What do u do when all ur frenz ard u are either working or having exams? What do u do with all the free time in the world? For me i hate the loneliness whenever im all alone in SG....the nature of my work is as such...meeting new colleagues on each flight... frenz come n go...i rilly appreciate the company i get from them whenever we all have the same off day in sg...now tat im on leave till 17 nov im all alone again...waiting for frenz to ask me out when they r back in sg or whoever tats free...

Oil prices rising and dropping.....Recession being the topic in recent wks....Obama got elected as president of US....when so many thing ard u happens so quickly...u start to wonder if u will be affected....as for me i guess im contented as im not being affected much...SQ has announced to cut down on flights to certain cities...pax load has been light for certain flights which is gd for me but bad for the company....lesser pax means lesser work to do...thankfully SQ hasn't retrench anyone yet....but nowadays they have too many crew...i had standby on 2 days but they din call me up for flight...a fren of mine was on standby also but she was given off day instead...another fren of mine volunteered to do flights during his leave n control said they r fine wif the no. of crew...

With the current economy crisis...its a good time to invest if u have extra cash on hand...gd opportunity to make money in stocks or trade forex....too bad i juz squandered all my money on my dear fairlady...damn...nevertheless no regrets as i still have a decent amt to invest...haha...juz applied for CDP last wk...hopefully they give me the acct by next wk so i can start playing the stock market b4 the stocks increase :)

Back in Paris again...i never fail to appreciate the architecture of the buildings there....a city of romance n fashion is how i describe the place...tho some pple might say tat french r snobbish pple who r proud of their own language but i back to defer tat most of them r generally nice pple...


Navigating outside Notre Dame


Somewhere along the way from notre dame to Lourve museum







Lourve Musuem....a place i was inspired to visit after watching the Da Vinci Code



Me and Diana (indonesian crew)


Feeding pigeons outside Lourve...hehe...lucky i had bread with me





A picture taken with Mona Lisa...i wonder wat so nice abt the painting...there r so many nicer paintings displayed at the Lourve...n so many pple were crowding ard it n they had to put barrier so tat pple cant get too near it...












My fav. food so far i found overseas...LEON Mussels...i had it for dinner on my 1st n 2nd day... :)


Before...


& After....i think i the whole bucket has 800gms of mussels(about 3 dozens)

Did a 8 days SG-Dubai-Istanbul-Dubai-SG....Fortunately i had good company on the flight...crew were all very nice including the pilots...din rilly do much sightseeing in dubai cos the weather was freaking hot...headed to emirates mall which is Dubai biggest shopping centre with my colleague to meet her fren who happen to be an emirates crew...it was nice to noe pple from other airline...different airline different culture...shes a singaporean btw...n having to leave SG n stay in dubai is something very hard to adapt to...esp. dubai as it is a muslim country...gosh...they r so strict to a point tat foreigners had to aby to their rules...It was their ramadan period n no one was suppose to eat during the day even tho u dun belong to their religion...I saw a ang moh kena stop for eating Burger King in public by the security gurad...wtf man...so we had no choice but to take away food to the hotel to eat...


SKI dubai in emirates mall (an indoor ski for beginners)

Siti, Cynthia (emirates crew), Michelle, ME


joshua, jeslyn, edwin, angela, me outside a makan place in istanbul which was introduce by our Inflight supervisor...food wasn't very impressive



Sheesha stall near our hotel






Blue mosque in istanbul...dun ask me y is it called blue mosque cos i din manage to enter the mosque due to prayer timings when i got there...perhaps its decorated with blue gems inside??


Turkey is the country tat seperates europe n asia...





Grand bazaar in Istanbul


These r the common things sold at the grand bazaar...very unique n beautiful i shd say...tempted to buy back but the thought of squeezing it into my small cargo bag deter me from buying...maybe next time when i bring a bigger cargo bag i will buy


Apple tea...popular drink among the turks

1 mth has past since i last blog...so many things have happen within 1 mth...had been dating during this period but i guess i didn't like her enough to rilly wan her so better to end the relationship....im sorry for being a perfectionist...hopefully she finds someone who will love her more in return...the life of being a crew is so complicated

As for now I can proudly say tat i've fulfilled one of my dream in life...n tats owning a car of mine own the 'nissan FAIRLADYZ'! Shall post some pics of my dear fairlady next time...currently still trying to do some modifications to the car like changing the lights n increasing the HP...juz installed a GPS system n a reverse sensor today....might consider putting in a twin turbo in future...Well..its a high maintenance car but i have no regrets buying it...my next target is to own a house in the next couple of yrs...

Today also marks the end of my probation...finally the attention will not be on me n i can start changing flights! the removal of the P plate feeling is a huge relief not only for me but for all my batchmates...

Will be on leave from 2-9oct....no plans on how to spend my leave yet....most probably juz going to idle ard in sg...meet up wif whoever is in sg n maybe volunteer for some flights...so all u folks who r reading plz ask me out!!!! IM IN SINGAPORE!!!!

Here i m...back in Amsterdam again...i think amsterdam is one of my fav. stations now....or perhaps its becos of the company tat i have...it doesn't matter where u r of u have gd company...well...Day 1 wanted to see the Mudaradam aka 'miniature world'....however lunch at this thai restaurant was rather draggy so in the end decided to juz walk by the river...

While walking along the canal we saw pple who were on this cute little peddle boat so we wanted to had a go at it too...took us quite a distance to finally find the boat kiosk....





hydi on the right trying to manaveour the boat


4 of us in ams!

Alrite next was something i rilly wanted to try in the City of Drugs! but always never dared to try cos no one wanna try but thanks to the fun company that i had...we bought a pack of magic mushrooms to try




we bunk into the same room n took the mushrooms!!! The seller recommended us to take 3 mushroom each but each pack had 6 n there were 3 of us...therefore we took 2 mushroom each instead....the effect was sensational!! initially we tot we were con becos we waited abt an hr and there was no effect of feeling high or illusional...den suddenly everything ard me amuse me n i started laughing at the slightest comment....i simply cant stop laughing n it was rilly very fun!!!!! who says u need alcohol to feel high??? Unfortunately for hydi n xian wen the effect din rilly kick into them n they behave normal...maybe they ate too little mushrooms...





2nd day had lunch at a cafe near the hotel...ordered pancakes with ice cream...but seems more like prata with ice cream...look how huge the pancake is!!!




we finally found the Anne frank museum which we failed to do so on day 1...Little did we realise tat it was at the boat kiosk which we rented the boat...wat the hell???


Headed to sex museum after our visit to anne frank.....

Me n hydi at Madame tussaud musuem


SEX Musuem!!!!

A nude photo to end of this post of my wonderful experience in AMS...Ams reminds me of the movie Harold & Kumar (escape from guantamo bay)...

Christchurch is one of my desired country to visit becos of the sightseeing places u can visit....Initially the FO, Yuhan n me wanted to sightsee at hitmer springs...we have already plan to rent a car the next day but becos yuhan cldn't wake up the next day so our planned trip was cancelled....so there we were meeting up for lunch n walking ard town instead...


Christchurch cathedral juz outside our hotel



Yuhan the taiwan stewardess


Nightview of the cathedral


Some random pics by the lake


The statue of the first man to conquer the north pole


Inside the cathedral...funny thing was that we thought no pictures r allowed in the cathedral but upon walking out of the cathedral we saw a sign that stats if u buy the brochure for juz 2 dollars u can take pictures inside the cathedral...so i bought brochure which entitle us to snap pictures inside.
