Hibiscus Papa Delta.


Malaysia Airlines (MH) is going to repaint one of its jumbo jets (registered as 9M-MPD), which is now painted with the Hibiscus livery, into the original MH livery. This simple move would actually save the airline company up to RM900,000 annually. The reason is because according to some sources, the colour red, is the heaviest colour there is and therefore, is expensive to maintain, in terms of fuel usage. The savings mentioned earlier is the savings from not having to carry that red paint. As you might already know, the original MH livery is the normal white upper body and grey lower body with two thin blue and red stripes running in between the white and grey body.



I guess the livery would have to go at one time anyway, but I was just hoping that it would go later rather than sooner. I have not even been in any of the hibiscus yet. For your information, there are two Hibiscuses – the 9M-MPD and 9M-MPB. There is also another special livery adorning MH’s Triple Seven – 9M-MRD – with a livery called Helicornia.


So, I just would like to use this opportunity to bid farewell to Hibiscus Papa Delta. You will be missed.

I Hate Him.

I read a blog of my friend today and I have to say this, "I hate you!" There, I've said it. I can't believe that he would actually wrote something like that. I mean, I've heard him saying it, but to write it in his blog is totally unacceptable - at least to me. Though part of what he wrote is true, he still has no rights whatsoever to write those things.

Bad Bee. Bad Bee.

Everyone seems to be talking about exams nowadays. Well, you can’t blame them since exam is just around the corner. Currently I am revising for Principles of Marketing and Management with a bee hovering in front of me (well, actually, I am typing this entry). Not a very conducive environment indeed, I must say. For some strange reasons I seem to attract five bees into my room this week alone. It is amazing to see how these bees can take just 2 seconds to come into my room and the whole day to get out. Why is it so difficult for them to find the window to fly out of my room remains a mystery to me. Here I am staring at the bee and keep telling it to go to the right, where the window is. Sometimes, I even wonder whether it is the same bee everyday or not. Speaking of which, (not totally related but bees do remind me of airplanes) AirAsia is going to sign a new sponsorship $5.6million deal with Manchester United (as in the football club). To be honest, I don’t really see the connection be...

Monkey Business.

Malaysian Members of the Parliament (MP) are a disgrace to the country! That is all I have to say after watching how those MPs behaving like a bunch of idiots. It is a wasted effort by Malaysians having to queue up to elect them during General Election only to see them acting like MONKEYS in the Parliament. I know it is normal for MPs to shout at each other over certain issues, but it is OK if they are shouting at each other fighting for the cause of people who voted for them. Malaysians voted for you because they want you to represent their voice in the Parliament. In the end, will the shouting benefits the people? NO, because the real issue that was debated at first was dropped at the end of the shouting as if it was a meaningless issue. It is not a surprise to see why it took the Parliament a very long time to pass a bill only to realize later that the bill has lots of overlooked loopholes. Then, the people will protest the new bill and they will have to bring it back to the Parliam...
