its been 50 over hours now since flight mh370 has mysteriously disappeared. mh370 was to take off from the capital of malaysia, kuala lumpur to beijing, china. at this point in time(as im typing this blog), im also watching the news on telly and they are reporting that the different authorities are still gathering information from the suspected crash site (which is most likely out in the open sea , south china sea to be precise). theres so much chaos especially in kl, where i think its the "hub" where all the news are flowing in to. thats why im not surprised if/when theres a big miscommunication in the process.
when i first heard this news on saturday morning, my heart just dropped and i still feel very uneasy over this incident as we speak. i have this strange weird feeling in the pits of my stomach. honestly, i've never really felt this way before over any other air crashes around the world (although with due respect, it was all very sad and tragic), except for one more other crash that gutted me back in 1995(will blog about that later). and my guess is the reason that im feeling this way is probably because its "closer to home" and lets not forget that i was once a cabin crew with malaysia airlines.
i can relate to how families and friends of all the folks on board flight mh370 are probably feeling right now. so many questions left unanswered and nobody can really help them. no doubt volunteers were sent to assist them in any possible way in this trying time but lets face it, these volunteers are not in these people's shoes. sometimes i do wonder, here the volunteers are trying to "talk" and destress these poor people, but would it help much? even if they let it out and "talk" so what? right now isnt really the right time to "talk" to them as they are numb, lost, angry, in denial etc. however no one knows if this would further aggravate the situation at hand or vice versa.
i was sent a montage of the 12 crew on board(including the captain and co pilot) and i think that i may have flown with one of the cabin crew. (wont be naming names). im surprised as to how so fast news can spread like wildfire and then the first thing im getting (from my ex batchmates) is the crew name list for that flight. then much later im sent the photos of the crew! wow!
i have my own thoughts on this whole situation but i shall reserve my comments and see what the outcome is. at the end of the day, what we need is hard proof of the whole incident. i just hope and pray that mh370 is "safe" wherever they may be. i just remembered one of the comment made by one of the spokesperson from malaysia airlines, he said something like "....that after more than 30 hours there's a slim chance that anyone couldve survived". but lets just hope for a miracle here!!
so im dedicating this blog today to all on board of mh370. may god be with them as well as their families. please say a prayer to them for strength. on behalf of the malaysian citizens, a big thank you to those countries who are lending a helping hand and god bless everyone.

hey hey whats up people! my apologies for not writing. well, i've done nothing much but scouring the net for some part time jobs, watching american horror story and not to mention my favourite kdrama series.
and speaking of which, i highly recommend that you to watch these kdramas, if you havent already watched them or worst case, if you're bored to death on a weekend with nowhere to go and nothing better to do, then by all means feel free to just check out the first episodes of these series that i've just mentioned and tell me what you think. we can have a chat about it. hehe
well so far i've watched playful kiss, the heirs, school 2013 and boys over flowers. pretty good shows(all are mostly up to 16 episodes only). mind you, it can bring tears to your eyes too at times(like it did mine).( aigoo what to do, im a softie at heart and a hopeless romantic). these shows are based mostly about high school kids and their lives, their ups and downs of being an adolescent- juggling family, school and part time jobs.
somehow, you know after watching these shows, it made me reminisce back when i was in high school(in an all girls school by the way), that i've never actually faced situations like those shown in the dramas. maybe perhaps because being brought up in malaysia those days(circa 1970) was better compared to now. and also could be that life in korea is different. during my time, i never heard of bullys or pushovers. only over achievers. hahahaha but sadly i aint one of them :P
now, as for american horror story, im watching season 3. i tell you its pretty good. will keep you glued to your seat! each season has a different theme/storyline. i say two thumbs up for this series! highly recommended.
ah yes, we're going on another short vacation, back to our hometown. yay! i cant wait. i dont know if you heard but here in singapore or in malaysia, the weather is so bloody hot!! but thankfully, here in singapore, its slightly better because of the strong wind thats blowing throughout the day. whereas in malaysia, from what my folks have been telling me, the dams there are drying up at a rapid pace. and in some cities, there's already no water! this is serious shit people. i really hope the government there is taking drastic measures to do something like say cloud seeding. having said that, i know that they cant do much as this is to do with mother nature (never muck around with her). and on top of that, indonesia has already warned us all that the haze will be approaching soon as there's already some burning going on as we speak, over in areas of sumatera/kalimantan or god knows where!
so i guess thats sums up my blog for today. nothing exceptionally exciting has been going on with yours truly. just the usual shit. how about you? same shit different day i guess huh?? you know you could always take a break and go for a short holiday. remember that all work and no play makes YOU a dull person! and not to mention, if you drop dead (touch wood), there's like 10,000 people eyeing your job! you are REPLACEABLE!! for realz!
