Ng Family Rocked Middle East!

Wow!!

I haven't been here for a month!! Gosh! However, wasn't flying that much last month, I've reached my high hour, flew around 840 hours this year, and we are not allowed to fly over 900 hours per calendar year. That's why I was given a high-hour-holiday, which is good for me, got to bring my parents and Mei Yi around when they were here for vacation.

It was great to have them here in Jordan to bug me. They were here for 9 days, as usual, they argue about every little things now, and the next second, they become close again, like two peas in a pod. The noisiness made me felt like I'm at home. :) 

Never really ask if they enjoy the trip here. But I hope they did. I admitted that I didn't really have a well-planned trip for them. Hope that next trip would be a better one that they don't need to worry about me spending too much money on the trip, which I think it's unnecessary for them to worry about it. We've spent too much of their money in the past quarter century, it's our turn now to take over that role, at least little by little. :)

We started our trip from Cairo, Egypt, then only we were back in Amman.

We were there few days right before the election started. Despite the unstable political condition in Cairo, we still managed to go through the tour, without any obstacles. In fact, we were not in the town where the demonstration took place. We were staying all the time at Giza, the outskirt of Cairo for the first day. And Saqqara, Memphis for the rest of the days. 

Here are some photos of the trip~

Peas in the pod with the royal tombs of King Khufu and King Khafre. Now only I realised Papa wore like an archaeologist that day~Ha!

We were there having tea and watching the sunset and the pyramids! Life's good! :))

 The next day, we went to Saqqara for its Step Pyramids and Pyramid of Teti. We got to go inside the pyramid and it was a thrill!!

Honey mooner at the Citadel of Cairo.

We flew back to Amman after few days in Cairo, visited Ajloun Castle and Jerash at the north of Jordan. 

Like father like daughter!!Papa being modeled by Mei Yi. Hehe~

I love the following shot~Anak manja~

 Then we continued our adventure to Wadi Rum, Aqaba, Deadsea and Ma'in hotspring at the south of Jordan! 

Wadi Rum for its sand, rock, sunset and hospitality of Bedouin. One thing I love the most is the black tea with sage!My all time favorite!!

Family photo!!Love the sand!!

Papa mama and the tea!!Cheers!!

Without any reason, I love the following shot! :)

It was too cold for them to stay overnight in Bedouin camp that night, I decided to save the sleepover in Wadi Rum to the next trip, so we headed south to stay overnight at Aqaba. :))

And the next day, we headed back to north, for Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth and Ma'in hotspring of Jordan!

I couldn't stop laughing when i browsed through the photos taken at Dead Sea, papa and mama looking like the Shrek and Princess Fionna with the mud!! :D

Utterly CUTE!!

I'm so gonna bring them over to Amman again next year's spring~ 

Life's good!!Cheers!!

Have a cheerful Saturday!!!

Anniversary

1 year it is! To be precise, 1 year and 18 days. It has been one hell of a ride!!

And I've already signed myself to the airline for another year. Congratulations to myself!

By the way, I still haven't finish exploring the world, I have to at least explore all the seven wonders before I decide to leave.

Despite the traveling, this job is really addictive, of the money, of the experience, of the people you meet. I wonder if I can survive if I'm leaving this job behind. When the time comes, I have to take another big step again, to be out from the huge swirl of cotton candy. I'm gonna just let it flow now~ 

I have this confidence that I can do whatever I want as long as I WANT it. The will, that I always have it. The good thing is I'm not worried for myself, but from the other hand, the bad thing is I'm thinking too much that I stop learning and stop growing, stop wanting something. Or another word, I'm sitting on my comfort zone, not wanting to move anymore. This bugged me nowadays, going to start finding something else other than my works and flight, to keep myself occupied. Learning more Arabic words is my next target and after getting my camera, I'm going to get myself moving towards my DREAM! Practices make perfect! Don't ever give up!

The life is going on, and I keep writing my very own chapters in the way I want it to be. I'm very glad of this! The way I want it to be. =]

Cheers peep!

Here is the photo of the post!

Was having dinner with the girls, not all of us, but we were all as if together. There will always be a next-time.

Cheers!!

My State of Mind

Happie!! It's my current state of mind.

I want to remember this kind of feeling even after years have pass, so I decided to jot down here in my little space.

Just had an awesome flight yesterday, and I laughed all the way during the flight. Felt great to have a clique with the crew you are flying with, it makes the long hours passed like a snap of fingers, just like that.

A big smile, plus a warm hug and a friendly handshake, those make the day become brighter and those stingy passengers become sweeter! HA!

Was about to blog something about my trip to Rome, next post perhaps!

Gonna end this post by my all-time favorite quote,

 Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain!

Too bad, there is no rain in Jordan!

Have a great Tuesday!!

Back to WORK

I'm back in Amman reluctantly! 17-day-holiday are kind of too short for me. :P

Used up almost 4 days on flying and driving home. This kind of short break makes me feel like taking a long unpaid leave just to meet and cuddle with my loved ones. 

Have been flying through half of the globe at the beginning of my holidays, and got to hold hands of hubby for 5 and a 1/2 days long. And spent 5 precious nights wrapped myself up with my own smelly blanket and rolled on my bed at home! These are all small little things that I never thought I'm going to enjoy so much back then. Awww...I miss home, again! or I should say, I miss places with all my loved ones there. 

C'est la vie! It's all about give and take. All the moments that I have to say goodbye to my loved ones, make me grow stronger and mature. I might not look like a mature one, but trust me, i think maturely! ngehe~

I love you! All of you.

Here is one picture of the month. 

Have a great Monday!

Cleared

I'm cleared on all the aircraft types! No more safety trainee. However, when the chief cabin was clearing me on my last aircraft, only I realized that I haven't been really flipping my safety manual for quite a while now. I just read the notes that I made for every aircraft before every flight. But that's not enough. To make myself a pro, I promise myself to spend 10,000 hours reading on the safety manual! Siao!! Still way to go to become a real flight attendant. Anyway, happie to see 'Excellent' on every safety clearance sheet of mine! >.< 

Don't play play. :P

A picture a blog!

My office in the sky. ;)

Have an amazing Wednesday peep!

落马

今天落马啊！

Hahaha~I was so prepared for the flight to JFK! Except for not having enough sleep before the flight~ But when i got to the crew center, and entered the washroom as usual to wear my lips color, i heard my name got called by the briefing officer, I thought i was late for briefing, but then, this sentence hit me!

'Miu Sing (as usual, they call my name wrongly), you are offloaded from the New York flight ya, because you haven't get the visa clearance from the states.'

DANG!! Shit happens. Everytime. There is never a certainty in airline. Everything changes even it's last minute. So, lesson learned.

I felt like crying when i heard that, but my tears dropped back in because I heard the next sentence,

'So you are now on Dubai's flight.'

Another DANG!! I have to put myself back together again for a flight. Smile and safety and serve. There is no time for me to be sad. Another lesson learned.

And so, I went on for the flight. I was impressed by myself, I could smile like angel still on the flight~ GG~
We normally give passengers the comment cards on every flights, and the comments today make me merrier.
The passenger commented : It is really a royal airline!

Awesome!! Hehe~

Finger crossed for the visa clearance!!Popi popi~

NYC, wait for me. :P

Have a amazing Saturday peep!

Visa day!!

Tada!!US Visa - checked!!

Just got my freshly hot US visa today!!Yippie!!

Have a great Friday peep!

U For Upgrade and U.S.A

Aha~~ 4 months of flying, never expect to be trained as Crown Class attendant that soon. *we call our first class as Crown Class* Thanks to the mess that Egypt created, it was quite a hit for the airline industry in the Middle East area, super low season for RJ, light load of passengers on almost every flights, and most of us got removed from the scheduled flights because of the light load. We have tonne of AVAILABLEs in our roster. That's the reason why we get to be trained to become the Crown Class Attendant. Simply to fill in the empty roster we are having. But deep inside my heart, the reason that i think i've been assigned into Crown Class course is because i'm simply BRILLIANT! *evil laugh*

So it's an Upgrade i presume~ From an EA attendant to FC attendant. FC = more flights! and hopefully, more flights = more $$! *Ka-ching*

There is another good news for me! The management had scheduled the Top 3 for the States' visa application!!
MADNESS!! The first thought of mine is that i get to fly to CHICAGO!! To meet CAMIN LOO!! And endlessly travel to the States for FREE!! I'm stoked!! Awaiting for that day to come! Finally we get to see each other, face to face~


Our training's photos,

Menu for training purpose~

4 days of good food~

Hope everything goes well so that i can fly to the States on April!!!

*fingers crossed*

Have a wonderful Friday!!!

HOT

JUA~~Why? Because i just got removed from a flight, again~ But then i felt neither upset nor angry, instead, i felt funny~ and i died laughing which caused my body heat to increase~ After i checked my schedule, Vicky went to check her schedule too, she burst out laughing as well! Both of us had the same day's flight and both of us got removed together-gether~~Roommate ar roommate!! Same destiny pulak~~

And so, i could 心安理得 watch my drama series~ :P
Watching Secret Garden lately. The korean drama series, it's already in my list of most favorites drama series. ;)

Lovely!!

One of the famous scenes~Butterflies in my stomach!!

Touched after knowing Joo Won went into the lake to find the key for La Im.

Funny!!After both of them changed their soul 

Died laughing!! Undeniable, Hyun Bin is a great actor~

Couldn't stop laughing when i was watching this, Yoon Sang Hyun is another comedian in the drama series.

It's so moving that Joo Won would do anything for Gil La Im.

They love each other so much. Awww~~

Another favorite scene.

Another scene among the famous scenes. SWEET!!

 Big thumb for his acting. He makes me wanted to go into the screen to save him from the elevator.

He always stand by her when things happened.

T-T Cried so badly in this episode!!

He gave up everything for the woman he loved! Speechless.

It's a must-watch drama series na!
Ciao, going back to my Secret Garden for second round!



Have a happie Thurday!!

Lucky Me

I've been flying lesser for this month, in fact, everyone is flying lesser this month. Mr. Rostering is sleeping on his desk i guess, most of us got lesser flying hours and some of them even got removed from the flight. What a disastrous month for everyone of us.

Lucky me! Got another Bangkok-Hong Kong flight from my airport standby. I wasn't well-prepared for the trip though.

Me: I've got airport standby from 2330 onwards, most probably not flying since there is no flight after 2330.

Colleague: There is a thai girl called sick for the flight!You might get to fly to BKK tonight na!

Me: What??!!I just got myself a small trolley. I didn't bring my suitcase na!!

And then i heard my name from the P.A.

Briefing officer: Mui Cing, please proceed to the counter please.

Me: What the heck??!!

Briefing officer: Bangkok, ok?

Me: Ehh, I didn't bring my suitcase, ermm....

Briefing Officer: Oh well, You can reject the flight, why didn't you bring your suitcase??

Me: Erm, It's ok, i think im taking the flight as i brought all my toiletries with me though.

Chief A: Go home, don't fly since you're not prepared.

Briefing Officer: So how's your decision?Want or don't want?

Me: Ya! Im going to Bangkok! *after calculating the income and the cost in a flash*

Briefing Officer: OK!So you are on Bangkok! *clicking the mouse*

And VOILA, RJ180, another flight in my roster!Everyone got stunned when they saw me walked with a small trolley while everyone else was pulling a uber big suitcase.

I was worried when i promised to fly Bangkok. But things turned out OK~The whole briefing session was rather a roller coaster ride. My heart almost jumped out of my mouth, all because of the excitement I got and my brain wasn't functioning for answering the safety and first aid questions.

Afterall, thanks god that i met the utterly nice team! Had a really great flight with all of them. And had my first experience of making Mandarin announcement onboard. =.= My own translation from English to Mandarin. Luckily the passengers didn't die laughing. :P

Extra bonus for the trip, I've got myself another Cecelia Ahern from HK airport. She always amazed me with her excellent job! :)

Happie Reading to myself!

p.s. love the book cover to the max!


Have a extra-ordinary Tuesday!

潮落后的潮起

:D

Had a great flight with awesome crew!Met two clique in the flight!I was HAPPIE to the max for the flight. It is quite a compensation after the awful flight experience i had. So i said, we must always hope for the ups when we are down. The ups will always come after down, it's just the matter of time it takes to come. Im blessed that it came so soon for me.

Bonus for the flight, i saw the XXXL size of The Big Dipper, 北斗七星 up in the sky on 28,000 feet. Another 1st time in my life. And the starry sky is the most beautiful freckles i have ever seen in the world. How i wish i could snap that moment with my camera and share with everyone else. I couldn't imagine how's the view for those astronauts in the space. Must be a killer of view, i bet those astronaut must be thinking 'I could die here for the view'. The only different thing between astronaut and me is that they have killer camera that takes stunning pictures unlike me. ;) 

In a nutshell, I love night flight and most importantly with light load of passengers, that's the only time i get to enjoy the view and silence of the night, *ahem* not that silent actually with the sound of engines roaring.

The two cliques i mentioned, Mohammed and Anshula, my left and my right~

Have a peaceful Sunday!

Great Year with GREAT start

Ha! What a kick off for the new year. I considered this as the worst start of a year ever with the worst flight experience i had with the flight team and the news of Ahmeng bumped into an accident, a serious one. Thanks god that he is safe and sound after all. I love you hunny, say it to ur dearest friends and family just in case someday something happens and you couldn't get the chance to tell them that you love them.

Before that, i must say that, i had an awesome night for the NYE with all my girls, get wasted and wicked at Eva's house. ;) And i perhaps this would be the starting point for our Ibiza trip during May 2011. :D

Photo of the night!

Speaking of the worst flight ever, I cried onboard, all kind of incidents happened onboard. But after Im done crying and spitted all the craps out for once to my roommate, that's the end of the story. Keep telling myself that everything will be alright. We wont be the best until we experience the worst! Thus, the way not to let others to take you down, is to do the job even better than you can. I've showed my sunshine smile all the way when i did the service after the cry.

就算是這個世界　把我拋棄　而至少快樂傷心我自己決定

    所以我說　就讓它去　我知道潮落之後一定有潮起　有什麼了不起！

Have a Happie New Year peep!!

Random

It has been 3 months since i first came to Jordan~Time really flies huh~we have already been flying for almost 2 months, seems to be adapted to this country to the extent of feeling familiar when i heard someone speaking arabic in foreign countries like France and England~ Spooky~~ 

And I've gained weight!! This is definitely spookier than the previous spookiness~ 

And I've started to miss the forever-summer's weather of Malaysia. It's freaking cold here, as if we are living in a gigantic fridge~

And i love this job as an eye opener for me. I've been through lot of my First-time-Experience. First winter. First snow. First Jager Bomb. First Alps. First Eiffel Tower. First time travelling alone..... I hope this list will keep on going.

Hmm~Going to end this post by photos of my girls~

This is the photo that we taken in our home in Jordan by our graduation day.

And this one at the same day, graduation celebration at  korean restaurant with Eva, Mary and Pera.

Happie Flying!!

Have a blessed Friday!!

Fly up high!

Was doing airport stand by for 2 days in a row this week, but i am always the lucky one, the briefing officer always give me flight once i reach the crew center~wish me luck!!Hope that the luck will always be with me!!

The most awesome thing i ever experienced during the 6 flights i operated was entering the COCKPIT for TAKE OFF and LANDING!It was the 6th flight i did. Gosh! I were sitting right behind the captain and first officer. All the shiny flight instruments and overhead control panels were just in front of my eyes. That kind of excitement just simply awesome. And it's unbelievable that i was there in the cockpit as an air stewardess! In fact, the takeoff and landing is the most dangerous part during the whole flight journey. But still i love it! After received the call from cabin, 'Captain, cabin is ready to take off.', the next thing happened, was the engine roared, aircraft was sped up to take off. It felt like i was on a time machine, ready to take off to travel back in time. I held  my breath and suddenly all noises were gone. The aircraft was airborne! I clapped out of excitement when both of the captain and first officer turned to check on me! Forgot to mention one thing, the first officer is totally HAWT!!*wink*

I was called into the cockpit for landing at the 2nd sector. We were in the air of Damascus. The sky was clear that night, and the view from cockpit is breathtaking!! I could die for the view. I super envy those pilots, they can stay in the cockpit and enjoy that kind of great view while they are working. *HATE* The landing was beautifully done by captain.The lights of the runway were like big huge christmas tree on the floor during touch down. It was such an amazing experience for me, this kampung girl.

I love being air stewardess!!;)

Happie Friday peep!!

Available

Im back in this dusty place!

I've already started flying after the graduation. 2 flights before i got back to Malaysia. And 2 flights after i was back in Amman. Gonna do my 4th flight tonight after i am available for 2 days. We called 'no flight day' as 'available day'. Everyone in our batch is dying to fly, cause we get to earn more flying allowances with more flights. Ya, i want more flights as well, cause i want money!:p It was so nice to see everyone flying to different places. Hope all of us get good flight and yummy allowance at the end of the month~;)

I do enjoy my available time. I finished the whole 1st season of Glee which i wanted to watch it for so long as i don't have the time to watch it during the training period. It was awesome! It reminds me of the family that we've got back in uni time. We did strange and freak stuff all the time. We sang in the crowd without bothering others eyes on us, in fact we enjoyed it! We din't know each other at 1st but the friendship grew through time. We laughed together and we cried together. Aww, it was quite a chapter in my life that couldn't be erased even if i grow old.

People learn through experiences. By walking down the journey i've been through, i gained lessons, good one and bad one. Friends and family. And most important thing, the memories we had together!

Before i end this post, i wanna do a lil prayer! I want more flights as well as available time, may be 2 available days in a month, so that i get to spend some time in my little space of mind.

Start of something new

Tomorrow is the day!! Our big day, Graduation day!! Time really flies~ Though the training period is short, we have been through ups and downs. Glad that i had made up my mind to strike for what i want in my life, and i felt extremely grateful for  everything that turned out great for me!! The more i travel along my journey, the more people i meet, and so the more i learn, to love, to thank, to take, to give, to care, to share....


We've got our uniform, our hat, our heels, our baggage sets, our safety manual, everything we need onboard, and we are now equipped with the knowledge and skills to help people out onboard!! Im so effin nervous and anxious for our first flight!! Is it going to be a good or bad one?? Hopefully everything goes smoothly onboard!! And for all my girls, may all of us fly up safely and high!! Happy graduation!!

Have a yippie Monday!!

Happy Vs Pissed

I was staring at the endless soil of Amman this morning while listening to Mayday's song, again!Finally, i cried!! I was so relieve after that!! It was a mixed-feeling cry. Im happy , but I am pissed at the same time!!

I am pissed because i just couldn't take those gossip that go around the circle. You know, GIRLS, girls just couldn't stop talking, i would say that the most well-trained muscle in the body part is the TONGUE!! They can really running around talking about the same topic repetitively. The worst thing is everyone seems like interested in listening to all those gossips! Im SO done with it!! I love to listen when people are gossiping but i would stop gossip it to others. *talk as if im not a girl* :p 

And also, they complain too much! Gosh, there are tonnes of people out there who wants the opportunity so badly that they willing to sacrifice everything just to get the job! People just don't appreciate what they are having. Too much of complaining doesn't help in improving yourself. 

And Im happy because Im here in Jordan living the life i wanted. And i swear, i did my very best everyday in class and never wasted any seconds of my day here in Jordan!

Though im not a flight attendant yet, but i can tell u that it's not going to be easy to become a flight attendant. It's not just about clubbing around the world, it's not just about asking tea or coffee onboard,  it's not just about smiling to passenger onboard. It's more complicated than what you think flight attendant is. And i can tell you bit by bit after i start FLYING!!

Peep, Have a splendid Thursday!!

You're are all medically fit!!

We have done all the administration procedures and legal procedures within this 8 days in Amman, travelling back and forth from one place to another is really a tiring routine. Just couldn't imagine how hectic is the life once we start flying! And tomorrow is the official starting day of our training course, train to become a real air stewardess!

I can't say we are the air stewardess till the whole training course is over. Just today, our medical results were out. 3 of us got called out for further inquiry. Out of 3, 1 has to operate her eyes, another 1 have to go for further check-up, and the last 1 has failed the med check up and send home by tonight's flight!!! GOSH! The room that used to be filled with laughters and noisiness has suddenly became quiet! Dead silence in the room! I was praying in my heart, hope everything is alright, hope i pass my med check up, hope my height won't become a problem for me!! I felt as if i am a leather, just a small breath, then i will be blown away! Never coming back~

Right then, there is this woman, came into the room and announced : You are all medically fit!!
I was like OH MY GOSH!! Im so relieved that i can't speak a word, just running around finding someone to hug!!haha, the feeling is like we just won a champion in choir competition!!!! Exactly!! I was in the cloud nine after all hell!!

There is nothing we cannot do, it's just depends on our will, it's either we want to do or not. Okie, that's ME!! But there was one moment today, i felt that i am so helpless and there is really nothing more i can do to move on further. I can do nothing as i am born to be that way. So i HOPE and PRAY. When we have done our best and we can do nothing further, all we can do is to hope and pray.

I promised i will do my best to chase my dream and live a fruitful life!!

Hope my peer who failed the med check up can move along strong as that's not the end of the world! Go out and lead another wonderful life!!

Peep, Have a great Tuesday!!

Touched Down!

After a 12-hour long-haul flight, i finally stepped on the soil of Amman, the capital of Jordan. This is the 1st time for me being so far away from home, crossed almost half of the globe. Thanks a trillion to Edison, for chauffeuring us to the airport. Thanks to Yilang, Sam, Qing Lynn, and specially Jia le, the unexpected guest!hee~And also my choir family, it really surprised me when i got Cheng Choon's call. Gosh! I thought you guys forgot about me already, never received any messages from you guys. It was very heart-warming to see you all showed up at the airport! T-T

Time to report what we have been doing for the past few days~

We've done some medical check-ups and some legal procedures since day one. Doctor said my hearing is like an old man's hearing. GOSH! Im an old woman~result of going too much of Mayday's concert, with all the blast~hehehe~ Left only the last check-ups which is E.C.G., other than that, everything is fine!! Perhaps im in good condition to fly. :)

Pa and Ma and all my loved ones, I reached Jordan safely! Please don't worry about me, i know how to take good care of myself! Won't get bully by bangala~ ;) Trying to catch up with everything, making new friends and also MISSING ALL OF YOUs!!

Here comes the photo of each post~

Before ending the post, please allow me to say that,

I Am Happie! Because im one step nearer to my dream!


Have a wonderful Thursday!!

Tick Tock

6 more days, and i will be heading to another journey which is totally a different one~ Just couldn't imagine how different is that~ Bah~~

Reluctant to get out of home~wanna stay in here till i rot~:p
