in copenhagen, it's so so nice weather there. though summer, but it's not hot at all .... really love it. the place is so europe.... haha meaning not very much of high rise even in the town. many many old buildings being preserved.

this flight that i've done, was the best so far. the team people are so nice. much nicer than my own.... :P can chill out and have fun in the crew lounge in our hotel, playing cards, having desserts and surfing internet. woah.... went sightseeing together. no politics or whatever ... i guess the leaders of the flight makes a very important part of the flight. the way they lead don't sound authoritative at all. they take good care of their set of crew and respect each other. everyone worked hard on the flight to make it a nice and pleasant one. i'm really happy with this trip of flying so far ...

bought quite a few outfits there, from espirit, zara and other shop. the top there is really cheap. 30+ dollars for a long sleeve casual shirt. so happy shopping away... haha...

one thing is that in copenhagen, everyone travel by bicycle and legs. it's either they cycle or walk around the street. there're cars though. but some of them in very presentable attire, they cycle !! but anyway, it's nice weather that one would seldom sweat even cycling. walked a lot in copenhagen. the food there is very normal. we went to a vietnam restaurant to have our meals and frankfurters !!

the food there is pretty expensive. other than that it's nothing much. one frankfurter, hot dog, cost like 21 kroner. which is around 7 dollars... a plate of fried rice cost around 15 dollars. isn't it expensive ?? what to do .... life of a cabin crew is like that. we are paid to spent foreign currency ....

walked around 8 km to and fro to see the landmark of denmark. which is the mermaid. nothing special though. walked all the way to see the mermaid and walked back to the shopping district. feel nothing great about the landmark. haha anyway been there and done it. over it ....

hurray !!

now i know why one of my senior in my team says that he enjoy team flight so much. coz there's a few people in my team that makes it so unpleasant. feel so sad about my team. now when i start doing my team flight, i feel so dreadful and sad.

but nevertheless i did my jakarta trip as a guest star to the flight. it was really a super short flight. everyone is rushing for time. but it was really nice. enjoyed it. coz there's 2 pretty leading stewardess and chief stewardess.

though it's a short stay in jakarta, i enjoyed myself having a massage once i touched down and checked in the hotel, and then had a body scrub. not bad an experience. now i know why the girls like all these things so much. after the massage and body scrub, i went for buffet and dinner in the hotel restaurant. not very impressive. but it's just food. you know .... just to fill my stomach. coz hungry mah.

after food i went to have a drink with the pretty leading stewardess and chief stewardess. happily chatting till 11plus at night. then went back to sleep. and the best part. we need to wake up at 3plus in the morning !!  the fun and rewarding thing about working hard on flight is to have a nice set of crew ! there's not always difficult passengers. but it's the crew on flight that matters....

[ 12th jul 2004 ]

was at home the whole day sleeping from morning 7am till 5pm. haha spending time sleeping and getting my most important rest after the flight is important.

actually flying is a bit boring. people are thinking about the good things of flying is that we get to travel and see the world. haha but come back to think again, we don't really have much time in that country. at most only 1 or 2 days there. and we have to leave or even only 1 night rest and we'll be back in the next noon or morning.

we also have to spend money buy the currency of that country we're flying to leh..... what if it's pounds ? isn't it expensive even to eat there ?? and the fact is that normally after flight, we'll rest in our rooms coz we need sleep after a long 7 to 14 hours of flight. we have to pack our bags and prepare the stuffs and of coz our danger when we're out station ? there's good and bad about every job. i can only tell you a little about this. haha.

working environment is also a tough one in my line of work. coz people are too free and too bored, they'll start telling stories or gossiping. shall not elaborate. coz i'm not into all this. but so far, my team had been very nice and took good care of me. will be seeing them in my sydney flight. i'll write more.... so bored..... nothing to do at home ..... can someone date me out ???

shall save up and buy a laptop to watch dvds and dramas overseas. to keep myself occupied with entertainment and music. will start writing songs again .....

got back from london in the morning at around 9.25am arriving into singapore. very tired. cause of the stupid delay of 2 hours at london heathrow airport. weather is bad in london. though it's summer time. but there's storm. the days when i'm in london i was so sad that we have to stay indoors and not go very far. due to the weather.

in london it's around 15 degrees at night and 18 to 21 degrees in the day. pretty cooling all day. but the bad thing is that it's always raining when i'm there. so sad. it's my first trip to london and yet the weather did this to me.

anyway had went to the marks and spencer there. saw lots of clothes and stuffs, but didn't really buy much. i've bought some cook books for my uncle who's working as a  chef in genting highlands. walking along the busy shopping district of london, it's pretty cool. the clothes and fashion is never seen in singapore. so outdated and so cheapo kind of quality. when it's sale in london. it really meant sale. things going for like 10 - 30 dollars singapore dollars you can get some nice cheap clothes. but i didn't buy much. cause was very broke at the moment. especially spent on food.

was drinking with my crew in the hotel crew lounge, we met our colleagues who are doing some other flights into london also. talk cock, play cards and enjoy the cheap beer there. one thing is that the guiness stout there is nice. something like kilkenny. very smooth and not that bitter. 4 x 500ml cans for only like 12 dollars. cheap right ?!

as for food, nothing really special. it's western and chinese also. we went to a crew joint to have our lunch. was pretty awkward, sitting in the kitchen and eat. but nothing that we can do. coz there're people queuing out there. and that table is reserved for singapore airline crew and regulars only. coz most crew frequent there.

they had really nice clothes and shoes there. but back to the same thing, i've not much money to shop yet. first few months i've gotta save up first. spent like 50 pounds in two and a half day in london. haha you might say that i'm stingy. but i'm not !! 50 pounds is 150 singapore dollars. and we're eating normal things and a few cans of beer.

Pounds is expensive !! anyway shall be back in london to see the EPL stadiums from arsenal, chelsea and tottenham. in the near future. i'll be back !!

today, sleep till 3pm in the evening and got up to do my notes for my new team of flying colleagues. getting ready to fly on the 7th of jun with my very own team to london. thinking of the flight, 12 good hours of flight time to london. wonder how's it going to be.

was doing a little of tidying up of my own stuffs in my messy home. godness, i haven't been having enough time for myself. concentrated too much on my work. went out for a short meal and gone to devils bar to watch soccer for the first half of the euro cup.

after that i went out to airport to drop my notes, finally am done with my work.

preparing for graduation the whole of last 2 weeks and was doing some notes for my batch mates. so busy throughout the whole of june that i don't really have much time to update the whole website of mine. was terribly sorry about it.

went out for post graduation party yesterday. the whole lot of us were at cable car pub somewhere @ cuppage. finally can catch a breathe to relax and rest my mind. went to velvet after that. party till 3 am in the morning and went back home straight after that.
