Good day folks. I’ve finally found some time after the past couple of days being stuck with assignments after assignments; but it’s obvious that I’m now on a full swing pace. As much as I’d love to update the past two days especially since I’ve been dying to share my experience up on the air! That totally made my weekend, and I’ll write about that a little later down the post.

I’m a thinker by nature, I think a lot and when I say a lot; I mean a never-ending self-driven machine that goes on and on wondering about a million things. They say that a mind is a dangerous place to get caught in, and as much as I try to not get suck into it; Ellie the bum bum never fails to go astray. It’s not exactly an Alice in Wonderland situation, but I like happy thoughts.

One of the main contributor to all my smiley days; like how I’d smile over the thought of the Keeper calling up to tell me that he’s gonna renew his driving license for a year because mine is due to expire next year on the very same date. Its these little random things that counts, it goes to show how lucky I am in so many ways; count your blessings & quit pondering on the things in life you’d never attain. In life its all about finding that inner peace, and focus in doing the things you’re set out to reach out for.

For example, at this very point of my life; it’s all about prioritizing on my architectural studies and trust me it’s a million times tougher than you think to refrain myself from getting sucked into all the media buzz & awesome freebies. I feel so bad at times not being able to keep up with the flooding emails; frankly speaking the amount of time I spend online goes simultaneously with the amount of time I’m actually working at home. I know you might find this hard to believe, but I rarely open up this page not unless I’m actually logging on to update.

Enough of ranting, lets get down to some serious business. I’ve always had this thing for pilots, this was once upon a long time ago wtf not until I realize that there’s more cons than pros when you date a pilot. Anyhoo, last weekend; I’ve finally found my way up to a private plane flown by Reuben; a 30-40minutes long tour flying around Kuala Lumpur.The thing about photo opportunities when you’re in the tallest building in the world, you’ll probably have some form of similar experience getting shots, overlooking the surroundings from a higher point.

Either that, or you’re up on the aeroplane taking off to some country getting all excited upon take-offs and landings because that’s probably the only chance we get to snap pictures being above ground level. So imagine, the excitement I had when I know that I’m actually gonna be able to have an overview of the immediate cityscape from slightly above eye level but lower than a birds eye view.

Nope you can’t fit all of us into the plane, maximum four passengers!

I’ve always find this fascinating

Cute yellow truck.

We were told to stay away from the front propeller at all times, for safety purposes.

Didn’t have the time to pack on proper makeup, and this is Jason Ong with me this morning !

Esther who literally saved me from going through an entire morning puking my hearts out if I were to participate in the “stunts” session. I have a tiny winy bit of motion sickness,boohoo.

Esther, Hanie & myself.

We sort of violated the very well written rules

Found an extremely relevant outfit for the morning, grabbed ‘em from the crazy ZARA who’s on sale at the moment !

Beautiful after the rain, ain’t it?

The first 30 minutes of the first group Hanie, Evo & Marcus; and now its finally our turn. I have to admit that as the clock ticked, i was a little nervous and paranoid having a million thoughts running through my head like oh what if i crash and die wtf. This is what happens to people who thinks too much, but i kept those thoughts to myself of course. Wouldn’t wanna freak everyone else out right? People get up on the plane, to have this adrenaline thrill all the time, whats life is its not lived to the fullest!

I personally like this shot, when you turn the camera around before the plane takes off.

It was a smooth take off session, try picturing the usual big ass aeroplanes experience, and multiply that 2426398462736410934 times since we’re in a plane that can accomodate only four people.

#1 Sayonara

#2 Kuala Lumpur sure looks way different from here, its almost as if i can touch them. Like legos !

#3 Berjaya Times Square.

#4 Don’t ever underestimate the feeling of being above ground, and looking upon all the tiny cars, and how birds enjoy the beautiful view from above.

#5 My current desktop wallpaper.

#6 The KL Tower & spot Pavillion !

#7 The Petronas Twin Tower. <3

#8 Here’s to illustrate how you can squeeze something as tall as the Petronas Twin Tower.

I am so glad that I went for this, because it sort of hit the refresh button from all the stress & emoness wtf. I know that most people would love this if you’ve got the guts & ran out of things to do. Just a random note, wouldn’t it be a romantic thing to go on a date, up in the air? I mean we’ve done everything cliche, and I highly recommend you to give this a try! Thanks Reuben for the amazing experience, at least now I can tell people that I’ve been on a private plane.

KL By Air.

Cessna 172 – RM600 per hour all inclusive (Depart from Sg Besi Air Base or Subang Airport)
Cirrus SR20 – RM1000 per hour all inclusive (Depart from Subang Airport only)
Both aircraft seat 3 average build passengers comfortably. One way to save costs is to share the rental between each passenger – so find a friend or two!

I’ll do the math, grab two other friends; pay RM100 each for a 30 minutes ride.
Hope you’d at least check KL By Air out aite!
