.....here i go again.

i got called up for beijing tomorrow morning; reporting at 6.45am.


Pick up is at 6am.





at least it disrupted my Columbo turn.



back on 31st night.

.....any more coincidences?

yesterday i was doing boarding [called up for Jakarta] and as I was helping a female passenger put her cabin bag up, her luggage tag dropped and dangled it front of my face, with big black letters:

"IVANA LIM"

i wonder where I heard that one before.

thanks ah, chun kiat.

Amsterdam!

For the benefit of those who claim they do not go through Facebook pictures, here are my shots in Amsterdam. =)

canals after canals..

I wanted to iceskate but no kaki...=(

visited the wooden clog factory and windmills!

dun buy anything from there.....bluff my money only!

well, i really loved it, the sights, the view, the feel of old european culture.

highly recommended.

Merry Christmas!

packing my bags

Taipei temperature forecast for next three days:

Tue 18°C - 17°C
Wed 20°C - 17°C
Thu 19°C - 17°C

will be rainy, and is the beginning of winter.

should i bring a thicker jacket? cos i'm so afraid of the cold.
or should i bring long sleeves and a jacket; but i dun own a mid-range jacket.
should i bring my new yellow mango cotton trench? but i scared i look too dressed-up, cos have to match with boots.

it's very question-mark weather.


i have no idea what to pack.
and i don't have much time left to decide.



maybe i should just bring a bit of each.

It's starting to feel a bit like Christmas..

Just back from a Denpasar turn...and its off to Taipei tomorrow night!
will be spending Christmas eve there, and flying back on Christmas Day.

I don't know about you, but I haven't been feeling the Christmas spirit for a while now.
But am still a bit excited about counting down in Taipei, even though i can't spend it with my loved ones. Will be flying there with some of the crew that did the turn today! it was a great flight, and we all worked well together! we clicked and had fun. too bad can't go with the same crew tomorrow...~ but some were quite enthu; said that we should sleep the whole day, and go for the countdown and celebrate til call time. Siao.

i can't wait to go shopping!

Back again.

I keep "I'm going here" and "i'm back".

tiring.

well, back from Fukuoka. Short trip, but managed to do some Christmas shopping.


got some stuff from agnès b for pressies. so cheap there!

*pic from another blog. will post pics of mine when i get it done.

got this bag charm with turquiose crystals! three of them for me, charmaine and yenlin.

its so gorgeous! and i got a keychain for alex too!

update when i have the strength.


It was a bad flight back. stupid chief.

So Upset....

I was praying so hard I would get a turn for my standby.....so that I could be there on that day for him...


but this morning, that fateful call made me so upset....

i got called up for Fukoka, and will be back only on that day itself; meaning i will miss the eve and most of the day...


and i had so much planned.



i hate disappointments. =(

I'm back from Male, Maldives.


you know what?

i forgot my passport and had to go all the way home to get it.

It's My Day

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Thanks for all the well wishes and birthday greetings!

oh, and they are right when they say alcohol is a depressant.

Greetings from Brisbane

it's 12.42am in Brisbane now.

and i'm blogging cos I managed to get possession of the computer in the crew room.


i'm tired and had four Heinekens, so am a bit slow on the keyboard now.
its saturday and i'm stuck in brisbane with nothing to do but grab free internet access.


the crew is so boring....all they want to do is sleep!

i went out to buy food and i saw this cool looking club with awesome dance music blasting out of the doors. but i had to kuai-ly follow the rest and went back to the room to nurse my beers while watching The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, which is quite a cool show btw.


am a bit intoxicatedly high together with a fucked up keyboard so typing very slow now.



i probably would go out to have a walk in a while to soak up brisbane since i am apparantly friendless cos no ones's msging me on msn.


such a waste to spend saturday night cooped up in a room, isn't it?



God, i feel so alone.

Bimbo Alert

oh no oh no oh no oh no.....


i was sitting in my dad's stream last night, ready to drive off, turned the ignition, sat and enjoyed the blast of aircon, put it to "drive", released the footbrake and stepped on the accelerator...


....with no response.



after much meddling, I was just about to give up when......






i realised I hadn't started the car.



THIS IS OFFICIALLY THE MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT OF MY SHORT LIFE.




i need to get my brains moving. STAT.

Amsterdam Rocks!

I Love Amsterdam!!!!

details and pictures to follow soon! promise!
