The Start


I'm going for the RSAF Compass test tomorrow: 


Don't really know what to think or feel, seems like I'm still dreaming. One hand I'm really excited hoping that I'll pass this test to go on to the next stage which is the aeromedical test. On the other hand I'm like.. am I seriously doing this? Am I seriously working my way towards joining RSAF and leaving behind my pretty much comfortable life now? I've always wanted to join the army/airforce but somehow I've left that dream somewhere in the back of my mind, just going on through with life - graduating and then working a 8 to"6" office job in the banking sector (no doubt loads of OT but which job in the banking industry doesn't OT?)

So how did I suddenly end up going for the compass test? 

30 August 2014: Went to RSAF open house (RSAF@Heartlands) this year at Yishun. Found out about the RSAF ladies Seminar.



6 September 2014: Went for the ladies seminar with my sister and it got me really hyped up. Somehow applied to indicate my interest for Pilot & WSO. At that time I was thinking to myself, #YOLO!!! I'm getting older by the years, might as well try my best so when I'm 50 years old I wont regret not trying to live my dream. 

11 September 2014: Got a SMS from RSAF telling me my compass test is scheduled on the 15th September. Rushed to get urgent leave from work (which is REALLY hard to get) and I earnestly thank my TM/Boss for understanding. 

14 September 2014: Night before the Compass Test and I'm writing this. Thought that if i was chasing my dream, might as well blog it to record :) Went to research abit on Compass Test and more or less you can't really prepare for it. I'm getting anxious but hey, need to remind myself #YOLO! If its meant to be then I'll pass it. If not then ok at least I tried and back to my life: work, eat, sleep, WEEKENDS, work, eat, sleep, repeat.
