Airline inflight hospitality with TK.....Turkish representation

This is my first sharing on imflight airline services. For my worktrip in September 2015, I have earlier booked my flight from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Istanbul (IST) with Malaysia Airlines System Berhad (MAS) as my first choice. Nevertheless the booking was rescheduled and reassigned to a different airline as MAS is no longer fly to IST starting September 2015. This route cancelation was partly related to the new formed Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB) in 1st September 2015.

MAS has redirected my booking was Turkish Airlines (TK), the change was easy with full assistance ftom MAS. Like MAS, TK airline also has received great review by many passengers. So nothing to worry regarding the overall flight experience.

Outbound KUL-IST: Late supper with prawn, steamed rice and mixed vegetables

Outbound KUL-IST: Breakfast with scrambled egg and cheesy toast

But this is my personal comment on the overall experience with TK long-haul flight KUL-IST in economy seat, both the outbound and the inbound were midnight flights. Thus. Only late supper and breakfast meals were served.

Inbound IST-KUL: Late supper with adana kebab, saffron rice and mixed fried vegetables

Inbound IST-KUL: Breakfast with spinach cheesy pastry and scrambled egg with tomato

The TK services were tip top; the inflight hospitality was very good (but not as excellent as MH cabin crew, remember this is my personal view), the entertainment was the best, with a large touch screen 'HD' monitor and a variety of movies, games, songs to choose from, the meal quality was great in taste and portion. If you are crazy about cheeses and olives, TK will be for you obviously. The menu was clearly representing Turkish taste. As such my overall experience with TK can be represented by 4.5/5 score.

Converting Bedside Table to a Portable Wash-Stand (IKEA Hack)

What to do if a ready made furniture is not able to fit in the space that is available? Your choice will be either build a customised furniture or hacking a furniture for a different purpose. Hacking a furniture will cut almost 70% of the work required to build a customised furniture from zero. Here, I share a step-by-step process on one of my DIY weekend projects converting bedside table to portable wash-stand. What will be required for this project? Tools (e.g. saw, metal ruler, hand drill), sand paper and brushes for wood work, base furniture to be hacked, water-resistant paint and metal knob. STEP 1. Get some ideas on the design and materials by visiting several furniture galleries/shops. For example here, the idea was from an IKEA wash basin base cabinet, Lillangen. The material mainly particleboard, which might not be that suitable for Malaysian humidity and bathroom practice. For that reason, I choose solid wood material the project. The dimension of the IKEA...

Before you snap here and there, know your lens first

Oppsss! I think I should introduce the lens, camera parts and photographic terms first before going to image composition. This time, I just want to share and introduce the terms and parts of lens. It is applicable for whatever lenses especially for the DSLR camera. The different will only be the terminology or abbreviation used by the specific manufacturer. Lenses can be categorized to many types such at wide angle, standard, prime and zoom. Each type of lenses have specific features and is used for specific purpose. For example, wide angle lenses are usually used for scenery/landscape and narrow space photography. Each lens will be marked with zooming distance (look at the numbers which ended with mm; see photo bellow). This number will gives you some ideas about the width of view when a photo is captured. A number less that 35mm can be considered as wide angle, the 50 - 55mm as normal lens, and the 75 mm and above as zoom lens. Wide angle lens will highlight the perspective of an ...
