2013

我不可能不知道，
这世界到底有多假，
几乎人人，包括自己，
都是人前人后两个样，
所以很久以前，
我已经训练自己，
不去介意别人怎么看自己，
但是如果你要在华语节偷偷做算术，
连华语课本都没有打开的时候，
就不要举手问那些没有深度的问题，
扮自己在专心听讲，我接受不到，
就继续做你的算术题吧，
反正你已经当老师不存在了。

There're 50 posts in total for this year,
the number has been decreasing since 2009,
but no worries, since I'm going back to the flying wing soon,
I believe I can blog more often after that.
Actually I'm a little lazy recently
but somehow I think I have to write something,
a few sentences at least, to put an end to 2012
which will end in a few hours. It's a must-do for a blogger.
Anyway, Happy New Year and yes I'm still single.

Happy Birthday

Sister sent me a photo which she took while

they're celebrating mum's birthday at somewhere,

making me a bit homesick on Christmas day.

I actually planned to go back for this big day few weeks back,

but they told me not to do so in a phone conversation, I know,

they just didn't want me to take risk and spend so much on the flight tickets.

Anyway, I'll make sure I'll not miss it twice.

Thank you for everything, mum,

I wouldn't have reached this far without you.


Seven days left until the new year.
Opps, I'm turning into 21, unofficially. 

Study?

I know everyone has their own study styles but studying should not be like this. I hate it when people do test preps while the instructor is teaching in front. It directly shows your disrespect to the instructor and, in my way of thinking, homework and test preps should actually be done in your spare time or when the instructor is not teaching. I hate it when people ask for early break or class cancel while someone might be interested to learn. It's so disappointing and what do you think the instructor feels? I actually thought we all could have made the instructors or the school believe that we're really good. Now you know why I sometimes get impatient when you come to ask me how to solve the questions. It's merely because I know that you are busy doing something else in the class.

Real Monsoon.

Today I have nothing much to share actually,
I just want to update my blog with my recent life here.
Since the very beginning of December, it has rained almost 24-hour everyday
and I hardly have the chance to feel the sun shining on me,
the sky's either all white or grey, covered by the clouds,
weather has never been so shitty, so I guess the real Monsoon has come.
Some said they felt sleepy in this kind of cold weather,
but I told them that it's actually just nice to me,
instead, it had kept me awake in class in last two weeks.
Yeah, I don't know why I feel the opposite and get so excited..

The news about aviation for today is that
AirAsia already took delivery of their first A320
installed with sharklets wing tips in the Airbus factory yesterday.
The brand new aircraft is their 115th aircraft and it will be operated
by AirAsia Malaysia. (FYI, their have a few subsidiaries in Asia)
Congratulations for their great achievement.

Last month 2012.

To be honest, the daily life of studying here is quite hectic,

even though I don't study much at night on weekdays, 

the time left is not enough for me to take a proper rest

after doing all my routine activities, so I have decided 

not to blog so often until I finish my ground school

which is sometime around in March. 

Anyhow, I guess, nobody would mind also.

Results for JAA1 were released last week,

it's in my expectation but I was a little disappointed

for getting one silly mistake in VFR and Airframe each.

JAA2 which I'm doing now is fearsome. Wish me luck. 

Last but certainly not least, I would like to share this

to those who might be interested to know this exciting news

that is AirAsia has just bought another 100 aircraft from Airbus.

We have about 100 aircraft in the fleet and another 475 on order!

https://www.facebook.com/notes/airasia/press-release-airasia-asias-most-profitable-low-cost-carrier-secures-another-100/10151194059073742

Rain keeps falling down.

Phase2.

Haven't had any new posts for one month

because of my busy study life and relentless examinations

but all these are over now. 

Thanks Buddha, I'm finally done with Phase1

and I'm now entering second week of Phase2

which finally gives me a chance to take a breath.

Results for Phase1 are not fully released yet.

However, according to the Chief Ground Instructor,

I passed all my DCAT papers which consisted of

two Air Laws and one Human Performance Limitations.

Meanwhile, results for JAA papers might only be out next week.

but I think there shouldn't be any problems.

Coming to the last month of 2012, I hope everything would be fine.
There's so much going on recently, I shall pray more to Buddha,
for my dear family and friends. Let's have a good one.

*DCAT = Department of Civil Aviation(Malaysia) Test

*JAA = Joint Aviation Authorities, it's a common high standard and mutual recognition between its member countries, which our flight crew licensing complies to. At the moment as you are reading this, this standard is in transition to EASA(European Aviation Safety Agency) standard. Well, there's actually nothing different, maybe the fees are increased and the way of conducting the tests are changed.


Maybe there's such a thing as karma in relationships. 
A retribution to me for ignoring my friends.
I don't have any ill intentions but I actually thought
we could be friend, like we did few years back.
I'm not dry, but I hope I have someone
to text when I'm bored or not in the mood.
My fault, I have lost so many friends these few years,
I think I'll try to contact some of them back,
the rest would be let go. 

27 Oct 2012.

Do not forget all love, supports and sacrifices
that your beloved family has given you all the time.
Happy birthday to you, boy, happy 20th.
Wish you luck and may your dreams come true.

Life is a great big canvas,
and you should throw all the paint on it you can.
Birthday is supposed to be celebrated with the beloved.

By the way, for those aviation enthusiasts
who visit my blog because of aviation-related news,
you may want to know that Singapore Airlines will terminate
its ultra-longhaul flights to Los Angeles and Newark soon
in the fourth quarter of next year as Airbus, the aircraft manufacturer,
has agreed to buy back the carrier's A340-500s.
What a regret, for your information, those flights
are actually the longest non-stop flights in the world record
which respectively need 18 and 16 hours.
Anyway, with the phasing out of the fleet,
the airlines will also increase its flights to the State
via Tokyo and Frankfurt with its A380 superjumbo jets.

Unsolved.

总觉得这样的解决方式不恰当，
或许大家都过于冲动，
但追求互相尊重的同时，
没有必要让人家感受同样的难堪。

道歉只是表面功夫，
之间的芥蒂就像镜面的裂痕
无法修补，或许还在里面
造成了无法被看见的腐蚀。
闹剧结束，看起来他不会改过，
甚至可能觉得自己没有错，
而我们也没有得到什么，
或者了解到他的不满，
除非你觉得至少赢回面子，
值得你沾沾自喜。

Perhaps, we all were wrong.

Talk Cock Sing Song.

It's funny to me.

Seriously? Did you just ask for our respect by
giving us so much embarrassment in front of everyone?

At least I say Hi and smile to you first.
I even think that I'm more discipline than you, friend.
I "respected" you, until the moment you shouted "fxxk" at us.

Regrets.

Sometimes, I think that mum has wasted too much money on me,

I shouldn't have gone to study in a private school to make myself suffer,

I shouldn't have gone to the college, although I quite enjoyed my studies there,

if I had known that I would be chosen by the company eventually.

Even if taking up the Diploma course was right,

I should have applied for JPA,

I should have finished the course so that I didn't need

to repay the study loan to the government with first class.

Those decisions were seriously a mistake.

Just allow me to grumble.

However, I'm clear,
life is full of regrets, 

do not blame because  

it's the past that brings you here today.

And above all, I'm really feeling great,
I have never been so happy before,
that's enough but it would be perfect
if I'm not so far away from my family.

Past? Just fxxk it,
learn what you need to learn
and do all your best at the present.

Monsoon

It's already raining when I woke up at seven o'clock this morning.
I believe it started at midnight, the downpours just continued until
three o'clock in the afternoon then gradually transformed into drizzle
before it stopped. It's the longest rain that I have seen so far.
With no any need to guess, I can tell it's Monsoon because it's almost time.

Generally, from November to February, it's the Monsoon raining season in East coast.
Kelantan, the state which I'm staying in now, is exactly in the region. In simple terms,
during this season, the winds from the northeast over the South China seas
brings heavy rains, thus the rivers can overflow and floods could happen.
Even though the aunties said that our place wouldn't be affected much,
the rain, like today, ruined my plan to wash and dry my clothes.
Anyway, I'm gonna prepare myself for the first Monsoon ever.

Today's so cold and gloomy, I should have got myself
a cup of hot coffee, played some music and gone EMO :D


Last but not least, let's me share some ideas about manufacture of the aircraft.
Do you know that the aircraft are actually made globally? For example,
Airbus's A350 XWB, its components are pre-assembled
in the various Airbus sites across Europe : Broughton in the UK, Bremen,
Germany, France and Spain. They are then transported in the air by the Beluga
to the final assembly line in Toulouse. Speaking of which, Airbus is now working on
the first flight test A350 XWB. Please follow them on Facebook if you would like
to know the progress of the airliner which is claimed to have extra wide body.

Sour grapes.

To be upset of what you don't have is to waste what you do have.
Do not be anxious because there are actually some advantages for being single,
at least you need not worry about someone, oh yeah,
it's another good example of sour grapes but looking at my friends 
who are around me like facing relationship problems everyday 
already make me stressed enough. Too many failures in the past.
Anyway, just remain steady, be lovable to be loved,
nothing will stop you when fate comes.

I have three days off starting from tomorrow,
thanks to Kelantan FA, here I wish you all the best,
please win the match and get me another holiday perhaps.

I'm not anti-social but I just don't like to talk cock and 
I don't answer questions which I think they will invade my privacy.
Remember that respect is to be earned but not given. Please.

Before I end my post tonight, I would like to share something about AirAsia.
Do you know that every Friday is Fabulous Fly-Day for the best low-cost airline?
A lot of fabulous deals would be available from 11am to 4pm on this day and
the Fabulous Fly-Day is back tomorrow. Grab your tickets fast at www.airasia.com.

Motivated

I was actually quite surprised by the figure

when Capt. Nik revealed the amount of his salary,

as a captain before leaving Singapore Airlines, 

to us in the talk which was about Multi-crew Pilot License just now.

Aren't you motivated after hearing that?

Anyway, today is another not-studying day because

there's nothing more important than catching up on sleep :D

How to be a successful pilot? Interesting topic.

Just remind me to blog this when I get to the left-hand seat one day.
I see myself there 8 years later, more or less.

Stressed.

I'm so stressed to see people keep posting things that I don't wish to recall, like the activities that I don't participate any longer, on Facebook. On the other hand, there are also some very aviation-enthusiastic guys, whom I think they are too hardcore sometimes, non-stop posting things about aircraft, which I almost touch everyday. Maybe you will ask me not to log on Facebook then. I just cannot quit Facebook because it has become my habit to update my daily life and stalk my friends there. Friends, just share something about nice food, hot chicks, romantic songs or some beautiful places to go, please.

Not sure if Facebook has the fuction
which you can use to check who have viewed your page,
otherwise you might be surprised to see me in the first place.

I need some time to confirm my feelings because I tend to have a desire
to seek for difficulties and make them down. I just don't want this to happen.

Tonight, if the weather is favourable enough,
the history of human limitations would be rewritten.
because there's a guy, who is called Felix, going to ascend
to 120000ft, doing a freefall, reaching supersonic speeds
then parachuting to the ground. Wish him luck!

Cool instructor

Basically this is a continuation from the last post,

which I said I had a very awesome instructor.

Today, he told us another story which was

he had experienced more than 10g once 

when he was flying the fighter jet with his officer 

in a combat-practicing sortie many years ago!

For those who don't know what "g" is,

I have to tell you that it's the load factor

which is the ratio of Lift to Weight of an aircraft.

Let's say if you are experiencing 10g,

your weight is actually 10 times heavier than the original,

so that you cannot move any part of your body at that time,

all your blood will flow down and accumulate at your legs,

causing you to have a black-out and unconsciousness.

Talking back about 10g, it's actually almost the limit of the aircraft.

The Limit Load Factor(the maximum load to be expected in normal service) 

for a fighter jet is 9g, multiplying by 1.5 which is the safety factor,

the Ultimate Load Factor(failing load of a structure) 

which a fighter jet can maintain is 13.5g.

What I'm saying is that the aircraft cannot fly more than 13.5g,

otherwise the aircraft structure might fail and break off, however,

even though you haven't exceeded the ULF, below LLF, 

the aircraft structure might also have permanent deformation.
This happened to my instructor! The wings of the aircraft rippled
because of the very high load factor experienced, anyway,
my instructor managed to bring it back to the base and landed safely.

Isn't he cool?

Respect

I fucking hate people giving me nickname, that's it.

ShingBalls? You would never want to see him go mad.

Halfway through JAA1

Having been in the ground school for one and a half month,

we are now considered halfway through Phase 1, 

there are another 38 days to our JAA1 and DCA tests.

Studies are alright so far. It's getting harder

but I think it's normal, at least handleable at the moment.

Speaking of which, I must talk about an instructor of mine.

You know, it's so cool to have an instructor who is from the India Air Force.

Seriously, I have great respect for him and it increases day by day,

especially when I knew that he had flown quite a lot of different fighter jets 

and the most awesome thing is that he has flown to 90000ft
where normally people couldn't survive 

without adequate equipment, for examples, pressure suit and oxygen supply.  

Even though I tend to get nervous during his classes,

because he always asks us to explain the theories,

some more I sit in the first row,

it's indeed my honour to be able to learn from him.
A excellent instructor he is :)

MIG25 - The fighter which my instructor used to fly M3.0(3 times faster than the speed of sound) at 90000ft. 

Last but not least, in order to make this blog more interesting and rich in contect,

I have decided to touch on more topics in the near future, 

which might or might not be related to aviation and my daily life,

so that I can get this blog more attention.

At first, I thought of keeping a record of my young life by remembering it with words

but I'm not sure if the readers of this blog are more than ten.

There's no fun if it's so.

I believe you must be able to understand it if you are reading this. 

So let's try something new? 

AirAsia Japan now have direct flights from Japan to Koria(Seoul and Busan)

while AirAsia Malaysia has also just launched flights to Lombok, Indonesia.

Aren't you excited yet? Aren't you interested? 

Hold on! Promotion for year 2013 has started as well.

haha! Kind of promoting for my own company, as what I have said,

this's an experiment for my blog, anyway,

those who're planning to go on a vacation,

just check it out at www.airasia.com! 

391 days

Sometimes, it's dispiriting to know that friends around me,
who are at the same age with me and who I haven't met for quite a long time,
have already started earning money by being employed or running their small business.
Some of them look like doing very well, eating at classy restaurants, travel to foreign countries,
having a pretty girlfriend/handsome boyfriend, driving a nice car,
while I'm still doing my initial training and only getting a small amount of allowance every month.
I'm actually grateful for all things that I have got at the moment but I hope for more.
Well, I'm being a bit greedy today, I admit yet I think it's normal to have ambitions.

I can't wait to graduate and start flying around the world.
I want my parents to relax and enjoy their lives with no worries.
One more year! Ground school seems okay but problems are on the flying side.
Anyway, I can do nothing now, as always, just convert the ambition into forces
that keep me moving forward. Work hard.

Counting down.


Adam said I was actually good-looking and he didn't understand
why I didn't have a girlfriend. Well, I wonder why also.

No water

So it's either no electricity or no water here.
Seriously, I wonder how long that
the academy needs to solve the problems completely.
Students have complained since last few meetings
yet we are still having this kind of shits now.
Anyway, I should have taken my shower earlier,
bad day for me indeed and I'm still waiting for water at this hour
because I don't like to lie on the bed without cleaning.

It's a situation which I haven't ever imaged before.

Maybe. Shits happen.

Friends

It's always nice to catch up with an old buddy,
some more he's the first friend that I have met in my life,
we were only six-year-old at that time, pure friendship.
Even though it's a short conversation on Facebook,
at least we got to update each other
and it brought back so many precious memories.
Yes, we might seldom contact each other now
but I'm pretty sure that he's the friend
whom I wouldn't want to lose no matter what.
His name is Qi Wei.

I don't usually talk,
I don't usually text,
I don't usually bother,
but there are always some exceptions,
like them, whom I have been missing recently,
Friends in primary school,
Friends in Mun Yee's scout troup,
Some friends in secondary school,
Friends in Nilai University College.

They say I look serious. Okay, I couldn't deny that.
Actually I have been trying and I will continue trying to be relaxed,
however, I just won't tolerate matters which I don't like or disagree.
So just bear with me if I offense you guys with any impolite behaviours.
I'm glad to be able to realise my dream together with the batch, I really mean it.

从幼稚园到现在都过得很精彩，
学术成绩不到精英但算是优等，
文武才艺不到双全但可以见人，
生活历练不到刻苦但有点经验，
但如果哪天时间真的能够从来，
中学绝对是我想改写的一环，
我介怀，所以抗拒有关的全部。

Just some thoughts after so many days.

5362

Thanks a bunch for all supports.

I'm particularly grateful to Capt. Mani

who taught me and cleared me this morning.

It's nothing but I finally completed my first solo

which was a very important milestone in my pilot's life

as APAC 10S this morning after so long.

It was fun and it was an unforgettable experience.

Everything was okay until I touched down.

The aircraft bounced and started to go sideward,

but luckily, after hearing Capt. Mani ask me to relax

via the company frequency, 

I somehow managed to bring the aircraft 

back to the centerline in the end. 

That's it. Now I can finally feel relieved.

You have no ideas how tense I was at first

when I was the only one yet to do solo.

Happy lar? Not really.

There's still a very long journey ahead for me.

I should not slack off but I will learn to relax.

APAC5362.

Merdeka 2012

If he could not land an aircraft safely,
he should not be called as a pilot -
from Edison Tang on 31/8/2012
which would be the most unforgettable
Merdeka day ever for him.

The boy still hasn't clear his first solo yet.
And the funniest thing for the day is that
he doesn't even know the feeling of hunger.

Indeed, he's a poor guy with no sensibility.

Merdeka! I love you Malaysia.
Ground school, I hope you treat me well,
much better.

2nd Attempt.

I might be good at academy but
I'm definitely not a good flyer,
please stop telling me that I'm good,
whether you are saying what you feel,
or you just want to encourage me,
because it somehow hurts me. Sigh.
Nothing's wrong with the instructor,
it's just my performance not up to his expectation.

Don't weep, I say,
although it's a regret,
I'll certainly try my best next time.

Congratulations to Aidan for clearing first SOLO.
My new callsign would be APAC 5362.

Last but not least, do not take things for granted,
no-one, including the Penghulu,
should be blamed for the warning letter.
He's in a difficult position to deal with all parties.
We are a team, at least I believe some of us
are still really trying to be an united team.


Adam is really a nice guy. Serious :)

Solo Check

Sometimes, I think company is too stringent 

to restrict us from going home even though

we have nothing else to do at the hostel.

But, trying to mull over all things in their shoes,

I think they are right also because they don't want 

to pay responsibility for our safety outside the academy.

Besides, we are their future pilots and they expect us

to study and improve ourselves at all times to be a better pilot.

Anyway, I hope they can take more of our welfare and feelings into consideration.

Congratulations to:

APAC 5357 - Freddie

APAC 5358 - Kelvin

APAC 5359 - Izzan

APAC 5360 - Tanker

Two people left which are Aidan and me.

I'm nervous to the maximum right now.

Capt. Aung said my circuit techniques and final were good

but aircraft was floating during landing because of strong tailwind.

I'm not sure if he told me the truth or he was trying to encourage me.

Anyway, let's see how I would perform in SOLO check.

Fear.

I somehow feel abashed by their praise,

when they say I'm good while I think I'm not,

no matter they are sincere or making fun of me.

They might have seen my best, but not the worst yet.

Recently I have lost my confidence in circuit exercises.

From takeoff, upwind, crosswind, downwind, base, final, round out, level off, 

the last and the most difficult one for me -  flare.

I don't know. My performance was just not up to my expectation.

Don't tell me that my self-requirements are too high. It's supposed to be so.

Anyway, I hope I could do it and clear my first solo eventually.

That's all. The sequences and beautiful callsigns are nothing to me already.

Both Capt. Mani and Jackie asked me if I was scared.

I couldn't deny it but I believe, going along with the training,
some time and experience will help me to overcome the fear sometime later.

Anyway, congratulations to:
APAC 5351 - Shatish
APAC 5352 - Zamri
APAC 5353 - Adam
APAC 5354 - Alex
APAC 5355 - Daniel
APAC 5356 - Inyggaran

Six more to go.

Chances

To the God,
To the Sky,
To the People,
To the Little men,

Please give us some chances,
it's not too much, we just want to clear solo
before we go back to ground school on 26th.
It's only a few days, a few sorties, a few hours.

I consider myself a realistic people
but some guys are just way better than me,
friends, you don't need to be so,
we all don't need to be so.

Bless me,
Clear the sky,
Understand and help us,
All for One, One for All :)

Last Thursday, Capt. Feavin and Capt. David
from our company came to visit us after so long,
they asked for our progress and also told us that
my batch was expected to be manpower on March 2014.
I hope it would be true and we all reach the goal by the timeline.

The captain's rules.

Two rules that a co-pilot must remember.
Rule 1: The captain is always right.
Rule 2: If the captain is wrong, see Rule 1.

Of course, we are not talking about emergencies now,
unnormal behaviours or non-standard procedures
which might hazard the safety of the aircraft are also excluded,
other than these situations, yes I agree that captain is always right.

Even though he's wrong, refer to the second rule.
You could try to correct him in a proper manner
but you should not embarass him. That's the way.




APAC 06 is not going to fly with us any more.
I would miss him and his mega punches.

Enthusiasm

Sometimes, I'm just kind of freaked out
by those extreme aviation enthusiasts who are so
over-passionate and over-obsessed with aircraft.

You know? I believe other poeple
might feel the same as well.
It's a bit annoying to see people non-stop
post or share things about aviation on Facebook
after we come back from an exhausting flight.

We always admire their enthusiasm.
But please at least give us a second or two to breathe properly.

Last but not least, stop telling pilots that you envy them.
Most of them don't like hearing this but they won't tell you.
Remember, there's a saying in Chinese which sounds,
"I see you good, You see me good only".

Make yourself happy and that's it.

There are so many affairs in this world of human,
not every one you can care,
the more you care, the more you hurt,
sometimes, we just have to let go.

Giving up something to get something else.
It's fair. Make yourself happy, that's it.

Control your sentiments but not be used by them.

ATPL

In his dream, he could fly,
fly in the sky, the sky of dreams,
but all these things are not illusory now,
they are happening because of Buddha,
every god and Tangs' ancestor whom I have prayed to.
Also thanks to my family for so much love and bottomless support.

In fact, I have nothing special to talk today
but I would like to share the happiness
of a friend of mine who has just clocked
1500 flying hours on the A320 here.

He is Andy, a First Officer who
serves the same company with me,
though I'm still in initial training :P
Congratulations to him on reaching the hours
to unfreeze his Airline Transport Pilot License
and qualify for the promotion to Senior First Officer.

Nobody, except the pilots, knows
how tough the road has been for him.
And now I'm following his footsteps to the same goal.

You might be asking when my turn will come?(To be a SFO)
haha! By 2016, I extimate, but the problem is my batch
is almost one month behind the schedule at the moment.
Our progress is being held up due to some reasons,
like bad weather, aircraft servicebility and instructor availability.
Unlucky indeed. I know things won't just go so smoothly.
Anyway, APFT said they were still aiming to clear my batch within 18 months
as they had promised to AirAsia. Let's see what happens in the end.

We are clocking hours very slow now
as there are two batches of AirAsia cadets
and a big number of private cadets flying now.
So in order to avoid the competition for the slots,
my batch is going back to ground school
at the end of next month to start JAA1, JAA2 and JAA3
in a hope that we would get priority
when we are back to hangar in February next year.
To be frank, it's really frustrating to leave in the middle
but we have no other better choices.

Anyway, TVB has started filming the continuous episode
of the drama "Triumph in the skies" which talks about
the life of being a commercial pilot recently
It's gonna be one of the highlights and hot topics of the year
for those aviation enthusiasts and drama followers.




Pray more. Work hard. Live well.

Skout

一个20岁的人可以不要那么无聊嘛？
更别说即将成为飞机师的那么一个人。
用我的户口对陌生人乱发东西，
幸好对方明白且不介意。

我没有生气，也选择原谅，
但我不想有下一次。

最近常常上Skout，
原因只有那么一个。

随身碟

点解我必须无条件地将我花精神，花时间，花金钱找来的资料分享给你。
我不介意帮忙朋友，但不是以这样的方式。
让我努力的成果被那个随身储存碟吸收去。

心理有点不平衡。

Boring Night

Seriously, I didn't dream of it before,
but well, since many of them said that
I would possibly become one like this,
then why don't I give it a try?

Who knows. It's still early days yet.

Looking for a girl in the company.
Or maybe other companies.

The Fool.

愚者 [ 0 ]
大秘仪塔罗牌的第1张，
也是最后的第22张牌，
是一个开始，也是一个结束。
图案是一个人快活地站在悬崖边。

有的解释是他十分愚蠢，
缺乏理性判断的能力；
有的则指出他极端崇向精神层面，
不在乎现实。

总括来说就是凭直接行事，
没有拒绝和抵抗的能力，
同时代表了愚蠢，冲动和虚无。

不过他们之中较成熟的，
则会从生命的历练中学取经验，
然后成为自己理想中的人。

The card above might describe me the best.
Life in the past has been a mess where
I kept on making mistakes and also
screwed up things. Anyway,
today I'm here not only wanting to repent for what I have done,
there are actually some thoughts in my mind that
I couldn't just let them go but at the same time,
I'm facing some problems on how to convert them into words.
So, let's make it short and straightforward,
no all could saint, no all could be perfect,
however, by learning from the experience,
I would try all I can to be a better man
as I have wanted to be,
no matter how hard it is.

Funny meh?

I studied because I didn't want to be a mugup pilot.
I was not happy because I didn't like to see people show off.
I didn't wear my sunglasses because there was no such a need.
I might look younger, childish and weird but so what?

That is me.
Problems?

And now I don't want to care any longer.
Just let me graduate peacefully without a hitch.
Again, thanks Buddha and my family for all these wonderful things.
Appreciate. Would get my first flying roster in my life by today.
Woohoo.

Chill

Sometimes, people tend to think too much.
What's up? Though it's always better to verify
whether it's true before we believe someone/something.
However, what I'm trying to say is,

don't gauge the heart of a gentleman 
with your own mean measure. 


  
I'm actually okay with any ways of getting the job done
as long as the method is not against the laws or rules.
Laugh. Despite the mockery, I will still live my own way.
I believe I would become an amazing captain one day.

Chill, Relax, and No worries.
Today I feel sorry to beast :D

Personility test

Just thought this personality test was quite accurate
when I found and did it on Facebook a few minutes ago.
My choices were 4, 8, 12, 14, 23, 34, 35, 41 and 48.

Let's see what you have got inside your soul? :)

Link :
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=330885583651196&set=a.284585814947840.67136.284487108291044&type=1&theater

Problem?

"This used to be very glamorous profession, not anymore the pilots pay has been slashed and they have to stay in the airport to board the next flight if they want to relax they can sleep on operation desk pad and have go for screening and pass the security check like other passengers."

I found the statement above on the internet by chance,
making me wish to share something with all my friends there.
Well, for your information, flying as a career has been said
to be the most stressful job.

Actually it's nothing but about the pilot's ultimate responsibilities
and the personal sacrifices which the pilot needs to make
for the safety of his/her passengers and/or cargo.
For example, constant training and evaluation,
constant drug and alcohol testing, background checks,
difficult hours, long days and huge liability.

What I mean with constant training and evaluations is a pilot needs to do
a lot of proficiency checks and recurrent training every year.
The syllabus involves all knowledge that you must know for flying,
for examples, standard operating procedures, safety emergency procedures,
aircraft operations, crew recources management, base checks, line checks
and a lot more things which I also don't know at the moment.
Beside, a pilot needs to do a medical checkup every year to make sure
that he/she is fit to fly as required by the air law.
Seriously, failing these checks can be an end to your airline pilot career.

Now you still doubt why the pilots deserve such a high pay?

Anyway, not to depress the others, what I'm trying to say is,
I know there are many aviation/aircraft enthusiasts outside,
but it's actually unnecessary for everyone to become a pilot,
yet once you are determined and you really strongly believe that
you belong to the skies, then please do your best for it.
"Work hard and you will get it", this, which I could not agree more,
was directly copied from my principal at flying academy.

Flying is not easy unless you are well-prepared for it.
Sometimes, I just don't have any feelings when someone tells me that
he/she wants to be a pilot but he/she is not doing anything in fact.


"Good luck."
"Triumph in the skies."
Both dramas talk about the life as a commercial pilot.
I believe this is where most of the enthusiasts' motivation comes from.
Me too. To be frank, the dramas are touching, but the storyline is a bit fake.
I remember what Capt. Khoo said during my interview,  it's -
don't watch too much dramas, Edison :P

Chicago

Actually I don't mind but
it seems that the name has become my callsign
while I just don't really understand
what's so funny about.

I did learn from the mistake.

I'm okay. Make it as sort of stimulation,
who knows if I would land there one day.
Hold on, sasau pilot :D

Heard that we would go for flying phase
on the single-engined aircraft, maybe Piper,
instead of JAA 1 ground school after PPL ground school.
Can't wait. "Chicago 123, request engine startup.."

Home.

Happy Mother Day :)

I miss my home.

Finally in APFT.

 

Little boy with his pilot cap. I know it, I look silly.

 

My study table.

 

It flew me and dreams.

 

AK 5286. Ready for boarding. Let's rock and roll.

Finally I'm here, Asia Pacific Flight Training,
which is located in Kota Bharu, Kelantan,
at least eight hours' distance from my origin - lovely KL.
Though this place is not as good as I thought,
I think there won't be any problems for me and the truth is
I'm going to spend 18 months here until I got my pilot license.
So I say, let it go and do my best.

Nothing much I want to say.
I'm currently on PPL ground school.
Subjects are tough. Captains are cool.
That's all.

Energizer Night Race 2012

So this is the medal for 42km finisher!


Above all, a million thanks to my AirAsia team leader, Tanker
for asking me to join the run - Energizer Night Race 2012
which was conducted at Sepang F1 Circuit yesterday night.
I finally finished it in almost seven hours, the pace was slow,
however I still feel good as it was my first ever Marathon
and I never ran more than 10 kilometres before.

Again, I would like to express my appreciation to him.
I wouldn't have finished the run without him motivating and guiding me
all the way until the finishing point. It was a great experience.

I must admit, I was a little impetuous to join the run
without any special training but I had always wished to know
how long I could run and how much the willpower I have got.
I didn't only want to challenge myself but I also wanted to show that
I wouldn't give up easily unless I lose my interest towards that thing.

Yeah, this is the proof.

Inspiration

I'm so happy to know my senior,
who was also from Nilai University College,
just got the award of Best Overall for his pilot training
under the cadetship of Malaysia Airlines System at HM Academy.

I wish I could get it as well
as a cadet pilot of AirAsia at APFT :D
Nike says, Let's do it.

Go Pilot Go!

Oh. I have just noticed that there is such a practice
in all flying academies which is some special awards
would be given to the cadet pilots who are excellent
throughout the training on their graduation ceremony,
for examples, Best Flyer, Best Academic and Best Overall(Top Gun).

Well, if you want me to set some personal goals,
I guess it would be the trophy/certificate/medal/whatever
for anyone or all of the awards mentioned above.

I'm now in the final countdown to my training.
Let's see what would turn out after 20 months then.
Go Pilot Go!

榜样

人不可貌相，海水不可斗量，
但是失败的人有样子可以看，
我要把妈妈当成学习的榜样，
绝对不要像他一样。语毕。


People around me are busying for the coming of SNSD.
How about me? Look this -->

 

It's none of my business, opps, no offense :P

However, sometimes I wonder and doubt

if most of their fans who are not Korian 

understand what the girls are singing.

Though, we say that music has no boundary.

Simple Idea

当你开始讨厌某些人事物以后，
你会发现自己渐渐对任何有关
它/他/她的消息，都不感兴趣，
甚至不看，不听，不闻，不说。

过去已经不能回头，
即时是上一秒的事，
我不会花太多时间留恋，
因为未来紧紧跟来。

我就是如此现实的人，
我知道现在的我需要什么，
我就只会朝这个目标前进，
其他的能丢就丢，能闪就闪，
this idea is simple enough.
还有要准，要狠，要快！

Again(I put my palms together in prayer to Buddha),
I hope everything goes smoothly as what I have expected.
I hope my parents especially my mother can retire and rest as much as possible soon.
I hope everyone of my family always stays warm, safe and healthy.
I hope I can go into the training, graduate and start working soon.
That's what I only want at the moment.  

Mom is planning to travel to Taiwan.
I wish I could sponsor her some money
since I'm considered to have become successful
even though I'm still not a qualified pilot yet.
She has been working hard for us, her children.
However, I would have to do some calculations first.

Ten minutes to 3 o'clock, I'm signing off and going to bed.
May the world is blessed with peace, happiness and miracles.

Oh. Just thought of my grandmother and ancestors,
it forced me to return to edit this blog at 3 o'clock
because their contribution should not be forgotten xD

World Best LCC for three consecutive years

Yesterday night, I linked to a blog which was titled
"Malaysia Airlines' safety performance versus
AirAsia's safety performance" by chance
and it really got my monkey up!
Well, I'm not protecting my company
but I could see that is a biased article.
Honestly, I really hate it when someone says that
AirAsia compromises on the safety and regulations.

Hello, friends there, If AirAsia was not a safe airline,
it would have been shut down by
the Department of Civil Aviation Malaysia long time ago.
However, the truth is AirAsia has been operating in this land since 2001.
In addition, before AirAsia is permitted to fly in a particular country,
it must get the approval from the respective Aviation Authority
which is equivalent to our DCA in Malaysia.
Do you think their authorites are stupid? 

Do not forget International Civil Aviation Organisation(ICAO)
which is made up of 190 countries round the world.
They do annual checks on the safety standards of the airlines including AirAsia.
I'm afraid to say that AirAsia would not be allowed to fly
if AirAsia has not met the required standards.

Okay, the services provided and the fares might differ with the other airlines
but comparing a LCC and a full service carrier is not fair at all, right?
I'm proud of AirAsia. The world best low cost carrier for three consecutive years. 
Yet I agree that there is still some room for AirAsia to improve
and you would see that in the near future!

PS. Funny to see someone wants the previous airlines back
even though they are losing money.
It's a great airlines with bad management though.







Still waiting at home at the moment.
Argh. Can't wait to go to Kota Bharu!
I hope everything goes smooth soon.
Do not stop praying to Buddha :D

保佑

发了一个很恐怖的梦，
让我立刻跳醒过来，
老天爷，我郑重告诉你，
如果你需要人陪你，
你直接来找我就好了，
请不要动我亲人一根毫毛，
要不然我跟你势不两立。

感谢你保佑我成为飞机师，
但我更宁愿全家平安健康，
必要时用来交换也在所不惜，
请你务必要继续保佑我们家，
最多我来世做马做牛服侍你。

不认识的你

你、你、你真的很美丽，
我、我、我实在很欢喜。
小姐、小姐、请你考进亚航，
因为、因为、我很想认识你。

哈哈，我也太好笑了，
还是需要时间确定一下，
别再让冲动骗了自己。

Just received email from company,
they wanted me to do eye and medical check up,
which the cost has to be borne by myself,
no choice, I should know very well that
it is a budget airline, however,
I'm still grateful and happy that
my dream has finally been achieved.

People say the workload of their pilots is heavy,
but I think it would be a very good company to
start my career and obtain experience.

Pilot with stewardess, really?:P
不认识的你，请不要让别人太快追到你。

感恩

烟火很灿烂，心却很沮丧，
我不是喜欢反传统的人，
只是对我而言，
烟火爆竹是变相浪费，
看着数百千，甚至数百万，
在空中燃烧，消逝，我无奈，
感觉之前我所做的一切，
已经变得微不足道，
那些钱可以帮很多人了。

我深深相信，
与其短暂的美丽，
真实的温饱和关心，
更能带给人欢乐。
想想昨晚乒乒乓的夜里，
有多少人因你而不能入眠，
有多少人在寒冷的骑楼下瑟缩，
有多少人在某个角落束肚挨饿，
我要表达的是，用那些钱做善事，
不是更好，更有意义吗？
有人会说我想太多，
但就是想得不够多，
人类才活得悲苦。

最近过去的一段时间里，
我用了少许极端的方法修行，
家人取笑说我不如去当和尚，
我不语，但的确稍有体会。
对我说享受舞台有点可笑，
我更喜欢给与人家一些阳光。

四月-开开心心训练去，
梦想成真，衷心感谢：
所有我拜过的神明，
所有的邓家历代祖先，
（特别是公公婆婆和叔叔）
所有鼓励过我的家人，
所有帮助过我的网友，
所有给过我希望的铁鸟。
在此吁请各位平时乐善好施，
拜天敬佛，当你山穷水尽之时，
也许还会有奇迹出现。

祝： 平安 健康 快乐 事顺
共同期待明天更美丽的阳光。
跟妈提起短暂出家的事:P 感恩。

"Where no dream is so big"
Thanks AirAsia and Mr.Tony.

"I am single. I love being alone to think.
I like talking, but never so much on random chatter.
I am odd, but perhaps a lovable one.
This is me, but only the skin-deep me.
The real me is buried deep inside." From Zhai Gen,
where I think it rather suits me as well.

Going to Singapore soon after the briefing.
Will come back and prepare for my training
after a short stay in the neighbouring country.
Boss said the four quarter was good and
I'm pretty sure that it would be an exciting year ahead.
