My new 50mm

Corner Talk: My mind is troubled with plenty of stuffs to think about. No about girls, obviously, don't get wrong. I am moving house, for your information; actually things come up at not so quite an appropriate time, especially with final examination of Module 13 is just around the corner. I apologize for updating very few on The Journals. I guess, I have to switch to "Exam" Mode soon. With barely enough time to swallow all 5 thick books for Module 13, I will need to fully utilize my time for revision, rest and leisure. Keith needs boost of inspiration now ...

Back before Hari Raya 2009, I bought a new lens
from my best friend, Ewin ...
A real superb lens for portraiture shooting
with F-Stop number as low as 1.7
Can you imagine how shallow the depth of field
this lens will be able to give you?
Presenting, the Konica Minolta 50mm f/1.7
It is a prime lens, so,
it cant be zoomed in or out either ...

What is so great about this 50mm that I decided to take it up?
Here's some of the results ...
Enjoy :)

1) Amazing Depth of Field, and

2) Super sharpness and fine detail!


However, time dedicated for camera is
very much limited.
So, these pictures above are just for
sneak-peak ...
Will be updating with more photos
in future, probably after my exams and so

Have a great weekend, pals,
Cheers,
KeithK :)

Muruku Muruku

Corner Talk: Had a quiet weekend mostly spent with my Module 13.5 Electrical Power; revision is on-going with so much of notes to cover, Instruments, Autopilots and Radios, just to name a few. Final module to go before completing theoretical training in college; some of my friends have alredy start counting down days to OJT. Oh my ... I need a peace for revision now; I need more motivation and discipline to keep the ball rolling. Really ... This is serious!

The Hindus around the world celebrated "Deepavali" aka The Festival of Light on the 17th of October 2009. Deepavali, sometimes known as Diwali is celebrated as a symbol of triumph of good over the devil within an individual. The Hindus community in college spent us "Muruku", a special delicacy snack made of rice flour and spices flavourings. Yum, yum ... Thanks you, Nantha, Dharshunu and Vicky for the "Muruku" ...

Happy Deepavali!

Till then,
KeithK :)

Voila Mr Au ...

Well wishes from Class B2/01/07 Batch 06

14th October,

Mood in college was gloomy, even though activity was carried out as per normal; everyone was rather reluctant to bid farewell to best instructor, Mr Au Ting Ling who was on his last day of duty as Training Manager. Despite his growing age, he shows no sign of tiredness, yet, still going strong together with us. He has been our best friend, our best instructor and best mentor. He takes care of our well-being and welfare as if our second father. His advices are still ringing in our ears. His favourite words, " ... You fella ... " and " ... you must be joking! ... " have never been forgotten. When all these come across our mind, without realizing, we will laugh softly in our heart, at the same time, tears dripping warmly from our eyes. We were indeed missing Mr Au. His presence has enlightened our training in college, we laugh and joke, we sit and have coffee together; all these will become another piece of memory that we will keep with us along the journey ...

At 630pm, before he left the college, he waved goodbye to everyone of us. Again, he reminded us, "Next time I see you all, make sure, you come with a 3 golden bars on your shoulders!", putting his 3 fingers on his shoulder showing us the sign... Yes, we will do it! We will remember your challenge!

Dear Mr Au,

Thanks you!

May God bless you bountifully ...

Happy Retirement!

Gracious,

KeithK :)

A weekend in October

Corner Talk: I must admit that I am living in the in the shadow of science and technology revolutionary age. Why not? Days without constant Internet connection is a torture, and of course, updating blogs for me has been an obstacle. Facebook-ing is also parts of my routine, and till now, I have no idea why there are so many human getting addicted to Facebook, including me. Currently, I am doing Module 13.4 Radio, super-duper tough subject to learn, need lotsa imagination and patience to understand the concept. Sometime, my head just blown off after a whole day of class, back home, my bed has been my best companion. Haha :) At the same time, I am also working on a "Big Project" for college. Will update you all with more details once things are finalized. Besides, I am looking for house to move, otherwise, I think I will be staying under the bridge! Still deciding whether to rent a house or just a single room! Sigh ... ~ Pressure is mounting high ~

Last week, I was telling you all that I will be going to the USAF Thunderbirds Airshow in Subang Airport. Here the photo ... Actually, there are still plenty of photos, but, then, I think it is best to reserve for next post (not sure when, but soon as I have the time) so that I can cover them in more lengthy. I was actually stucked in the traffic congestion upon arrival, and luckily, we have Subang Airport passes to gain access to airfield area; trust me, we have the best spot to see the airshow, better than those VVIP seating. Lolz :)

Group picture with fellow colleagues,

(L-R) Nic, Timothy, Wei Liang, KeithK,

Ah Hing, Ewin and Wen Jie.

Spot the F-16 Fighting Falcon flying over our head?

Woah ... :)

On last Sunday, a total of 18 cars went for Raya's Open House

visiting at 7 houses,

covering all over 250km distance around Nilai,

Sepang and Seremban.

Biggest gathering so far in college ...

Gosh, we had so much of fun and joy, laughing, chit-chatting away

and of course, food, food and food!

Mee Bandung, Beef Pepperoni Spageti, Nasi Lemak, Nasi Tomato,

Roti Jala, Nasi Ayam and Asam Laksa,

just to name a few ...

More pictures to come after this :)

Group picture taken at Seremban, Izzuan's place.

Can you count how heads were there?

Guess, come on!

Best wishes,

KeithK :)

Zhong' Qiu Jie Kuai Le'

Corner Talk: First week back in college was pretty busy with plenty of pending stuffs to get them done. Proccessed tons of documents for On-Job Training (OJT) in Malaysia Airlines Engineering and Maintenace (E&M) during December. Finally, after three years of waiting, finally, I got my Staff ID with its number. Woah ... It is just overwhelming! Module 13.10, On-Board Maintenance System (OBMS) had completed within two days, and now, currently, doing Module 13.6 In-Flight Entertainement System (IFE). Trust me, IFE seems to be a simple system, but, it has proven me 180 degrees wrong! IFE is tough, I had a headache; figuring how the digital audio is transferred from the audio player along the line down to your screen in front of your aircraft's seat. It took me merely two hours to get rip of it ... ~ KeithK is starting to love IFE ~
