Boring & Tiring Schedule....

I had been flying for 1 1/2 year...I heard everyone mention that they wish they can fly everywhere like me, but that is not TRUE!!



So far, i only been to 8 places- LA, NY, Atlanta, Honolulu, Seattle, Sydney, Frankfurt...and of coz Incheon (this is where the airline based). I'm like US Permanent Resident, at least 3 times that i enter in a month.



And the schdule is like shit! imagine u get LA, Atlanta, Hawaii in a month, is all long-haul!

I wonder is the schedulers lazy are they stupid, all the schedule pattern are just cut & paste and being repeated month after month among the crew.

Is time to change! U K ppl!!

Special Paseenger Onboard

I had got 13 of Special passenger onboard in my zone of the NewYork bound flight today.3 families. They are from Myanmar, but without any nationality,there are refugee. They come under the IOM organization. I am wondering ...why do they have to cross almost 1/2 of the globe to US because of war in their country or other reasons? Their have all kind of facial expression on their face...but no 'happy" expression at all. I wish them all the best...may be after 1o yrs, those small kids will become some important people...


Here are some information on refugees that i found from IOM website:
http://www.iom.int/jahia/Jahia/media/press-briefing-notes/pbnAS/cache/offonce?entryId=25500

They are from Thai-Myanmar border, Kareni (from Karen Tribe), and US "offered to resettle up to 50,000 refugees from Site 1 and three other camps in Mae Hong Son province. The decision followed earlier US decisions to offer resettlement to up to 100,000 other refugees from camps to the south in Tak and Kanchanaburi provinces. "

Wonderful Beaches!

When i layover in hotel, i usually turn on either MTV channel or CNN on TV, and oftenly i saw this ad on CNN.



This always make me be grateful that I am a Malaysian, and more important, make me wanna to go dive or just a relax holiday at the beach.

I had not been diving after I left Club Med Phuket, which was 2 yrs ago...till May this year...I when to Mabul for 4 days, then 2 weeks later, another 4 days at Redang.


Mabul is awesome! the water is crystal clear, even when I am on the wood platform, I can see the fishes down in the water clearly!!

































I didn't make it to Sipadan this time as I decide to join the trip last minute, there is no permit for me. But I'll sure be there again, with AOW , and staying in a better resort :P

This Redang trip, I was going as a leisure diver, while Ivan went to get himself certified as OW diver. We stayed at Berjaya Redang.
By the time the ferry reach jetty, I still can't feel that myself was on Redang, as tat is not the Redang tat i used to know. Coz we were transported to the resort on bus, going through the local village, where the school, police station is.

Is not like the long beach area where u step on the sand once u arrived, then only the resort compound. Here is resort compound 1st, then only you see the beach, hiding behind.




















Because is it at a bay area, there are nothing to see when u snorkel at the sea infron of resort, only sand....even the sea water is cyrstal clear. And is quite at night...without the normal wave sound that I used to listen too when i am at the long beach.

My Name Tag but not my name

Name Tag - to me is someting that represent who am I. It is part of uniform - no matter school uniform or work uniform.


In school, i got my name tag which spelled my full name on it.

In ClubMed, i got my name tag with my nick name on it, so that the people from this global village can easily pronouce it.



I super duppa love this ! it shows where i am from, and also the languages that i speak.


In the current company that i am with, they gave this. According to them, it is my country flag + my 1st name initial + Last name on it.



I am NOT K.LIEW, it sounds terrible, please give me back my name!!

红豆沙 = ?

In mandarin, when some cooked bean are smashed into paste, we call it xx"sand" because of it sandy texture. Ex: Red bean paste = 红豆沙 (if translate directly = red bean sand).


And in a bread store in the Incheon airport, there named their bread this....

Rotiboy in Seoul

I came across this Rotiboy store in Seoul. Not many customer as we see in Malaysia...To me, i still think that the one we have in Malaysia is the most delicious.

A bun cost 1800 won = about RM 5 ( is almost the same as the bread in other bread store in Seoul.
The promo set which includes a bun, and a cup of coffee @ 3000 won (RM9)
