A great way to fly?

I laughed real hard. I have always known the toughness of the job, through observations and friends’ recounts. This quote puts it into perspective.

So you want to be a flight attendant?

Go to a resale store and find an old, navy suit that an army sergeant might have worn. Add a white shirt and a tie. Wear that same outfit for three consecutive days.

Such a pleasant surprise! Received a care package from Japan. All from my favourite drugstore in Tokyo so “[I] won’t miss it this summer.” She’s so sweet :)

Believe it or not, the packaging is a paper bag!

Nihon care package

It will be amazing to see her again. Hopefully this November.

The 60th set of nominations has been released. As a proud TV addict, I am pleased to see Dexter, Pushing daisies and 30 Rock on the list, after a week’s exile in central China. I cannot tell who has better acting/directing skills. But I like it when people die, get cut up, are revived, and/or are mocked at.

Speaking of glitz, I felt like a rockstar when I feasted on the non-carb meal onboard SQ. Everyone, who is not adverse to protein, should seriously try it.

Memory fades real quick. Just last week, I could still feel the breeze sweeping across Cottesloe beach. Perhaps it was the cold. As the cough subsides, I begin to wonder if it was just a dejavu. Thankfully, I still managed to piece together parts of the recollection, albeit in reverse order. No human faces simply because.

Note to self: Humming Jay Chou’s Qing Hua Ci can really screw with your thought-process. Such obscure lyrics, such haunting melody.
