7 days Manchester which gave me a phobia for life

First time i get a 7days Manchester.
First time i get such a memorable experience in Manchester.

i never really like to do Manchester since i start flying. Cause on the very first occasion i was there, the heater wasn't working and the room was freezing cold. I checked and close shut all the windows, yet the chill lingers on. I wore my thick winter coat and jeans to sleep. And even retort to keeping the hot water running in the tub. i know it's wasteful. but i didn't know there was such thing as a portable heater lor!!

so when this time i got this station again, i had to do it. yes, all for the sake of $$ larrr..

after the long arduous flight duty time of 16hrs plus, we finally reached the hotel. this particular hotel has a reputation of giving breakfast voucher as they always don;t have rooms available. being the most junior few, i had the honour of having free breakfast and the wait of 1hour for the next available room.

so i drag a steward out for a rukok. here is where the unbelievable begin..
- while standing outside the hotel, a woman in her mid thirties walked past.
- she stared at us and then walked over to talk to a black lady.
- me n guy was talking crap, laughing at shitty jokes and smoking.
- suddenly the woman turned, ran towards me, and started hitting me on the face.
- state of shock set in.
- guy was shocked as well. (who won't be! moreover we went for first rest lor..)
- woman was shouting to me: "you stole my husband!".
- and to guy "you killed my brother!!"
- her attacks throws me off balance.
- guy regains composure and asks me go back into hotel, while the woman continued shouting and still tries to attack me.
- i fumbled back into hotel.
- woman still following and still abusive.
- hotel takes over from guy and escorts her out of hotel.
- once outside, she kneel on the pavement and then runs away. hotel did not attempt to detain her.
- hotel staff ask if I'm OK and if i want to make a police report or not. how clever! what's more i was still in shock lorrr...
- IFS says there's no case against the woman as, 1) she's mentally unstable. 2) i did not bleed.

in short, i was hit on the whole face. some cuts on tongue, jaw aching badly. all the IFS did was "u OK right? can still operate right? u look fine to me, just a few bruises only lar, nothing de..". the ultimatum he said was "do you know it cost 90pound to call for a doctor. and 110pound for consultation and medication?". call me sensitive, but wasn't that an obvious hint that i shouldn't call for a doctor?!

for now, I'm scared to walk alone. i get so frighten when someone walks past close. i get uptight when i see people looking at me. i get flashback of what happened whenever i close my eyes. i get breathless unexpected, as if the blows are raining on me.

I'm scare to do flights. i don't want to fly for now. i just wanna hide and Mr Loy to sayang me.
how do i get rid of this nightmare that's running through my mind?

Get to know yourself better...

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
--> that's why i half libra-ian, half scorpion.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
--> me attractive?!? *laughing till cramp into a ball*

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
--> mr loy, see this! u lucky fella. *smug look on face*

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
--> WTF??!! NO LOR!!! i can't even pass my Emaths!

The right job for you:
You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.
--> HOME RUN!!!

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
--> BULL'S-EYE!!!

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.
--> i girl leh ,also need a shoulder to lean on mah...

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
--> i use more heart than head. no wonder they say i think too much...


so tell me how true you think it is..

DAMM the weighing scales!!

millennium hongqiao provide weighing machine in the bath room.
so naturally the first thing after i checked in, was to put myself on the scales.

boy!! how ecstatic i was when it showed 46.4kg. but thinking that the scales might be lying, i tried for the second and third time, and it still show the same!! i was floating on cloud nine!

and off i went to have my dinner with another carnivore flygirl. shared hot plate beef with straw mushroom, and hot plate chicken with prawns and mushroom. and just in case i get hungry before falling asleep, i tabao McSpicy back. (china mac ROCKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

rubbing my round belly, i stepped onto the scales, hoping to see the magical number again.

the feeling of being on Standby

standby day is always a insomnia time, nerve wrecking, hair loss, breath holding, adrenaline rush, blood boiling, mouth cussing and prayer day.

we have many different pattern of standby. some standby is for a certain type of aircraft, which is total bullshit coz they will still call u up for other crap. some is half day(either first half of the day or second half). and the most common is the FULL DAY STANDBY.

the INSOMNIA and PRAYER starts at 12 midnight and end at 2359.
throughout the night it'll be difficult to sleep in peace as i'll be checking my phone to see if i have miss "THE IMPORTANT CALL" (TIC). and also praying that it won't be a call up.

everytime the phone rings, the NERVES will be WRECKING coz i have no idea who is calling. and if the call is harmless, the ADRENALINE RUSH of relieve will flood the mind and body.

however, if the call proves fatal, u can heard from afar my MOUTH CUSSING marathon. of course BLOOD will be BOILING. and perhaps some HAIR LOSS can be seen when preparing for work.

well, this a only a part of what we go through. the rest of my work is probably indescribable. or rather till i have found the appropriate language for it.

she makes flying a lot more bearable for me.
