My place to stay now is Crew Residence here in Pengkalan Chepa for 2 years from now. This is like a home for cadet/student pilot of Asia Pacific Flight Training (APFT). I came here last Sunday for the registration. I'm tired waiting to pursue piloting course. I waited for about almost a year because I undergone Lasik operation to meet the requirement to become a pilot since my spectacle degree is so high.
My new life begins here. Why? Because I want to change myself to become a better person. A pilot cannot be lazy and timid. So, I want to become a pilot who is hardworking, confident and always prepared.
So, why you want to become a pilot? This is the question being asked over and over again.
For me, there's a lot to be told. But I will tell you two reason. First, I want to become the pioneer in my family that pursue piloting. Second, I want to prove to my family that I want to become a successful person. I want to do whatever it takes to obtain the pilot wings.
It's not easy to pursue piloting now. The fees is so expensive and the course is only 20 months which have to cover a lot of subjects and also flying phase. My parents have to go to the bank to apply for loan. I only got the RM100k and every month cut RM2k from my father's salary. You see? Some of my friends here are lucky to get Yayasan Terengganu Sponsorship. I have to study very hard and graduate so that my parents sacrifice will paid off. Before this, I felt so bad about their paying for this expensive course because my family isn't exactly rich. Just so-so. For my batch, we got RM15k discount for the fees.

I can say that the learning atmosphere is conducive. The instructors here are all friendly and teach us well. I can understand about what I'm learning. The seniors here welcomed us and will help us if one of us have a problem.
Here at APFT, it's all about TEAMWORK. One person of the batch did something wrong, one batch will be punished. We must help each others. DISCIPLINE is being taught here to all cadets. No exemption. Every Sunday and Thursday, there will be marching parade outside the ground school.
APFT is recognized as IPTS or Private Higher Education Institution because all cadets here will hold a Diploma in Aviation after graduate as it is included. The only one here in Malaysia. No place else. So, this is a bonus for us.
That's all for the time being. Will update later on this.
