fly in terengganu

So here I am in Terengganu. Yes, not Langkawi. For the next one or maybe two months, I'll be flying here and this is the first post from Terengganu. I like it here. Although it is hotter than Langkawi and the people speak much faster than you could possibly imagine. Their slang requires careful attention before you could understand and respond. And pray hard that they understand you when you do. Here, we get to fly for 2 to 4 hours daily. And that's why I said I like it here. Taking Miss D around Batu Rakit or Rusila (the name of the training areas here, which is, of course based on the name of the town itself), enjoying the ride without having to worry about being monitored by the control tower..since there isn't any radar installed here. Or at least not yet. You can always do low level flying over Pulau Kapas and wave at those hotties in their bikinis by the beach, if you're lucky. Or fly super low over the plantation area to see an uncle jumping out of his truck, taking off his hat, staring at Miss D, thinking that he's lucky to witness a plane crash right in front of his eyes but only to find out that the pilot is just fooling around with height and hop back into his truck feeling all frustrated. Sorry pak cik! I managed to find few minutes to type this out. My first post without photo,I thought. I have another one more hour to fly. And it sounded like my dear darling, Miss D, is back. Which means I have to fly the extra one hour I have left for today. Where shall I go today? Pulau Kapas, of course!
