sweet Auckland

trust me it was not an easy flight to Auckland

it was a day flight

and it was super duper tiring

crew will usually get jetlag doing NZ flight

which we are so not use to the time zone ahead SG

and NZ is 5 hours ahead 

yet everybody were so tire

and slept all the way til the other day

on the clear day itself

most of us went for a little shopping

mainly on food for the next day before check out

we arrange a dinner together on that day

the whole set of crew present

choose to have dinner at Angus steak house

this is what i had

the sirloin medium rare

it is really big portion for us

most of us couldn't finish it

but we tried and did our best :)

a little surprise after the meal

the crew in charge bought all of us a x'mas gift

so sweet of him

 it wasn't the end

suddenly the waitress brought up a slice of mousse cake

it was a belated b'day celebration by them

and a rose as a present when someone selling randomly

i guess i almost tears

which i never expect a belated celebration

and it is my first time ever receiving a flower

is really a memorable one

how sweet of people who i just met

this is the warmth from this job

there are nice people around most time

the hard work on the 1st sector worth it all

this is what we mean

work hard in life

in terms to enjoy life

had dinner, had dessert

done with all the celebrations

decide to have a coffee section at Starbucks

my all time favourite

the green tea frap

spent the night chit chatting

sharing and laughing

it was a great stay in Auckland ever

which is mostly a boring stay usually

2nd day did a bit of shopping

which we always do

buying honey and health supplements

there comes the end of the stay

ended with a night flight back in SG

thanks everyone for the flight

it was time to rest

zZZzzZzzz

Bonjour ~ part II

what if when you get to hear about a place so many times

but you never get to see it

is like Paris which i never get to smell the air for once

finally i got the chance to be there

but is really bad that it is now winter

which the weather could be so cold and so wet

so i don't manage to go for any sightseeing

but good enough that i have great accompany

which we walk around and visit the x'mas fair

it was a snowy day by the time we meeting for lunch

they brought me to the Vietnamese joint where crew go often

no doubt,...it was snowing outside

had spring roll as starter

this is tomato fried rice

this is my salted fish chic fried rice

no regrets

the food is yummy and reasonable price

this is where crew always hang around

saw this when we went for groceries shopping

some desserts

and the bakeries

is time to go somewhere further

finally here we are

the famous macarons in town

tea time for the gals

can't wait to taste it....slurp!!

some gift packs with other desserts 

everything looks good

and look at the queue

superrrrrr loooong!!

snap while waiting

i like the design of the restaurant

my purchase of macarons

it cost me 17 euro for 8 in a nice packaging

things that we ordered

time for exercise after the xin fu

walking down the street

heading to the x'mas fair

 with the girls

there our funs begin

so many of them

what should i get??

i had the marshmallow

it was so cold until we can't stand it

our hands are numb

our ears are painful

so that we get a new muffler

it was so soon to get to the end of the trip

while we just started to enjoy it

how nice it was when we have "kaki" for the flight

a busy day flight flying back to SG

it was a great 1st trip to Paris

although not much sightsee we have done

yet we like it ~~

1st day in paris

have been thinking what to do in Paris

and this is my first Paris ever

it was freezing cold

some of us have decide to meet after few hours rest

which we meet for a late lunch

walking out from the hotel

looking for the restaurant a crew have mentioned

guess what??

we overshot and we can't find it

so we turned back and look for other restaurant

which we think it looks good

saw this interesting name - Indiana

just checking out the menu before we enter

okay!! we have the conclusion

the starter

~nacho with avocado

~fried calamari

time for main course

bbq pork rib

chilli corn carne

fried chicken

we enjoyed chatting over the table

have fun talking with new "kaki"

how difficult to get "kaki" on a flight

specially when on your 1st trip to a new place

glad that i have them to bring me out

we enjoy the food

have fun playing with the Carol's new camera

let's see how crazy we are

Carol

non-stop playing with it and laughing out loud

glad to see her again after soooo long

first time was my first time to Melbourne

she is my tour guide....lol

i guess we have enough

paiseh to let the guy keep waiting

on the way back to hotel

cold ~~

gonna have the 2nd day with the girls too

check out what we did next!!
more photos to be uploaded ;)

bloody cold Beijing

suppose doing Melbourne

got taken off from flight because changing of aircraft

put on standby and call up for Beijing

was thinking maybe can shop for cheap stuffs

but it was so cold which is out of my expectation

and you will never know this could happen

we spent an hour outdoor which is 0 degree

just to look for a restaurant

the taxi drivers are irresponsible

and the people never willing to help at all

even if we just asking for the directions

we tried 3 cab and they brought us even further

stop us anywhere when they are not sure about the direction

aren't they suppose to tell us if they do not know

so that we can take another cab??

you mean a taxi driver don't even know the directions??

OMG!! we were there browsing

walking up and down

running in and out

asking people who walk pass us

but none of them know about this place at all

not even the hotel nearby

neither the train station next to the restaurant??

so these people just walking down the street with no aims??

it was so cold out there

0 degree with the stupid wind blow

until we stop the 4th driver who finally willing to ask for us

he called to the number we have

and ask for the location

and we finally get there after an hour??

can you believe it?? 

okay...time to forget about that incident

we are starving

it's really time to heal our cold and stomach

let's see what we have

in such a cold weather

nothing could be better than a steamboat

but sorry if you do not eat lamb and beef

the meat is very fresh 

and it doesn't have the fishy taste of lamb

it's really another well recommended food to eat

other than just Beijing roast duck

** restaurant : xiao fei yang (小肥羊)

location : they have quite a numbers

maybe best for you to check which is nearer to you

and make sure the taxi driver could bring you there

i have learned

 2 years with the company

coming 2 years of flying

i have learned speaking with strangers

i have learned passengers relationship

i have learned dealing with colleagues

i have learned the interest of dealing with human

i have learned to read people

i have learned to differentiate right and wrong

i have learned to protect myself

i have learned to listen while we learn

humans with different personalities

human from different countries

human with different cultures

human from different backgrounds

human with different interests

human from different age groups

human with different experiences

by meeting people around

day by day

flight by flight

how interesting of reading people

how to mix around with strangers

how to speak up with confidence

appreciate people who willing to share

appreciate people who willing to teach

appreciate people who look after me

so glad to make friends around

so glad to travel around

i would enjoy as much as i have the chance 

until the day i find another turn out of the track

look into the destiny

which is given to us

appreciate what GOD have gave us

as long we do our best 

enjoy what we are doing

left no regrets behind

HE will lead us all the way 

no matter wherever we go
