...the time tunnel...

hMmm... this is my fifth month flying (after four months of training).. One more month to clear probation... and I’m finally freed!!!!! Free from attending part time deg lessons coz final year is over... waiting for the results. Wasn’t really anxious over the result though... coz whatever did was done and reallllyyy no point bothering over it anymore. And I’m also freed from the weekly piano lessons months ago to save some time studying.. So does that gives a good reason for not updating for the past 'few' months?? heheh...

and now, I’m too free...

Turning to blog again, which I really have no idea who would read now... By now I suppose, my readers are long gone... Isn’t it?

Though there are really so much things happening... so much to share but I can't recall all in one shot...

This job is like operating in a time machine, when u walked through the tunnel that leads to the aircraft, it’s like walking through a time tunnel, and through the vehicle (the aircraft), and you’ll get to a destination sometimes ahead or behind time (difference in Greenwich Mean Time). Like for example traveling to states means travel back to the past. Traveling in different ‘brand’ of vehicle is as though choosing the experience you like to travel in… ha-ha…

Work is fun depending on who you are working with... one of my batch mates was claiming that, during the interview, interviewees always say "I’m outgoing and I like to meet people around the world ... blah blah blah..". Ironically you'll really regret saying that, because you’re practically meeting new faces on every trip, and even a new set of crew, which makes working life so different and so complex, especially when u do not know who u are working with, and you’ll always have to be on your toes to avoid the infamous ‘zapping’ – a term which they used to mean bullying the newbie/junior ones.

And if you think you love traveling to different countries, think again… do u love traveling with full of strangers or perhaps a new found colleague? Or do you prefer traveling with your love ones?? Traveling to countries I’ve never been to, walking in a foreign environment, language barrier plus the difference in culture, sometimes makes me wonder if I can land back home safely.

Now looking back, I think the best reason I gave… was that I like the pay.
Then again, the next best thing was having many off days, especially one day off for every one day worked.

Looking ahead… I really have no idea what’s next step on the list… After all, pursuing the degree, attending piano lessons, and going for those probation flights, really makes me ponder again and again, why do I choose to rush all my time to get things achieve in such a short time and killing myself when trying to achieve good grades in all areas. Tired of the battle, I just feel like stopping down, or perhaps something new…
