desiree debonair

Yipee! I got pulled out for Mauritius! And guess what… for the whole trip; i’m working in first class. haha.. Double happiness! Pax is so nice and so easy to serve…. Just like a holiday trip for me! I’ve totally forgot that there’s such civilized pax around still. Reminds me so much when working in JAL. hee…
hmm… talking about Mauritius, it’s simply ‘Beautiful’! See my pics! The blue sky, blue-ish Green Ocean…. the soft white sand…. Heaven! Too bad, layover time is so short. But at least i did some snorkeling. It’s Mauritius! How can i miss that? Too bad i’m not allowed to dive. But i think snorkeling is more than enough. The fishy are all around me… so happy! Corals are everywhere but they seems dying to me. Asked the guide and he was saying because of the rain. The fertilizers from the hills are being washed into the sea. What a sad thing to hear. Corals are dying everywhere… soon there’ll be no home for little nemo. *sad*
My guide is so cute, i’ve told him i can’t dive down cuz my ear’s broke so can’t have any water in. And he went diving down practically picking up all sorts of corals, urchins, shells, sea cucumber for me to see clearly n touch it. haha… so sweet of him! And he offer me to eat some kinda shell thingy saying it’s good for asthma and it’s expensive in Japan. *yucks* Do i care? The looks of it looks pretty gross.
A long way to go…. Will be having standby on the 30th from 5am till 5pm. Hmm… Where will I be call up for? Haizz….. I’ve to bear with all these nonsense till the 12th. And my April roster isn’t fantastic at all. Didn’t have any days off before my leave and gave me Seychelles which I so much wanted to go but I can’t. haiz… need to swapped it away. Which leave me with a London, Kuwait and Jeddah! Eeekks… Jeddah! Kuwait! Omg!
I think I’ll MIA for a while…. Exams are coming and 3 assignments to be done! I’m really bad at organizing my time. Gosh! Need to rush now n Gambate des! I can do it! *hugs*

P.S: I can’t individually add the photo albums anymore. Sorry, will have to constantly check it out then! -> dEsIrEe SpY sOmEtHiNg….

dreams,
pull out for nice flts

Gosh! Actually, i’ve been back in dubai for days and i did nothing. Just going out and meeting up with friends here. hmm… And my assignment is going to on due soon…. 31stApril! hee… i’ve done nothing at all but surprising i don’t feel stress. Maybe when the dateline is getting nearer,i’ll start to panic. Well, typing this out, do create little butterflies in my stomache now. It’s not i wana drag it but because Chris (Daphne’s Friend) is here in Dubai for holiday. Daphne had gone MIA and Claire is going for her business class upgrade so that left me to accompany him around. hee.. *people who knows me well knew that i just wana have fun* ok, i admit it!
We went Fujairah today. It’s one of the seven emirates in UAE. And it’s so call the most beautiful state cuz it’s along the coast and the beach is superb. Well, it’s around an hour n half drive there. But you’ll never get bored with the scenery around you. It’s so different from those road trips we had in M’sia or anywhere else. Cuz you’ll get to see camels instead of cows and sand instead of grass. I miss road trips! =(
We went to Le Meridien Hotel beach. Actually, only hotel guest or restaurant patron is allowed to the beach. But we just bluffed them that we’ve made a reservation which we’d not. Hee… Anyway, didn’t really enjoy the beach cuz first there’s a sand storm and there’s little stingy creatures in the water and sand inside our drinks, can’t eat our tidbit cuz the sand, sand hitting on our body and it Hurts!! Well, this is the problem when there’s too much sand around. Other than that we’d a great time. Cuz it’s my first time meeting Singaporeans in Dubai who are not crew and they’re hilarious. Makes me so Singaporean again and remind me of Singapore so much which I really missed. They’re actually working around middle east and some of them Russia still. So they’ll be flying around as well. They’re so alike those Uncles you work with in S’pore and you’re the ‘Xiao Mei’ again. Haha…
These few days had been spending with Chris, Jane, Claire, Jiehui, Eileen and some others…. Knew that I should reject all of them but I just couldn’t open my mouth and say it. hmm… anyway, Chris is going back to Singapore tmr and I’ll have AIRPORT STANDBY tmr night. Starting from 1am! *sad* I just hate standby and airport standby just make it worst…. Imagine you’ll have to pack a luggage for all sort of trips. Long trip ones, cold weather ones, long flight hours ones… you just dunno what flight you’ll get. Pull that heavy suitcase to the airport and wait till you’re being called. And it’s a 99% sure thing you’ll get call up for airport standby. Cuz you’re all dressed and packed to go. Just imagine if you’re being pulled out for a turnaround. Gosh! I’ll be so mad! All I can is to pray for that S’pore/Melbourne flt which departs at 2.45am. Please chant for me. Hee…. K, I better sleep now. Tmr still have to send Chris off n that begins a long day for me. Laundry, emails, school assignment & exams, pack my luggage, facial, manicure, pedicure…… wonder if I can do all these…. But that’s the problem after few hours later, right now I better ZZzzzz……

dreams,
more days off

Wondering am i really back in Singapore? hmm… I’m sure am. Cuz every time I’m back sure to get some sickly bug. *sianz* Eh, but why my life suddenly becomes to quiet? Or i want it to be like this? Maybe… my disappearing act is coming again!
Nothing really much happen recently…just the usual stuffs. Slept till noon, savor mum’s cooking, go for classes, do assignments, watch tv!.. Yup, that’s bout it. And I’ve totally forgot that I’m still working and I’m on leave this time. Till, Moira send me an email saying I’ve got my next flight to New York. Well, not too bad my first flt of the reserve month is to New York. Hee… my sis were just asking when is my next nyc trip. Hmm… I guess she has a long list of ‘things to look out for’. Haha… Hope I can get Singapore flights on my reserve month! If not, I’ve to wait till a mth plus to be back and by then it’s my exams! Oh no….
Talking about exams, I’ve not yet got the picture of what I’m studying about. Hehe… only know the due dates for my assignments and dates for classes. One assignment down and three more to go. Hmm.. Actually, I like the feeling of sitting in the lecture hall and just do nothing but listening to the lecturer talk n talk n talk…. Amaze me on how those information, facts, terms are stored in their brain. Hee…

brainy

Just got back from Nairobi and later going to London in the noon. OMG! They actually use me to the fullest. Haiz.. bo bianzz. Need days off before my leave. And luckily they gave me so good news is that i’ll be back on the 10th! Hip hip hooray!
Well, all my hardwork in this ‘around africa’ trip hasn’t gone to waste. What a annoying trip! We are rostered to go Nairobi then to Dar er Salam and back to stop over at Nairobi for a day and then go striaght back to Dubai. But because of the fog today which cause the next crew ‘not legal to fly’, we had to do a shuttle from Nairobi to Entebbe back to Nairobi and then back to Dubai. My blood just boils on the last sector. I could smile no more. Lack of rest, shortage of crew, demanding passenger… i just hate everything!
Consolation is that i’m going on leave soon. Take me away from this place, please! Ok, better get packing for my next trip n Zzzzz…. time is running short!!!! Enough of complaining….

dreams,
a better today
