Fly me to the moon

It was very sudden and impromptu that we made a trip to Air Asia Training Academy yesterday evening. We were there to meet up with Mupinder, the grooming trainer to discuss about a project together.

After our discussion, she took us for a tour around the building. Wow, the training academy is actually huge. So many classrooms, a big canteen and ........

Air Asia Grooming Room filled with their new uniformed mannequins.

A big pool, not for swimming but for training the crew during emergencies and saving people.

The above is Tony's car, given by Renault. Wished to have one.

As we were touring the building, Mupinder showed us the place where there are simulators used for training purposes.

Mus, coincidentally was there and he offered to let us try the simulator. It was a cockpit!! Wow, it was a really awesome experience!!! Totally unexpected!

So, both my colleague and I went on to be the pilot and co-pilot for about at least 20 minutes. Mus was really nice to explain how the plane works, what do the pilots do and etc....

All ready! And we were taking off at the track!

The view as we were flying....

And this was me, cruising after we took off.

Check out the buttons, tiny ones and loads of them. Now, you can imagine what the pilot has to do.... There is auto pilot, but still...the pilot has to know what to press when there is an emergency, taking off and landing.

Mus set the simulator to be dawn. Isn't the view just breathtaking? We also experience the night scene.

This was me, all set and ready to land the plane. Can you find the tiny runway below?

There you go...a bigger picture of the runway.

Landing.....

And finally landed....safely.

Even though we landed safely, but I was really excited that needed oxygen. Haha...well, actually, it was more of me wanting to try out the oxygen mask. It is actually real and it provides oxygen. Mus told me to inhale as usual.

Hmm...not sure what and how to rotate this picture with the new Blogger template.
This was me and Mus after the simulator training.

We finally finished around 5.45pm. We thanked Mus for his kindness to show us the simulator and also Mupinder for taking us around. 

Received the whatsapp message from Leroy asking me to be at his house at 7pm, and cannot be late! We were going out for dinner with his family to celebrate Winter Solstice. Oh my.....1 hour from LCCT to his place?! I was sure I will be late. The traffic was really bad. I had to send my colleague to her car first before heading to Leroy's place. Anyway, I flew and by the time I got there, it was 720pm. Opps....

We headed to Sunway Pyramid for dinner in 1 car. After dinner, I watched the boys played Street Fighter and not too long after I left for home. I had somethings to do at home. As I just parked my car at the porch, Aunty called me and told me she wanted to give me 'Tong Yuen" to eat, and she didn't know I have left. (She was in her room when I left) I thanked her for it.

Well, it was an eventful day for me. A totally good experience at Air Asia. I guess my life is just getting a slightly more exciting these days. :)
