Possessionless

I am gonna have to stop writing for a while.For quite some time.So yeah,stay safe people.

'At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home.Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes -- all you need is one.'

Time wont let me go

Yesterday one of my good friend in flying school Nizam or better known as Nije texted me.He was one batch my junior and a MAS cadet.We used to be good friends since we share the same instructor and im the only one in my batch who got this captain as an instructor.He was known as one of the most furious instructor in my school.The sight of your call sign together with his on the sortie board is enough to make your stomach hurt.

So we always sit,discuss and study together.He's older than me and one of the nicest person i've ever met.The type that wont get a fit and swear easily.Come to think of it he never swears! When he texted me last night,he reminded me of something that i used to do.I told him that im going to do KBR sector today and he replied 'Wow,i still remember you used to wait at the apron waiting for the airbus to land and take off,now you're flying it.'
So it got me thinking,yeah i used to do that every single morning.I would come early for that.Last time the apron is connected together with the main building so it's easier for us to move around.I dont think that the students can do that now right?

It also reminded me how i would meet Miss Sierra everytime she landed there in KBR when she was flying the A320.She used to give me the strength and courage to finish the course.
It only felt like yesterday when all this started.I certainly miss those days and i miss all the nice people that helped me go through everything.

One time,i flew navigation with Nije,It was his sortie and he flew the Piper 28 for his CPL stages but i flew the DA-40.Since i have rating on both aircraft and it's been while since i flew the Piper i decided to go for mutual with him.The thing about piper is,the aircraft is so freaking old,with basic navigation instruments,and it smell bad.Like vomit-ish bad.But i wanted to fly her again before i graduated so that's why i followed Nije.
It was a 2 hours and 30 minutes trip and the route includes Tanah Merah, Kuala Krai,Gua Musang,Kuala Relai,Tasik Kenyir Terengganu airfield,Kg Marang,Perhentian,Kg.Raja,Tok Bali,Bachok and back to Kota Bharu.Something like that la.Being an old school aircraft we need to use the traditional maps and solely depends on it and the VOR.

After Kuala Krai enroute to Gua Musang,the visibility started reducing and patches of clouds everywhere.The fact that there's not much of  prominent features along the route except hills and hills everywhere does not help the situation.But we still decided to proceed.And then we got lost.Hahahah.Ok it's not funny.I saw that Nije started having doubt with the track that we following.I was panicking inside too actually but i tried to hid it.
So i told him ' Relax relax kita pergi terus jer'. Walhal i also have no idea where the hell are we! Dah la piper,with the smell and all, i was having a major headache and could throw up anytime.But suddenly,we saw a railway track and i know it will always lead to Guan Musang and voila! It's there! It was a great experience and i didn't flew the piper ever since then! Because with the DA-40 we have GARMIN 1000 so there is no need of the map actually,even in the bad weather we can just follow the GPS.

Nije did the landing at WMKN 22.



When i landed in KBR just now,it was kinda an emotional ride,the sight of Abang Nazri there waiting with his friends,just make me so happy.I appreciate and touched by the presence and all the kind words.Don't worry,your time will come and i am so proud of what you've achieved so far.It will only get better :)

I started watching One Tree Hill back.It's the 7th season now and i pretty much can say that i grew up with it.If you notice some of the quotes that i used are from the show.I don't know why but somehow i feel like i can relate to the show and they never failed in making my days better after watching it.I think it would be the end of the world if they decided to stop the show.Even though Peyton and Lucas are no longer in the show,one tree hill will always be one tree hill.

I would like to quote some of the dialog that i found very interesting.

Quinn :"it's just a feeling that i have,this isnt what i want for the rest of my life"
Haley:"people have the right to change Quinn"
Quinn:"yeah but they also have the right to stay the same! they have the right to be the person they always been."

Do you think that people can really change? Do you think that people will always leave?

Light up the sky

I went and watch Time traveler's wife last night.It was good.Rachel McAdams is just perfect for the role.For you emo people,please go and see the movie.And i suggest that you go alone.For you single people lah,not like you have any other option do you? *sob* By the way,what's up with people who always come late for a movie? Dont you know what time management is?Menganggu konsentrasi.Next time im gonna lock the door.Hahahahah kau ingat kuliah?!

I was browsing through youtube for ATC conversation and i came across few interesting one that i would like to share with you guys.But im sure some of you have heard it.Communication between aircraft and the controller is very important.It is so vital that even small mistake can cause a disaster.One thing about the controller is you need to be nice to them.Because if you don't,you'll either get scolded or they vector you out and sequence you the last for landing.Hahaha.I am not sure how true is the latter but i've heard of it.Sometimes they can be a bunch of tense people,sometimes they can be the coolest person,so it all depends.

Once i was flying my navigation sortie from Kota Bharu to Terengganu and normally we have to report our position at certain point.I was flying overhead Kg Marang and reported to her,then she asked me 'confirm Marrrrang or Merrrrang?' then i replied 'maaaarrranngg.' and she asked me the same question again.I realize that she have a problem of pronouncing the letter 'R' so i end up spell it out to her.M-A-R-A-N-G.After when i came for the approach,she gave clearance 'Clear to langggg runway zeghooo four' and i couldn't help but laugh while transmitting.

One time Kota Bharu tower trick my friend by asking whether he is overhead Kubang Kerian when he reported that he was overhead KB town 1500ft.When he told the tower that he is overhead KB town not Kubang Kerian,they replied 'Alaaa  abe,dekat laaa tu'.So yeah they can be funny as that.

But sometimes,when it involve safety whenever there's a lot of traffic,don't ever make a stupid mistake.One time,someone make an approach on the the opposite side of the runway that he was cleared for,the tower got sooo mad that he was asked to meet them once he landed.

You might get some idea by watching this videos.It's so cool.Enjoy!

The film did not go 'round

How's your weekend peeps? I met one of my good friend when i was in matriculation after 4 years.Reminiscing the days that we went through there was just hilarious and funny.I truly had a great time.My course mate was the best! Going to matriks was hard for me at the beginning,since it was my first time being away from home,so i got homesick for few weeks.The students from east coast outnumbered students from KL so it was a bit hard for me to adapt at first.But turn out they're the best people to hang out with.I don't really mix with those from KL there since they tend to have this 'i'm so much cooler than you' attitude.

Anyway,honestly i went there not for studying.I have no idea what the hell did i went there at first place.It was like 10 months of honeymoon for me.Probably because i felt intimidated by so many brilliant people in one place i just gave up.Korang semua jer la study.Hahaha.And the other thing was because i wanted to become a pilot so bad.So i couldn't focus on anything else.Kononnya lah!

Nevertheless, i am still my lecturers favorite student :p.Not because i am smart or anything but probably because i talk a lot.One of my favorite lecturer was my math lecturer.She's a mother of one and one cool lecturer.She graduated from UK so i really like to kacau her with the british accent and all.Yes,i am an anglophile.Everything about em' fascinates me.*cough* Cheryl Cole *cough*.Back to my lecturer,well most of my lecture mates scared of her because she's kinda garang in a way.Whoever late for her lecture will get kicked out and she'll lock the hall.But if i got late,she'll just look and say 'Haaa,late again..'.That's all.People get jealous over that.
But the bad thing about being recognized by the lecturer is that they tend to call out your names all the time.

Imagine there's 200 plus student in a lecture hall,suddenly your lecturer called you and ask you to solve the question in front.With the microphone,projector and 200 staring eyes.Scary i tell you.And you can't really escape the lecture.They'll notice if you're missing.Like one time i skip the lecture because i was so sleepy,the next day when i came she asked in front of everyone,with the microphone,'Yes Flyfreak (bukan nama sebenar),missing from my lecture yesterday,where did you go?' and all heads turn towards me.After that i never skipped her lecture.But she's really a nice person.Someone that i could take to and gossip with.

So many stuff happened there if i wanted to talk bout it,it'll be ages.But another significant event was when one of this girl from my course got caught together with a guy in the male toilet,at the night of Nuzul Quran,by a group of people coming back from the mosque! Tough luck.When they were questioned,they said that they almost had sex but tak sempat.Boleh? Some people took the matter seriously but i found it rather funny.
Because first,that guy looks like he hasn't been eating in years.Second,dude,it's the toilet.Could you find any other proper place or at least wait for the weekend or something? Third,they thought the place was secluded enough being a lecture hall toilet and no one would go there at night obviously but still they got caught just because one of the guys decided to use it since it's the nearest one.Kesian no? *ok tharish i cant help but using the catch phrase :P*

Haihhh so many good ol memories there.I was close with this 3 guys.Syam,Faheem and Din.Each one of us has different goals.I wanted to become a pilot.Syam wanted to be a pharmacist.Faheem always admire the medical profession and Din wanted to further in mechanical engineering.

And you know what,each one of us is doing what we always wanted to do.Syam is in General Hospital now.Faheem is doing a veterinary course and Din is in his final year in UM doing mechanical engineering.Story about faheem is kinda hilarious.Faheem was not a big fan of animal.Whenever he sees cat or a cat trying to approach him,he'll flip and shout 'Get those THING awayyyy from me! shuhhh shuhhh!' So when he was offered to do Vet i laughed and told him 'Tulahh,now you have to work with animals your entire life!'
One time he told me,'know what,i did the grossest thing today,i have to put my hand in a cow's arse,why me? why?!'

We all came from different background,but yet we are all same.Trying to make the best out of our lives and i am glad that we all get do things that we love.That's what matter most.Even though we didn't get to meet each other that often,but we know,we're there for each other.They will always remain there because they were part of my journey in achieving my dreams and so am i to them.You don't get to meet good people everyday,so why not savored those you already met.

Ok,for those who knows me well,they know that im a sucker for novels.When i was in flying school i read this book entitled The time traveler's wife and i did blog about it in my old blog.It was so good.Brilliant.So last month i came across the DVD of this movie.I didn't know that they were going to adapt it to movie.So i went frantic at the sight of it.Of course i bought it la.But the thing is i haven't got the time to watch it.But now since they're playing it at the cinema,i might as well just go and watch it right and it better be as good as the book.I swear i will burn the cinema if the movie sucks.No la i am kidding. But i will sure as hell get disappointed la cause im sick of all the producers who trying to make money out of a bloody good novels and destroyed my imaginations.Hampa ok hampa.Look at Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner,Harry Potter to name a few.Yes i am the biggest Harry Potter fan don't play play.

So yeah i might go and watch it.One of my blog reader told me that it's good so we'll see about that ;)
Remember i posted a link to Leona Lewis new video clip?,i just found the clip on youtube so im gonna post it again.Watch till the end ok.It's good kan Mr.M ? hahahahah You're Michale Buble pon not bad la.At last you got taste in music.Enjoy.



Someone once told me,that you have to choose
What you win or loose,you can't have everything

So what if it hurts me?
So what if i break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge?
My feet run out of the gorund?
I gotta find my place,i wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause im just trying to be happy

What have we got to lose

Just now,i read a blog belong to a friend.Haven't visited hers in months.We only met few times since she was my friend's girlfriend but i don't think that they're still together.She deleted all her previous posts but leave one last post where she wrote about things that used to happen for the last two years when she first started.How things are different back then and in present.

I do not know her that well to judge her but i truly admire her courage and braveness in facing the world when she got nothing to fall on.People change and we move on.It's us that decide what is good for our self,not others.And she did the right thing by standing firm on her decision.

Anyway,her post kinda inspired me to write about stuff that i think i've written before but never mind about that,you guys don't really need to read this.

At first when i started writing,my intention was,i want this to be a place where i can log my journey to remind me how it all started.So that i do not forget where i came from and the road that I've taken to be where i am today.It was rather a personal thoughts at the beginning and i didn't expect it to be as public as it is.Not kennysia or  yoga instructor publicly, but you get what i mean.That is why sometimes i wrote about personal stuff,outings,ramblings etc because i do want to read about it again in the future.Like in 10 years time,if i read back my God's laugh post,i'll be thinking 'Oouh,i used to feel that way before and i do still feel the same way 10 years after,i guess i haven't change at all'.See the point?

But i am glad that people do read my ramblings,because i believe that we can mutually share our thoughts in certain issues and make us feel like we're not the only person who feel certain way.And i have made friends through blogging.So i did not lose anything by sharing with the people out there,aint it mate? But of course when you know that people gonna read your writings,you'll feel a lil bit under pressure,yerla takut grammar terabur,teroffended,terpoyo,terperasan bagus dan lain lain lah.Tapi yang penting apa,tak paksa baca kan?!

I write a lot. I like to jot down whatever that crosses my mind at any place any time.In my phone,laptop,notebooks obviously,journal,any tempat yang boleh di tulis lah.Sometimes,when i read back,i don't even know what i wrote.And i love to write people's conversation in my phone whenever i am bored waiting or anything because it's always funny when you read back.For example this is what i wrote in my phone while waiting outside the magistrate court to pay the summon,remember? 'Muka i ni kasi itu tandas kotor ker?' 'You tak baik tau buat saya macam ini.' ' Aaah bini dia tak bagi jumpa anak dia.Dia kahwin dua diam diam'.

This type of typical normal conversations always fascinates me.There's this Chinese lady wanted to use the toilet.But apparently they only have one toilet for public use which is for both sex.And woman's toilet is strictly for staff only.So when she was informed that the toilet is for both gender,she questioned the police officer 'You mau saya itu kencing pancut kaa? you tak baik tau buat saya macam ini.' Agak comel dan kelakar ayat dia sebenarnya tapi apa ke bodohnya tandas share?

Ok,gone too far out of topic.While i was browsing through my folders,i stumbled across this files entitled notes,stuff that i wrote circa 2008.I noticed that how fast things can change in a short period of time.
People who live,died.Friends become foes.Things that you wish for is granted.Some are not.That sort of thing.

I am really stressed out at the moment..I guess everyone who's in this line will go through the same thing.But then i thought,when i was in flying school,i did experienced this whole stress drama thing,but how did i cope with that last time? so i read back all the stuff that i wrote and that's it i found it!

Back then,i was kinda of a loner.I don't talk to people about private stuff,how i feel,what i do or where i go.I do everything on my own.People mistake that as being reserved and unsocial or maybe selfish.To my batch mates at least.But that is just me.For example,i would wake up early in the morning,when everyone is asleep and wait at the bus stand,just take any bus that pass through and see where it goes.I used to walk all over KB town alone,find good place to eat,just sit and observe people and in the end of the day i would go back to the hostel and feel good about myself.As if i've just accomplished something big by being on my own.There's one time i walked from KB mall to KBMC (orang orang KB tahu la kot jauh tak jauh) to visit one of my batch mate who was admitted in the hospital,alone.Of course none of my other batch mates knows about it.When i went back,some of them make a fuss about it,making stupid remarks on how i like to do things alone,that i probably went out for a date la..that sort of nonsense.Perlu ke bagitahu semua benda pon sebenarnya? That sort of stuff you know.I should not dwell too much in this matter.

That is why i am a bit emotional when i talk about my flying school days.That place taught me a lot of things.My strength,my weaknesses,my belief and friendship.It's a place where not too hyperbolic for me to say  shapes the person that i am today.

Back to how did i cope with stress back then,the answer is very simple,JOG! yes,jogging. I love jogging.At one point im addicted to it.Yes they can be addictive you know!
So what i did was every single day,every evening,i would jog in front of the crew residence.With my headphone on,listening to the same music back to back,and that's it.There i will meet the same joggers,cewahh ada geng pulak and soalan standard 'berapa round dah?' 'boleh lagi boleh lagi come on!'
So,that would be my routine.On weekend i would wake up early in the morning and jog all the way to the end of traffic light,turn right and there will be a small bridge fit for only one car at a time to pass through and it is the best place to view the sunrise(gila detail).It's so fantastic i tell you.Damn it i miss that place.
After all the running,eventhough it was exhausting,i felt good.Don't you feel sooo good after working out?

Physical exercise releases damaging stress hormones, virtually moving them out of the body, generates endorphins (feel-good chemistry), increases levels of serotonin and balances the brain. Exercise also generates new nerve cells in the brain and enhances the connections between brain cells, which chronic stress shrinks. That can trigger depression, which shrinks the brain even more. However, there is great news. Exercise reverses this process; in fact, exercise causes the brain to grow and flower. After you exercise, you reap the rewards of the relaxation response both physically and emotionally. You have met a challenge and accomplished it. This process reinforces your personal empowerment and actually raises your threshold for stress, which transfers to all the stressors in your life. Google.

Apart from that,i made a vision board.I wrote what are my goals,pictures of stuff that i want so badly and stare at them every single day.Try to set something to look forward to.If didn't kept a journal or write about this sort of stuff anywhere,i might have forgotten how to handle certain issues that i have encountered before.See how important notes are!

Since i was so much of a loner back then la kan,i always pray to God to surround me with positive friends,i do not need a thousand,but a few quality one would be great.And alhamdullilah,my wish was granted.This people are actually already there all along in front of my eyes.It's by chances,fate,and luck that we get to know each other.Few friends from childhood remains the best eventhough we dont get to meet that often,but we're there for each other,friends from flying school that i wished i knew sooner not after we finished! apam who i met by sheer luck.You guys know who you are ;)

It is true that when God took something from us,He will replace it with something better.He is after all knows what is best for us.I couldn't wish for any better.But i still do miss the people in Kota Bharu,for each one of them has taught me different things.I do not want to hold grudge against anyone,we are only growing older not younger,plus aviation world is not big,balik balik muka tu jugak jumpa kan?

Since i've neglected my physical needs i.e exercise for quite sometime,just now i went to play squashy! It was such a relieved! Im feeling energetic and happy :)

Reminiscing the old days

Wednesday morning

*kringg* * kringg*

Me: "Hellooooooo pammm,what's up what's up?" (baru bangun tidur)
Ms.Sierra:"Pammmm,jom pergi Melaka? abang ajak"
Me:"Huh? tiba tiba? bila?"
Ms Sierra:"Sekarang?"
Me:"aaaa okayy!"

I needed a getaway anyway.Life is so stressful at the moment.Went there to visit Ms Sierra's flying school,MFA.

Asia Pacific Flight Training
22 friends are fans
Become a fan

hahahaahah for some reason,the fact that my flying school now have a group is ridiculously funny.Why do i even write about this at first place.Shit.I need entertainment.
