English Language Proficiency Test and Biryani Fiesta !!

Everybody is enjoying the own plate of biryani

 

 

More to come. More than never.

It's the egg that makes a lot of different.

After 3 handsome full plates of Biryani, champions have given up.

Wondering what are they discussing.

Is that Haji Yassin.

 

 

Hello again,

In order to conform with ICAO Language Proficiency requirements, Air Traffic Controllers and all others who use English in RT 2-way communication on international routes must be at ICAO English Language Level 4 (Operational) or above. This must be confirmed by successful completion of an assessment and  approved test.

Those who are assessed at ICAO Level 4 must be re-tested every three years. Those who fail may not be licensed to operate on their respective positions. There are few descriptors that are to be assessed. Those are pronunciation, structure, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension and interaction.

Been there and done there.

And their next stop was the 'official restaurant' of Sandakan staff. Zakaria Curry House. Yea, I say again, Zakaria Curry House.

We were all treated with such a mouthwatering chicken biryani. Is this some sort of obsession with Indian foods all of a sudden or the awakening of Indian blood in us. After all, when you patronize an outlet with more locals than foreigners, you know it's gotta be good. It was a good choice !!

Till then, cheers everyone!!

Congratulations And Best Wishes!

Congratulations to Muslijan Paskuar and his wife. DCA Sandakan wishing you marriage filled with love and joy. No more play play ha!

DCASandakan Corporate Shirt Unleashed

DCASandakan boys/girls are great in creating new ideas and concept. And this time, it's corporate shirt initiative. When the idea was mooted in early 2011, the whole department praised the design as something that was extremely elegant and stylish. Now the DCASandakan Corporate Shirt is all-set to challenge the design limits of T-Shirt by refining the color features of the ready made in the market. And from the looks of this corporate shirt, the color is set to be the most stunning T shirt that we have all seen in ages!

It comes with a neat stitched-name and logo on upper part of the pockets and department's name behind the shoulder. Attached are photos taken of the shirts. 

See ya!!

Multi-Tasking Controllers

These are snapshots taken during a rare 'carpentering' session at DCASandakan tower. DCA Manager, En Amir Hamzah Bin Haji Abbas and En Mohd Shafri Yusoff are taking it serious in repairing chair at the tower. This is what we call multi tasking and apparently it is simultaneous performance of two persons. 

BRAVO !!

Only pro can do this

Haji would love to give his hand

Chair is about ready to be used.

Another few knocks, the chair is finally ready to be sat on

Lunch with Air Traffic Inspectorarte Officers

Venue : Zakaria Curry House, Sandakan
Time : 1 pm
Menu : Chicken Biryani
Satisfaction Level : Full to maximum
Calory content : Hold on, I shall consult this with dietitian.

Hello again, Air Traffic Inspectorate Officers and Sandakan Air Traffic Controllers headed again to 'official restaurant' in Bandar Labuk. I guess, most of the times, in every occasion, Zakaria Curry House is the top choice. The foods are relatively goods, fresh and hot. The biryani is the signature dish of the restaurant and the papadom is such a great crisp. Attached are photos taken during the lunch. 

ENJOY !!

Condolence to DCASandakan Manager

En. Amir Hamzah Bin Haji Abbas, 

We are all taken aback to see the untimely demise of your beloved mother-in-law. We share our deepest sympathy and grief on this moment. May God bless her in heaven and peace forever. Convey our regard to one and all in the family.

Al Fatihah

  

 

Congratulations to Mr Sam and family

Ten tiny fingers that always want to play,

That never stop exploring the wonder of the day,

Ten little fingers that from the very start,

Will reach out for tomorrow, yet, always hold your heart"

Mr Sam,

Bringing a newborn baby into the world is an exciting period of time for the family and friends. Newborn can feel all the different sensation and may he feels the sensation of loves from his parents. Newborn could hear the internal sounds and may he hears the internal heart beat of his mother that would nurture him the best. Newborns can respond to different tastes and may he tastes the wonderful smell of heaven under her mothers' feet.

For the record, this baby has been blessed with a beautiful name which is  Noor Hariz Izzudin Bin Shamsudin Noor and this cutie was born on 19.01.2011 at time 12:30 noon. This is the 3rd child of Mr Sam and he's gonna be the 2nd hero of the family after his elder brother.

Attached are photos taken during a visit to Mr Sam's house.
