Malaysian and Singaporean! Continue... 13 September 2014 After Rafiz done showing us the aircraft from the aircraft parking bay, and well - Sam, non-stop taking pictures, here and there, stood in front of aircraft, Rafiz once again " Good one, one more... Another more!... " he took up to 3 snapshot I guess! After that, we went back to the club, before that, exchanged my identity card back, the officer asked me in Malay, " Hari ini cepat!? " ( means today so fast on flying?) , I replied him that we just have a exploring! Returned to club, William, Roger, Aunty and Daniel were there, they have a major jokes with Rafiz on the Mercedes ! Sam decided to take a move as well as Rafiz, thanks to Rafiz for the ride back to Singapore! Hoop into his car, he told me he needed his stomach to be filled up with food, decided went to an Indian shop which he often visit - considered as regular customer! So, in my opinion, guess he was an Indian! Along the journey to India restaurant, have a little chit chat, he shared with me his flying experience, his flying student who have been made him so pissed off up to 3-4 times on sabotage him for no turning up the flying training and one of his student aged 50, who have minor conflict due to wasn't well plan on the flying plan! Till now, the member keeps on nagging how Rafiz treated to him while other members training was conducted! = Well-displinced Rafiz told me, " flying is fun! When comes to learning, must put more effort on it! No point I taught you for nothing, at last, I'm the one who suffer, I'm your instructor, I sign and approve you can be solo, what if accident happened? I'm the one who needs to answer! " Is truth, so can be seem that he is a strict, Well-displinced and full of responsibility flying instructor! " What are you working as?" " I'm in flight operation " " Stress? " " Stress? What do mean of stress? ... " " Emmm... The workload of stress... All sort... " " Anywhere we worked, there is a stress, just see how we solve and settle them... " " yea, you are right... " We reached the Indian restaurant after a few of turning and journey! No many customers, he greeted with every of the Indian staff, and ordered the food, seem like he likes to eat Nasi Beriyani with many of papamda! ... The staff told him the papamda he served not crunchy enough, but he didn't care much by giving a simple smile to the staff, he continued his meal! We chatted again, talked about his wife, family and some business opening related, what I know that his wife was a flight attendant - Malaysian! Which airline, got no idea, I didn't ask much, he ate kinda rush, to me I guess he wanna avoid the traffic jam of the both country custom! He paid the bill, get set and leave the place! Ready to head home, that's about 0210pm! " Do you see the mountain there? That's our training spot for landing! You will know once you are in flying training! " " Is the only mountain there? " I looked around, to check any other mountain, but none just one which he mention! His daughter called up, he said that he will be back by 0500pm, "5pm? Seriously?" in my thought really need to take so long to reach Singapore? " Sorry, excuse me! " He got himself his pilot style sunglass, and wore it! We went to Petrol station before headed to custom, " You want to come out or stay in the car? " " I stay in the car! " He switched off his car engine, refueling and purchased two bottles 100 plus, " thanks! " " don't worry, I used to buy drink on my way home after joining them in the club! " Chatting along, reached Malaysia custom at about 0230 pm, that was a fast one, few minutes, we passed through the custom! " C'mon, this is shit! So this is the efficiency? " He complaint the traffic jam of Singapore custom - so heavily! He kept himself hydrating by drinking 100 plus! " So you stay alone in Singapore? " " With my mom, brother and sister... " We have a little conversation on my family background, and so I found out what is the flight operation really mean in what does he works as..... " So which terminal you are working at? " " Airfreight? Terminal 5 " " Terminal 5? Never heard that before? Airline house you mean? " " Airline house is right opposite terminal 5!.... so you are in flight operation... As a ground staff or admin office? " " No, I'm not a ground staff nor admin.... " He soft down his voice, make me feel that his humbleness! " You are a pilot? SQ pilot? " " Yes,... " We both quiet a moment,and I turned my head on the other side faced the window by looking all the vehicles passing through us one by one, in my thought, surprised me... " Shit, SQ pilot as my flying instructor, and how I handle the rubbish cargo on my duty, makes me feel a little of guilty and sorry... " He made a phone call to his family and later one of his colleague named Gerald ( I glanced and found out that), he wished his colleague a happy birthday, a little chat about Ukraine airspace... Overheard he said that next week got a long duty, to Houston via Russia... " Is SQ62, 0230am flight! " occurred on my mind! I'm quiet about minutes after he phoned down " This is bull shit! How can all the car cut queue? How I wish they get penalty by the police force! " " Are we far from the custom? " He unlocked his iPhone and check the traffic situation from the GPS, " We are right about there!" A long way to go, I know that he kinda keep his career background confidential, so I tried not to ask much about what he did, what he faced and so... He complaint again, " Why the car moved again? shall I change my lane? " " I guess we stand still with this lane " At last, he decided to change lane... " This driver is a gentleman! " And he managed to cut into other lane, " Singapore is an efficiency country, so this is the efficiency? " " Slowly, we are reaching soon! Singapore is a good country! " " Good country? How long have you been in Singapore? " " 6 years... " " Stay longer, another 10 years, you will see how good it is! " " Well, I mean good is like the place and safety! " " Don't you think Malaysia is a good place? you have your own house, good environment, and your car! " " Malaysia? Please, is not safe... Robbing everywhere! " " Huh, Do you know Singapore has such case of robbing crime... " " No, not many... " " Who said that? I was a police force last time... .... ... " We both started a hot topic of the two countries good and bad, agree and disagree, over one another by another, I don't know why he so agreed and love to stay in Malaysia? Until I found out... " If you have a chance to become a Singaporean or PR? " " PR " " Why? " his voice so tumble and hard " PR, is good enough! As I was born in Malaysia, that still my country! " " BUT WHY? Not as a Singaporean? Since you said Singapore is SO GOOD? " " Good doesn't mean wanna become as a citizen! I mean the place is good to live! " " Malaysia has a good place too! " " Why not you become a citizen of Malaysia? " " I want to, I applied before and rejected! Don't know why... I'm so sick in this kind of life here, building, lack of nature... " I soft down my voice," Didn't Singapore has a safe place to live? I mean less crime... " We both quiet and he started again... " You know Horizontal Hills in JB? " " No, I don't know that... " " You know how many Singaporean buy and own a house there, they just travel to Singapore to work to save the money, they stay there, have their own land, can do planting, relax and drink Tea in the evening... " " But they are wasting their time? I don't think they can save! " " ok, if a Singaporean earn about 2k, his travel here and there, Singapore toll with Malaysia toll... One day about 12 dollar, average per month around 350 dollar, give him 500 dollar!" " 500 dollar? " " some other expenses... " I cut his conversation, " What about fuel? " " wait wait wait, I not yet finished! Where he stayed? Malaysia right? he can refuel his car in Malaysia, and he save!..." " ok.... " " and another 500 dollar for other expenses like bills, some others expenses... Balance how much? " " 1k " " 1k convert into ringgit, how much? Not enough to save? " " more than enough! And that's what William did that! " " that's right! " He flicked his finger and hit his palm on the steering! He gave a lot of examples, and keep on asking why, why, why.... I feel like I'm having an interview practicing more than a conversation! Little joking on the certis cisco security officer checking, " this cute! " " pimples bro! " " Ah! This is good.... " " oh C'mon... " He opened his door, and said " chubby! "... He told me to observe what are they doing, and get this as another topic to talk about ... But our conversation of Malaysia and Singapore not yet ended... Of course, we exited the custom at the time of 0345pm,... " You don't drink your 100 plus? " " Yea, but just worry later in the custom need to find a toilet, troublesome... " " mine is big, can fill alot... " " ok.. " He started again, this time round military, followed by air force, and so education of Singapore, about why balloting, and last employment... " You are talking about employment now? " " yea, employment! Do you know how many percentage of Singaporean flight crews in SQ?" " I guess a lot, SQ meant for Singapore, of course the vacancies go for Singaporean! " " No, you are wrong, what I find out, don't know is it right or wrong now, what I know only 40 percentage are Singaporean! You know what is the most? Malaysia flight crews! " " C'mon, I'm a Malaysian, that's kinda hurt to hear that, I'm a foreigner! " " No, I'm just asking why Singapore will give such opportunity to foreigners but not their own citizen, major cadet graduated from flight school can't get their job and all goes to foreigner! Did you read a news about..... " He changed his lane from 1 to lane 2 to lane 3, in a slow and steady speed.... Of course our conversation still hot enough, I disagree what he said and just pointed out,.... " You know how Malaysia government did? most of the universities all go for Muslim, first priority! Everything, all Muslim go for number one! " " Oh wait! Do you know how Singapore government did? " " Don't tell me, they did the same? No way.... Singapore is a multi-racial country, they fair enough! " " Who tells you that? " " By the way, are you a Malay? " " Yes, I'm! " AND SO I KNOW HE IS MALAY! that's why he loves to stay in Malaysia, having India food just a meal doesn't mean he is an Indian... And he didn't sound so India voice.... " Oh God, my flying exam will fail on your hand! " " Please, I won't do that! " Chatting all the way still, guess we are discussing or can be said we are competitive each other for the right opinion! I knew he might be jealous and always wanted to be as a Malaysian, he showed me his passport that how sincerity for keep on applying visa to visit Malaysia! " That's life! I have been in Malaysia up to 19 years, and you have been in Singapore for 44 years.... We know our country so well.. Just a living! " " yea, Singapore is safe, I agree with you...." He dropped me at yio chu Kang train station, " What's our conversation just now, hope doesn't offend you! " " No... No offend at all, nice talking to you!" " Me too!" We both shake hand and wave for a goodbye! I sat down in the train, exhaled a deep breath... That's life, what can we do? May God bless me and him! Fly safe on his duty and look forward on his flying teaching lesson! |
