I left my heart in New York

After this looooooooong 8 days Frankfurt-New York, i can't say i'll be looking forward to the next one.

It's a combination of lotsa factors that it took a toll on me, physically and mentally.

SIN-FRA: Super light load 79 pax on Jumbo in EY. Guessed i got complacent and i must have stepped on her tail, as she started to picked on me. Just when i thought i could escape her after this sector i was so bloody wrong.

FRA-JFK: Worked with her husband. Suspected i may be on check so i have to perform. Why? Husband and Wife share information, i'm certain she asked her husband to look out for any mistakes i made. She even came down from 1st class to warn me that i better perform the next sector as she requested from boss i be placed with her again to give me a second chance. Sian.

JFK-FRA: So it's true, i'm working with her. Gave my best but yet she say i was trying to impress her. The word is "trying". Si bei Sian. Knew it was fruitless to try explaining myself to her cos her style demands absolute conformity. 3 continuous sectors, almost 6 days of stress coming from this couple, as if i was on check for all 4 sectors, coupled with other factors, i was on the verge of breaking down.

True enough, i almost didn't make it through the 2nd meal service. It didn't helped that i have some weird pax on my aisle and stress coming from other colleagues. I was shivering while collecting trays, and tears of a lost battle fought their way to my eyes. I have reached my limit.

Was wallowing in my misery when i heard the bad news on the bus in Frankfurt. We almost didn't make it out of JFK airport alive. Whatever i've suffered seems minute now, the fact i'm still breathing matters more than anything else.

Back at Marriott, i let it all out. Guess i just need to vent it somehow. Miss home terribly....

FRA-SIN: Yet another accident. Sian. Must be my mental exhaustion that lead my inability to think properly when going up the escalator with my cargo and cabin bag all together. Result? Rolling down a few steps on the moving escalator. Can you imagine? I almost died and my first thought is, 'Oh fuck, this is so unglam.' *Dots*..........................

Not to mention, although i've got my check, i still gotta work with her husband for the last sector on a full load. By the end of it all, i'm so freaking drained and traumatized.

And it did took a toll on me physically. As i'm writing now, i've just recovered from a 40 degree high fever in the afternoon.

Somehow, my job is killing me.


Frankfurt.
On the way to Penny mart and we saw this bakery shop with all the cakes for Halloween.



Spongebob cakes!!! Cute!

New York.
The first lunch i had in a japanese restaurant, without sleep after touch down.

Yum Yum~ =)
But for the rest of the day, without sleep, we were like walking zombies.


The only thing i love about my job is the ability to see the world. However, there's a high price to pay too. In life, you lose some, you gain some.


Times Square. It feels like Japan here.




View outside my hotel room on the 26th floor. A rainy day in New York.




Notice there were people on the building? Those are firemen. Cos a plank from the buliding got blown off and landed on the sidewalk. Gosh, i took this shortly after the few of us walked pass that road, returned to hotel from breakfast!

This later was on the news on the television.

Rockerfeller Centre.


Trump Tower


Empire State building.


My buys on the second day.
Favourite's the gold bubble jacket from H&M. As we were trying it out, a few people walked pass and commented that we look nice in it! Heh~
Coach bag's not for myself, but i feel happy shopping for it anyway =)


Ooooohs~ Abercrombie hottie!

Our free polaroid with the hottie.


The Chrylser building just right outside my hotel room!


Bright and beautiful Sunday, the day i'm to depart in the evening. Though it's bright and seemingly sunny, in fact it's more chilly than the rainy day before.




I love New York to bits.
Don't talk about the shopping. There's much to see. Just walking along the streets, feeling and breathing in the air of New York's is simply exhilarating.

Although this trip i didn't go anywhere much, no central park, no ground zero, no Statue of Liberty, but stick around my click as it kind of like a orientation to me. At least i know how to walk in the streets of New York now.

Thank god for the 4 of them this FRA-JFK, otherwise i would have gone insane without their company, as well as their support through this difficult 4 sectors.

Would love to return to New York for a holiday. Holiday only. Work wise, i can only pray that the next time will be a better one.
