應該完結了...

尋晚 MJ Panda Ceremony 如期舉行, 雖然我心情唔係幾好, 但係每次 MJ 聚會都會令我開心番, 有太多gap 野, 唔笑唔得! 除左有大家期待左好耐既熊貓之外, 仲有好多野食, 同埋久違了既燒味飯加咸旦, 好開心!


最估唔到既, 係MJ Alliance 買左生日旦糕同我慶祝! 我仲以為自己入錯房, 點解會黑哂, 電視都熄埋......原來早有預謀, 我真係好 surprised!! 多謝我親愛的 MJ 好友, 多謝你地既關心同支持!!!


今日係 8月31 號, 過去呢年可算係我人生中最多起跌既一年, 一直都覺得自己好幸運, 一路上都好平坦好順利, 但係呢一年實在有太多出乎意料既事, 我自己都做錯好多野......我真係希望所有唔好既野都會完結.


我只係希望可以開開心心, 健健康康, 唔想再有眼淚同傷痛,

誠心希望聽日之後會有個新既開始!!

lucky day

17/8 Original roster is a turnaround to Xian in the evening.
My luck started by a call about flight delay, so I could enjoy 2 more hours at home.
So, 2 hours later waiting for a bus to go, got another call asking if I take anything for overnight....why overnight stuff? I was just going to Xian, turnaround.
"no no, you might need to fly Chengdu overnite after Xian...staying 2 nights there as usual."
Why me??? Xian + Chengdu? Isn't it too much??
No choice.......rushed back home to take my suitcase.

I had a lot of question marks:
Why I need to fly Chengdu?
Where is the original crew to Chengdu?
Who am I flying with now?
???

Downstairs of office, met some colleagues who was original crew to Chengdu.
"We are going home now, you are flying??"
".......ha? you are going home? why? what happen?"
More question marks.

Back to office, completely different crew from my Xian flight,
where are my crew? Only me got chosen??
It was a mess in the office, since an aircraft broke down.
I felt so grey, many questions but nobody was free to asnwer.
Other crew in my new team were also changed from turnaround flight.
We could just swallow.

Xian flights were ok, but too long....back to HK afte midnight, so tired and sleepy. None of us were ready to fly overnight!
However, the show just started now at 1am!

Once we arrived HK, the ground staff told us the pax were very angry for the delay. We had to be ready they might make troubles.
(We were tired enough......come on!)

Then they grabbed all our blankets from aircraft to distribute to the animals in the terminal. The animals claimed that they have been freezing for many hours. (well...animals never use air-con like HK people)

Boarding........Animals rushing in

"Hey, give me a blanket!"

"I am sorry, ground staff has just taken all our blankets and distributed to you at the gate just now. I have no mroe blanket here."

"xyz#$%......I don't have any, give me!" shouting.

"Didn't they give you one just now?"

"I didn't know...I don't have any!!" shouting more loud.

"I really don't have any blanket now, I am sorry. I could ask captain to adjust the temperature. It'll be warmer later"

"I am dying now. Give me a blanket!" crazily shouting.
"My child must be sleeping now since you are so late.....how can she sleep without blanket? What if she is sick? blah blah blah......." keep on shouting.

"I do understand. If I have one blanket now, I must give it to you."

"You understand? Are you a mother?" she thought she won by speaking in this way.

"Anyway, I would not keep any blanket for myself. I'll get back to you later"

Back to galley........XYZ#&*%!
Told Larry about this kind of conversations which are just crazily asking for blankets. I believed this was just one of many troubles in the cabin. I was trapped at the back, it could be even more worse with other colleagues. Larry asked ground staff to bring us blankets by any way they can, otherwise we wouldn't takeoff. Waaaa.....ging ar!

Finally a pack of new blankets was brought to the aircraft and we specially started distributed to the most noisy women. Thought that it could shut their mouths.

Then we started safety demo, one of the noisy women at the back, again....

"Give my daughter a blanket!"

(What? Just started distributing to you 2 mins ago!)
"We have just distributed the blankets. Why didn't you take one?
We are showing safety demo now, please watch it first."

"She doesn't have a blanket!!!!!!!!!" shouting in high tone.

"I have no more blanket coz we have given them all to pax 2 mins ago. My colleague started giving it to you from right here.
Please watch the safety demo now"
(Shut up la......ho fan!)

"They took the blankets but my daughter doesn't have any......."

(what do you want bitch??? you didn't take it when we gave it to you!)
"Everyone has to watch this safety demo now, please sit down and don't influence the others."
I went back to the gallery looking at the safety demo.

"Who influence me huh? you delay so long.... it's so cold........"
She kept yelling at the aisle and everyone was looking at her. By the way, She had a blanket herself but not willing to give it to her daugher. She was wearing the blanket as a cloak like a superwoman.

She was too loud, I must stop her, so I went back to her unwillingly.
"Miss, can you sit down now and watch the safety demo?"

"Give a blanket to my daughter!!!"

"If she's cold, why don't you give yours to her?" I lost my patience.

"......why doesn't she deserve a blanket? why she has no blanket?"

"You are disturbing other pax to watch the safety demo, if you continue, we are not taking you to Chengdu. Sit down now!"

"xy#^&........." I had no idea what she was yalling.

"Ok, I am not talking to you anymore." I rushed back to the galley, wanted to report it.

She sat down immediately and didn't mention about the blanket anymore.


Only dealing with her has wasted a lot of my energy at 1:30am.
After take-off, many of them fell asleep and shut up.
Left us some peaceful times, finally.

We arrived Chengdu almost 4am. We were extremely exhausted.
But the cleaners never rushed. We were waiting for them to finish and were not able to leave the aircraft until 4:30am.

Nightmare ended at 5:30am when we could finally go to bed.

just a causal talk

I don't feel like to leave my blog empty without update.
But I was really lost and didn't know how to express myself.
Now I finally come back.

The toughest flying week of this month is over. Still alive but urgently need a good massage. Good to be safe during standby days. But I start to feel contradicting. Yesterday I was flying with a colleague who loves working, the reason is that it's too boring to stay at home. Right, I agree, even though I am more lazy. We were talking about what to do during free time, the conclusion is: not much we could do. So it's still better to fly, chit-chat and gossip, see different people's faces in this world and earn money. I don't mind to fly more now, but Small S just reminded me that upcoming my 10 days annual leaves have been approved......

Few days ago, got a new camera finally. Cheap but good outlook and quality. I could take more photos of life and flying then. The next target is a notebook. I have just found that I want a notebook during my stay in Chengdu. Not every time the crew would go out since the hotel is so remote and they have been to most interesting places. It is getting more and more boring to stay 2 nights there. A friend has recommended DELL to me, looks good and right price. But what I like most is the variety of colors....haha, female!


Though, I would still go to visit Panda Base at least once first! I still haven't been to there. I know I am the rare one among all crew. Just hope to fly with other panda lovers!














My little panda accompanying me in Chengdu.

Still haven't given it a nice nickname......

dying from flying

It's my toughest flying week.
After 6 days, hopefully today I am safe at home and continue tomorrow.
It would not be that bad if the flights were on time since the loading was light in this period.
But the weather just made us delay again and again.
The typhoon on Wed seemed not so influencing but the weather in Xian was just worst. One hour delay in HKG and 3 hours delay in Xian.......waiting and waiting.
We didn't land until almost 4am and arrived home at 5am. The worst is I still had to fly the next day afternoon reporting at 4:30pm. Last night came home at 1:30am, very early in comparison! What kind of company is that?? We felt very much mistreated. Lack of crew, but crew lacks rest. Fatigue!!!!! God bless all of you guys! Take care!
Sour legs and pain all over my neck and back now......like an elderly. >_<
Take good care of me too!

Learning

No need to work these 3 days. It's my paradise before flying 8 days in a row from Saturday.


Had a very good sleep but neck pain after got up. It started since yesterday while I was trying to undo some broken pieces. I have spent 5 hours with them without noticing I didn't move for 5 hours. I could just undo little bit, very little bit compared to all. It's so important but I have tried hard already. Somehow, things broken can't be easily repaired or can't even be repaired at all.

I am in a new learning process now. Need to be given lot of chances, instead of blames and sarcasm. It's very difficult to accomodate to a completely different person from myself. At least I could not predict what he needs and wants are the same things as I do. I used to think that the care I gave him was something he needed, same as me, but then it was actually not. So I really need to be told and taught directly and simply. Regardless of my own feeling, I would need to know and learn.


I have never done this before in my life. There are lot of difficulties, especially those I have to keep for myself only. Right, he told me that I should know his need and how I should do it better. I agree and accept and I will try. But do not think that I could predict everything, coz what I need is different. Where there is a crash, war just breaks out again.


I ask for a sign, no matter in what situation. A sign to let me know what's happening. I have my own wish and need too. When my need cannot be fulfiled, it is ok, I'd help you. But please at least remember that I have my need too. When you are happy and when you are interested to know, I would be more than happy to tell you.
