. It's sunday today, 0930 am right now and i've just finished studying my area orientation and instrument gauges, and no i did not stay up all night to study those lol. Woke up at 7, lazed a bit and headed for breakfast, did a bit of QT and hit the books. Oh ain't i industrious? Sleeping is such a waste of time.

It's funny. It's sunday and i'm not heading to church. My course has like 50% christians and they went off to a church in town not too long ago, all cept for this bad boy here in front of the screen. Sigh. If there's a time i detest being called a christian it'd be certainly right now. Not so much of renouncing my faith, i just kinda hate coming under the label of christian (meaning: someone who goes to church). Why? Because the christians are generally despised in this group. Nope not because they uphold the name of God and exercise their faith but because of their hypocrisy and bad behavior. Sigh, what bad testimony we're showing to the others.

Good thing I'm independent, i dont find church to be mandatory at this point of time (here, far away from home.) and need no reliance on men to feed me the word, i'm content with attending my Bedside Baptist Church(BBC, lol). Yea, my pride would be my downfall someday but hey, as of right now it's serving me well. Please pray that i'd stay strong in God and continue to be different and yet be at peace with all men.

2 weeks. That's like the longest time i'm away from home. I'm glad to hear my parents' voices every time i call because they sound so jovial whenever i call. Ha, i'm sure they miss me as much as i miss them. And i've gotta thank my buddies for their encouragements! Thanks James, Samuel and Sing Hwa for all your timely encouragements. They're much needed and appreciated as it could get pretty lonesome here some times.

Stress levels will certainly be up this week. Just finished most of my theory and now moving on to practicals. It's a complete different story up in the air, reactions are expected to be at lightning speeds and errors are totally unaffordable. Nevertheless it's a UBER unique experience taking controls of a plane and immersing in the freedom only birds enjoy.
