From Off's To The Return Of The JeddahY

I only have few flights this month of weddings, and I tell you I am anticipating drought cum next month. Waaaahhhh! Nonetheless, I thank Thee for letting me save some bucks for the rainy days which by the way taking over my wet road for a couple of months now.

During the times that I had no flights which means the whole month, I was able to sleep less, worry about my Zit breakouts, download music, enjoys my new netbook, my new DSLR and the rest were my old stuff. I did a lot of cleaning of all sorts.

Merci for Marie Therese for letting my old curtains back. A few more arrangements in my room and it will be Oh so perfect!

I had only a few flights this month, total of 4. I was removed from my BEIRUT fligt and my 1st New York standby, well I was not called. So I only had 428, 101, 323 and my favorite 313.

313 stands for JED or return of the JEDDAHy. I love this flight... well, to give you an insight why I loved this flight, emphasis on the loveD are the following;

1. Boarding takes forever, how cool is that?

2. Noice cancellation headsets for a 2 hour and 20 minutes flight

3. Two choices of Hot meals, bar service and coffee and tea

4. Very hip passengers from our neighbouring countries of Jakarta, Manila, Malaysia

5. Uber-hail-fellow-well-met couthie Pakistani and Indian

6. Landing cards and health cards and immigration cards

7. No alcohol on board

8. Heaver-than-air handcarry luggages

9. Stale smelling

10. Umra flight and families who wants to stick together even in a short flight

Though this flight is good, I wanted to do New York, eventhough 4 times a month, kill me with these flights. Especially that Ramadan is coming by August, wow, Jeddah flight will be more exciting... Yahuhuhuhuhu! And I have one more by the end of July.

Well, I'm not complaining. It's perfect because with this flight, I can sleep for 24 hours after.

Michael Jackson And Farrah Fawcett Died

Life is really short...

Sad news came when I touched down from Dammam's King Fahad International Airport.

Michael Jackson died from cardiac arrest at the age of 50. At first it didn't sink to my head but news came like fruit flies.

And the famous the blonde-maned actress whose best-selling poster and "Charlie's Angels" stardom made her one of the most famous faces in the world, died Thursday. She was 62.

CNN) -- Entertainer Michael Jackson has died after being taken to a hospital on Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest, according to multiple reports including the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press. CNN has not confirmed his death.

Jackson had been in a coma at the hospital, sources told CNN after paramedics revived him at his home.

Brian Oxman, a Jackson family attorney, said he was told by brother Randy Jackson that Michael Jackson collapsed at his home in west Los Angeles Thursday morning.

Family members were told of the situation and were either at the hospital or en route, Oxman said.

Fire Capt. Steve Ruda told CNN a 911 call came in from a west Los Angeles residence at 12:21 p.m.

Ruda said Jackson was treated and transferred to the UCLA Medical Center.

Asked specifics of the patient's condition, he said he could not discuss them because of federal privacy laws.

The music icon from Gary, Indiana, is known as the "King of Pop."

Jackson is the seventh of nine children in a well-known musical family.

At the medical center, every entrance to the emergency room was blocked by security guards. Even hospital staffers were not permitted to enter. A few people stood inside the waiting area, some of them crying.

I grew up with MJ's songs... the world will surely miss him....

My Nth New York

It's been my nth time to New York and I haven't seen enough, the Statue Of Liberty, Empire State and the nice Designer outlets .

But the most interesting part in going to NYC are our guests and my collegue. Few days before the flight I already condition myself that this will be a great and entertaining flight. Passengers who are mostly from the sub-continent of HINDUSTAN ( India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) and the crew from various nationalities with different work ethics and laziness per se.

Well, as expected, going both back to New York and Abu Dhabi were full, full of fortunate souls who were able to live the life in America but still maintains their hygienic powress. Bwahhah, it's ironic that they have all stayed in the US for a long time and still preserved their culture and tradition by not taking a bath and cleaning their selves properly. But compared to Toronto, Sydney and Melbourne flights, passengers are quiet and knows the phrases of " THANK YOU and I Appreciate it!" None the less, majority are "PG".

As for the crew, oh well, what to do, they say that in a dozen of eggs you buy, there will always be a bad egg, rotten egg perhaps. So as expected the service was smooth in the beginning but come in the middle of it and before the 3rd service is finished. He/She will destroy everything and in our case, well, she did. She woke up late, complains too much, she was L3, very beautiful but her personality is so strong, that's why maybe eventhough her staff number is 14XXX, she is still in the coral zone because of warning letters, she was surpassed by our Thai galley operator who's FJ already with 15XXX in staff number, very efficient, Krab!

New York is fast, almost 15 hours but with 4 hours plus rest, not bad huh?

Though our hotel, the infamous GARDEN CITY HOTEL located at the posh Garden City Village located in Nassau, New York City, 18.5 miles from midtown Manhattan. The said village is upper-midclass, predominantly white, Roman-Catholics and Protestant community. Many families can trace their heritage to Italian and Irish immigrants who moved to Long Island from New York City.

Houses were Victorian inspired, huge, really huge houses. It's like you are in the shoot of Gossip Girl. Upper East Side Ho Ho Ho atmosphere.

It was raining Cats and Dogs, actually it's just drizzling as per Amanda. So I bored myself inside my room. Ordered from In-Room Dining, tried sleeping then just walked. Feel the fresh breeze of NYC. Then slept again.

I can't wait to see more of New York. Passengers will always be like that, they paid full so I will give them full service with happy ending, Service with a Smile (sarcastic? Nahhh. geniune smile I guess. )

UL

It's confirmed guys that EK is now offering 1 month unpaid leave or even more...and did you hear also that SG is offering 2 years UL? Any truth about this?

Crazy Crisis isn't it?

So we are very lucky that EY is just offering us to wash some of our uniforms right? And then they cancelled it.

Happy 50th Birthday Barbie

Barbara Millicent Roberts also known as Barbie is considered as the World's best selling fashion doll created by Ruth Handler in 1959 and she turned 50 last March and still looking sexy and fabulous.

It is estimated that more than 1 billion Barbie dolls have been sold worldwide in more than 150 countries since the doll was first introduced.

Mattel, which manufactures Barbie, claim three Barbies are sold every second.
In her 50 years on the planet, Barbie has enjoyed 100 different careers and had more than 40 pets including cats, dogs, horses, a panda, a lion cub and a zebra.

Events are being held around the world to mark the anniversary.
Models dressed as Barbie entertained hundreds of children at at Hamleys toy shop in central London yesterday.

The two models dressed in the doll's most famous outfits entertained the crowds who had flocked to the store.

Barbie Millicent Roberts has beaten off the ageing process over the years but has come in for criticism in some quarters.

Critics claim her figure sends out the wrong message to girls and is unobtainable.

Do you have one? I don't!

Well, though it seems that Barbie has her secret fountain of youth which she shared with Ken and many of her friends. I found an animated photo of Barbie reflecting her real age. Together with other famous Male Models during their time (90's-2000's).

Male models do aged faster than their female counterparts.
