Am finally back from NGO-CAN and thankfully, I heard this route is going to be taken out! We may not be working at full load at each leg but its still tiring enough with the early show ups and late touch downs!

However, that flt and the flt back to sin was made more enjoyable with the wonderful crew I flew with. Not all but most of them were really genuinely nice and it really feels less torturous to be at work. :)

Before this, Jeff and I went away to taiwan/hkg for 9days! With all the hype and most friends telling me how taiwan is so enjoyable, I was kinda disappointed cos I didnt enjoy it as much as they promised! Haha..Well, the food was unique in their ways but it didnt much suit my palate as well as in Hongkong!

Shopping was expected to be less fruitful so I aint complaining bout it. Haha..

Maybe cos also we had to walk alot too that I didnt find it quite relaxing at all plus we were drenched with the heavy downpour that lasted to the whole of the next day! Not nice when you have to carry a brolly, walk around in totally soaked shoes and jeans and try to eat the food bought from shilin market!

To stop at HongKong was a last min decision. We didnt want to waste the opportunity
cos we had to stopover at hkg anyway when we go to and fro taiwan.

I enjoyed hkg so much more! Sadly it was only for 2 days but we went to disneyland,lan kwai fong and Da yu san Big Buddha! And food was superbbb..hehe esp the egg tarts ( which I ate consecutively for 2 days after BF), the desserts etc.

This trip had allowed me to bond with Jeff much closer and really appreciated the much research and time he had put in for our trip! :)

I was at 7 11 just now looking for the latest edition of Her World Brides, just as I was about to leave, a toddler was standing right at the door which kinda obstructed my path and I always take extra caution when opening or closing doors when little kids are around for fear of injuring their tiny and fragile appendages.

So just as I was about to try to make my way out by squeezing myself between the toddler and the door, she dropped her hat on the ground.

Then her stupid mother told her to pick it up, if the hat was right in front of u, would you just pick it up for her? And that toddler didnt seem to understand or simply didnt want to do it, she just stared at the hat. So I thought I was being helpful, I picked it up for her.

And what did i get in return for picking it up, the mother said ' Oh, I told her (her daughter) to pick it up'

Ok, maybe she was trying to explain herself so as not to sound like she was instructing me to pick it up, but hello where is your word of thanks?!!

If you were to say ' oh thanks, actually i was telling my kid to pick it up, then with a smile' the perception of it all seemed to be less hostile..

Feeling a little annoyed by now, i retorted: ' ya i am trying to open the door'

And the asshole mother actually said supposedly to her kid ' OH, auntie is saying she cannot walk around your hat'

WTF!!

I was so bloody fuming when I heard that, then she quickly just pulled her kid and walked further into the shop..TMD..here i was being nice and there she was being so bloody anal and sarcastic..

I dont care even if she was trying to explain every single thing to her kid, I feel she should at least use some tact here!!

I am so so so appalled..

If I see her again, I am so going to DIAO her..tmd..
