I did already all the things you said, except where I can find the right information. Already know the things about Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific, Flight Training (& Facilities) and things like that. I have already a JAA basic book (PDF) but I don't know which chapters I need to read. Just read some of the beginnings, some chapters which are related to the chapters from the JKI?
IMHO, Read about Meteorology, Basic Navigation, Basic Engine, Fundamentals of Aerodynamics, Primary and Secondary control surfaces, Basic Flight Instruments and Principles of Flight(lift formula, stall angle, etc.)

As you probably noticed, all is very BASIC. Fully understand these first and then try to go further. Ofcourse, it is all theoretical and it would help you so much more to have some practical experience as well, and no, FS 2004 or higher, does not count as practical;-)!
