WHY I CAN'T BE A PILOT

I had not been able to decide what I want to be in the future... Maybe cause my curiosity level is to that extreme, that I want to try out everything. It seems that every little thing interests me. For the past 6months, I had been aiming for air stewardess as my 1st permanent job after graduation. ( Now..thank you for laughing, and no..I'm not joking)

Thought of giving myself a few years before establishing my career. Fly around, get trained with PR skills and of course, meeting people. Then I have this idea of becoming a pilot. I told my mum about it.. .

She said that those pilots are born to be, they usually have interest in planes.. you don't even know what type of planes are they in the market. ( I WAS LIKE... AIRBUS AIRBUS) lol... she don't really agree with my sudden interest in going for piloting. ( But she wanted me to be a stewardess, guess she must be wanting the airlines to train me to be MORE feminine.. and of course, cheaper airfares for her :P)

I told her i would give it a try for both.. so mum has been a critic recently.. bombarding me on WHY I CAN'T BE A PILOT..

for instance...

I was driving my mum to her colleagues Raya Open house, I was at a T-junction when I almost bump into an oncoming car from my right. (As a left-hander, there's a tendency where I would look left then right before making a turn)

MUM: WHOAAAAAAAA... YOU LIKE THAT ALSO WANNA BANG.. HOW TO BECOME PILOT.. BANG BIRDS BANG AEROPLANES BANG SUPERMAN HOW??

I was driving Waja the other day than my usual Kancil, I wanted to signal before turning, so automatically i lift the hand on the right side. Obviously for a Waja, that would make the wiper function.

MUM: WHOAAAAAA.. YOU LIKE THAT ALSO SO ABSENT MINDED, HOW TO BECOME PILOT? LATER YOU ACCIDENTALLY OPEN THE EXIT DOOR INSTEAD OF PRESSING THE AUTO PILOT SWITCH HOW???... ALL YOUR PASSENGERS GO TERBANGING OUT IN THE AIR ..

I was boiling water the other day, then i went up for a short movie.. and of course I forgot about the water.. and of course, it dried up.. and there goes my mum again

MUM: WHOAAAAAAA... YOU SO FORGETFUL, LATER YOU FORGOT TO REFUEL YOUR PLANE THEN TAKE OFF HOW?.. USE WATER AS FUEL AR.. (i was like, hey .. its the engineers that are suppose to make sure its FULL TANK.. not the pilot ) she continue saying, yea, as if you are not responsible to check your metres if they have finished or not ..


So I have to be really cautious lately.. before she starts hammering me on another pilot MISERY again..
