Adelaide- my 2nd time into Australia


My first time in Adelaide~

Believe this..we had;

1) o hours of sleep since evening the day before.
2) 0 hours of rest- literally "walking" to Adelaide.
3) 1 full day to tour around n cruise the streets
Reporting time was 10 am the next day. Touchdown time was 9am.

We went straight out to the nearest shopping street- Rundell St.

We wasted 40 mins loolking for the right direction, but fortunately was captivated by the beauty of the town along the way;

















~Pictures worth a Thousand Words~














And this...is the beauty of Glenelg West~ I felt like not coming back again =)






























This angler guy was funny, he came into the picture without my knowledge! That's good anyway, it just adds some spice into the pic ;) .


And so, there you go..that was Adelaide; a very laid back, comfy place everyone wants to be to have a getaway for a while, after a long hectic working period to just take a deep breath and enjoy the beauty of nature and a suburb experience..
We caught the late tram back to the hotel at around 9pm..boy I was very stoned I nearly fell asleep on the way back. Thank goodness we had a fairly later reporting time the next day I managed to have 12 hours of deep sleep that I was so energized the next day I had no problem "walking" back to SG again..haha.

Thank God for another safe flight =) .

1st few Solos

~Batch 980 is history~

We're taking up our 1st step to independence in our career not as a batch anymore. Of course the bittersweet memories are memorable and remembered, but the next few moments of the new beginning is even more worth remembering..

1st Solo- Bangkok turn- Challenging

It was my 1st, yes my 1st! I wonder if they got my message across during the briefing...I said "It was my 1st TIME flying", not "1st MONTH flying" =S.

It was close to disastrous. My stuck up leading was breathing under my neck; she expect me to be 6 years flying and be as fast as her. OK, I was as humble as I could be with lotsa "sorry"s and "thank you"s. It was so bad until the PPS couldn't take it anymore until he had to pen down about her stuck up attitude.

Thank goodness the misjudgment was not left unseen ;) . Thanks Mr. K.

2nd solo- Beijing- Fun n Friendly

1st step on board, the situation was a lil' intense n I didn't know what to expect although we ran thru some intro during the briefing. I guess they were just being cautious and looking out for "attitudes" in a few new crew uncluding myself.

Later on thru the nite at about 35000 ft above, despite my drowsiness n stone-ness, they were very understanding and literally load me with information. And the challenge is to decipher all of their years of experience and put them into practice.

Touchdown- my 1st time in Beijing. The weather was cooling, but the city was clouded with haze. They told us it's very normal in Beijing. Goodness. We had lunch in a nearby restaurant- smoked duck, soup, varieties of taufu n some vege n mushroom dishes Beijing style. Our bellies were bloated n we still left half of the dishes on the table. Our bad, we wasted the food but is was crazily cheap! $40 for 5 of us. LOL.

We did a lil stocking up at Carrefour after a walk at Yashow. I got myself a nice winter jacket for a bargained low price. Feeling? Satisfied =). I experienced my 1st maddage session at the nearby center and it was not as good as I expected. Nvm, we had to try new things too.

Amy was great. She was my mentor and a real friend throughout the trip. Thanks so much for ur help. You remind me of my great fren n sis, Susan.

Signing off here. Check out the updates on my next entry. Take care ya'll.

Feeling Like Crap!

Seeing him moving on isn't easy. I can't bear to go through the cycle all over again, as if the first time wasn't tough enough to get by. I hate it. And now I've to go through all of this again. I know I was forcing myself to let things go and see it in a different way altogether, but deep down inside, it's not as easy.

I hate the fact that there's this someone comes along, or so to speak had been there all this while along the road, waiting for the opportunity to snatch away things for their own benefit and literally "rob" them away, before the the person involved ever realised it. I could never the comprehend the reason for all this sh*t I've to go through. It seemed rational at one side, but on the other, I wasn't able to comprehend. It's the reason my heart could never understand or learn how to accept although my head said it was rational. So much for my female intuition..It never failed me.

So much for understanding me. So much for doing the things that cares for my feelings. So much for all of that sh*t. So much for me being immature. So much for all that lame excuses. I couldn't seem to buy them. Somehow, I still look like a stupid kid who doesn't know how to control her feelings and just making a fool out of herself.

Stupid, naive and gullible lil' girl. She could just be swallowed whole by the hungry wolf and she would still thank him for his generosity to swallow her whole n not leaving the other half to suffer. A bigger lesson learned this time. Again my heart's shattered into pieces. Feeling very painful inside.

I hate this!
