Dr. says Welcome to the 5th issue of our APDI (Aviation Personnel Development
Institute) magazine from Kasem Bundit University. We are pleased to
announce our readiness for the implementation of standards for the AEC
(Asian Economic Community) for 2015. The number of international students
joining us from abroad continues to increase and we look forward to
welcoming more from many countries and continents in the coming semesters.
I am confident in our team of lecturers who are specialists in their own
academic fields of expertise that they are able to bring their knowledge and
experience in order to continually develop students’ knowledge, wisdom and
understanding and hone their skills for their chosen career path.
APDI is very proactive in serving the aviation community with seminars, training and skills development. The
institute’s new training centre houses an aeroplane for actual in-flight service training as we continue to pioneer
and set the standards for the aviation industry academically including; mock-up rooms designed specifically to give
realistic hands on training for boarding, checking-in procedures, ticketing and reservations and so on to ensure
students receive the best education and training possible.
As an institute, APDI is looking forward to future cooperative initiatives with other institutes, universities and
different airlines who share the same field of interest and who also have the passion for developing personnel and
fulfilling the needs of the aviation industry.

TOEIC TIPS by Aj. Jirajittra Higgins
What is TOEIC? TOEIC stands for Test of English for International Communication. It is divided into two main sections: Listening and Reading. The listening section tests the ability to understand spoken English. While the reading section tests the knowledge of grammar and vocabulary and the ability to read and understand short passages.
There are a total of 200 questions on the TOEIC test and the test lasts about two hours. All the items are multiple choice questions with three or four possible answers.
Keys to Higher TOEIC Scores
Key 1: Know the Direction
Each part of the TOEIC test has its own
directions. Knowing what they are before you take the
exam will help you manage your time.
Page 16
Key 2: Read each Question
Carefully
Before looking at the answer choices,
read the question closely to know what you
are being asked. Incorrect answer choices are
often designed to trap you if you misread the
question. If you do not understand a question,
reread it slowly.
Key 3: Predict the Answer
After you are clear on what you are
required to do, try to predict the answer in your
own words before looking at the answer
choices.
Key 4: Evaluate the Answer
Choices
After you have predicted the answer in
your own words, check to see if your answer is
among the choices. If the choices do not match
your predicted answer exactly, select the
choice that best matches.
Key 5: Eliminate Wrong
Answer Choices
If the answer you have predicted is
not among the answer choices, eliminate any
answer choices that you know are wrong and
choose the best answer from the remaining
choices. If you can eliminate even one wrong
choice, you will increase your chances of
guessing the correct answer.
Key 6: Answer Easy Question First
Generally, the TOEIC test is organized from
easy to difficult.
Key 7: Answer Every Question
Do not leave any questions unanswered.
There is no scoring penalty for an incorrect
answer on the TOEIC exam.
Key 8: Manage your Time
The TOEIC exam is a timed test; you
are given 45 minutes to complete the
Listening Comprehension Section and 75
minutes to complete the Reading
Comprehension Section.
Key 9: Check your Answer Sheet for Mistakes
or Unanswered Questions
If you finish the test before time is called, check your answer sheet to make
sure you have filled in each oval completely and that there are no extra marks on it.
Be sure you have filled in only one answer choice for each question.

Thai Food Recipe By: Sonny Samonpal
Phad Thai without a doubt is one of the
most favorite dishes of mine. Notwithstanding its
popularity, Phad Thai cooking is quite interesting
to none Thais. In my opinion, the key to create
nice Phad Thai is to prepare all the ingredients
and set them up in easy fashion before starting to
cook. Make certain that you find the finest
ingredients for your Phad Thai.

History: A dish of stirred fried rice noodles brought to Ayutthaya city by Vietnamese traders. Prime Minster of
Thailand Luang Phiboonsongkram made the dish popular during the late 1930s and 1940s by naming Phad Thai as part
of his political campaign to promote Thai Nationalism while aiming to cut down the domestic rice consumption and
encourage Thai nationals to make and sell rice noodles from street vendors and in restaurants. Phad Thai has since
become one of Thailand’s national dishes and has become popular world over.

Nitiwat Kapinlakarn is a student at
KBU (Kasem Bundit University) and
has managed to achieve and maintain
a GPA grade 4 average as well as be
involved in various projects and
activities at university.
Tell me about yourself.
My name is Nitiwat Kapinlakarn,
but my friends and family call me
“P.” I am studying in APDI’s
International program. I was born in
Bangkok, Thailand but moved to
Chicago, Illinois when I was about
six or seven years old. I pretty much
got all my education there and
Oakton Community College (OCC)
was the last school I attended before I
left the States. While I was on my
second semester at OCC, my parents suggested continuing my studies here
in Thailand. I saw it as an opportunity to travel and experience new things
so I went along with it. So now here I am, halfway through obtaining my
Bachelor’s degree here at KBU.
Do you have any interest or hobbies?
I recently fell in love with photography and cinematography and it has
been my passion ever since. I do it mostly as a hobby but I hope someday I
can turn it into a career. My friends recently helped me set up a Facebook
page for my photography, kind of like a gallery where I’ll post my newest
photos and behind the scene shots. Definitely worth checking out;
www.facebook.com/nitiwatphotography. Even with all the projects and
assignments, my friends and I are always trying to find new ideas or con-
cepts for our photo shoots or
films. Aside from that, I
don’t do much other than
what the typical college kids
do like listening to music;
hanging out with friends,
photo shoots here and there,
and of course always eating.
Are you involved in any
projects or activities right
now?
Yes I am. I’m currently working on a huge project for my IEB class.
The goal of this project is to set up a company and sell a product. However,
the product we are selling isn’t something that’s tangible…we are selling
our intellect. I was given the position of Project Manager which comes with
a lot of responsibilities but also a great opportunity to apply theory and
experience hands on what it is like to set up and manage. This is probably
the largest project I have ever done because this company we are setting up
includes a sales team, marketing team, creativity team, and even an audio
and technical team. It’s the whole nine yards really. By the end of this
project, we hope to have been able to contact a multi-national company and
produce a professional viral video for their product or services.
HALL O Anything else?
Another big project I’m working on is this magazine you’re
currently reading. I was asked to photograph some of the photos
in this magazine which really meant a lot to me because this
would be the first time my work has been published. So thank you
to everyone who was a part of this project and especially to all the
wonderful models.
How do you maintain a GPA of 4.00?
Well, this is probably going to be a very cliché answer but it is
honestly the truth. I get this question a lot so I’ve learned to come
up with a solid response. I didn’t always get good grades my
whole life. In high school, I had grades ranging from one or two
F’s to a couple A’s and everything in between. I was twice as lazy
back then as I am now. Anyways, I quickly learned the secret to
getting good grades that is so sought after by many. Go to class,
pay attention, and complete your assignments. People always say
“yeah yeah yeah I do all that but I’m still not getting A’s.” That’s
because these are just the fundamental steps. It’s all the little
things you do that contribute to that A.
When doing assignments, don’t just do it to complete them.
Do it so you understand the material you’re learning and whatever
you do don’t copy from your friends. Sure you’ll have something
to turn in, but you’re not learning anything and when it comes to
testing, there’ll be no one to copy off and your grade will reflect
that. I always see everyone trying to cram a semester’s worth of
knowledge in one night right before their finals. Nobody can do
that. You need to manage your time wisely, for example try
spreading out studying for an exam two or three nights before the
exam. Time management is probably the most important skill
college students need to learn. Master time management and
everything will become less stressful and your grades will also
reflect that.
Who or what are your inspirations?
I think my biggest inspiration are probably my parents. My
parents have done so much and sacrificed so much for me so
making them proud and trying my best is something I can at least
do for them. My friends and family are also a huge inspiration to
me. They’re always pushing me to do my best and I think they’re
one of the reasons why I was able to maintain my GPA. Surround
yourself with good people and you’ll find all the inspiration you
will ever need.

Nitiwat
Tell me about yourself please.
My name is Rajina and my family name is Pradhanang. My religion is Hindu. I am from Kathmandu which is the capital city of Nepal.
Nepal is located between China and India. My nickname is Raina, only my family and close friends call me Raina. I am a very cheerful and
optimistic person. I did my schooling at Gyanodaya Bal Batika Higher Secondary School in Kathmandu which is an English medium school. I
studied in English for more than 15 years and it is my second language. It has just been just over a year since I came here to Thailand as a
student and my life has changed a lot more than I expected and is the first country for me to visit outside Nepal.
I was a good student when I was in school and the education in my country is quite similar with India in that it is theory based. This is
different to Thailand which is more practical then in my country but in comparison to my country not that difficult. I am very grateful to my
teachers for everything because I believe that the way I present myself anywhere is just because of their help and support. They taught me well
enough that made me feel like I can present myself and survive anywhere I go.
How did you come to be studying in Thailand?
My life was pretty good when I was back in Nepal. I was looking
for something extra to study so I did not join any normal BBA class for my
bachelors so I waited for my results. After getting my results, I was planning
to go to States for my bachelors but I guess it was my destiny to come here to
Thailand as I was looking for something different when I got to know about
this university and aviation management. It was really something new for me
as universities in Nepal do not have aviation management. It was quite
catchy for me so I thought of studying here. Before joining this university I
did not have any idea regarding what this course was all about. I joined this
university on 2nd semester on 2012 of 2nd international year of aviation. I
happened to be the 1st Nepali student in this university and not just in the
aviation faculty which was something new for me.
How did you survive being away from home for the first time?
It was difficult for me at the beginning as it was my 1st time away from home. Life was totally opposite of what I had imagined when I
was planning to come here. I had a problem trying to communicate with people here at first and was not easy for me to cope with this new
environment and the hot climate here. However, I have managed to survive and now I’m doing good and I like it here and have loads of friends
now. I focus on my studies as that was my only reason to come here and that helped me to get 4GPA for last 2 semesters as I have studied 2
semesters till now in KBU. I am hoping for many things and trying my level best to keep things simple and easy but effective at the same time
after I complete my graduation. I want to graduate with good results and would love to work here in Bangkok. I will be seeking for more
opportunities in future.
How about the people and culture?
I found people here very helpful and I like the culture as it is not that
different from my country but it isn’t the same as well. I got help and support from
the teachers here in KBU which was very kind of them and helpful for me. I met new
friends from different countries that was a new experience. I gained a lot staying here.
I feel like I did the right thing coming here in Thailand.
I am hoping to get more from here; I want to know more about Thai culture,
places around here and many other things. Coming here just for studies and going
back will be in vain if I don’t do anything extra. I’m far away from home as I miss
my family & friends it makes me sad sometimes and things harder for me as it is
not easy to stay away from home when you are very close to them. But I would sug-
gest that every individual should experience this amazing journey of life as a student
surviving alone in an unknown country. It builds up your confidence level, makes
you a better person and gains much knowledge then you can ever imagine. Life is good if we keep it simple. New experiences make our lives
more interesting and beautiful.

Rajina F FAME By: Dr. Kenneth Higgins
The accepted view of scientists today is that
man evolved from Africa, for the simple reason that there are
monkeys there, as science holds the empirical view of
evolution. Interestingly, historians and even linguistic experts
agree that civilization started in Mesopotamia. For example,
the scientific opinion is that that the pyramids were built by
Africans when in fact science has proved with DNA, that the
pyramids were built by what we call Europeans today and even
King Tutankhamen’s DNA is related to Europeans and not
Africans.
Another scientific view is that there was an ice age,
although this does not really explain why creatures who
roamed warm pastures were suddenly frozen in an instant of
time while eating vegetation that exists in hot climates and not
the Siberian cold that is experienced now. In fact all ancient
civilizations and cultures have a story of a flood and not
evolution and one wonders why science takes such a radical
view especially in light of the fact they have found the remains
of a boat the size of Noah’s Ark exactly where the bible said it
landed after the floods subsided. 1500 years ago scientists
believed that the earth was flat and 500 years ago Science
taught that earth was the centre of the universe. The fact is that
evolution is mathematically impossible and takes more faith to
believe in the logic of science than anything supernatural and
maybe in years come, people will laugh at the theory of
evolution the same way they mock the flat earth theory.
What is interesting is that if we look at world history
from the perspective of what is recorded, and ignore the
scientific currently held view, we can see some very logical
explanations about how three different races spread across the
globe. According to the story of the flood, three sons left the
boat that landed on Mount Ararat and spread east, south and
west. Interestingly one son’s name actually means dark
skinned which would do more to explain why Africans have
darker skin than other continents. People think it is because
Africa is hot when in reality the Middle East can be a lot hotter
and yet there skin is not dark as in Africans.
From Science
to London by Dr. Kenneth Higgins
One son headed east and we can see the
influence of Chinese culture in most Eastern countries
today except where communism fanatically attempted to
destroy anything spiritual. The third son headed west and
is controversially known today as the Aryan race. At the
time of the Second World War, Hitler tried to develop the
Aryans as a superior European race. In fact we can again
see evidence that the Aryan race started in the Middle
East because a fact that scientists are unable to explain
because it does not fit in with their preconceived view, is
why in countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, etc. There
are blonde haired blue eyed people which give more
evidence where the European race came from than trying
to find the illusive missing link to justify an erroneous
empirical view of Africa.
This race spread out and eventually reached the
shores of what is today called Britain. The North
Americas were originally settled by the Asia /Europeans
coming across from places like Eastern Russia. As a
country, Britain can be a miserable place, with miserable
weather and yet when we look beneath the surface we see
some fascinating things.
Britain is made up of four countries namely,
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Wales has more
castles per square kilometer than any other country on
earth. One might be forgiven in thinking it has more rain
in Wales than any other country if you have ever traveled
there on holiday.
Page 30
Ireland is a land of magic and fairies. The fairies are
not the friendly type depicted in books but rather demons that
are feared and respected and in certain places that the Irish
believe they exist, and there are many, and so respected and
avoided by the Irish. Interestingly the pioneer of the study of
the human psyche, Sigmund Freud, made a very controversial
statement when he said it is impossible to psychoanalyze the
Irish. Unless one has engaged in a debate with an Irish person
one cannot appreciate what Freud meant. There are many
mysteries in Ireland and the oldest burial tomb is located in
Ireland predating the pyramids by many centuries and also the
oldest timepiece, a sundial, which predates the oldest one
thought to have been in existence in Mesopotamia.
Scotland is famous for men running round in skirts
(kilts) and whiskey. In history, warriors or soldiers from
Scotland were among the most feared on a battle field. The
most famous wall on earth is the Great Wall of China and yet
what is not common knowledge is that the Romans built a
wall across the top of England to keep the Scots out. So even
the great Roman army that conquered the known world at the
time was unable to tame, control or conquer the nation of
Scotland. Scotland is also famous for many stone circles like
we see at Avebury, Stonehenge and so on and amazingly, the
first ever chess set was found washed up on a beach on the
Isle of Lewis which is a remote island in the far north. It also
has the most haunted castle on planet earth in Edinburgh.
As for England, the French describe England as a
second rate country attached to a first rate city. The English
say of France, a great country pity about the people. So no
love lost between the French and English or between the
English and the Scots, Irish or Welsh. It is an odd thing that if
Ireland or Scotland or even Wales are in some sporting
competition that the English will support them. However,
when the English play, the Scots, Irish and Welsh will favour
the opposing team and not England. It is strange to think such
a small country as England could develop a word empire and
control the Irish, Welsh and especially the Scots. In Britain
everyone’s blood is mixed as in all descending from the Celts
and Picts although today defined by national borders.
The English
countryside is one of the
most beautiful aspects of
England and anywhere
you scratch the surface,
history bubbles to the top.
London’s reputation as
the center of globalism
is well earned as very little
in London’s day to day
life can be seen as
quintessentially “English”
and yet on every street
corner the history cries
out. London even has
what is considered to be
the most haunted place on
earth in the Tower of London, a very foreboding place, but
packed with so much history and fascinating things including
the biggest and second biggest diamonds in the world
belonging to her majesty Queen Elizabeth. But London is
more famous in this modern age for being the center of the
arts and fashion and of course a global language that the
world has to learn to do business globally which is great for
native speakers.
History as taught in schools is more about
nationalism than real history and as we all know, the victors
are the ones that write or rewrite history and so today man is
so lost as to whether he originates from some divine
supernatural God or if he fell out of a tree and evolved from
monkeys. In fact, if we follow the scientific modern day
empirical view we would have no idea where we came from
and try and make some sense of being in this modern age.
But in fact, the human being is the only creature ever to have
lived on earth that has a spine 90 degrees to the earth as
though designed to look heavenward and question the
meaning of existence and so on. Also, the fact that people can
access information so easily now on the worldwide web to
build a bigger picture and test and learn the truth for
themselves as opposed to accepting blindly what is
supposedly truth in other people’s eyes, means we do not
have to remain totally in ignorance of whatever is the truth.
Cole Porter once said “When a man is tired of
London, he is tired of life.” Living away from my home
town for so many years I have come to appreciate the historic
path to being born in London and though one of the most
expensive cities in the world, I can truly appreciate the rich
culture. I guess more importantly, is that I always encourage
my students to question a life that is dictated to them.
We all have our individual journeys in life and can
echo the words of Pontius Pilot “What is truth?” Maybe not
something we can logically explain easily and as in the case
of social psychology and spiritual analytical thinking, the
obvious solution or explanation is the most ignorant. If we
don’t know who we really are then how can we ever know
truly where our destiny lies?
From “Science to London”
maybe an abstract concept, but
unless we think abstract and out
the box we will never know what
truth is which in itself is not
abstract, but dumb.

By: Dondon Parohinog
On a cold Monday morning when everybody
still deals with the weekend hangover, I sat with one of
the newest lecturers to join APDI, Aj. Sonny Samonpal.
He gamely answered and even shared some of the most
significant details in his life.
Aj. Sonny spent most of his career-life in the
United States where he studied high school and
postgraduate studies, respectively. He also was certified
by the F.A.A. as a flight dispatcher .Eventually, he
landed a job for Northwest Airlines, worked as a flight
attendant for five years and flew to big and small cities
around the country. He considered Fort Walton Beach
in Florida as his most favorite place given how white
sand beach and clear blue sky could refresh him after
long flights. Came second is Paris because of its good
cuisine, yummy gataux and fashions.
Looking back, before he became a man that he is
today, Aj. Sonny was like any other young students in
school who enjoyed sports and loved the company of
friends. He played tennis and some golf but showed
more interest in studying. “My foreign English teachers
helped me build that strong foundation for English.
English was difficult but challenging, and challenges
gave me more fun and fulfillment.”
We shared some lighter moments when I asked
about his earliest memory. He could clearly remember
his Kindergarten year. His nanny dragged him to school
with a hanky around his neck and a Vicks vapor rub. It
does sound amusing at fully understandable since the
same things happen to four-year-olds now.
Finally, we ended the interview with Aj. Sonny
sharing his guiding principle in life. He said, “Be true to
yourself and everything will be just fine. Know yourself
first and soon, you will realize your dreams.”
At the course of the interview, I realized that our
lecturer, in the person of Aj. Sonny, is such a fulfilled
person but still dreams of travelling the world and
perhaps, share his own vision through journalism.

Our Lecturers By: Dondon Parohinog
Another lecturer who joined APDI since the
beginning of Academic Year 2013-2014 is Aj. Watcharaporn
Aranuvechphun or we simply call her Aj. Pop. This former
flight attendant of Japan Airlines (JAL) is in her late thirties
and is happily married. She met her husband 10 years ago
before they decided to get married and now, both are blessed
with a lovely baby boy.
First impression doesn’t really last as Aj. Pop told me
that she may look serious and indifferent but is quick in
refuting that she actually is a happy, a bit crazy person. She
reaffirmed it when I asked if she’s also full of enthusiasm
and positive outlook.
After I had a share of her personal side, she revealed
more about how she was as a student in her time. Some may
find it quite unbelievable but Aj. Pop also came to class late
just like any other students nowadays. She wasn’t so serious
about her studies then and had regrets of not paying more
attention to it. With that realization, she wants to share these
points: (1) Four years in the university is short that students
should really try harder to learn basic knowledge. So when
they look back, they can always be proud of what they
achieve. (2) The academic environment in KBU is
something that one cannot find in other universities. So,
students must exert effort and take advantage of these
facilities to further their knowledge in their respective
careers. According to Aj. Pop, “You, as students, can create
your future right now.”
Even with her achievement, our lecturer still dreams
of establishing a home-based business and seeing her family
happy. I can truly attest that she’s not far in achieving those
dreams. Having a degree in Management and a former
marketing manager of one of the Top Travel Agencies in
Thailand, it is still way to go for Aj. Pop.
