Friday The 13

Recalled reading something about this infamous day just few days back.Thing t'was sumtin to do with a black guy bruttaly murdered somewhere in US.This racial tragedy was remembered to this day as a day of gruesome notoriety,an inhuman act that worth a moment to ponder and the subsequent taboo was leading to this day being known as a very unlucky day.

People who genuinely know me will agree that i don't give a S***T to such baseless believes.But just for the sake of laughter,i actually had a fairshare of todays "celebration".

Got up early today for a recurrent training in Simulator Building in Mas HQ,Subang.Its the ritual that all pilots around the globe go through.BASE CHECK, as we call it, is what all flyers undergo once every 6months.In short, they (the authorised examiner pilots-AE) chuck you in the simulator and give you a whole lot of entertaininig scenarious.Windshears...thunderstorms....gusting crosswinds.....engine on fire...rapid decompressions...you name it la bro....they got it all.These simulators cost airliners a fortune and they're not asbout ready to put it to waste.

Neway as for today its not the simulator ride.That will be the day after tomorrow.It'll just be the CBT session,basically a Computer Based Training where they gear you up and polish your aircraft systems knowledge before they torture you in the torturing chamber (the simulator).Well the session got through quite expectedly,albeit i wasn't entirely up to it.Had barely 3hours sleep the last nite.Mind over matter.


So what the heck was i bitching about Friday the 13???Well, it has got to do with my car.CBT over,headed to the usually-packed-and- inadequate parking lot.The usual thing that people do when they park there was basically shuf your car to any empty lot that you can find,as long its not gona grieve someone else leaving the lot.Which was exactly what i did in the morning when i got there.

And here i was, walking to my car and discovered this bulky piece of crap locking my wheels.And being a "pilot-person", i was entirely calm.Even crafted a cute smile on my face.Thats life i suppose.S**T happens.Went to the guard house and spoke to the guy in charge of the sinful act.Had sum small talk not worth mentioning here,and was told to wait by my car.And one encik came and save the day...with 30 bucks jacked of my wallet,of course.Didnt even tried negotiating some cheap deal.Just paid the fine and drove of.Told my self-for all and all,THIS IS NOT A FRIDAY THE 13 THINGY!!!!Just to reaffirm my believes system,you know,just incase.And was convince.

That was it.Nothing major,really.Once again stand in triumph and with all glory.Yea...BS, i know.Neway...gota gear up for the simulator sessions.Bring it on man.
