Hi guys, without noticing i had abandoned my blog for quite sometime now. Once again the year has come to an end and this year of 2014 was definitely not a very good one for most of us Malaysians. It has been an ordinary year full with ups and down (mostly downs).
Malaysia got its first knock out with the mystery disappearance of MH370 flight. Followed by another blow of the aircraft bombing of MH17. Malaysia is already in a devastation state with the lost of two MH misfortunes. It doesn't end there when an ugly flood attacks the east coast of peninsular Malaysia recently. And as we thought the flood will be the final agenda of the year, there goes another missing AirAsia's aircraft AQ8501and it's suspected to be crashed somewhere on the globe. Sigh, such a disastrous year for Malaysia.
For myself, year 2014 consider a year I'm not so exited with. Although there were moments that i truly grateful for but still its just a very simple and uneventful year for EddieQuah. :)
So, a short recap of what has been happening in my humble life. This year i manage to get back to the land of Borneo once again to participate in a 21 days special challenge course organized by the 'Outward Bound School' in Kinarut, Sabah. It was truly an awesome experience for me as I get to know Sabah in a whole new perspective. All the extreme hardcore activities were just so much fun. Especially when you're doing it with a group of cool people. Throughout the duration i have learned so much from each and everyone of them. So, during the course, i've done kayaking in the ocean, sailing for 9 hours to 'survival island', conquered the second highest mountain 'Trus Madi' and explored through part of Crocker Range. This course has brought me a huge impact and improvement in myself physically and mentally making me better as a person. My greatest gratitude goes to my cousin sister, JamieLee for creating this opportunity for me to experience all these.
Well, the year 2014 is also a year where i finally ditched the NEET status out from myself. I'm now doing my apprenticeship for our national carrier, Malaysia Airlines as a customer service agent trainee under a governmental program known as the 'Skim Latihan 1 Malaysia', by the Ministry of Human Resource. Apparently this training scheme is to improve the graduates' marketability in the work force as there are so many graduates who are unemployed and floating freely in the market. Hmm... just to clear off the confusions you guys might have, in another word we're doing training under the 'SL1M' program under the care and supervision of MAS. So, i'm not really a staff yet as we'll have to train for about 12 months and then, it's all up to the company whether or not to absorb us in as their permanent staff. So, after the 12 months duration its either we stay or it will be'Thank You and ByeBye' for us. For myself, i'm enrolling into this program as this will be a medium for me to venture into the aviation industry that i always wanted to be in. And to be honest, since i started, i felt more enrich despite the weird shift working hours that is quite exhausting at times.
Although the year 2014 has not been a a smooth sailing one despite all the major misfortunes, we still have some little little happy moments to make the year seems not so bad after all. Life still has to go on and no matter what, positive faith is what we really need in order to keep us going. So, let us pray and hope the incoming year 2015 will be way more better year than what we had and gone through in year 2014.
Thank You and see you all again soon.
