Don't Poop Your Pants

i just want to compel you to believe that this game without a doubt is the greatest game ever created by modern minds of today.

The Last Time

today i brought the awesome to apft for the last and final juncture. me and joe was the subject for the whole tuesday, and it made us feel very cocky and all we do was just brag to our friends on how good we are on defining and refining the phrase "bringing the awesome" in exquisite detail. at the end of the day, me and joe walked away from apft with a black eye and a painful memory due to the arrogance that we threw in intentionally... in the movies, that's what they call the "introduction twist".

but the real story was, me and joe had a lot of fun taking photos, and it was good to see our friends and instructors who were there supporting the both of us. those guys played an important role in our life here and they really are an amazing group of people. all the things that we've all been through together either good or bad, was just a method of traveling towards realizing our goal in becoming an aviator. i'm going to put in lots of appreciation on that for sure.

here are some pictures from that day:



his name is hasib... or haseeb. i forgot the real spelling of his name. but it could be any of those two... i think. in any case, he's from syria and ever since day one, each time i see him i would yell "chris! what's up?". i mean look at him. judge it by yourself. it's almost impossible not to call him "chris" due to the great resemblance he bears with chris daughtry. sometimes it bugs him out, but yeah... i'm just saying.


this is me and capt. barry. he is from new zealand and he is a great instructor. he knows about flying and the aviation industry like the back of his hands. i've learned a lot from him. all of my night flying and twin-engine sorties were commanded by him. and all i can say is that he is good. really good.


capt. zeenu. on my first day in apft, he declared that he is a very open type of person. he said that you can talk about anything with him. and yes he really meant that. you can really have a good laugh with him. and not to forget, he also follows my blog.

p.s.(only read this if you are capt. zeenu) - sir, if you want to download the photo that me and joe took with you that day, you can click on the following links:

• me


• joe

and last but not least, the batch 21 guys. these guys are the type of person that you can instantly adapt as your new best friend. they have great sense of respect, and they're just not boring. all they do is laugh. i dig their healthy lifestyle. they are all jocular people and really know how to keep things fresh just by throwing words at you. you can really go beyond the horizon when you have words with these guys. especially with the dude standing at the most right hand side of the picture. he's very witty and his jokes are clever. he can make the biggest of man feel very small. faez, thanks for bringing me back down to earth.

well, i guess i'll see you when i see you. until next time, bye bye.

Exciting

this stuff will make you smile in front of your computer screen... if you get what their trying to say.

Graduation Day Montage

i've seek high and low for the pictures in this montage. credits goes to all of you for your kindness and energy to make this montage alive, and also to the amateurish mediocre author of this blog for putting it up together. good times.

Graditude

on monday it was and the ceremony was full of fun, people, and memories. i have a bunch of photos and most of them looks pretty much the same. so in here i included a few just to summarize on how the ceremony looked and felt like. well, as you can see there's been lots of smiles indeed. on top of that, the weather was good, everyone was happy and i look like a bad wax sculpture.

Big Airways

a couple of days ago, me and joe did an airways training with our instructor capt. barry. here are a couple of thumbnails. IFR rocks.

Joe, Please Don't

first thing is first, the only thing i know for now is to give mamu an encomium for winning the top gun award. not to forget to joe and ridzuan as well, also for getting the medals. congratulations mates. apart from that, joe had made a promise saying that he will be going "au naturel" in public due to the above reasons. kinda like this. now that is really creeping me out. nonetheless, again guys, congratulations.

Dusk Stories

i really dig this picture of me that zul took with his new blackberry. to really enjoy it like I do, you need some context or more appropriately some "rough ideas" of how the picture flows. right before he took the picture he said: “ok, jaz, pretend that you're fadzil and you're on top of a hill right now”. and from there, history is made.

Seizing The Day Forlornly

it is 1800 hrs. today was quite a full and hectic day. nevertheless, it felt the same... except the double in price of food and the delightedness that you get from the facilities that's been provided for entertainment is multiplied by 10. yes, i'm talking about kuala lumpur of course.

i arrived here yesterday. and oh boy, all i can say is that time really moves at a very slow rate whenever you're alone. from waking up early in the morning, to eating breakfast, to all the time that i spend inside the cab and light rail transits. all of them felt very sluggish. of course, if you're with a group of people, you won't be feeling this. because all of this weird personal thoughts of mine is only logical if you're doing everything solitarily.

but the thing is, you can learn a lot whenever you're by yourself. before proceeding with a decision, lots of thinking will be going on and snap decision making will also exist at the same time without external assist. and the beauty of this, is that all of those happens nonchalantly.

it's like painting an artwork. you can't produce a great idea for your masterpiece whenever you're with the crowd. but put it in a room with only you and the canvas, for sure the brush will start moving. you paint your own life when you're alone.
