I visited Eiffel tower and the louvre.. So after so many years of looking at the one in my grandparents' house, I've now seen the real painting of Mona lisa.
I actually think they're quite the same thing..

Venus
When I was on our way to LA one day, I went into the cockpit and the pilot showed me the planet Venus. You can only see it before dawn.
It's like a shining star, alone.

Which is scarier?
I experienced earthquake in Japan when I was doing my NRT-LA. It was 7 something in the morning, I was sleeping and suddenly my bed shook so hard that I got a fright thinking that a ghost was shaking my bed!
Then I stood up and calmed down, and I told myself that it should be an earthquake. Luckily after about 6 to 7 seconds it stopped but I could still hear the sound of things shaking. I went back to sleep.

Male, Maldives
I was called up to Male, replacing my 3 days pattern with 4! How great is that! There's really only chilling to do there and it was definitely a vacation.
I went snorkeling for a very short while the day after we arrived, it was rather cloudy so there wasn't much to see. Swam a little in the pool and finished carving one of my stamps.
We went for a sunset tour the next day and it was awesome! There were dolphins and they really are adorable creatures! One of them did a flip for us, twice!
It was really an experience, sipping wine on the cruiser, with the wind and the view. life's good to be wealthy!
But I think the ever so popular Male is pretty much like the other islands I've been to. Nice beach, breath-taking blue sea, friendly staff, it's all the same, right?

Mykonos, Greece
Right after touch down in Athens, I joined 4 other crew and went online to search for tickets and accommodation to Mykonos, a beautiful island of Greece.
In the end, instead of taking the 4 hour ferry, we got to the airport to buy the half an hour plane ride which costs euro 250 both ways. It's my first time going on such an impromptu trip where nothing has been booked or arranged!
All the buildings in Mykonos are white by law, their windows and doors are blue, like their flag. It was sunny but very windy, nice weather I'd say!
We had one of our dinners at a Greek restaurant, the locals are so different from our people, they're happy and fun. They were dancing to the band all night long and pulled us along!
Mykonos is a nice place to relax, a nice place to be with my loved ones.

I still cry
It has been 6 months, and I still cry..
This is the job I wanted, the one I think is perfect coz I don't have to wake up early every weekday, the one that has only 2 off days weekly. It is the job that's not so boring, the job that pays better, the job that i want.
Now I've got it, I've got the job. I even have 2 of my sisters with me, but the only thing, the big thing, missing, is my husband.
I cry every time we say goodbye. I sometimes also cry through the phone before flights. Why? This is what you wanted!
Do I want to end this? What will I be? I don't, I want to fly and come home to you..

First annual leave
In 2 days' time, our whole family plus my grandma will be going to Taipei for my dad's birthday! It'll be my first annual leave taken and I'm very sure I'll feel as lousy as ever to come back to singapore after the break!
I'm sure we'll enjoy our trip a lot! With lots of talking and eating! Yi-Shen 没有去!

To my sisters
It is such a happy thing to be together, all of us.
We have so much fun! Although once together long, someone somehow tends to lose their temper.
Let's work on this, so we'll enjoy each others company more than ever!
Love,
Che

Moscow, Russia
I was telling chyi the house is back to normal, everyone has left and it feels sad! i really wanted to cry! i know i'll be going back to pj right after i come back from this 9 day pattern moscow-houston, but i still feel sad! maybe it's because this is the first time i'll be away for more than 4 days..
it's snowing in moscow, and it's my first time seeing snow! snowflakes are not as tiny as i imagined, you can see the shapes clearly, and they are rather big!

Homesick
when i first stepped into the aircraft, i told myself to suck it up and just work because i was feeling weepy.. i felt that the leading wasn't very nice.. but it's not quite true.. i was just feeling crapy.
the bus ride to the hotel took 2 hours! It's my first time seeing snow! I CAN see snow flakes flying down, stopping on my nose!
But it's really boring here in moscow! there's no internet connection in the room, there's nothing interesting to watch on tv.. sigh! the crew did mention about going out to the red square, but my clothing aren't warm enough for snow! =(

Kiwi
Location: Christchurch
Arrived this morning, wiped away my red lipstick, changed and we hopped on to their yellow bus to a japanese place for lunch. You can imagine how zombie we felt after 12 hours of work and we still managed to go to their Pak'nSave for some groceries shopping..
Bought a bottle of pancake (powder) mix to try with me sisters! Maybe I'm suaku, or maybe normally it's in a box so I'm drawn to this bottled one. Just add water into the bottle, shake and pour!

A thrilling night
Li's in town, and we joined Ching to the airport and had dinner there. After dinner, we walked around and did some groceries shopping, had dessert at Coffee Bean..
On our way bk home, I realized that I didn't bring house keys out! I began to panic as all my sisters are at work (which means they're not in Sg!!) and I don't remember seeing the other girls at home! I smsed them but they didn't reply so I guess they're overseas too!
We got back, I prayed hard that the last person who went out didn't double lock our door and we tried opening it.. Very luckily, we managed to let ourselves in! I couldn't imagine what would happen if we're still locked out now!
Well.. But guess what? We left all our groceries on the bus!!!
What a night!

Amsterdam; Europe virgin
Can you imagine my phone's battery went flat while I was sleeping and the alarm did not go off when I'm supposed to go for a tour?! Thank god it's not a working day!! The concierge called me to say that the bus is here to pick us up, and I asked him what time is it.. I took 15 minutes to get ready and lucky too that I had fake eyelashes done before coming to Amsterdam!
The tour was nice because all the houses here are very nice, all houses have their own unique touch. Look into their houses and you'll see flowers and dining tables by the window, it's like houses in the movies and catalogues! Apparently the house owners here are very competitive and they'd all have different doors and curtains; true enough, I see different doors in a row!
Are all countries in Europe like this? I'm certainly curious and look forward to find out!

The moon
Saw the moon at eye level..
When we were about to land into Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. It was big and round, brightly lit and it stood right above the gray clouds.

Getting ready
I timed myself getting ready the other day.. took 25 minutes to bathe, 5 to prep face, 23 to do my make up, 22 for styling my hair, and another 15 to dress up plus some last minute touches.
A minimum of 1.5 hours to get ready, if nothing out of the norm like not having a good make up or hair day!

ATDO with no company
Pssst.. The title is to annoy Li coz she hates it when we use all these airline jargons!! Heee.. Anyway Li, ATDO means our off day laa k?
Chyi got back from Tokyo, Ching will be back from London tonight, here I am, figuring out something meaningful to do.. Tried making an appointment with the dentist but they are fully booked today. I really have the urge to whiten my teeth, they are yellow! I'll feel much prettier with whiter teeth!
Off days are certainly better when you have company!
