My Current Life

Every time when I'm out of food, I get to choose what I want to buy to eat. I have three option to choose: ~

Option 1
Walk straight out to my house junction and turn left to McDonald.

Option 2
Walk straight out to my house junction and turn right to Taman Free School's hawker stall.

Option 3
Stay at home and cook Maggie Mee.

Usually I will choose Option 1 and never consider about the other two not because I'm rich but just want a change of taste since everyday must eat home cook food. (I rarely get this chance leh)

BUT

Today onwards, if I get myself into this situation AGAIN, I will choose Option 2 or Option 3.

Here's the reason, I was feeling damn super bored and rotting at home. So I find myself a job that is near my home which is McDonald. Everyday i get to eat one set of meal consist of a medium fries, a medium drink and any type of main dish I want. Not a bad offer, just that dessert is not allowed =(

The first day there, I met my trainer Rohanah (one of the manager), we call her kak Anah. She showed me everything in the kitchen till the front counter (which I've seen since small) and the Big Boss (owner) picture. I got shock when I saw the picture. It's the Big Boss and her sister picture and I thought it was just an advertisement picture which show people the happy feeling eating at McD =.=

After introduction, my trainer says today I do "runner" where I must get all the meals ordered my the customer and arrange them on the tray while the cashier accepts the payment. It took me a while to encrypt the weird codes on the monitor.

Eg : 1 LCoke, 1 vlDD, LFries, 3 ketchup, 3 Chilli.

I can encrypt all until I saw the vlDD. I stood there think "What the hell is that". Stopped a senior to help me interpret it and only I realize it is Value Lunch Double Cheese Burger. =.=

The next day, I changed station already. I was assign to Drive-Thru "presenter". Over there I have to check all the meals prepared by the runner before giving it to the customer. Most important I have to greet the customer "Good evening, welcome to McDoanld. Here is your order and please come again". Now when I close my eye to sleep, that stupid speech keeps ringing in my head. Celaka betul.

As for the working environment, it is nice to have such a funny colleague. Before that, all the Malay co-worker got problem pronouncing my name. I keep getting all weird names starting from Gun to Top Gun to Lim Guan Eng till one of them create a Malay name for me "Razri". I blow there.

The managers and crew leader is ok but I have to say this, the females are the most efficient. They will do everything fast and very garang especially the Chinese. They guy's all steady wan. They came up with a code "take ur time as long as it is right order" which I like it a lot. LOL

That my current life so far. Later I'll be working 8hr shift today. Haih. Leg muscle training again. =(

Why pilot

I just don't know why I wanted to blog about this today but I shall make good use of this post to continue burning my desire to fly. =D

Honestly speaking, I start to love planes when I'm seven. It started when i went to the Bayan Lepas International Airport (today:Penang International Airport) to pick up my uncle from Singapore. Each time I go there, I will go to the second floor where there is a big glass covered for you to see the whole runway and planes parking at their respective terminals. I somehow syeok see the planes taking off and landing *somehow*

When I was eight, it was my first time to step on a plane. I'm actually flying to Johor Bahru (Senai Airport) instead of a direct flight to Singapore. I sat on a MAS Boeing 737 (air asia belum lahir lagi kua). The most interesting part of the flight is the taking off and when the plane is turning. Got the nice feeling when it turns. When the plane lands, almost half the plane passengers clap. The eight year old kid was also asked to clap but he ask his grandmother why must clap? The boy was answered that each time the person who lands the plane, he must make good decision and calculation to land smoothly. Still puzzled, isn't this their job??? That question went unanswered.

The experience above only make me love planes but not the occupation. At the age of eight, I did not know that a person that flies the plane is called a pilot. =.=

Now why I wanted to be a pilot?

One of the reasons is that I like traveling. I like to travel to new places and I believe the whole world can never be finish explore till the your last breath. Look at the pictures below:

London

South Korea (Autumn)

Tokyo

How nice can it be when your job allows you to go round the world exploring, meeting new people, witnessing different cultures and seeing new architectures such as:

Not sure where this is

That's just the beauty of the land. When up in the sky it can also be a beautiful place. BUT it can also be a nightmare. Look at the bright side. =D

Where can you get such a view from the land?

OR

Rainbow view from the sky

Well, that's just the side interest. The main interest of me to be a pilot is because like I said earlier I love planes and I want to sit in the cockpit and fly people around =)

Very tempting

Even more tempting

The other reason is the non-fixed working schedule. Its like my current life, sometimes can sleep till damn late, sometimes have to wake up early, sometimes have to stay overnight. Syeok right. At least they wont wake you up in the middle of my sleep to fly. If they do, I will crash the plane into the airline HQ. LOL joking only.

Lastly is the stupidest reason on earth. I wanted the job because I like the uniform. =.=" And also get to enter restricted areas that ordinary people cannot enter. Hah

The video below is about a pilot's life. The song must hear 10x only sound nice.



Well that's all for now. I can only hope and I hope I really have the passion for it. There's a saying:
"you may like but it does not mean you may love"
