Decision

Back to fly for almost 10months.. 2more months to go then contract going to end soon. Just realised that never even update my blog for months. 

For the past few months, flew to few new places. Just love my job so much.. However, kinda in a lost situation right now. Do not know what is the best for myself actually… Met a passenger last week who seated in business class. Felt so surprise that he was the only one who can read me well. According to him that I’m actually running away from my responsibility towards my family. What he had commented on me is true. And i felt so touch that he was actually giving me some useful advices on how to sustain a business. 

Liked what he said, maybe God maybe sent him over to pass a message and definitely i will remember our conversation forever. 

“Girl~ Please think about our conversation today. Remember 3 things: language, management skill, money management. Just master these 3 skills, you can handle one company well. And don’t waste your time here anymore.” 

What should i do? In the progress of asking company to give me full time position to fly, yet this passenger approached me and gave me such advice. To be honest, it does affect me. Flying is always what i love and enjoy to do, but family business is what i need and have to do. 

2more months….. Time flies fast… Should i stay or leave?

Back To Flying Life

Promised myself that... No matter how busy i am, i have to update my blog, especially if i have the chance to back to the flying life~ And yes! Finally i got the chance back to my old life that i have missed it so so so much...

It has been a month since i started flying~ Went to the places where i never been to and of course some places where i missed it so much, especially the food.... It is indeed a blessing for me that i get to join back my old company even though it is a different department now. But of course with a better pay :p

With different mentality now, even after few sectors of flight... No matter how tired i am, i am still feel happy and i am enjoy doing it :D

Thank you for giving me a chance again to get back my "wings" and met some nice friends and old friends whom i misses them a lot ^^

More food, more places, more travel to come soon...... :D

A Little Note About My Own Feeling After The Darwin Trip

Just got back from Darwin few days ago~ It was a mixed feeling trip actually.. Went there with Mr Dunhill Red, just followed him for a working trip~ It was actually just a 3days 2nights trip. According to Mr Dunhill Red that this trip was my anniversary gift since I never been to Darwin before and it was near to our 2years anniversary. So, he actually bought my flight ticket and brought me there.

After back from the trip, a lot of people actually asked me... "How was your trip?".. "How's Darwin?".. And my answer is always... "Darwin is a city that full of crocodile? Erm.. No time to really visit the whole Darwin. But i guess I prefer Brisbane and Melbourne more :p "

Yupp~ This trip was just a relaxing trip for me. Went there to grab some vitamins back for daddy and mummy as the supplements there are selling cheap with good quality which everybody knows it. Other than that, we were just wondering around at the city there... see sunset... do a little bit of sight-seeing at the city area... and not to forget my another mission.. do some grocceries shopping  for my stock :p

Why I said that it was a mixed feeling trip for me. Maybe it was just because I was under too much stress recently~ miss flying too much... This trip actually caused me to miss flying life more. The moment when I stepped into KLIA until the whole trip ended.. There were too much of the memories flowing out..  Seeing Mr. Dunhill Red's set crews which are also my ex colleagues, my friends... Feel happy to join them for that 3days trip yet feel sad that I can never don that kebaya anymore... Sigh.. Maybe I should have just keep myself looking forward.. Furthermore, we were having some little arguments during the trip~ Plus, some negative things regarding our relationship that I have heard from friend after back from the trip. It's making me feel more sad... I am just slowing losing out my self-confidence....

I am seriously feeling lost now.... :(

The Best Garlic Toasts in Town - Monte's Restaurant & Wine Bar

Finally... After 6hrs of journey, we are back to KL. Although it was already 2 days after the raya public holidainfo, there were still a lot of cars on the South-North Highway...

Before heading back home, daddy brought us to Bangsar Shopping Mall for dinner. A place where serves really good steak and garlic toast.. It is the best garlic toast that I ever had in town.

Due to I just received a call from MAS HR for the offer, so it is time for me to start my diet plan in order for me to fit in my old kebaya.  Yes!!! I am going to get my wings back with kebaya!!! So, starting from this meal, I can only allow to have something light every meal until I can fit in my old kebaya.. Yes! Don't laugh!!! I am serious.. I have only 2-3weeks time to lose weight >. <

So, although this restaurant serve real good steak, I only ordered mushroom soup and garlic toast for myself while daddy and mummy were ordered the pan grilled fish and prawn combo set and shared the meal together.

My favourite garlic toast in town. Can see that this toast is prepared nicely by the chef by putting the cooked garlic butter on top of the toasts. It was really tasted yummy!!! 

Big-headed prawn~ My another favourite..

A picture of mine to remind and as a comparison after 3weeks~~ Hahaha!!! We will see.... 

By the way, for your information, Monte has another branch in Klang and they are going to open up another new branch in KL, not quite sure where.. But it is good to see that they are having good business. The ambience, the food, the services... They do deserve it! ^^

Sharing: A story of a flight attendant

Read this story from one of the friend's page... It is about the story of a flight attendant~ Indeed, when I was still flying, seen a lot of things happened just similar to these stories. Yet, it depends on how the crews react and how's the crew choose to be~ I always say that flight attendant is a blessing job~ Whatever passengers need, crew offers~ Yes, crews are paid to do all these. But sometimes, when comes to the old people as in this story, the extra things that the crew do is not because they are pay to do this. It is just because in crew's mind, thinking that what if their parents travel and meet the same situation. Of course, they want their parents to travel happily as well. So, crew treats everybody just like their own parents or siblings~ Do it based on their own goodwill and sincerity.

After read this story, I realised that I almost forgot the thought that in my heart when I just started to fly. Flight attendant is a blessing job~ And how happy I am everytimes I managed to help those people who needed help~ And the faces that showing so much appreciation towards my helped~ If I ever have the second chance to fly again, I will be more happy to do so, not because of the money. It is simply just because of the fact of flight attendant is a blessing job~ 

一位空服員的故事

那是一班台北飛往紐約的班機，飛機起飛沒 多久，一位老先生忽然大小便失禁了 ！他的 家人既窘迫又嫌惡的叫他到洗手間自行處 理，老先生猶豫了一下，一個人慢慢走向機 尾的洗手間。可是當老先生走出了洗手間， 卻怎麼也記不得自己的座位在哪兒，八十幾 歲的人竟急得在走道上大哭了起來。

空服員前來協助，發現他身上臭不可當，原 來老先生不清楚廁所內衛生紙擺放的位置， 就隨手塗得一身都是，那間廁所當然也被他 使用得慘不忍睹。將他帶回到座位後，周遭 的客人開始紛紛抱怨老先生身上的臭味，實 在難以忍受。 空服員只好詢問他的家人是否有衣物可供老 先生更換，其家人卻表示隨身行李都在貨艙 中的行李箱內，所以沒有衣服讓他更換。 他的家人並且告訴空服員：「今天飛機又沒 滿，將他換到最後一排的位子就好了嘛！」 確實，機上最後幾排的座位是空著的，所以 空服員便依客人的意思照辦了，並且將方才 那間廁所鎖起來以免有其他乘客誤入。

於是，老先生便一個人坐在最後一排的位子 上，望著自己的餐盤，低著頭，不斷的用手 擦眼淚。可是誰知道，一個多小時後，他已 換好了衣服，乾乾淨淨、笑容滿面的回到原 來的座位，桌上還放上了一份全新的、熱騰 騰的晚餐。 大家相互詢問，原來是我那位好友犧牲自己 的用餐時間，將老先生用濕布和濕紙巾一點 一點的擦洗乾淨，還向機長借了套便服讓老 先生換上，更將那間沒人敢進的廁所完全打 掃乾淨，噴上了她自己的香水。

同事們笑罵她笨，這樣幫忙絕對不會有人記 得，也不會有人感謝，既吃力又不討好。

她卻只是輕描淡寫的回答：「飛行時間還有 十幾個小時，若換成我是那位老 先生，我也 會很難受，誰會希望旅行一開始就變成這 樣？再說，平均三十幾位客人用一間廁所， 少了一間就差很多，所以我不只是幫助 那位 老 先生，也是在服務其他的客人啊！」

聽完這件事，我為自己面對工作時的態度感 到慚愧，想起她以前對我說過： 「妳知道古時候最有福報的工作是什麼嗎？ 是擺渡的人。因為他們把人們從一個地方， 平平安安的送到另一個地方，不論之後等著 那些人們的是好事或是悲傷，能平安到達， 才能有一個好的開始。所以我覺得自己現在 能從事服務業，真是一種福氣，能有這樣的 好福氣當然要珍惜，而珍惜這福氣最好的方 法，就是把它分給別人！」 當我還把服務業只是當服務業，原來早已有 人把它當成慈善業一般設想，那麼努力把平 安舒適送到他人心裡。

幾天後從泰國回台北的班機上，晚餐時間有 一位老阿媽的餐點竟連一口都沒有動，我上 前詢問她是否餐點不合胃口，還是她的身體 不舒服。 老阿媽很不好意思、小小聲的說：「其實我 正想請妳幫忙，這是我第一次坐飛機，所以 希望將飛機上的餐點 帶回去給孫子吃吃 看，因為我孫子也沒有坐過飛機。」 我笑著對她說：「沒關係，這份您先吃，我 待會兒再打包一份讓您帶回去給孫子。」 老阿媽聽了，瞪大著眼睛一邊謝我，一邊非 常開心的立刻動起筷子來。 回到廚房後我將自己的那份晚餐打包，用袋 子裝好，學妹在一旁不解的問我：「學姊， 今天回程全滿，機餐連一份都沒有多，妳幹 嘛還拿自己的那份給她？」 我的回答是：「我年輕，還可以餓一下肚 子，下了班回家再順道買點消夜吃就好了， 老人家可就不行了！」其實，我心裡想的 是：如果這位老太太往後沒有機會再出國了 呢？

她也許只是我服務過幾千名客人中的一位， 但卻是她第一趟出國的旅程，如果她此次旅 程的回憶都是美好的，我更不應該扮演之中 唯一的缺憾，不是嗎？

服務業真的是一份很有福氣的工作，因為除 了商品外，我們還能販賣「好心情」。 現在我常常想，今天的我可以為我的工作及 身旁的人做到什麼程度？設想到什麼地步 呢？今天我要扮演讓他們心情平穩開心的菩 薩，還是謀殺他們笑臉的惡魔？ 工作是如此，生活也是如此，今天也好，明 天也是，我的選擇是「惜福」！

First Time In Haneda, Japan - Part 2

To be continued from this entry...

On second off day, woke up early....

View from my room

At the side of the hotel is an aquarium... So, I can get to see the dophins swimming from my room...

After that, got a call from set crews, asking out to lunch together.... So, we went to the food court at the side of the hotel.... When we don't even know how to speak japanese, how to order food.... Don't worry... Japan is a very high-tech country.. See what they have in the food court.... 

A food order machine

It written in mandarin words. So, it wasn't a problem for me

Got a receipt after order

And this small machine... Don't know what it called. But, it alerted me once my food was done prepared.

Food ordered by set crews:

And that's my food....

Yakisoba with egg

Japan "Ice Kacang"

After filled up our empty stomach, we decided to visit the aquarium at the side of the hotel since we came so far to Japan, right? Just made this trip worthy.... The aquarium called Epson Aqua Stadium...

The real big stingray

Cute little penguin

Visited the aquarium, how could I missed the sea lions show.....

Followed by the dophins and whale show.....

After visited the aquarium, went to the food court to take away some food.... And it was my last meal in Haneda before flew back to KL.... 

Brought back some snacks to KL as well.... 

One of my favorite choco from Japan.. The price is cheaper by half compared to KL price.

So, goodbye Haneda until I see you again...... 

First time in Haneda, Japan - Part 1

A year ago when I was still with Malaysia Airlines. At that time, we still have the flying pattern to Haneda and it was a 2-3 days off at there. I was lucky enough to get this pattern.

The hotel that we stayed was near to the JR Shinagawa Station...

First time in Haneda just liked people who just came out from "kampung"... of course need to take more pictures.... 

Nice weather in Haneda

On the first off day, my set crews and me decided to take the train and went to the nearest city to have a look.... So, we went to the JR Shinagawa Station... 

Me with set crews ( the girl standing besides me is a japanese crew)

Shinagawa train station

Tickets selling machine

Tickets bought from Shinagawa to Shibuya & Shinjuku

Passed thru here to get to the train

Without failed, we got in to the right train.... See how crowded is it.... 

Me with my leading steward of the flight

First stop, we stopped by at Shibuya Station. Thought of wanted to go and visit "Hachiko"... If you ever watched a movie named "Hachiko", you will know that Hachiko is a very loyal dog who were waiting at the same place just to wait for his owner who already passed away to come back. It was a true story. So, we went there to see "Hachiko" statue... 

Once we came out from the train, we been following this signboard to look for the statue.... 

Once stepped out from the train station, I saw this view... And it made me feel like shouting at the middle of the road there, saying that "Tokyo! Here I am!!!!!!"

And here we found..... "Hachiko"!!!!

After took few pictures with "Hachiko", as usual... Once crews see this place, sure will visit there for awhile... So, I just waited for them.... 

After that, we walked across the road to the shopping mall area for some window shopping and sigh-seeing.... 

Spotted this shop at one of the mall - Club KT... The shop only selling Hello Kitty stuffs which is my sister all time favorite. Didn't get the chance to grab something for her. So, just shot this photo to show her only. And the best part is..... there is a pretty DJ in this shop... ^^

Walked down one of the street at Shibuya....

When smokers spotted this, definitely stop by.....

I got one for Mr Dunhill Red as well since it was quite worthy... I gave the cigarette away to my crew due to Mr Dunhill Red only smoke Dunhill Red ^^" then the lighter I brought back... And heard from Mr Dunhill Red that they are some people actually asked him that when did he get the lighter ^^

Walked down another street at Shibuya... 

And spotted an interesting shop.. Condomania! As its shop name, it's all about condom and sex toys....

See this! In just 12 hours, it grows real big... But, I guess the sample that they show already leave it there for quite long.. It looked a bit gross indeed.

Different type of condom, pick your own preference ;)

48 types of kamasutra sex position

Continued walking.... 

Hungry... Then started hunt for some food...

Spotted this.... No matter what, must try the local one... Delicious~ 

After ate some nice food, thirsty... Here I got a drink from 7E.. Forgot what was that.. If not mistaken, it was a milk with pearl... 

"Eye-washing" time.... spotted few beautiful japanese girls at the round side.... 

L'Occitane cafe.. In Malaysia, L'Occitane just selling cosmetics products. But in Japan, there is cafe? O.o

Hello Kitty is everywhere... My sister gonna love Japan~

Enough of Shibuya... We headed back to the train station and went to Shinjuku....

Here we are... Shinjuku Station~ By the time, we reached Shinjuku, it was evening already... 

Another view of Tokyo, Japan....

I just don't understand... why all the umbrellas that japanese holding are transparent? Unlike Malaysia, during rainy day, we will be seeing different colors of umbrellas on the street... 

First time in Tokyo, we were just curious to see everything... went into the slot machines shop... Realized a lot of white collar people here.. I guess it's one of their activities after work to release stress...

Night view of Shinjuku... Beautiful huh~ 

Before headed back to hotel, I went to the McD and took away the chicken burger with bacan potato pie... I always have the habit of trying the McD at other countries.. There was no exception for this Japan trip as well.. ^^
