Today, I'm happy, not sure why... At night, after the 1st badminton game, I felt an unusual lack of energy.
Haan: Uncle, do you have any food in your car?
KTLim: No... you are hungry? Let me find...
(Thought anything positive would be impossible, hesitated if I should leave earlier.)
KTLim: Come. I've found you something.
(I ended up eating the biscuits of the lady in charge of the badminton court.)
Thank you Uncle Lim, and the lady... Sometimes I could really be so "amazingly" unbelievable!!
How well do you know about the in-flight magazines of the different airlines?
Malaysia Airline has "Going Places". Meanwhile, the budget airline, Air Asia, produces "Travel3Sixty".
Travel3Sixty? I reckon that means travel all over the world, coz 360 degrees draw a circle.
I read it for the first time during my trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand.
I've been expecting the arrival of the latest issue of Travel3Sixty since late last week, when the person-in-charge asked for my address.
I finally got it today!
In February, I wrote a post titled "Visit to AirAsia Cockpit", which have attracted quite a number of unknown visitors, as well as their comments (inclusive of one from the captain). It's now being published in Travel3Sixty.
Due to page limitation, I summarized the article before sending over. Two photos were provided for their selection, and they chose only one.
The lady, Ms Ng, whom I dealt with (via email only) is quite nice and efficient. It was a good experience for me, at least. After she confirmed the publication of my article, I was sent a Writer Release Form for signature. After I signed, I faxed her the form.
Everything was settled in early March, and the article is out in the April issue.
Honestly, this is not the first time I have my article published in magazine. I can just say, this is the most satisfactory one, in terms of editing, desktop publishing, post-publication handling etc (I have high requirements on others as well).
My original article has been slightly edited, and I'm very glad with the outcome. It has been long that no one edited what I write (the work-related docs are edited in terms of content, not really the sentences/structure). That's why I'm delighted!
I do like others correct me so I can learn more.
Nonetheless, they could edit my words to make them more beautiful. They could not do anything to make my photo becomes more beautiful. Haha!!
No worries. I never lose confidence due to my not pretty face.
Lesson learned: If you want something, be bold enough to ask for it! This is the conclusion they drew for me, as stated on the page :)
This applies to the visit to cockpit, the publication of article, as well as the biscuits I had today near the badminton court.

The letter I wrote to the Captain. In actual, I used a much lousier paper, which was a tear-off from a piece of A4 paper.

Well done haan,
So next time you travel on AirAsia, many people will recognise you :)
i dont have truly striking appearance... hard to be recognized.. or even remembered :)
except my dark complexion
say truth, i enjoy reading 360. interesting magazine to read on plane. it is enough for me to read in 2 hours flight.
surprising me when first time read it on plane.
Never fly on Air Asia before. I think SQ got Kris Flyer or something like that.
agree with coolku. that mag is quite nice.
yes simon. SQ has Krisflyer..
hey congratulations :) nice to see yr work in print rite? :) i had a bit of mine in a few mags here - small time one tho. but the feeling is just awesome hehe :)
this is how i earn my little pocket money since primary school... but still can't get very rich till now...
Can I know the payout rate?
Happy to read this post ^_^
i'm yet to receive the "gift" they mentioned. update you later, ok?
Congratulations Haan :) We've seen your article published in the on-flight magazine when we were on our trip to Miri. Unfortunately, the magazine cover was gone. Someone has been messing up with the magazine. And it was like a "salted vegetable" (as in the Chinese speaking). :P But don't worry, your article was still in a good condition. :)
You did a great job and hope to see your writings again on our next flight on AirAsia.
Hi Siew Peng, you are the 3rd friend telling me you read the magazine while taking AA flight :) thanks for your encouragement. it's really helpful for me to continue writing and pursue my "dreams" at this "lack of motivation" period. really appreciate your words.
Hi Haan,
Stumble your blog through google while searching for travel3sixty info. I see that you travel alot and write fantastic blog bout travelling. Perhaps we could work out something together here, as you can see, we are doing travel guides here. =) Hope to hear from you soon. You can get to me thru ahnge2003[@]yahoo[dot]co[dot]uk
Peter
