It has been some time since ...

Woah. It has been ages since I last wrote on The Journals. Dated to the last post, it was way back in June. So, where do you stop? Few months ago, your truthfully had been busy with lotsa stuffs, particularly with studies. Courses and courses came lining up in front of your door-step, beginning with Basic Digital Avionics (BDA) Phase 1 for 2 weeks, Phase 2 for a week, followed by B737-400 Type Courses. Haha. Yet, the B737-400 Type Course stretched as long as 6 phases for a duration of 2 and a half months. Phew~ Things never stop there as I resume my Basic License Oral Assessments, and now, I am currently waiting for my final Oral, which is, the most important; the Aviation Legislation of Malaysia. All the Regulations numbers, Airworthiness Notices have been my companion since the past week. Haha ... My scheduled date for assessment will be on the 16th of November, roughly 2 weeks from now. Ouch~ Go, go, go Keith!

24th of September? Sounds familiar? No? Yup, it is your truthfully big day; his birthday anniversary. A year older, a year wiser and a year stronger, ya? Definitely. My colleagues bought me a Birthday Cake; Green Tea with Red Bean Cake. Woah, that's my first time knowing of such a cake actually exists! Haha. Thanks to my besties out there, Wen Jie, Daniel and Ewin for being so thoughtful ... And of course, Auntie Jenny, for her wonderful gift.


Celebrated at Snowflakes,
a famous well known Taiwanese Dessert Shop in SS15.


This coming Monday, 1st of November will mark a milestone in the history of MAS, as the first ever wholly-owned aircraft will arrive and land in Malaysia for its voyage flight. Dressed in its new livery colors of 1 MH, I present to you, the new B737-800, with registration 9M-MXA. Woah! New aircraft, new cabin interior and new hopes, MAS certainly want to bring the best for all of us out there; to reach the unreachable and to strengthen its dominance as the prominent figure in the eyes of the Airliners. Let's wish MAS to soar higher in the years to come! :)


9M-MXA was carrying out a flight test in Seattle,
the land of Boeing, Co.


Thankfully, I managed to get through all phases of my B737-400 Type Course; it will be my stepping stone to further acquire my B737-800 Type in the future. Main target for this year of 2010 has to be to obtain my Basic License Without Type Rating (LWTR) from the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) Malaysia. Am currently working on an older version of B737-200, known as the Jurassic. Being an older version of aircraft, age of more than 30 years old, it is all back to basic principle and operation. Instead of high-bypass CFM56 Engines, the -200 is fitted with low-bypass JT8D engines. Look at these engines with the Clampshell-type Thrust Reversers. How magnificent! More exposure, more experience and more hands-on, that's are what I need most in order to improve myself; to establish as an Licensed Aircraft Engineer by the year of 2011. Set the aim, and charge! :)



So, that's a very slice of me,
will be updating soon when time permits!
Am jetting off for a trip to oversea with Dad next week,
stay tune!

Cheers,
KeithK :)

TAME71's Sungai Kanching Outing

Sungai Kanching Waterfall
Front
: (L-R) Jamala, Ayu, Asna, Nurlin, Ain, Ina, Anisah, Nad, C-Tah
Back: (L-R) Afiq, Firdaus, Aarif, Rosli, Nisa, Your truthfully,
Farha, Nantha, Suhaimi, Aely, Nik, Che Azahar, Yong


A spontaneous unplanned trip turned out to be one of the craziest trip ever. Despite the last minute planning, heated-up arguments and unfavorable decision, we strolled through firmly with a plan which satisfied everyone. This is our very first outing as a group; being 4 years together in training. TAME 71 set out to conquer Hutan Simpan Taman Lipur, Sungai Kanching, Kuala Lumpur. For more details on maps and direction, click here ...

Five cars, 22 of us, ventured through the hassle of city life to a step closer to mother nature for a much-needed break after Basic Digital Avionics (BDA) examination on Monday. The journey from Shah Alam to Sungai Kanching took us 45 minutes drive. It was indeed a great unforgettable experience with laughter and joy. BBQ, Waterfall Swimming and Hill Trekking were parts of our half-day activity in Sungai Kanching. It is rare to hang out together as a big group, considering all of us have their own plan during holiday. Therefore, after BDA, before our B737-400 Type Course begins on this coming Thursday, we decided to chill out with fellow batch mates. Something memorable for TAME 71 to reflect back in future, ya? Haha ...


More pictures and story to come 'bout Sungai Kanching
We are all charged up for our B737-400 EIR Type Course
All the best, mates ...

Triangle Dumpling

This morning, my room-mate, Wei Liang gave me a "Bak-Zhang" or commonly known as Zhong Zi in Mandarin. His father came down to KL for this weekend, and for the first time, I had a taste of Penang's Zhong Zi. Somehow, it tastes different and unique with flavor of its own. DuanWu Festival which falls on the fifth day of fifth month in the Chinese Lunar calendar is celebrated by the Chinese nationwide in remembrance of Quan Yu, the famous Chinese scholar who served the King of Chu. For more information, click here ... Have you all eaten Zhong Zi for this year?


Happy Weekend,

Experience with 2532

Today marks my first day of one week off. After this, I will be having a packed schedule with Basic Digital Avionics (BDA) and B737-400 Type Courses coming up, stretch all the way until end of September. Tried to clear my balance 12days leave, yet, there are still 8 more days after this one week off. Well, guess it will just be burnt off, ~Poofff~ Yeap, I am back to Kuching. Home Sweet Home!

Last night, flights were quite full as holiday season has just begun. Parents are taking children for holiday, people are traveling as airliners offer various discounts and fares during the summer. I was in the Operation Dispatch Control (ODC) Office for jump-seat application. To my surprise, there were already two applicants for the next flight's jump seats. The last flight, chances to get a jump seat was slim, as it was three crews flight. Normally, they don't allow outsider into the cockpit besides the pilots, because, the Cadet Pilot could be having his practical and assessment with the seniors. My thought was preparing to stay overnight in KLIA; I stared outside the windows and I saw a bunch of hyper-active reckless kids roaming around. Damn, it wont be a silent and peaceful night in KLIA with these kids around. How could I ever sleep with such a high decibel of "noise pollution" here?

I sat in the ODC canteen, waiting for my friend, Abg Nizam from ODC to call me. He was trying to help me to persuade the pilots to approve my Jump Seat. Not too long after, he called me, "Keith, ada jump seat untuk MH2532, you nak ke tak?" Woah, I screamed in my heart with joy and gratitude. "Nak, nak, I datang sekarang!" To my information, one of the applicants decided to pull back her jump seat application last minute, so I just managed to slot into her place. Yeah, I am going home :)

So, MH2532, with registration of 9M-MML in bay A7, here I come. On board, I met another License Aircraft Engineer (LAE) from KLIA Aircraft Maintenance Unit (AMU) . He is senior for 10 years. So, co-incidentally, we were asking for jump seat as well. There we go. He is an experienced LAE for Airframe and Engine (A&C) who involved in the repair of 9M-Mike Mike Romeo who was stranded in Kuching Airport back in few months ago. He has the opportunity to work along the Boeing experts on Mike-Mike-Romeo. Woah ... We chatted during the flight 'bout our working environment both in Subang and KLIA. According to him, Abg Azahar was on weekend trip to visit his wife, who is a Sarawakian and at the same time to attend a wedding ceremony in Kuching. Lolz :)


Initial supposed jump seat was upgraded to business class seat
since there were two empty seats due to last minute passengers' withdrawal.
Woah, that's so cool! Big spacious comfy seat,
delicious audacious meals with 5 Stars Service from Cabin Crews,
I was indeed felt more than just MH - Malaysian Hospitality!
The Cabin Crew even addressed you by your name,
how sweet and privileged you will feel!
Good job, MH!


Tea Tarik and Salted Peanuts
Snacks before flight ...

Dad has just installed HD on Astro for World Cup 2010!
Yeah, so much excitement watching HD television ...
The level of details, the saturation and contrast of colors
are just magnificent!

Happy Weekend, guys and girls ...

Hello ...

Hey there,
Woah, it has been almost a month since I last wrote here. Never did I abandon The Journals for more than 2 weeks, what to say, almost a month. Over the months, world is still spinning, days had gone by in a flash of time. Yeah, we saw Lee Chong Wei was beaten tamely by Lin Dan in Thomas Cup semi-final in Malaysia. Chelsea won the EPL title with merely a point ahead of ManUtd. And recently, just last week, a B737-800 had crashed-landed in Bajpe Airport, killing 150 over passengers with only few survivors. Early investigation has revealed the aircraft was suffering from aqua-planning; it failed to stop in time, overshot runway, crash and then burn to catch fire. Another mishap in the aviation industry ...

Currently, I am still on the hangar floor; doing practical and working on a B737-400 aircraft from India for a C-Check. This is my third aircraft from Line 4, and I have to say, I have seen and learned bit by bit everyday. Standard maintenance practices, visual inspection skills, Operational Test, just to name a few. Theoretical in class definitely will not be able to expose me to such skill and experience. Now, at least, I will be able to relate, put the puzzle pieces together from what I have learned in class. I found out one thing 'bout me. I am not sure whether it happens on others, but, I must admit, I find difficulties to work properly when someone is keeping a sharp eye on me. I felt the pressure of being watched sometimes. Even a simple task which I am familiar with, I can still grumble and mess up thing. Screw me! Get rip of this! Maybe, I should keep calm and relax; think carefully and not just do blindly ...

Last month Mother's Day, I was back in Kuching for 3days. Bought Mum a Hush Puppies Shirt. She just loves Hush Puppies' franchise. Just a simple gift for her as a token of appreciation. Mum, you've been the best Mum, and I love you, Mum! Went out for dinner, and guess what, we couldn't find any place. All were fully booked. After the third tries to different shops, we finally settled down for a Mother's Day dinner.

Next week, I am applying for a week off; will be flying back to Kuching. Before that, am going for another four task assessments. Some of my senior colleagues have gotten their Red Book License from the DCA; and this really encourages and motivates me to push myself toward obtaining my basic License. So far, assessment has been going fine, but, there are still plenty of subjects to sum up. Of all these, tough subjects are waiting; Autopilot, Auto-throttle, Material Hardware ... Furthermore, third week of June, am attending three months stint of courses, Basic Digital Avionics (BDA) and B737-400 Type Course. Therefore, a holiday is most welcomed; after all, I need to clear off my balance leave of 12 days out of 16 before it expires in the month of September. Probably, a retreat trip to the outskirt will do. Initially, Dad was planning for an oversea trip with me, but, nevertheless, it will a school holiday season with Hari Gawai in Sarawak, so, he just couldn't take any leave. Oh well ...



Just a little update from me,
Will be writing more if time permitted ...

Happy Wesak Day!


Cheers,
KeithK :)

Hey Hey ...

Hello, I'm back, after missing in action for the past few weeks. For the last two weekends, Dad and sis were here in KL, and I had a great jovial time spending with them in Malaysia Airlines' Academy (MAA). Ouch, how much I miss the air-conditioner and MAA's super softy comfortable bed. Haha :)

Currently still working in Line 4 Hangar 1 on a Boeing 737-300. Learning is fun here; everyone is friendly and unselfishly assisting each other. I have some opportunity to hand on plenty of maintenance tasks that I have never done before. Some were rather complicated, some were simple, but most importantly, I am learning bit by bit. Comparing to other apprentices, they are far more experienced than us. Indeed, I am still trying to catch up with everything even though I have been on the hangar floor since December 2009. Lolz :)

Had my lunch with my friends in METC this afternoon. It has been ages ago since we sat down together on the same table. Daniel and Nicholas drove us to Taman Paramount for the well-known famous Roasted Duck Rice from Sunshine Restaurant. This dish really reminiscing my memory back when I had Beijing Duck in Beijing. Haha ... 8 of us, 2 ducks were sacrificed on the plate! Woah ...


Am going out for a yam-cha session with
my friend and his Dad now. See ya around ...
Good night!
Happy Weekend ...

Cheers,
KeithK :)

Have you switched off your lights?

Evey year, for the last Saturday of third month,
people around the world join their hand together to uphold a promise,
that is, to switch off all the non-essential
and electrical appliances
for an hour from 2030 hours to 2130 hours in order
to raise awareness of drastic climate change nowadays.
On this day at that particular hour,
iconic landmarks such as Big Ben in London,
The Forbidden City in Beijing and
Sydney Opera House in Sydney
will be in total darkness.
True enough, climate change has been a serious threat to eco-biodiversity;
taking an example of the recent rare hailstorms strike in Perth a few days ago.
Click here for more details.
So, are you playing your part too in conjunction of Earth Hour 2010?


Lit up candles during power-off from 2030 hours to 2130 hours.
Save energy, save power, save our Earth!
Unless a new safer renewable power resource
has been found, one day, soon or later,
the precious petroleum and gas supply
will be depleting and eventually run-out of supply

Take your first step now,
conserve electricity!
You can make a difference!

Happy Earth Day 2010 ...

Cheers,
KeithK :)

Sweet like Candy

Weather nowadays is unpredictable; one day, it can be burning hot and dry, the other, it can be just cloudy and as if a thunderstorm will strike sooner. So, I thought it will be wiser to have something more healthier, to keep ourselves fit and strong. Just a moment ago, while I was having dinner with my friend, Nic, I came across this Chinese Pharmaceutical Shop in Kota Damansara which sells some herb tea. Without hesitating, I grabbed them. A 500ml bottle eventually cost me an awesome RM2.50. Woah :)


"Lo Han Gua" / The Monk's Fruit
Traditionally, this fruit is used for
herb tea and soup to aid in
healing sore throat, respiratory ailments
and reputes to aid in longevity ...
Its natural sweetness and non-toxicity
are the best ingredients to quench
your thirst especially during hot weather :)


Stored them in fridge for tomorrow's supply ...
Like it!
Sweet sweet :)


All the best for Nic who is taking part
in KL Tower-thon tomorrow ...
He will be running up 2000+
steps all the way to 328m above sea level ...
Hope he doesn't "pancit", that's what
he was telling me just now ...

Cheers,
KeithK :)

Ching Shan Yuen

A road trip of half an hour will take you to this place; Ching San Yuen also known as Green Mountain Temple at Muara Tebas Village, Kuching. The temple has been patronized by both locals and tourists, especially the Buddhists. The temple was strategically constructed atop of the hill, overseeing the wide open South China Sea, probably maximizing the ideal of Feng Shui. Surrounded by the Malay kampung, this place has grown prosperous and rich as more people are visiting the temple complex, thus slowly developing into one of the prominent tourist attraction in Kuching. Ching Shan has existed more than 200 years back on this ancient site, where sea travelers along the South China Sea will stop by to give thanks to the God after safely sailing across the Sea back and forth. It has undergone a major renovation since; the last time I have been here was a decade ago. Yeah, maybe more than a decade ago :)


Many people were thronging in and out of the temple
as it was Chinese New Year at this time.
Every new year, people come here
to pay their respect to God and Deities;
asking for abundance of blessing and prosperity.
Climbing up the stairs had been a setback,
as it was crowded and packed.
Not too high, approximately about 100 steps,
you will reach the Temple Complex.


Ching Shan Temple is guarding and overlooking over South China Sea.
After years, this sea route is still as busy as before.
Ships and boats are sailing; cargo transportation, fishing and trading.
Love the serene view here;
if only the weather was fine and not cloudy on that day,
it would be superb to take pictures with the
South China Sea as backdrop ...


Burning Joss Stick on Prayer Urn ...
Pray for the best of the year to come!


The symbolic giant Buddha's foot outside the temple
I saw a similar one in Wuxi, China back in 2005.


Mum and Dad


Dad sat on the stone scripture that reads, "Ching Shan Yuen"


The temple management does prepare food and drinks
for the visitors during festive day.
Apart from Chinese New Year,
food and drinks are also served during the
first and fifteen day in Chinese Lunar Calendar.
The Vegetarian Fried Mee is super delicious.
Although, it is just merely fried mee with vegetarian oil and cabbage,
it is indeed satisfying!
Eat with Chili Sauce,
yummy yummy :)


Blue Sky ...
Shot this before I went back;
after the rain, the clouds made way
and the sun was again to be seen with blue sky.
Yes, I love Blue Sky!


Got to go ...
Happy Weekends, everyone ...

Cheers,
KeithK :)

Ms Chong's house ...

Without realizing, the curtains for Chinese New Year 2010 will be labored to draw a close tomorrow where the Chinese will celebrate the end of Spring, also known as Chap Goh Mei. Many houses I had visited, but, this particular house is where I reminisce all the old good sweet memory in high school, yeah, proud to be a Thomian; my beloved St Thomas School! See, even my teacher, Miss Chong is still wearing Thomian uniform even though she is no longer working in St Thomas. Miss Chong has been an influential person in my life. She has taught me well for the 4 years I had with her in Prefectorial Board. She has groomed and molded me into who I am today. Part of my self-development and career path are shared with Miss Chong; her motivation, her encouragement and her advice have been my treasures to explore the new world after high school. Thanks you Miss Chong ...


We have made a promise to gather at Miss Chong's house once a year, that is during each Chinese New Year. This is the time where everyone get along together under one room; those who study aboard will return home to meet with old friends. Every year, we will share our own story with Miss Chong, nevertheless, she loves to hear our story because everyone has different experience to tell. We cherish the time we had together, our laughter, our joy and our cry; they are all priceless!


Happy Chap Goh Mei
May this Chinese New Year be filled with
abundant of joy, wealth and prosperity!

Cheers,
KeithK :)

Lion Dance in the Neighbourhood

Today is the 12th day of Chinese New Year according to the Lunar Calendar. In the split of time, Chinese New Year of 2010 is coming to an end. Flashing back, it was as if yesterday when I actually packed my bag; preparing to fly back to Kuching for CNY, and now, I am back here in Subang to continue my practical. Wow, happy moments really passed so soon ... Indeed, this year CNY for me is a boom! I have been enjoying every moment of them; the food, the people, the fun, the laughter and the gatherings. Haha :) Just to re-cap, on the 3rd day of CNY, my best friend, Chung Ann threw an open house with Lion Dance show. Being my bestie, of course, I will attend to his house. Free camera-man for him, what's else can he says 'bout me, yeah? Anyway, thanks for the lunch treat. It was awesome food!


The guy with red and white stripes shirt is my best friend,
Chung Ann.
Look at the amount of food he had prepared;
we had Sweet & Sour Pork Rib,
Thai Style Pork Rib,
Deep Fried Squid, Fillet,
Yang Zhou Fried Rice and more ...


The Firecracker
It will be burnt as the Lion march in later ...
The "bi li ba la" melody of Firecracker will
blast away all the bad omens
and brings in all the best of luck for everyone;
reconciling the legends in olden Chinese history,
where the villagers will burn the Firecracker
during CNY to scare off the "Nian" monster


Here come the Lion team ...
We all have been anticipating since just now,
finally, they arrived after delays
for close to an hour ...
~Phew!~
Well, that's very normal as the Lion team
usually go house to house for performance,
hardly, they can keep the time
accurate due to unforeseen circumstances ...
Haha :)



The twin brother posed in front with the Lion heads


Ready, set, go, go, go ...
~ Dong dong chein ... ~


The Drummers team ...
Rhythmic beat of drums and cymbals enlighten the event
It was just so happening in the
neighbourhood ...


The Golden Lion entered the house, to bless the family


Ready for the blessing ceremony ...
See the Round Cabbage, China Long Cabbage,
Long Bean, Oranges on the table?
They will be used for preparing the gifts later
to the host by the Lion team
Not so sure why these items are chosen;
most probably they represent good signs;
for example; long bean may represent longevity,
mandarin oranges represents prosperity and wealth ...
Haha :)


On the floor, preparing the gifts ...


The Black Lion, nicknamed, "Guan Gong"
is said to bring luck in running business and entrepreneurship.
The Chinese believe "Guan Gong" will bless us for abundancy
for the new year to come.
"Ong lai, Ong lai ha ...!"


A close-up shot ...
I like this picture personally,
what 'ya think?


Putting the gifts back on the table ...



Look!
The Lion had just drank,
did you see the Beer can on the floor?
Lolz :)



... and it is drunk now!
Performing the Drunken Fist for the audiences ...
It was so funny with some
imbalance and humorous acts left and right


The "Guan Gong" was playing with the children
They were all so happy and smiling wide ...
When I was young just like them, I used to be very scare with Lion;
some more with the gruesome and the hard-beating drums,
I was most of time, hiding behind my mum and dad ...
Haha :)



The Cabbage Flower on the table;
to be presented to the host
and the owner of the house ...



The Lions saluted and paid respect to the
owner and host of the house;
marking the end of the performance and blessing ceremony.
Yeah, bye bye Lions,
see you next year again!


Gong Xi Gong Xi ... :)
