To bitch and Moan is Ultimate Bliss.
Just got back from Hong Kong! what can i say? I'll rate this as my defining moment for my job. We'll at least for this period of time!

Why? Those who are with me will know. If not, u can try asking me. Company policy states no blogging about work. Which explains why able to bitch and moan is the Ultimate bliss.

Someone told me even his wife doesn't know what's going on about his work, so we shouldn't be telling about our's as well.

Erm right... What are u working as? Special force ah? haha... But it's fine with me if u would like to maintain such secrecy, coz when i was a commando i dun brag about my task and job scope as well. Even till now, i don't as there are many security reasons attached to it.

So to each his own.

But all i could say is if u do not have trust for each other, dun marry the person. As for that "someone" who said he doesn't tell his wife anything, he better hope his wife is not sharing secrets with someone else. haha...

Ok back to Hong Kong trip!

I had a really enjoyable time there dispite those "life defining moments", moments which almost reared my horn but miraculously was subdued by my patience which i have honed during the past few weeks.

Seriously, i dun take shit. haha... proved that i'm a changed person!

Anyway in the past, my CSM once told us we are training him and his patience so he can better deal with his son! haha... Quite true, if this carries on i will be ready for fatherhood! haha... Seriously having kids might be the death of me!

Ok back again to the HK trip! haha... Nah Bei... I keep side tracking.

We were put up at Kowloon hotel located at Tsim Sha Tsui. Not really a fantastic place, but was cosy enough to have a comfortable sleep in. We drop by the crew joint for supper with the rest, before heading back to the hotel for some well deserved sleep!

Following day we were supposed to wake up like 8am but me and my buddy just refused to get out of our bed! haha... But eventually we did so after 10am! haha...


Wanted to Visit Hong Kong Disneyland but it's blood HK$350 for 1 adult admission ticket. Yah, thanks, we only changed HK$500 each. So we decided to go to some place free. So we took the MTR to Causeway Bay! WAH LAN... I got a shock of my life!

Imagine Little India on a Sunday, now imagine they are all Indonesians! Wah... I thot i was in Jakata. We took a short walk around anyway but there wasn't really much to see. Verdict? Dun go causeway bay on Sunday!


So we took the MTR to Central station, where we go visit The Peak! Which boast great scenary. Well, true enough, it provides an awe-inspiring 360 degree view of HK. But i got to say the view of the sea front is the best! Especially at night, unfortuantely we won't be there till night falls! But u could spend the entire day there if u like coz there's a shopping mall there and Madame Tussauds HK is there as well.


The Peak Tram ride will bring u up to the peak at HK$33 for a round trip ticket. Hee... Low cost tour, my kind of tour.


We decided to take a ferry back to Tsim Sha Tsui. Tsim Sha Tsui is actually another island lah. Think of Hong Kong as 2 big Island lah. Surprisingly the MTR is one of the most expensive mode of transportation. It cost HK$11 from Tsim Sha Tsui to Causway bay! But the Star Ferry ride from Central to Tsim Sha Tsui only cost HK$2.20. Central is only 3 stops from Causway bay by MTR. See the difference? If i'm not wrong i think it cost HK$7 or HK$8 from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central by MTR.

We headed back to the hotel to rest coz we were already damn tired, anyway we already had plans for the night, that to visit Avenues of the Stars and see the light display that will start at 8pm!


*Me & my Buddy Azim at Avenue of Stars and our fingers say 29th Oct!

IT'S DAMN NICE CAN!


U should have seen it! All the building lightings on the opposite island (hmm... which means the building at Central right?) were programmed to light up to produce a spactacular display of lights and laser. YAH... there are laser show lor... Imagine marina prominade (think Singapore Skyline with the UOB building, 1 fulluton) all lighted up with colourful lightings and lasers display.


With the colourful lighting running from one building to another! IT WAS DAMN NICE LOR! haha... Made it all worth while already!

Oh and halloween was round the corner as well.

Me and my buddy actually intended to sleep before 10pm to prepare for next day flight but we were in such good mood lor, we went to order pizza back to the hotel and eat lor. Actually it wasn't just pizza lah, it was too much for 2 person liao. But over all, it was really an enjoyable day at Hong Kong.


My flight back was great too! haha... that sets my benchmark for "nice flights". haha...

Lots of thanks to those who make my flight a pleasant one! Not forgetting my buddy too for the enjoyable time in Hong Kong!

To Rest the Tired Mind and Body
Sunday never felt this good ever since... errr... dunnoe when. Strangely i always dread sunday coz it's a damn lonely day at home, there's always the constant naggy feeling of restlessness. But instead, today i just feel like staying home. I even managed to take a nap in the afternoon, something which i seldom do.

Maybe it's because of the hectic past week or maybe it's because i had the most enjoyable time yesterday.

The hectic week has always been the same for the past one and a half months, but yesterday's saturday was different. I went East Coast to cycle with Violet, Lynn, AJ and Kaelyn after our First Aid Lesson. Lionel came to join us later with his blades. Anyway it was not just cycling, we went bowling and shot some pools as well. Seriously i have not had such fun ever since after i ORDed.

Hee... i've also not exercised much after my ORD as well. So yesterday was a great chance for me to work some muscles, which explains the aches today! haha...

Been pretty sick recently as well, could be due to stress, or could be the stupid haze from Indonesia. While having dinner at East Coast's JK Don, the TV was showing Jewel in The Palace and at the top left corner of the screen was showing the PSI index. NA BEI... the PSI was 113. In fact, ever since afternoon the haze was above 100. So while cycling in the afternoon we've been breathing in that shit already.

Seriously, this is not a new problem. It has been going on for the past 8 to 9 years and the world has gotten used to it. The complains were merely just for the sick of complaining, hoping something would change. But the fact remains, greed has always been the root of the problem. Slash and burn cultivation has always been used for self substained farming but judging from the big plots of land being burn, commercial farming seems most likely the culprit.

There is nothing anyone can do unless these people are being educated about the harm they would caused to the environment. But then again, their lives are already hard enough, do u think they would give a damn about the environment? So it all voice down to their government to make the changes. Whether anything has been done, all u have to do is to look out of the window during this time next year and u would have your answer.

Anyway the A380 has been grounded till Oct next year. From the looks of it i might even be able to train on the A380 by the time the company recieve them. For now, A380 are reserved for the damn senior crews only. haha... But at the rate things are going, by the time the company recieve half of its A380 fleet i would be senior as well already.

A380 or not, as long as i get AMS, EWR, JFK, FRA, LHR and so on... flights every month i would be smiling ear to ear everyday! ha! Let me chalk up on my IFA, meal and nightstop allowances and let me do some shopping! haha...

I'm a simple person and i'm not hard to satisfy.
Money and shopping, something to look forward to everyday!


**lalalala... Last day of SEP! Saying goodbye to training side soon!

Oh yah, last week i saw Aloysius (Rachel's brother) at STC canteen. Wanted to avoid him, but too bad my batchmates decide to exit by the door he was sitting nearest to. Guessed he saw me, so i might as well say "hi". Well, he was definately surprise to see me.

His response was, "wow... u joining us?" and then he saw my crew pass and was like "wow... u joined us already?" then he saw my SEP file, "Wow... SEP already?"

haha... er... more like i'm going to graduate really soon next month lor! haha... But bet he was surprise. But the ultimate question still came, "have u told my mom u're joining?"

This is one question i cannot really answer. The problem is, his mom is also my ex girlfriend's mom and there are something i dun want her to know. So the answer is "no, i've not told her."

Why i dun want her to know? It's a long story.

But i'm glad he let me make my own decision when to tell his mom. I think it would be most probably when i graduate. Or best... Never at all.

To the best of her knowledge, she thinks i'm working as an assistant engineer in a computer firm located somewhere in Pasir Ris, Heee... sounds familar right? Wait... Ah Bee... Isn't that your job? haha...

Frankly speaking i could have ended up working as an AE, but i chose to see the world. What does the world look like? There's still much to be revealed. Travelling is not just about sightseeing, it's also about experencing cultures and people.

Anyway last Wednesday i saw Quinn at STC canteen as well, she came back for Recurrent trainings. I already had my lunch so i just accompanied her for her lunch and did some catching up. The last time i saw her was 2 years back during my army days when we met up with Carina for Tim Sum at Dragon Gate Restaurant at Harborfront. Time really flies.

Soon, days at STC will become a distant memories, but one can only hope the friendship formed can stand the test of time and it may remain as true as it was today.

Nah Bei...
Working life really sucks. It's not the workload, or the job. It's always the people. It's especially so in Singapore. They bring grudges into their profession, affecting their decision making and... what the fuck, let us just call these people "Chee Bye", "KNNBCCs"...

Nah bei, really bring out that ah beng spirit in me man!

I'm now very wary of those so called "chio" gals. So called "chio" coz on the outside they are pretty flower vase but if u were really to look inside them, it's all fill with rotten stuff, rotten to the core.

Now i find that Bimbotic gals are not as bad as they were thought to be, coz they are just empty flower vase, u could still fill them up with something useful. But these so called "chio" gals even if u attempt to empty their rotten content, they will still stink inside out! coz they have been filled with rotten stuff for too long inside. It would take tremendous amount of cleaning to clean them up!

Yes i know not all gals are like that but i can say 70% to 80% are like that coz they have gotten away with it ever since young. They have used their beauty ever since young to get what they want and naturally guys being "Chee Hong" will give in to them. If u dun, u appear ungentlemanly in the view of other. Like saying, "how could u be so bad to a gal. Especial to such a pretty gal, as if like u are very handsome like that."

Frankly, even if she is Miss Singapore, i won't give a fuck. And No, i'm not very handsome but i'm not that bad looking either.

Sorry but pretty gals have no effect on me. Neither will sexual favours work on me. I'm not gay, i'm also not righteous. The only thing is i have my own principle which i live by.

1) I dun suck up.

2) I dun chee hong.

3) I dun do to impress gals to like me.
I'm capable means i'm capable.

4) Sex is for pleasure not as a trade off. (thus sexual favour dun work)
Anyway if anyone ever say sex is not for pleasure then it's for what? Breeding ah? Na bei... Do u know dolpins and humans are the only 2 creatures on earth that can have sex for pleasure. If u want to be like the rest of discovery channel u can go ahead.

5) I do what is right & best for everyone.
So even if u are a gal i like, but u are jeopardizing everyone i will still hang u out to dry.

6) I dun really believe in BGR love.
Coz the context of it is written in favor of the female.

7) I value friendship.
Going out with friends takes precedence over dating.

8) I do not show favouritism nor prejudice.
I help anyone that needs help.

9) I do not judge the book by it's cover.

10) Show Respect to everyone. Junior or Senior.
Respect is a 2 way thing, u dun repect others, others will not respect u.
Do not ask for respect, it will be given only when deserved.

10) Everyone deserves a second chance if they are willing to change. *New Entry
haha... Coz in the past i'm very evil one, i dun give second chance. But being buddhist, u must believe 善有善报 恶有恶报. Karma lah in short.

But frankly, if we were to crash somewhere in the pacific ocean, there would be those i would be very reluctant to resue. I would rather the sharks have them for lunch. Coz they dun really benefit the society but then again, neither are they really environmentally friendly to serve as fish food, they are too rotten to be eaten.

Nevertheless i will still rescue these miserable piece-of-shits, becoz i'm a buddhist. Buddhism teaches forgiveness. I shall forgive these people for gossiping behind me, for stabbing me in the back, for cursing me hoping i fail my asssessment, for SWIMMING AWAY from me during water evacuation training. Seriously, if she does that during a real water evacuation, i will not bother to save her, coz 10 others need my help more than her. She can go serve herself as fish food! The only victim is the shark which will have a bad tummy ache from eating bad fish food.

As u can see my days during training is not really a bed of roses. Those wanting to join this profession be warned. It can get real bitchy in there. Of coz there are those really nice ones but there are those really wicked ones and they go all out to crush u. They will built their happiness upon your misery.

There are bitches in every industry, but in here, they take on a whole new level. In fact what they say and do really appears childish, but they can produce devastating results.

But i believe in karma, they will get what they deserve. I'll just do my job, treat everyone else with respect and be a friend to those who wants my friendship. Like big Ben always says during training- "I am your friend!" haha... It has sort of become my motto already!

Sorry Friends for not blogging!
The past few week had been really busy. I just finished 2 exams and mind u the passing mark is 80%. damn... i failed one of the papers and have to resit. I failed by 0.5 marks. Anyway i pass the resit with only 1/2 a mark deducted! Haha... But had a additional sleepless night, mugging for the exams.

So u see, those that think my job is easy, it's actually not. Alot of knowledge is required.

Anyway yesterday exams was easier than i thot, that was really a relief, coz i fell damn sick on friday. Someone brought the flu virus into class. So took medicine and went to sleep at night. Didn't really study. I only started my revision at 5am the next morning. Nevertheless, still pass lah, that is the most important.

Actually i was trying for the best trainee, wanna find out how it like lah, but after 2 exams, i see everybody getting almost perfect scores, i think it's really damn impossible! haha... But like they say, pass can already, best trainee dun earn u extra pay. haha... We all still get the same salary. So best trainee or not, as long i get money coming in every month, i'm happy already! But of coz, i'll still do my best, coz i'm jonathan mah! perfectionist... haha... Just that there are like 20 other perfectionists along with me!

Ok, after all the stressful days and nights of studying for exams... Last night we went to dbl O to celebrate. Post exams celebration. Haha... One hell of a party and one hell of a headache the next day! haha...

I'll try to post more in the future, but it may be shorter ones... time is really a luxury now.

AND dun worry, i'll remember to post pictures too!
