[ 19th june 2005 ] after 4 days of business class training, the 4 days of 8-5 had ended finally. kind of miss the time that had spent during training. although is very tiring, gotta stay in class to attend lesson for 9 hours or should i say 7 hours excluding the break time. well .... this is the last time i have such course rostered with my batch mates since my basic training in sia, well we won't know when will we be able to see each other again .... cause all of us will have our contracted bond till end of this year .... i heard there's quite a few of my batch girls who are going to quit. also not sure who's going to stay well what i can is that this is all part and parcel of life... just another phase .... just finish my jamming session at 1.45am this morning .... jamming all the japanese songs that i've learnt especially on the days when i have course back in the company ... everyday after training in company, i headed home to practice singing the japanese songs that my band had chosen to play. very impressive..... i haven't been singing in a band for like almost 18 months already ... today again i had the feeling of singing in a live band before me .... although this might be our jamming session of my new band ..... but i can say that all of us had put in lots of efforts to make ends meet. and the group of 5 of us are very talented and hard working in music.... the passion for the music and the talent ... i really hope to see results in like max in 18 months time .... if not i think i shall just give up singing already .... well this will be my last 18 months singing or trying for commercial music. i don't know what the results will be .... but i guess worse comes to worst i shall cut my own album with my own money. after so many busy days in singapore and after our jamming session, i felt abit down ... because of the climax and the busy and tight schedules, suddenly completed all the things. it's a kind of feeling of lost !. feeling lost .... ok ... i will be departing for bombay today evening already ... shall tell you more when i come back from bombay ... good nite ...

[ 15th june 2005 ] the second day of my training... left home to be on cab with my friend. left at 7.30am. hopefully will reach there early. cause i'm afraid of bad weather jam and that could easily stuck us in the jam for more than an hour. slept at 2am last night .... had a beer. easier to sleep at night. because there's too many things on my mind already. just like the previous night i didn't sleep much before my first day of the class .... was tossing and turning till 4 am before i managed to fall asleep. it's like so many things to handle at one go. because of my existing old unit of aircon that i had in my current flat. it couldn't function anymore since the start of june or thinking back even during mid may. for many times we're hit by heat spell.... that's very painful isn't it ? well ... there're still lots of people without aircon .... but it's like for me i need it for some reasons. cuz to adjust my timing for my flight, i need to sleep in the day time or hot afternoon undisturbed in order to operate a flight with focus and concentration. to say my sleeping pattern is very messy and disrupted. having hard time to adjust. so impt thing is that i've to sleep at times when i'm not tired and when i'm just few hours before my flight. after the air con had broke down, i never had a good day rest at home at all.... yesterday around 7pm, the aircon contractor came to visit my place to see how to line the aircon in my flat using the current aircon ducting unit. and suppose to get the air con unit from akira. because of my mum's inefficient handling and my aunt working in akira's return from her business trip, because my mum cliam that she can get discount... sigh... that's the course of my delay... problem !!.... i find my life and time is always packed and stressed up with things around me. just because i'm capable of some things, i have to waste lots of time on these things that don't actually need my attention. meaning, can't i just concentrate on my music !?!!! saturday is already time for jamming session with my new band. and i've only learnt one japanese song. please save me .....

[ 14th june 2005 ]
today is a long day for me in training ... draggy .... attended lessons for 8 full hours with breaks in between .... but still very DRAGGY .... training for business class seems abit redundant for me .... cause i've tried working in business class a couple of times before ... and working in the real time situation really makes me learn better and understand alot more faster than the rest of the students in class. in class it's just like a gathering with my batch mates. some of us haven't seen each other for a whole year. just coincidence that we're rostered for the business class training together .... so time to catch up with each other .... talking about time .... again .... it really flies .... it had been a year since we last graduated from our basic training to fly in the airline as a cabin crew.... now it's already a year and whoops getting older each day by day .... getting more and more busy with my life .... there's really lots of things to do ... getting ready to help my family to take over my family car .... slowly loaded with more and more financial responsibility .... getting abit hard to get off this job ... i think if i wanna be an artiste, i've gotta be earning more than what i earn as a cabin crew ... which is twice or thrice of what my friends around me are getting ... facing more and more responsibility i really gotta manage my time and my stuffs really well .... actually am pretty stressed about the current situation that i'm in now ... my brother coming out to do a honors in music technology in laselle sia institution i've gotta support him in someway .... i gotta work hard and practice my vocals more in order to get me out of cabin crew job and get into the job that i want in arts .....
