7:36 PM, Wednesday, February 22, 2006Back to the topic on disgusting cockroaches, I was greeted by an ugly sight of an xtra big full-grown cockroach in living room the 1st thing I woke up yesterday. Hated tat pair of long thingy on its head. My 1st instinct was to rush to my bro's room & woke my 2nd bro up to assign him this task of killing tat cockroach. In his dreamy state, I handed him folded stacks of old newspapers. Lousy guy... he chased tat cockroach fr living rm... to kitchen.. from kitchen back to living room until it juz disappeared behind the shoe rack. Amazing . We turned the whole shoe rack upside down & inspected every pair of shoes but couldnt find a trace of it. Stewpid... wonder whr can such a big & fat cockroach hide...
After this cockroach episode, a ques suddenly popped up in my mind.
Is my boi scares of cockroach ?? Would he help mi beat the hell out of the disgusting cockroaches in future lik a hero or he juz gonna depend on spraying pesticides lik mi by then???
Pls enlighten mi , Dear... R u or R u not? :-)

Had a happy day last nite to b able to finally meet up wif my poly babes.. But I havent received the photos we took yet so tink I shall upload dem when I haf a chance ...
Luckily todae haf another off day . My stomach not feeling well for the past 2 days. Been lik dat ever since I back fr Karachi, Pakistan. Din went out in coz it seems kind of unsafe on the streets. Imagine even our hotel (Sheraton) opposite even haf a local police station. The hotel balcony is not those "open" type as they sealed up everything they could. Balcony seems lik a cage to mi so I dun bother to step into there aso.
Ordered room service for the whole of 2 days. Onli the chix briyani & naan tasted fantastic. I m quite unhappy abt the hotel staff service. I called the front desk & asked abt my outstanding bill & I got a irritated reply. This as follows :
Front Desk : Gd Afternoon, Mr Yan ! How may I assist U ? (OMG !!! If their system is able to reflect my name? Shldnt it b able to reflect Whether I m a lady or a guy ?More importantly, my surname??)
Me : Oh.. Hello .. By the way, u can address mi as Ms Ong. Tat's my surname.
Front Desk : ........????
(In my heart, I was thinking oh... forget abt trying to explain it.. it is going to take ages)
Me : Well... actualli, I was thinking if u r able to check my outstanding bills for me & convert into Singapore currency?
Front Desk : Hmmz... Pls wait for a moment.
(Typing of keyboard in the background) There came a shocking reply fr this 5-star hotel staff.
Front Desk : Mdm, U onli haf 2 outstanding bills. Why r u so worried ?!
Me : (Shocked) U meant I cant find out abt my bill even if it is onli 2?!!
At this pt of time, I tried to sound as irriated as possible. Sounded lik disatisfied customer. For those frens who noe mi, I m not those type who would sound lik dat wan.. I m actualli quite easy to please. I juz hate the fact tat this guy is so damn lazy & I cant stand his attitude.
Front Desk : (Sensed my change in tone of voice) No, Mdm.. I dun mean tat. Ur bill in Sing dollar wld b $24. If u wan, I can get some1 to send the bill up to ur room shortly. Is there anything I can help u ?
Me : No thanx.. ( Hung up the fone )
- The End -
Tat's poor service. And I wont forget tat . Not sth I expect fr a 5-star hotel.
In exactly 23 days , my bond wif SQ would come to an end. Thoughout my working days wif SQ, I tink I learnt pretty much fr alot of seniors. And more importantly, the nature of the job cultivates mi to b a more independent person. Sometimes we haf MAAS (Meet-And-Assist) passengers onboard, most of dem r passengers who requires wheelchair assistance or elderly who needs us to assist dem to walk thr the aisle of the aircraft. Seen ppl fr all walks of life. Once on a flight out of Switzerland, Zurich, we haf 3 guys who r onli the age of ard late 20s but r palyased waist down. I believe is injury due to some extreme sports activties in Switzerland. 3 of dem r frens and all of dem showed the same cheerful nature. They even dun nd help to move fr the wheelchair to their aircraft seat as they prefer to move their ownselves. I admire this kind of ppl. They make the most out of their lives. But I do feel kinda of sad for dem as they r all still young & full of energy but now they r wheelchair-bound. Dun u all tink tat life is pretty unpredictable? Sometimes, I see passengers in Business Class r buried in their work wif their laptops the moment the plane takes off. U can sense their full concentration in their work wif the papers spreaded ard everywhr on the seat & table. Some of them even to the extend of skipping their meals. Seeing dem so stressed up, I would sometimes take their minds off laptop screen & cracked a joke while offering dem a cup of coffee. Life is so short.. Sometimes we take life for granted and tink we live forever. We shld take a break at times & spend time not only wif loved ones but aso wif our ownself.
Tink I juz gonna slack the whole day todae. Hope tml standby not called up .... Plssss................
