Nairobi KENYA
I just came back from Nairobi early this morning & I must say that the place is beautiful and so green and plus I saw a girrafe (is that how you spell it?!) & some Elephants running around in the wild during my journey from the airport to the hotel that I was staying at...I was so exited oh... so cantik...
Anyway, the crew that I had flown with were really nice and needless to say we all got along well and had dinner and beers & wine...we also went to the market (macam pasar filipin & pasar KK combined together) and i got these really beautiful wooden carvings for a very decent price...
Apparently I have brothers and sisters there coz each stall that we passed the vendors were like "yo sista! come & look at my shop for free"..they are very friendly but sometimes it can get scary when everybody pulls you to their stalls..I had fun bargaining but was aslo terrified coz if I minta lebih nanti kana tampar ka..manalatau...hmmm it was a good experience though...
In our briefing sheets we were advised not to wear any flashy jewellery or clothes or even flashy shoes cos it would give opportunity for people to mug you...
but I was told that if i wanted a good bargain on anything that I wanted to buy i could just trade absolutely anything, like for example if i had a pair of sneakers that I didnt want anymore, I could use it to the market and trade it for wood carvings or banana leaf paintings or even get a better price with any purchase... i think its a good way to deal with unwanted things i mean instead of throwing it away, it could be of use for the people who cant afford it...interesting huh...
So today and tommorow Ill be off and Ill be going to Frankfurt, Germany on the 31st...
Which coincidently happens to be one of the 2 days celebration of the Harvest Festivals that the indegenious tribes of Sabah (East Malaysia) drink up to...syiok oh KK..I really miss KK and the food...I do have a huge tub of BAMBANGAN (a pickled appetizer) stored in my refridgerator..others have Ice cream or yorgurt...me...BAMBANGAN...
I will surely miss this years celebration and wonder who will be the next crowned Unduk Ngadau...(if you dont know what it means please visit http://osso79.blogspot.com)
Ok enough talking for today...Im going to have lunch and attempt to wear my new gym clothes and shoes (which BTW I bought last year) and maybe attempt to walk to the gym this time....hmmm

Trying to be positive
Hmmm...interesting...I was writing what I felt on this day and somehow it made me look like a sad person..so what I will do is take back what I said and type something else..lucky for me, blogs allow you to retract what you say..unlike words or things that you have said and done in reality...oh well..hope things work out well for everybody...Joyce, you said this blog was addictive..? dammit it is....

Elo
I'm In Kuala Lumpur & was here since the 8th and will be here till the 21st. You'll be happy to know that my good friend Joyce Siambun Has become an Auntie... Her nephew was borned on the 9th of May.He is so adorable. If you want to see him visit http://osso79.blogspot.com
I am here for my leave because I have to celebrate "my someone's special" birthday which was on the 10th May... and for him the celebration will go on for 12 days (sort of like Mardi Gras) hehehe.......his suppliers and friends beleive that it should even go on for a month or so. Basically I am suffering a little coz hari hari aramaiti, KARMA Hartamas has been converted to a Sumazau joint and the famous Moginum song has been sung there more than I've ever heard it even in KK.
We play Andrew Mudi's Version of Taragang Rasuk all the time especially when everyone Navuk already.
Hmmmm...bah cukup pasal moginum. I am at home trying to watch Ring 2 but its quite boring and frankly not even worth watching.
I also have great news...my Cat gave birth 2 three kittens, one completely white with blue eyes, one looks like a persian-white long fluffy fur, blue eyes,brown nose,ears,feet and tail, and the other is grey and white with blue eyes.. all kittens have blue eyes so the real colours will be seen after two months.
I have to get ready to go out....

Work
Today I will be going to London Heathrow at 815pm Malaysian Time and I am trying to look forward to it coz I have flown with the Inflight Supervisor last year and he was Ok with me..At least I wont have to worry that someone will pick on me about my Safety & Emergency Procedures & First Aid...
Anyway, did you know that Cabin Crew are trained for any emergency eveacuations and Most of the First Aid Emergencies? Hmmm.... see we dont only serve kupi to strangers but deep inside we are praying that there wont be any medical cases on board...So the next time you see us smiling, its us trying to be a human radar to see who is a possible risk of giving us problems during the flight...hhehhe.
I sort f like this blogger. Very nice.
I'll be back on the 5th of May, which coincidently is the anniversary of my dad, 13 years since My Father The Late Mr Alexius Danggai left us.

Another New Day
HOME
Micheal Buble
Another summer day
Is come and gone away
In Paris and RomeBut I wanna go home
Maybe surrounded by
A million people
I Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know
And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but
I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another aerorplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
I’ve got to go home
Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home
And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me But this was not your dream
But you always believe in me
Another winter day has come
And gone awayAnd even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I’m surrounded byA million people
I still feel alone let me go home
I wanna go home
FOR YOU DARLING
Changing Routines
Hi
Its 2:23am in Dubai and I am wide awake and am wondering when my next flight out of here is. You see, I am on "reserve" which means that my duties can change and crew schedulling may or may not decide to use me for the next few days.
Hmm well I'm not really sure what to say now cos I'm new :)
Not to long ago I lost a friend. Of course it was very difficult for me to accept or believe that he really left.He was an acceptionally outstanding bloke filled with character and never hesistated to lend a hand to anyone. His departure opened my eyes to understand that life is really short and we have to make do with all that we can, and stop regretting and move on quickly. Thats when I decided to accept that my life is a beautiful one. It just depends on how you choose to look at it.
So, me and one of my closest friend, Joyce made a pact, and that was to live life to the fullest and do one different thing every day and change our routines. Which maybe made me to do this.
Here I am 10 hours flight time away from home. I guess I'm trying to earn a decent living and trying to find a reason to why I still am slightly unhappy. I know I know.. I should be positive and optimistic because not many peole get to do what I do...
Have you heard the song Home by Micheal Buble? Thats exactly what I am feeling right now.
I was really suprised when I read that Joyce Loves Micheal Buble coz currently he's all I ever listen to. Especially Save The Last Dance For Me... Maybe thats why I get along with her more than anyone.
So I am going to keep my first blog short.
