Train of thoughts

Can't believe it has been over a year since I've written in this blog. I miss it. I miss writing in English actually. Therefore, I'm back, marking my place again at Blogger.com. If anyone's interested in knowing about my life there is another blog which I've created about a year ago, but they're all written in chinese. So if you can read chinese, please feel free to visit the site : http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/mysky2fly Anyhow this year has been nothing but wonderful and God's treating me really well and I'm so blessed to still have my family with me. Made new friends in Taiwan, although friends come and go but I hardly forget them though. They'll always have a place in my heart.
Currently working for the largest National Airline in Taiwan as an Aircraft Engineer on the Airbuses and ATRs. Really enjoying it, but am hoping get more hands on experience though.I dream about NAC almost every month. I miss the people there and I miss my friends back in South Africa. I don't know when I'll be home again, if I can call it home, that is.

Netcare 911 is still up and running, would they ever wonder what happened to the little Asian medic? Did she just dissappear into thin air? I kinda evaporated into thin air, flew 16flight hours to Asia.... about 3 years ago to a little island called "Taiwan" where I was born.

Learnt about how different asian culture can be. It's all so facinating though. Although I must be honest, I don't like the part where men undermine women in whatever they do which did eventually convince some asian women here that they're weak and incapable of surviving without men. Women are perfectly capable and fully responsible of their own lives, including or excluding any man in their lives. Asian women still need to declare their place here!

Anyhow don't get my started on that.

As for me, I was educated in a more English/African way where I've become so free and independent to think and do as I please. After all, you do have only a single chance to live, not so?

Narrow minded Asians, not all of them are like that though I must be honest. But most of them are scared to be out of their comfort zones.

It's been almost 11 years since the day I've joined the Aviation Industry. Flying all over is still facinating for me. Met all sorts of people with millions of different dreams and thoughts. What amazes me even more, is that cultures have pulled so many people back from striving for what they believe in. For Example, a woman had dreamt her whole life wanting to become a pilot, but due to asian culture and conservative thoughts of asian society, the woman settles as a house wife her whole life, bringing up 3 amazing children... which is not bad, I must say, but was this what she wanted? No.

Life could be more than this.... what you have right now. But it could be just "This", if you don't try and reach your dream. It'll unfortunately remain in its form : just a dream.
