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.

flying to SYD on the Queen again. but this time with ah meow.
she makes flying a lot more bearable for me.
