Christmas in Beijing..

Hey you guys who reads my blog... it's been more than a month and a half sinced i blogged... i was back home on leave for about 2 weeks.. I just moved back to Yishun from Woodlands and 'was helping my dad out with the painting and the whole process...

I also got myself my first tattoo... one which i always wanted.. a fairy... and i sparked the tattoo craze amongst my cousins and coupld of days later about 8 of them went down to my tattoo artist and got more than 12 tattoos done collectively... wow... great business...

my cousin & God Sister, Laura got married too... Congrats darling! Suz promised she'll catch your bouquet and she did.. hehe..

i received the most beautiful Christmas gift from my Darling Shun... thank you baby...

My sister left for Lansing, Michigan on the 23rd Dec... God Bless her journey..

Home was great to re-energize... really... meeting some friends and my family... was beautiful..

I spent Christmas in Beijing and boy was that fun... about 12 of us crew went to the restaurant for a Christmas dinner and there was lots of shopping before that... i had the most intellectual conversations with them in a long long time, (air crew i mean) over red wine and great food... it was an even better day on Christmas day... I Visited the Forbidden ity and the Great Wall of China... Amazing... and it was so cold and i felt as if my nose and hands were gonna fall off... 6 of us crew went... and it was great... beautiful memories and it's got to be my best layover to date...
Enjoy the pictures and Merry Christmas Everyone...

Joburg.... South Africa...

Hey guys... how are you? I did an amazing thing when i was in johannasburg and thanks to a crew who dragged me along... we went to the Lion Park together... it was about a 40 minute drive from the Hilton hotel but it was so worth it...

Playing with lion cubs and having so much fun with them... they resemble little cats... which they are though they bite a little harder and they weigh alot heavier and they're paws are alot bigger but still cute....

They were full of life when we visited... and i saw so many everyday things that these big cats do... From... Playing to Mating... Eating to Drinking... Peeing to Crapping... hehe.. Climbing trees and logs as well as to conclude that these cats can climb high but are afraid to come down... i caught it on video... and pictures... we were at arms length with the big cats but we got full on with the baby ones...

It really is something to remember and i'll definately go back again ... but this time to the crocodile farm and the Elephane Park...
Love the wildlife in Johannasburg... with Amarula in my bag too... Sure is something i'll never forget...

Lovez... Vicky

Colombo

Colombo.... A place i expected it to be ... But not all was expected... as you can see.. i was having a lovely time at the beach.... the rocks were amazing.. and the Horizon so far away... i managed to capture the moment of a beautiful sunset and just sank into the horizon... wow... and the view was from my hotel room...
The Elephant Orphanage is next on my list to visit... Would be interesting... really... smilez..

The Most important thing in life is ... Family!

The Greatest Thing in life is Family... The sense of belonging one feels to know that no matter what happens in life... it's your family that's gonna pull you up when you fall down and people you can count on to say a 'li'l prayer for you...

MOS... With Suz, Val and Jank Jank... A fun night it was... being Happy and Having fun... Haven't clubbed in Singapore for a really long time man... And thanx for the great company Jank Jank at dinnertime... and Bowling.. and Pool.... was really fun... And Double Trouble... Pls Stay o0ut of trouble and don't give me a big Headache... BOTH OF U!!... haha... i'm kidding... i love u both... !

i just came back from a 10 day trip back home and it wasreally rejuvinating as i was flying too much last month.. more than needed... and it was a great time for me to relax and spend time with my family and my boy and my friends... Godma organized a Steamboat dinner for all 13 of us... including Val and Shun... (Jarell's and my partner) and there was Feww flow of Jack and White and Red Wine... and the two little ones had their own sparkling juice to imitate the adults... i remembered when i was younger... the family that gathered around the tree during Christmas Night to have dinner and open presents... it was the best feeling ever... to gather everyone out their busy schedule to come together and be happy... and i'm so glas that my dad came... though he was working till 7pm... it certainly was a night to remember and i hope thatduring this Christmas.. i would be in town to enjoy the sense of belonging all over again at Andre', my Godma's restaurant. With the same... Good Food.. Good Wine... Good Company..

Last but not least… I want to wish the best of luck to a 2 dear friends of mine… who just became.. Mr and Mrs Dominic Chan…. With much love to you both and lovely Ashley… I’m so glad to have been there for you both.. smilez…. What God Put Together, No Man Shall Bring Apart! …
Dom and Mel.. Another Chapter…

Munich...

With the Oktober Fest that was going on and the carnival... Munich was a great time to visit at this time of the year... and it goes on for about 3 weeks... it was a whole lot of drinking beer and dressing up (funnily) and eating pork sausages.... boy was it so so fun....
the atmosphere was great.. with everybody... young and old having drunk fun...
the best part of it all was that... NOT one of these Drunk F***s were fighting at all... how cool is that...
imagine this in Singapore... all the Gangs will be running around with Parang cause he was starring at someone's girlfriend... it wasn't like this at all.

it's a place i really like alot and would love to visit again... the air is fresh... the place was chilli... i love it...

loads has happened...

it's always great to be home... but not great when you're stuck in a place u wanna be but u can't... and you have to spend a bomb getting back to a place you DON't wanna be... Get my drift?...

i ws stuck in Singapore for 2 extra days and running around with Is, Jun and Yana trying to get out asses back to Dubai... not that we actually wanted to get back but ya....
and S$1400 for a flight ticket back when i'm a crew is not fun... that's what u get when you're on standby tickets...

other than that horrible news.... i just got back from a flight back to Singapore and it was lovely... it was time well spent with family and friends and Shun... Shun just had his Passing out Parade today... (proud of u dear) .. Mr Commando man may be a Medic... and i finally met his parents.. officially... i've met them few times... but never like this before... and it was not bad at all... his mother made me feel very comfortable and she's a really sweet woman...

I spend some time with Uncle Lawrence and his Family and saw Godman and Jarell too.. i miss these family gatherings tremendously... and it felt so good to play with the kids...whenever i'm back.. the thought of leaving always hurts... here are some nice pictures....

There's nothing... absolutely nothing better than Home!... and being surrounded by the ppl you love and who loves you...

Finally... this september...
Happy 55th Birthday to Daddy... and Happy 40th Birthday to Uncle Lawrence.. Happy Anniverdary to Godma and Uncle Mo.. Happy 21st Birthday to my 2 Huneyz... Joey and Nurul.. Miss ya girls... and lastly Happy 3rd Year Anniverdary to Shun and myself... smilez... Congrates to the brotherhood on their POP too.. Jag, Fye, Guna and Senthil..

Paris.. Charles De Gaulle..

Paris... Gosh i love Paris.. this is my second time here and once again, i'm so captivated by everything that i see... from the way the french go making out in the middle of nowhere (i've seen alot do that) to the way their historical architectures hold such deep history and meaning... it's great to be here again...
The few famous places that i visited were.. Arc De Triumphe.. Eiffel Tower.. The Louvre.. The Notre Dame & the Galerie Lafayette.. it's beautiful.. it's romantic.. it's one of the place that i would love to visit over and over again... next time when i'm there ... i'm gonna take the boat ride and go up the Eiffel Tower... at Night! ... it's gonna be a magnificent scenery... come watch it with me..!

I almost wanted to quit my job and take a flight back.

yes it's true... i almost quit my job and wanted to take the next flight back to Singapore to be with my family. i was on a flight to Hong Kong on the 3rd August 2006. and as most of u might know. there's a typhoon there. we were asked to be sitted on our jumpseats 45 minuted prior to landing which was pretty unusual ( it's usually 15 mins).

then it came.. the turbulance... and we had to circle around Hong Kong twice because of air traffic, i reckon before landing. and the winds were so strong and the rain slamming the fuselage of the plane. I was sitting af the aft of the aircraft facing forward so i could see everything that was happening. it felt as if the fuselage might break into two or the winds were going to blow us off course the runway. the passengers were getting sick by then and i felt as if my tummy was going upside down.

i really thank God for a great Captain, cause he managed to get all of us on ground safely. and i almost cried.i said prayers of thanks and then i realise that what i thought about this job was true.. it's not always smooth sailing. that's y we're being paid so much... it's such a high risked job in the air depending on the aircraft & pilots (and GOD) to get us safely from one place to another. the day after that, more than 700 flights were delayed and i had another 12 hours in Hong Kong.

it was one hell of an experience and something i wish to never be a part of again. (hey, who am i kidding, it comes with the job!!)
