It has been more than a year since I last visited my own blog.<br />
During this one year, I always had something on my mind <br />
but I was either too busy or too lazy to manage them.<br />
<br />
Remember I said that I was officially a Second Officer in my last post?<br />
I'm now a First Officer, one rank up, with two bars on shoulders.<br />
Next step would be Senior First Officer, in order to achieve that,<br />
I have to collect 1500 hours to unfreeze my Airline Transport Pilot License.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I just read something meaningful the other day<br />
which I want to share it with my fellow friends.<br />
I'm not going to repost the whole article as it's a bit long.<br />
<br />
"I tried to climb the mountain today"<br />
<br />
I have never laughed at anyone's dreams.<br />
I know there's a difference between<br />
those dreamers and non-dreamers.<br />
I think that having a dream is the greatest thing in life,<br />
but if you dont't make an attempt at this dream,<br />
the dream will eventually die.<br />
<br />
Let's climb. Climb the mountain today.<br />
If you just did, do not let it stop, keep moving forward,<br />
because there's always another mountain after another to climb.<br />
<br />
I will be back.<br />

after stepping into the society.<br />
There are times that you will feel depressed,<br />
because of someone, something or some situations<br />
which you don't see them coming,<br />
however, you will still enjoy the process<br />
if it's something that you have always wanted."<br />
<br />
At an age of twenty-two, financial commitments which I'm having now<br />
are actually considered a lot, and more to come,<br />
it might be a little bit stressful, but I'm motivated.<br />
<br />
Yes, I'm a freshman now,<br />
training as a second officer to be the co-pilot of a commercial jet.<br />
Growing up is essential, competency needs to be achieved,<br />
knowing that I will have to take responsibility for hundred lives.<br />
Just can't wait for the day where I can change the one bar to two bar.<br />

<div>
I finally decided to start my first post of the new year.</div>
<div>
Initially I thought the subject of the first post should be a "resolution" one</div>
<div>
but I hadn't had much special experience and thoughts in the past one year,</div>
<div>
what I did and where I went was all about my flight training,</div>
<div>
head is full of something else at the time I'm typing on the keyboard,<br />
so I changed my mind to share about my recent life like what I always do.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Things have been great since I last updated this blog,</div>
<div>
I cleared the last paper and completed the simulator training,</div>
<div>
I'm now one step closer to getting my commercial pilot licence,</div>
<div>
but I must not be too relieved. </div>
<div>
Collecting 25 hours on the twin engine aircraft is not easy </div>
<div>
as the number of cadets has outnumbered the number of aircraft</div>
<div>
and it should be expected that a lot of time will be wasted<br />
because of the approval for flight test..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The good thing is that the flying schedule is more flexible now,</div>
<div>
I don't need to go to the hangar if I'm not scheduled to fly on that day</div>
<div>
unless someone asks me to stand by. (Btw, no-one likes to be on standby)</div>
<div>
At least I have more spare time in the twin engine flying phase.</div>
<div>
My camera has been staying quietly in the drawer for almost a month.</div>
<div>
It's now the time for the cameraman to make his return.</div>
<div>
Oh yeah, Maxis internet connection has become very slow in KB lately,</div>
<div>
I'm not sure what has gone wrong, however, it's not going to beat me down,</div>
<div>
thanks to Izzan's YES 4G, I have no problem with my drama marathon.</div>
<div>
(I guess it's not a good news to my housemates, I make too much noise,</div>
<div>
but I'm not over excited, I'm just too into the story.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's 4 o'clock in the morning, I think I'd better stop here.</div>
<div>
Year 2014, I hope you would be an awesome one.<br />
To be continued.</div>

Nothing much has changed in Kota Bharu,<br />
the monsoon seems to have stopped already<br />
but the food still sucks, life is still boring,<br />
imagine how I feel after being detached to Terengganu<br />
and Ipoh, I had to come back to this place again.<br />
Anyway, I'm gonna start my simulator training for<br />
the twin-engine aircraft soon and<br />
below is my new toy for the next two months.<br />
The Diamond Twin Star DA42!<br />
Bolehlah, take it as an early introduction to joystick.<br />

Even though it took longer than what I had expected,</div>
<div>
I finally completed the single engine flying phase on 11-12-13.</div>
<div>
Million thanks to all instructors and friends who had given me <div>
a lot of guidance and help all this time.</div>
</div>
<div>
What's waiting for me next is the simulator training for twin-engine aircraft.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Flying in Ipoh was fun, no complain and regret.</div>
<div>
Pretty much experience I have gained and </div>
<div>
it's certainly one of the best memories </div>
<div>
I have got in the flying academy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
No longer single,</div>
<div>
I'm now complicated,</div>
<div>
stepping into the two bars club.</div>

I thought I had found mine but now<br />
it seems that I have to work harder on it.<br />
<br />
Weather is not good,<br />
same goes to my mood.<br />
I was sad yesterday, sadder today,<br />
and gloomy days ahead.<br />
Never mind, man man lai.edison-tanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05566618239294348848noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139058676815694743.post-35699956641002529822013-11-25T11:15:00.002+08:002013-11-25T17:59:18.621+08:00PainWe all have problems,<br />
<div>
what makes us different is the way we solve it,</div>
<div>
no matter how you deal with them, </div>
<div>
accepting them is always the first step to start with,</div>
<div>
denying their presence will just pull you deeper into the abyss.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yes, life is painful sometimes but<br />
what hurts us also makes us stronger. </div>
<div>
Pain is meant to wake us up and brings us to the reality,<br />
<div>
it's a kind of wealth which makes us better to hold and cherish</div>
<div>
everyone and everything that we have.</div>
<div>
<div>
So why are you afraid to feel the pain,</div>
<div>
which is a part of you?<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
Hiding them doesn't fix things.</div>
<div>
Only by understanding your pain,</div>
<div>
you could get rid of it and sadness.<br />

40 hours for single engine,<br />
55 hours for simulator and twin engine remaining.<br />
Now please tell me that I could finish the course by Chinese New Year.<br />
<br />
There're too many things I want to do and change about my life,<br />
but I have no initiative and don't know where to start.<br />
How about keeping the to-do-list away until the 21st birthday?<br />
It's an excuse but at least I could be free and happy for few more days.<br />
Rain, you'd better be gone by early November like what the press reported<br />
because I want to fly maximum hours!<br />
<br />
A friend of mine told me that I had changed recently.<br />
<div>
I've been thinking and wanting to write something about it since then. </div>
<div>
I thought changing was necessary to grow up. It always is.</div>
<div>
Without changing, you won't know what you actually want. </div>
<div>
Everyday we come up with some new thoughts, </div>
<div>
so your perception doesn't really matter to me.<br />
I have never, I don't and I'll never care how others see me.<br />
That's who I'm.<br />
<br />

I always wanted to write something<br />
since I last updated the blog in July<br />
but I really had no time to do that<br />
as I was busy flying and moving around.<br />
<br />
Things have been great in the past month<br />
except that the haze hit Malaysia again last week.<br />
Because of that, my flying progress has been delayed further.<br />
Anyway, I shall cut the crap and stop telling the misfortune,<br />
I'm currently in Ipoh, still alive,<br />
struggling to get my single-engine flying done.<br />
How did I end up being here? It's a long story.<br />
I'm not going to talk anything about that in public.<br />
Ask me personally if anyone is interested to know.<br />
<br />
Even though I have only done two sorties here,<br />
I think flying around in Ipoh should be fun<br />
because this airfield is said to be one of the hardest airport<br />
to be approached because of its mountainous landscape.<br />
I'm no bluffing, this's what the air traffic controller said<br />
when we made a visit to the tower on our first day here.<br />
According to the source that I have got from the Internet,<br />
Cathay Pacific used to send their pilots here for training<br />
because the limestone hills around the airport closely resembled the skyscrapers<br />
around Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport, the top ten hardest airport in the world.<br />
Read the comments here: <a href="http://www.ipohworld.org/blog/?p=1349">The source.</a><br />
Besides, the runway is short(2000m) with a down and up slope<br />
at two ends of the runway, increasing the difficulty for making a nice landing.<br />
<br />
To be sure, at this moment, I no longer care<br />
if I'm progressing faster or slower than other batchmates,<br />
I just don't like the feeling that a team spirit is separated into two.<br />
However, the Buddha must have his reason for what happened,<br />
at least I'm closer to my dearest family now,<br />
so instead of blaming the school for kicking us here and there,<br />
I should just enjoy myself and learn as much as possible in Ipoh.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Have been praying a lot these few days,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">to the Buddha, Guan Yin PuSa and many others,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">hopefully they hear my prayers and </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">I hope my life </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">is long enough to be exchanged with :)</span>edison-tanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05566618239294348848noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139058676815694743.post-13763699277724883612013-07-27T00:28:00.002+08:002013-07-27T00:32:33.896+08:00Talk to meMost of the times, the boy just wants to continue talking<br />
so he starts saying something stupid and spoils it all<br />
although he knows the thing, which he's going to say, doesn't feel right.<br />
<br />
It's not that I have run out of topics possible<br />
but I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable during the conversations.<br />
Frankly speaking, I actually feel it difficult to go further and deeper,<br />
especially for me or may be both who don't actually like to talk on phone.<br />
It makes me a little scared sometimes but I won't give up trying,<br />
before I get shut down officially.<br />

So why don't we give it a pass? =D </div>

I would definitely have more interesting stories to share in the future.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Speaking of the test, it's one of my "longest" sorties in the flying academy.</div>
<div>
Even though the test only took 1 hour and 30 minutes,</div>

<div>
With the permission from the warden, I went back home for a few days afterwards.<br />
It was a short break but at least I got to see my dearest family again after so long.<br />
The last time I went home was during the Qing Ming festival on 31st March.</div>
<div>
I always enjoy being at home, do you? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Too many thoughts in my head but I need some time to sort them out.</div>
<div>
Anyway, I learnt something from the General Handling sortie the other day </div>

<div>
I knew there's nothing for me to worry about,</div>

I basically just followed them all the way since start-up until landing, </div>
<div>
It was quite a relaxing sortie and I pretty enjoyed myself up there.</div>

It's actually fourteen ways of improving ourselves:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Read every day</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Learn a new language</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Build your own space of imagination </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Conquer your fear</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Upgrade your skills</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Write a letter to you for future</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. Acknowledge your own weaknesses</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8. Act immediately</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9. Learn from those who you admire</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
10. Reduce the use of the Internet</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
11. Create new habits</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
12. Let the pass be a pass</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
13. Fragrance clings to the hand which give flowers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
14. Always have enough rest</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From John Dryden,"We first make our habits, and then our habits make us"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's always good to create new habits to give you the life you desire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, there's something that he didn't tell us, which is:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
