My Virgin Flight

So this was how my career took flight. In lots of slight turbulances.

Was a little scare @ first. But realised that some of my other batchmates experienced turbulances too.

My maths must be getting poor cos the time that i estimated we'll get in Auckland turns out to be much less than we expected. Sianz... so AKL came and went like this... Have no idea when's the next time i get the time to explore =)

That aside. Having not enough time to explore AKL is auxillary. The company i have should be a primary concern and that brings a smile to my face =)

I was braced for a bad experience. Firstly, the pc must be against SNYs, cos there was errors in logging in, hence we were late into the briefing room. Secondly, we did not really managed to introduce ourselves to all the CLs (not until we do it on the plane b4 boarding). For Kelly, she has a thirdly, which was carelessly leaving her handbag behind at the scanning area.

However, as the flight progressed it turn out to be pretty cool cos the peeps in both galleys, esp mine, was very friendly and my mentor was nice too. She was reasonable, helpful and taught me alot of things. It was also a blessing that the load was only half full, i.e. 150+ pax. Another crew whom worked in the J class, Jocelyn told me that back in March, she did the same pattern of flight and it was full load to and fro. Phewz....

What more can i ask for? Absolutely grateful for the nice crew and light load.


Just hours before reporting time, i went to Bugis for lunch with Pi. While waiting for him to arrive, there i was slurping my red milk tea and doing last minute revision of the concoctions.


View from the Langham hotel room, the morning before we left. Can you see? It's so "dead". Feels as if i'm starring out of M Hotel in CBD on a Sunday morning. haha...


Reached the hotel at about 12 noon NZ time. But we're tired after working overnight, so we took a nap til 4 pm b4 heading out to explore on our own, determined to get the most out of AKL when we can. It was dizzling all day long.

Luckily Kelly read the map correctly and we managed to find our way to the "town" @ Queens street. We got so excited when we spotted this "Pasar Malam" look-a-like place that reminds us of home.



Starbucks! It seems like everywhere i go i'll be looking out for one. Kelly tried their white chocolate drink, something unique we won't find in Singapore. For me, i just wanna fill my stomach with something that won't go wrong: my all time favourite from SB - Vanilla Latte!



Not sure what's this building, but this seems to be a performance theatre for "Broadway". Stomp is gonna perform there =)



Shucks, didn't know how to adjust for night photography. This Metro building looks really charming there and then. By the way, when i took the pic, it was 5+ pm barely 6 pm lor. And it's so dark already.


The Metro building again, but with the Sky Tower in the back drop.



The town hall. The lightings gives a very Fullerton feel. Didnt go in to see see either =(


Headed back to hotel at 6+ pm and call up everyone to invite them for dinner, which they have actually made plans for. But it's a custom for juniors crew to do that, as usual.

The 10 of us who went to dinner @ this "Ding Hao" Cantonese restaurant frequented by all crews, inclusive of tech crews. The mutton there tastes yuuuuuummy! No weird smell or taste like we usually find here in SG. Must be the grass there... Like they always say "The grass overseas are greener" Haaa...

I think IFS Lee is gonna be 1 of the best IFS i'll meet ba... He's really friendly, approachable and forgiving. Totally no air or too much formality. But of cos i wont wanna take advantage of that or take him for granted, otherwise i get to lose too hehe... *secret*

After dinner some of us continued to the Sky City casino.
Who says i cant bring camera into a casino? Haha... The wonders a camera phone does =P

During this time, i got to know Jocelyn better =) She shared with us some of her experiences in her 2 years of flying. Like how she was 1 of those affected during SARS in the middle of training, and how sometimes she venture out alone out-station cos noone wants to go, for instance Disneyland..... Sad right? Hiak.... She's also contemplating whether to resign and further her studies with SMU or SIM, full or part time.....

Come to think of it, i still think it's the right choice to have completed my tertiary studies and jump into this industry. At least i have no more worries about having to stop half way and get my degree. Unlike my parents, they were still nagging a little about my wasted degree the day before i left for AKL..... Zzzzzzz..... I begged to differ seriously.

The Sky Tower from the bottom. Wanted to go there but it was too late and a little ex to visit. Cost NZ$35 to go up. So i did a dangerous little stunt, by running onto the middle of the cab drop-off point to capture this pic.

On the back to the airport. Wanted to catpure as much of the greenery of NZ we all heard so much about. But it looks like a not-so-good attempt. Hiak...



The flight back, i was more confident to meet the Pax. Not as shy as the first time. In addition, the 2nd set of crew was great too.

Initially it's a little weird for me, as we were just getting to know the first set of crew and now i've gotta thread on new water again. Abit sian....

Thank god, i fit in fast and the crew warm up to me soon as well. I like my 2nd mentor even more actaully Hehe.... She's more ... erm... approachable i guess? And less strict... Good and bad ba.... The load was slightly heavier but i learnt more things on the 2nd flight. They took the time to teach and talk to me nicely =)

Although i prefer my virgin flight, i think i benefited more from the second flight.

Like i said earlier, I was expecting to be zapped. We did ganna "zapped". But guess from who?

Haha... i was surprised too.

It was the Captain aka the tech crews. Just because we didn't introduce ourseleves to them...

Okay, i admit my mistake. Yes i should have the courtesy to introduce myself. But us being SNYs wasn't aware of this practice my dear.... They make such a big issue out of it, complained to the IFS, until all cabin crew on the flight knew about it and IFS has to come and ask us go up to the cockpit after take-off to intro ourselves. There the chinese captain "lectured" us a little. After we landed, the IFS asked us to stay behind and talked to us again about this issue. *Dots*

KAOZ. I know captain very big la. But it just says how much you guys crave for recognition lor... One which you will never earn. If you want respect, earn it. Don't command it.

Hong Kong tmr. Will get 1 full day in HKG. Yay yay yay! Will make up for the loss time in AKL . Hehe~

Right, time to crash again...

As time ticks away, my heart goes " Pi Boom Pi Boom Pi Boom Pi Boom Pi Boom..."

Just woke up from my "forced" nap... It's a overnight flight. Cham, i got sleepy @ 12 + last night, how to stay up lor ??? Haiz... Let's hope it all turn out well...

K gotta run... My luggage still in a mess Hiak....

Auckland, here i come...

1 more day to go

I have a million and one things to remember.

It's almost like having Foundation, Fleet Training and SEP exams all together.... Information overload.... Haiz...

Thankfully we have an off day today. There's so much preparation to be done: choking on the notes is one, packing our bags, change $ and beauty preparation. All the girls are making a mad rush to do their last minute beauty prep today, i.e. Eyebrow Trimming, Threading, Manicure, Pedicures etc....

Had Wet Runs for the last 2 days. We had to bring our full uniform to STC and go through wet runs in it. I realised it is quite difficult to walk properly (at least for the Chor-Lor me la) in the Kebaya without giving people a peek-a-boo. Not unless you take minute steps like the Geishas Hehe =P

Although wet runs still wasn't much of the real thing, at least it puts us through the motion. The rank trainers' tips are very helpful indeed, it gives me more strength and a rough expectation of the Leadings. Still, it boils down to how much you know about the black and whites.

I feel better after speaking to Gen and Paul, whose SNY experiences were good. For at least i'm comforted that there are good people around. It's gonna be based completely on my luck.

LUCK, where are you?

Drawing near

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.
Mark Twain [Samuel Langhornne Clemens] (1835-1910)

To different people, it can mean worlds part. For me, perhaps @ the moment i just wanna see as much of the world as possible.

Haiz..... The weekend just flown by without achieving much, except preparing the cards for 66 crews for all my B747 SNY flights. 4 more days.... i can't believe it....

Completed the cards @ Kelly's place in the afternoon. After which we headed down to Suntec to look for cold wear. She didn't get anything cos both of us agreed that there'll be better bargains around. We just need more time. Never rush into buying. However, i bought a long-john. I thought it's 30 bucks only, so i choose the better one, the wool material. It turned out to be 53+..... Duh... Bo bian, guess it's the 1 and only i'm gonna invest in for all cold weather, unless it tears.

Still, i have a bad feeling that i'm gonna be under-prepared for the cold in Auckland.

Was in Orchard next to change currencies. Damn, the Lucky plaza rates wasn't the best as recommended by the majority lei....

As we were walking to the MRT, we notice 2 ladies on our left amongst the crowd. Both are well-groomed, poised, dark-haired with big curls, branded bags and lastly red toenails. Haha.. what else? senior crew lor =P Then we looked at ourselves. Clean-faced, in flip flops and spects. We laughed, thinking we must be the most unglam ones around. Hehe...

Alright, am running late... Gotta go paint my nails......

Day 50

Yeah!!!
Finally got the new phone @ only $38, with a continuation of plan of course =P
I realised i've never paid more than $100 for all my phones.


Super sian, cos it's back to wayanging days... Haizzzzzz...........

Velvet pics, long long time ago... Everyone look so different, so much prettier without the stooopid makeup. Haha .... But "Mr Kiasu" - David commented that everyone looks beautiful under that kind of lights =9 LOL



Wao! Mei Nu (s)! Celine's really pretty when she dresses to kill manz =) Nah.... she's off the market liao....



No mood and energy for the next one yet.

Day 49 - B747 visit

"Ladies & Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking ....."

For once in my life, i fulfilled a little dream of mine =)
Thanks John, for remembering and volunteering to capture the moments in the cockpit.

Looking @ the number of buttons on the console, it did freak me out haha...



Hehe... Went for our B747 aircraft visit today. Had the whole aircraft to ourselves without worrying about getting into other crew's way =)

Perhaps it could be our only chance to hang out in the first class.
All of us couldn't resist playing around with the facilities, esp the spacebed in business class and the 180 degree bed in first class. First time trying out the electronically controlled bed. I lay there on a first class bed and wondered if i'll ever pay so much for this chair? =P

2 "tai tai"s on their shopping trip to Europe =P

Anyway, we were soooooooooo close to losing Cheryl. Thank god that the miracle happened. She'll remain a Batch 863-er.

Johnathon, myself and Cheryl. Kaoz, i think i look like a little girl girl on her first trip to disneyland... >.<


And of course lots of fun snapping away... "Suah Ku" ma =P

David, who looks a little like "Chen Tai Meng", as well as Mr Kiasu when he smiles. Both are comedian anyway Hehe....

Kelly, my SNY buddy - my shoulder to cry on in a foreign land.

The ever green "Gao Xiao" king and queen.

Extremely drained of energy cos of incessant tests this week. Luckily today is the last day. But that means tmr we are going back to Ah Tam...... Plus red nails and blue eyes again.... Sian, Zzzzzzzzzzz

Getting really worried about SNY cos Karen shared with us her experiences this morning. Perhaps she was 1 of few unfortunate ones to ganna zapped so badly, but @ least that gives us better mental preparedness for it. She gave us lots of useful tips that we didn't know.... Haiz... 16 people, 16 different style of working, same service.

kk, gotta go crash. Sleep deprived.

Day 48

"It's all in the mind. Half the battle's always determined up there."

Somehow when i said this, it reinforces itself. How true it is in everyday life.
I love motivational books (when i have the time =P), it empowers with me so much energy to live each day as if there's no tomorrow. Today is a gift.


Sian, there's gonna be B744 test tmr. Rumored to be harder. Bleah~


Was out with JC dude, KS, last night. Haven seen him for half a year and so much things have changed. Decided to make full use of my crew pass, so went to the nv-go-wrong choice: Fish & Co. to get 10% discount on food. Tried to ask if Sakae has that privilege for crew? But i think the waitress didn't understand what i meant, cos she gave me that blur look and said that discounts are only given to UOB and OCBC cards holders...... =/ Anyway, spent the entire night updating him about my career swap, while he fill me in with his break-up.

That was what came as a shock to me. I thought they were going strong. 5 years. But time no longer matters when he relates what actually happened, i seriously think he will be better off with other girls. There are much better ladies around. Honest! I expressed my stand rather straight forth to him too, i know it sounds crude, oh well... =P

However, what i think is what i think. He's only to decide what's good for himself.

I admit my opinion is rather biased based on his one-sided story. But when fundamental values differ, no matter how long a couple has been together, it becomes auxillary. Communication is vital!!! The next relationship killer: taking for granted-ness. We are guilty of that.............
Showing appreciation once in a while can make huge differences.

My self-take master piece. Heh~

His.

Think i'm a better photographer than him =P


Yeah! Meeting pi later, miss talking to him =)

Day 46 - Basic SEP Theory Exams

SIANz
Despite setting 2 alarm clocks to ring @ 3+ am to chiong my last part of exam preparation (I know i've weird study habits, but that's me =P ), i overslept.

My dad shook me awake @ 7.10 am asking me, "today u no need to work ah?" I stared @ him then at the ceiling, wondering is it Sunday or Monday? When realization dawned me, almost wanted to cry, cos that means i haven got time to finish those parts i have yet to cover. =(
That old, old song of AQUA kept ringing in my head as i hastily rushed to get out of the house, and how i wish i could make it happen - "If only i could turnnnnn back time, if only i had .... "


DOUBLE SIANz
I always believe that Oversleeping is a bad omen to the start of a day. And why does it have to be today ????? Haiz.........

Why? Cos i fail my SEP test, by 1 question. *Yawnzzzzzzzzz*

Not sad, not disappointed, just plain SIANZ.


Tripple SIANz
Gotta retake. Hopefully can squeeze in tomorrow pls.... Since we are having practical exam anyway. Really dun want to drag, as the thought of having it sometime later just sucks and fleet training may have more tests to worry about too.....

It's gonna be another set of questions, meaning gotta memorize more.... But Ms Riana is very nice indeed, shant say more =P

*********************************************

Sometimes, being anxious about exams or tests is exceptable.
But when one gets overly paranoid, till it affects surrounding people whose trying to concentrate, it gets really irritating. And guess what? She's the one who always getting full marks. Look who's always saying scare this, scare that, and don't want to join us in this and that cos she wanna study.... LOL.

I hardly even flinch when i knew i fail. What's the big deal? =P
Don't get me wrong. Knowledge of the safety procedures IS important. However, i don't see the need to harp over it. Pi always teach me to take things with a pinch of a salt and move on, I'll be a happier person like this ^.^

KK, gotta go back and mug.

New Found Hobby

Jia Lat.....

I realised i've pick up an expensive new hobby: Shopping for his wardrobe.

Just bought a new Zara shirt but found myself "aiming" again =P
I get this sense of exuberance from looking out and buying new clothes for him. Business shirts, tees, shoes, pants, and soon-to-be, ties. Know nuts about matching ties to shirts, but i'll learn =9

It's so easy to dress man. Adding 1 new item into his collection makes such a big difference, whereas for ladies, perhaps you need a whole new set from head to toe to feel it. Maybe that's why i am starting to enjoy shopping for him, it makes me excited. Myself? I'll need a big budget to feel the kick.

There's no way to stop this new hobby. The only solution? Ahem~~ Give me a big allowance ba ^.^

Swimming is important!

"There's nothing fair about who lives, who dies"

Watched POSEIDON yesterday.

Went in not knowing what to expect. But when the rouge wave came within 10 mins after the show began, i was like "Huh? So fast? Then what will they show for the next hour ++?"
However, the rest of the show on their escape turns out alright, pretty good in fact, i was gripping on to Pi for most of the remaining hour or so.


When a rogue wave capsizes a luxury cruise ship in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, a small group of survivors find themselves unlikely allies in a battle for their lives. Preferring to test the odds alone, career gambler Dylan Johns ignores captain's orders to wait below for possible rescue and sets out to find his own way to safety. What begins as a solo mission soon draws others, as Dylan is followed by a desperate father searching for his daughter and her fiancee--a young couple who hours before couldn't summon the courage to tell him they were engaged and now face much graver challenges. Along the way they are joined by a single mother and her wise-beyond-his-years son, an anxious stowaway and a despondent fellow passenger who boarded the ship not sure he wanted to live but now knows he doesn't want to die. Determined to fight their way to the surface, the group sets off through the disorienting maze of twisted steel in the upside-down wreckage. As the unstable vessel rapidly fills with water each must draw on skills and strengths they didn't even know they possessed, fighting against time for their own survival and for each other.

When the show ended, i have not much of an idea of who the characters are in their lives. But nevermind.

Which is why we started comparing Titanic and Poseidon after the show. I like both and i can't say which is better. Titanic focus on romance, some character development and the ugly side of humanity, while Poseidon did more on the stunts and the wits during their escape.

I like Poseidon, perhaps cos am going through safety and emergency classes now, those knowledge comes in handy. Things i would not normally have got the chance to learn. The 6 of them who came out alive are damn lucky - a combination of courage, determination to survive, fighting fear, physical strength, wits, practical knowledge, teamwork, ability to think on your feet, sacrifices and faith.


And guess what i did today?

I went swimming this morning. After watching Poseidon, i strongly advocate for swimming!!! It's a NECESSARY survival skill. Hahaha. And i was trying to hold my breathe underwater for as long as i could =P

Started swimming last weekend and i could feel tremendous difference in my energy level during the past week. Exercise is a must! But i'm apprehensive cos i'm afraid it will build too much body mass for me. Hiak...

Shucks, my uniform seems to be very tight. Looks like i gotta control my diet. I am such a gutton @ times. Haiz......

Day 45

" Yeah, i have stop knowing how to dream...."

What an eventful day....

(1)
Cheryl sprained her foot last night and it's terribly swollen. It is so bad that she can hardly walk and has to be piggy-backed around on Johnathon mostly. Mood in class is comparaively low because C was sobbing whole day. Poor thing, my heart goes out to her. Maybe she was touched by our concern, but for certain, she's worried about graduating in time with the batch and a whole string of other possibilities/disasters:
No SEP = No SNY.
Miss 1 day of SEP or nv pass a test, you may have to restart the whole course.
Skip 1st SNY, gotta re-schedule it and do it ALONE!
Gotta "Bang Seh" your buddy for SNY, you'll feel rotten too.

I empathize with her, cos i was almost in her situation when i thought i contracted eye infection - thinking how F*** up it is all gonna be, how "sway" and everything. Poor Sally too. I hope C will recover in time.

I wish upon a star for a miracle


(2)
Already abit down, partly cos didn't get to speak to Pi b4 i slept last night. Became more sad when this came because i'm guilty about it.

"Bi, I don't wish to end up 1 day when you don't even have time to talk to me... And all i can do to find out more about your life is to read your blog"

*wail*


(3)
There's a price to pay for being 1st on the name list.

The instructor assessing Ms Rianna told her that the girls in the class aren't familiar with the commands, and i have to be that guinea pig to prove it right. WTH, how embarassing. NVM, i sacrifise for the sake of the class ba....

But luckily, if not for that scolding, it wouldn't have drill into us the commands.


(4)
Virgin Facial 11 05 2006 =P
Yup, finally went to the beautician recommended by Kelly, then by wendy. It was @ Orchard shopping centre. The building is damn "Lok Cork"; perfect place to use as a set for the filming of eerie, korean horror movies. Thus i wasn't expecting much.

But! To my surprise, the place/clinic is very poshly done up. Honestly, i told Wendy that it feels quite like a beauty salon in the Paragon building instead.

Consultation's good and she is really professional. So much better than the advice given by Marilyn. Sianz, i'm recommended to do the peeling. 2 dollar signs $ $, did a jackpot-like thing and sprang into my eyes when she did a brief calculation. Haha... On top of that, she suggested a whole range of her products that i may want to use according to my skin condition. KAOz, that means i may have to ditch all the still-so-new Lancome products i have invested in for the past 2 months >.<"" if i am to try Janie's. WTF, i dunno what to trust now.

The facial was SHIOK! 1 hr 15 mins of being treated like a princess hehehehe.... Let's face it, women are born to be pampered this way. Ahem~ *hint hint*


(5)
Wasn't expecting this to surface, but it did anyway. Just DL about how things went so far in our life. Still discovering and communicating expectations. @ least i let you peek-a-boo into my doubts b4 they start to form a deeply rooted seed of discord.

I want you to have the best. Once in a while i would like to be pampered and delighted in the way i enjoy too.

I'm sorry i'm such a negative person. Which is why i'm drawn to you. Acid versus Alkaline.

Think positive Erene. Live positively.

Day 44 still

SHUCKS!!! Overspent again >.<"""
Bursting my budget...... Forgot all about Mother's Day treat and Dad's present.

Bought my cabin bag from Samsonite, almost all new crew uses this model i think =/ Have to come up with a way to differentiate mine subtly. Spurged on a Zara gift that i have been thinking about for very long, @ least 1 or 2 months?

Heh~ and i'm still considering these for myself =P Got the link from Wendy and Yun. www.footshopping.com Select Singapore. I know the models are pretty outdated, but heck! as long as i like will do. Of course these will have to wait awhile, gotta find birks-lover kakis to accumulate the $249 before we enjoy the free shipping. Meanwhile i'll take the time to choose. So far only Cheryl's interested.

My top 3 choices. If i can't make up my mind, perhaps my impulse will result in 3 new pairs of them in my shoe closet. =P *Pi don't hit me!*

Kaozzzzzz.... I've really have gotta control my spending habits, in future. Remember Lasik first ba.... Hmmm...

Did ditching exercise today. Which meant swimming in lifevests and antiquated Kebayas. I always thought that the old SQ girls belong to the rounder side, but i was so wrong. Had a hard time fitting into those old Keba's. Oh oh!!! Must get nice undies, otherwise when you climb up rafts after ditching the a/c, the last thing you want others to notice is that unglam underwear =P Pray that it'll nv happen anyway.

2 incidents happened during the practical part today surprised me. Surprised, neither shocked nor happy or anything. Girls who looked strong on the outside have their soft spots too =) 2 of them broke down, in different ways for different reasons. Not being belittling, just reminding myself we are all human too.

2 Months together. Still discovering. Stablizing. Real selves are emerging. Some, for some reasons, fade into the background....

Day 44

Stooopid. Blogger was down last night.

Anyway, we learn about fire fighting yesterday.... The Oxycrew, one word :Yucks!

Head for Orchard after class together with a couple of others to take a look at the cabin bag. Darn, when we reached there the shop was closed, must be the HUGE rain. Yeah, very very very heavy rain in the central last evening. I think lightning struck some electrical box or something cause several traffic lights in the city to be down. And it's flooded everywhere.

Met up with Dennis for dinner @ Crystal Jade. Food, to me la, really suck. Haven seen him for about a year since graduation last May. It's a rare opportunity that he's back in Singapore for a week from work in Bangkok. I'm 1 of the few friends he kept in contact with from NUS.

Come to think of it, it's the same for me. Had only a handful close friends from Uni, and they are all i knew since Year 1. Haha, i guess when you get senior and more senior, you get more tired of putting on that eager-to-please mask/face to get to know people. It hard to being with, when you hardly get to see that person anyway. Some how it seems to relate to SIA too Hehe =P But then again, i'll remember what my FIN friend told us, "As you get more and more senior, you tend to get lonely, so do ask your seniors out." Haha, roger that! Just keep trying =)

Am very delighted to have an old friend commented that i've changed for the better - look much better than i was in school. Heh~ Can't really see that change in me. But 1 thing for sure, even my ex-colleagues said that i had slimmed down since my entry to exit. Hehe. I could now fit into that size 8 MNG pants i bought long long time ago, duh enough to think i was thin enough to wear it. I was not, and had to squeeze out every inch of it. Eeeks!

But now, i could slip it on, nicely =P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJRrYaEI2UA

Ooooooooooooo...... They certainly will make good christmas gifts ;P
Side note to the video: when Tyra Banks first came into the commercial, her "excite me" went very flat! I was like "huh? Out of place lei...." The others were all sensual, with those husky and purring voice. *Eeee, very turn on....* opps =P

Okie, i give up. Help ranz! How do you insert the video? i tried whole afternoon to embed but i always ganna error messages. Zzzzzzzzzzz
:''''(

Day 41

Bad ventilation in the classroom, worsened the drownsiness in me. Think i need the sleep, i can feel the heat rising.

Went Luggage hunting after class today. Taka was my intended stop because of UCB. It was a disappointment, nothing interest me there. Headed for Gao Ji restaurant in Bugis after that. Realized that i tend to go there for the wanton soup noodle whenever i am not feeling well. Absolutely love the soup base, even though the wantons' below average hehe =P

Dropped by Seiyu @ bugis to check out luggage, wasn't expecting to find anything, but to my surprise, the perfect orange cargo bag caught my eye. The colour, the size, the interior, the shape, the handle, the quality, the wheels and the price etc. So many factors to take into considerations. Darn difficult to find the ideal one. Anyway, the 1 top on my list now is a cheery orange Lojel cargo. Am afraid to buy now cos i heard Kelvin mention something about seniors liking to zap juniors with too-loud-colour cargo bag >.<" I don't want to invite additional zapping lor ...

First Aid earlier this week. Bandaging "Fractures". Shun the camera cos i'm wearing specs ! =9


Dunno the point of this photo, but it makes me wonder if i should go for soft rebonding. See my ponytail? what a ugly shape.... Completely clueless about what to do with my hair =X

Day 40 - SEP commence

It is soooo me.
Whenever i try and try and try, and things don't work out, i'll just let go, let it be, and sink into my own world.

Been down because of a rather weird reason. Besides Band of Brothers i mean, but that show kicked it off. Sounds stupid and childish to begin with, but not when you are caught in it and not wanting to affect anybody else.

Saw the problem from the very beginning, but well, no harming trying right? 3 months have flown by and nothing improves except the superficial thingy. Forgot it. No point trying anymore when the frequency, chemistry and most importantly sincerity aint there.

Felt so pent up, almost died of chest pain (Haha, JK and CHOY!!!). Finally confessed to Wen today, but on a very cautious note cos i'm worried about the consequences. Now that i have unloaded it, feels soooo much better.....


That aside. Yeah !!!! Found out that our 777 SNY are out too! Hehehehehe

Was crossing my fingers for Shanghai and TADA ! I got my wish!
Will be going to Perth and Shanghai in June.
Lots of homework to do =)

Glad to clear another test today.

Day 39

I feel so blessed.....

To have started my first job with SIF and to have work together with Lee Mei, Lois, Yvonne and Prisca. Although it was a short stint, i've benefited alot from them. They are such nice people, pretty rare to find them outside. So sweet, so caring and protective =) Perfect environment to bud for a green leaf like me. Which is why i "Fu Tang Dao Huo" to go and meet them this evening, though i have not studied for my first aid test tomorrow. =P
(i'll try to get chinese software in future, this com KoYak already, no point investing)

In outside world, it's "Everyone for themselves". Hiak...

Been very tired, lethargic for the past dunno how many months.... Leisurely complained in the morning and Andrew has to say "You know why? EXERCISE!"...............

I knew that all along, but haven really get down to doing it because whenever i want to start, something crops up. Injured my foot sometime last month (cos of my Chor Lor-ness) thus no sports that needs to use the foot are allowed. When i plan for a swim, period comes. And recently, conjunctiva infection. *Yawnz*

I think gaming/ online gaming cultivated this laziness cells in me. Been a couch potato ever since i got hooked with it. Even though i've stopped gaming now, i have loss this active old me. Doubt if i can regain the kind of stamina i had in JC. *pity*

Day 38

I can't explain why... No term in my dictionary can elaborate....

The show's "haunting" me. Not literally haunting, but there this lingering effect, so much so that i slipped into a state of shock during first aid class when the instructor was going through burns, fractures, head injury etc. Couldn't take it anymore as it induces flashback of the show, esp the horrible parts. I started tearing non-stop discreetly (thanks to the rich tear glands i have), after feeling spacey for the whole day....

Haiz... Am okay now though, after getting distracted. Hopefully i'll be able to face the first aid booklet later, it's full of disgusting pictures. Gotta to snap out of it.

Don my frameless glasses for STC today, and nobody, yeah NOBODY could recognize me. All said that i looked very "Si Boon", like a teacher. Kelly's comment came as a delight, "Erene you are full of surprises!" Eh... i like that, i like surprises Hehe~ There's 2 ways to look @ it and i shall think it's more of the +ve one =)
Tried on countless funky, rectangular frames b4 and all Pi said i look like is "Miss Ching!!!" >.<" Am i in the wrong profession? =P

Oh, Ezer ganna conjunctiva infection too. Is it contagious? Hmmm....

Ling, your true color is Black!

Your color is black. The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines. Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust us, it won't kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of professionalism and achievement, which means it's clearly the color for you.

Dunno how true is this ??????
