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.

New York

Again it’s a late post about my New York trip. I use the word “Trip” because I never take my operation flight as a work. I try my best to enjoy every single flights and destinations even it’s a short layover. Last year November I got my D Visa (Crew U.S visa).Feel blest when I got my U.S visa as a crew who just flying for 7 months that time in my current company.(normally need to fly above 1 year) I got my first U.S flight on December 2013,operating to New York(JFK). Of course I’m so excited =D

13hours flight,such a looooong flight from Jeddah. First of all I feel appreciate and at the same time I’m quite nervous. LoL~ U.S flight we are having different kind of services from other flights and I’m taking Business class galley position. Some thing new for me. Luckily I’ve a very helpful and kind main galley crew colleague. Feel appreciate because I learned a lot. Thanks to one of the lazy crew member too because of her working efficiency ,I gotto do her part too. But it’s OK,I learned.

After arrived, it was 1300 local time in NY,8 hours behind Jeddah time, JETLAG @_@ Hotel’s far away from the airport. After arrived to the hotel I changed immediately and went out alone. In the hotel I met a very kind driver who drove me to the train station. He gave me a lot of useful information about how to take the local and time available to pick me up from the same station.
#1 ,2   Prepare myself and GO! I'm going to see real city. ^_^ 



U.S’s train service was not that convenient as Europe. Anyway I still manage to get to my desire destination, New York Time Square. The city was awesome full with colorful lights billboards. I keep on walking non stop because the weather was freezing.

Belated Vacation Month Post

Hello everyone, today I’m gonna talk about my last February. Its my vacation month. Yes,is whole month! Before flying back to Malaysia I had promised myself I’ll try my best to meet up all my friends in my hometown,Ipoh.  So later you will see a lot of handsome and pretty faces. =D  
I leaved Jeddah on 28th January, arrived on 29th 1300 local time. Took a Yoyo bas from KLIA to Ipoh. And 30th is “Chap Gor Mei” reunion dinner. I’m just in time. While all the aunties and my mum busying for the dinner, I went out. Heehehehe… “don’t scold me please.” I went out and met a long lost friend who came from Penang. We had promised to meet this day while I’m still in Jeddah. Need appointment ohhh~

My decision & Turkey

I no more update my blog as frequent like few years ago when I was still in uni,I’m sorry bout that. But one thing makes me less blogging is because of the wifi connection here. No,there’s no wifi supplying by the compound. I’m only using my Hotspot from my smart phone and the connection is sucks.

Alright forget bout the idiot connection. Last post was blogging bout my life in Jeddah here and today I’m going to tell you bout my latest news. Oh ya,before I forgot,Thank you some readers who giving me some comments bout my post, appreciate it. You guys are my motivation of continue blogging.
First thing I want to say is “I decided to stay in Jeddah!” Ya,I’m not transferring back to Malaysia. Surprise? Hmmm… Reasons that I’m staying as simple as ABC,guess what?
I just want to achieve my dream to join in a better airlines. Never give up with this goal. I’m still learning and fight for it. Another reason is after transferring back to KL base I will have no more chance to other destinations,gotto say good bye to my Paris,London, Johannes berg…etc. Common,I’m not going just to fly KUL-JED-KUL and layover in Jeddah and getting domestic layover expenses. NO WAY! Kind of major reason of refuse to go back to Malaysia base too. Agree? Next,no more cheap tickets and base allowance. No again for me. I’m not originally from KL so I gotto rent a house or room,I’ve to drive(there’s drivers here sending me to work ),paying toll and petrol. Every thing’s expensive except KANGKUNG. LoL~ So So So, better for me to stay. “Sah?” in Arabic is “Right?”  ^_^

Where were my last destination last time? London!

After that I went to Istanbul in Turkey. Pictures tell better than words,enjoy!   
 Blue Mosque






 with flying partner(left) and gentleman first officer. 
 Local tea. Not thing special.
I never expect that Istanbul is such an amazing beautiful city.Wow,to Istanbul! It’s only 25hrs layover I couldn’t do much. And wasted a lot of time waiting SOME people. Hate it. If there’s next time,I will visit Hagia Sophia,Galata Tower and Taksim. For sure!
Coming up next will be JFK.What’s JFK? You will know soon. Good night for now,sweet dream everyone. =)
