End of IA

Last Friday was the last day of IA. AHHH. I really really am missing CAAS now!! Yesterday when I was at East Coast Park and I saw the planes fly towards Changi, I was wondering what planes are those, who will be doing the ramp inspections and that I will not be able to see the planes take off and land daily anymore. And I miss the nice colleagues and miss learning new stuff while working. SIGH. Tomorrow there will only be 3 interns left in the office.

Been studying so hard the past few days for JLPT 4. Glad that it’s over and glad that I am pretty sure of passing it. Wa, can’t imagine if I fail! That’ll be so embarassing!

no.1

The following week will be last week of IA!!! This week 2 other interns left. It was quite a sad moment, especially when mel wanted to hug me. =[ But I’ll see her soon. So it’s okay. Last Friday I went to Seletar Airport for another ramp inspection. I think that I’m really quite lucky already, even though I didn’t get to go on the A380 or go for inspections of those big aircrafts. Cos I doubt I’ll ever get to step into the Seletar Airport runway or get aboard the small cargo planes. Besides, I think I learnt a lot from that trip because the officer really made me note down all the required information and I also completed the airworthiness checklist.

I have been spending a lot recently. Especially this week. I probably spent all my IA allowance already. Must find work when IA ends. But I am happy that I got the Zara coat. Even though it’s expensive.

When IA ends I shall catch up with all the Japanese and American dramas! But now, I really need to start studying for my JLPT which is this coming Sunday. AHHHH.

flight sim!

I finally finally started on my final report! Although all that I have done up till now is only the contents page. But the contents pages is very important since by doing it, I am already very clear on how I want my report to be. So… I am proud of myself!

Yesterday’s B747 flight simulator “evaluation” at SIA Training Centre was super amazing!!! All of us tried to take off and land and some even tried to collide with other ‘planes’. It’s so damn cool! When the aircraft lands, it really felt like a real landing! So yesterday we landed at Changi Airport many many times! Capt Chan kept saying that we are naturals at flying. HAHAHA. But it was thanks to him that we flew smoothly. All those buttons and switches are impossible to understand! He also practised a bit for his recurrent test. He tried many scenarios, for example a rejected take off, 1 and 2 engine failures, hazy weather, failed landing gear, engine fire and several others. And today he said maybe we can give it another go before we leave! That’s really kind of him!

And now.. I really have no idea how things are going to proceed.

pond wants facebook

Today I got stabbed in the bare, top part of the foot by someone’s high heels. It kinda dug a hole there. And it’s damn painful!!! If that woman were my sister, she probably is dead by now.

I am 21! Hmm, it’s a strange feeling because I didn’t celebrate with anyone when I got home. No one gave me money or presents today! But actually my mom already gave me that DS. Ya, so I am an unsatisfied, greedy pig according to my sister. What’s wrong with her, she’s talking to herself right now.

So many people wished me happy birthday today! Those that I didn’t expect remembered actually sent me a nice sms. It’s like a bonus, for them to remember and for them to send a greeting. I am touched. Thank you for all the effort everyone! Thanks to john the idiot, many people in the office wished me happy birthday too. Don’t know what to say about him, he can be such a pest sometimes. He told people that I’ll be treating them lunch or something. And he had been harping on that since days ago. My colleague treated us (the interns) Swensens! That’s very nice of her =] And I only did one session of filing today! So damn happy about that! In the afternoon 2 other eager interns did the job for me. But tomorrow will continue to be another monotonous day at work.

And ben called from Shanghai! I didn’t even know it was him intially. He said happy birthday and I was like “ahh thank you” but in my mind I was trying to match the voice to a face. But after trying very hard I still didn’t know it was him. He said I was being insincere. Haha.

Oh! In the midst of blogging my mom came home and she gave me a necklace with a key pendant. Nice nice. XD I am satisfied.

*listening to NEWS’s Happy Birthday*

when will things change for the better?

I am happy today! Cos people said my hair is nice! It’s been a long time since anyone said my hair is nice! And the sup is back and he gave me a Boeing notebook (it’s not free, he got it from their shop). I didn’t know Boeing sells notebooks. This probably means I didn’t screw up the thing he asked me to do before he left for Seattle. But despite him being back, I am still stuck at the filing job =/

Doing filing makes me sad and tired. And being sad and tired, I can’t respond to people properly. Like when the sup said things like oh you cut your hair/what motivated u to cut I don’t know how to respond. I just smiled and kept nodding my head like some idiot.  And I wasn’t very excited about the notebook when he gave it to me. Then I asked am I supposed to hand in the MC and he looked at me as though I asked some stupid question. B already!!!!!

Oh and now there’s the major AME (aircraft maintenance engineer) examination going on so I went to help bring those candidates that didn’t know how to get to the exam venues. Wow, wearing the CAAS pass caused so many people to start asking me questions that I don’t know how to answer. Like “I can’t find my name in the list” and “are you doing the orientation thing?” It was kinda scary and overwhelming.

Plus argueing with some idiot everyday drains my energy.

filing clerk.

I am actually hoping for the sup to come back to work soon! So totally sick of the past 2 weeks of doing filing, punching holes in files and being a part time storewoman. A fellow intern keeps saying that me, an undergrad is doing jobs that even he, does not have to do. Damn, I am not a filing clerk.

But at least yesterday’s shopping with shijie made my mood better. I am getting so much white hair!

Tomorrow I am going back for TKD! Wow, that’s like the 1st time since January after breaking my foot during grading =/ Anyway~ my airport pass finally has the magnetic strip and the red background! So happy! And I look happier in the photo as well. But I think shijie will say that I am using my spastic smile again. Cannot help it la.. Work passed so super slowly today. By this week I need to complete my 2 logbook entries. Then I can enjoy myself during the weekends! YAY!!!!!!!!!!

Okada shares my happiness with me~~ (In my dreams maybe. Talking about dreams, I woke up this morning dreaming about finding an identical pizza that appeared in Ratatouille and Wall.E. This is weird.)

Okada says he thinks yamapi is a good boy and he likes him (he adds that it’s not a confession) also he likes ryo’s face and wants to have a face like ryo’s (again he adds that it’s not a confession). He’s so cute~

End of SEP

I am actually quite sad that the cabin crew course has ended! It was so fun and interesting. Something that I will probably never experience. The people are so amusing as well! They will be going for the super numery tomorrow. Sounds so exciting! Anyway, I just hope to go for their graduation next Thursday. It will be nice to see them finally graduate. After all I have been with them for around 3 weeks. Although we never got really close but I think they are nice to us interns.

Today I was talking to my sup about the SEP course and he asked if I have other vocab to use other than fun/interesting. But that’s what the whole thing is to me! It’s fun and interesting!! So I had to think about the words to use and he says its bad that I have to think. My English is just bad. Gah. But I finally mentioned that I want to get high high grades. Maybe high high grades wasn’t specific enough. I should have just said I want to get A.

few more weeks

The most interesting event that happened during my nearly 2 months at IA was the aircraft inspection yesterday! I got to do down to the apron to “inspect” the plane with the airworthiness inspector. It was interesting (even though it was just a small aircraft)! I felt I learnt a lot through the inspector, he told me what they look out for when inspecting the plane and when he said “delamination” I was very excited because I learnt that before in aerospace materials! After inspecting the outside the cabin was checked to make sure it was safe and all that. Including the flight crew! And because we walked through the departure gates, for a moment I really felt like going overseas. It was quite funny because no one knew where the plane was “parked” at except that it’s at T1. So they were looking at the flight schedule to find the correct gate number. When the inspection was finished there were already many people seated in the departure lounge and they were looking at us cos some of us were still wearing the vest that bears the words “airworthiness inspector”. That’s the good thing of being in A/FO.

The movies that I watched recently are all Japanese ones. And there are few more interesting ones to watch! HYD Final and Kurosagi!!!!! I saw the HYD trailer on TV Mobile today. So happy when I heard One Love playing the the background!

Suddenly I regret being so persistent about going to Delft last sem.
