day 10..

last day of training.. next week will be starting our shift work with our mentor le.. so excited and looking forward to it man..

today was a lot of walking.. it was like an excursion.. haha..

first stop.. quantas business lounge..

next stop.. rainforest lounge..

behind the doors are the jacuzzis...

resting area in the lounge..

next stop: departure gate..

this place was so happening man.. we watched the whole process of the plane drving into the 'parking lot'.. and the pilot has to aim accurately lo.. like the wheels to the lines on the ground.. amazing.. then saw the arrowbridge connected to the doors of the plane..

and then, we illegally went into the aircraft!! haha.. cos we only got temp pass.. which only allow us to get access to area B and D.. but the arrowbridge and the aircraft is area C.. we were so sneaky la.. hehe.. then.. we went to the cockpit!! COOL!!!!

a view of the cockpit from the jumpseat behind the captain seat!!

look at the seat and the equipments in front of the pilot..

look at the complexity of the buttons and things!! wow..

we spotted this screen that says.."waste tank status.".. haha.. so this is where they monitor the amount of waste that the pax release on the plane in the air.. haha..

yoyo.. we just touched down from HKG, sitting in the business class.. haha.. like real ah.

this is the pathway to the plane..

amanda and i at the waiting area behind the departure gate.. we spotted a 'suspicious pax' who kept looking at us.. haha.. then there were many 'trans' as it was a flight to bangkok.. haha.. then at the very last min, there was this pax who lost her passport.. then it was already close to the departure time.. so the ramp co-ordinator had to run about.. and get the engineers to dig out her baggage and put the 'offloaded baggage' tag.. it was so crucial lo.. haha.. but then it was interesting to be able to observe the possible happenings at the departure area.. then when the plane left.. we saw this man still sitting at the waiting area.. all of us got a shock man.. thought this guy nv board the plane.. then he turn out to be one of the security.. phew..

next stop: SATS inflight catering centre 2..

all 10 of us.. plus the driver and joycelyn had to squeeze in this 'big' car.. haha... the front was the driver and joycelyn, then the middle part was amanda, kelly, lin and myself... and the back was the 6 small size ones.. then we said this is like the plane.. first class in front, business class in the middle, and the last one is economy class.. damn funny..

we went to tour around the place and saw the process of the meals being prepared and how they are transported to the aircraft.. but first, all of us had to wear.. THIS-->

the hair thing made all of us looked like ah mahs lah!!

we were in the refrigerator store.. and it was cold... haha.. look at our stiff smiles...

this is a cable car.. for the pushcarts you see the air-stewardess push on the plane.. it helps to transport these carts around the different areas of the building.. look at how advance technology is..

the staff at work.. clearing the washed dishes from the big washing machines..

this is the dark chocolate.. btw, they make their own chocolate.. and i tried one that's of orange flavour.. i'm not really a chocolate person but that was.. fantastic..

this is the cream chocolate maker..

look at the strudels.. from austria.. and of course, it's not for the economy class..

the production area..

now let us look at the difference between the business/first class, and the economy class..

first/business class..

and.. the economy class.. haha. note the difference??

it was a very fruitful day.. and i saw auntie may.. the auntie i always see when i work at the SATS catering centre 1...

rushed over to conrad hotel for a meeting with mr cheong.. FBMA president.. only alan, junie, chai ping and myself was around.. and we were 'invited' to the OSCAR'S for a complimentary dinner.. haha... we were like joking about a free dinner before the meeting, then we really got a free dinner.. hehe.. and mr cheong said he would usually offer dinner after the meeting.. looks like we are in for a big treat this time!! worth the membership fee..

alright.. this is a super long post with so many pictures.. have fun with the post..
