Happy Thaipusam

(Picture was taken from Google Search.
Didn't make it a trip to Batu Caves this year, anyway. Haha ...)

Today is Thaipusam holiday; a day for all Hindu around the world to call for an obligation, to convey the prayers whole-hearty to their God and to offer peace and blessing to both friends and family. Thaipusam is celebrated, usually on the month of January/February to commemorate the birth of Lord Murugan, as well as the significant event of where Parvati gave Murugan a vel (spear) so that he could fight the evil Soorapadman. There will be a massive parade in Batu Caves. Thousands of Hindus devotees will throng the Holy Temples as early as in the morning. Street parade with devotees carrying kavadis, food fair and multiple cultural performance will be the main attractions to watch. Weee :)

Happy Thaipusam, specially dedicated to
Nantha, Dharshunu and Vignesh!
Happy Weekends to all too ...
Cheers,
KeithK :)

Lee Chong Wei will be action against Thailand's Boonsak Ponsana while Kin Kiat and Boon Heong will be up against Chinese's pairs, Guo Zhengdong and Xu Chen in the final tomorrow.

Cartoon has played a part in my childhood growing process.
I recalled one of my favourite cartoons when I was kid, is
this; still going famous and most welcomed by kids nowadays ...
Presenting this is, Tom & Jerry Show!
I still watch Tom & Jerry now and then,
will always tune to Cartoon Networks
on Astro back at home.
At least, Tom & Jerry is far more
entertaining than these modern
cartoons, such as Ben 10 and Teen Titans.
Feel relax when watching cartoons yo,
it is just another kind of awesome
entertainment ...

Here you go,
enjoy :)
Don't you think so,
"Laughter is the best medicine?"





Best wishes,

KLCC Night View

Corner Talk: Went out with Nicholas to watch ManUtd's game versus Burnley just now. It was overall an exciting game with ManUtd dominated the game for most of the 90 minutes. The down point was the lack of defense by ManUtd as Burnley occasionally launched counter-attacks that could vulnerably ruin out ManUtd's victory in home soil. Van der Sar and Nani are back to the squad, notably Nani as he is able to provide crosses to the strike force. It seems ManUtd has lose part of its attacking force, as, many chances were blown off with ball ended elsewhere but not behind the net. Dmitri Berbatov, Wayne Rooney and new boy Mame Diouf scored for ManUtd in the second half, making it a comfortable 3-0 win over Burnley. Yes :)

Picture of the day ...
KLCC at night ...
Beautiful lighting isn't it?
I have never really appreciated the beauty
of KLCC night view until that day ...
Most of the time, I go to KLCC
at daytime, so,
decided to shot this up as memory!

Am heading to bed soon ...
Plan for tomorrow: Prepare for my Oral Assessment Kit
Going to submit 4 tasks this time
Hopefully I can reach my targets before CNY

All the best,

Kuchingnites' favourite breakfast

Corner Talk: At the moment, I am having short courses in class; Basic ETOPS had just completed last week. Coming up, there are: Fuel Tank Safety, Radio Telephony, Aircraft Towing Procedure, FAR 145 Awareness and Company Procedures. Have been preparing for my Oral Assessment for the next few weeks to come. Have to catch up for the lost time due to New Year holiday. Oh yeah, something shocking just occurred in the neighborhood. Few churches in Klang Valley had been burnt down to ground by a group of extremists who strongly oppose the use of word "A l l a h" in churches. The hot issue is yet to cooled down, hope no one is injured. We should be looking into ourselves; is this a way of life for Malaysia? So, what are the differences with Malaysian as compares to group of terror? So called 1 Malaysia? It is time to reconcile the stand into practice ...

This is the famous Kolo Mee from Sarawak ...
Kuchingnites' favourite breakfast in the town
Since coming to West Malaysia,
I been trying all sort of Kolo Mee mimic
here and there,
but nowhere is as original and as tastier
than at home soil ...
Not even the stall in M in g Ti e n in Taman Megah
can give a good fight!
Some more claim to be made by Kuchingnite
from Sarawak.
Fake!
Haha :)

I will never miss to eat Kolo Mee
everytime I'm back in Kuching
Warning: This is a non-halal dish!
One of my friend told me:
I'm flying back every month just
to satisfy my taste buds with this!
I was like -.-"
Haha :)


Hungry?
Oops ...
Happy Weekend, guys and girls ...
Cheers,

Ringing Into 2010 from 2009

A decade has passed through since the days of Millennium@Y2K. The day of 1st January 2010 hits the bell around the world with people of all walk of life are looking forward to a better year; more prosperous, more success and more happiness. To begin, The Journals would like to wish every reader a "Happy New Year 2010!" As for this post, I would like to recall back what's the happening last year as we drew close the curtain of 2009. Let's roll the dice :)

Your truthfully was featured in MH Blog twice with his posts
entitled Growing Up with MAS and
Insight of TAME with METC
in the month of August and November respectively.
If you miss out the post, no worry,
just follow the links below ...
Thanks for all your supports :)

Year 2009 Hari Raya was crazy.
We went for a Raya's convoy by visiting 7 houses in 18 cars altogether.
Distance travelled was close to 250km covering areas
particularly in Sepang and Nilai.
Food was delicious and tasty,
thanks to the warm welcome by hosts
of our fellow colleagues :)

We soared high in the sky with their fascinating
yet exhilarating airshow by F-16 Hornets Thunderbirds
from the USAF in the month of October.
We were indeed very lucky to have the
best VIP site for the airshow
- what to ask more if you were just in front of the aircraft itself.
Great show, great performance,
definitely it is a boomz!

I have also moved to new place now;
no longer staying in Kelana Jaya,
but to a different area in Shah Alam.
Located about 15 minutes drive to Subang Airport,
it is somehow rather the same distance from my old place.
I am now residing in Shah Alam Section U5 with
my housemate, Wei Liang from Penang.

Basic training in METC has been completed with the end of
Category B2: Avionics courses in the month of November 2009.
13 modules altogether were held in the bag,
thanks to God's blessing, I managed to overcome all of them.
2 years of full structured On-Job Training (OJT)
will continue in MAS Engineering & Maintenance
alongside Type Courses.

My batch mates (TAME 71B2) and I
are given the opportunity to do B737-800 Type.
Woah, it will be a new challenge for all of us.
This B737-800 is a new variant of New Generation (NG) aircraft.
MAS has recently bought about 38 of this aircraft;
currently there are 2 in operation,
the rest will be delivered soon by the year of 2010 October.
Indeed, I was glad to be selected for this type;
B737 is just the right stepping stone to start familiarize
with complicated aircraft's systems.

Bought new lens, an Konica Minolta 50mm Prime Len
and a Cybertik DF MZ45 Flashgun to add to my Sony Alpha 200.
Year of 2009 was not so much of photography
due to hectic schedule, but, nevertheless,
there are still some pictures to show off with ...
Lolz :)

With KM 50mm, the depth of field is so tempting!
Sharpness is never a down point with this prime lens.
This prime lens has the ability to go as low as F1.7,
suitable for low-light condition.
Haha :)

Sunset photgraphing session in Lundu Beach
Love the colour of the blue sky :)

Celebrated my 22nd birthday at home with
mum and dad for the first time after I came to KL.
All this while, my fellow colleagues have been singing
"Happy Birthday" song to me,
but, not this year.
Haha :)
Sister, Karen and brother, Kelvin
bought me a special made Chocolate Vanila Tiramisu Cake
with a MAS colored B747 colored on it.
Woah! Best ever present I had gotten ...
Thanks to my family.
Love 'ya all :)

December 2009 was the month of festive season and holidays.
Most of the public holiday fell on Friday,
hence, we had decided to head down for a road trip to
Malacca, the Historical Town.
Located to the southern side of Peninsular Malaysia,
148km from Kuala Lumpur,
the drive took us a total of 2 hours.
Malacca Town has been listed as
UNESCO World Heritage Site since 7th July 2008.
No actual purpose for this trip;
we just wanna to get loose ourselves after
completing our examinations in college,
yes, it is free-and-easy, relax-and-cool trip.
Haha :)
Local food and delicacies were of course in our target list;
Durian Cendol, Coconut Ice Blended,
Hainan Chicken Rice Ball and Satay Celup Lok-Lok
were all checked and done!
Your trufully was standing in front of the Maritime Museum,
the replica of Frol de La Mar Ship.

Walking into the year 2010,
let's all pray for the best of year to come ...
Set your goals, set your resolutions,
and work towards achieving your dreams of tomorrow!

With love,
always and forever ...

Cheers,
KeithK :)
