HELLO EVERYONE I'M BACK DID YOU ALL MISS ME X)! AND WHAT A GREAT TRIP IT WAS (:and haha i bet you all will never have the same kind of experience i did and it's hard to put down in words but IT WAS GREATFUN!
and this holiday was not your average go sightseeing kind, but i think i enjoyed it A LOT A LOT MORE!
firstly! because i had a nice time with my daddy (: no quarrels no arguments a very fun time! with the exception of him proclaiming : YOU SIAO AH! when i asked him to buy me clothes hahaa!
secondly! haha you all must be so jealous! because how often do you sit in a plane your daddy flies! haha and there were four flights in this week! singapore dubai, dubai to cairo, cairo back to dubai, and of course dubai singapore. and each time i heard my daddy's voice on the mike and it sounded weird haha!
thirdly! we went sightseeing with the crew! and our minibus driver was an ex racing car driver, so he zipped past the roads really fast! and the traffic in egypt is TERRIBLE. anyway the crew was very nice! and all the stewardesses were so FUN AND NICE AND FRIENDLY AND PRETTY (: and so sightseeing with all of them was very fun! and there was this very nice young stewardess! who's a trainee and she gave me a hug when we reached singapore (: i think the only thing sad would be that i will probably never ever see them again!
haha and they called my daddy 'captain' throughout the trip it was kinda weird >< but haha i think it was a mutual benefit travelling with them! because one of them did a lot of research and so we ended up visiting a lot of places! and my daddy would be nice and tip all the corrupted people there on their behalf hahaaa! but yes that's one of the benefits of having a pilot daddy!
so yes! it was a very fun trip! riding camels and horses and seeing all kinds of pyramids! i saw the giza pyramids, the sphnix, the red pyramid, the bent/black pyramid, the steps pyramid and er the-looks-like-a-heap-of-stones pyramid >< haha and we climbed them until our thighs ached haha!
and EVERYONE SHOULD GO TO DUBAI, BUT IN TWO OR THREE YEARS TIME. i'm going to go back! because i havent dined in the seven star hotel, ski-ed in the indoor ski slope, gone sand buggying/ riding the sand dunes and everything! but it is truly a wonderful place, with the exception of the traffic!
and this trip i had so much time to think about things, because standing in the desert next to the pyramids made me feel so insignificant. and i marvelled at the wonder of everything! and we went to the museum and my daddy didnt want to pay to see the mummies again, and it so happened that in that section, i was the only one. so i went into the mummies room, saw a mummy and no one else inside and i got so freaked out >< so i quickly stepped out, took a deep breath and decided to be brave and go in again! HEY being in the same room with about ten dead bodies is no joke okayy!
and then i thought further about what i wanted to be! because i actually wanted to be a stewardess for a period of my life! but i found out that the bond is two years, and i can't find two years of my life to fit flying in! because after jc, it's uni time, and hopefully i'll get a scholarship to go overseas, but it will have a bond of like six years, so after i finish my bond i'll be like 28, and by then i think i'll be too comfortable with my job to switch ): so yes, i think the only time will be when i'm er old! so i dont think SIA would want me anymore.
and being a pilot is not good too! because SIA sends all the females to silkair, and you obviously dont fly to as nice places. but then again, as i told bob, we can always be the first female pilots they hire or something ><
but yes, i feel extremely fulfilled after this trip (:
and i cant exactly think coherently, i dont think i told you much about egypt, cos this post is mostly about how i felt about the trip!
but i'll post photos soon and everything!
but all in all I HAD A WONDERFUL TRIP (:
