….Accident

You never imagined this before..It was on the federal highway exit to Subang Jaya (southbound) when ther was a little crawl.As Shahir,Daus,Naim n I was driving our way to McD SS15.We saw quite a number of ppl gathered outside and watch something under the flyover.We didnt care much as we do not want to be the TYPICAL MALAYSIAN ROAD USER.We headed straight to Alliance bank to collect my Ikea Visa card before proceeding to McD.We had good lunch..burgers,fries etc.On the way back,hundreds of ppl were on the roadside to stop n see the accident.We were curious then cuz it is too crowded.We managed to park on the road shoulder from the glenmarie road, and stopped and got to capture this image..

Now that’s terrible.
A KTM commuter train was stopped and the operation put on hold.Cant imagine how the car gone all the way there!

The Haze however didnt stop the sweetheart of many guys, Dian Sastrowardoyo to come over and promote her latest movie, Ungu Violet. I didnt know she was here until my brother showed me the giant poster with her signature on it and the pictures taken from the meet-the-fan session. She’s just lovely isnt she?

Go Department of Environment website for up to date Air Pollution Index

[Haze condition at 7.46am]

RED ALERT : HAZE CURFEW
Earlier this evening we had an unexpectedly very hazy afternoon in Subang Hangar where i work.I was at the library when almost all of the technicians and engineers stopped working on the aircraft and stayed in the office.The haze was severe.We couldnt even see the aircraft parked couple of hundred metres in front of the Hangar.It was a yellowish,smokey fog.It is never this bad before.The news then came as the Air Pollution Index hit past 500 in Port Klang and Kuala Selangor.Subang however was experiencing almost 400 API.Selangor state government have announced official curfew for Kuala Selangor and Port Klang which was very heavily effected.All factory,worksites,offices,schools were instructed to close with immediate effect as the curfew announced and the duration of the curfew is to be announced later til a suitable date.

Everyone in the hangar was picking up their masks for health sake.I got mine today though,and it was one piece for each staff (These masks were initially an uncontrolled item,since some ppl like to do business in any situation, the Engineering Dept ordered the store to limit the masks distribution)

Going back from the Subang Hangar to fetch my mom at my sis’ place in Nusa Subang,i managed to snap some of the view of the haze.Of course, the pictures dont really do justice.Being there for yourself was worse than you may think.

After 5 pm Shah Alam API went to 430,succesfully become the 3rd most severe affected location after the two-curfewed-zones in Selangor.

So people do take care of yourself..take mineral water and avoid going out or doing outdoor activities.

API above 300 is considered VERY HAZARDOUS

Haze Worsen in Klang Valley.
The Haze caused by the forest fire in Sumatra gets worse today as the Air pollution index hits 410 in Port Klang.It is a severe level of index and if it goes past beyond 500,government may declare curfew.UiTM in Shah Alam anyways have declared no class til Friday.The haze is not expected to be any better in coming days.
Everybody need to put on their mask on for now,and pray..

I’m just 16 days away from my big License Without Type Rating (LWTR) examination by Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) Malaysia at Airworthiness Division,Putrajaya.
This is gona be my first attempt sitting for examination with DCA going for two papers, namely Air Legislation and Category ‘X’ Electrical.Exam day gonna be on Thursday 25th of August. Morning session is for Electrical and afternoon’s for Airleg.

I give myself a good luck wish and all the best!!!
