Milan, Italy

I was almost give up on this flight. Hmm… Because I was overlooked my roster. It’s really terrible for a flight attendant, it may cause a lot of problems and profile will be not clear any more.

I traded this Milan flight one day before my original flight. Confident to myself, did not double check the reporting time and date. Careless. That night I went to bed around 2300 and the Milan flight’s reporting was 0145. I was still under “Know Nothing” situation.  Check hostess outside my compound called to my mobile phone to check on me and my housemate Sam picked it up,she was watching movie in the living room. I believe she get shocked in that moment. Of course I’m sleeping. Sam banged into my room and woke me up. Shit! My mind was empty, I know I’m late. I was wondering to take medical sick leave. But this matter will cause my profile in bad record. I don’t want. I told the check hostess I will get ready as soon as possible and reach to her. I immediately put on my uniform (without makeup), packed “throw” all my needed stuffs into my luggage. Sam was helping and me what to bring and what to do. Take a deep breath for 2 seconds, make my mind clear.

Ran to check hostess and report myself. Check hostess : ” You are able to catch the flight.” Get into the bus … and I’m saved. Sweat~ Ive another 10min to put on my makeup in operation before reporting time.

Night flight,didn’t rest well and I was in bad condition. My headache was killing me in the flight. After 5hrs and 30 min flight,finally I’ve arrived. Body was screaming “I NEED TO REST!” Slept in the crew bus while on the way to the hotel. Reached the hotel, removed my makeup,washed my face and ly on the bed. But I couldn’t sleep, jetlag. Put on a simple makeup again and went out alone.

First station : Santa Maria da Grazie. Metro : Conciliazione

To see master art “The Last Supper” by Leanardo da Vinci’s late 1490s mural painting in Milan,Italy.

I was pretty lucky when I on the way to St.Maria, I met a sister and she guided me there. Reached there around 1010 in the morning and the available ticket for next group to visit the paint was 1245. I bought the ticket and walked around. At that time I met a Chinese bag packer,DaShan who studying in UK. As he was waiting to visit the art too. We make friend there and he bought me to places that I wanted to visit. I’m a lucky girl ^_^

He bought me to Castello Sforzesco and took me a lot of nice photos.

 

 Although it's just first met and it's in random we do share a lot of our experienced life stories. That's interesting.

This huge palace was amazed me, what I watched from movies and read from the fairy tale story books palace is really exist and I'm here =)

Also feel like in Harry Potter magic school ... Lol 

Thank you DaShan, you took me a lot of nice photos. 

After the palace we were heading to the famous church Duomo. He knew the way and I saved plenty of time from reading the map.

Duomo

I failed to find the Longchamp store =( I know you are somewhere here.

Half an hour before visit the "The Last Supper" we went back again to Santa Maria de Grazie. The authentic paint is located in a hall under protection and it's not allow to take picture inside. So I just able to take this outside the church. Feel bless... after seeing the authentic art piece. =)

After we had our lunch we went back to Duomo and that's the time we have to say goodbye. He need to catch a train to another destination,Venice. Before he left I gave him a piece of 1 Saudi Riyadh paper note as souvenir.

A photo to remember.^_^

And than I went up to the roof of Duomo alone.

I'm at top of the roof.

Next time coming to Milan again I'll take a train to Venice. Hope it will come soon. =)
And thanks for reading my blog.^^

Ouhh Manchester~

After Manchester(MAN) flight had been stop flying for several years,I don't know how long it is exactly. This is my honor to operate the first flight from Manchester to Jeddah. Lucky me =) Although it's only a short layover but most important is I'm flying with my housemate,Sam.

Super excited! BECAUSE I'm going to most of the guys dream football stadium "MANCHESTER UNITED STADIUM" located at Old Trafford. That's first cool~ I even did online search bout ManU team song and learn to sing "Glory,Glory Man United. Glory,Glory Man United." hahahaha... Second cool,that's I'm going to deadhead (as a passenger but in uniform) all the way to London!!! Wowww... And we had been upgraded to First Class. No need to squeeze in a small seat and enjoyed better food,I could sleep well on a 180' with massage comfortable seat. When I woke up,breakfast is ready to serve.
At this time captain came and asked
Captain, "Make sure all of you with UK visa."
Me, "Malaysian,we do not need UK visa."
Captain, "I know better than you."

... Sigh,the truth is I fly without UK visa and I'm on board at that time. Captain "ARE YOU OK?Please don't fool bout yourself." Arab's ego style. So I just keep quiet and look at Sam who sitting beside me. 

After we arrived at London we had to take British Airways fly to Manchester. Third cool~ Few girls with checked in luggage were in another ground Sam was there and I'm going to immigration like normal passengers. (At that time all crews having liquid more than 100ml in our hand luggage) One of the senior crew asked the ground staff bout information where and how to check in our hand luggage. The "I know better" captain speak out to all of us "If you want to ask any thing,ask me. Please do not simply question any body here." =_= Fine,so we followed what he did. The immigration took us a lot of time. And it's close to our departure time. After the immigration our hand luggage still with us. We follow the flow took a lift and ....(trouble came)... It's security check. I didn't see the captain at that time,crews were worried bout their hand carried luggage. As you,you,you,and you know,more than 100 ml liquids are not allow to bring in. Of course all of us know,but we cant go back to the level where we came before that. Time is running,the "I know better" gone. We had no choice and have to tell the securities bout our problems. Such a shame. Crew members with more than 100 ml liquids going through security. One of the crew was not willing to dispose her items and showing bad attitude. Sorry to say that even you are my colleague. She almost delayed all of us and brought troubles to the supervisor. This trip was ruined with this incident. Anyway we still managed to catch our flight and safely arrived to Manchester.
