Too Much Weights!

Arrgghh, got myself a sore shoulder from today's workout. Damn... But I did not work my shoulders at all today! So it must have been yesterday's then (shoulders, chest and triceps).

Met up with first officer Nelson Wong of Silkair last week. Looks like his tummy is getting bigger leh! LOL! Told myself I'll always look out for my waistline. He treated me to a great lunch @ TCC T3. Nice posh and quiet outlet.
Last weekend was full of babbling with friends. Saturday met up with Shawn, Elaine, Seewee and Nura @ P.S Cafe. It was Seewee's belated birthday celebration. Dempsey is no longer like what it used to be. It is a lot commercialized now. Sigh, what happened to the quiet enclave in town that little people knew. Looking on the bright side, we now have more choices!
Sunday was spent with the boys @ Clearwater. Had a BBQ by the pool and of course the usual drinks. Been some time since the boys got together as a batch. It was a combined birthday celebration for Husain, Leroy and Nicky. No one was spared that night as we made sure everyone was wet!









Have been keeping up with the runs lately. The marathon in december is inching closer day by day. I'll definitely finish it, but I'll like to have a good timing. Still thinking about the days when I was in the navy. I was a lot lighter then (63kg) and I could finish the run like a walk in the park with good timing (sub 3:30hr)! Now age is catching up plus I'm like 70kg now. LOL!

Am so looking forward to this coming weekend! I rented a space @ the former Big Splash compound to sell 2nd hand clothings. Anthony will be joining me on Saturday and Ian and Carol on Sunday. My only concern now is whether there'll be a crowd there or not. Was skeptical about the Car Boot Sale concept (selling stuff from your car), but opted for the flea market option instead. Heard bad feedback from Carol saying that the Car Boot Sale will be in the blazing heat (saw the compound myself the other day) which is not conducive at all!

Yawns, will write again peeps.

The Reunion!

LOL.... Guess what, I planned a get-together with the boys and gals from batch 793/94! So looking forward to it lah. It seemed like decades ago man. To be honest, I can hardly remember all of their names leh. People say training days were the best and I can't agree more. Though I no longer fly anymore, pleasant memories linger on. Some of us no longer fly anymore, some are married and have babies and of course the rest are still soaring the friendly skies (well not always friendly). I have some old training days pictures but they are on my old desktop which died like 10 years ago. Going to seek help from the grandmaster of IT, dear 'Ah Pek' for help.

This one was taken with my ex-team IFS Pauline and a current IFS Abdullah. Pauline got her CIC damn early and she's still young! The blazer for the guys are now uniform in color, which is black. The differentiation of the ranks is by the number of wrinkles on your face and also by the color of your tie (it complements the color of the kebaya).

This one was taken at the end of my last long team flight. Still remember it was a SQ030 (TPE/LAX). Had a blast man! Rented car and drove all over LAX with 3 of the chio bus. The rides at Magic mountain were awesome!

My last flight was a standby called-up, a CGK turn. Nothing to be proud of ;-) Coming down from that last flight, I bid goodbye to the ovens, my oven gloves, the perculators the infamous SS tray! Wahaha... *Roars

Weiii... For those who thinks it is a lousy job, I beg to differ leh. It is an excellent job and I have no qualms about encouraging anyone to pursue a career as a steward/stewardess. Ok firstly, pay is good (by good I mean sufficient). Secondly, It allows you to travel the world and meet all sorts of people (colleagues and passengers alike). Tell me, how many companies put its employees in world class 5 star hotels? Last but not least, the off days are a plentiful! While your friends are doing a 9 to 5 job, 5 days a week, you are having high tea at Marriot Orchard on a monday afternoon! Trust me this job has more pros than cons.

Oh wait, Hugo's a.k.a Lou-ye's girlfriend just got a call from them, for an interview this Wednesday. All the best Debs.

Sunday will be another day of funs!! The boys from 121 are having our very own reunion @ Clearwater. Lots of BBQ and booze. Can die..
