Its January and I had a blast emceeing the INVEST ASEAN 2012 which had VIPs like Tony Fernandes, Dato’ Wahid and even Tengku Dato Zafrul. Big shoutout to Ariff TDI for hooking me up! Then, next day I was jamming at the NANDOS #CLUCKERS DAY OUT. Awesome experience, checkout the pics!

Azuan Zahdi: Evening Air Tour over Subang with JFK:

“‘Being an aviation fan, I never pass up on an opportunity to fly.

When I heard that the ‘hot-shot celebrity pilot’ Johan Farid Khairuddin or better known as JFK was organising night flights to earn his night flying hours, I quickly grab the opportunity to experience for the first time flying on a light plane during sunset…”

So I return to fly the airliner commercially this March, until then I guess i’m just going to fly the smaller birds to maintain my currency and clock some night hours as well. Let me know if you want to back seat by the way, i’m sure we can work something out! Here are some pics. Enjoy!

Am now checked to line! Woohoo. That means I am no longer in “training” and can fly with any other captain in the fleet BUT it also doesn’t mean that i’m anywhere near excellent, have SO MUCH more to learn and study. It just never stops! Here are some more pics, click on the pic above.

So its not a big secret that JJ & Ean the hitz.fm Morning Crew + The hitz.fm boss MOOTS pulled a prank on me yesterday. Made me scream like a school girl too! They had to use the JAKEMAN’s name and all. Thanks all for making my day, not! Ha ha. Click on the ANGRY BIRD picture about to link to the audio clip!

From emceeing the 100 years of Aviation in Malaysia to emceeing the Berjaya Air first ever poolside party in conjunction with the launch of two new routes, Pangkor & Tioman, it was a great week in the spotlight! Talk about trying to “lay low”. Anyway my flight exam is next week. Gulp! Wish me luck.
