APEC is coming to an end!!

just got home from work, the weather was sooo crap today, when i was driving to work, it rained, then it stopped, then rained again and stopped again. when i got to the M5 motorway tunnel, suddenly, an urgent news interupted my radio and said theres an accident in the tunnel and that the right lane was closed. which means all the cars had to squeeze into 1 lane!! i was like heh ok.. call my manager and say ill be late, plus the APEC road blocks gonna slow me down but to my surprise when i got there, they've already cleared the accident vehicle away already!! i was soooo happy.. woohoo! i didnt have to looose my pay over the traffic. thank u god!!
got to work, it just poured, and i forgot the code to the lock for the carpark, thankfully again 1 of my collegues was there to tell me the code, if not ill just be stuck there.. haha... and she asked me what happened to my car.. i was like heh yeah some1 was dashing for the lights and tore off the paint from my bonnet..
by the time i got into the airport, my whole shoe was wet and soaked. no extra pair, no extra socks, nothing.. oh wellz, just had to carry on working.
at the check in, Drew (my collegue) was telling me how he really liked that Virgin Blue girls, shes soo hot, so nice.. so pretty etc.. and i was like hmmm yeah yeah yeah... i couldnt have a good look at her because she was too far away and hey! concentrate on your work mann, dont get distracted by a gal.
My 2nd collegue, Lauren, wasnt too happy today, she got fined $79 because he car's bonnet was like a few inches into the restricted parking zone and she was like full argueing with the officer and stuff, saying shes already going off, why are you charging me? i will never park my car into the restricted zone mann! its not worth that split second laziness to find parking, i rather wait than throw my $$ away like that.
so the usual.. work work work.. then i had 1 passenger who was migrating to Wagga Wagga with his wife and his infant. I had to charge him like $300 of excess baggage mann! i felt really bad but i had no choice. He had 9 bags, a total weight of 150kg, which took up 3 of my luggage belts.. his bags were 100kg over the limit, and I tried to put into the system of a 100kg weight additions and it rejected it. so end up i had to put in 99kg over and charge him $297. Well, i really thank god he just paid me the cash and didnt put a fuss over it. Another problem was, some of his bags had to be on standby and might have to be removed if the plane gets too heavy. so i couldnt promise him his bags could make it on this flight and will go on the next flight tml morning and he has to pick it up from the airport. and he lived like 100 km away from the airport.. haiz poor guy... but really, he was really cooperative and understanding towards me, he even admit to me his hand luggage has exceeded the allowance, so i was like, so u want me to charge you more?.. no lah, cannot liao lah... so i said just do your best to get on the flight mann and be careful when opening the overhead compartment!! and i really thank you so much mann! its really nice meeting you.. may you be blessed in your new home, and may god's blessing shower over you and your family. hope to see you soon!
Thank you to all passengers who checked in really early for our flights, we really appreciate it!
and hey u noe what? i got to see Air Force 1 with my own big eyes!! never had i seen it in real life before. When i was driving out of the airport, his plane was already taxing out onto the runway. His plane is a Boeing 747-300, titled 'United States of America', but his plane is old mann, i wonder when his gonna upgrade. B743 has been in operation since my 1st trip when i was like a 5 year old kid to Hong Kong. He should upgrade to A380, at least he will have the whole upper deck to himself to build his own residence in there. Goodbye bush, hope you've enjoyed the wild weather of sydney and bringing APEC to a close.
The drive home was good, it didnt take long, traffic was well, hammered by car past 100km / hr.. and the Rugby world cup is starting tonight!! how exciting.. lets see how the qantas wallabies perform. but tonight is versus japan, so i dont exactly see anything much interesting, im waiting for the wallabies vs the all blacks, or vs the springboks or even vs England. too bad johnny wilkinson is out from an injury, hope he comes back mann, i wanna see his deadly drop kicks. i tell u mann, this guy is like full pro with his outfield kicks, even 250m out, he can reach the goal... i dont think the wallabies would win the world cup mann.. our kicker is crap as compared to the springboks and even the all blacks. wallabies got trashed during the Tri-nations, only marginly winning the springbok once... where is wendell sailor mann.. i really like it when he was playing for the wallabies, i think his really tough, like a big bear, he could literally smash through a defence wall.. i reckon his much better than matt dunning or matt giteu. too bad, he took drugs.. now out of the wallabies.. haiz.. tml the church dudes wanna go play bball, or rusty ball, as willz calls them... lets practice our music and go.. hopefully the weather goes well tml... and hope the court is not taken!!
Oh yeah, you will need to scroll down to see the tag board, and to those reading this, i really thank you for dropping by and god bless ya.. goodnight!

Please stop raining mann!!

I'm so sick of this rain here. No doubt sydney really needs to fill up their dams, it also creates alot of inconvenience for everyone here, more road accidents leading to more massive jams... Everytime it rains, somehow, my company will always have their flights delayed, and there we go again getting yelled at and screamed at by passengers whom never understand why they are stuck at the airport, well neither do i??? look, things are just the way it is, by yelling at me is not gonna make the planes leave earlier.. dont u understand that if the weather is bad, we cant take off for safety reasons?? there are guidelines to follow ok?? sometimes the incoming aircraft that is operating your flight cant land into sydney because of poor visibility and no clearance from the control tower, what do u want to do about it? stop telling me you have a party, you have a meeting, i dont care what you guys have on agenda, things are just the way it is.. blame the weather if you wish!!
I can understand how you guys feel about being stranded, but look, all of us want to get out of here as well.. so do i, i wanna go home!! the longer you guys are stranded, the longer i have to stay as well.. you'll prob say oh yeah you get paid for staying!! i rather not earn that $$ and get abused and tormented by you all.
And why should I waive the excess baggage charges because the flight is delayed, dont u understand i'll get into trouble mann?? I have no right to do anything and make any decisions, im just doing my job

Thank you to those who read it!

This is my 1st post in almost 9 months since I've ORDed and 2 years since the last post.
I will never forget the times we had at CABMC.. it has been a pleasure working with all your medics and doctors... I've much learnt more about myself and everyone, and all the little medical skills here and there are extremely useful in our everyday life. All the days we've spent in the docu room sleeping, and everyone wakes up when lynn comes in, and starts minusing off@@ argh!! i hate that.. esp when she asks me to calculate how many mistakes are in the duty file... hehehehe...
Finally, am back in Sydney, down under!!
this place has changed alot, our church has changed, all my little high school friends are already in 3rd year uni, while im still in 1st year.
Cam has moved on to Hurstville, almost immediately when I came back. It was really sad to see him go... I really thank God that Cam was around at church ever since i first came to Sydney and has been really supportive with my family, especially myself. Will never forget the times we've spent together, at SYC, during bible study, at youth group, crazily wacking the church drums.. our lunches, the days u've spent lecturing me abt my poor driving and encouragements etc..
When i first got back to Sydney, I went to work straight away at the airport, which was a very very difficult transition for me, from 2 years of medical centre work to a sudden customer service position. I felt lonely. It felt really crap.
Too anxious to start uni, its like your going to a school which you know nobody there. Anyways, the bed is calling me to lie down on it.. so yeah, have to work later today so have to rest well! take care guys and for those who are reading, thank you very much and God bless!
