Miss it
i didn't sleep well yesterday night. slept late but woke up early. as usual, had my mac breakfast.
it was disappointing as the hot cakes was different and not as tasty. i guess it was overcooked or the ingredient was of wrong portion. the hot cakes was hard to chew. the harsh-brown was soggy and the sausage patty wasn't cooked well. I tot of complaining, but just let the idea go. i was tired and there are a couple of things on my mind troubling me then my not so perfect mac breakfast.
by the way the other time when i complain to mac, they sent me a coupon for sausage muffin. and the few following week the response was promptly when i called.
this few nights when i was sleeping, i miss flying. i miss Tokyo and i miss new york the most.
ima printed out a couple of really nice photo i took at Tokyo Disneyland. and pasted it outside the wall of my room. i looked at it and felt like crying. i miss those times.
i couldn't believe i actually survived the too boring training period at japan narita. where there is no radio, no TV, basically my only entertainment was shopping and my classmates. and most of the time was spent mugging my too thick aeroplane and emergency notes... but i miss it.
i miss the time where i could feel snow and wear thick junky winter clothings and out shopping like crazy at forever 21 and charlotte russes and coach.
i miss wearing the JAL uniform although the size i took was too big for me, i still look smart. i miss the enviousness i see in other girls eyes when i tell them i was working for JAL, although my response to them is "it's a shitty job".
i still remember when i was sitting at T1 after a flight waiting for dongz to pick me up. a girl of my age or younger than me, looked at me for really long, probably hoping to be just like me. but i wanted to tell her its not glam at all.
then i thought of those scary times when i was so tired and bone skinny becuz of the job. the time when i fainted on the aircraft. those scary times woke me up to reality.
at SQ, you will do cabin duties (serving) when you are a junior, and then move on to galley duties (kitchen + cabin) when you are much senior. in fact they are lucky as the guys are usually doing the galley duties. whereas JAL has got almost all girls/woman/bitches/aunties so we have to take turn. and very very sway one, usually is junior or foreign crew that kena the nasty duty (galley).
i remembered once when i was at 747 aircraft doing the double galley duty job and it was my first set of flights. nobody helped me. the other singaporean crew was doing business class duties was in front of the aircraft. and i was alone. (the whole flight has got only 2 singaporean crew, it was a newyork-sao Paulo flight)
the sad thing was. nobody helped me. it was snowing outside but i was sweating like crazy doing the meal counts as i was running to & fro the 2 galley.
anyway there were lots more other nightmare. i just felt like mentioning one for the moment.
i miss the job. but i definitely dont miss working with japanese. cuz they sucks big time, just like some of the people i am working with now.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
It is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
Parting is such sweet sorrow. 1:12 PM
