Happiness~!

I guess I missed the Christmas and the New Year celebrations.

It has been almost a month since my last post. Or was it already more than a month? LOL. I just know that it has been so long that I have almost forgotten the joy of typing and blogging. ^^,

Life has been busy for me. But albeit all that, I finally managed to find some time to blog again. ^^,

Anyway, I will be graduating soon. One more week to go and I will be home bound for good. ^^, After 18 months of training, I have to admit, I do learn a lot of new things and it has indeed made me wiser and made me a better person. I feel more grown up and felt that I am ready to take on the world. Although of course there are still many things for me to learn and experience. ^^,

Looking back 18 months ago, when I first step my foot into HMA, it does brings back a lot of memory. ~>.<~ I still remember I used to calculate the number of sorties I have to fly before I can graduate – a total of 179 sorties, clocking 200 hours and an infinite number of landings and take-offs. Now I have 7 more sorties to go – 2 simulator sorties and 5 actual flying. I use to dream of sitting in the cockpit. I use to dream of flying high in the sky. I dreamed of doing the ILS approaches. Looking at what I am doing now, it does feel like I am realizing my dream one by one. And it made me think back of those times where my family and all my friends were supporting me. ^^, They still do now, and I really appreciate it.

One more week to go….. I actually feel happy and sad at the same time. Happy for being finally graduating. Sad for leaving this place where I have reside for 18 months and leaving behind all those great instructors and friends….

Anyway, I guess I will stop here. I have to go see an instructor and get his signature for my paper work. ^^, Till I blog again, may god bless you. ^^, Be happy always. SMILE~! ^^,

Inactive

Today I am here to do a little update for you.

If you have noticed, I have not been posting anything on this blog for like almost 3 weeks already.

Well, if you wondered where have I disappeared to, don’t worry. I am still very much alive and kicking. ^^, Its just that life have been keeping my very very occupied these few weeks and I will only get more occupied until January of next year. No Christmas or New Year celebrations for me this year. I will just be focusing on my job.

It is indeed very sad for me. T.T But what to do. Currently, I don’t even have time for my meals, what more going online. LOL. Albeit all that, this inactivity will only be temporary. >.< When things start to clear up, post will be pouring in. ^^, I have so many backlogged post that I haven’t posted yet. >.< LOL.

Anyway, have a nice day and Merry Chiristmas and Happy New Year~! Just in case I couldn’t make it in time. ^^, Cheers~~!

Moral of the story? Choose your buddy wisely. LOL. Have a nice day. Cheers~

Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 due to be released on November 10 2009 sure is exciting news for me. I have played every installations of Call of Duty and this latest installation, Modern Warfare 2 promises even better AI and more efficient graphics rendering. I just hope my 2 year-old laptop can support this beast~. ^^,

Here’s the latest video I found in YouTube uploaded just 21 hours ago. Hot cake hot cake~

PS : Anyway I would like to apologize for the lack of post lately. Have been busy flying these few weeks and am preparing for my upcoming flight test. Also last weekend, I went back to my hometown and whenever I am back, I try to stay away from my computer as much as possible. And this week has been a horrible week for me. >.<

The Pixar Murder

This is the truth behind the Pixar opening – a tale about the Pixar murder. >.< For the faint-hearted, please abstain from watching the video. ^^, I am just kidding~ Watch away~! ^^, Cheers~

Note : Since the video is from College Humor, I cannot embed it here. So you have to click on the link below to go to the video. ^^,

Coolest Water Fountain

This is probably the coolest water fountain you will ever see! ^^, It is really awesome. Trust me~

This water fountain is found inside Canal City Hakata in Fukuoka, Japan. For more details, go here

Watch the fountain in action ~!

Console Battle

The battle of PS3 vs X Box 360 vs Wii. >.< It will be bloody~! You have been warned. ^^,

Found this video interesting, so I wanted to share it with you.

Years ago, I used to play a lot of games. But now, I barely even have time to relax and my life now requires me to travel a lot, so I guess console gaming for me now is quite impossible. Now, I have been a full PC gamer and seriously, I miss all those days of console gaming. PC gaming frustrating at times because of the requirements of hardwares. T.T

Of the 3 consoles in the video, I have not played any them before. >.< Would really like to get my hands on them though someday. ^^,

Note : I would like to apologize for the lack of post lately. Have been quite busy with life >.< . Though of all that, I am trying to post on every weekend. I did not post yesterday because I went to the Sekayu waterfall. Will post it up soon once I manage to upload those pictures. ^^,

Sunday Morning Breakfast

Last week, I had breakfast with Haruhi which you can see here.

So this week, its Kagamiku’s turn. ^^,

My breakfast is fairly heavy right? >.< Well I guess it can be considered as brunch already since I ate them at about 11am. ^^,

This week, we have Chicken Cheese Frankfurter sausages and Mexican Sauce BBQ Chicken~! The chicken taste absolutely awesome~!!! And you might wonder why I always have sausages. Well its because I have fallen in love with them. They taste really delicious and is kind of addictive. ^^,

I forgot to get my supply of fruit juice, so we have no choice but to opt for the Winter Melon drink instead. And which reminds me, I only paid 90 cents for 6 of them. >.< I guess the cashier forgot to punch in the 6 when scanning them. I did not notice it also. In fact I was actually wondering why is it so cheap, because according to what I have calculated, I should be paying more. It was only when I checked the receipt upon reaching home that I realized she had made that mistake. >.<

My breakfast is really unhealthy. Look at all that oil and fat~! No green veggies. >.< So, that is why I am thinking of making mashed potato next week and I might go grab some mini carrots with cabbage and perhaps grab some more green veggies and make a healthy salad breakfast next week. ^^, LOL. Looks like nowadays I have been experimenting and cooking meals for myself every weekend. ^^,

Anyway, till next time~ Cheers~!

Kagami & Haruhi Wishes You….

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~~!!

Both of them wants to share with you that cute little mini moon cake. Any takers? *raises both hands* >.<

Anyway, here are some of the activities that you can do during the Mid-Autumn Festival :

Eating mooncakes outside under the moon

Putting pomelo rinds on one’s head

Carrying brightly lit lanterns, lighting lanterns on towers, floating sky lanterns

Burning incense in reverence to deities including Chang’e (simplified Chinese: 嫦娥; traditional Chinese: 嫦娥; pinyin: cháng’é)

Planting Mid-Autumn trees

Collecting dandelion leaves and distributing them evenly among family members

Fire Dragon Dances

So what are you doing to celebrate? For me, I guess I will munch down that mini moon cake in front of my laptop screen. I do wish I could share that moon cake with my loved ones while enjoying the moonlight together. But I am 600km away from home and going outside over here is not a good idea because aside from munching down the moon cake, I will also be ‘donating blood’, if you get what I mean. ^^,

Navex 5 – TGG -> Kerteh -> TGG

I guess the title says it all. ^^, Its the navigation ’season’ again. ^^,

Well, I did my 5th Navigation sortie a.k.a Navex 5 yesterday. What a great way to start my October. ^^, I remembered I did my first solo on the first day of the month also – the 1st of December.

Anyway, it has been quite some time since I last did navigation sorties and from my past experiences, navigation is really fun. You get to enjoy the great view from above and practically it is quite simple in terms of flying because most of the time you will just be flying straight and level. ^^,

What makes navigation sorties complicated are the various preparations required. To put it simply, its like cooking a dish. You need all the ingredients, then you have to clean them, rinse them, cut them up, slice and finally mixing it all together to make a mouth-watering dish~! ^^,

I will not go into detail on how to prepare for the sortie. But if you need any info, feel free to ask. ^^,

Anyway, let’s get into the main dish for the day! As always, navigation sorties = tonnes of pictures + videos. I would first of all like to offer a huge thank you to my batch mate, Mohd. Afiq, for taking all those pictures and videos and the best of all compiling all of them into a single video. ^^,

Without further delay, I present to you, a 2 hours 10 minutes navigation sortie reduced into a 14-minute video. And just to help you to get your bearings right, please look at the picture of the map above at the beginning of the post. We will start from the Kuala Terengganu airfield (circled green) and would proceed in the clockwise direction (green arrow) with each tiny red circle on my map indicating a waypoint which you will see in the video.

Note : Since I am unable to upload this video to YouTube due to its length, I uploaded it to Facebook instead. Here’s the link to the video. I hope it works.
