Bad bout of Homesickness..

Never thought that I would be one to miss home so much but when I landed in Changi airport for a transit and had to fly straight  to KL, I just lost it and started crying on the plane.. Sobbing, to be exact. KL was ok but it was not home.. Had a feeling that I was so near but yet so far from home. I really do miss home so much and just felt so helpless.. Learnt an important lesson that I am not as grown up and independent as I think I am.. 

Met up with my dear cousin while I was there so at least there was familiar face from home. She has joined the ranks of becoming a trolley dolley and we now have officially 2 in the family. Hahaha. Quite funny how I in someway spurred her to fly as well as my best friend on earth.. She is currently trying for Emirates and hopefully she makes it here very soon. Well, truthfully the job is not as glamorous as everyone thinks to be. In fact, working in economy is equivalent to working in MacDonalds. If not worse, cos we cannot chase crazy passengers out of the plane in mid-air and they do not leave till the flight is over. There is nowhere to run and no place to hide from them. Hahaha;p 

Lately, I have become the type of stewardess I hated in the past. Impersonal, aloof and essentially a bitch.. Hahaha. Think it really boils down to me hating the job onboard. Can't wait to go to business class where there is at least some semblance of service standards whereas in economy, what we do is basically throw out trays to passengers. There is simply no time to provide any level of service and also do any PR which are things that I thrive on and excel at. Still, I am trying to do the best I can so that I do not become jaded. The lifestyle which comes with the job is fantastic and one does have to pay one's dues in life. Nothing ever comes without some slogging in the first place so here I am, slogging in cattle class.. Hee ;p
