Currently lazing in bed because I'm a sick cat in the city of love. Was so sick in the morning, self-medicated myself the whole while, and am getting better just by waiting for the doctor. Talk about efficiency. -.-
Was so excited for Paris. Wanted to explore the place so much especially with the festive season coming up. Champ élysées, arc de triomph, norte dam, louvre, etc on the exhaustive list.
Went to the Eiffel yesterday in the night. I guess it's everyone's dream and it was beyond gorgeous. Will always remember that moment forever. Can't wait for my next trip here. But now, I can't wait to go home! Au revoir, Paris.

My eyes are shutting as I'm typing this. I'm so tired I've been awake for close to a day with only a few hours of sleep, not to mention the seven hour time difference here in Frankfurt.
Frankfurt is sucha dead town.
(Continued after falling asleep)
So as I mentioned I don't know if it's the cooling weather, or just me, but Frankfurt seems like a dead/cold town. Totally different from Munich the other part of Germany I love! Yknow being someone who's v into sightseeing, no idea why but I really feel so uninterested in exploring the place, it's officially one of my hibernating stations.
So yesterday after touch down, we caught up on rest, and met at Mario & Lino's for lunch. Table for fifteen pleaze! Finally got the chance to try the scampi pasta with hello kitty sauce. Damn all this crew recommendations are so overrated! =.= but I gotta love the bruschetta served as an entrée! Headed to the shopping area thereafter, bought a few knick knacks (as usual always none for myself) I SHALL PAMPER MYSELF IN NYC... Must! :B
And hoyeah, we're gg to New York tmrw morning! I hope it's going to be amazing really! I'm like closer to Ted Mosby, Kim Kardashian it's the fucking real thing! Shall brush my teeth and have breakfast in a bit. Toodles!

Spent my entire day bumming around and it felt so damn good. In the afternoon, I was catching up on a couple of Running Man episodes, watched interviews of Adam Levine and the HIMYM cast on YouTube, made cold soba for dinner and then searching for a emotional-jerking movie to watch. I settled for Big Fish.
I'm kind of a mini fan of Ewan McGregor especially after his role playing Christian in Moulin Rouge. I enjoyed the movie a lot and certain scenes in Big Fish really striked a cord in my heart.
Mom's away on holiday for 10 days. I miss her already! And I'm leaving for Perth myself tomorrow. Bag all packed and I really really hope I get to visit Fremantle this time!
P/S: missing my homeboy and can't wait to see you on Friday xx

Sleeping late tonight because I'm off tomorrow... Hooray! Earned an extra day off because my flight delayed and in turn disrupted my Shitney flight.
Was in an exceptionally good mood after knocking off from work in the wee hours of night because I got to see Beeb's face! Poor boy was waiting for me at home to gimme a surprise just to know that my STA was pushed back. Anyways, my bestest boy picked me after I washed up and off we went for supper. Satisfied my cravings for prata! Stayed over at my second home and watched him play GTA V till I knocked out. Simple nights like that and I'm contented.
So today was my offday! The lim bros dropped me off at the swimming complex where I did 20 laps in the teaching pool. Happy girl because it's the first time I'm wearing my new swimwear. :D walked to get my popiah and do some grocery shopping and stock up items in the fridge 'cause mom's gonner be on a ten day holiday trip. Fingers crossed I just hope for a good call up before jet setting for a four-sector flight I'm super stoked about. Frankfurt and New York, I'll see you soon!
Aight, shall hit the sack after this mini update... Goodnight, world.

And today, I thought about you again. My heart hurts and I miss you so much. Hope you feel it, I really do because the last thing I want is for you to feel lonely or forgotten. I picture your face, and the past. It's one of those things that I'd give up anything to have you physically here with us. I still cannot come to terms that everything has changed. Losing someone hurts so damn much. I love you :( And one day we'll meet again but till then, I'll be missing you, so very much.

Been receiving lots of love lately and extremely thankful xx
Hello from Bombay! I noticed everytime I blog, I'm in a hotel room in some part of the world and very often because I'm bored. So this trip to India brings back memories. When I was seated on the crew seat yesterday about to land into Mumbai, I recalled how one year ago I was given the chance to enter the cockpit during my training flight and witness landing from the coolest seat ever, the jumpseat. It marked my very first time operating on a flight as a cabin crew.
So I'm currently wrapped in the comfy bedsheets and going to catch some shut-eye soon before my overnight flight back home. Think I'm gonner knock out easily cause I just filled my tummy with authentic indian food. Cheap and damn yummy butter chix and garlic naan at max 6sgd? MY MOTIVATION EVERYTIME. &&& am excited to go home because later in the night I'm gg to loklok across the border with my homies. I love packing my offdays with activities!
Right now, there are a few things I can't wait for:
-To give Beeb a big tight squeeze
-To fucking party it's my bestfriendforever's 21st this Saturday
-To receive October's roster (Praying for London, Amsterdam, States, Incheon, Taipei, 380 training, flights w batchies) :D
-To have someone to get me truffle champagne snowskin mooncake from Raffles Hotel!
It's been my annual leave period and I love the fact of not having to worry about anything, with plenty of time on my side. But a teeny workaholic me is dreading the schedule for the upcoming month. Gonner be so deadbeat yet lousy cash in return. Brace brace shall think +ve and make the best outta the hotels to work out/swim. Rome end of the month shall be my motivation,... fighting!
Went to SGH today to visit beeb's daddy and it brought back many flashbacks. I miss you Mama, I miss you everyday, and I hope you feel it. & I hope daddy Lim will recover soon too!
& we had dimsum at Mongkok dimsum at geylang for dinner today! I can have dimsum any time, errday! Pardon me but I can't understand the hype about Swee Choon it's so overrated, ok but I like the salted egg yolk bun and 126 too, really really not a fan especially the crammy set up. Sg needs more awesome supper eateries for foodie gluttons like me! :B did I mention I spotted the famous Geylang Lor 9 beef kway teow just across the road today? Coming back for you soon!
Shall go find the stupid boy in the living room who abandoned me for soccer. G'bye!
Count your blessings everyday. Yknow every time I touchdown from the aeroplane to a whole new country, there's this euphoria that hits me reminding me that I have the best job in the world.
As I scroll through my Instagram feed, I feel so blessed. One day I'm in Japan slurping up a ramen, then I'm in Moscow, taking in the magnificent onion architecture of St. Basil's cathedral, and on another, I appear in Munich having beers and taking a day trip to neighbour Austria.
Indefinitely, it's not always rainbows and butterflies, I'm an emotional wreck when I load my luggage in the cab and make my way to the airport (every fucking time), because in the past I never figured that truly home is where the heart is and leaving your loved ones behind is a hella shitty feeling.
Right now, I'm in my room in Auckland. You heard me right, I've just been here two flights ago and this is my third New Zealand flight this month! Turning into a kiwi crew. But this standby pattern is perfect for the sick me, with a non-stop hit mucus flowing nose. By the way, I found the address of my fav phô stall here so I'mma run there later during my non-standby hours. Yay!
& recently, I'm tempted to own a pandora. I always told myself, no no no. Honestly not a fan of the bracelet but kill me before I go crazy on the charms. I tot know which ones I need!!! & then I'll think of Swarovski jewellery, a lovely new MacBook, and a good audio technica/beats earpiece. These are the tops in my wish list at the moment. & I NEED TO STOP SPENDING LIKE NO BOD BIZ.
&&& I also needa eat healthy. I gained so much weight it's not funny! I never realised till my mom pointed out to me the amount of meats (I love steak you see), and seafood and high blood/cholesterol food. So I gotta control for not only the weight but for my health as a whole. "If it flabs, it's fats." Mantra from annoying and not-helping-because-he-is-so-fit-I-look-bad-next-to-him Beeb. :B
On another note, I think it's really important to be humble in life. I sincerely look up to people like that.
Post script: I miss you dearest Mama and I hope you feel it :(

Aloha! I'm currently in my room in Auckland, snuggling under my bed sheets and just finished watching Dark Shadows on sky movies. Haribo gummies accompanying me.
In my hotel room since I have standby to fulfil and pretty bummed because I can't leave the room/sightsee. :( Many say it's boring here but I crave for adventures and have so many places I'd love to explore in Auckland... One being the waitomo caves!
Was looking forward to this trip despite the standby pattern all because of my fav Vietnamese phô noodles. But guess whut, they just had to take my home away from home. The food court the stall was at freaking closed down. I felt so lost. Tried burger fuel in the end. One thing about flying is that it makes me treasure Chinese food. Sometimes when I'm outstation, all I want is a warm bowl of a soupy dish like bar chor mee, or something singaporean like chicken rice, laksa, etc it just warms me up inside.
Standby isn't too bad actually. I thought I'd be mad bored but I haven't even touched my laptop which I brought over (had planned to do insanity) but I guess catching up on sleep feels like a better deal. :B
It's winter here so the sun sets pretty early. I like it when it's summer, so I get longer days... So my agenda later would be to get manuka honey, grab dinner, do a foot mask and sleep for flight tmrw!
G'bye!

Hola! Chronicles of Jerms has returned after a good three four months... :) It's like life just passes by like the speed of light, with events flying past like clouds caught in a twister.
I just came back from Dhaka this morning. First time on the airbus. Thank god I survived. (P/S: I just did a Bangalore) I'm tired just looking at my unpacked luggage and the mess my room is in and I gotto get cracking to pack for my next flight already. Think happy thoughts they say. I say hell yeah because I'm going to Haneda in two days!
I just got back from Amsterdam recently. For the record, it's my first ever breath of Europe! I always heard how lovely the place was so imagine the exhilaration when I saw the words AMS printed on my roster. Like I finally got the chance to visit her myself. Amsterdam, truly blow me away. Stunning buildings, rich culture, stained with a badass reputation, super nice (and good looking) Dutch. Now, whut's not to love.
The only pity was that the tulips hadn't bloomed yet. I can only dream right now... One day... One day... Really hope to be rostered back soon, my love.
First post of the new calendar year. This year, I decided to pass the part of making resolutions. I figured you can make a tonne of 'em but it ultimately boils down to decisions you make at certain points of time and yknow in life, shit happens -Whether it being deep shit/or most hopefully, dope shit. So I'm just gonner kick off thy shoes and live this life as best as I can because that's just how I roll. :D
I've got Pop Dathology 2012 Mashup by Daniel Kim playing in the background right now. Loved it so much I just had to be rash and buy the song on iTunes for a buck and a few cents more.
2012 has been yet another year of my life. More so hitting the milestone twenty one. 21 on the 21's may, 2012. In that year that just passed me seven days ago, I've got the dream job, which in turn brought me to know the awesomest, craziest batchmates, been to more countries that I've ever dreamed of in the shortest span of time. Mumbai, Delhi, Jakarta, Denpasar, Auckland, Istanbul, Perth, HongKong, San Francisco, Beijing, Shanghai, and technically Manila and Bangkok's airport since it was scheduled turnarounds. Yay to Melbourne tomorrow and Christchurch at the end of the month. But whut's really making my insides shout fuck yeah is the annual leave that's coming my way with batchgirl J back to her hometown in Xiamen. Can't freaking wait baybeh. & yknow I have got this good feeling for February's roster, really really. Amsterdam, pretty please. *Fingers crossed*
To add on, 2012 brought my tummy some pretty awesome food as well. & Being the stonch foodie I am, I love going out in search of good food. Good food makes me smile from ear to ear. I love that feeling and more so I love to share these good food which explains the almost daily food spam in Instagram and the collective food picture album in my facebook, 'Yummy yummy, love in my tummy.' Face it, I have a soft spot for good food and damn right, I've been putting on calories like I shouldn't. Someone pass me the Insanity CD already. Anyway, I after this long-winded paragraph, I just wanted to share w you where you can get one of the awesomest sushi maki (Called Shiok Maki 2nd Generation) I've ever tasted:
Wisma Atria, Food Republic,
Koh Grill and Sushi Bar
'Nuff said. Go get your maki now! +-16SGD for this plate of goodness but I promise you'll see rainbows and unicorns after sinking your teeth into this baby. You get the gist.
Signing off, keep calm & kick (I typed kiss initially. It was a typo) some ass in 2013,
