a loonngg december...

hey there fellas!!!..
...flying around like mad recently.. and barely got the time to even online and chat with my friends...

anyway..after a long month (november)...came out my payslip...well..it was worth the hardwork...but 1 thing is for sure...there are things you gotta sacrifise...and i did...i sacrifised my freedom..sacrifised my time..being away from my family...i no longer have the time to even go out and grab a coffee at the nearest starbucks..

and when people keep on saying they need a break from all this working shit hole...

i believe i understand now..why they needed that break...

yeah it sure is nice to be able to work and earn money...but there are somethings i really miss....i miss my freedom days...sitting in starbucks the whole day...sipping coffee...online...crapping with my friends and cousins all the way...at nite go home..dinner with parents.....those were the days... and i really miss my parents... :( well...that's the price of working life...

hahaha...it aint easy earning money isnt it?
well..it is tough sometimes...but we gotta find a way to relax somehow... "Service with a smile"... hehehe the photo above was taken by Capt Oni Priyadi...on the way to Hong Kong...its a god damn 3hours 45 minutes flight...he brought his HUGE camera along...and started snapping pictures...believe...most of the pictures he snaps...damn nice i tell u..
a picture of Kathy..1 of the Flight Attendant flew with us to Hong Kong dat day....it was a nice shot.. he even had time to snap pictures of our final approach into KLIA.. it was my sector..so i did the flying...i did the radio calls...he did the snapping.. it was fun flying with him though...hehehe "Before take off checklist below the line..."
Cabin Crew = Advised
TCAS = TA/RA
Eng Mode Sel = Normal
Packs = ON
..... Camera = Set (=.=")
captain Priyadi snapping pictures of the sunset... "I have control..i have communications..you have the snapping"...



its december now...FESTIVE season!!!!...when i was a kid...up to the age of 16...17...i've always loved the month of december...my birthday..Christmas...New Year..all comes on the same month...but ever since i joined the aviation industry... the december festive and holiday mood slowly fades away... this year's birthday...i get to celebrate...HALF a day only with my family...the day after i gotta fly into Johor and report in there...i'll be based there for a week..lack of copilots there it seems... and yes...i'll be celebrating my christmas on the plane...hey who knows...i might get to see Santa delivering christmas presents... well..i'll be snapping more pictures when i'm based in Johor next week....hopefully there's internet connection provided in the hotel room...then i'll update more.. stay tuned ^^
