This is the horse that brought me to the crater of Gunung Bromo. The man standing besides is the master of the horse.

请你许个愿- Make A Wish

2010-09-18T13:26:00.003+08:00

Local residents believe that wishes would come true after making wishes and throw the flowers into the crater of Gunung Bromo and normally the flowers to be thrown in are beautifully decorated by themselves. Goats, cows, chickens and ducks are banned by the local government nowadays. That is why people replaced the animals by flowers.

Gunung Bromo- Mt. Bromo

2010-09-17T19:57:00.003+08:00

Mount Bromo is in the middle of vast plain called the Sand Sea (Indonesian: Lautan Pasir), a protected nature reserved since 1919. The typical way to visit Mount Bromo is from the nearby mountain village of Cemoro Lawang. From there it is possible to walk to the volcano in about 45 minutes, but it is also possible to take an organised jeep tour, which includes a stop at the viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan (2,770 meters) (Indonesian: Gunung Penanjakan). The best views from Mount Bromo to the Sand Sea below and the surrounding volcanoes are at sunrise. The viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan can also be reached on foot in about two hours. From inside the caldera, sulfur is collected by workers.

Tourists could choose to walk themselves all the way to Gunung Bromo or by renting their own Jeep. The drivers would normally stop at a point which is popular for viewing Sunrise and the whole view of Gunung Bromo after that the drivers then fetch the tourists to the desert of Gunung Bromo where tourists can take horse riding to the crater.

People here in Gunung Bromo (Mt. Bromo) used to rest at the stalls which are selling snacks, instant noodles, hot beverages and many more before they continue their journey to the crater of Gunung Bromo. They used to sit on the small little wooden stool and having their hot beverage just like the guy in this photograph.

Horse riding is famous in Gunung Bromo (Mt. Bromo) which is an active volcano and part of the Tengger massif, in East Java, Indonesia. Travelers could choose either horse riding or by walking to the Gunung Bromo, at 2,329 metres (7,641 ft) and this is not the highest peak of the massif, but is the most well known. The massif area is one of the most visited tourist attractions in East Java, Indonesia. The volcano belongs to the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park.

Thusday Morning 9:00am

2010-05-13T09:06:00.002+08:00

Have been awhile that I did not write any entry here huh?
People might be thinking that why does this fellow like to write in English but sometimes in Chinese?
Actually It depends on the mood of the day that I was having.
The weather seems bad today morning, the skies covered by a very thick layer of cloud.
I think the cloud ceiling is only a thousand feet or more. The wind is blowing strongly, staking out and looking at the skies, I miss home and I miss everyone who is distance apart from me.
Silently, the rain start falling on the floor, smoothly and secretly by the time I turned back and look up to the sky.
I can hear the leaves clapping their hands and the rain has start falling..Not too much, just like the shower.
Listening to the Jazz music and watching the rain..
You are my only one, my family and you.

Rainy day

爱满叶家

2010-05-02T13:08:00.005+08:00

我是一个会经常面对思乡病的人，记得小时候在阿姨家睡的时候，突然觉得胸口闷闷，心里有种很酸的感觉，那时候脑海里一直出现爸妈的脸孔，只觉得心情很差很想哭，所以逼得阿姨让爸妈在三更半夜把我带回家，这就是我第一次的思乡病。
现在人长大了，但是对家里的心还是没有变，可以说对家人的爱一天比一天地深。
离乡背井让我的思想成长了许多，学着不再依赖父母，很多东西也要自己拿主意，已经不能什么事都跑到父母那里诉苦了。
以前小的时候根本就没有烦恼，唯一烦的就是每次发成绩的时候，担心又要被妈妈狠狠地打一顿了。小学开始妈妈就从来都没有到学校领过成绩册，每次都是爸爸自己一人开着他那小货车去领的，因为妈妈说这么烂的成绩会很丢脸，每次我都会坐在班上的后面看着爸爸的表情，每次领了过后他都会笑着说考得不错，没有被调去下一班哦。那时我和弟弟是在从后算起的第二班。从一年级开始到六年级，没有进步。现在回想起那时候的爸爸，心情一定很不好受，哪里有座父母地不想儿女成龙成凤？哪里有父母被老师说自己的儿女成绩差的时候会笑呢？但是我的爸爸就是那么的伟大，他就是会反过来安慰我们。他每天都必须一大早就爬起来准备我们五兄弟梳洗，早餐，校服和零用钱，然后就会把我们一个一个送去上课。以前家里的环境不是很好，每天爸爸得一早起床去用炭火来烧水给我们洗脸，因为他知道我们的小手不喜欢冷水。
大家可别以为我妈妈什么都没做，她可是一位颜良俗的的妻子和妈妈。我知道妈妈每次因为一早就要去上班所以才没有去领过成绩，反而她会用另一种方式去激励我们，说以后等我们成绩考好了就会去领。还记得小学的时候突然看见妈妈在下午休息的时间出现，带了饭让我和弟弟吃，我真的是特别地开心，真的很开心。
到了中学时期，因为小学的成绩差所以就得从预备班开始，那一年我考到了全班第一，是我一生人的第一次，爸爸妈妈当然是特别地开心，所以从那一年起，每次领成绩册的时候都会看见爸爸妈妈的影子在校园里出现。初中一开始，我就是在学校的第一班了，因为自己不争气，所以在班上成绩只是平平而已。妈妈最担心我们的学业，时常督促我们，以前会觉得很烦，但是现在回想其实他们是如何的用心良苦呀。
今天的思乡病让我想通了很多，已经想通了要以什么态度面对他们，必须以他们对我的心去孝顺他们俩，
出生于这个充满爱的家庭是我一生中最幸福不过的事了，爸，妈咪，大哥，二哥，三哥，弟弟，我爱你们。我要把我的一生奉献给你们，我有的一切，都会和你们分享。

爱满叶家

It Was A Special Birthday

2010-04-29T10:27:00.004+08:00

Date: 17th-28th April 2010

Came back to Bintulu on 13th April, at first I thought my coming birthday would be so lonely without the celebration with my family and closet friends. Celebrated the second year of birthday in Bintulu. It was kind of nice for the first year celebrating in Bintulu but I still prefer to have my day with them (Family and best friends).
To be honest, I am the type of people who always get home-sick easily. I miss home always. Sometimes I even felt like crying when I really miss home a lot.
The home-sickness was getting worse ss my birthday was approaching, I was super moody everyday, do not feel like eating, not interested to do anything. The sour pain inside my heart was indescribable. I hate that kind of feeling, I know it will takes about a week to get off.
It was 16th April, Friday night, I felt like crying again....I miss home !!
Wink* Wink* I saw a sms " Please pack your stuffs, Peter will go and fetch you around 7.45pm, we will overnight at his place and he is going to treat you dinner tomorrow night as you birthday gift." from Edward....OMG, I was so touched and I cried in my room. Headed to Peter's house and slept over for a night.
It was Saturday, got up early in the morning to have American breakfast cooked by Peter. Then continue browsing internet as usual, Andy Law wanted to drag me along to gym and swimming and I of course went with him....Took shower and got myself prepared for the dinner that night. Because Peter's friend from KL has just arrived in the afternoon, so they said wanna show him the penthouse. So, we went up to the top floor, all the lights were switched off while I stepped out to the balcony and they started singing birthday song. I was so happy to hear that. So I turned around and I saw a guy holding a birthday cake with the candles lighted up. Who is that? Look so familiar..Is he the worker under Peter?
Is he Danny? One step closer... Is he Danny? Another step closer...He looks like Danny...Steps closer...Danny, what are you doing here? I was speechless.. I cried..
Thanks Danny....Thanks for giving me a so special birthday this year.

Lang Tengah

2010-04-25T13:00:00.009+08:00

About the orange colour waterproof camera, I have bought another one but in green colour this time,because It can captures great pictures.
I really like the quality of the images although it is super cheap.
Anyway, Lang Tengah is a great place to go.. I love the resort that I have stayed for 3 days, but do you know why I like the resort so much? Because we have 2 private beaches, 2 swimming pool, and the most important thing is that all the guests staying there are foreigner, so I felt like I am having a vacation in Europe. Hahaha....
Let show you guys some of the pictures of Lang Tengah Island.

The Resort: d'coconut picture from the internet

This Island is seldom visited by Malaysian, because they would choose Redang Island but for those foreigners would rather choose Lang Tengah.

Cessna 172 Skyhawk

2010-04-22T10:29:00.004+08:00

Start flying Cessna 172 Skyhawk for my Commercial Pilot License.
It is nice flying this aircraft, a lot better compare with the Eagle-150B.
This is an unpressurized aircraft, which has a certified ceiling (max altitude) of 13,500ft (4,115m).
Compare with the Eagle-150B, this aircraft acts a bit slower.
The control surfaces responded slower than I have expected, that is why who is flying it need to anticipate everything earlier.
Cessna 172 Skyhawk comes with the auto-pilot which is super duper cool. You does't need to fly the aircraft, it can flies by itself. Nice right...
Here are some pictures about the Cessna 172 Skyhawk which I've got it from the internet.

A Special Entry For You

2010-04-14T09:26:00.004+08:00

I'm back to Bintulu again, saying bye with everyone in Kuala Lumpur is kind of hard and sad. Because I am sure I am going to get a badly homesick.
As everyone who really knows me well, I am a mommy boy, I love to stay with my family.
There is once my dear who had ever told me, be balanced to the other family, I couldn't be so selfish that only sticking with my family members but forget about the other family members that my dear has. It is true !! I am too selfish, because I wanted you to become one of my family member so badly but I have forgotten about your family.
I miss my family and I know how deep is your misses toward them too.
Thanks for the understanding that you used to have on me, thanks for everything that you have done on me and my family. Thanks for loving me so so much... T.T
You are the best that I have ever met.

Love

Finally, I've Times to Update My Blog

2010-03-23T15:19:00.005+08:00

Hey everyone, It has a really long time that I did not update my status huh?
Anyway, I guess I am lazy perhaps??
I am back to KL for 2 weeks, gonna stay here longer than I have expected.
My cousin sis' wedding is on this coming weekend and my Hong Kong friends are coming to visit my family next week. Guess what, we are planning to go to Singapore's Universal Studio and going over to an island nearby Singapore. That gonna be FUN FUN and FUUUUNNNNN !!

I have bought a camera that I wanted to get it so much and I got it at nearly half the price as what I saw in the online shop ^3^
This camera could be used underwater, YES!! It is a waterproof camera and it allows a depth of 3M, not bad right for the price of RM39.90
This camera could take nice photos...although it is cheap but do not judge a book by its cover.

Finally, my Gakken Flex's very first roll of film is now developed.
The photos came out nice and the soft focus on the top and the bottom on the photo is awesome. I just like the way it be...

Another special section for Danny, he is back to KL from his Hong Kong trip.
The souvenirs are nice ^^, thanks for that Danny.
Thanks for the Muji case and the FOODS !!!!!

Have Funs

农历年三十晚

2010-02-24T13:34:00.003+08:00

13th Feb 2010, 农历年三十晚，团年夜

每年一度的团年饭就是在今年的2月13号（星期六），本说好要大伙一大早起床后就立刻出去扫货。
谁知。。。他们还是睡得很迟，帮妈妈准备了一些当晚需要的材料后就马上准备午餐。
吃过午饭的时间也不早了，大概已是下午三点多。过后大家才舍得开始梳洗准备出去逛街，我们家有个很奇怪的习惯，就是每年都一定是在年三十晚才出去办年货，买新衣，晚饭后大扫除，赶着在午夜十二点正之前冲凉洗头。这一些事每年的年三十晚都是在重复着，很温馨也很搞笑。
我们四兄弟，大哥，二哥，我和弟弟大概四点多才抵达PAVILION，把父母和佣人留在家准备晚上的团年晚饭。
然后就开始血拼，既然Thomas也刚巧在PAVILION就和他见了面。
最后我还是什么都没买才是重点，竟然。。竟然。。。什么都没买！！
回到家已经是傍晚六点多了，继续帮忙准备晚餐。。
晚餐终于准备好了，大伙也换好衣服准备拍照！！
晚餐时间9：50pm ，用完餐后好像是大概11.20pm。。这就是我们叶家每年的团年饭时间。
最后还得谢谢许玮杰把我送到机场去，一大早就要爬起床真难受！
也谢谢Maggie把我从机场接回家，真是不太好意思！

没事干，快让我滚回家。。。过新年！！

2010-01-20T09:32:00.004+08:00

一年一度的农历新年又要到了，但是这里一点新年的气氛也感觉不到，不知道为什么人长大了就会这个样子。
还记得小时候每到新年的期间都会有一种莫名的期待感，只不过这种感觉已经好久都没有试过了。
只知道它们都在不知觉中渐渐地抛弃了我，好想念你们！
好想念小时候那熟悉的炮竹味，好香好香~~还有那一种被年初一炮竹声轰醒的感觉！
你们都这么忍心抛下我吗？
民都鲁让我多添了一份想家的伤感，一种我从来没有体验过的伤感，一种说不出的酸在心里揣摩着，那种悲从中来的感觉很叫人讨厌。
每当我一有假期就即刻飞回家陪家人了，和他们在一起真的很幸福。。
那一种温暖，没有任何东西可以代替，他们的嘻哈声我可以不顾代价地换上。。
家永远是我最终的归属，无论有多幸苦，我答应自己会拱手把自己献上！
所谓，树高千丈，始终都有落叶归根的一天。。

须知饮水思源意，
百善应推孝为先。

I've Got My 'Airlines Transport Pilot License' (ATPL) Result

2010-01-14T12:26:00.004+08:00

Here it comes.... Waited for 3 weeks and the result for my ATPL is finally out.
Studied so hard for that particular 6 subjects in such a short period (2.5months), imagine how hard do I need to study just to finish 7 books for 6 subjects in 2.5months.
My daily routine was:
6.00am: Wake up and get ready for classes
7.30am: Lousy breakfast
8.15am: Classes
10.15am: 30 mins break which used for doing revision
10.45am: Classes
12.45pm: Disgusting lunch
1.10pm: Start doing revision
2.00pm: Classes
5.00pm: On the way home
5.30pm: Jog/Play Ping-Pong and shower
6.30pm: Most TERRIBLE meal of the day
7.00pm: Revision
12.00am: Finally my resting time

This was what I did during my ground school life, It was super tensed and exhausting.
My eyes became redness while I used to study too hard.
Eventually, I've done all my ground school...Hooray..
This is my result, the passing marks for piloting course set by the Civil Aviation Authority is 75 marks.

Radio Aids: 89
Instruments: 83
Flight Planning: 94
Navigation: 90
Meteorology Theory: 83
meteorology Practical: 94

Thanks To The Click Shop

2010-01-11T16:36:00.004+08:00

First of all, I wanted to thank The Click Shop for having Gakken TLR DIY camera give-away competition and thanks for choosing my photograph as one of the Top 10 photos out from the Flickr group named Lomonation.
It was an awesome competition or I should say it was a photos sharing session, because everyone is sharing their photographs all over the world which taken with their tiny toy cameras, it gives me a warm feeling while browsing through the photos from Lomonation, we are that far apart and we do not know each other but yet, we are having the same interest.
Oppsss.... I've forgotten the purpose of writing this entry is to welcome my Gakken TLR which won from the competition held by The Click Shop.
Anyway, I can't wait to get my hands on it.... Gonna try some slide films on it.
Hoping that the photos would come out great..
Do visit my flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/yipchoonwai/

So excited

2009-12-14T20:10:00.002+08:00

Has been a long time that I did not update my blog huh?
Writing here tonight because I'm so excited with one of the Gakken DIY TLR camera winning contest from TheClickShop.
Actually I'm just trying my luck and I'm surprised that one of my entry has caught their attention.
Which has been uploaded to their blog, although the contest is not over yet.
Anyway, thanks TheClickShop for promoting my photographs..

已经是第三个星期了

2009-10-16T17:52:00.003+08:00

离开家人已经是第三个星期了，说是真的很不舍得，但是还能怎样呢？
正在忙着课业的我还有一点时间偷懒，趁着晚饭的铃声还没响，把握时间写写部落格。。
这里的生活真的很难受，食物更不用说。。LINDA's CORNER 永远都是最好吃的。
希望圣诞节快一点来临，因为这样我又可以见到我的家人和朋友了。
我刚读过Danny和Maggie的部落格，很想念你们。
Danny：你说有了第二个家的感觉，我真的很开心。。因为你的心里也把它当成了一个家，谢谢你。
Gie: 我还是在等着去你的家那一天，聊天。。。当然还有吃咯！！

Time Passes By Real Fast

You guys are my best friends for the rest of my life I PROMISED..
I love you guys: Danny, Mag-Gie and OO.

真的很不想回去民都鲁

2009-09-27T22:32:00.004+08:00

一眨眼一个半月的长假就过去了，真的很不舍得在吉隆坡的家人很朋友。。
现在的心情很沉重，因为回去过后还需要等三个月才能够再回家，而且在那里就要回到坐在课室里从早读书读到晚上的生活了。。。真的很不喜欢，因为为期三个月的 CA6 会有六科不同的科目要读，例如：天文学理论，实际天文学，导航，飞行策略，仪器，无线电通讯。。。还有很多很多的资料需要温习，可能每个月只能上一次互联网。
压力真的很大很大，因为真的希望可以一次通过所有的考试，不必重考！！！
其实我最不喜欢的事是又要带着面具做人了。。。因为别人的妒嫉，让我蒙上不知的罪名。

朋友们，我想你~~~~
家，我更想你~~~~~

唱 K 咯 ^3^

2009-09-03T00:30:00.002+08:00

31st August 2009

今天终于有唱卡的机会了，好像有整整一年没有踏进过K房。。
因为在外地的关系，那里的卡拉OK都是什么金燕燕之类的，可能还会有陪酒女郎哦。。哈哈~~
这间位于Sunway Pyramid 的 Amp Square 真的还不错，便宜到烂，还有比（红盒）还好吃的东西，从早上十一点唱到下午四点半。。你说不哑也还真的蛮难。。
然后就去吃Nando's ，快要被辣死在那里了。。

Penang And Langkawi Trips =3=

2009-08-26T22:50:00.008+08:00

17th August - 22nd September 2009

Long awaited trip for me and friends..
The first stop was Penang and Sungai Petani, the next was langkawi and eventually back to Sungai Petani.
It was a really nice trip, I guess because I've never been to Langkawi? That is why I felt great when I was there..The sea looks blue and green, the contrast of the clouds with the stunning blue sky was really nice.
Foods were delicious and the hotel we've spent two nights were really comfortable and the phenomenon there was so romantic, especially the toilet with a glass surrounded shower space and a bath tub..
Looking out from the room windows, a swimming poor and the great sea view can be seen.
Rented a Totota Vios as our daily transportation, rounded the Langkawi island with a map as our guide.
Black Sand Beach was my favourite beach among the others because of its scenery, imagine the very clear sea water with the black sanded beach !
Let's discover the stories by looking at those photographs that we have taken during these trip.

Say Bye To SPL ( Student Pilot License )

2009-08-26T22:09:00.003+08:00

Yeah !! Finally I can say Bye to SPL..

Thanks Danny

2009-08-09T13:33:00.002+08:00

Yeah, we knew each other since August 2006 during our A Level course.
Excatly 3 years back, still remember we had the same dream of becoming an airlines pilot. But you didn't attend neither lectures nor tutorials, I was the one who went to your place and begged to go to college, called and wake you up very morning before I leave my house...Haha, that was so funny....
Afterall, we are still so close ah.... of course we are close with the later comer. Maggie Goh.....
Thanks for the entry in your blog, Danny same goes to Maggie.

Borneo International Kite Festival

2009-08-06T12:34:00.004+08:00

5th August 2009

Went to the Borneo International Kite Festival in Bintulu old airport.
I have never seen any kite like that huge...It was really interesting, thought I would never have the chance to see that, thanks to Brian who begged Alvin to fetch us there since he knew I really hope to go....
Drank a lot during dinner + supper in 新意园 restaurant, continued drinking in Brian's room...Hahaha, watched movie with him until 3am...
Anyway, enjoy the pictures of the kites if you would not have the chance to see this in your place.....
Should not drink so much, but occasionally should have been doing that with some friends.....

Nice Kites

太想家了

2009-08-04T11:57:00.003+08:00

最近没东西可以做。。只是在学校宿舍待而已，所以也没什么东西可以吃，就只有快熟面和零食。
在这里的日子让我太想家了。。。。
其实也不懂自己已经消瘦了多少。。只知道好像又比之前瘦了。。

我想回家，可以吗？

诗巫疯狂食旅

2009-08-02T21:33:00.006+08:00

31st July - 02nd August 2009

诗巫在我的想象里是一个很古老落后的小镇，但是事实上它是一个。。。
它是位于砂拉越中南部的一个城市，它也是一个以福州华人居多的土地，可以说是九十巴仙的居民都是我们华人同胞。
我可没想到它却会是一个如此令人乍舌的美丽城市，不仅是建筑设计，风土人情，就连每条大街或小巷都可比吉隆坡的还要清洁，我真的很喜欢这个城市，如果有机会的话，你们也要亲自去那里看一看和吃吃他们道地的美味小食。
它们有一间刚殿立起来的教堂，是花费了一千八百万打造而成地。。。我当然有在里头参与过他们的主日崇拜咯。。
里头还有我人身第一看见过的管风琴。
吃吃吃。。。。。太多好吃的了。。。当然会选有浪漫情调的餐厅咯。。。

I Am A Private Pilot License Holder

2009-07-29T20:23:00.002+08:00

29th July 2009

Today was my Private Pilot License progress test, which was really scary and made me felt extremely nervous.
I was suppose to fly 9M-BEX, but the aircraft has been taken by one of my batchmate.
So, I was forced to fly 9M-BDP that I flown once one day before my test.
After getting airborned, the Examiner and I heard a weird sound which came from the back from the aircraft, after getting done with all the exercises. I did my steep turn and max rate turn at just 500ft that was really close to the group.
He is a military trained pilot, he shown me some of the acrobatic flying skills, Loops, changing 180 degree of direction in the shortest time... It was FUN FUN and FUN.
You will never experience it unless you are so lucky like I did.
Finally, I've landed....the weird sound that came from the back was because..THE FUEL TANK CAP has been dropped out since the moment of getting airborned.
It's not my fault, I've closed it as the way that the engineer told me to...
I've discuss it with the engineer the day before, but he told me it should be alright.
Luckily, the fuel doesn't finish flowing out to the air while doing sloop and other exercises..Captain Chow the examiner doesn't blame me about that because I've told the engineer the earliest time after I've got to know that the Fuel Tank Cap doesn't works well.
Waited for the result for so long, Capt. Chow purposely wanted me to wait, so that I might feel nervous.. I kept asking him the result and he replied : You will never give up to know, aren't you..
Finally, waited from 2.20pm-6:00pm....Capt. Chow: It was a nice flight, Well Done , or you still want me to say you pass ?
Haha...Funny him....
Oh Mama....I've paseed it, I'm officially a pilot....
I want to fly you all over the whole...

1.5 Hours Left For PPL Progress Test

2009-07-27T12:17:00.004+08:00

Just landed at 0210 UTC for my navigation flight to Sibu.
Luckily Edward was flying ahead of me, which made me felt a lot better and calm.
I'm so happy and nervous as the same time, happy for the reason of going back home for 2 months of holidays and nervous because of my Private Pilot License Progress Test.
Everyone...Please pray hard for me....

Going Home

Farewell Carmen

2009-07-26T16:08:00.002+08:00

25th July 2009

Went to a concert held by some methodistic organization, the performances were nice and especially the dacing performance by Okawa.
After the concert, went for supper with Brian and some other friends.
Taking pictures of myself cannot be forgotten for sure. Wakaka ^^
Have been disturbing her and her family members over the last 2 weeks.
The purpose was to practise piano, but Foods cannot be neglected.. Wakaka..
She is going back to Miri for her schooling days, take cares and enjoy yourself there.
Specailly thanks to Okawa 大川 for speding times in showing me or teaching me some christianity songs...

回家心切

2009-07-25T17:13:00.002+08:00

原定于9月16号马来同胞新年期间回家探亲，不料我回家探亲的日子提前有望。。。
因为私人飞机执照可以提早完成，等同班同学完成的同时也可能得花上两个月或以上。
那么我就希望可以早一些回家陪陪家人和在西马的朋友们，也可以顺便看看已经完成装修的家。
你们要等我咯。。。。

回家

Thanks Carmen And Her Mom

2009-07-10T23:44:00.003+08:00

Went to Carmen's house to practise piano and of course EAT ..... >,<
Who ever know me deeper would know that I really LOVE to eat, eat and eat.
Went to her house in the morning, went to have lunch with her and her mother.
Stayed at her house since noon until evening, including dinner at her house ^3^
Thanks aunty for the foods, times spent, and a lot more...
Speacially thank to Carmen for giving off a very comfortable place for me to practise.

Happy Playing.

Bad Weather

2009-07-09T11:13:00.004+08:00

Holded at the Holding point for 15 minutes and finally my turn to take-off.
Who know after getting airborned, the rain was coming into the airfield and I have decided to land.
The runway changed from 35 to 17 when I was in the air..
The runway lights are on dued to the bad weather and pouring rain.

Safe flying.

First Solo To Training Area

2009-07-03T20:30:00.002+08:00

Today was my first solo to training area, it was FUN..
The cloud is low and the sea seems blue and clear today, but the wind is a bit strong.
Did some exercises like stalling on base, stalling during approach, steep turn and of course taking PHOTOGRAPHYS...... Yeah !!
But my hair look sucks with the headset pressing on it hardly. T.T
Took video while flying instead, it was actually captured while climbing and diving to avoid entering into the clouds.. and the black strips showing in the video was the propeller of the aircraft.
Anyway, check out the video on my facebook.

Safe Flying.

Crash

2009-07-03T09:52:00.002+08:00

2nd July 2009

Today was a really bad day for flying, I went to the training area and suppose to go for my First Solo in Training area, who knows one of the captain grabbed the aircraft and went up to the sky. So I was forced to wait for another hour.
Whithin that hour, I went back to the college cafeteria to have my lunch with Brian.
After lunch, we headed back to the airport for my flying.
I saw some of the airport workers were looking at the threshold ( the beginning portion of the runway for landing ) and I saw a car was on the runway, at first I thought the runway is under inspection. But, when Brian and I went nearer, we saw an Cessna 172 has been pulled to the side of the runway with a group of cars and people,
we know that something had happened within the last few minutes.
The Malaysia Airlines B737 was supposed to depart at LMT 1410, and then It delayed the flight until the runway is clear for usage.
Hopefully, everyone can fly safely...

Safe Flying.

在云中翱翔

2009-07-01T18:29:00.004+08:00

今天的飞行训练时这么多次以来最好玩地，一大清早就下了一场雨，雨后的天空当然会特别多云。
我们靠飞机执照的是不允许飞入云层里地，只要云层的底部少过1000尺，那么我们的飞行就得延迟或取消。
今天会在训练范围的上空练习飞行技巧，在训练范围我们可以飞在3000尺的高空。
你们有试过在云层里翱翔的感觉吗？
你们有试过自己驾驶着小型飞机在高空上瞭望远方吗？
今天我就确确实实地试了一次，我的飞行导师让我体验了一次在高空上玩云霄飞车的机会。
他从2000尺直冲下1000尺，然后又冲上了2000尺，在云层里一片白茫茫地，什么都看不见，感觉很好！
很希望他下次可以给我尝试更多更刺激地。。。。。

Safe Flying.

Cleared first Solo ^0^

2009-06-27T13:25:00.003+08:00

26th June 2009, Friday

I was arranged to fly at 10.30am, the first student for today to fly 9M-BEN ( Eagle 150-B ).
After refueling and 360 degree check to her, I jumped in and get the ATIS for today.
After flying for few circuits, He asked me to land and taxi back to the apron.
Instructor: Okey, seems like you're safe to fly alone huh? Just go for your first solo when you're ready to do it okey? Your callsign would be Golden 09S. (S= 1st Solo)
My first Solo .... YES !!
The flying experience.... no more instructor beside me.. Hehehe...
ATC has cleared all the traffic, asking them to hold at different position...
Golden 307, request rejoin to land .. ( stupid Brian Foo , purposely want to disturb me. But he was asked to hold at downwind )
ATC: Golden 09S would you like to use rwy 35 ?
Me: Negative, Golden 09S.
ATC: Golden 09S,Wind is tailwind 10kts for rwy 17.
Me: Affirmed, I'll use rwy 35. Golden 09S.
While lining up rwy 35 full backtrack, the feeling of happiness which I can't explain..
ATC: Golden 09S, ready?
Me: Ready, Golden 09S
ATC:Golden 09S, Left turn out for rwy 35, cleared to take-off.
Me: Left turn out for rwy 35 cleared to take-off, Golden 09S.
The aircraft got airborned earlier than I expected, should be because of him...my instructor. Who is like 2X of me .. Blek >,<
Thanks to Brian Foo who wish me( Good Luck, Yip Choon Wai ) through the radio call.
Thanks to those who gave me a royal bath with engine oil too....
Thanks to Capt. Chow for giving me approval to use Rwy 35.

Safe Flying.

Getting Better

2009-06-20T12:48:00.002+08:00

Vomit and fever have dropped by, feeling like vomiting since wednesday's night before going to sleep..Who knows after woke up on thursday morning, the feeling of vomiting is getting stronger.
Waited at school for my flight at 12.45pm, but eventually I'm foreced to cancel it due to my sickness and I'm unfit to fly.. That is a responsibility of a pilot.. Once we get to know we are not 100% healthy, we have to cancel our flight. Safety of the passengers is our priority.
But I'm getting better after this 2 days of rests, thanks to CP Chow and Au Yong who sent me to the clinic, Brian Foo who called for transportation in thursday noon..
Thanks.

Stay Healthy..

快餐。。

2009-06-12T15:36:00.003+08:00

11th June 2009

每个人的心中都会有自己最喜爱的快餐吧？
我小时候在吉隆坡好像有听过一间快餐店名为sugarBun。你们有听过吗？
东马的朋友当然会同声高喊着有。。有。。因为它真的在东马是间鼎鼎有名的快餐店。
我在砂拉越的民都鲁考航空机师，在一次无意中发现了它。
它看起来有一些些的简陋，最令我意想不到的是它里面的设备，灶头比我家的还来得可怜。。
备放饮料的地方更不可言。。连冷气也没有。。
但是我想告诉大家，你们可不要小看它噢。。它的 Fish Burger 比麦当当还更加好吃，但是也只有这个好吃。。价钱要到RM6.00一个。。贵~~~~~
听朋友说在其他地方的分行装潢会好很多。。

可怜的小黑。。

2009-06-12T14:56:00.004+08:00

怎样？？还不错吧？我也是这样觉得。。。
它是我父母送的咯。。（其实是我逼他们送给我的喇），不贵噢。。
但是把它钩在我的鼻梁上就有一种毁了它的感觉。。。可怜的它，逼着跟随一个这么丑的主人。
谢谢你。。小黑！

First Landing

2009-06-12T11:40:00.003+08:00

11th June 2009

Today is my first flight after 2 weeks back to Kuala Lumpur.
I guess I have forgotten how to control an aircraft and some other checks. I was so nervous when I saw the instructor, he was sitting inside the aircraft with his sun glasses and cap.
Instructor: You enjoy holidays huh ?
Me: Definately Sir..
Instructor: Today would be you first flight after your 2 weeks of holidays, but I'm going holiday tomorrow. Haha..
I jumped into the aircraft after plucked in my headset..
Took off the aircraft ad I did before, but I did it badly this time..I guess because of the strong crosswind blowing across and it is hard to maintain centerline during the roll.
After an hour of training, he told me he would let me to do the landing but he will of course has the control if any emergency.
I've landed it without his helps and I have bounced the aircraft twice before the aircraft securely landed..He did not scold me but praised me did a very good job, because I know the way to bring the aircraft back to centerline during approach.
Hopefully it would not bounces again next time..I will try my very best everyone.

Safe Flying .

Going Home ( 26th May - 10th June 2009 )

2009-06-11T21:30:00.011+08:00

Going home with a joyful heart, the blood is pumping out of the normal rate because of over excited I guess. The reason why I feel so happy and excited because I've done my CA2 and I start flying.
I've much more things to share with my family members and friends..I can crap more ^0^
First time flying with MAS from Bintulu to Kuala Lumpur, it was nice and comfortable. The meal served during the flight was Satay Rice with desserts, it tasted OK and I enjoyed the flight very much.
I was hoping to see my family members and friends as soon as I can after 2 months from the previous trip back to KL.
I was surprised that my house was actually under renovation, I thought I was in the wrong street. Non of them tell me earlier...Anyway, I love the new look so much.
First outing with Gie and Danny, had some cupcakes in Wonder Milk, continued with shopping, shopping, eating, eating, and shopping again..
I enjoyed this trip so much and I bought new camera too ( Superheadz White Slim Angel ) ^^
besides, I ahve got so many presents from friends and family. Thanks everyone who did it.
I really appreciate it a lot..
We had a BBQ in Danny's place on 8th June, 2 days before my departure back to Bintulu T.T
Went for a supper in somewhere nearby Sunway with my twin brother, Danny, Roland and Mag until very late..
The day after, went to Sunway Pyramid with Choon Seng for lunch in McD and shopped..AGAIN~~~Later, met up with Gie and Danny and went to get the new cameras in Wangsa Maju. This place recalled a lot of my sweet memories..I've stayed there for my college life and I definately miss it so much.We went home to have our dinner after getting the cameras.
Guess what after dinner?? Murni ~~~~~~
It is time to say goodbye to everyone in KL again..seeing you guys in 3 months later.
I am going to miss you all so much..I always wanted to see you guys..

Miss Home .

Fist Departure

2009-06-11T21:16:00.003+08:00

24th May 2009

PIC: Golden 09, ready.
ATC: Golden 09, left turn out, cleared for take-off.
PIC: Left turn out, cleared for take-off, Golden 09.

Today is my first departure that did by myself, bringing an aircraft airborne is easier than I have expected.But, we still need to consider the direction of wind and many other checks which need to be done right after the aircraft leaves the ground.
I did it prefectly today, feel so happy with the first tried and the holiday is coming 2 days after this flight that makes me more happier.
Lastly, hope that I would fly better than the previous flight.

Safe Flying .

My first flight that I've never imagine which I could ever had.
It was fun, you will never experience that feeling of controlling an aircraft by yourself which is really impressive, unless you are a pilot of course.
You are the man who is flying it, you are no longer a passenger who is sitting on his seat with the seat belt fasten and shivering during the roll or land, even during the whole flight?
He (instructor) first brought me up to 1000ft and let me tried on the straight and level of a flight, my hand was shivering when it was on the joystick. He wanted me to maintain straight and level for a moment then only he took over again.
It is a familiarization flight which designed for cadets to accommodate themselves for serveral attitudes of an aircraft so that they would not feel dizzy and nausea for the rest of their life while they are flying next time but some of the cadets do feel dizzy and nausea or airsickness for quite sometime and yet, it is a flight to introduce them how they would feel when they are flying an aircraft.
Anyway, it was totally different from what I've thought it would be. You will feel different from flying with a huge airliner and a small little kite.

Safe Flying .
