IT'S TIME TO KICK THIS BLOG ALIVE.

Air Traffic Control Tower

ATC openhouse on thursday was a really nice experience, taking into consideration that it might be the only chance in our lifetime that we are allowed to enter the tower. since the invitation was opened to the pilots only, we (the 3 interns and the female head of hr) were given the impression that we were pilots from Jetstar. not bad huh. this goes to show that we looked professional and young okay. haha.

touring, explanations, talks and discussions were done, and all we did were just to listen and absorb and have their sumptuous buffet for lunch, not forgetting all those craps and jokes shared - yanni hogging up the whole buffet queue line and pissing her head off, yanni taking candid photos of her head and putting photos as wallpaper. =) the event lasted all the way till the mid afternoon and by the time we were back in the office, we only had 3 more hours to go before we knock off. =)

i dont know what the hell is this photo about. darlie/coglate advertisement perhaps?

inside the room

i'm right on top of the world looking~
is this what they call a bird's eye view? the feeling of being at the top of the tower, overlooking the whole of changi airport and their runways is really good.

look at how advance their stimulators are. they can easily stimulate emergency situations such as aeroplanes on fire, or even bad weather conditions with just a few buttons. these stimulators are found in the school of aviation whereby training is done.

hello. hahahaha. yanni: you are barbequed if she gets the link to my blog.

Jetstar Office

these few days have been rather tiring and busy lah. work is forever that massive. and i think my department is really sweet. hahah. on the 1st of every month, they will pool together a sum of money to buy a cake to celebrate those birthdays that fall on that month. since 3/3/08, i've already been to two celebrations already. another 3 more to go and that will signify the end of my internship already.

today was also nichole's last day. i sincerely wish her all the best for her career lah. even though i wasnt really close to her, but still, she taught me quite a lot of stuffs too. and during afternoon, josephine randomly asked whether i could cope with all those stuffs that i have on hand currently since some of nic's work were handed down to me. surprisingly, i replied i had no problem. well, perhaps, those work still haven reach my limit, or could it be that i have no sense of urgency and that i'm taking things too lightly? lol. but i know i did have some sense of urgency okay. but still, i dont mind taking things into my stride. it works better for me this way.

Dinners
had dinner with yujia and gang on thursday. as usual, we did all the catching ups since i have not seen and meet keetwan and xinyi for nearly 2 years already. and recently, yujia, shujuan and me had been having subway for almost every week, just like the three of us at jetstar are having popeyes!! i guess we are addicted to their bread and cookies, right? personally, i think their tuna bread and cookies are the best lah. their tuna tasted so fishy and together with the crunchiness of their lettuce and tomato and their tasty sweet onion sauce, it's heavenly. as for their cookies, i like them for their softness. well, some people might think otherwise.

we caught the forbidden kingdom too, but that was on friday, if i dint remember wrongly. hmmm, the whole movie doesnt make any sense lah, but still occasionally, there are still some funny parts here and there that makes it on the whole interesting. but still, chinese from the ancient period being equipped with the ability of speaking english is just not acceptable to me. i wanna catch the IRONMAN and INDIANA JONES!

Thoughts

i've saw the ugly sides of humans again recently. some humans can be really superficial. she was standing right beside me and looking at me straight in the eye, and yet, she can treat me as if i've ate glass for food. the edge of my mouth was already lifted, and my teeth were almost showing. i just wanted to give her a small smile and yet she looked away, without even bothering to acknowledge my presence! this is damn not right can. i have my reasons for saying this lah. i think i am a super sensitive human and this isnt really good cause merely a word or a sentence or even an action can already set my brain into thinking already.

and throughout these few days, i've realised something - the hardest mistake to spot is not hers, not his but your own. cause you've the tendency to think that whatever you do is right and that even though you've double-checked for the umpteenth time already, you will still be unable to spot it, until someone comes along and tell you that you've forgot to include something.

i'm still learning everyday lah, even though my little blue book has not been signed for three weeks and have not been updated since last thursday. hahaha. my work involves figures and a single mistake such as crediting from the wrong bank or debiting from the wrong vendor can lead to dire consequences. and thus, i was able to pick up skills such as being able to do things fast and accurately and i am still learning them everyday. i will still make minor mistakes here and there, such as writing TT as T, writing GIRO for foreign payments and stuffs like that. still, if i dont make mistakes, i wont learn as much right? some of my colleagues really know the right way of instilling something into me, especially josephine. haha. i like her method of teaching and probably the reason why i like to help her so much. when she teaches me something, she will tend to explain the logic behind that action or decision and she will make sure that by hook or by crook, i can understand. and she knows that only by ensuring my understanding, then i would be able to perform the tasks better and need not always go running to her when i encounter problems that can be easily solved. i prefer this type of coaching rather than those that tells you what to do, but without explaining why you have to do so. or maybe i am just plain stupid. hahaha.

gelare this coming friday with o2 once again! and i am so going to enjoy my labor day tml. =))
