Shalom 2015! 新年快乐！
Greetings on this very first day of 2015!
I'm supposed to write about new year resolution but I think I should add on the past events of 2014 before heading to the resolutions.
嗨！新年快乐~
让我们好好回想去年的重大事件，再来说说今年我的愿望吧。
Global issues in 2014 国际事件
1. The aviation disaster has swirled the public and left the hearts shattered.
8th March - The Malaysia Airlines MH370 departed from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing had disappeared over the gulf of Thailand after their signal lost with the air traffic control. No single debris was found to date, all sorts of assumptions were made. It was presumed that the plane carrying 239 aboard had crashed into the Indian Ocean.
相信大家都知道去年多宗飞机事件吧。马航MH370无故失踪，到今天还是音讯全无。239人下落不明。真的很伤心，希望有一天可以找到整架飞机和乘客。
17th July - Another sudden & shocking news about Malaysia Airlines occurred. MH17, unfortunately shot down by plane missiles was marked as the deadliest incident in Ukraine. Some blamed the pro-Russians, some pointed the fingers to the Ukranians while no one knew what was the real truth causing 298 fatalities.
再说说，大家都难以置信，第二宗意外在短短几个月内又发生了。马航MH17从阿姆斯特丹飞往吉隆坡被武装份子炸毁了。全数298人罹难。到底谁是凶手，无人知。。。
28th Dec - Nobody expected a consecutive tragedy of air disaster happened in merely a year. Fatally, Air Asia QZ 8501 flying from Surabaya to Singapore had vanished into the Java Sea after connection lost with the air traffic control. The most likely cause should be extremely poor weather. With dismal, the wreckage and bodies were found 2 days later. The entire aircraft carried 162 people including 7 crew members.
最近又一震惊的新闻。亚航QZ 8501失去联线，沉入在印尼海域。目前已有飞机碎片和尸体获寻。大家相信是恶劣天气造成这悲剧。
2. The epidemic of Ebola virus - nightmare of West African.
Everyone is worried that Ebola might be an pandemic issue. In fact, yes it can definitely be spread worldwide but with the proper isolation and treatment, the prognosis will be better. So far, the population affected is around 20 thousands people with almost 8000 deaths.
Ebola 病毒造成全世界的恐慌因为目前已经有八千死亡案例。所以，如果有不适，就一定要就医，才能避免情况恶化。

3. Terrorist attack
Totally upset to see so many people being murdered. Where is the world peace, folks? We are born equal, we are all human beings. Why do we kill each other for the fame? Greed? Power? Or whatsoever...
恐怖袭击，真的很恐怖。我记得我小时候，根本都很少这类新闻出现。（除了911恐怖袭击) 怎么现在人会变得那么没人性？究竟是为什么？本是同根生，相煎何太急。大家都是人类，何不好好相处？是什么改变了人的性本善呢？权利？贪婪？还是。。。
My personal event in 2014 个人事件
1. I have finally graduated as a dentist in September. 5 years of hard work with less than 5 hours sleep per day ain't easy but I'm glad I managed it well and did not disappoint my mama. Thus, I would consider this as my greatest achievement in 2014. ^_^
说完了国际事件，说说我自己吧。我终于念完5年的大学啦。现在是有牌的牙医啦。哈哈。我很庆幸没让我的妈妈失望，谢谢你。
2. Life always goes up and down, ain't a bed of roses after all. There was this period, I was lost. No motivation, inspiration, nothing. I was on the verge of falling off the cliff. (I guess I was way too stressed to sit for my exams) So, my mentor appeared and showed me the bright way again. Thank you so much for the advice & great care.
其实每个人都有自己的不开心时刻。某段时间，我真的差点崩溃了，（考试压力到顶了）那时我问自己，你的选择对吗？幸好，有位长辈点醒了我，我才又找回我自己的目标。真的很谢谢你。
My wishes & goals in 2015 未来愿望
1. Would beg for a peaceful world. PEACE! 世界和平！
2. Everyone to be safe and sound, healthy and happy. (No war, no natural disaster etc etc) 大家身体健康，开开心心。
3. The last one would be every girl's dream. Eat all you can without gaining weight! xD 最后当然是我的减肥计划。（每年都一样但结果还是没变。。哈）
Now, tell me what are your 2015 visions!
那你的未来计划呢？

ReplyDeleteHi, me again. Couldn't resist to make a comment here when you wrote about aviation disaster, to tell a story.
MH370 incident happened about 3 weeks after I got my first job offer in aviation industry. I went ahead into the industry nonetheless since I'm from aerospace background, it is my dream.
I got another job offer from the our national carrier soon after that, and 2 weeks after I accepted their job offer, there came MH17 and it was devastating for the whole nation. I chose to join the ill-fated airline despite of all the spotlights shone on the company.
The reason why I share the above stories, and why I made all those decisions, is all just about to make a point - flying is still the safest mode of travel. In contrary to the public's perception, 2014 is the safest year ever in recorded commercial aviation history since 1921 in terms of number of fatal incidents (source: http://news.aviation-safety.net/2015/01/01/despite-high-profile-accidents-2014-was-the-safest-year-ever-according-to-asn-data/)
The fear of travel by air is because of all the high profile air incidents in our country, the uprise of social media, and the thought of "the grass is always greener on the other side" in our fellow countrymen.
We have a very good track record since the very beginning, even the foreigners choose to fly with us because of our hospitality. Be confident in our national carrier, have faith in aviation industry. #keepflying
*sorry for the long-winded intrusion to your blog*
Hi Cress!! Do you know that your 'long-winded intrusion' has fallen into my spam folder? LOL That's why I didn't realize about it until I checked my comment list today. lol..
DeleteWow, I didn't know you are in aerospace industry. My mind goes 'wow, you must be extremely good in physics & maths. Well, thanks for clarifying that 2014 being the safest year of all. I've read something about it before but I think the public are still afraid of taking flights. Perhaps the time will heal everything and I believe all the airlines are working their very best to upgrade the service to provide the safest flights.
I used to fly a lot when I studied abroad, and honestly to me, our national flights are way better than others (specifically Indian airlines) Not to condemn about them, but in comparison, I felt safer travelling in our own airlines.
Hopefully 2015 will be a better year to everyone!
#keepflying too!
Uh oh... I'll make it short this time :P
ReplyDeleteNah... that's what everyone think about aerospace guys. We are not rocket scientist nor theoretical physicist. Some people in this industry doesn't even have a proper degree, and some even fail their science papers in high school, but nonetheless, most of them here are people with lots of technical knowledge gathered through years of experience. Although I hold a lot of passions in science and maths, but my say in this industry is that experience is worth more than book studies. Omg... I sound so old...
Anyway, am so glad to meet more Malaysians who choose to fly with our national carrier and be proud of it. It is always the MalaysianHospitality that keeps flyers safe and happy (and of course the nasi lemak and the satays and all the snacks!)
