back from dubai.. considered the most unlucky trip ever so far.. but out of something bad, something good will always come out of it..

1. left my wallet in the transport to the hotel, and was left handicapped without cash for 1.5 days..

2. went for a tour and got into an accident.. details to be filled in later..

3. was on check

okie.. good thing was i got back my wallet.. with everything intact.. the ppl there are considered quite honest huh.. but really need to thank the front office staff who did his very best to help me source for my wallet..

3rd day there, a few of us went for the desert tour.. got there.. and rode the buggy bike with chris and ya, we got into an accident. went up the sand dung, couldn't see wad's over it and then the next time we knew, our bike was flying in the air and landed sideways.. chris got a cut on his chin and lips, and got bruises and abrasion all over, especially my back.. pics later..

but it was a pretty sight.. seeing the endless sea of sand.. and the sand is so fine.. we had a hard time walking on it as our feet will sink in with every step taken.. up and down the sand dung made a few of us feeling nauseous by the time we reach the makan place.. which was located in the middle of the desert... cool..

by nightfall, the sand got so cold, it was so shiok to walk barefooted on the sand.. like seriously damn shiok feeling.. smoked shisha.. don their tranditional costume that made me look like the asian version of sister act cast... haha..

very nice to know ppl like chris and tizann who accompanied me throughout the whole trip.. chris who was like a big brother taking care of me though i'm more senior than him.. and tizann who really is like a big sister who helped me rub my wound.. and i really can't thank them enough for making me feel at ease in an unfamiliar place.. thanks guys.. and chris, dun feel bad about the accident.. it's an accident.. ;)

btw, the hotel provides shuttle service to the shopping centre.. and their transport is like.. super high class la!! audi le!! i was like wowed by it.. press a button and the shades for the window will come down.. and the individual aircon vent has it's individual temperature controller.. cool..

the interior of the shuttle service transport.. looks damn cool la.. spacious.. and comfy as well..
sitting in it.. i feel like a princess!! waha.. abrasion on my back.. that's just a small part..
and bruise on my arm..

well.. overall, i can say that i enjoy the company of this trip.. for the flt.. i shall not talk about it then.. let's just remember the good times together..

dad came to pick me from airport this morning.. how i miss the feeling of sitting in the car next to him... going home together.. told him about my accident and he actually agreed to keep it from my mom.. haha.. after breakfast he ask me to the room, and applied medication on my wound.. touched..

in dubai now.. glad that the crew on this flight were quite nice.. went to the shopping place called city centre just now.. dubai is really not as less developed as wad most ppl think.. the ppl here are quite well versed in english, although the accent is a little hard to catch..

and yesterday after we checked in, the crew gathered at the crew room to have our dinner.. such nice times together at outstation.. hard to find..
look at the happy family having our dinner.. looks like we are having a chalet kinda gathering.. cool..
and look at the mess tizann and i made with our briyani.. haha..
the pretty and nice tizann who brought me around and guided me.. thanks dear!!
and here's my dinner for tonight!! not a fan of the food here.. but acceptable.. hehe..

oh.. i should talk abit about the past few days.. thursday was lunch with sha.. bitch about things as usual, got her dress, and i'm officially her chinese tutor!! haha.. and we are serious about it.. we even bought nursery level chinese books for her to practise.. haha..
and then it's meeting time.. and after that.. it's k time again!! i know.. seems like i'm always going to k right.. can't help it.. i will die without music!! haha.. this time, with christabel, limin and my dearest cousin.. tat ming..
we sang from 9pm till about 4am.. haha.. i was high even without the alcohol.. and tat drank quite a bit.. dear cousin, pls do take care of ur body k? ur 堂姐 here is concern about ur health..

met christabel for lunch back at TP on friday.. and i had my fav tomyam soup!!went up to the staff room and chit chat with grace chia and ivy tan a little.. still the same old two.. hehe.. and when i walked pass the notice board.. these are the two pics that caught my attention..reminds me of the good old days in TP.. poly life.. miss it so..

dinner at 85 with ailing who only ate a stick of satay... and with christabel and tat ming.. quiet dinner.. but as i always say.. it's the company that counts..

came back and my brother showed me his shopping.. he bought a set of clothes for his graduation, sponsored by my sis.. thought it looked quite cool.. and although it cost quite a bit, guess it is worth the image portrayed...reported for work on sat.. almost late cos i can't find parking lot.. and saw dad at the transit area.. i can't seem to control my tears from flowing everytime i see my dad in the airport, be it sending him off, or receiving.. and it is worse when one has to go when one comes back.. cried of course, and once again, a hug from him when he walked towards me and got hold of me.. ppl say that we are of our weakest in front of our loved ones.. and i think that's quite true.. was still thinking about my dad while walking to my gate when i heard someone calling my name.. u guessed it right.. it was LINDA LOW!! haha.. she nv fails to brighten up my day really... seeing her is like seeing hope.. like although things happen, my flight will be a good one..

when i arrived in dubai, i received her msg and i'm really touched by her actions.. and i received ur words from ur blog linda, thanks a million for ur encouragement.. thanks a lot..

think i left my outstation wallet in the bus when collecting tips.. but my sin wallet is still with me.. so i lost about 3oo sin worth of dirhams.. damn.. feel so handicap without money..

going for a desert tour tmr.. hope it'll be fun..

will blog again..

came back from manila turn this morning... minimal rest last night.. full and hectic flight to and back.. and on the way back.. bad turbulence.. i literally flew up and landed in a squatting position.. scary..

accompanied my brother to changi beach.. was there to sign up for kayaking course and i was there for nothing but to pay the fees for him..nice weather with nice breeze.. guess this will be my new spot to go when i'm feeling down..

went home for a while before heading for the airport.. not to work but to meet up with the CX clan.. not that i love my job so much but it's for the convenience of linda and charmaine..

missed out on the last gathering cos of my grandma's death.. thinking and talking about it brings tears to my eyes..
really glad that there are these group of ppl who can understand the stress and work conditions of an airline.. although different department, the pax handling experience is there.. thanks guys..

and once again, i'm being put together with kai.. seems like the rumour of me and him being together are spreading again.. surprisingly, news spread even after graduation.. haha..
long day tmr.. meeting diff groups of ppl.. sha, batchgals, fbma ppl, cousin.. wow.. i'm really making full use of the time i'm in sin man.. that's good isn't it.. it's tiring to plan for gathering, but the satisfaction is there when u see the outcome of it.. yeah..

gotta make up for the lack of sleep now.. tata..

btw, i got the news that my dad's coming back on sat at 1330.. and my reporting time for flt is 1310. damn. why do our flts always clash with each other?? man....

kinda lack of sleep for the past few days.. so when i lay on my bed last night, i knocked out.. till about 12 this afternoon.. very rare of me to sleep in for so long.. guess i'm really tired. tired of everything..

touched down from colombo turn yesterday and guess who i saw at the aircraft door.. LINDA LOW GUI TIN!! haha.. she was receiving my flt.. without knowing i'm on it.. cool huh.. i felt so happy seeing her, that i almost lose my composure and image.. haha.. too bad i can't post pics in uniform, if not i'd have taken one and post it here to share the joy with everyone.. and to think i just met her the day before for lunch.. wonders of fate.. haha.. hope u like the ice cream!! *wink*

met up with hydi today.. went to alter my bloody tight uniform.. and then lunch at NYDC.. both our first time there.. nothing really fantastic, but it's always the company that counts right..

coincidentally, our colour theme for the day was black and white.. haha.. no we did not agree on that beforehand..

got wad i wanted to get.. except for my foundation and mascara.. and of course.. got more than what i plan to buy.. japanese jelly!! haha.. the ones i bought when i was in narita.. craving..

and then i bought this chocolate truffle cake for my brother.. saw it.. and decided to get it. it's so not jovi to buy a cake for no reason, and i myself am not a chocolate person.. hmm.. wad's wrong with me today... maybe i just love my brother too much.. haha..
hope you like the cake tat..

manila turn tmr.. wish my luck..

and it's another steamboat dinner.. yes.. i have had 3 steamboat meals in a week.. cool huh.. but this time is with the IG members.. at marina south.. it has been such a long time since we gathered together... looking at my seniors catching up with each other, somehow it puts a smile on my face..
the night didn't just end with a dinner.. we went over to orchard party world for some k session and got ourselves real high!! at least for jasmine and myself.. hehe.. 无言的结局.. my new must-sing song..
love the company really.. actually.. i just like to be surrounded by friends.. cos being alone is really not a very nice feeling and i hate it.. we sang till 3am.. not shiok enough but at least i enjoyed myself..

fetched my brother to take his medical test for youth flying club.. he wanna be a pilot.. good that he has got a direction.. but flying.. not a good experience for me.. but then again.. not good for me doesn't mean not good for him right.. all the best bro..

met up with kai and linda for lunch and zifu joined us later.. simple lunch to share with each other poly memories and stories from past and present.. i miss poly life.. and i believe the rest will agree with me totally..
thanks zifu, for making the effort to join us right after you book out.. u look smart.. thanks linda for organizing the lunch.. thanks kai for joining us and bringing laughter to our lunch..

thanks my fellow IG mates for making the effort to come for the gathering..

thanks to everyone who has been with me all these while. i appreciate it.

was watching tv and then this scene at the cemetery brings tears to my eyes.. reminding me of my grandma.. and then of my dad in indo..

man. i hate the way i'm living my life.
