What a unlucky day I have to say.

Today I started morning shift and company would arrange transportation for us to go to work. However, instead of calling everytime I need it the day before, I have decided to use company intranet to indent for transport which is supposed easier and reliable.

HOW WRONG IS THAT.

My bus actually din turn up!! ARGH!! I’M GOING TO BE LATE FOR WORK!

Obviously taxi is the only way to go, but taxis seem disappearing when you really need it. When you don’t need it, they keep slowing down or stopping wanting to pick you up.

Luckily, this uncle stopped for me and zoom I off to the airport.

I don’t have cash on me but the uncle is so kind to put on credit for me!! Oh my god!! thank u! thank u!!

^^^^^^

Ok….just in time for work, and rushing for my 1st departure of the day. Things went on smoothly as usual. My officer WF reminded me that this flight can be quite demanding so have to be alert and focused. I agreed with that, considering the characteristics of this particular one.

TRUE ENUFF, trouble is brewing already.

Due to the latest implementations about liquid restrictions, we have to be strict with that. So this pax had that in an ‘illegal’ way, and of course we have to dispose it. However that is not possible as pax still want it. Well, we need to do our job as it is not properly sealed, and ironically, she came from the place where such practices are very strict, so why the unsealed bag? And so argument here and there, my officers reminded her if she go on like that, she gotta miss her flight. Well, for the sake of other pax, we have to let the aircraft go due to quite severe delay. And so she missed her flight and for 1 hr, she has been yelling and turned slightly violent and argued we din remind her. Oh well, we did. And cos of that, I also nearly late for my next flight.

What a scene to witness, really I hate witnessing such obscene scenes. What should we do? Break the law and let her take the liquor? Or do our job, abide by law but pax get angry?

ALAS.

Lucky, this hullabalo ended after 12, and after that, flights have been ok.

Juz cross fingers that tomorrow will be better!!

So a gentle reminder to those travelling, make sure those duty free liquors and perfumes are properly sealed!
