One step to my dream of flying.....


video of my first flight...... finally i got 2 fly a plane (thz alicia for helpin me 2 capture this)


ready for take of..........

One step to my dream of flying.....Since small I admire wit huge airplanes especially commercial aircraft, how it takes off n land, flying without any restriction on air, er… basically flying freely. I can be consider lucky to fly a few times in an aircraft overseas when I was in kindergarten, thanks to my parents. But think about it, my youngest brother and sister is even luckier, flew quite often as well as half way round the earth when they were younger. Damn jealous… I can’t even fly or travel often when I’m in their age. Time changed, now everyone can fly … sob..thz to Airasia. Anyway, I finally achieved what I always wanted…… to fly an aircraft by myself. August 6th 2005, around 3 o clock at Jandakot Airport Perth, a historical day of me, I took my first take off, felt very nervous and excited. When the plane flew up, the experiences is indescribable, it was awesome, looking down from more than 5000 feet above, with breathtaking view… city skyscraper to WA beautiful coast, Rottenest island to the Peel region, all in one picture. One word astonishing… thanks to my instructor that guide me on the flight, I ‘m still considering taking a private or a commercial license … maybe after establish my architect firm, I can work for airlines as casual pilot… not bad huh….

on 25 june, i took the same flight to penang with brother josh... ahahah, he just arived at the airport from perth n i aranged the same flight wit him.. if i not mistaken, MH 1194 at 2350.. haiz as usual, i was late to the airport, no one can send me, so i took da bloody ktm at 9.45pm from klang station after a long dinner wit my parents. it already took me 30 minutes to get to subang n if i still want to get 2 kl it will take me another 30 min, after that need 2 take kl express to klia... n it will take another me 20 - 30 min from kl... har... if i follow that, i end up miss da flight. so i risk myself getting out the train from subang to find a taxi,... thank god, i found one n he willing to send me 2 the airport in 30 min... but hav 2 pay 55ringgit la.. this time, i not rushing to check in, but rushing to get my ticket from the ticket office... i got down 2 the airport at 11... ran like a mad cow 2 get my ticket n check in... paisei, josh was waiting for a long time at the boarding gate...

finally i went in to da boarding gate.... saw josh long standing uncomfy...screamin for help.. cos of the heat... ahhaahah it was almost -0 celcius back in perth while in kl...30++ anyway we still got 30 mins before the plane take off... so we ran n buy godiva chocolates 4 da ppl that i gonna so call 'visit'... while waiting for the malay gal 2 finish the wrapin... i just remember that i got a invitation 2 da golden lounge.... 15 min 2 go... ask josh 2 wait for da gal while i ran over 2 see what can i grab from da lounge... 4 coke n handfull of mas peanuts packets manage to follow me... ahaha dint use the invatation, a bit wasting, after all i pay so much for da ticket.... 5 minutes 2 go... met josh up... n we ran for departure... josh nag me for draging him 2 be late n it was his 1st time....ahahah 2 vvips finally on board...



cherry dun even know where is da best place 2 eat!! josh knows everythin.. har.. sipeh gau!! eat till u fat la

in penang, josh all the while staying wit me at the hotel (got house also dunt want 2 go back), gurney hotel n Crown prince hotel.. while cherry try 2 sneak in 2 join us.. just 4 a day.... josh was my tour guide, bringin me 2 places n huntin 4 good food... cherry was so blur wit da roads that she even forgot the way home... cherry said josh is a better 'tour guide' than her as she's not familiar with good eating places and tourist spots. shes more of a tourist instead..

anyway im kinda lazy 2 write more... so im gonna cut n paste cherry's 2 mine... hehehe plagiarism ..

choonwee (thats me) mentioned about the 'Khoo Kongsi' in Penang as he read through the Penang tourist booklet. It is such a famous heritage spot and yet, none of us (the Penangites) had been there nor knowing where it was. I didn't realise there were actually a few 'kongsis' around that area. We went to the other one and realised it was a Yap one instead. :) (every one in klang valley knows khoo kongsi... so memalukan, none of my frens in penang know that place)

kuan yin statue in penang; khoo kongsi... n cherry wit her pakaian beranak!!

i really enjoy myself there...i luv da "pohpia laksa" so much that im thinkin of it now... had my 1st facial treatments at Spring Spirit wit cherry n josh...it was relaxing.. luv da beach n da water jet skiin wit josh, miss da chating/ gossip session 2gether...n more.. its rare that 3 of us having so much fun together for 4-5 days straight.. thanks josh n cherry for making my trip a memorable one...

anyway, every happy time have 2 come to its end...josh leavin 4 newyork n cherry 2 genting.. leavin me alone 2 explore the city 4 da last time.. walking round n round from 7.30 am till 11.30... while waiting 4 my flight in da afternoon... i forget 2 tell u guys that i walk pass penang's state yang di petua n his ppl in da airport... staring each other....ahahhaha

hanseng n i standing at boat quay spore wit cbd skyscraper behind... marche spore.. the food is good!!

after penang... i planned a driving expedition 2 singapore, kedah n terengganu.. all of a sudden i drove 2 johore on july 16 saturday noon without preparing n telling my parents, can say i purposely go down 2 visit my fren hanseng.. we walked 2 singapore n back just 2 have our dinner in Marche.. its lots better than the one in the curve damansara.... cos they serve pork!! i drove home few hours after the dinner, its like driving to and back for 6 hours n stay in spore for just 5 hours...!!! reach home at 5 in the morning... during that journey, i almost have a crash on a huge plastic or fiber glass thingi left on the middle of the road on federal highway in shah alam... was drivin 160 while rubbing my tired eyes... when it get near n i saw it n i turn my steering hard n my car almost lose control... luckily no cars beside me or else...... a lot of ppl including hanseng, ask me y i dun stay 4 a night... the reason is that i promised wanted 2 bring my 'used 2 be' fren from penang whom is visitin KL for a dinner.. end up tak jadi...i risk my life driving in dark for hours n travel more than 300 km that night just wanted 2 have a dinner wit him...but..... sad i would say... im asking every one who read this... it is worth it 2 risk jsut 4 a fren that dont treat u as a fren?

cherry and her mom came down 2 kl as well... they missed da pulau ketam trip... but they tried klang's famous bak kut tea...eheheh... they luv it.. 3 person havin 5 bowls of meat.... went 2 sunway lagoon...just da 3 of us...it wasnt that fun that it used 2 be... maybe we r already grown up... kenneth came down 2 kl as well at that time.. went 2 clubing wit my buddies n him at thai club... enjoyed dat night... talkin about clubing... y always go to thai club?? this hol went there 3 times... n always end up at thai after seachin for a new place... "rum jungle's music seriously sound like jungle" kok hau said.. if i not forgoten ....'daylight come n we wanna go home'... familiar? ahahah... anyway, the Loft beside sharaton is a high end place... heard lot of ppl said it's good n lots of chio gals... but that day, our spy went up and check... apek n aunty all around...

so on da trip we started the journey on friday morning... 1.20 am!!! reached kuantan at 5am n to merang jetty just 30km north of kuala terengganu at 9am... that was my worse road journey in my life!! using kampong roads from kuantan to merang really give u a gud shake, no one can sleep well in da car, end up everyone make jokes n had 'debate'.... a ferry took us to da small island with only with 4 resort. we stayed on blue coral where we are the only local tourist, others were ang mohs and some stupid arabians. talking about arabians it remind me of cherry... she call them black wantan...imagine how they swim wit their outfit on!!! anyway all of us enjoy da trip, expecially da strip chor tai tee that the 4 guys played including me, as well as the disco night out in one of the other resort - 6 of us made da pub/disco more happening!! dancing wit aunty aunty in their 40-50++ singing loudly, invitin other to da dance floor... overall ok lah... but im quite disappointed wit the corals..not as good as tioman.. we rushed back home on sunday, it was my moms b'day, so sorry made u guys left that island so early, need to celebrate wit my mom la...eheheh

on tuesday i left msia alone... bringin back good memories n disappointment that i had from a fren... i always wish, that wouldnt happen 3 months back... haiz... oh ya... dun fly on mas biz class in da mornin flight... da food sucksz..... thats how i end my 6 weeks holiday back in malaysia
