最近在学校的职业展和一位漂亮的新航空姐的一张合照,我可是提起了勇气去问她是否能够和我合照一张的哦,为我这份勇气鼓掌吧,哈哈。。。

Internship has finally ended… 可以说整个过程是有惊无险的。。。很多时候以为会有一些 mission impossible task 时,往往就会无缘无故的不了了之。哈哈。。。所以也不算很辛苦,只是整天做一些 admin task 做到快要发慌了。。。不过一切已完了。现在正在准备 SAT 的考试,已报了名,会在五月考,应该不会和入营时间碰撞吧?每天我都会到教会温习,教会环境够安静,能然我一条心地去温习。现在几乎每天都运动,好高兴自己 fit 了,人瘦了,壮了,真的会比较好看,哈哈。。。穿衣服也比较好看。。。运动也让我整个人refresh 了许多。我看我爱上运动了。哈哈。。。

最近可说是event连连。好高兴能够和弟兄姐妹一起侍奉。首先是为今年的Taiwan trip 筹款。Pei Fern在某某天跟我说:“你能为一个活动做 potato salad 吗?”,哇!我好兴奋。哈哈。。。Anyway, 我们连续两个礼拜作了这个筹款活动,这活动是卖一些我们所做的食物,那两个新期六,我们都必须为新期天的breakfast lunch作准备。很开心呢!一群人为了一个有意义的目标努力,感觉非常的好!

第二个礼拜天,因为实在太忙了,很多人只顾着卖食物,忘了吃饭。午餐时间过后,因为还剩下很多食物还没煮,我们就发挥了想象力,弄了几道菜,让CYYAM趁早吃了一个团圆饭。哈哈。。。我这food critic,当然是给足了满分!!!(因为里面一道是自己做的,那里可以扫自己的面子,啊哈哈!)没有啦,因为这一餐是整个CYYAM一起吃的,所以感觉非常的棒。

Finally, after more then one month of waiting, I FINALLY found a job on the LAST week of my holidays. Pathetic right? But I am considered lucky already, because I AM WORKING WITH MY MOTHER!!! Haha!... Her company was shifting soon, so they needed people to help them pack the warehouse and since I am so free, why not? Still can earn money. Ahaha... Anyway got to know my attachment company, quite shock when I first got to know where I was posted, because all the while I have already 认命 that I will be staying in school to do that stupid eSIP system for my SIP. So it turns out that I am posted to some semi-conductor company in a warehouse area which is SUPER near the church (just behind Hotel Windsor)! So close to mum's office also, so before my SIP started, my mum and I went to take at the location of the warehouse, the location is ok lar, just that that area is super warehouse area, no feel de lor, a bit sian... But starting to get used to my job scope le lar. Anyway, before my dull SIP started, my family went to this super got feel de restaurant to have dinner on the last night of my holidays, it is a Japanese - Western style restaurant which sells Japanese - Western style food, most importantly is the restaurant SUPER got ambience lor. Its in the style of English cottage feel, the lighting and everything made the restaurant feel really cosy to be a place to dine in! We seldom got chance to eat in such restaurant, so quite cherish the time I had over there. Show you all some photos lar har, don't be jealous hor. Ahaha... A lot of people already say Jun Jie always put nice photos of food on his blog to tempt people. But food photos are good leh, at least you see le, won't grow fat de. Ahaha...

Display set already look so nice, wonder hows the food inside. Haha...

很有欧式田园风情的餐厅吧?气氛超棒的!食物也是超赞的!好像走进了电影 “Ratatouille"里的餐厅。 请看下去吧!

日欧式牛肉蛋包饭。

牛油锔海螺

鲜菇意大利面

Seafood Platter

Every table will be given a key which contains the table number, so when you go to the counter to pay, they will know which table you are from. Interesting.

After dinner we went to walk around the Clark Quay area, Christmas decoration is up already, so fast! Saw a really funny restaurant along the way and went to eat Hokkaido ice-cream at the end of the day!
Blue lights glowing out of the decorated trees. Nice.

A clinic smacked in the middle of Clark Quay's restaurants and bar??? Nah. This is actually a bar that uses hospital as a their theme, they are really expensive, S$25 per packet of "drink", their "drink" is actually drips, but you don't poke the tube into your arms rather you poke it into your mouth. Older generation Chinese would surely not patronage this bar, as I am sure they would say “大吉利事,你咒我进医院吗?” Haha...

Surgery lights and hospital beds

Wheelchairs

Turkish ice-cream!

But I end up eating Hokkaido ice-cream instead of Turkish ice-cream in the end. Oishi!!!

The A380 finally made its historical maiden flight. And the first commercial flight operated by Singapore Airlines serve the Singapore - Sydney route. Congratulations to Airbus and Singapore Airlines for welcoming the A380 into another era of airline travel! If you are interested to know how the interior and the different classes look like, you can go to www.jetphotos.net to search for it.


Recently, my friend sent me this funny photo of Cathay Pacific's image girl looking at her own human size stand with a a funny expression on her face. Thats what I like about Cathay, they are fun, carefree and creative unlike some other airlines which are so concerned about their image and brand that they dare not be funny and must always be classy, like our own national airline. I LOVE CATHAY PACIFIC!

Finally, after more than half a year of waiting, Sammi's Show Mi Hong Kong concert DVD is finally out, the packaging of the DVD is the nicest among all the Sammi's previous concert DVD, there is a mini photo book in it and a bonus "Making of Show Mi" clip, this time the concert is flimed using high definition camera thats why the quality of the screen and audio is really good and the way they flim it reflected the "highness" of the audiences. Sammi was really energetic and sang her heart out for all her songs, it is also the most touching concert I have ever seen, she shared about the support from her family, read out a letter that she wrote to herself, talking about how she found her courage and gain back her confidence, it is the best performance I have ever seen. She is really a diva, but sad to say, Hong Kong's last diva. Anita is gone, Sandy Lam, Sally Yip and Faye Wong has already half retired. All the other singers can't really make it or reach their standard. So don't miss out this brilliant concert, I don't mind to borrow but please KEEP IT IN GOOD SHAPE! Quite ex hor!

New Generation Seats 大抖决, CX vs SQ!!!

Ever since we said goodbye to those days where even top notch airlines do not have any personal TVs (PTVs) and all they have on board were boring chairs and the only entertainment on board were whistling at pretty flight attendants (for guys only), eat, sleep, watching a movie being blocked by numerous heads infront and looking out of the window, the revolution of inflight facilities have indeed came a long long way. But as human beings, we will never be satisfied and always wants more. So here comes our new generation seats led on by the fiercest competitors of the aviation industry, Singapore Airlines and of course my beloved Cathay Pacific, however, I will not be bias this time, I will post a comparison of photos of seats for you all to decide which new generation seats you all prefer. Please do comment!

First Class:

CX

  • 36 inches wide seat
  • Guest seat
  • Transform into a bed
  • Massage functions
  • 17 inch TV
  • Personal closet

VS


SQ


  • 35 inches wide Seat
  • Transform into a bed
  • 23 inch TV
  • Mirrow and drawer

Comments: Ok ok, 目瞪口呆了吧?So now CX boast itself to have the biggest seat/bed in the sky but does that meant more comfort? I don't think so, if you all noticed, the TV and personal closet actually eats into the space of the bed which when compared to SQ's, there is 100% leg room for the legs. The guest seat and personal closet of CX's seat is also quite useless and the latter takes up far too much space. Now look at SQ's first class seat, simple simple simple but far more comfortable then CX's, firstly its only smaller than CX's by 1 inch which doesn't matter because the seat is still HUGE and oh my look at the TV! 23 inch, big big big, good for movies I would say. However one good thing about CX's seat is that there is massage function which I think is really cool. But in general, I would rather CX keep its design of the seat simple, therefore in this section, SQ wins!

Business Class

CX

  • Herringbone configuration
  • Fully flat bed
  • Massage function (Great!)
  • Guest seat
  • 15 inch TV
  • Plugs for laptops and wireless connection

VS

SQ

  • World's widest business class seat
  • Fully flat bed
  • Plugs for laptops and wireless connection
  • 15 inch TV

Comments: The new business class on CX is really an disappointment. CX has taken the Herringbone configuration concept from Virgin Atlantic which I think looks nice but impractical. Come on, you are a top notch airline, do something better, don't be a copy cat. Firstly, the seats are narrow, and the so called high walls surrounding the seat that they claim to enhance privacy makes passengers feel like they are flying in small packed tubes. Those seating at the window seats will have trouble viewing the scenes outside and this is again due to those high partition walls. Now, anyone who laid their eyes on the SQ new business class seat would actually be "wow"ing, first the seats don't look like business class seats at all, instead they look like first class seats! And oh my, see the width of the chair. Compare the looks of the cabin between both of them and you will find SQ defines "CLASS" more clearer and louder than CX. Too bad, CX loses again to SQ in this section.

Economy Class

CX

  • Fixed seat design
  • Sliding seat (Technology used in Business Class)
  • Larger 9 inch TV
  • More leg room
VS

SQ


  • More leg room
  • Private reading light
  • Plugs for laptops and wireless connection
  • 10.6 inch TV (Woho! Finally something big in economy class!)

Comments: For economy class, CX did quite a good job though. Fixed seat design, a design that will make having your meals without any disruption anymore, why? Because in the old designs, when that idiot in front of you reclines during meal time, you will want to smack his head because it takes up all your space and you will have difficulty reaching your food, so remember don't be an idiot and recline during meal times, you will cause inconvenience for the person behind! So how does this fixed seat reclines? The seat cushion actually slides out and the seat back reclining into the shell of the seat like those in business class and I would say this is really cool and smart of CX to use this design. But talking of class, CX still loses out to SQ, the private reading light is really thoughtful and wow, you can finally use laptops in economy, great. And the big 10.6 inch TV, oh my, this will really make my economy experience different if I were to fly with SQ because the TV is usually the companion I have in economy. Anyway, I think I will give it a fair for this section as both airlines did a great job over here in economy.

General comments: I would say CX was trying to be cool with all the features and stuff but they have forgotten about the main point which is COMFORT, most passengers don't really care about the gadgets you are providing them with, what they care about most is comfort and I think SQ has successfully captured this main point and therefore their new products are definitely lovable. In general, CX is cool this time and SQ is classy. But for me, a classy ambience is still my taste, so I would have to say SQ wins in this new Generation Seats 大抖决!
