吃喝玩乐翻转澳门
SkyJump让你变勇汉
若要你从233公尺高的澳门塔跳下来，你愿意吗？
即使是安全措施做足，相信你当下的心情还是会很复杂的，而且脑中会浮现了很多事情和画面，甚至突然间会想起原来还有很多人生经验是还没有体验的。其实当你思考的时候，你就会开始想放弃接受这个挑战了！仿佛发现生命真的太宝贵了！
当你还在思考的当儿，我已经跨前一步了，我跳了！
这不意味我不珍惜生命，而是我认为生活本来就一定要过得精彩。跳-只不过是生活里的其中一个动词，它会让你在人生的路途中变得更坚强。因为最大的敌人不是他人，而是内心里的另一个自己。
跳下来的感觉是如何？
难以用文字来形容，因为那是很个人的体验。不管我如何叙述，你是绝对无法真正体验我当时的感受。穿上有点像跳伞者的特制服装，再扣上安全带，并且在工作人员双重检查下以确保整个配备处于良好状况之后。紧张时刻来了！当他们倒数3、2、1时，你自己本身要向前跳下去，不然工作人员都很乐意助你一臂之力。举手之劳是何等的容易。俗语说，“不到中国攀登长城非好汉。” 鸿杉说，“不到澳门尝试SkyJump非勇汉。”
这趟澳门之旅是在GO GO TRENDY时尚节目制作组的邀请之下，担任此趟的嘉宾主持，在澳门进行6天的拍摄过程中，大伙们堆砌了很多难忘的美好回忆。当然也要感谢澳门旅游局的安排以及精心策划，除了让我们见证了澳门的繁华之外，也让我进一步的对当地人民的文化和生活习俗大开眼界。饮食方面由于受葡萄牙殖民时期影响，所以不难发现葡国餐厅处处皆是！他们习惯在享用正餐前，会先递上面包配汤作为开胃菜，最后当然也少不了递上一杯带有香甜味道的葡酒配美食。食物方面虽然较像西餐，但是也具有他们自己的特色。比如ｓｅｒｒａｄｕｒａ是一个你不能错过的饭后甜品。外形像蛋糕、口感像冰淇淋，实际上是。。。。。。要知道？自己到澳门试一试吧！
众所皆知，澳门是个集合科技和娱乐的赌城，城中拥有大大小小的casino超过上百间,。然而当地政府并未乎视历史得重要性。澳门作为一个拥有４００多年历史的东西文化交汇点，在文化甚至建筑方面都有迹可寻。比如当地的建筑物就融合了欧洲文艺复兴时期的风格和东方盛世的特色。政府对于保留古迹方面处理得非常妥善。而身为发展中国家的马来西亚，对于保留古迹还有很大进步的空间。

Journey At Bangkok
徒步旅行
是否留意每当要计划一趟旅行时，脑里总会产生矛盾，应以增广见闻为前提还是满足自己的购物欲望为目标呢？对我而言应两者结合再加上体验生活更为重要。因此要最能体验生活的直接方式就是徒步。
徒步旅行了能让一个人用心去欣赏和观察周围的美景和建筑物，它亦是一个很好的方式让你与当地的居民接触，甚至进一步了解当地的社会与生活。当然更重要的是，前方一定有意想不到的惊喜在等你来体验！
记得第一次的徒步旅行时在中学时期，由於大家都是来自外坡，所以当时就和一般知己好友建议每人各带足够的食粮和饮料来尝试徒步旅行。当时的徒步范围是所有吉隆坡的旅游景点。沿途上我们规定不能花一分钱，包括了入场卷。听起来相当挑战，但是这难题一一都被我们解决了。那满足感也让我种下了喜爱以徒步来旅游的开始。随后展开了征服了东方花园、猫城、古城之旅。尚记得最长和最难忘的徒步经验是有13个人包括我一起从晚上开始行走，此徒步主要是测验我们的体力和毅力。地点是前往吉隆坡国际机场，再到武吉加里得体育场并以SUBANG附近的购物广场为终点。整个行程共花了3天3夜。当中发生了很多有趣的事情如在大道上被蛇追以及遭人抛鞭炮，当然沿途上也遇见驾驶人士为我们欢呼和鸣车笛声以示加油！所以徒步旅行可以让你体验想象不到的生活。
徒步发现[PIER]
好奇心作祟，体力旺盛，又喜爱新鲜和往高难度挑战。所以不单在国内徒步，即使去到国外也一样。总觉得唯有如此才能让自己的脚印留在不同的国土上。如今台湾、香港、星加坡，泰国、澳洲等都有我的足迹了！
比如当我在曼谷时，徒步探索让我发现了原来河岸旁其实每隔一段距离都有小码头，看看城中地图除了标志“PIER” (码头) 之外，就没有提到有关它的用途。难道只是供船只来上下货而已吗？若是为了上下货，为何每隔一段距离都有个码头呢？ 心中的好奇心病这时又发作了，所以就决定去探索来医治它。沿途上刚好是下班时间，所以看见很多当地人成群结队的前往小码头的方向走进走出。我的好奇心就更加强烈了！於是我就融入人群中一起迈向目的地。来到码头才发现，原来当地的居民是依赖这小码头的船只来穿越在纵横交错的湄南河到对岸去上班和上学。
这不是以货船为主的码头。反而类似“船站” 。抱着“既来之，则安之” 的心情，付了15BATTH就上船横渡不知对岸是何处的地方。 码头使用的船只不是“ SAMPAN ” 反而是一艘用铁做成的“小渡轮” ，船的设计呈四方并加上一个盖以阻挡豪雨烈阳。船的周围只用简单的几条铁支围着，所以当船只航行时，你会投入在风的怀抱中。
此时大厦和街灯出的光茫，为傍晚的“东方威尼斯”添加情趣

祸福皆从“口”开始
一张"嘴"的厉害
从事主持工作绝对少不了的工具就是那张好比如枪械的嘴巴！所谓祸从口出，并从口入。单单只需三画就能写完的[口]字，是何等的危险！
说好话好比如[口出莲花]，说坏话仿佛[口出菊花]。可见“善恶”稍微拿捏不准就会酿成不同的结果。
除了需拥有三寸不烂之舌之余，脑子里的知识也是非常重要的。那到底是牙尖嘴利最重要，还是内涵主导一切？两者是相辅相成的，缺一不可！没有内涵的谈话，就像一杯白开水。听的人就像吃了一餐没有营养的快餐。说的人更像是为了填满时间而一直不停的口出不知什么花。

Old Man Destiny makes me thought of my future!
An Old Man Destiny?
Have you ever thought of you might be broke one day? If it does happened, what will you do other than surprise or shock? Why do I think of this question? All is due to I saw a man, an old man who pass by starbucks and saw him starring at the one of the table located outside the of the café, To be more specific, it actually just next to me but we were separated by a big glass.
Wondering why does he starring at the table?
The table has two cup of unfinished beverage (probably frappucino ice blended) and a plate of half eaten cake. All of sudden he just sit down and pour the two drinks into one, then finished the other half of the cake. He is broke and maybe doesn’t has family members to care of him.
What to do when you are starving and out of money? Pick up those food that left by people. This would be the basic way to stay alive. It’s a basic instinct to fulfill physical needs in first place.
Looking at the old man makes me think of myself. Not because that I used to be like him. Is am I going to be like him in future? Who knows when the old man in young age, probably is a rich man with a big bungalow or a normal person with a happy family etc. what is the caused that makes him to become what he is today? Only God and he knows.
Deep In my heart, I pray for him that he will have a better future soon.Besides that, I also blessing for myself,hoping that i will not to be like him in future. God is fair to everyone, Isn’t HE. It must be a reason why he became like this.

A340 - 4 engine aircraft
Airbus A340
Airbus A340 is a long- range four engine wide body commercial passenger aircraft.A340-600 is the longest airliner in the world. A340 is parallel with the twin engine A330 because they are sharing the same wing and similar fuselage structure and borrow heavily from the advanced avionic developed fro A320. Due to the low interest from the market, Airbus announced that enhanced version of A340 will be under production. Dubbed with A340E which has fuel efficient than the earlier A340s.
For Singapore Airlines, they were the first airlines to operate a special types of A340 model called A340-313X. Airbus delivered it to SIA in April 1996. However Singapore Airlines no longer operated it.
The model that currently uses by the Singapore Airlines is A340-500. It was the world longest range commercial airliner, until the introduction of B777-200LR( long range) Worldliner. They uses this model for it Newark, New Jersey – Singapore nonstop route, an 18 hours, 15,345km journey that is the longest non-stop commercial flight in the world.
Compare the A340-300 with A340-500. there are some differences.
1.A340-500 features a 3.3m fuselage stretch.
2.An enlarged wing area.
3.Massive increase in the fuel capacity.( around 50% over – 300)
4.Slightly higher cruising speed.
5.Larger horizontal stabilizer.
6.Smaller vertical tailplane
7.A340-500 and A340-600 has the camera to help pilots during ground maneuvers.
8.A340-500 is powered by using Rolls-Royce Trent 553 which will produce 53,000lb thrust force.
An upgrade version of A340-500 is the A340-500(HGW-High Gross Weight). It is powered Rolls-Royce Trent 556 which will produce 56,000lbf of thrust.
A340-600 provides similar passenger capacity to 747 but the twice the cargo volume, and at lower trip cost. This model length is more than 10 m longer than the A340-300. In fact is more than 4 metres longer than a B747-400. This type of model using the same engine as A340-500HGW which produces 56,000lb of thrust force. In additional 4 wheel undercarriage on the fuselage center-line to cope with the increased MTOW.
The direct competitor of A340-600HGW is the B777-300ER which currently being use by SIA.

Boeing 777 summary
B777 aircraft at Bali Airport
B777
This is just a summary for the info i read about B777.
Boeing B777 is the long – ranged twin-engine commercial airliner which built by Boeing Company. Its maiden flight is on 12-6-1994. B777 is the first aircraft that designed entirely by using 3D CAD software system oar known as CATIA. By using this way to design, it actually helps the engineer to examine the interference and test the thousand part of the component whether properly fit together or not before costly physical prototype were manufactured. It is very easily to identify by looking at the rear of the aircraft. It has the tailcone notch. Other improvement for the B777 is that each set of the main undercarriage has 6 wheels with it. This makes it another way to recognized this aircraft.
B777 has few different variants of model.
B777-200
B777-200ER( extended range)
B777-200LR(long range) Worldliner
B777-300
B777-300ER
B777-300ERF
Singapore airlines is the largest operator for the B777’s family. It has 58 fleet that is currently in servicing. Where 15 of it is B777-200ER(Rolls Royce Trent 892) and 12 of it is B777-300(Rolls Royce Trent 892).31 fleet is B777-200(Rolls Royce Trent 884). Now with a firmed ordered of 19 B777-300ER(GE90-115B) and 13 more on option.
B777 is the first aircraft that has the ETOPS – 180 rating when it entry into service.ETOPS: It applies to twin engine aircraft where the twin engine aircraft has to fly within close range to an emergency airfield in case one of the engine has malfunctioned.
B777 has features a lot of advanced technology in it.
For instance,
1. They use the Honeywell LCD glass cockpit flight display,
2. fully digital fly by wire with emergency manual reversion.
3. Fully software configurable avionics.
4. Electronic flight beg computer.
5. fiber optic avionic network.
6. Large scale uses of composites( where 9% of weight)
7. Currently using the world most powerful turbofan engine in the world, produced by General Electric. It uses GE90-115B which can produce 115,300lbs of thrust force.
Singapore airlines B777-300ER had received their B777-300ER. This type of model is a upgrade version of -300, and it is a good alternative to a 747-400.
1. B777-300ER contains a lot of modifications,

Other than that, The main improvement of the aircraft is increasing in the maximum take-off weight(MTOW).The capacity of passenger in both variant are the same and the payload capacity almost the same as well, but the MTOW is different.
e.g:
B777-300 MTOW is 660,000lb
B777-300ER is 775,000lb
In aviation rules, the MTOW must subtracted by the payload weight and empty weight to determine the ZERO- FUEL WEIGHT or LANDING WEIGHT. The remaining weight gives the capacity for carrying fuel.
With its advanced technology in this aircraft.The Direct competitors are A330, A340 and A350.

超越自己的旅游记
步行活火山对马来西亚人来说是一件非常新鲜又具有危险的活动。尤其是对来自不受天灾威胁的国家-马来西亚来，尝试挑战步行火山不失为寻找刺激的另一项选择。
巴厘岛的Gunung Batur是一座位于KINTAMANI的火山。距离海拔是1717米。根据导游所提供的消息，该座火山曾经爆发将近20次，而距离最近的爆发是发生在1994年，而最严重那一次是在1917年。当时火山于凌晨夜晚爆发，也因此将山脚下居住并处于睡梦中的千多位村民给葬身于熔岩浆下，----甜蜜的睡眠转化成永恒的长眠----
冒险细胞
11月份初的我已经感应到“冒险细胞”又再次活跃了。为了要满足它，于是就开始HIKING TO SUMMIT OF GUNUNG BATUR之旅。一来是要真正近距离接触和见识“火山真面目”（电视纪录片另当别论），二来想体验徒步火山的滋味如何的。
试想想，那些高温的熔岩在冷却后会形成怎么样的画面？火山口内又会是一个怎样的情况呢？而整个火山只有一个火山口吗？告诉你，不止一个！
如果你还有其它疑问，建议你去一趟，你就会找到答案了！
刺激又危险的活动未必适合每个人参与，而且还要考虑本身行程表能否让你又时间进行这火山步行与否。若你要参加这活动，可能就得要牺牲睡眠中最甜蜜的时段了，因为行程是在凌晨两点钟开始，导游将会安排轿车从酒店接送到火山脚下，整个路程耗时约两小时（此时唯有在车上继续和周公约会）。不过之前记得先要准备好饮料或面包以充作早餐。因为徒步是从凌晨4点开始，当你到达火山顶时，你将会欣赏到巴厘岛的日出景色是多么的动人，尤其是身处在火山的顶端看日出。别有一番滋味！
早餐
之后在有小浓烟之处准备早餐，导游将会为每人提供一粒鸡蛋，自己动手在距离海拔1717米的火山处准备鸡蛋早餐！利用火山所散发的水蒸气，它的温度足以将鸡蛋蒸熟。吃进肚里，感觉体内也随之充满像火山般不可预测的力量。
如果你想以更充足的体力和精神去征服火山，你可以安排在凌晨四点钟才开始从酒店前往目的地。由于此巴厘岛之旅是属自由行，所以我选择了后者。虽然迟些进行，但依然能在山脚下观赏日出的时刻。东方艳阳又圆又大，仿佛像日本国旗般。
不得私闯
我的行程是在早上7点开始，并由当地的[徒步团体]安排他们的会员带领我们上去。一个领队最多可以带四个人。另外要提醒各位人士，除非你是该团体的会员，否则不得私自进行步行者火山。根据导游说，曾经有一对德国夫妇私自进行步行，而且该妇女已怀孕4个月。然而在过程中不幸遇到火山爆发而遭殃。酿成2尸3名的意外。为此整个附近的居民甚至当地政府花了很多钱来进行宗教祈祷仪式，以象征恢复它的圣洁。这座山对当地人来说是圣洁之山，
步行时最好保持沉默以免消耗更多得体力。同时最好一直跟随导游的步伐痕迹，因以免踩到松软的土沙而滑倒。在山脚下，你会越过很多又大又黑的熔岩，而且多处有尖角。无形中就像走在剑刀上。半山后的路段就较多小熔岩而且泥沙是松软的，尤其是当越过狭小的山路时，更要提起十二分精神。稍微不谨慎就会跌下悬崖。在另一座山处，你会看见爱之宣言。是利用熔岩石排出爱箭穿心并附有情侣的名字在心上的设计图案。若你选择以最长的路线下山，你一定能留意到这若言的存在。
魔鬼作祟
整个过程从以着最短的路线开始徒行再以最长的路线下山，前后共花了5个小时来完成。沿途中，心中的魔鬼一直不停吵着的要我放弃，不停的自问为何千里迢迢付钱来这里受苦呢？各种放弃的理由都在这时浮现出来。其实，这就是最佳时刻来考验自己的毅力和耐力，甚至突破本身的潜能！
这趟火山步行，我不但征服它，也超越了自己！

第一次征服火山
征服火山 Gunung Batur,Bali
攀登活火山对很多人来说是一件非常新鲜又具有危险的活动。尤其是对于来自一个不受天灾威胁的国家-马来西亚来说，尝试挑战征服火山似乎也多了一种刺激成份。
巴厘岛的Gunung Batur是一座位于KINTAMANI的火山。高度距离海拔是1717米。根据导游所提供的消息，曾经爆发将近20次的这座火山，距离最近的爆发是在1994年，而最严重那一次是在1917年。当时火山于凌晨夜晚爆发，也因此将山脚下附近正在睡梦中的千多位村民给葬身于熔岩浆下，----甜蜜的睡眠转化成永恒的长眠----
Overmaster on Volcano Mountain
Hiking the Volcano mountain- Gunung Batur,Bali
Kintamni is a very peaceful and beautiful place. The view is so nice and all you could say is Wow!!!
Kintamni is a very peaceful and beautiful place. The view is so nice and all you could say is Wow!!!
Regarding the development on the area, it really needs a standard and profesional agency helps to boost it up!The people over there besides depends on the income from selling stuff to tourist, they also rely on the reutrn of the agriculture.
The reason im saying they need a standard and profesional agency due to the charges that I paid. Its vary with different people.Firstly, the day before to Kintamani, I dealed with my tour guide with a sum of money 200,000rupiah which included the transportation and fees for the Kintamani's local tour guide who specially bring us up to the Volcano Gunung Batur.
Time to wake up!!! 3am to get ready!!
When we get there, we look for a person incharge, somehow my sense told me the person we first met is not the guide and later i found out he actually is a farmer. so the payment that I dealed with 200,000 rupiah gone up to 400,000 rupiah for two person.however after bargaining, we closed deal at 350,000rupiah. I'm bit not happy with it however what can we do since we were there, either pay or leave! so without going back empty handed,we paid!
Then he just leading us to the starting point and hand us to the local Gunung Batur hiking association. From there, local's tour guide take over.
It's cold in the morning and temperature adequate.so pls don't bring extra jacket during hiking because you will get hot and wet once you started to hike. nevertheless,the sun is rising during your hiking.If you bring, it will become a resistance element for you.
Advice to everyone.
Choosing the shortest way up and then go down with the longest way.You will see a lot of beautiful view and scene. Its marvellous. We started from 7:10am and finished it nearly 12pm.so it took us bout 5 hours. For those who want to catch the sun rise moment.you have to join it early. the earliest hiki is 4am. For me, I still able to catch the sun rise when i started to hike at 7 plus in the morning,but in the bottom of the volcano.
Remember
While hiking, there will be a person following you behind. it might be a small kid or a guy. they are the beverage seller.Normally they just carry 4 to 5 bottles of drinks. Its pity (if is kid following) if we didn't buy some drinks from him.The fact is, when we reached to the first "warung"( very very simple coffee house) at the top.we were out of water and have to buy it from the kid.a bottle of mineral water cost 20,000rupiah! hahaha!! that's why i said, if can bring extra water with you.
Notice to you!

Extreme's awareness makes you drive
Brave enough to do something extreme?
When was the last task you completed? Couldn’t remember? Congratulation, that’s mean you are getting old and you kind of get used to the way of life u are right now. Therefore, taking up a challenge will no longer be the topic for you to consider in life.
Challenge is something that not comes with guarantee of successful achievement. However, if you didn’t try you sure fail. Only those who have passion towards life will keep on going to makes friend with it as well as so call dangerous and uncertainness element.
Have you ever done something that will caused people yelled at you “You crazy!”? I’m believed lots of people answer will be nope or not dare!
My question for you.
Don't you think our life is always full of uncertainness and dangerous? You won’t know what will happened next minute or even a second. You can predict but you might can’t accomplished it as you think or plan. Don’t forget, Life is not always as smooth as silk. Therefore, it is a wise way that we should get used to what we called-- challenge. At least It makes our life full of color and excitement.

思维的改变不能少了动词---移动
一次阅读报章时，留意到星洲副刊的其中一篇报导，觉得很有意思，於是将它记录下来，告诉自己、警惕自己唯有移动方能有所思长！
人在移动中的改变思维
现代航空业的发展拉进了世界的距离，目前在地球上任意两点之间的迁移均可于24小时之内完成。
世界人民的交往逐渐加深，“空中飞人”似乎变成一种生活状态。
根据统计，每天全球约有3万8千个商业飞机航班，美国的飞机乘客人数占约全球总人数的40%，每天有190万美国人乘坐飞机，从人类进化史来看，移动对于提高人类对环境的适应能力具有无法替代的作用。
认知心理学发现，人的注意力最容易被移动的景物所唤醒。在新的环境中，所有的感官就会全面启动，新的感官刺激充击着大脑，新异的刺激还给人带来新的收获。身临其境会促使人们下意识地加工这些新的资讯，与自己的原有资讯进行对比，满足自己的自我价值定位。通过与异地他乡人的比较，人会更加的了解自己的生活，自己的处境。如果与他人相同，我们会得到认同感，如果与他人不同，我们会得到独特感。通过比较，我们还会对自我的状况进行反省，把别人的经验转化为自己的状况进行反省，把别人的经验转化为自己的。

First flying experienced on EAGLE 150B
First flying experienced on EAGLE 150B
I couldn't forget my first time in aviation industry. The time when I had the chance to control the entire aircraft in the air. The date ~ 31-12-2005. I think it was a perfect way to say goodbye to 2005 in a special way. Besides that, its likes a reborn day for me. Never thought of I will have the chance to do that in my life ever. Especially when I thought flying is just a dream that I couldn’t achieve anymore. The fact is life sometimes doesn’t goes like what you plan. Anyway I will give a big applause to myself for making an effort to make it dream comes true.Yohoooo!!!
The aircraft I seated was EAGLE-150B. it’s a 2 seater, sporty yet small type of aircraft if compare to Cessna 152 0r 172. However it can speed up till 120 knot easily. The pilot in command is a singaporean lady that serve under a flying club in Terminal 3 Subang Airport. Her name is Nisthi and she is younger than me but pro in flying because that time she accumulated about 100 hours of flying in her logbook.
Before started the engine, we have to go through some pre-check procedure such as fuel checking, pitot tube condition as well as the aerofoil and engine too. The sun is hot on that day but it didn’t stop me from flying. In fact it helps me to burn the passion towards flying till the limit. Hahaha!!!
From ramp vicinity, taxi to the runway and waiting permission for take off. It’s a different view from cockpit.
Few minutes of waiting and we were clear to take off at the end of the one side runway.We moved the throttle forward till it reached the maximum take off speed bout 80 knot. Then joystick pull back ward which will deflect the elevator upward and lift the aircraft up to the sky.
We were ordered to climb and maintain at altitude 1000feet. From there I asked lots of question regarding flying and acted like a kids looking up and down and side to side. Exactly like those who first time flying with airplane. Hahaha!! Such a funny moment.

We flew from Subang terminal airport to Port Klang boundary. Its different view if you watch the buildings, cars, factories and housing area from 1000feet. My advice to everyone. Give a try and you will know what am I talking about. Meanwhile, from the moment you weared your headset, the control tower will keep on saying and requesting something once in a while in aviation way , which you will not understand unless you attend the RT(Radio Telephony) class. From there I realized that it doesn’t goes like what we watched in the movie. The headset is one thing that won’t keep quiet or maintain silence unless we unplugged it from connector, We have to update with ATC (air traffic control) after a certain of time, Not just informed them about our location and direction plus ETA(estimate time arrival), its very important for pilot to gain latest information about the weather condition as well.
During flight, I experienced the G-Force by doing a steep turn 2 to 3 times. I screamed it out loud not because of I scared, is because of I was very excited about it. Then here comes the moment where I won’t forget about it for the rest of my life. My turn to take control on the Eagle 150B, its not easy to at the beginning because you need to maintain it at a steady level and avoid stall. and it just like sitting in a roller coaster when I take over the control. However, thank god I learned thing fast and I always practiced my SIM flight by using joystick at home. Hence, I managed to control the aircraft in a steady level for a while. hahahahaha!!
On our way back during approached, Nisthi told me that we facing a tailwind situation. Well to be honest I can’t tell what tailwind was because I’m just controlled it for a while so can’t really felt the difference.
After landed, Nishti let me have the chance to taxi it back to the ramp. Gosh! It’s a terrible taxi from runway into the taxiway. I almost caused the aircraft get into the field area. The left right turn of the aircraft controlled by pushing the pedal to the left or right, it depends which direction you want to go. If you want to stop the aircraft on ground. Push the two pedals together with your legs and it will stop the aircraft.
That was the story of my first time take control on an aircraft. Even though it was hot and sweat, but its fun and unforgettable. Hence, Its worth!!!
