11月份嘅飞行班表

下个月嘅roster照旧喺上个礼拜20号出炉,嗯.. 整体上嚟讲,都还算ok啦,好坏参半,同上个月一样咁packed,可能系临近年尾,又咁啱系学校假期喇。

月头有我最钟意嘅四日悉尼/布里斯本航班,因为除咗好钟意悉尼呢个地方之外,仲可以享受黄金海岸嘅阳光与海滩添。跟住仲有我嘅至爱--台北。今次攞到嘅系新pattern,9日班,paxing up and paxing back。即系KUL/TPE同埋TPE/KUL唔驶做,paxing。只需要operate TPE/LAX同LAX/TPE啫,allowance又照攞足,超正。喺台北,唔驶讲,梗系吃喝玩乐喇,同啲friend去clubbing就最high喇,因为嗰度出名靓人多,可以大开眼界。每次去洛杉矶又或者美国,最正嘅莫过于可以扫名牌喇,嗰度啲名牌计起嚟会比KL平,尤其是当有sales时,讲紧嘅系美国牌子嘅名牌,例如: CK、DKNY、Ralph Lauren、Kenneth Cole、Guess、Tommy Hilfiger、Coach等等。比如讲我最钟意著嘅CK同埋RL底裤,喺KL至平一条都要马币七、八十蚊以上,但系喺美国十蚊美金就有交易,如果去factory outlet度买仲平,十蚊美金3条我都见过,所以我会买好多好多底裤返嚟,有啲系自己嘅,有啲系帮人哋买嘅,哈哈。每次去台北同埋LA我都一定会大出血。

除咗呢两个我嘅心头好之外,仲有普普通通嘅伦敦喇。但系成个roster,偏偏就俾一个烂臭flight Spoilt咗,就系冇啦啦整只至超级无敌劲爆乞人憎嘅Mumbai俾我,讲过好多次我至憎做印度机,尤其是系孟买同新德里,几个月前已经顶硬上做咗一次架喇,点知加阵又嚟,喂! Rostering department,你哋系咪玩嘢啊????

Flinders Street Railway Station - Melbourne

Been past through this building many times, was attracted by its outlook when first time I saw it.. Yeah, the building that I talking about is - Flinders Street Railway Station. It’s stands at the corner of Flinders and Swanston Streets Melbourne and is the oldest city station in Australia, built in 1854.

Flinders Street Station is the central railway station servicing Melbourne and is a city icon, and historical landmark with its large dome, unique color and beautiful, grand Baroque architecture. The bright colors and architectural lines contrast with the surrounding city buildings and developments.

This is one of the most photographed place in Melbourne hundreds of people are taking a photo of this grand edifice. The domes and clock tower give the building a dominant civic presence. At night time the building is well lighted and its strategic illumination ensures that the building continues to catch the eye.
The central railway station for Melbourne, is not only the hub of public transport for the city, but also an historic and cultural landmark
It is easily one of Melbourne’s number one icons with its stunning grand scale design and location
The steps under the station's famous domed clock tower has long been the most popular meeting place for Melbourneans coming into the city

Drinking session - Jo'burg

When leaving Argentina, I feel a bit excited cause finally started my journey back to KL. Flew from Buenos Aires to Cape Town then immediate paxing to Johannesburg. Spent another 4 days 3 nights in Jo’burg before I can went home. Well, the same things happened again -- eat, sleep and watching dvd. Haha.. boring ho?? But this time we have add 1 more program, that’s drinking session. Hehe...

Since nothing much to do in Jo’burg and nobody want to go to Sun City, so we decided to have our enjoyable drinking and gossip time in room. We bought the wine from the wine shop next to our hotel. Actually I am not so into wine and beer, I more prefer hard liquor and cocktails. Taste better and get "high" faster. :p

Overall, I didn’t use much money in this trip, cause not joining any tour and not do much shopping(actually nothing much to shop, hehe), so I saved most of my allowances for this trip. I need to use this money to clear off my credit cards bill and other commitments. Since economy is turning bad, so we must save money and spend wisely oh...

Cementerio de la Recoleta - Buenos Aires

After a long awaited 14days, finally came back to KL on Friday morning. Since being away from KL for about 2 weeks, I got a lot of things to do after came back. So these few days will be very busy for me.

Well, talking about this trip, nothing much special cause I just did it in May. The flights were full as usual as it is not a daily frequency. My 1st port for this trip is Cape Town, 4 days 3 nights there. Basically I did nothing at Cape Town except sleep, eat, watch dvd. Not joining any tours there cause most places in Cape Town had been covered. After that, going onwards to Buenos Aires, another 5 days 4 nights there. Same old things I did there, sleep, eat, watch dvd, shopping. But this time I had been to a place which I didn’t visit before during my last 2 trips to Buenos Aires - Cementerio de la Recoleta (Recoleta Cemetery).

Recoleta Cemetery is a famous cemetery which is the final resting place of many of Argentina's wealthiest and most famous families and personages. Internationally, Eva Perón is the best known person buried in this cemetery. The cemetery contains many elaborate marble mausoleums, decorated with statues, in a wide variety of architectural styles.

Two words of warning though before come here. Firstly, do not go if you have a cat allergy, or just don’t like cats. This is because there are dozens of them who seem to live in the cemetery. I have no idea why there are so many.

The second warning is to avoid the cemetery if you have a vivid imagination. This is because although most of the tombs are well kept, in most cases the coffins within are on clear display. Some of the older tombs are actually ramshackle, with no glass etc and the moldering old coffins within are almost within hand reach. It is quite ghoulish. As for me, daytime with accompanies are still ok, night time ABSOLUTELY NO WAY!!! Very scary!!!
Entrance of Cementerio de la Recoleta
The coffins are clearly see inside
The mausoleums are crowded closely together, allowing little room between them for pedestrian passages





Cats who are seem to live in the cemetery
Some are richly ornated, with intricate carvings of death related symbols or items meaningful to the occupant
The quiet streets of the cemetery invite the visitor to stroll, or sit and rest, while forgeting the busy barrio of Recoleta just outside the walls

Members of Eva Peron's family are entombed here in the family vault
Tomb of Evita also here
