My totally cool visit at MAS~! Aeroplane lalala ~!

Annyeong ~!

Aha~! I am super can't wait for this post~! Why why why? Becoz for me, it is totally a cool experience that I have and wanted to share here. Hehehe some of you (I know all of you actually) must be very curios right? What happen what happen? OMG totally excited!!!! (hey stop la u, ok2 I stop already, over pulak). So here presenting our . . .

FIRST VISIT TO MALAYSIA AIRLINES FACILITIES ~!

Hola hola *clap clap clap* *dance dance*. (^_^)

The visit take place around Subang and Kelana Jaya area consist of MAS aeroplane workshop, MAS Data Centre, MAS Academy, MAS Flight Simulator and MAS Ticketing Office. Day one, we went to MAS aeroplane workshop (ok the formal name is MAS Engineering centre bla bla I forgot dy :D ) and the next day we went to MAS Academy, Data centre, Ticketing Office and Flight Simulator Room. So so so so if you have a free time (especially those who don’t have work or pretending to be busy during working hours . . . opss :P ) please enjoy reading this lame long post because this time I upload a bunch of picture (means more word, more picture more word OK? :P )

Welcome to MAS ~!

Day 1: MAS Engineering Maintenance Department (Wan, please correct me if the name is wrong)

Long story short (haven’t start already skip, so lazy la me), basically this is the place for aeroplane to get the maintenance. Our visit starts with the brief about engineering in MAS by one of the chief department. He very bersemangat tell us about how good their department, how they achieve profit, how many plane they can maintain per month, how many hangar they have and bla bla bla including toilet inside plane (ok that one is joke). Well Mr, you gave briefing to wrong person. I’m ICT student. You talk all about engineering terms and future, you think I can smile and show my excitement listening to your talk? So as an ICT student during engineering briefing, the best I can do is to sleep without disturbing others :D

They managed to caught my sleeping beauty sleep pose ~!

After finished briefing, they give us free pen (well better than nothing right?) and we start our walk-around. This is where the cool things come. They bring us to safety department where all the safety equipment is been tested (now I feel more safe riding an aeroplane) and the best part is when they bring us to the aeroplane hangar. Tell me which part of the aeroplane I haven’t touched? Even the head also I already touch (FYI, inside of aeroplane head consist of radar to detect yada yada yada). We had been given a chance to see how the empty aeroplane looks alike and how they paint the body of the plane (the paint they buy from Netherland, some kind of special paint. For me just use water color should be OK already). Even the toilet also they show us (the incomplete one). But sad is no picture is allowed there due to business purposes.

At least they allowed us to take pic with this plane model

After the visit, we have free lunch gathering at Reservation department. Not much happen there. What I remember is they having a super delicious cake there (suddenly craving for Secret Recipe >_<). Oh oh oh!!!!!! I remember another thing. That day also is happen something that can’t ever be forgotten in MAS history!!! My intern mate Abang Azri or well known there as “Rain”, lead the ceremony by reciting a ‘Doa’. Walao eh, 3 years I know him, I never see him recite ‘Doa’. That day we manage to see him, recite ‘Doa’ for everyone! Because of his lateness, the lunch has been delayed in order to wait for him to start the ceremony. Even main manager waiting for him. No wonder he called ‘Rain’, so famous one.

see the ceremony becoming holy dy ~! full with bright shine :D

Day 2: MAS Academy, Data Centre, Ticketing Office and Flight Simulator

Around 9 a.m. all interns gather at MAS academy. Our purpose of visit that day is to be introduced on how MAS Academy runs their operations. For your information, MAS academy is the training place for steward and stewardess (hola ~!). How about pilot? And engineer? Most of them having their lesson at others flight school and return back to academy for further training and advance classes.

i dunno how many times i take pic with this aeroplane model ~~!

infront of MAS Academy entrance

Same like first day, our visit begun by the introduction of the academy. They show us a video montage that from what I see most likely been shoot during 90’s. Ya lor~! Where got guy comb their hair to the back, wearing a big shirt, tight in and come to the class? While the girls . . . ok no need for me to explain, just go see your mommy or older cousin picture during their 90’s. But one thing I like in that montage is, their stewardess. OMG! What the heaven (Molly copyright pinjam jap ye). The stewardess that time honestly I said better (and prettier plus more cute) compared to stewardess nowadays. I wonder why I intern at MAS now. I should interns during 90’s.

this one is Oman Airlines stewardess . . omg the middle one is damn pretty~!!!!

After finished watching the montage we’ve been given briefing by Mr. Joseph, one of the executive and facilitator at MAS Academy. The way he talks remind me of Dr. Jubair and the funny thing is when he suddenly raises his voice to me. The reason is, that time I was talking to my friends about toilet inside the plane (excuse me, it is not that I like that toilet but this one girl very curios bout it) that we saw at engineering department. What he heard is “toilet engineering” and suddenly asks me about what “toilet engineering” is. Maybe he majoring in that field, that’s why he interested when he heard about that kut :P

our picture together infront of the aeroplane model~!

After finished briefing, they bring us to . . . I dunno the exact name of this place, but it is the place for stewardess to train on how to work inside the cabin. The room consist of 3 model of aeroplane (scale 1:1) with all the equipment inside and have all type of cabin class (from economy to first class).

the entrance to the cabin, see got steward pose x? :P

What can I say about this place is, it is totally cool! OMG! I manage to sit, run, jump (and take picture) inside first class cabin for free while others need to buy a ticket (that cost around rm25,000 per seat) in order to sit inside that cabin. First class cabin is very nice. They got one seat that can turn into bed, with menu that we can order, disco lighting and personal LCD TV Screen. No wonder they can charge many many many thousands for one seat. We also spent time playing at the business and economy class area.

business class cabin, behind me is the infamous Mr. Guna and PM lee~!

the computer used for the training~!

Me and my rumate already went to first class cabin (^_^)v

Next is Grooming Room. This is the place where stewardess (I don’t want to mention stewards here :P ) learn how to make up, catwalk, smile, serve food, behave and yada yada yada. I like the room coz it consist of tons of mirrors (I just so love mirror) and not like it because that day don’t have any stewardess training there (sigh). Here also we managed to witness live with our very own eye, the born of MAS stewards.

they ask him to wear like steward and do catwalk . . no wonder he is MAS superstar now ~!

want his phone number? come come ~!

After we yada yada yada inside that grooming room, we head to safety training room. This is the place for stewardess to practice on how to evacuate aeroplane using safety equipment. I think for ASEAN region, only MAS have the facilities for this training. Since got Iranian and fire fighter booked the place that day, we are not managed to test the facilities (but still picture is allowed there hehehe).

If only i cn play with that safety air ladder ~!

Our visit continues to MAS Data Centre. This is the place where all the data inside MAS system flow and been stored inside the server room. Again, due to business purposes, no picture is allowed. But still it is a cool place (and cold in the same time). I managed to see the latest server from various companies, mainframe (the one that I’ve been heard since I start taking IT subject) and also the computer that been used during 70’s / 80’s. They said MAS server room is one of the biggest in Malaysia, but still when we ask, they said Petronas is the one having the biggest server room (hehehe why I feel proud suddenly? :P ).

before enter data center, well got one nice mirro .. and we cant meet mrs mirror at all ~! :D

this one, not place to smoke ok? place to train for smoke purposes . .eh??

Finished data centre, we head to Skypark Airport, Subang. Here we’ve been bring to the Ticketing Office, where they issues the ticket. Not much fun here since nowadays people’s are using an E-Ticket. Here you can see a bunch of internship students who very good in acting skill act like they was selling a ticket to the customer.

up there is MAS Ticketing Office :D

i think this shud be at AIROD facilities

3 monkeys act like they just dont care ~! :P

Our visit end as we visit the last place, the place that we have been waiting from the day we start our internship which is a Flight Simulator Room. Once I enter the room, I don’t have any regret working here. As thousand of student spent their greatest effort and money to take examination to join MAS to become a pilot, we have been given a chance to try the simulator without any payment needed. I feel so thankful to God and MAS for the opportunity.

see the tower ~! :D

See? flight crew training center :D

Talk about the room. It consists of 2 white boxes. Ok actually the box is a simulator machine room. One room can support 5 people (according to the chair inside) but if others willing to stand (by their own risk) the room can support up to 10 peoples. From what I see in the picture or movies, I thought it just a simple room with a screen that showing a low class graphic scene. But after I went inside the room, seriously it is not a joke at all! The simulator is totally awesome! No wonder it cost million to built one. The graphic if u sees from inside, u can feel as it is a real picture (the scene take place KLIA airport). And the movement of the machine, wow, hard to explain. One mistake in handling the steering or flight wings, whole room can ‘terbalik’. They really design the simulator follow the real flight situation. That is why I tell to my friends that I already fly an aeroplane because not much different at all (^_^)v.

SeE? really look like a box right? :D

this is how the simulator look like~!

im the first captain among the internship students hehehe~!

ok~! no need to care bout this control box :D just hold ur steering only :D

My first flight is as a pilot captain and Abang Azri becomes my co-pilot. Honestly I can’t fly the plane with him. Why? I turn the steering to left, he turn to right. I press the wing to move it to right, he press it another way. And when I ready to control the plane, he said lazy and give reason the flight in auto pilot mode. *Sigh* Abang you really lame. If I not remembered you as my evil mate, I sure kick you from the plane already (ok that one is a lame joke, ignore please ~!).

See so excited before fly the plane ~!

This one before the simulator start, take a picture first ~!

this one after it start, see plane bout to move we still pose for the picture :D

Well that’s all from my first visit. So to junior, how? Interested to come here? Call me for more information. Hahaha. Now we are waiting for the KLIA visit that might take place during September after Hari Raya. I’ll update you guys after going there.

bye bye flight simulator room ~!

Extra ~! Ahjumma Sarang-he

Nothing actually. Just want to share my happiness during 2nd day of fasting. That day I bring my roommate and Abang to eat at one of my favourite Korean reastaurant. Sam Sam Food Stall at the Garden. I’m so happy coz that Ahjumma (auntie) still remembered me (^_^).

While waiting for our food (FYI, this situation happen after masuk waktu berbuka puasa bagi wilayah Kuala Lumpur), that ahjumma come to us bring another dish that we didn’t order.

Me : Ahjumma, that one is not the one we . . .

Ahjumma : No, this one is for you. This to show my thankful coz you bring a lot of friends to eat here. This dish very famous, many people are like it and it is delicious.

Me : Oh is it? Ahjumma thanks a lot. Kamsa Hamnida.

Ahjumma : Ya enjoy the food, kamsahamnida.

I really like that ahjumma la. She is so cute. She should tell me that she wanted to belanja me extra dish. If I know sure I won’t order that much. Hahaha Next time I bring you guys to eat there too :D

Alien Oh Alien ~!

Annyeong ~!

Hi everyone! How are you? Ni hou ma? Whatever it is hope you guys still in a good condition (means no H1N1 ok?). Since today I quite free, so I had decided to crap a bit in my beautiful world of blog :D

Yesterday, oh no it shud be yes-two-days I went back to my old (left 3 months only wat . .lame) university with my fellow intern mates. Using the reason to meet senior to give them flower (which is I never did coz didn’t meet them at all, ya la want flower then shud call me lor), I fly to Tronoh with Xiao Min. Well I’m not going to tell wat happen there coz this time convofair is quite (totally) lame but thank to Amy Search, he managed to help convofair to collect a large number of crowd during Saturday night. And also thanks to my internship life, I sleep at 11pm and woke up at 7am in UTP, something that I never did before (^_^). I’ve got meet a lot of friends there (and some that I don’t plan to meet and some that I don’t want to meet at all) like my junior Lolly, my perfect mate Xiang Qing, my bi@tch :P Chang Hua, n also my ex-Australian friends Meile :D For me the real fun is meeting them, not the convofair but still want to congratz them coz manage make the convofair happen :D

I go back to Subang with Xiao Min yesterday. Becoz of too moody (sad coz leaving the great UTP), we had decided to watch some movies before heading home. OU is luckily selected to be the place that we are going to spent time there watching movies and District 9 is the lucky movies that we are going to watch. OK I don’t plan at all to make review about this movie. Just for caution, don’t watch it if ur stomach too empty or too full (^_^)v

Even it is not really related, this movie remind me of something during Minggu Aluan Siswa (MAS). Did you guys remember we got play a lame game which is Earth will be exploding within 30 minutes, and your aircraft can bring a number of people only. Every sub group is given “pekerjaan” (sorry my English becoming lame) which is later need to brag about your occupation in order to get ride the aircraft.

I miss MAS a lot!! coz I didnt take any picture at all during that time!!!

My group (I think it is a B3 group) that time become a tailor. Well the task now is to give a reason why the aircraft should bring a tailor to the space. What I remember is my group that time give a weird reason compared to the other sub group who been given a same occupation (thx to my hyper mode that time). Now when I think back my answer, I also feel it is very funny (while that time I come out with all that answer seriously coz I tot it’s a competition). Well, if you guys free now, can read all the reason that I come out on why need to bring tailor to the space.

"Bring me to the space, I give u guys discount . . . " - Mr. Tailor - 2006

Give protection from the temperature

This one is a common answer. Since others take this as an answer, I also follow them (later they said ketinggalan zaman). Well basically our understanding that time is space is a very cold and tailor can sew a shirt in order to stand the coldness. Well, think back, if really tailor can sew a shirt for human to stand cold in space, why the hell NASA, BKI, TGV, GSC or whoever organization out there spending hundred thousand of dollar to build astronaut cloth? Well that time we still 17 years old right? So forgiven lor :D

"Ah Chong tailor from Yik Fong help me to sew this cloth . .lalala . . . "

Build resident home

This is another common answer. Well the reason is tailor can help to “Jahit”, yeah repeat again, “Jahit” or in English sew a TENT for human to live in it. This one very “geng” one. Tailor sew a tent? Wow if like this all the tent production can close their business lor and customer can go to tailor shop ask for tent, and can come out with their own tent design. Then the Project Runaway can put one task which is to sew a tent >_<

OK that’s all for today! Ok sorry simple joke for u guys. I mean that’s all for common answer. Now we go to my answer from our group.

Business opportunity

Well, when is the time we will have an opportunity to have a trade with an alien? Well this is the right time! When you go to the space, our Earth money can’t be used at all (since Earth name never enter Bursa Saham Galaksi or Galaxy Wall Street). This is when tailor come into action. With tailor skill to sew a nice cool shirt, we can trade and sell it to alien in order to create a relationship and gain money from them. In the same time, we also can trade in with their shirt! Waseh! Cool eh wearing alien shirt (compare to wearing shirt with Alien Workshop logo). Whenever I think bout it till now, I still felt that my answer for this one is very logic.

Fashion

Since Earth is going to explode, we will fly to the space and live in another planet. So we can be considered as a first timer to that planet. In other word, we represent Earth! And don’t tell me we go there by wearing a lame shirt with a logo of “Syarikat xxx” ? We need to come with style ok. By doing this, alien will amaze us and who knows you guys might catch some alien hot chick or freaking hot alien dude? Plus if the place is soo last month, we can bring a new fashion there. Alien also need a fashion ok? Pity them like Predator or Alien, who always wearing lame armour with the liquid leak from their body and long nail that can kill duck. Let them feel a life with fashion by wearing jacket, v neck shirt or short pant :D

This is a cool white jacket from our Earth . .

This is mr. Predator from Alien VS Predator movies

and this is him after wearing our Earth jacket (^_^) bit cool huh? like Naruto punya ninja kan? :D

Imagine this guy is the hot alien dude u cn get out there (for girl)

and also if the alien chick is as hot as Son Dam Bi (^_^)!!!!!

Weapon

What I remember, other group who by happen to become politician or businessman. They always talk about a need of leader who can unite people (politician) and someone who can re-build a company and come out with a job opportunity (businessman). Well, did you guys think that before we can have all of that (politician party or business company) who might take a lot of years; we might be kill by the alien first? According to the movies director who we always watch in the cinema, alien love to kill human. Why? Coz I think in their eye, we human look very ugly. So Brad Pit, Angelina Jolie, Womanizer or even Korean DBSK and F4 charm also can’t help them from being alien food. So when alien come to attack human, what politician can do? Debate with them? Businessman? Throw calculator to them? I’m not sure about that but what I know, we tailor can fight them back! Well we have needle right? Haha just “cucuk” them till they die lor. We can use thread to “ikat” the alien. Maybe it’s bit lame but better than throwing a calculator right?

I'm quite sure alien will hurt a bit compared to calculator :P

U can ikat alien now hehehehe

I think got other answers that I gave during that time but I can’t remember it due to the weakness of my brain now (getting older and older la). Don't take it serious ya? Whatever answer you guys gave last time is correct also. I write it here just for fun. Don't you guys come find me and debate about tailor, politician or businessman >_<

So, that’s all for today. Since I started to crap from this morning, now my brain feels very sleepy. Work also lazy to do. And I miss UTP so much (coz I got sees this coming batch of junior is filled up with angels!!). I wish all the best for my friends who keep telling me how happy their life now having and ETP. Something wrong with them la since my senior always headache with ETP, they can happy and enjoy ETP? (see my engineering friend very cool one).

Lalalala KLIA ~! (^_^)v

Annyeong~!

OK, that one not fun . . . must say ANNYEONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

T_T miss blogging a lot, just how many weeks I had left this world? OMG!!!

This few weeks, “Busy” becoming my common word already. In GTalk, phone, sms, office, whenever people asking me, I just reply “busy”, even in the toilet! (Who the hell ask me busy or not in the toilet? Of coz busy la since it is a toilet, people do “business” there what? :D ).

Lot of things I wanted to write actually. Got gathering to celebrate for Meile birthday (owh welcome back to Malaysia meile >_< ), and then also my week with UTP students who their university (which is mine also) is been closed due to H1N1 case, my first time hangout with Meile in KL (hohoho) and bla bla bla bla. I’m quite sure blogspot.com might sue me coz using too many space inside their server :P So I had decided to write about my working life in KLIA for the past 2 weeks.

Please allowed me to show off my picture here ~! hehehe just how many internship student (guy) can go work use blazer? :P )

Currently I’m involved with MAS web check-in and KIOSK application UAT (User Acceptance Testing). UAT is a test which is from the user/customer point of view using the application. I feel that it is a good opportunity for me since one of my major is Software Testing and Reliability. At first I feel it might be hard for me since I never involve in system testing before and for this testing, they select me as a system tester (sounds cool? Don’t tertipu, I have been selected due to lack of manpower and I bodek the manager to let me in :D ). But, by the time passed by, I feel that actually. . . IT’S REALLY HARD!!!!!


-_-“ . . . . .


Testing a system itself is “ma-fan” and because of the system is been used by airlines company, it turn out to be more “super extra spicy ma-fan”. Imagine, you need to follow the real flight time to depart. Let’s say the flight depart at 8p.m. If test requirement need me to check-in 60 minutes before departure time, then I need to wait at office until 7p.m. to use the system to do testing. 3 conservative weeks I’m having overtime T_T. Should I talk bout airlines terms that need to be memorized? like DOCA? SSR? PNL?PNR? W? Y? CI? CCL? Kuih Karipap? Nasi?

My work station inside server room~!

Well, ignore that part, the actual fun for me is KIOSK UAT testing. Why? First, it is at KLIA. Second? I can claim for the journey to go there! But of coz my heart is beating fast coz of working at KLIA (did it sounds honest? Ok fine I’m excited coz of that claim :D )

This is the machine that I keep play for the past 2 weeks ~!

What is this KIOSK thing? For those who don’t know, KIOSK is a machine that customer can use to check-in, no need to waste time line up at the counter. So, the testing takes place at the one of KLIA server room. The location of the room is at “Kawasan Larangan” (wow~! U guys are impressed with this statement right?) inside KLIA. The room is really near the place for aeroplane to park and take passenger. I actually with my pass card can go to the middle of the field to greet and yamcha with all the airplanes there. But since my task is to do the testing inside the server room, so I just keep the plan to touch the aeroplane tyre deep in my heart. OK fine, actually I scared the plane might hit me :P and to go in the middle to take picture make me look like a monkey in the middle of the city. I must behave since I carried MAS Subang and Petronas name (^_^)

If i can go for even 1 seconds to touch the tyre, or the wing ~

Well, if can't go near to touch, I just go near to take more closer picture, introduce u KLM Dutch flight ~!

Got Arab airplane and also our proud MAS planes ~!

Yeah Singapore airlines plane, this Kakak i told her to count 1,2,3 before snapping the picture -_-" tgk jadi candid pulak :P

So for the past 2 weeks, I spent my time inside the room doing testing (and take picture . . of myself :D ). One thing to share about the room is, it is damn cold!!! I ask the person in charge and he said the room can be said as the coolest room in KLIA. No wonder I see myself is wearing hand glove and blazer without realize about it :P If dunno, might look like I’m working at London!!

See? told ya I'm wearing glove :P thx to Sunway Pyramid who force me to buy the glove :D

Bilik "Layan"? Wth? come on come out with more cool name please ~!

I wish if I can stop all this pc's for even 1 second :D then can see whole airport in chaos :D ok that one is joke ok?

The location of the room is not inside KLIA main building, it is at the other building called Satellite building. This place is mostly for international departure. To go there, we can take a mini train that comes every 10 minutes. One weird thing about this train is, it given an instruction in Bahasa Melayu, English and Japan. But within 2 weeks I used the train, I only see not more than 5 Japanese people using the train -_-“

This train, hot eh~! x de aircond ke? come on ~!

Got tunnel to go to Satellite building

. . . and I see plane, plane and plane~!

2 weeks at KLIA really give me new visual about working life. Working at KLIA is totally different compared to others. The life styles there, the environment, now only I understand what my roommate boss tell us before . . .


“You can’t gain a business knowledge and experience of airlines companies at university . . .”


Even if you an engineering students who major in aeroplane engine, or student who study to become pilot, or study to become stewardess, to learn and having the knowledge of the airlines business, the only way is to work with them. For junior who interested, please call me at 012-867. . (cewah mcm promoter pulak). I mean for junior who looking for interesting job, I recommend you MAS (^_^) but if you guys look for the money, then you can strive for other companies (I’m not saying MAS pay less, they pay just enough only)

International departure area ~! got lot of chocolate shop ~! how meile come come I know u love chocolate ~!

Our rival plane model

Whenever I see the sun at KLIA, my spirit with MAS will burn up! (cewah I really a good actor la :D)

I think that’s all for my experience at KLIA. Actually I’ve got more to share, just don’t how to impress it using word (actually lazy to type). What I can see for 2 months working with MAS till now, I feel that I can really have a future with airlines company (^_^)v

I wonder if I really will involve with Airline business? ok duncare bout that first :D

ExTRa EdiTiON ~!

What will you do when you feel bored? When you have no money? When you have your break from work? When you have transport but not the toll money and oil to feed your car? When you born as a guy? Usually guy will:

- Playing computer, games, internet
- Watch TV
- Sport
- Just hangout without shopping
- “Bergayut” with girlfriends (did I put “s” ? just how many girls guy have? :P )
- Sleep (This one win the vote ~!)
- ETC

So, what is the answer from these two guys who live in a common apartment at Subang? Who just finished their work for 5 days and having 2 days break? Who don’t have partner of their life yet (ok this one is simply to “mintak simpati”). Well, this is the answer from this guys (^_^)v

Firts, I throw all my things inside my room to outside

When Abang just woke up, he ask me "here got Earthquake dy?" so lame la this guy . .

After wash and dry and rearrange back ~!

and Abang mop and swept whole house (except main room and my room since I dy clean my room and toilet)

Well, our home is always clean and tidy!!!
