met ailing for lunch just now.. first day at work, hope she's getting used to it.. thought of giving her a bit of encouragement with my presence..

got called up for johannesburg later.. 230am flt. damn.

long flt.. 10 hrs.. to south africa.. having to leave my family behind.. i really hate the feeling.. i thought i tided over the feeling of emptiness.. but somehow it's back.. i hate to say this but i can't seem to take it anymore.. i feeling like giving up everything and going back to my normal life.. but circumstances forcing me to stay on.

there's nothing positive for me to look forward to.. living aimlessly in life. hate it.

have been thinking of studying these days.. now i really miss sch life.. but with such working hours, i can't seem to start on my studies as of now. which means. i'm really stuck.

got called up for shanghai last sat.. 2nd time there.. this time weather was fine, but was colder than the 1st time i was there..

as usual, massage, and then went to have steamboat for dinner with my crew jeannie.. we kinda over ordered.. thinking the small assorted meat was small.. but it turned out to be about the same size as the pot itself..

chatted quite a bit with jeannie.. very nice lady.. my sis's age and also flying for about 3 yrs.. she's like an elder sister to me.. sharing with me her relationship problems.. and i am really glad that she trust me with her problems..

got the sudden urge to k.. and so we went to 钱柜, the shanghai version of k box. think it originated from taiwan. cos i went to one in taiwan.. probably cos it was a sat night.. and it was happy hour.. we waited for about half an hour for our room.. but in the meantime we got a sample of ballys!! haha..

got the room.. and ordered the special for the night.. 6 cans of beer for 48 rmb.. in sin dollars, 6 cans for less than 9 bucks.. i would say.. cheap.. din finish my 3 cans though.. but knowing myself, i can get high even without the alcohol.. haha..

flt got delayed on the way back.. and so we ordered room service and shared.. hainanese chicken rice for 20 sin dollars!! well.. it's sheraton.. was the youngest on the flt and the crew kept calling me YP （young pax) or UM(unaccompanied minor). haha.. well, just enjoy it while i can..

before the flt.. went out for k session with amanda on thursday.. haven k with her for a long long time.. and of course.. we challenged ourselves with duets.. bravo.. my best k partner so far..

in the midst of our singing.. we manage to get through sistic.. and got ourselves 2 tix to jay chou's concert!! i'm so excited about it!! just hope i dun get rostered for any flt then.. if not..

had dinner with linda, jingmin, jiahui, emilyn n amanda.. all the T08 ppl and i kinda feel abit out.. but they were all nice ppl.. so it was still alright.. made a new friend though.. haha..

on the way to dinnerplace.. saw jay chou in orchard road and took a pic with him!! haha..
not real.. but at least it's jay chou... haha.. cheap thrill huh..

attended my brother's graduation ceremony on fri with my parents.. really envy him.. thinking back, the only time my family member attended any graduation or sch event of mine was poly... even for enrolment into sec sch, ppl had their parents, i had my brother with me.. and he was only 9 then?? well.. probably that's the difference btw son and daughter.. and the cons of being the middle child..

feelings aside, the graduation ceremony was quite grand i thought.. educators came in in robes.. they had speech from headmaster.. the music made me feel as though i'm in harry potter's hogward sch.. all the speech and the awards.. made me think of the times i spent in tkg.. almost brought tears to my eyes.. not cos i'm sad.. but i'm just touched by all the happenings..
congrats tat!! moving on to another phase of life.. all the best to u..

had dinner with ailing today and realise i haven met her for the past 1.5 week.. surprised ming on the road.. haha.. he was going back to camp.. short catch up session.. but it least i help brighten up his mood.. (i hope i did.. )

activated for Johannesburg on wed morning.. meaning i gotta get ready on tuesday night.. xian..

wish me luck ppl..

btw.. 6th is javin's birthday.. so wishing JAVIN SINGH a very merry HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

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..
