A story to Ponder Upon

During test 1 period, all student will try to dig out books or notes that left by senior. For me as well, I find and read. There is one lecturer that printed the notes with lots of motivation quote for student.

The first page was a story to ponder upon.

A well known speaker started a seminar holding a $50 buck note.

He asked the audience, 'who would like this $50 buck ?
Some hands went up.

"I am going to give to one of you this but first let me do this."

He crumpled the note with his hands.

Who still want it ?? Still there were hands that went up.

"Well, what if i do this?" He put the note on the floor and grind it with his shoes. He picked it up, all crumpled and dirty.

"Now who still wants it?" Still few hands up.

My friends, you have learned a valuable lesson. No matter what i did with the money, it did not decrease the value, still worth with $50.

Many times in our life, we are dropped, crumpled, ground into dirt by the decisions/choices we make and the circumstances that come out way. We feel as though as we are worthless. No matter what happened or what will happen you will never loss your value. You are special and don't forget it.



"OURS DREAM SOAR HIGHER AND HIGHER UP TO THE SKY"


"NEVER LET YESTERDAY'S DISAPPOINTMENTS OVERSHADOW TOMORROW'S DREAM."

Am i ready ?

Always a very simple question came across my mind, Are You Ready ?
What exactly are you ready ? What are you ready for ?
Well, the time is chasing my back about sending the resume and preparing for the aptitude test. I am nervous when the moment this question appear.
I am worry about my speaking skill, I am worry about my confident level, I am worry about my body coordination, I am worry about the test, and thousand of worry. Because i cant fail for all this test. I have 3 chances which is AirAsia, MAS, and SIA. If i fail again i would not face my life confidently anymore as what i striving and thirsting for is being and PILOT. I must workout now to ensure that i dont live with regret. Go Go Go....Pilot Dream.

Back to my World

Recently, because of internship and Exchange i stop playing my flight simulator as the joystick is kept inside the hostel store room. Yesterday night, i have installed FsX deluxe and feel the joystick feeling. I am so glad that strong feeling of back to my own world and the dream determination is back. I read a lot and watch a lot of aviation related movie. Fight fight fight. Pilot wanabie...

Where is your determination ?

Okay well, recently left behind a lot of practices. Why are you slack ? Where is your dream Johnwei? Angle trying to save johnwei!!!

Johnwei: Erm...I don't know, i seem living to comfortable in my comfort zone and don't care everything happen to me...

Angle: Well, you left your pilot dream pursuing, exercise, reading, living healthy and hard working.

Johnwei: Oh yea, you see that. I am no mood on class, no motivation, no energy,no enthusiasm and no dream...This is not me.

So??? What are you waiting for ? Wake up and restructure yourself...Don't be a worm and useless man...

First : Make up your mind and go for exercise that you like which is jogging and review your whole life after back from vietnam. What have you learn actually untill now and come back to blog again!!!

Inspiration From others blog

Now is 250am in the midnight, i was reading pilot Karlene's blog which became my inspiration towards aviation world. She wrote on her daily flight journey and gave me knowledge about aircraft and how is a pilot's life. Today of her blog is about ' What lies ahead'. What a nice tittle!!!
"The way forward is not to think about what you
have left behind - but to focus on what lies ahead."
By: Eleesha

Thinking of your past is just waste of time and killing your brain cell which is i totally agree with her. Altough in your life, you may jealous on what others life/path they took in the succeed of thier life and keep blaming on your own journey.

I am glab that i was not having lots of information about how to become a pilot although i dream to be untill i was 16 year old and meet my best friend Victor Ho. We have a great time cycling around penang island and discuss about our same interest about aviation. By that time, he was so full of information about how can be a pilot. I was not up to date as i didnt have friends or source related to that field. When i was sixteen, i joined with group that does not that so much education and loitering around the street all the time. I was lucky that i am able to get back in track and study.

We learnt from the pass but not live in the pass. I appreciate that everything along my life that brought me to the present. This moment for me is perfect and will keep my journey more interesting and challenging when applying for Cadet pilot later.

Pilot should be the one who always see the best sunrise and sunset i think. :)



New Wing Design of B747-8

Nha trang

22nd night 2011, I am on the way to Nha trang with Phoung Trang Bus company. The bus was new and comfortable. We reached Nha trang at 630am I start looking at my book map to search for the hotel. After 1 hour of backpack walking, finally we reached a street which all the hotel and tourist location.
Ask and ask…how much a night? Finally we choose a guest house with air condition and 2 double bed guest house. After clean up, we went to have our brunch. During brunch we were discussing about the next tourist place. Since, we just reached there and I suggest to visit the sitting Buddha status. We went with a taxi and back to tran phu with local bus.
The sun was so strong in the afternoon and keeping us away from the beach. We sat down on a beach bar and enjoy ice cream and cocktail. Around 4pm, I jump into the sea and swam. After looking at the price of water sport, it is fairly cheap. I decided to play the parasailing. The feel was so good up into the sky and is my first ever time to fly. On the sky I was just thinking of maneuvering a plane which is the feeling almost close to this.
Okay, I blah too much already. Straight to the point or else it would be very long story. 1st night at Nha trang, we went to a club and drink cocktail again plus dancing.
Second day, we joined the four island tour. The tour was so fun and exciting. 1st island was to the aquarium with I feel cheated with the poor condition. 2nd island was snorkeling then we had our lunch on boat and after that they have boat live band performance. The boat keeps sailing and we reach in the middle of sea. One uncle suddenly jumps into the sea with a big floating life buoy… The DJ shout, the floating bar…….haha…all people was jump from the boat to get a free cocktail and enjoy floating bar…That was cool.



2nd night, as the usual. We went to the sailing bar after dinner. We was supposedly to meet the two Germany girl that we met on the island trip but we have to go back early as the hotel will close at 11pm…poor us…
On the 3rd day, we went to the vinpearl island. Crossing the sea with the cable car and enjoy the spectacular view of Nha Trang. Once arrive we ride on roller coaster and spinning horse. After that we play the 3600 spinning. Well, not all the ride we can play as some others are doing maintenance. We moved to the indoor game and ride on bumpy car, playing all the video game for free and watch 4D cartoon LOL….
The fun part was playing the water park. I wana try all but still the same, some sliding board is under maintenance.



It was cool as I play all the exciting and exhilarating ride. Some makes me scream all the way down. After vinpearl we back to the town and take 7pm bus to Hoi An.

Around Vietnam

Okay, Before the workshop other intern decide to have farewell trip to Dalat thus i followed.
The decision was suddenly and we brought the ticket right after decided. We took a bus with the Sinh Cafe travel agency and the fare was pretty ok with 200 000VND. Sinh Cafe can be known as the famous and most reliable travel agency in Vietnam. You can find it everywhere around vietnam. For sure the fare would be little higher than other because of it reputation.

Once we arrived, we found our hotel which everyone paid for 50 000VND. Cheap le....HAHA
After everything settle down, we went out for our lunch which was at around 4pm :(
Walking along the street and decided to visit the CRAZY HOUSE build by an Vietnamese Architecture who study aboard ( I'm not sure about the country)

The house looks good and match the tittle of crazy house ya...There are shape with a lot of pattern such as monster head with long tang and other animal room for rent.

At the evening time, We hunt for dinner and finally they decided to ate hotpot. The price for me is fairy good but the girls were mumbling over there....<..>

Come to the second days, we rent 3 motorbike and 3 driver from Malaysia be the tour guide. Our 1st stop was to the Water Fall (forget the name but is the nearest). We ride the mountain roller coaster and came to the waterfall...Although it was not as what i expected but overall i was amused by the ride down hill...Don't ever take the cable at the waterfall, it is not worth.

Next, we ride our bike about 20km and arrived at Love Valley. The weather that day was not good cause it was raining so we took lunch nearby with 'Com Tam' thums up.

When the way up to Love Valley again, i decide to drop by Sitting Buddha. The rain again suddenly hit us and we bought a rain coat to protect ourself. With the rain we got in the Love Valley cost around 40-50,000D (i forget).

The view there was exotic and spectacular I love it. The fuel and time is still plenty hence we headed to the oldest temple in Dalat. The journey was quite far but is ok we have lots of time and fuel. We ride through a mountain and have a great view there as well. The temple amaze me with the art and fine work with different colour of tiles that design the temple and Pagoda.

After hang around in the park nearby the lake, we ate a lot of street food there. The girls were full with the snack but guys was still hungry so we ate Phu again haha...Always phu in Dalat as it is cheapest food there...

The journey end with the dinner and we board on bus around 10pm heading back to saigon. We took Phoung Trang Bus company which is more cheaper, Faster and comfortable.
