Diaries of a 74M Crew: SPR air is fatal...

No more AkL for me after this one for a long long time.
It was both nostalgic... n exasperating..!!!

More handsets continued to detach themselves from their seats... Some chronic defect it seems...

N on the way up, though the load in EY was only half filled, we were kept on our toes by the stupid entertainment system which kept hanging whenever pax switched to the Interactive mode...

On the way back, I had the luxury of choosing my work position cos ("member mah") flyin with my favourite yan tao Inflight sup mah... ;D

N pple must think i'm crazy but I chose B2...
As if i din have enough of hauling pax luggage... i want to play Rubik Cube with the airlardas in galley as well... ^.*
N create makeshift coolers n wadeva SPR did not have to facilitate our usual workload...

N it's only on the way up from Sg that this flymate of mine cheerfully regaled me his tale of how an Upper Deck biz cls pax spotted a rat who seemed to be a resident of our dearly beloved leased Jumbo jet.

Confirmed sighting by a fellow flymate who paxed up to Akl on another flight... -___-""

Ooohh Gosh..
Had someone told me earlier I'd never take the lower bunks during crew rest lor!

You mean all those times I was patrolling the pitch dark cabin in the quiet Upper deck in my sandal clad feet, I was actually at risk of Mickey scuttling over my bare feet!!??!?!
YikEs!!!
*cringe*

Also, reasons why I say air in SPR is fatal..

1) 2 pax fainted today in the aft section in the middle of the first meal service....
Oxygen administered...

2) An entire family of 4 or 5 came onboard n before eating anything informed us that they started having diarrhoea n vomitting...
Pretty much none of our biz since they haven't ate our food onboard...

But these jokers went to puke in a number of our toilets n messed n choked them up n then told the rest of the pax not to use the specific loos cos they were sick...

Economy Full load lei. 308 pax to 8 toilets n 1 down is damn jialat, not to mention 2.
Stupid.
My poor senior actually went to clean it up.

Once again.. did i mention before that cabin air reduces pax's brain capacity b4??

I mean, does one puke in their own basins in their home toilets n cause them to choke up???!?!?
NO right??

Then why go to public n puke in basins n expect others to clear yr sick stuff up?

Alright, dun get me started again ...

3) A certain senior flymate gets terrible rashes on her face n neck whenever onboard SPR.
Seriously, the aircraft doesn't smell fresh whenever we board.
I think the dust n watever in the SPR cabin is jus NOT clean.
....................

Now that I've served my term of 10 months...
I wonder what will happen to the aircraft when we return it.
I hope they remove all the handsets they replaced on the SPR n bring it back to replace those dropped off the 777s.
N also take back all the working stuff we put on it cos the aircraft came with pretty much NOTHING working.
Well.. or at least keep stock of the parts so that they won't have to tell us they have NIL stock to repair.

Lastly, I hope whichever pax carrier, which leases it after us, for their own sake lar, will not have to carry such high pax loads every other sector...
Cos working w every 1 inoperative wine chiller, 1 inop. oven or 1 choked galley sink, every other day, combined with 308 hungry impatient pax, can easily drive one to high blood pressure.
This is on top of at least 15 wobbly tray tables, 10 self reclining seats, n 25-150 possible CMIV (entertainment system) failures, flight in... flight out.

And this is only in economy class hor.

Actually, I dun give a shit. Jus dun bring back that stupid old hand me down aircraft anymore.
Seriously, MH. Y u ppl keep such old shitty aircrafts lor.

I'm free!! Yay! ; ) *grinZ*

Two Sides to the Same Story.

I happened to read this post today.
He's quite a prominent blogger on the sg blog scene as u blog readers will prob know.

At first I felt immense irateness...
And then I read some of the comments left behind n pretty much can't be bothered to feel much else.

The same thing complain complain complain...
Offer also complain.
Dun offer then complain that we discriminate.

And I'm referring to stupid n petty "Why u never offer me wines?! you think i not high class enough is it?" kinda complaints, which I've heard had occured before.

So wat really is the right thing to do??

Like one of the comments left behind... some modern muslims do take wine with their meal.

Anyway... one of our meal service sequences is offering of wines after the special meals (ie muslim meals, indian veg, jain, kosher, child, post weaning, low fat, low cal, diabetic, no beef, no fish, no/only seafood, low n high wadeva shit crap meals we offer)

Digressing, sometimes, we can be known as the Special Meal Airline cos we accede to so many ridiculous requests. As many as half the cabin can be Special Meals.

How to serve the other half of the 300 or so pax as quickly as efficiently as possible when there r so many so called special cases???
Becos wat happens later is this. Complaints.
I think Service Development dept should b looking into this.

Yeah, so we go around offering the Special Meal ppl with wines first, while the rest of the meals r being prepared to be wheeled out into the cabin to be served.

I agree that service aptitude is something that cannot be taught to an individual.
One needs to have that special empathy for someone else to have that special touch.

N most of our fly ppl lack that.
I can say tt most of my fly mates r service himbos n bimbos.
N it's sad.
Y does the company hire somemore of such ppl. Wat r their recruitment policies. That's wat i always question.

But in such cases, doing the extra step, such as offering wines first, we get complaints.
It's like the Chinese saying Hua(4) Se(2) Tian(2) Zu(2).
Literally drawing legs on a snake.
Giving ourselves more problems.

We should just be like the other airlines.
If going the extra mile make us seem insensitive, boliao, bimbotic, overwhelming, wadeva Singaporeans or other ppls like to complain bout... then we really just shouldn't bother.

That's why they say being the best is not always the best position to be in.

Guess I've got a point to bring up in the briefing room later at work.

Come on give us a break.
Fly around the friendly skies with the other smarter airlines n see if u can always have things yr S'porean way.

nag nag blah blah~

I hate this new router installed at home.
Some stupid brand called Zyxel...

My connection in my room goes on n off, on n off...
Esp when I trying to send bigger files via emails...
Wassup with that!?!?

Can someone tell me how to solve that??

N I hate patronising doctors who bloody give u the same answers everytime.
My problem is RECURRING... coming back! Give me an answer to stop it PERMANENTLY! not jus this time.

Oh n i got freakin' called up for Akl again. Leaving later.
It will be my last on the stupid SPR jumbo.

Okie. I'm just ranting.
Think it could be the antibiotics n low nicotine n sugar level.
>;(

Toilet Bowl Sauce....

Overheard in First Class today on a Jakarta turnaround...

"How can there be on fish today??! I dun care you go n find one for me!"

This apparently came from some big shot who prob owns the Jakarta Post or something towards one of our leading crew. He was practically yelling with a scowl on his face as if deeply offended.

Condescending, extremely petty...

The crew bit back her retort, which was supposed to be "So wat happens if u go to a restaurant n discover they dun serve fish?? Burn it down???"

She managed to get the fish from Biz Class.

If it were me, I'd rim the toilet seat with his fish fillet, present it prettily n with the brightest smile on my face.
N i'd go... "I do hope u enjoy yr meal Mr so-n-so" in the sweetest demeanour ever.

Never mess with people who prepare yr food buster! *ptui*

Diaries of a 74M Crew: The End of It.

It's been official for sometime.
The lease on the MH lan-sai aircraft ends 11May.

N it also spells the end of my term as 1 outta the 300 crew(a.k.a The Spartans) who operates it.


I'm happy that I do not have to work on that shitty aircraft anymore...
Or have nothing to look forward to in my roster month after month for 10 months liao...


If I can leave fly life as planned by late next year for a career change, I wanna enjoy my last year of flying n cover all other destinations I've still never been to before.

Roster is out n my last Auckland flight for a reaaaalllly long time is on the 23 Apr.

I still get another Tokyo LA after n then my roster goes back to normal.

I missed the unpredictability of my rosters all these months! The feeling of never knowing where i might be going n when!

On the other hand, I will always look back n have fond memories of the whole experience.

I will miss:

1) Always getting 2 days off after an Akl or London flight. Regular rosters will have more 3 day flights n thus only 1 day off following. I have more time to attend my classes!

2) The camaraderie among the 300 of us. It's been refreshing working with fellow colleagues who work hard n smart alongside you on most flights. N we always work with the same people! Familiar faces! I will miss only the nice pple of cos!


3) The yummilicious lamb chops on the room service menu! *slurps*

4) N laugh at the whole absurdity of how often n how bad things can go wrong on that aircraft. ;D

5) The allowance of cos... ;p N the fact that we dun have to do Indian flights but r compensated with more Japan flights instead, which I've grown to so love!


6) The kiwi passengers. Who are generally much nicer than other pax profiles.. ;)


Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief n feel like my life will go back to a state of normal uncertainty


Phew~

The gaps in Honesty...

A new kind of game seemed to have surfaced in the dating scene... or rather the playeur scene...
Maybe it's not new.. maybe it's always been, just that I'm slow to find out....

Pseudo honesty.

Men who come across as completely honest bout their past.
Their flings, their one night stands, their affairs.
N then they tell u.... that they have had enough of all that... n they just want to be true to you....
All to throw u offguard...
To me it's called "The Al3x Game"

"Why me?" the girl might ask at first...

N more sweet talking bleah bleah bleah from the guy...

How can the girl refuse?
After all, the old adage is... everyone is entitled to a past.
The past is the past they say.

I was a victim to all these.
I believed it, fell head first for it...i bled.
N now i learnt from it.

I recently am put in a situation where I had to tell a friend to be wary bout her new boyfriend.
N though i dun know her well, she reminded me of myself, the old me.

And when she assured me that she knows wat she's doing, the guy's completely honest with her bout ongoing relationship etc, it was jus deja vu for me.

Wat i think is this...
You can take the risk of believing him... cos everything is so fresh n new n sweet now.
But when he gets bored... as every guy does.....he might just leave some gaps in his 'honesty' halo.
Gaps that u cannot make sense of or find the plugs to fill them in.

From the book "Why Men Marry Bitches":
"When a man tells you that he left his phone at home, in the car etc for extended periods of time whenever u can't get to him, he's more likely than not to be lying."

To the ex.
I know u lied to me all those times sweetheart.
Pls dun feign innocence n pls dun sms me anymore.

Death by Oysters: The Food Poisoning Episode....

No I didn't make it to The Line for the oyster buffet on Tuesday night...

Because I was throwing my guts out the entire day...
24 hours after ingesting some fried oysters at the 24hr dim sum joint in Lor (cannot remember wat) in Geylang.

-____-"

The last time this happened to me was the day before Co n Adi's wedding.
Culprit being the oyster sushi from Genki sushi at The Forum.

Daddy heard me hurling from the farthest room at home n rushed into the toilet to see me bent over the throne in agony.
N asked me "Aiyoh wat u eat?!"

"Oysters. Fried Oysters from Geylang"

"Aiyoh! How can u eat oysters from there?? Nowadays dunno where the oysters come from. Maybe all from China or something."

;D *chuckles*

My dad has this thing bout China made products... no offence...
But when I was young he always told me that electrical items made in taiwan n china will explode or burst into flames when used for long periods of time...
Basically... to him... anything that turns bad or goes wrong = Made in China.
Hahahah~ ;p

Me??
I only have gripes bout the mainland women pulling the wool over our men's eyes.
I'm sorry if I sound discriminatory.

But I used to be okie with them, until the one whom my uncle married began to show her true ugly creepy colours after my granny passed away.

Now she wants car, wants $$ to send home to rebuild her parents' n aunties' n uncles' n god knows who else's houses n acts as if she's some sort of princess. Can ask her to eat sh*t n die lor.

Not only that, she did not lift a finger to help my mom take care of Gramps when Gramps was in her critical stage, but did a good show of shedding a good amount of crocodile tears at her deathbed.
F*k her. i hope my uncle divorce her n send her back to the depths of Hainan Island.

So DC, dun blame me for being skeptical.
the KTV girls aren't all they claim to be.
They all tell u they r uni grads etc etc. But does one really know the truth??
So wat if they shop with wads of cash?
N it's so easy to spot them on the streets in town.
Just the one with the Gucci belt n the gigantic LV bag.
Can someone please tell these babes, sometimes money simply cannot buy one style.

I have nothing to say of those who r here to make an honest living, after all, Sg always is in need of foreign labour to contribute to the workforce.

Right.. before I digressed...

Oysters... Food poisoning...

I got called up for Auckland the following day again n not surprisingly threw up onboard.
Once before the breakfast service n once more damn jialat one towards the end of the service.
Thank god we were landing...

I should have just taken my MC n stayed home with mummy's cooking n my smelly pillow.
Dang~

But I ain't giving up on oysters yet.
This time I'm only going for the fresh ones though.
Eddie is leaving Fri (which is today!) for London again...
(Sorry I can't see u off dude, is still in akl now ;( will mish u *hugs*)

Who else is up for Oyster Nite on Tuesday @ The Line with moi????? ;D

Lag Lag lag... n Flygirl's Laments~

Yeah.. i haven't been updating cos my Mac is(you guessed it!) sent in to the repair shop again....

KNN chow ballz~!

this time the battery connector is not working... it's not able to detect or charge battery

N the nice technician who changed the logic board FREE on warranty for me barely 2 weeks ago has left....

SO I might need to pay for the repair this time...

N it's taking so long soooo long!!!!!

I have been to London n back n they haven't got any concrete tests done yet!!!

grrrrrrrrrr~

Anyway people...
Must watch 3 Kingdoms!

Freeflow of sparkling wines, vodka shooters, beer etc accompanying oysters from various places, dim sum n sashimi..... all at $88++
Oysters!!!!

Will report back with photos....
.........................................................................................................................

One last thing...

Does cabin air reduce peoples' brain density to nothingness???

Cos i seem to meet the dumbest, slowest, f*king stupidest people onboard.

N trust me... I have been in the hospitality line since 16 n that's a good 11 years n the most ridiculous, atrocious, rudest, not to mention brainless customers seem to be those on the airplane.

N these people can be rich, famous, influential, capable (the premium classes) n yet they behave like crap. no words to describe... just CRAP~

N this is the first in the series of a flygirl's laments.
I HATE MY PASSENGERS.
I might smile, conjole, offer alternatives.... but no, there r no other seats with fucking extra leg room.
NO those seats aren't window/aisle/emergency exit seats. you should have fucking checked when u checked in since u sooo badly needed it you stupid sucker.

We r cabin crew. NOT ground staff. CABIN means inside the aircraft cabin only. SEAT ALLOCATION N CHANGES R NOT WITHIN OUR JURISDICTION. That is the fucking ground staff job. pls go ask them.

While I'm at it. NO WE DUN DO UPGRADES. I dun care how much cash u can give me now upfront or how fucking often the other airlines upgrade u, or even who the fuck u r. BUT our company does not allow CABIN crew to authorise upgrades. PLEASE SEE THE GROUNDSTAFF OUTSIDE. n stop showing off in front of yr new girlfren/wife etc cos u ain't getting upgraded by us even if there is ZERO load in Biz n First.


N yes, wat u've got IS an emergency exit seat. That thing blocking yr lesbian partner's leg is the door bustle which contains the slide raft to get us outta the plane when we crash. Oh tt is not enough legroom?? well too bad cos that IS already an emergency exit seat. *&*&*%#^%#&**~

N cheeeeebyeee.. there r NOoooo More Chicken!!!! Why the fuck must everyone eat the fucking chicken breast!!?!?! it's dry n tasteless! n tt's true. Is chicken the only meat we should serve onboard???

Oh you can't take the fish/beef/pork jus cos u dun like it?!??! Well Fuck off... dun eat then. This is wat other airlines will tell u anyway.
That you only have 2 choices "TO eat or Dun Eat"

KNN~ only we go running around looking for alternative choices for YoU.

If it's my plane, i will fucking push you out of the freaking aircraft door.

N pls stop bringing yr ridiculously large musical instrument onboard cos I will personally step on it til it breaks to pieces after I smilingly tell u i will stow it in the already jam packed premium class closets.

Also, u dare come up n tell me u dun have strength to put yr ridiculously heavy suitcase in the overhead compartments?? Well fuck u.

So i look like i have the strength to help u?? After all i'm only a dainty stewardess n too many of us have broken our back for selfish shits like u.
If u had the strength to carry tt bag outta yr home/hotel room into the cab n airport n thru the security checks n all the way to the plane... u'd b able to bring it up yourself after all that conditioning I'm sure.

......... -___-"

Phew...~

Now I feel better.
So do u guys out there still think flygirls have glamourous jobs?

More on sticking our arms into trash bins n toilets when I next feel like exploding into expletives.

N so it is...

I've been reading this blog n her posts on her recent break up brings back memories of my own...

Time flies...
N it's now April...
It's been 3 months since December.

It's strange how it's hard to be able to believe that time will heal wounds when bad things are happening...
N then on hind sight...
U look back n wonder .... y was it so hard then??

The memories have become so blurred, but reading DiDa's explicit conveyance of her broken emotions with such simple words stirred up mine.

The stages of : Accepting, expecting explanations, wondering y no explanations??, Doubts, so many of them, then anger, sadness, crying til no more tears...cold, emptiness, ..... hatred...... n then finally..... nothing....

I'm starting to be really convinced that the universe might just be full of men like such.
Selfish, non committal, selfish selfish selfish.

They promise the world when they want u. They will give u anything n everything.
Anything u say goes. Everything u say is right.
They run to the ends of the world for u.

They caress u tenderly, whisper sweet nothings in yr ear, smell yr hair sneakily n always makes sure u come first... be it in bed or not.

They tell u they miss u to bits, r reluctant to let u leave, n await eagerly for yr calls n replies to yr texts almost instantaneously even if they r up to their neck in shit.

The first few fights u have with him will have him conceding in defeat. Cos after all, u r always right.
That is... until... u really n truly have surrendered yr heart to him... trust him wholly n love him with all yr might.

And then....
the excuses n reasons come.

We start becoming a demanding bitch; with sky high expectations. "everything's bout you, you , n you!" they say of us.
Guess who put us so high up there in the first place???

We start being too sensitive n unreasonable.
Or did their threshold for us dip???

Their mobile phones start to grow legs n walked away from their side, for longer periods as time passes.
Sometimes, perhaps their phones turned mute too as ringing alarms r conveniently ignored.

I look back at my bad experiences n feel really tired all over again.
Can I really help it if I had turned cynical?

Any faith is bitter sweet n at every twist n turn, I expect the good things to come to an end.

So wat if they all say "Time will tell if I will really let u down".
The fact is, they had all let me down. Told me things that didn't materialise.

Oh yes, Dodo has severe trust issues with men... n not just the cheating kind of trust...
*grimace* ; \ humprf~

The Big Breasts Controversy...

Why is it that all the guys I know say that big boobies r disgusting n off putting...

Yet when a pair walks by... they never fail to gawk??

N they talk bout their sheer size seemingly with disdain... yet somehow I sense that these men secretly still want to have a grope..

Also, no matter how many times they try to convince me that big boobies are a turn off... why do men never say "no" when a chance to fuck one comes along???

Enough of your hypocrisy dudes...
If like then like.
You can say that it's a bonus or a 'must have'.
Even if it's to flat chesties like moi...

But dun say that u find it disgusting n turn off then drool when a set of blue whale mammaries breezes by.

I'm hollering cos I just feel like it.
In fact, I feel like biting heads off.
I just wanna be left alone.
