MALE!

Hey howdieeeeeee!I'm all set to update my post now!
For one reason, there was a special request
made by my new fren, Diah, who sugessted just
that! So for u,Diah Sweety, here goes...
(eherm..ehermm*clears throat*) (:P)
I've just been back from a flight to Male
(reads MAH-LAY).And by the way that does not
denote a gender species,it is the name of the
Capital town in Maldives.It was a pretty short
flight for me and I barely had 24hrs there,but
it was an exceptionally great one.U'll see why
when u start scrolling down on this journal of mine.

When we landed, we wasted no time to explore
the resort hotel where we put up for the night...

Introducing...tHE HULHULE Princesses!

The next day...six of us took off for Kota Bandos...on a quest...

The Hulhule Princes and Princesses, took turns to photograph themselves...

The beautiful Island of Kota Bandos, Maldives.

Crystal clear water...

Sea shells and corals...

Rolling waves...

Legends has it that these footprints were that of a three-legged MONSTER!

No, dats two-legged me!

A Kodak moment for the Hulhule princesses...

So the journey continues...

..............................................."Where have all the fishes gone...?"

So that's the handsome Prince, upfront...

Our Sedan Hammock...

Quest abondoned...let's just take a pix!

...one for the road...

y not... just another one for the road...

So the Princes and Princesses were exiled to another Island for having failed to complete their quest.It has been rumoured, that they are in Sunny Singapore,and now live life as commoners...how tragic!

Who's better company... than u'r own MOM?

Hey hey..how are u guys?I've been AAAA-okae..
Hope u are too, or even better..
'Cept dat I've been sniffing quite abit..(*sniff*sniff*)tink I'm gonna be down with flu..and I'll tell u y...
Cos I just got back from swimming,and guess who came with me...
It's none other than u'rs truly's own mum..yeshh!my mum!haha!
Anyways, if u haven't been to the sports complex at Jurong East,u should, I mean u really should.It's super kewl, yups its the one with the spiral slides and water sprinklers and mock waves. Of course I didn't go that area, I didn't want to look like an over-grown kid trying to beat the line with the rest of them..it's the sch hols remember?
While we were there, my aunt(MAma Mok, short for Fat Mama,I called her dat wen I was younger), from KL, rang my Mum on her mobile and so she spoke to me.
"Y did u drag u'r mum there?"..and I told her that I'ld prolly drag her too if she's here..and into the pool too!haha!
and she was like.."hmmph..u tink u're a princess huh,makin her wait on u like dat?"..and I told her..."but of course, aren't u both my Queens?"......
(aaaaaaaaaaawwwww.............ooooooooowwwwwwww)...and the latter is the sound of me convalescensing from my aching arms!And noe I didn't tell my mum to wait on me...she just wanted to accompany me..please dun blame me now..:(..I'm sure she had fun seeing me waddling away..hahah!

And oh yes..I finally caught up with my BEST FRIEND!This one best friend, whom I'll not trade for anything,nothing in the world.
Nurren is her name.She is the one who I played doll-up with. The one whom I wanted to form a girl band/duo with. Yes that time when "Feminin" was so in...eeww!So Orbit!ahahahKs!
We would buy the same clothes, wear the same clothes,carry the same bags,eat the same food,took the same bus...and by the way,I recalled, I used to buy this candy called "NEON BANDITS".And we will suck on them till our tongues turned REALLY BLUE or REALLY BLACK!And guess what we do next.U wouldn't have guessed, not in a million years! We would stick our tongues out on every little children we see at the bus stops!And boy..we must have looked like some REALLY MAD Bandits!
And I'ld tell my mum that I'm goin over to her place to study, when all that we were really interested in was to ogle at the guys who played soccer near her home!(She lived on the first floor!)
U noe, we even came up with our names if say we were born Boys, instead! Blame that on teen hormones!
We were in the same class, 3 out of 4 years in sec sch.We were in the same eca,and the best part was, we were in every single way alike, but not similar.She was so like me, and I was so like her, only less pretty!

(see..i told u!)

She knew my first crush and my second and my third, and I knew hers too, 'cept that hers were always recquited whilst mine remained very much just crushes.

...(SIGH!)Still waiting for my Crush

.....................................................(HMMMPH!)I've CRUSHED them all for making u wait!

She was like Miss Popular, and me, Miss Geeky!Serious!But there wasn't any rivalry what-so-ever between us, cos she's my bestfriend.We were so synonymous, there was never just Nadia or Nurren,it's always Nurren & Nadia, or vice versa. Even till today when either one of us bump into anyone of our ex-sch mates, they'ld ask "so how's ur bestfriend?"

It's amazing how we are so much in-sync, so much in-tuned and so much of the same frequency!

(in the kitchen..with some laundry as backdrop..haha!)

And even when I started to fly, she got herself the exact same job..and we didn't even plan that!No it doesn't freak me out, infact,I'm glad we met and became friends and turn to best of friends and still are today,the bestest of friends.She's so special to me, and I really love her for being so!

And today,she's happily and blissfully married to her beloved husband, Zaidy, and have been blessed with a hunnie-bunnie-sweetie-snoockum-happie-healthy-bundle-of-joy-baby-boy, Arman Zidany!(Alhamdulillah!)

I'm proud of U Girl!

May Allah(SWT) watch over us all, InsyaAllah!

Hey Guys..Im bacc..
I got back from the City of Sails, just yesterday and when I was still there, I already knew what I wanted to write in my blog when I return..yupps..something eerie kinda happened when I was in the hotel room..I swear I wasn't dreaming when it happened..and it happened far too often for me to be in any other questionable state besides being Totally concious, Extremely frustrated..then Freakingly freaked-out!
So I was in my room somewhat in the afternoon..yes broad daylight afternoon when I heard my doorbell.Since I have turned on my do-not-disturb switch, I figured my doorbell will somewhat be disengaged,so no disturbance what-so-ever..wasn't that suppose to be the primary function of the switch?Anyways, I dismissed the first doorbell as a mistake..probably someone has depressed it by accident but again..haven't I switched the DND on??Nevermind!
...Again it rang and being the person that I am,I just shoved it off my mind..prolly just a neighbour's doorbell, I thought.Yes I was in denial!How else am I suppose to react??!
And it rang again..okay okay..I finally decide,I'll go take a look at the peephole..if there really is someone there.
Through the peephole I could actually see the adjacent rooms and the outside of the room next to mine..like duh..we all share a common corridor dun we..but there wasn't a single soul.and when I turned my back against the door, it RANG again!
..I looked thru it yet another time and saw..no one..or nothing rather..and I went to my bed cos I was trying go get some sleep..and again..it rang..by this time I was fuming mad cos I thought somebody..one of my friends perhaps is playing tricks on me, but when I checked the list(we get this list of crew names with our room numbers on it), none of them were staying on that wing, some even on the floors above..So what in the world is happening? And if I haven't mentioned my room number is (***) made up of three similar numerical digits....
Yah like that really helps, it rang again, this time I openned my door and yes..u guessed right..
THERE WAS..
nothing!
And to make it seem like a scary movie or something, the light in my entryway from the door leading to my bed starts flickering, I SWEAR!..yes..thanks so much..by that time I was so freaked out..but I managed to compose myself..read the KURSI verse and surah AN-NAS..and switched off the bloody light!..
And in the evening the DING-DONG-athon starts again..in the night..and a few times the following morning.
Well actually I wanted so much to call one of my friends and tell her about it, but just talking about it makes my hair stand on its root's ends so I decided to just act coy like it hasn't affected me at all,becos I heard tHOSE THings know how u feel and all, and the more afraid u are..the more it'll make it's presence felt..so besides acting coy..haha..I calmed myself down and came up with a scientific reasoning....maybe there really is something wrong with the circuits..
or maybe..there really is something wrong with the room??GOD knows..no I did not ask the operators at the front desk cos I'ld rather not know.But the next time I fly to that station, I'm not staying in RooM ***,NO THANKS!
Oh yah..and this is for XYZ..u noe, when I had to switch off my lights I suddenly thought of u. I was like, Darn!! I have to keep my TV on..even if XYZ says, "what if something crawls out of it??!"

*Winkies*..so I haven't really been updating my post..errm yah..have been preoccupied with stuffs.What an excuse!But that's the truth.And yes btw..I have got this HUGE experience to share with u guys haha!..Yes..it's so HUGE, I'm seriously contemplating..should I or should I not??But once I've decided to put it up here, I'm sure gonna do it FULL BLAST..pictures and all..inside info..be afraid..BE VERY AFRAID...hehe..sounds like an undercover, do I not??
But before I do that, I thought I should relate this story to u regarding one my passengers on board.I thought it was pretty much an insightful find, tho to some it may sound pretty gross,not for the faint hearted,definitely not!haha!.
Well, this is how it goes..
I was working in the economy class on one flight bound for SIN when I saw this particular passenger struggling with his bag in BIZ class. So I figured, I could offer him some help..but he's a guy, not that he needed it I thought...but I thought wrong, I thought it wrong on many other occassions too..cos in uniform..we tend to be stronger people, whatever gender we are.....Anyways, I did not see him anymore until somewhat half-way thru the flight that he came to the economy class galley. Seemed to me like an ordinary passenger who's trying to stretch his limbs to beat off DVT, i assume..or perhaps a prospective stretching-out-finger-muscle-(wait a minute, I thought DVT only affects the lower torso!)(...i've not finished, lemme repeat that..)a prospective stretching-out-finger-muscle-to-handover-namecards kinda person..it happens pretty naturally on board...
"Oh I was just stretchin out and this lady cladded in that super tight uniform, and did I also mention low neckline..?? came to talk to me and so there goes my namecard out of my pocket like second nature...no no I wasn't even hitting on her..I thought I could return her a favour after what she has done for me on that flight,bending rows after rows while collecting the trays,aww... that must have been hard on her, Anyway, this is my name card..ooops sorry I don't mean to drop....and there she goes bending again to retrieve the card from the floor which was..did I saw lacey carpet??.. before I could even finish my sentence...GOSH how efficient!"
But that's not to be the topic for today, unfortunately, I'm not about to discuss that saucy bit, (SORRY!!)..haha maybe, next time wen I have some better encounters okae and by the way, WE THE POWERS OF GIRLS UNITE, ARE NOT PROUD OF BENDING LIKE THAT INFRONT OF OUR PASSENGERS, oKAE and shall by all means stop, and start to instead of bending forward, to bend ur knees as u lower urselves down to slot the trays..it's more tiring that way, but girls it's high time we put a STOP to those ogling eyes..
...okae so back to that passenger,so we began talking..and he told me that he's a (*TET*)....national and that he has lived in Spore for over 2 yrs..and the passenger continued yakking..tho I tried very much to sound interested..it was that part that helped keep me awake (yah that TRYING to sound interested part!)..trust me it wasn't the conversation at all.While we're at the topic on how Spore is so much a cosmopolitan nation and all, diversed cultures and high tolerance for racial differences...he popped this QN..
HIM : "Is it true that Malays dun use the toilet paper after a 'business'?"
ME : "...err..." so I prompted him to go on and he was like,
HIM : "yah cos I noticed lotsa faucets in the cubicles and one of my friends told me that those are for the Malays??"
ME : ...."HUHHHH?"
and he went on to add this..
HIM : "HOW DO THEY DO THAT??I CAN"T IMAGINE NOT using toilet paper but water instead??"
ME :...oh my GOD!!..I can't imagine him not able to imagine that either...GOSH!!..I wished he hadn't brought that topic up..I mean who could have been more ignorant..okay, it must have been CULTURE to him...but isn't that PERSONAL HYGIENE we're talking about? It's the same concept as when we bathe,isn't it?..we cleanse with water and wipe dry with a towel...so thats where the toilet role bit comes in...urrgH...U noe, this excerpt is not aimed at any particular group of people or race it's just one incident I thought which shows much on people and what they know or perhaps don't noe... about life..haha!And oh yes..he did give me his email address..so I was not so right about the namecard bit, but I was right about, "oh perhaps next time u fly to that station I came from..I can bring u around.."
no..I haven't emailed since...

Helllooo!As I've promised, I said I will put up some of the pictures I took while I was away..and so I did. But first, before u guys scroll down on my virtual diary I just thought u guys should see this...Well, me and my sis we were on our way to City Hall as I've mentioned earlier..Yes we really did send a radio down and we did that by train..haha, but that's not the strangest part..wait till u see this..

He must have been one confused lil guy...I mean who could be more confused than a boy with a huge question mark at the back of his head??..and it's literally a QUESTION MARK!(???)I thought I saw something like this on TV. Remember there's this guy walking around with an axe stucked in his head..and that one taxi driver said, "it's better to have a song stucked in u'r head.." Yups! Definitely better than a question stucked ON your head!! Or a QUESTION MARK for that matters..Hahah!But I guess for that young turk...he just have got to wait till he's a tad bit older to understand why or even how the question mark got there in the first place.I dun think it's that easy being an alter-ego.Errr..Please note..The identity of the Subject has to be kept confidential as Subject is still a minor.

Wokies..let's begin, When I was away in New York, I was pretty lucky cos I had the company of a very lovely stewardess Sari. Sari's Indonesian, but she has lived here since she started flying, way, way before I did.I remembered when I just started, we did a flight together to Zurich,and she's kinda like a mentor to me.Sari together with her buddy, Shinta Christine, who on the other hand, has left the airline. Again, this time I felt like I was so taken care of...haha...not that I can't do that on my own..she kinda made sure that I ate properly..no..no she didn't do that on purpose. It's just that I enjoyed her company so much that we were always out together.Either to shop or have our meals, proper meals rather..something which I rarely do when I'm away.Not that I'm on a diet or something..I dun go on diets..well not anymore at least. I mean I've been losing weight, it's worrying me. But it's just that I'm not really a food person..I only eat when I'm very hungry..or perhaps famished..or even on the verge of dropping dead..ok ok so I'm just plain lazy..haha..Sometimes when i'm outstation for a week...I can be on a snack diet..serious, like cereals and sandwiches..haha..bad..bad! Anyway, this is Sari and me at Times square...

Oh have I mentioned that when we were in Frankfurt, U see we fly to Franfurt before flying over to New York. The direct flight to New York on the Super-Long Range A345 aircrafts will commence only in July.We had a day lay-over on the way up and so Sari caught up with her super cutie German friend. Ok..so he's so cute...I swear I would have wanted to put his pix up too, but how would I do tt?? I mean ask if I could take his pixx so I could put up in my blog??Gosh that'll be too embarrassing!But seriously he's super cute..and Super duper hyper..haha he's so animated that he thought he should be a steward, for Lufthansa that is...I thought he should audition for Shrek3!!haha!Sari dun tell him, PLEASE!!Watever it is,it sure was fun meeting Martin.Sari, thanks for letting me tag along..haha!!Hope I wasn't too bright!But u said theres nothing going on RRRITE??heheh...or did u mention the word...YET?...WOOOPSIE!!heheh

Sight seein in New York...by the RED BUS..or by FOOT! Some important tips..If u're intending to visit the Big Apple..bring ur most comfortable shoes...u sure need to walk...ALOT!

Yups!A ferris wheel in TOYS'R'US!!!kewl huh?

Some shopping places...oh yah another important tip..Applies more to crew..if u ever do a transit flight into Europe then to the States..hold back the urge to shop at H'n'M in Europe. Do ur shopping in the States. The items cost the same only one in Euro and the other in US$.Reallie!! But I must warn u that not everything is available there in H'n'M in the States.haah..so it's about taking chances...but u can check it out on u'r way back, provided that u dun land on a Sunday or a Public holiday..that was what that happened to me..geez what can I say, dats LIFE!..U win some n u lose some...:)

Sari's shopping bag...

My shopping bag.......

Outside a popcorn-store...love caramel corn...but it was'nt to open till 11am..we were 2 early birds...oh yah we forgot, the early bird catches the worm, not the CORN!!

At a halal kebab join in Frankfurt with Nyoman and the owner's daughter..isn't she such a sweetheart???

And Yes...My Favourite Italian join in Frankfurt..serves the best Salmon Spaghetti and Seafood Pizza...YUMMY!
I hope you guys had as much fun looking thru these pix as I had much fun putting this up for u guys...Please note that no "showing-off" is intended okay..just wanted to share some experiences with u peeps. U've been the most important in my life...how can I not want u to be part of mine?!:)Take care okay and till we catch up again...As'kum!

P.S: Nurren, I'm glad u told me abt Arman..Yes I was very worried, so worried u can't imagine,but it meant alot that u told me... Alhamdulillah...his temperature subsides,must be berkat doa his Ibu n Ayah..and everyone else who loves him.Muackk!Saaaaaaayang Arman...kecian dia...kooochi..kooochi..koochi..!
