i'm just a gal, who wants love, from friends and family. if i may be a bit more greedy, from someone who can love me too.

spent yesterday and today at home rotting.. except work tonight almost killed me and my back. ouch.

i will be going back to work freelance at CX in march.. cos i need the income.. and i cannot leave the airline environment now that i've stepped into it..
yesterday got my aunt to book the tix to taiwan.. yeah!! so exciting.. but got a lot of research to be done..
ailing left for phuket today.. so sad.. can still remember the beginning of SIP when she went to bkk.. now it's already the end of it.. but this time is better.. went into the transit area to look for her and for the first time she said she finally get to see me in uniform.. haha..

my rooster is kinda sucky these few days.. off.. morning.. off.. morning.. it's morning shift today again.. and today there was no supervisor on duty.. the only person that's happy is the stupid prada la.. so irritating.. but i had a good time complaining about him to samantha during lunch time.. haha..
jacinta told me another news today.. dunno to be happy or to be further confused..
yesterday i got an invitation out on sat.. adds on to my confusion.. but i got to give it a try somehow.. let's just see how it goes ya?

Monday, January 22, 2007
went to brewerkz with karin, van, michelle and ailing yesterday night.. was caught in a whirl of confusion.. god!! give me some signs!! no.. a sign will do!!
can't get to sleep.. so woke up at about 3.30am.. went through my closet.. took time to do everything nicely.. bunned my hair.. make up.. and i think due to the lack of sleep.. i got a bit high the whole morning trying to keep myself awake..
today's assignment seemed a bit too coincidental.. well, at least it helped me get by the boring morning.. but it adds on my the confusion mind that i already had..
thanks to all who have been giving me advice..

another info i got today.. i'll be working morning shift on CNY eve..
busy day.. from the moment i sat down at the counter at 6am.. i worked non stop all the way until about 10.30am.. my god.. the passengers were consistantly flowing into the queue area.. and i dun even have the time to take a short water break!!
i come to know that my good good friend is attached. that's good.. and bad news.. oh well, i guess that's her choice and i will respect it regardless of my opinion.. but there's one thing that's bothering me: i think i'm jealous. of her situation.. i dunno.. it just feels helpless not being able to do anything to help her.. i failed as a friend.
did dish up again at waraku.. for the first time after about.. 6 months? getting rusty.. and the new menu which i have not been trained on.. and the new kitchen supervisor that i have not worked with.. i seriously almost died..
spent the whole of yesterday with my IG seniors.. went back to TP open house.. had a chat with ms choi.. went to bugis to look for jasmine.. then to Miss Clarity Cafe for early dinner.. then off to parkway to k.. ya.. after i just got my voice back like 2 days ago.. but it was fun.. will post the pics soon..
Wednesday, January 17, 2007
was intending to spend the day quietly.. but the first thing i had to know when i step onto the land of the airport.. i'll be working on 1st day of CNY. it's not really that bad actually.. but then, the rooster team told me that i might be working less than 10 days in the month of feb.. that news pulled my mood for the entire day down. there goes my extra pocket money.. seems like i gotta find another job.. man...
did departure duty for the columbo flight.. was held up at the counter.. therefore by the time we reached the gate the aircraft was already there.. was rushing like crazy.. was multi tasking all the way.. setting up the computer.. printing documents.. checking the transit passengers with the list.. slotting boarding passes... picking up calls.. handling pax with excess handcarry.. omg.. but thank god the flight left early still.. it was quite exciting though..
joke of the day: there were a lot of ppl talking on the walkie air.. so crowded that one of the staff shouted into the walkie: "stop!!!" and everyone thought wad happened and no one dared to talk on the walkie.. as it was close to the departure time of the 6.30 flight, we thought the staff was asking the captain to stop. only when we went back to the office then we realise that she was fed up she could not find a chance to talk on air that's why she started shouting into the walkie.. haha.. then everyone was telling her wad they thought happened.. imagine she shouted stop and the captain stop controlling the plane.. and everyone was saying they all really stop wadever they were doing.. haha..

back from my mc.. still feeling a little dry in my throat.. and as expected, got teased by my colleagues..
today time seem to pass quite fast.. probably it's cos i'm in my own world most of the time..
went for break alone today, so bought a magazine and had lunch on my own, with the magazine to help kill time..
came back to my counter and indulge myself in my music world from my phone..
then the observation for my mini project also help to make time past faster.. at least there's some progress in the observation.. rather than just pictures..
today got a lot of funny things from my phone.. firstly my dad's friend's son msg me and ask who am i.. after like 2 yrs nv meet him, it seem kinda weird. but anyway, he's finishing army this nov..
secondly, my colleague suddenly called and the first thing she asked was: do you have a bf now? wad an opening la. then when i say no, she said: okie thanks. just curious. hmm... something is going on huh.. bad feeling she's going to do something stupid like match-making...
and then, this person suddenly msg me and ask me if i'm feeling alright.. and this person HAPPENS to be the guy that my colleague wants me to be match made to... wad a COINCIDENCE hor...

yesterday i kinda like totally lost my voice.. but still got to work at waraku.. can just imagine the agony of not being able to speak to your customers.. and in the afternoon i was busy fetching my dad from airport... at 2pm.. and when i come back i got to go to the airport again.. at 4pm..
today was nothing better.. my voice got worse, i got disgusted by it.. spent the whole morning and afternoon clearing my room.. and together with my sis, we threw out 5 bags of unwanted clothes.. and about 4 bags of rubbish.. haha.. damn tired..
went to see a doctor.. like finally after so many months of restricting myself from the clinic.. doctor said it is throat infection.. and i was given like 4 kinds of medication.. xian.. hate to take medicine.. and i got an mc for tmr..
after tolerating for so long, in the end i still got to break the clean record of not having mc.. sad.. just when i am nearing the end of the internship.. but gotta make use of tmr and try and finish up some work..

i got drenched today!!! today's 10.10 flight got delayed.. it was about to take off when they realise there was a technical problem.. so the plane returned to bay.. and it was raining cats and dogs which made the matter worse.. to salvage the problem.. we transfered all the business class passengers to the 11.35 flight..
and because we did that, we need to transfer the bags as well.. so karen, azlili and i went to the aircraft side to look for the bags that needed to be transfered.. in the rain.. i was in the rain for about 30 mins in my uniform.. and i was soaked in and out.. cold..
the stupid thing was: in the end the two flights left at about the same time..
and by then, it was about 12 plus.. i still got 2 tkt stats to do.. thanks to sam for helping me with one.. and i get to leave by 1.30 and rushed to school for the SQ interview..
and the good news is.. i passed the first round!! and so did sam and cindy and janice!! so exciting.. after the first time i went, i was kinda disheartened.. but i hope i'll be able to do my best and pass all rounds.. hmm.. good luck to myself then..
oh man.. i'm beginning to lose my voice..
Thursday, January 11, 2007
haha.. notice the similarity?
then went home for a short nap before heading out to cineleisure for k session with shi ling and amanda!! and we really sang out hearts out.. till my voice kinda like became husky.. a continuation from the bad sore throat i had a few days ago..
still lookin fresh after all the "hard work" of singing.. haha..
it was still raining when we left the place at about 11.30pm.. and there was a super long q at the meritus mandarin hotel.. so we called cab.. and got motion sickness.. yes.. the both of us.. haha..
Wednesday, January 10, 2007
we did our tkt stats.. and then we got into the mood of making a card out of a paper bag for ben. ben is our senior colleague and he's leaving cathay for another job.. sad..
and i wanted to ask allie what colour he liked, but instead of ben's name, i mentioned another name.. i kinda like slapped myself in my face..
look at our masterpiece..
Tuesday, January 09, 2007
today i got to do two things that i've nv done before alone in my days in Cathay..
1. doing the highly looked upon job: the departure 2 duty
2. preparing the departure documents
i was proud of myself for not making any mistakes for the flight. the flight was delayed, but it was not because of me!! ha.
afternoon seem to pass really slowly.. really..
and i shared my sia experience with linda, and i am touched that there are still people supporting me even after i've failed once. therefore, i will buck up and try again. when i finally succeed, i will let you guys know..

the past two days was like sitting on rollercoaster of emotions.. went to school for classroom session on saturday.. it was like fashion show.. everyone seem to be on their best appearance.. my god.. but it's good that i manage to catch up with many of my friends.. esp the dao nic that always nv talk to me when he see me in sch.. i guess many of you would have know i am going for sia interview tmr.. i dun have high hopes honestly.. but thanks for the support anyway..
went to suntec to meet sha and yixiu for lunch after sch.. went to fish and co and it's really nice to be with people like them.. then mich joined us after lunch, and they went to the arcade while i went to do my preparations for tmr.. by the time i joined them at the arcade, they were already busy with bags of sweets they won from the sweet machine.. and guess wad, by the end of the day, we spent 106 bucks on 5 bags full of sweets and 5 jackpot prizes.. haha..
they were stressed..
over these.. haha..
we had so much sweets that we had to seperate them into bags.. haha..
and at city link i saw my primary school best friend!! WANSHI!!
still as pretty as ever.. haha..
saturday was an okie day.. but sunday was a super down day..
i went for the SIA interview.. and didn't get through.. i was quite surprise that people i though did badly got through and i didn't. but lucky i made a new friend (janice) who was there for the interview as well. both of us didn't get through and i was fortunate to have her around to keep me company as i was really down that i felt like crying. he boyfriend got in though and i am happy for him.. after we left each other, i can't help it but cry while waiting for the train as my mom went on and on on the phone. you wouldn't want to know what she said..
when i reached home, there was no sign of consolation but more work to do.. we had to clean the show rack and all.. but at least my brother is understanding enough. i ask for a comforting hug from him and i kinda cried in his arms.. and he teared too.. i was touched..
to get me away from sadness, i worked my ass off at waraku at night, making myself busier than anyone else. i felt better after that, but the empty feeling is still there. i kinda like lose confidence in myself.. but janice encourage me to try again.. and i will..
and today was morning shift.. everything was fine as usual except my mood, until the bkk flight got delayed and eat into the next flight. so i helped to cover the departure duties for the 430 flight, and ended up working for 12 hours.. not that i am complaining, but sometimes work really does help to get troubles off your mind..
and for the first time i witness the baggage unit and the engineers retriving the container from the plane, opening it up and taking the bag out one by one, searching for the pax's bag.. what happened was this pax came to the gate and said he has a change of plan, so he's not going to hkg anymore. therefore we had to offload his bag from the flight.. and he checked in quite early, so his bag was like at the bottom of the container. we had to check which container his bag is kept in, then get a lot of people to help to transport the bags on top of his out, and then pull his bag out, and then put all the bags back into the container.. imagine if it was raining.. the worst thing was, the pax did not even show any sign of remorse.. wth..
this shows how unappreciative people can get..

the longest shift ever.. and i was like kinda 'sabotaged' by amanda and gang.. she went to ask steven what he think of me and things like that.. my god.. when did this scandal happen?? how come the involved party is not aware of it!!??
hmm.. okie... then during lunch time, samantha, alison and i were on the topic of marriage.. like will we get married with our current bf.. (which only applies to alison).. and talking about the lasting effect..
and then came the bomb.. i wanted to change the seats of this pax for his onward trip from bkk to bombay. but instead of putting origin from bkk, i put hkg. when i realised my mistake, i quickly went to my supervisor to correct my mistake. okie.. then when i came back from my break, i got a telex from hkg saying that the pax that i changed the seat wrongly, has been deleted from the system and they want an explanation for that. the modification was made under my code, but the deleting is under my supervisor's code. then she said i told her to delete the pax. my god. i felt so shit. it was not even my fault.. even if i asked her to delete the pax, it's kinda common sense that i dun really have the authority to ask her to delete without giving her a valid reason right?? sigh.. i think there goes my first warning letter.. just when it's coming to the end of SIP..
Tuesday, January 02, 2007
it's the late shift today.. nothing much happened except that i was an old singer, pan anbang. when the flight is not full and the counter is quiet.. it gets kinda hard for time to pass.. but the company of my fellow colleagues are keeping me going..
i was intending to do my portfolio tonight.. but my brother is like hogging the computer..
Monday, January 01, 2007
it's the new year and it started badly for me.. the door and the lift was kinda against me, and i was almost late for my morning transport.. i ran down 23 storey within 2 minutes and remained giddy the whole day..
and then.. i checked fan wei qi in today!! haha.. and i got the passport i din really notice the face. i saw it was a taiwan passport and the surname fan immediately thought of her. but i din even know she was in singapore. i was just thinking: scarely is fan wei qi. then i saw the full name, and then the pic on the passport, and then i looked up. haha.. then i asked her manager if she was her. then she was like ya. and i manage to get her boarding pass!! yeah!! she's really pretty and skinny..
after work went to parkway with amanda to get prezzies for the birthday gal: ryna and liyan.. had lunch there and after that made our way to pasir ris.. on the way was kinda irritated by someone but it din really get on my nerves..
we went to the wrong chalet.. downtown east instead of costa sands.. saw ppl like aaron, mahathir, karin.. and ppl from cx like angeline, min, joyce, shiling.. winnie.. and the birthday cake is beautiful.. it was a standing barbie!! haha..
yap.. and the day ended with a misunderstanding... but it was cleared in the end..
