最后一天

嗯，今天是最后一天了。早上呢和朋友去吃早餐，之后就回到我家处理一些事。接着，就有学弟妹们来拜年了。从早上就一直吃，吃到现在，饱得要死。最后一天，感触是什么呢？其实，就是有一点舍不得，但又有一点期待这样吧。毕竟这是我的梦想，现在离我的梦想之差2天了。想想看有一点不可思议呢。

明天早上的班机，见证了这是我今年最后一次留在民都鲁。这次过去后，也不知道什么时候回来，能的话也是明年新年时候回来吧。下午本来跟朋友约好了要去喝茶，不过后来人太少，干脆不去了。唉，最后一天了，不知道要做什么，很乱啊～就这样了。下午post的时候应该是在MFA了，再见啦。










这是我历来从AirAsia所收到的emails，其实还有更多，只是一面显示不完。

倒数7天

望着墙上的日历，发现今年是大年初一了，正月26号，我才惊觉我所剩的时间不多了。如今，这短短的一个星期真的是开始进入倒数的阶段了。该整理的行李也整理的差不多了，该买的东西也已经买了，现在能做的其实也没有什么了，就等着时间过吧。

刚才整理房间时看到我已过所收到的贺年卡，就一张一张翻进去看，结果发现到原来我收到的也不少啊。这每一张对我来说都是美好的回忆，中学生涯时互赠卡片，可是现在都没机会了。唉，好可惜啊。如果时间能倒数该有多好，不过我清楚知道那是不可能的了。

身边的同学也有一些去读大学了，另一些还留在民都鲁。刚好碰到新年期间，我也想找你们出来喝最后一次茶。很抱歉，我只能放星期六，因为我第二天就要飞去西马了，实在没办法抽出其他时间来。很遗憾，今年我不能跟你们去拜年，这真的是我今年最遗憾的事吧。不过，少了我应该也不会有什么大碍吧。记得要拿多一点红包啊！

说到这里，还不能不提一下前几天所发生的一阵骚动，也让我和其他亚航Cadet感到心神不宁、人心惶惶、坐立不安。事情是这样子，相信大家都知就有3方involved，分别是AirAsia, Maybank和MFA。原本说好的，学费全权由Maybank先帮我们还给MFA，结果当天MFA却打电话找我们要钱，而且一讨就是RM66,500!天啊！一时去哪里找这笔钱？不是说好Maybank还钱吗？怎么又向我们要钱？后来，听说是因为银行欲拖欠付款，同时飞行学院又想提早拿到钱。双方在洽谈不拢之下，MFA就做出惊人又让人匪夷所思、出乎意料的举动，就是直接向学员们要钱！眼看实在没办法了，我只好和其他的Cadet们开连线会议商讨决策。结果，最后决定只能写email向AirAsia求助。第二天，我就写好了email，寄给AirAsia的高层。第三天，他们回复我，要我们"Disregard MFA's request,let them deal with it."。另外，我妈也试着打电话找Maybank的人，那个经理也说"I also don't know why they (MFA) would do this..."。所以啊，那三方就会在年初三坐下来开会讨论咯。如果最后大家都无法持相同的意见，我们也许不会加入MFA了，很可能会换学校，最有可能就是去Langkawi的HMA。无论如何，我还是希望一切都会没问题，因为我们只剩下一个星期就开课了。

求主保守，凡是交托给主，多祷告。

梦想实现

算算看，离我开课的时间也不过剩下短短的10几天而已。这10多天该怎么过呢？多跟朋友聚聚？还是多留在家里陪家人？唉，是时候要好好分配我的时间了。

话说回来，这一切其实真的蛮奇妙的，因为我所知道的马来西亚第一间，也是最早的飞行学院就是坐落在马六甲的MFA(Malaysian Flying Academy)。之前，我曾经考虑过要加入坐落在我家乡的GGIFA(Gulf Golden International Flying Academy)，然后又一度差点加入吉兰丹的APFT(Asia Pacific Flight Training)。事情转来转去后，最后却转回到MFA去。哈哈。

据我所知，AirAsia到目前为止总共有7批的cadets。前面5批全部被送去MFA;第6批送去APFT，而第7批(就是我们这批)是分到两边，10个人去APFT，6个人去MFA。好奇怪的分配哦。不过，令我感到非常庆幸的是马六甲的地点要比吉兰丹好很多，若我要回来砂拉越的确比较方便。所以啊，能够加入MFA我已经感到很高兴了，我也不敢奢望太多。其实，各有各的好处啦，这里不方便评论。

反正，我也不理那么多，能够在当初的几百余人中脱颖而出，成为最后16人中的其中之一，我真的感到很庆幸。这意味着什么呢？告诉你们，Airline cadets和Private cadets的差别就是毕业后的工作保证(secured job)。身为AirAsia的cadet，就表示说我们毕业后就直接有工作，不必担心还要持着licence去航空公司申请工作。这就是最大的差别，所以能够的话还是成为Airline Cadets会比较好。为什么？因为Private Cadets毕业后没有工作，他们必须去自己去航空公司申请。而且，就算申请了，也未必会100%被录取！

有兴趣当机师的朋友可以跟我联络，我会尽我的能力帮忙，带领你一步一步实现当机师的梦想。有朝一日，我们会成为同行，一起为我们的梦想而努力！

Offer Letter

Yeah !!! Finally received my offer letter from MFA today.



















However, there are still no news yet from both parties involved, Maybank and AirAsia. This is absolutely terrible and ridiculous...

Yet Another Painstaking Waiting...

It's left than 2 weeks now to join the training in MFA, yet the company hasn't informed us anything till now. The briefing, the loan, the bond signing, we have got no clue at all, seriously. But, who cares? I've managed to wait for 9 months already, this short 2 weeks won't cause any matter at all to me. It's not my practice to always complain on something but this time really get me pissed off! I'm totally dissatisfied with the company's way of dealing with this matter, only one word, SLOW！I seriously hope the company's working efficiency can speed up, well, at least don't leave everything until the very last minute to get them done. I love this company, but there's still lots of improvements. Dato Tony, you hear me?

Days back in 2008

Countdown has basically become my routine recently. Feeling a bit pity for my calendar, since I have to look at it everyday, if I don't, I'll feel uncomfortable. Well, it's slightly more than 20 days left before I get to join my dream school, MFA in Malacaa.

Looking back to the year 2008, I realized that I had gone through so many things and learnt so much throughout the whole year. It was fairly unbelievable that even me, myself is hard to believe that I'm able to make it until today. So, basically what did I do? Well, to save both your time and mine, I'll just make it short. Okay, that's what happened in year 2008. Firstly, I applied for AirAsia's cadet program back in March, later on received my first reply from AirAsia on my birthday (my best present ever), then I was invited to the first stage after the scrutinizing. After passing the first stage with flying colours and with no major problems at all, I received the email again which notifies me to proceed to second stage, the psychomotor and psychometric test.

Again, I passed it almost flawlessly (serious? just kidding) and continued to the third stage, the interview. This time was really a challenge for me since I don't possess good command of English, particularly my speaking which I can't master it very well until now. Why? Perhaps that's the typical Chinese boy's style, haha. Anyway, despite the whole process was full of horror and tension, I still managed to pass it with a low pass though. All I can describe the interview is with only one word, TERRIFIYING . And one thing which the interview didn't go as what I expected was the questions they asked me during the interview. I prepared so much for the interview, in the end none were "used".

Passing the interview was rather exciting, but I still couldn't relief until I pass the fourth stage, the medical check-up. Frankly, I was feeling concerned about the condition of my eyes as I'm wearing spectacle. I was worried that I couldn't pass my eye test, but luckily I got my medical cert with Class 1 in the end, or else I won't be posting this article today. And now, finally I'm waiting to be sent-off. How miracle was that for what had happened in this short but interesting one year when I recall all the experience I had gone through. It was absolutely unforgettable experience I should say.

Lastly, hope everything goes well in these short 20 days. I have no idea what's waiting for me in MFA, hopefully I can make some friends there. Good luck to me! MFA, I'm coming after you!

*Bear in mind that if you possess a dream, never ever think that it's not achievable, dare to pursue your dream and realize it. You can do it, and so am I!
