80秒爱

“法国有一句浪漫的话一分钟只有60秒 而我对你的爱却有80秒每分钟多爱你20秒 。
Il y a soixante secondes en une minute, mais je t'adore pour plus vingt secondes. 虽然这句话人们并不熟悉,但却能表达一个人内心的感情,法国人一般都是二十二十的数,因此多二十秒,一分钟只有六十秒,而我爱你的每一分钟都多出二十秒。

陳奕迅 《陀飛輪》


《陀飞轮》是陈奕迅演唱的一首粤语歌曲,收录于2010年陈奕迅推出EP 《Time Flies》,中文名时光如飞,表达出人随着年龄增长而对时间流逝的感慨。由黄伟文打造第二主打歌 《陀飞轮》,借由名表去思考时间、人生的答案  。黄伟文在继酒、车、相机后从手表出发,表达钱买不到值得回忆的时光、自由自在无拘无束的心情  。为了刻画他的人生历程,MV则有超人、太空人、小丑、兔仔等助阵,充满童年趣味,表达对童年的回味。

歌曲鉴赏

《陀飞轮》依然由黄伟文执笔,借着手表的寓言,进入化境。情感有一刹那充实过,口袋也有满足过,然而靠表面倒映出一生,最终是得还是失?表达钱买不到值得回忆的时光、自由自在无拘无束的心情 
《陀飞轮》无论歌词还是旋律都紧扣主题,一字一句刻画出对人生历程的感悟,词如其境,歌如其意:时光飞逝,流年如金,我们不能左右自己人生的长度,为什么不在仅限的时光里好好左右自己人生的密度?看似长长一大溜歌词,领悟其实也很简单——每个人都应该记住光阴的教训
《陀飞轮》算得上是黄伟文为Eason写的成熟男人玩物志的四部曲终结篇,继酒、车、相机后,这次从手表出发,窥视人生兜转过后的得与失;《陀飞轮》给不愿意屈服于生活的顽固人群一个借口,也是强心剂,让我们能够更坚定地走自己的路

歌词

过去十八岁没戴表
不过有时间
够我没有后顾野性贪玩
霎眼廿七岁时日无多方不敢偷懒
宏愿纵未了奋斗总不太晚
 
然后突然今秋
望望身边应该有已尽有
我的美酒跑车相机金表也讲究
直到世间个个也妒忌仍不怎么富有
用我尚有换我没有其实已用尽所拥有
曾付出几多心跳
来换取一堆堆的发票
人值得命中减少几秒多买一只表
秒速捉得紧了
而皮肤竟偷偷松了
为何用到尽了
至知哪样紧要
劳力是无止境
活著多好不需要靠物证
也不以高薪高职高级品搏尊敬
就算搏到伯爵那地位和萧邦的隽永
卖了任性日拼夜拼忘掉了为什么高兴
曾付出几多心跳
来换取一堆堆的发票
人值得命中减少几秒多买一只表
秒速捉得紧了
而皮肤竟偷偷松了
为何用到尽了至知哪样紧要
记住那关于光阴的教训
回头走天已暗
你献出了十吋时和分
可有换到十吋金
还剩低几多心跳
人面跟水晶表面对照
连自己亦都分析不了得到多与少
也许真的疯了
那个倒影多么可笑
灵魂若变卖了上链也没心跳
银或金都不紧要 谁造机芯一样了
计划了照做了得到了时间却太少 no~
还剩低几多心跳
还在数赶不及了
昂贵是这刻我觉悟了
在时计裏看破一生渺渺

A Handshake Says Thousand Words


Normally when we greet a person, handshake is the first body language & also a first impression to others.

Now here is some research about what a handshake says about you.

1.  A weak handshake shows the person is lack of confidence.

2. A handshake with both hand is also called a politician handshake. The initiator is trying to show his sincerity.

3. A handshake with taking an upper hand is showing over confidence of initiator & a controller. It's also called as a dictator handshake.

4. A very quick brush off handshake shows the initiator is don't care & don't have time to this person.

5. A too hard or too long handshake shows negative excess or overcompensation.

6. A handshake with only grasp finger shows the insecurity of the person.

7. A claw of a lobster, the other person’s thumb and fingers touch the palm of your hand. The person doing this fears connecting at a deep level and may have challenges building relationships.

8. A handshake without eye contact shows the shyness & insecurity of the person.

9.Finally, the right way to shake someone’s hand. Remember to:
  • Keep good posture
  • Make eye contact
  • Hold your RIGHT hand out
  • Give a good firm shake
  • Follow the 2 seconds rule
  • Smile!
  • Greet the other person and repeat their name

Cross-Crew-Qualification (CCQ)




CCQ is a unique concept developed by Airbus, which allows pilots to do transition training between Airbus rating in a more efficient way. The transition training from A320 Family aircraft to the A380 takes 15 working days, from A330/A340 Family aircraft it takes 15 working days, while a pilot with no Airbus Fly-By-Wire experience requires 24 working days to complete the A380 standard type rating course The.aim is to provide a profound and still cost effective Airbus difference training. This is ideal for pilots who want to change the type, or for airlines with a mixed fleet flying concept. Every combination is possible. From any Airbus type to another Airbus type. It is more economical for an airline to recruit new pilots who are already Airbus qualified. For pilots, this benefit provides greater mobility and better prospects for employment.

Haraju Cube

Haraju Cube located at Empire Damansara, Petaling Jaya.
 
This is Haraju Tart, a signature of Haraju Cube. It is a creamy cheese tart serve with an ice cream. When you cut off the tart, the creamy cheese started to melt out. The taste a bit sweet but the portion is just nice for two.

Bottle to Throttle rule


Bottle to Throttle rule is a rule for pilots to consume alcohol before flights normally is 8 hours, however most of the airlines will increase it to 12 hours for a better time margin. This rule basically is based on the metabolism rate for a normal human to eliminate pure alcohol with a certain rate. A hangover effect should be over for a normal people after 8 hours after consumed certain amount of alcohol.

For my personal kind advice, don't drink alcohol before drive as well as before flight. 

Hello Kitty Gourmet Cafe


Hello Kitty Gourmet Cafe, located at Sunway Pyramid. For design wise, nothing much to comment since it's a Hello Kitty theme cafe so almost all the things here are Hello Kitty & pink in color.

Here you can choose for high tea or ala carte. I have tried the high tea for 2 pax which cost around RM 100. The foods also pink & Hello Kitty, for the taste is just satisfy that the ingredients are fresh. For the portion actually just nice for 2 girls for high tea. The ambiance is cozy with the pink color tone.For Hello Kitty lover, it's a nice place to explore out there.

Tourbillon


Tourbillon is a French word, means whirlwind. It is an escapement for timepiece.It operates by continuously rotating the escapement and balance assembly in order to negate the effect of gravity when the escapement is resting in a certain position.That means no matter what position the watch is in, those timing variations are essentially canceled out. It's aim is to improve accuracy.A tourbillon is one of the pinnacles of horological achievement, and a truly impressive feat of engineering.

What's make an Airlines

Recently in Malaysia there's is a lots of new airlines have been build up. To make an airlines, it's not an easy job and required a very huge capital.

 Like as any other company, an airlines also required those basics departments such as HR department, account department, marketing department & etc, but some more departments like crew, flight dispatch, maintenance, ramp & etc are required. Build an airlines required a lots of man power to run it hence will makes higher employment rate.

Anyhow the largest cost and most important things to set up an airlines is the aircraft. An aircraft is the tool for airlines to make profit. Most of the airlines starting by leasing old aircraft from others as starting to reduce the cost. However to make an aircraft fly isn't that easy too. An airlines has to get an Air Operating Certificate (AOC) from Department Of Civil Aviation (DCA).

Basically for aircraft itself required a lot of documentation to fly it such as C of A, insurance...and everything is not easy to get certified and need to renew by time to time. To fly an aircraft there is a few sets of crew required too for operation & standby.

Other than that the route for an airlines operating is also important. It requires a lots of survey before stating a destination for the statistic of pax & cargo which determines the profit of the airlines from the route. However to land on the destination also required approval for the schedule time, parking bay, ground support...so many stuff to be considering.

Lastly how the airlines makes profit from?? That's what we called it as payload which is passenger, baggage & cargo. Some extra services can be charged too such as inflight meal, onboard wifi & merchandise.


Appreciate everyone contribute to makes an airlines, safe flight ;)

Segal's law

Segal's law states that "A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure."

A man with one watch can't really be sure he knows the right time, he merely has no way to identify error or uncertainty.

Nevertheless, the saying is also used in its purely surface sense, to caution against the potential pitfalls of having too much potentially conflicting information when making a decision.

Before start shopping, we will need to do some "homework" which is go through the catalog in H&M official website https://www.hm.com/gb/balmain We won't have anytime to think and choose what we want when go in that every batch is only given 15 minutes to shop only so everyone will shop like crazy on that time.

I only manage to get myself a sun glass. It's a good experience for me.
I was interviewed by NTV7 Malaysia about the shopping experience.
