Happy Friday 13th March 2009!
i had such a "great" week of luck...
was called up on monday to operate a flight into London at 7am, meaning i had 2hr 45mins to pack and prepare.
finneeee... i accept it.
the evening before standby in london, one of the junior was called up. she was to depart the next morning.
next morning, i woke up at 8am(london time) and attend the briefing at 11am. all clear at the moment.
after briefing, went to exchange some stuff. tabao lunch and back in room by 2pm. still all clear. no blinking messages on the hotel phone. no notes slipped under door.
getting groggier after lunch but had to stay awake till night fall. coz once i nap a bit, i'll have problems sleeping at night. what's more, there's a live match between Man U and Inter at 730pm.
