Air Asia Accident

Air Asia Accident in KL Airport
News Not Covered by Media
Special thanks to Chunling for forwarding the email:

Air Asia boast of good safety records... cheap fares... economy travel... One might wonder how Air Asia maintain their aircrafts with such cheap fares...
or do they even maintain their aircrafts to begin with...?
Interestingly enough, the forwarded email mentioned that this incident was never reported in the news media... and speculated that it might involve the government...I did a Wikipedia search on Air Asia and it was documented that on November 7, 2004, Air Asia flight 104 skidded off the runway in heavy rain after it touched down at Kota Kinabalu International Airport. Two passengers suffered minor injuries.
Q: Hmm... on second look, the photos above does looked like the aftermath of a heavy rain...

@ Tampines Polyclinic~ went there to see a doctor for my problematic right eye... (nope, dun think Sharingan /Byakugan /Rinnegan), so I could get a referral to a specialist~ the Swine Flu outbreak had the Polyclinic souped up their health checks at the door... everyone heading in got to have their temperature taken... so I queued all the way around the building for a hour before finally getting inside...

@ Junction-8~ spotted the long lost Kaya Cake at the Subway Niche~ so nostalgic~! I love these cakes so much that I've been searching for them for so long already~ didn't spare a second digging out money for one of these...
Dinner was at Junction-8 Food Court... there, I was taken in by this professional-looking chef doing the 刀削面 ... watch as he skillfully slices the dough into the boil soup~ but... on closer look, he wasn't using a knife... its a special tool meant for slicing dough... Fail.
Here's the 刀削面 ... perhaps I didn't know how to appreciate such dish... but I was sharing this bowl of noodles with my girlfriend and both of us didn't even ate half of it... Yuck~
@ the Arcade~ oh oh~ remember the Safari Zoo game? Where you'll choose a ranger, drive a jeep around, chase after some animals, and catch them using a net? I've been playing this game for so long, but I always failed in catching that Legendary White Lion at the final stage...
Well, this time, I caught the Legendary White Lion~! Finally completed the game!
