Place-sick.
Management-sick.
Attitude-sick.
Looking back to those days where my skin is flawless. Now things changed, instead of getting scars from childhood, I get it at work. Great.
Anyways, it's been 1 year, 3 months, 1 week, 3 days I've been setting my arse here in Singapore. Got enough of the negativity and stuffing myself with positive thoughts. I <3 Singapore, despite the pain, anger and bad memories it has given me, made me stronger/wiser than I should.
Every sunrise means 1 day is down, and everyday is a countdown to my goal. Nearer and nearer.
Yes, I love my job. No complaints. I chose to walk this path, and there's no turning back. Every lesson learnt is planted in me, growing to teach me how to be a better person.
Nobody said it was an easy job :)
Today's standby called up reminds me of my delay in Kuala Lumpur 6 days ago.
Was supposed to do a 4 sectors Kuala Lumpur which means I'm off to Kuala Lumpur twice a day. After we landed in KLIA, we did our cleaning as usual, well for our airline, Kuala Lumpur is the only station we dont have any cleaners with and we gotta do our own cleaning. Yes, it sucks, but not that hard of a job since KL is just a short trip and not much of a mess that passengers can do, well except for the part where newspapers are everywhere especially if it's a full flight.
So we're done with all the cabin stuffs and we're ready to rock the sky. Passengers are all on board and blablabla, Captain said something's wrong with the aircraft which will only lead to few stuffs. Delay, complaints and... more complaints. One of the main reason why we'll get tonnes of complaints, cause we are carrying business people that's why! And as expected, complaints. "I have a meeting to catch up with", "I have a transit flight", etc.
One even pressed the call bell, I attended it and asked, "Anything Sir?", Him: "What are we waiting for? How long more will this take?", and I replied "There's some technical problem with the aircraft sir, Captain is trying to figure it out with the engineer, I believe it'll take around 15-20 minutes :)"
ARE YOU DEAF?
Announcement was made loud and clear by the captain earlier. I wonder where they kept their ears? :)
Sorry Dear Mister and Misses. We never wanted any delay as well cause we miss our beds. Blame fate for your bad luck. Not us.
So half an hour passed, few passengers were moved to another flight one by one, two by two, and soon, the whole aircraft is empty and left only crew behind. Sighs of relieves. And here we go again with the cleaning =.=
So what actually happened was, 2 of our wheels need to be changed, because one had 0 pressure and the other one was affected by it. I didnt really understand, and dont even know whether I got it right, but the point is, we gotta change 2 wheels, and there's only 1 spare wheel in KL. Guess what, the other wheel has to be sent over from Singapore. One wheel takes half an hour to be removed and all. 2 wheels = 1 hour = more delay.
Sooo we landed in KLIA at 5.25pm, another aircraft of ours landed around 9.25, taking some of our angry passengers back to where they're supposed to be and took off without us while we looked out of the window at em. All those waiting really wasted our time, our day, our allowances. Longest KL flight ever. All of us landed in Singapore at 12.30am, and I myself have to wake up in the afternoon and off to Cambodia.
That was so far, my longest delay in aviation world. Not looking forward to a longer one.

Been abandoning this good old blog for a while now, it's time for an update, all because of this quote that I saw somewhere that goes like this "Dont be too confident when someone tells you they love you, the real question is "until when?", because just like seasons, people change, and so do feelings". That striked me hard =.=
Made me go like "I must put this up somewhere! Not fb cause I just updated my status and will only put up my own idea, so yeah, blog shall it be :}"
Went through some hard time remembering my own password, cause there's too many accounts, email addresses plus I've been neglecting this blogging thing for months, not as active as before. Blogging used to be like, a must and it's as long as a short story. Now Facebook is my only hope =.=
That phrase somehow left me puzzled. I agree, but somehow, I dont fully agree to it. It involves trust when a person says they love you. But too much trust leads to nothing, but a hard slap on your face if it was just a false hope. This is when you use both your mind and heart at the same time. Dont let the mind control your heart, feelings is different from what you're thinking. You might get angry with a person, but somehow, your care towards em wont change a bit cause it's your mind that's angry, but deep down in your heart, you still care :)
Crap.
Neways today, was in major shock. A person who tend to be known as a stern person, actually changed 180degrees? Totally different. Made me wonder the whole flight. And I sort of figured out the reason why. Somehow in life, losing a person may change you to be another person. It can be positive, or negative. But today, what I saw and felt was a positive aura. Very. I feel happy for that person. Life is better if you take things smoothly instead of being too much of a perfectionist. It gives you nothing but headaches. Be flexible, and for sure you'll live a happier life :]
If everyone can be like such, we're on our way to World Peace. But I know, it'll take AGES. Keep praying :]
I realise that I need more time than I did before this. An incident that makes me smile just by the thought of it until today. It was memorable. Yet fear tend to hang around the corner to haunt me. Fear of losing that smile while thinking bout it, and change into tears. Try to snap myself out of this thought and today, that particular phrase appeared on my screen, which made me agree to it.
Life is funny. In a way :]
I am strong because I know my weaknesses. I am alive because I am a fighter. I am wise because I've been foolish. I laugh because I've known sadness :]
