another place, another phase, another face.

I have set my foot here in Kota Bharu since 3 weeks ago. Hectic, indeed.

It's always hard to adapt to new place, new faces and new environment. Especially new rules. However, I'm coping well here. Afterall I'm just here for several months. I can foresee going through the same adaptation again in the very near future.

I have tried one of the famous Nasi Dagang here. Really nice. would really like to have it again!

woo. i shall plan an itinerary before I have got to leave this place.

Plot of my journey - reminiscence

Australia? no more, sadly. But i had gone through a lot for the one year i live there. Just a piece of typing to sum it all up.

15th September 09：

Reached a foreign country for the first time in my life. 23 degrees was cold for me.

23rd September 09:

My first ever flight which I had a chance to manipulate the controls. I puked terribly.

10th October 09:

My first time in Movie World. We went for Superman ride. It was awesome! It was Dan's birthday, we as the company had to report position every now and then to facilitate the party at home. A happy day.

7th November 09:

My 21st birthday. They baked me a cake and bought me a key card. I had a decent family dinner with Azlan, Andy and Bashir too.

14th November 09:

We went to Wet n' Wild today. Our wettest day ever. It was still a little chilly that day. The highlight of the day: DK, Adam and Andy were busy courting some gals, we missed the bus in the end!! We tasted the best KFC ever that night and ride on the most expensive cab ever! Really a very memorable day.

30th November 09:

My first solo! One of my happiest moment there.

24th December 09:

I shaved my head for the first time in my life. Thanks to Andy Pok. haha

26-28tth December 09:

Stanthorpe trip with a bunch of guys! Stayed in a big mansion. Quite creepy but we all had great fun! Indeed a very memorable one.

31st December 09:

"I went to the beach in Cooly with Bashir and Andy to see the fireworks". epic.

2nd January 10:

My first trip to Brisbane after few months. 3 of us didn't bring along passports hence can't check in to backpackers' hostels. We all ended up in Banana Benders. haha.

28th January 10:

I passed my GFPT on this date. The first milestone in my flying career.

14th february 10:

It was Chinese New Year. My first year celebrating it out of the house. We had some yu shang and a simple dinner together. I did some skype call with my family and Emma danced to my whole family. haha.

22nd February 10:

We moved out of Samuel's Place and shifted in 313, Pacific Place.

4th March 10:

With Bashir and Andy, we took the train to Brisbane. We loitered around the City and stayed until the first service of the train.

14th April 10:

We went to collect Sunrice rice bought with "rainchecks" from Coles. You wouldn't believe how much we bought. haha

16th May 10:

I went to Mt Cootha with Bashir. I was mesmerized by the breath-taking view there. Resting there with a cup of coffee is what we call life.

11th June 10:

Wintersun Festival Coolangatta! A parade filled with all sorts of cars from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Clubs there are playing the oldies! People dressed up like oldies! Everything moved backward! It's the busiest Coolangatta that I have ever seen!

15th-19th June 10:

My parents and sister arrived from Malaysia. Seeing them again after 9 months is a good feeling. Managed to bring them to quite a few places but still miss out something here and there....

26th June 10:

Seen an eclipse. A moon eclipse.

13th July 10:

Experienced night flying. It was great but a little scary. haha.

I stayed up all night with Adam and Bashir. Had the craziest night ever!

16th October 10:

The end of my journey in Australia and I was back in Malaysia after 8 hours of flight.

Happy Deepavali

It has just past midnight. It's the 5th today. Happy Deepavali to all my friends!

For once, I thought it was Chinese New Year. The fireworks never stop! It was so happening out there, and still is! This is the culture in Malaysia. Firecrackers and fireworks are the indicator that one major festival is coming! It used to be the practice of the Chinese, but the blend of culture has promoted it to a greater extend! haha, even when those things are actually banned in Malaysia.

Fireworks out there are loud and there were nice! I stood out there just now and I was surrounded by 3 different site of fireworks, at my doorstep minus the crowd that we usually have during any countdown events!

Talking about fireworks, the best fireworks that I have ever seen so far is undoubtedly the River Fire in Brisbane. I could never forget the lights on the river! A photo speak a thousand words, but I don't have a photo to show. HAHAHAHA. Perhaps you could google it! I believe there are a lot of photos out there.

Till then! Happy Deepavali again my friends. and hi again, Malaysia.

my tight budget spending equals to people's luxury?

OR

people's tight budget spending equals to my luxury?

Everyone's perspective is different. It depends largely on our background, our history, our tragedies, our victories, our current conditions etcetera.

Try visualizing the answer for those questions up there and see what comes out.

This world is never fair and this world lacks empathy.

" You think the only people who are people

Are the people who look and think like you

But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger

You'll learn things you never knew you never knew"

- quoted from 'colours of the wind'

Freedom

Freedom?

A leaf on a tree is free to wave and move with the wind but the it is always stuck with the tree, it can't leave the tree. A definite fate of leaving would be die or dried.

We as human beings are also being restrained by our limiting factors. it could be financial, mobility, family, health etc etc. However, our options are wider as compared to the leaves. We can choose to sacrifice one for another eg. one might sacrifice his time for financial freedom(more pay), or one might sacrifice his financial freedom for his freedom of movement(time)...

What kind of freedom and what degree of freedom are you desired for? How much are u willing to sacrifice?

今天的海没平时的静，浪涛汹涌。厚厚的云层覆盖了整片蓝色的天。灰。

我又再自个儿漫步在沙滩上。没有夕阳。眼前朦胧一片，海浪声不断。

就只有两个多月。多两个多月我即将回到大马。这里的一切情景会在我脑里逗留多久？届时我会很不舍吗？至少在这里的烦恼比回到去的少。空闲的时间相信也较回去得多。

再多一个月，我的感触应该会更多吧…… 首个出国的经验。再次回家又会有什么感觉呢？

阔别已久的阴天又再现。 乌云密布，风轻轻吹。冷。

我正无所事事，呆在凉亭吹风、看天、发呆。眼前的几位工友忙着为隔壁家做维修工作。陆陆续续传出一些吵杂声。然而我的心情丝毫都没被影响。好懒散的一天。

飞机起飞降落也不时传出恐龙吼叫般的声音。望上去，飞机慢慢地消失在云霄中。那就是所谓的冲上云霄吧！

I forgot when, i start to type without thinking of where the buttons are located.

I forgot when, I ride a bicycle without needing to think that i would fall.

I forgot when, I type sms without looking at the phone.

I forgot when, I play piano on both hands with ease.

But, they are all started with hardships and countless falls. Determination and dedication plays a great part of it. Looking forward for the next milestone in my life.

不开心？难免的。很多时候，心情不由得人选择。周遭的事情及因素，称心的、得意的自然让人心旷神怡，违意的还用多说？

然而，很多事情都在掌控之外。没有人的错，只是时间不对称。天时、地利及人和都得互相配合。

还是旧的那一句，放手。与其懊恼不称心的过去，不如积极面对将发生的未来！

外面天空紫红色一片，美。

bicycle, the way for groceries shopping.

Choice of transport to go for groceries:

1. Bus
2. Bicycle
3. Walk

Choice number 2 will always be my first option. Feel that it is kind of heavy carrying stuffs in the back pack? feel that it is tiring to travel 6 km on a bicycle to go to the shopping mall? feel embarrassed to use bicycle as transport to go for groceries and carrying those groceries back home on a bike?

Probably a bit of everything but it is to be justified by the following:

• it is environmentally friendly.
• it is a good physical exercise.
• it is, sometimes, faster than waiting for the bus.
• it grants more freedom.
• it allows me to stop and enjoy the scenery en-route.
• it saves my $3.00 for the bus.
• and it is a joy to cycle along the beach just to go for the groceries!

So, why not cycle? I enjoy doing it and i will continue to do so... Join me?

Sunday, cold, clear and windy.

I am feeling very tired and a slight headache after a long family outing with all my house mates.

It was a very nice outing. I enjoyed myself at least. We went to the park in Southport. The broadwater is just magnificent that I like it every single time i go there. We sat down on the grass just to look at the ripple of the water, the seagulls and also the clouds.

Then we saw a lot of very futuristic poles with a lot of LEDs in it. They are activated by movements of people passing by. The lights dance. I got very excited seeing those things and i was running like little kid just to see the lights dance. LOL. There weren't many people around though. I then persuaded them to stay for another half an hour just to see those lights after the sunset. The result was quite encouraging. The lights are much nicer and clearly compared to the afternoon.

What a coincident that we were actually bumped into Rijal's mum and relatives who are on holiday during our dinner in Surfer's. Rijal wasn't there and we haven't met his mum before. Magically we get to know them there.

I bought a bottle of CKin2u. I really like the smell.

and, Happy birthday Bashir and Lekky! I doubt both of them would ever read this.

咖啡

常常经过咖啡厅我都会有一股喝咖啡的冲动。我是咖啡爱好者。悲的是，很多时候我都强迫自己将那一口口水吞进肚子里。闭上眼睛、塞着鼻子抵挡那咖啡强势的攻击！1杯4块钱的咖啡也还真的蛮贵的。就大概12令吉…… 沮丧，真的。靠着1个月300澳币过活还真的蛮考技巧及耐力！庆幸的是，我每天都有一些健康的食物，有肉、鱼、菜、蛋等等。只是得在购买的时候下点心思。

我向往的不多，只是希望之后的我可以很随意的买我爱的咖啡，不须在餐厅点菜的时候为价钱而三思, 有多余的钱捐助他人…… 足矣。

蒲公英

蒲公英飘浮在空中，没有定律。很可能，连他自己也不懂他的去向。靠的也只有他对风的信念。生命不再掌控之内，能做的可能就是向天祈祷……

我想，我们在生命之路犹如一颗蒲公英。靠的是风--我们身边的人与物。幸运的，会遇到伯乐，会发黄腾达。不幸的，遇到小人，遭人拐骗。种种际遇树造各种人格。所幸的，我们人类就算遇到小人还是能生存下来。而蒲公英呢？到了不该到的地方，给人类扫进了垃圾抖，永远见不到天日。

p/s: 今天的海洋特别的宁静。海浪声不复在。海里没有很大的起伏。喜欢宁静的我爱极了那一翻画面。一股幸福的感觉涌上了心头……

Balloon

When things aren't as efficient as we think it can be, perhaps it's time for re-evaluation. Evaluate our effort, evaluate our attitude and evaluate the "changeable"s.

Men are like balloons. How big the balloon becomes depends on how much air you blow into it. And to achieve the optimum size, the balloon can't be stretched too much nor should it be left loose with insufficient air.

I think I can put more air in myself.

梦

多年前，我心里存着两个梦想。一，出国留学。 二，驾驶飞机。

基于种种因素，当时，这两个梦想也只是个梦想。我一直以为那些都是我能力所及之外。

正当我以为一切将定下来之际，这么一个机会找上门来。我可以出国去学驾驶飞机！这是二合一的配套！然而，这么一个机会并不是一盏省油的灯。我需要很大的付出以及牺牲。心里挣扎了许久亦无法做出决定。

冥冥之中似乎有了安排。不管理智怎么不让我来，我究竟还是来了。做人，有时就是靠着一股冲动。 我靠着他，冲动了这里也呆了8个月。现在所期待的就是学成回去…… 多5个月！！希望是。

担心

担心, 人生中总是充满着担心这两个字. 我担心这样, 担心那样. 人之常情吧?

其实, 人能做的真的是有限的. 很多事情, 到了某种程度, 我们已经是竭尽所能, 剩余的也只能够听天由命.

往往, 担心就是从那儿源起. 停顿了的双手使到脑袋空洞产生了心中感到的不踏实. 这种忐忑, 相信大家都尝试过. 最明显的也不过于期待着考试成绩的那一刹那. 再来就是上过山车前的那种心情. 又或者是上台演讲前的感受?

担心, 真的有用吗?

因为担心表现不好所以紧张. 因为担心得不偿失所以没胆去做. 因为担心外面有扒手所以不敢逛街. 因为担心出车祸所以不敢驾车. 因为担心钱币有菌所以不敢触碰. 因为担心厕所有鬼所以憋尿. 因为担心....所以....

太多太多的担心使到我们怯步. 当然也让我们有了虚假的安全感因为在我们为某件事担心时,感觉上我们似乎做了一些东西, 心里也好过一些. 但, 这一些担心全都是多余的. 当我们在担心时, 负面的心情会变得更负面. 要记得, 我们可以善用这些用来担心的时间. 我们可以享乐, 可以修边, 可以放松从而建造快乐与高兴.

通常, 担心都是虚有的. 我们做人只要做好本分剩余的都不用管了, 也管不了. 船到桥头自然直, 我相信这句话.

不违言, 我也是"担心一族". 然而, 我学着释放那心里的不安, 放开我管不了的.

因为我知道: 担心, 是多余的.

期待

在学校呆了5小时，没用的5小时。

心情从早上期待的喜悦跌到现在的空洞。我什么都没办到。时间白白的飘过。只有收拾好心情，让下一次的期待能浮现出更好的心情。

I hate it when they say " I am me"

I hate it when people say "I am myself" or "I am who I am". True enough that every individual is different to some extent, but to use the "I am myself" that kind of statement is unjustifiable.

If you're a person who don't eat leftover food, who will throw away all the food without thinking of how lucky you are in comparison to those who starve to death, when confronted with a suggestion from a friend that you can keep those food for lunch the next day, your reply would probably be:"nah, it's so not me!". Now, what is you? What do you mean by being you? Do you think that the habit of not eating leftover food originated from you? Hell no! How can you pick up someone else's habit, a long inherited habit and say that it's yours and call it "me" or "myself"?

When someone is associated with his habits or so called "styles", he would be very reluctant to change, even though the habit could be negative. He would be proud to say that it's HIS style (of numerous habits of others that being put into he himself). He would be so convinced that only he possesses those qualities, and when he is encountered with another person who acted in somehow a similar way that he does, he would ask, with sarcasm: why do you copy my style?, as if he has the copyright of the actions that he adopted from other sources!

Let's continue with the aforesaid example: "it's so not me!" and followed by throwing away the food into the rubbish bin. This is clearly a not very desirable outcome. If you knew that the portion of food is too much for the people, then cook lesser or you could possibly keep them for the following day. Maybe you can say that you have plenty of money and you can buy the food anytime you want, that is true. However, you have failed to visualize that food supply is actually limited that only a certain amount of food can be produced at a single time. Hence, with your wastage of food, the demand for the food increases while the supply stays the same, you, yes, I mean YOU have already deprived the food for people who lived in poverty all over the world. When you waste your food, the food prices might increase to an extent that they can't afford it, because these people are living with less than $1 a day. If one has associated himself with the so-called "my style", with his reluctance to change, he has caused some other people to live in hunger(in this instance).

I would like to clarify that I am not against anyone who uphold a certain good values, which in turns build up a good character and personality. But again, they are not exclusively belong to you, they are some common values that are being upheld by some other people in the world. For that, I believe you can't define as your style either.

For what I believe is that one can freely adopt a values or styles and call himself a practitioner of the style but not calling the style that he practices as HIS style.

拼

拼，是人的本性吗？或是个人的喜好？还是所养成的习惯？

拼，是好还是不好？是优点吗？

我本身本来并不是一个做什么都拼的人。是因为不够拼，有很多很多都能完成的事并没有被完成。转过头来，回想当年如果我够拼的话，我的成就还不止如此。我承认，我害怕受苦。很多时候我选择了容易的出路。有时候，就干脆选择当第二。我让我自己松懈。脑子能装的不装，手中能提的不提。

眼前的康庄大道，我有两个选择：一，轻松行走与众人共欢乐。二，努力不懈，胜人一筹。

拼或不拼？我有一个感觉，叫我不要向周遭低头，努力朝向目标前进。拼，我得拼。我要走的远走得快！

然而，我的目标呢？

when I am too free.

The position of the clouds have never changed since.. err i can't remember how long ago. It remained stagnant there, over the ranges. It has became kind of a routine to go to school and ended up with flight cancellation. Should I be happy for getting day-offs?

I feel very free now. Nothing is bothering me in my mind. I have no particular thing i want to do nor a particular thing that I need to do. Maybe cooking myself a lunch. LOL.

I think i will go out for a bicycle ride. To way further down south or up north! I shall see what would I discover. hahaha.

cheers!

简单的快乐。

我迷上了一个人的时间。躲开所有所有的东西，就只有我自己一个。

昨天我又自个儿塔巴士，一个小时多的车程。我就是喜欢一个人静静地呆望着窗外神速飘走的风景。脑儿也不懂飘到哪儿去了。就算身边的人有多吵闹，心，还是平静的。完全没有约束感。要到哪儿停就哪儿停。

耳机紧塞我耳朵。戴佩妮和孙燕姿不停的在歌唱。简单的快乐。哈哈…………

Good bye Johan!

Johan is going home tomorrow! He is multi-engine and instrument rated now. He has been a good friend and good teacher all these while.

Looking at him now, I saw my future. In around half a year time, I should be like him today, waving to everybody, say good bye to my fellow friends and embark on a journey back home!

We had a small party. Very homely party indeed. It bonds us all together and at the same time, it boosted my morale. I want to go home in pride! I shall do my best!

and what I am going to do now is to sleep and to prepare for tomorrow's flight! good night!

洋

我整个身躯浸在太平洋里。嘴总是咸的。水清澈见底。

秋天才开始不久，冬天就要到临了。咱们一伙儿都十分珍惜这一段还不会很冷的时间，跳进那宽旷的太平洋去嬉戏！

今天，我尝试拥抱海洋。我张开手试着抱那迎面而来的浪花，结果那强力的浪把我给打得十分痛。想了一想，我还是让大海拥抱我！哈哈！

说真的，那浪有时还真的大的可怕！但是我却不想拒绝。浪打在身上那一刻真的十分舒服。飘浮不定的海水还真的可以让我尽情地享受！

心想：我以后的家会有这样奢华的海滩吗？会面对着一望无际的太平洋吗？

夜游

四个人，四辆脚车，十点钟晚上，十分钟的路程。

宁静的夜晚，月亮若隐若现，我们坐在地上，高谈阔论起来。 望着天上闪耀的星星，聊起外太空的世界。外星人、太空船等等等都成了话题。

海浪不断的海滩也让我们勾起了海底世界的话题。海龙王又成了焦点。

谈得有的没有的。思考不断。

就这样两小时不见了。一点，我们回家咯。天气好冷！这一趟夜游还真的蛮不错的。

“乒乒乓乓”，看见一个水瓶飞过击中了我身旁的那辆停泊的车，差那么一点点就飞在我身上了！望去另一边，只见一辆黑色的汽车开着窗，里边作者两个阿飞大声地喊道：“#￥%…&@#%%￥”！我们大吓了一跳。庆幸的是他们也奔驰的走了。我们赶忙息了灯，抄捷径！飞快的逃命啊！！！ 哈哈，还蛮好玩的。

Inner Strength

I cycled to Coles again today. Alone.

And today is a little bit different than some other days. I saw a very motivating moment! Perhaps Buddha wants me to see that!

I was cycling half way through from Coles back home and i arrived at a junction. There are a few cars parked at the road side. Nothing was so different from the usual scene. I was still with my helmet, my earphone and my bag of groceries. Then, I saw a wheelchair beside the driver side door of a car. The door was wide opened. I saw this girl, putting in a lot of effort to disassemble the wheel from the chair. I was wondering if there is anyone by her side... but, there was none when I looked closer in.

Hence, I put my bicycle to a halt and dismounted my bicycle. I walked towards her, wanting to help her, but somehow my instinct told me not to! I walked to her side, i didn't utter a single word, preparing to help if she couldn't make it for some reason. She knew my existence. She continued her effort despite it was hard for her. For less than 3 minutes, with some physical strength, she managed to transfer the chair into the passenger side. She shouted with joy and exhilaration!! The smile on her face was unforgettable! I am so glad that I didn't help. A kind act sometimes just isn't as good as self-accomplishment!

She turned to me with a smile and said thanks. I gave my big smile with a thumb up to her! I was happy from inside! Inspired. Despite being physically impaired, she is independent. Moreover, she is capable of driving! She is really one of a kind! Bravo!

Thanks to her, I have got an inspiration and motivation! She proved to me that everything is possible! What refraining ourselves to something better is basically our fear and anxiety. While she can overcome her obstacles, why can't we?

For this very reason, I promise myself to continue my life journey with enthusiasm and endless effort. I shall lead my life as greatly as yours!!

悠闲的一天

乌云仍然遮盖着大地。这意味着我又不能飞上天了。心情其实并不低落，我还蛮珍惜这么一段我所事事的时间。因为我又有时间去亲近大自然了。身在黄金海岸上，其实也就只有这么区区的一年时间，如果每一天都是天晴都要飞行的话，我会有这一段悠闲时间坐在湖边的凳子上享受强风的按摩、树叶的飘舞、鸟儿的歌唱及湖水漂亮的波动吗？

夏天过去了，秋天的风带有一丝丝的冷意。酷热的天已不复在。一路上，我迎风而行的脚踏车几乎都寸步难行。风形成了一股好大的力量阻挡着我的去向。但，我享受。强大的风虽然让我的脚步慢了下来，却让我看到了更多的东西。海边的风景、冲浪的年轻人、孩子们的嘻哈叫声、一对对老人在海边上拍拖的恩爱一幕又一幕的出现在眼前。我更享受的是独自一个人的清静时间。

突然觉得好冷。我仍然一个人坐在凳子上。让奔跑的脑袋带着手中握着的笔游走。

我开始憧憬。憧憬着未来、憧憬着十年后的我。毕业后，我还会回来这里吗？我还会像现在这样自己一个人骑着脚踏车没有去想的出游吗？到时候的我会是在忙着些什么？我脑里大概有了个答案。我总是充满着计划，心里有好多好多的事情有待完成、时间总是不够。理想的情景与现实总有一段距离。但我还是喜欢憧憬。那么一小段的憧憬总能让我低靡的朝气给蓬勃起来。

大树摇晃个不停，风越刮越大。我骑上脚踏车，乘着尾随的风，似箭般的往家里奔去。

成绩

看了好多成绩放榜的消息。突然回想起当时领成绩紧张的心情。那已经是4年前的事了！

现在思考起来，拿再好的成绩又会怎么样呢？固然，那天的那一张成绩单给了我好多好多的机会。我本身也因此尝试了好多好多的东西。别人看了会说很了不起，自己也有一些自豪。但，日子也是平凡的度过。那几个甲等在生活上并不能给予很大的帮助，生活中得继续的努力下去。

转回头，我发现了自己没有真正的享受每一段生涯中的一切。我放弃了好多很好的机会，错失了好一些应有的回忆。然而，现在我学会了珍惜。珍惜眼前的每一幕。以前我就只认为学业最重要，其他的都是次等，结果就将专注力全给了学业，身边的事境都被忽略了。虽然说我参加了好几样课外活动、钢琴班、各种大大小小的比赛等等等的东西，但全都是为了我的毕业证书加分。的确，当中我学了好多东西，也得谢谢我那怕输的心态。这些一切一切皆给了我好宝贵的人生经验，教导了我怎么去面对挫折、忧虑、困难以及胜利。

走路上学的当儿，我都会抬起头望天空，转头望向树叶，享受鸟儿的歌唱。我学会了放慢脚步，放宽视线。。。偶尔停顿一下，倾听四周的倾诉。所谓的美好，其实都在咱们面前，只是被忙碌给“匆”走了。

这么一个改变是因为我知道我不甘心我以后所想起的就只有忙碌两个字。我需要生活的点缀。体验生活和明白生活的意义真的是人生一大哲学。。。

Bata

I had just been through a brain-draining one hour in the room with my book. My exam is on the day after tomorrow. All is well for now. It's looking good.

I cycled to The Pines again this afternoon with CK and Shals. Covered around 15km I guess. This is the highlight of the day: I found BATA shoes there! Many people will say BATA= buy and throw away but, BATA works pretty well for me. I think it is value for money. Cheap, comfortable and durable! Finally, I have got my old Bata shoe replaced with a new Bata shoe.. hahaha.

We had to rush back from The Pines at around 630pm. End of day light was approaching and CK's bike isn't equipped with Night rating. It's illegal to ride a bike without light at night here.

I wonder how much ang paus my mum had already collected for me. haha. =P

新年快乐！

新年了！又到了新的一年。而今年，不像往年般在家里庆祝，而是在离家千里之外的一个陌生地方。新年气氛少了，新年气象更不必说。然而，有一班朋友在一起，寂寞也少了。想家是必然的但也得适应。就在昨天我飞上了天，看着一朵朵的云在机边飘过，越过一个又一个的山丘。往西边看去一望无际的绿草地，往东边看去一望无际的海洋，我心里有了感触。在当初的犹豫不决我是否应该过来，如今心里已有了个答案。我知道那抉择是对的！心里想着：要是我没做出当初的决定，在我眼前的会是这一般风景吗？从上往下看，世界真的是那么的渺小。

飞到海拔6000尺以上，云朵已不是那么的高高在上而是像棉花般轻盈的漂浮在身旁。它就像一张棉被般的隔离了地面与蓝天。他也给了我一种“我跌下去也不怕”的感觉。那么的柔软。飞着飞着，心里的感觉也越来越浓郁。神奇的机器就只靠着一对翅膀就能很稳定的飞在天上。

要感谢上天，感谢父母，感谢家人与朋友对我的支持让我有勇气做出这个决定。大家的宽容心我无从回报！请允许我在这新的一年里，对我自己做出一个承诺。我会竭尽我所能成为一个飞机师，让你们能引以为荣。祝愿大家新年快乐！恭喜发财！

p/s: 今年有没有红包呢？haha

恭喜！

I had a few cups of awesome chinese tea yesterday. It has been so long since i tasted one. I remember Kai Ren once said: 饭后一杯茶，人生一大享受！which i agree very much! Yaya, I admit I am a China man.. but i like that very much. I like very chinese-ee dishes like steam fishes, seafood, green vegetable etc etc. I like white rice too.. I am going to miss chinese new year eve dinner this time. That is the time of the year which should be most anticipated for where everyone gather together and have reunion dinner.

Hmmm.. We got some yu sang here. Thanks to andy. haha. i think we will probably feel more like Chinese New year with those yu sang.. Let's celebrate!

恭喜恭喜恭喜你啊！

恭喜恭喜恭喜你！

Is it tireness or merely laziness?

piles of things are pending for my attention but my brain is blank at the moment. I have to get started man. Give me some motivation.

30th january 2010

the last day of january 2010 is approaching. a month, is really that short. it was not too long ago when we were watching the fireworks for the new year celebration. and now, almost 8%of 2010 has gone... time passed so fast, i hope miy training goes as fast. =) am anticipating for my first navigation exercise. cross country. yay! i have calculated today, there would be no more than 20 dual flight until my i get my cpl... the rest of it would be my command time. I'm really really looking forward to long haul navigation flight. although i know it will be very tiring and that also means pain to my ears. apparently my headset isn't good enough to attenuate all the noise. who can sponsor me a new headset?

GFPT

Andy and Bashir are "band-hero"ing... my throat is tired after singing so many songs... LOL and failed some of the songs. =.=" My voice is changing... haha

Great fun. More people were supposed to be here, but due to the deterioration of weather ie thunderstorm they didn't make it here.

was awake since 3:50am. been through one whole tiring and scary but happy day! I have passed my GFPT! that is something to be bragged about i think. at least the first license in aviation. haha. I got one golden wing on my uniform now! hehe...

Didn't really celebrate it. Had one simple dinner at kfc with friends after cycling... and that's about it for today.

It's reaching the peak of the summer now. The day gets shorter and the morning is a little bit cooler. It's HOT! oh dear.

I am now anticipating for the upcoming autumn where the temperature will be much lower. I shall see what's the difference. I haven't been in autumn before. 4 seasons, i have tried 2. another 2 are yet to come.

Away from home for chinese new year this year. It would be a very different one i think. In less than a month time. All the cookies and stuffs aren't here. There is no indication that cny is approaching. Unlike in Malaysia. However, I still put CNY song as my ring tone. haha. remind myself of the upcoming cny. LOL.

It had been so long since i last buried my head into a book. I am doing it now. and tomorrow. and another 2 more days.

Next week is a BIG week. I hope everything will go well. I believe it will. =D

Un-prepared flight

11:45 i was playing flight simulator with the half-spoiled rudder controller in school, being unable to control the aircraft satisfactorily, it somehow made me sick of the thing, a little bit of airsick feeling. i tried to calibrate the controller but failed.

12:15 still at the flight sim computer trying to figure out what could be done. suddenly Andy(the instructor) came to me and asked me to fly. stunned. flying? My flight was actually cancelled because the original instructor fell sick and it was supposed to be 4pm. and I was required to fly at 1.00pm. with 45 mins left, everything was somehow rushed. as I said, i was feeling a bit dizzy and doesn't feel like flying, somehow my instinct pushed me to it and asked me to fly, so I flew.

12:30 got load sheet and flight plan done. entered the briefing room for Prec Search short briefing.

12:45 pre-flight.

1:00 signed the dispatch and off I go.

Had a good flight today despite some hiccups here and there. Going solo again tomorrow! =)

一个人

四点多，知道明天是假日，家里一个人也没有。无所事事。毅然换了衣服，背着书包，装着水壶，带了头盔，搽了防晒霜，拿了钥匙就骑着脚踏车出游了！没去向，结果就往南部去了。

沿着海边，轮子转在石路上，迎面而来的风顿时让我轻松下来。蓝一般的海水触及浅色的天。礁石似盾般的强硬，抵挡海浪一次又一次的攻击。浪花击溅！多漂亮。

雄伟的Q1大厦耸立在在那远处一方，鹤立鸡群。但与碧海蓝天相比之下，再雄伟的他也会变得渺小无比。轮子继续奔走。。。

星期天，海边满满的都是人。一家大小出游的时间。好多好多的小孩在沙滩上奔跑，露出无邪可爱的笑容。多么灿烂！当眼神与行人们交触时不是一句问好就是一个微笑。去向还没定下，我继续走。。

一踩也就踩过了一些我熟悉的地方。之后的路皆一窍不通。我跟着心情抉择了去处。我往山上踩去。斜坡换来了腿上的‘累’水。我看见了灯塔，也见到了许愿池。环境的优美不在话下。心里好平静好平静。一个人也是一种另类的享受。

The feeling of away from home is really different. All I have is a bunch of friends instead of my family. We live like a family, really. Another 4 days will mark my 4 months and entering the fifth month here in Gold Coast. Reaching out to each other has never stop especially when shits happen. It does.

~to hold our hands together, to work towards the same goal,

to succeed as great pilots in the future~

Mess Tin

Have you wonder what mess tin can be used for apart from cooking during camping?

Mess tins do wonders. hahahahha. I brought 2 mess tins from my home in Malaysia.

And, they are used:-

• to cook rice
• to cook instant noodles
• to fry eggs
• to cook porridge
• to cook oat
• to cook potatoes
• as bowls
• as container in fridge

Basically you wouldn't need anything else but a mess tin when you have no other utensils to prepare your food. My mess tins have become the most utilised utensil in this house despite having so many pots and pans. LOL.
