3 bachelors' penang trip, awesome! day 1

Peeps, this should be a update for weeks ago. I was stuck in the kotabharu without any flying sortie, so this was damn boring. Daily routine was just wake up, eat and sleep. Due to zest on good foods, craving for delicacy. I came out a plan with my best friends, vincent and philip , that was a trip to penang! A day before, we decided everything including hotel and schedule. We started up the engine by 6o'clock morning, took about 5 hours duration. Orh yea, this was a 3days 2nights trip!
To-do-list in Penang
# watch movie! Karate kid! ahhh chiak!
# food satisfaction { char kuey teow, asam laksa, prawn mee, kuey teow soup, cendol, blablabla }
# shopping! { weih, mux buy something la! }
# clubbing and beer ! { kotabharu pubs are damn frigging lousy! ish! }
# relaxation { spa maybe? }
# craving for big building!! { yea right, kotabharu doesn't have big building! }

penang bridge, the significant

vincent and i, philip was sleeping at behind! XD

Once we got into the island, we were lost ! wtf?! Actually we travelled without any idea, map or guidance, how dare were we. XD By calling anyone from penang, we able to get on track, looking for TuneHotel.

finally i got rid of dead malay town, able to see alot of chinese shops! phewww

After tracking the road blindly, at last we checked in TuneHotel! wow woW!

3 persons with 2 beds, the room was tiny but kinda small.
Anyhow, this was quite expensive due to late booking, cost us 85bucks.

my first thing to do when free, Online weih!

We planned to shower at first, after that head to Gurney plaza for shopping. While waiting for shower turns, camwhore time!

me, myself!

with vincent, a lousy shot!

Noob pose! XDD

Philip, nude one! Omg!

Before Shopping, we were looking for local nice foods. Well, as we were not penang gang, hardly to get nice foods without any signs. However, we managed to find it! First spot, kuey teow soup!

this fella was trying his luck with lottery ! XD

Okie, Gurney Plaza here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Frankly, we were look like kampung boys get into the big city! hahaha, by looking at those brandy shops, we were so excited!
Of course, movie was a must besides shopping. Karate kid, a nice movie!

komtar tower, another significant !

Time for dinner ! As we were not very familiar with the roads here. Basically the only choice was Gurney drive for dinner. Yea, i knew the foods over there were not the best in penang, but still nice! XD

Next point would be craving for beer and club! As many of you know, the place famous with clubs and pubs in penang, which ever i don't really know the name of that place! XD

XD We headed back hotel and looked for supper. We were too lucky by know nothing on the best foods in penang, we bumped into one! The famous prawn mee in penang { only available in midnite } =.='

conversion

yo peeps! Glad to tell you guys that i just passed my flight test!! blurrrrppp!! I tell you what, it was way too stress!! Basically the test was not very hard, but the thing is you gotta remain calm always because the examiner would try out his best to frighten you, stress you up! You will get screwed up with his harsh words, terrible actions, shouting @ you, whatever way just try to make you nervous and make mistake so that you'll fail the test!!

Fortunately, i passed it! Although with some bad comments, haha well who cares ?! As long as i passed it ! Rewind to that day, i was kinda lucky. Starting from early in the morning, coincidentally there was a jet fighter "sukhoi" flew bypass kota bharu airfield. I was able to record it down as below. Sadly i don't know why my camera lens went blur in a sudden. Shiit...

Right after that, i went through my flight test. Did all the maneuvers and exercises such as circuits, practice forced landing, engine failure after take-off (EFATO), medium turn, steep turn, stalling, and etc. Eventually finished everything in 1 and a half hour. Of course as i mentioned just now, i managed to pass the test. phewww! thanks god! So now, due to next different kind of air exercises requirements, i do need to convert my type rating to another aircraft, in other meaning i gotta change aircraft!! wooohhhoooo ~

To fly another type of aircraft doesn't same like you change another car to drive. It does need you to study the behavior of that plane and sit for the "type tech" paper test to ensure that you're clear with everything about the plane. Afterward, you do need to fly 5 hours with instructor to understand and familiarize the plane's behavior. This is what we called as conversion. Just a reminder for you, previously i flew "eagle 150b" aircraft and now i'm going to change to "diamond40 / da40 " aircraft.

this is eagle 150b
does it look so retarded to you ? XD



another shot!
this was the last flight in Eagle !!



frankly i don't really like this plane, problems a lot !
and so... F you! XD bye Eagle!



my next target Diamond40!! wooohooo~
does it look so high tech to you?!! much more better than Eagle, right?!
so cool right?!



These are the Airplane Flight Manual and the checklist
i gotta start to study ! hmm

The random, my friend mohd faez just passed his PPL test too. i interviewed him right after the test as video below!!

p/s : i bought KFC dinner plate with snack plate price! my pretty lucky day!
