take me to the sky

7:09 am Hmmm, didn't reflect much in Sydney. Think it was too short, and just served as a few days away from sunny singapore.

Just that on this trip, I think I was able to look at the pilot in daddy with a different sort of respect. My opinions of him as a father and a person has barely changed, that he cares too much for his own good, and he has one scary temper, but I think as I will soon pick up my students pilot license, him and his years in flying suddenly hits me.

As I look at the cabin crew shake his hand one at a time, I ask myself, how long did he have to work before reaching where he is today. I ask myself if there was once a time when he was memorising R/T calls, I ask myself whether there was a time when he was memorising checks and I'm quite sure there was. Just as there was a time when daddy probably was beyond proud to wear his wings, to tell anyone who asked that he was a pilot. Mummy told me that he was damn on before he got his 4th bar, and I can imagine. The same reason why I chopped off much of my hair so that I don't look messy for flights, many people will tell me that you probably don't need to do that, but I'm gonna do it so that should I not be able to make it all the way, I can tell myself that I have done everything in my power, EVERYTHING, and it's just that some greater power decided that this is not what I should do.

I should always bear that in mind.
