Melbourne

Never in my life have i been a fan of Melbourne, it is grey, cold and rather depressing. But this trip has given me a new frame of mind, as i enjoyed it more than ever before! Truthfully i was hanging to touch down in Oz after the last few weeks, so any destination was satisfying. Got to the hotel room, had 4hrs sleep, brilliant in the life of a flight attendant whilst away. Woke up and headed straight to Bridge Road for a wonder and a delicious organic breaky and organic coffee! Yummo!

I was really struggling with the cold early in the morning, esp after all the heat in Dubai, but it did make me realize i am not ready to come back home as i cant deal with freezing anymore! I think i am going to have to be a free spirit whom follows the sun! But then by afternoon, i couldn’t believe it, the temperature really changed. Blue sky’s and warmth??? Pinching myself and asking, ‘am i in Melbourne?’

After that we headed into the city for a day of shopping and walking around, saw a few sights. It was so exciting to see stores i knew 'too well' once again! You would all be proud that my outfit that day inspired the crew. I had on the Ugg’s, strutting around Melbourne, so we went on a hunt so they all could buy them! he he. I did my job for our image that day!

But can i just say...... How dope is some of the graffiti in Melbourne!!! Whoop Whoop!!! I don’t care what they say, there is always a time and a place for street art!

Favourite Event:

Definitely just touching down back in Oz. Easy pleased here. But downing a chunky steak and mushroom pie in record time, as if it was my last meal or that the world depended on it, was pretty damn good!

Favourite Purchase:

Hmmm, tough one.... I ordered a gorgeous print of the ocean to be sent back to my home in Dubai for my bedroom! White sand and bright blue water, turn my bedroom in this crazy city into my little sanctuary. Then again, i also bought 5 badges that are terribly funky and very, very 80’s! Now that is real Porn!!!

Singapore

Every 7 months it is a requirement that we complete 35 days on Reserve/Standby, where we are given any shifts several days prior, or worse with a minimum of 45mins notice. And yes my first night of reserve was driving me clinically insane, just waiting for that dreaded phone call..... And to my surprise!!! Woo Hoo, it got a decent trip! Singapore to Melbourne back to Singapore and home to Dubai. Gotta love these long trips on Reserve, more out and about, and less waiting around! Plus just touching home soil once in a while is priceless.

Singapore is the cleanest city in the world, you could quite happily lie in the gutter eating ur dinner straight of the pavement, without catching anything! Depends if that is ur thing or not i spoze???

It was bliss being surrounded by such luscious greens everywhere that u looked. The crew and i went to the most hilarious bar in Clarke Quay called ‘The Clinic.’ The bar was inside with massive surgical lights hanging over it, and all the seating was outside. Not just any seating mind u, the chairs were actually wheel chairs, we drank cocktails from an I.V. drip on the stand and shots came in massive syringes! It was all class!!! So with all this fun, u can imagine the rest of the story, so lets just leave that there.... Later on in the night we ended up at a Salsa Bar..... Fun Times!!!

One morning we headed out to Sentosa Island, just off Singapore by Cable Car. Looking over the harbour and Singapore from a bird’s eye view was amazing! When we got to the Island we were taken on a tour which involved 3D and 4D Cineblast movies, An Aquarium, a Skyride and Luge carts (which could have been much faster, but admittedly i am a chick, and we are never satisfied! he he) and a show at Dolphin Lagoon, where the beautiful stars were pink dolphins.

Favourite Event:

Playing with two beautiful snakes on Sentosa Island! After taking many photos with them, yes later in the afternoon i had to go back to play with them again. They were gorgeous.

Favourite Purchase:

Pair of hideous children’s glasses where the lends is clear plastic and the sunglasses part flips down at the sides when needed, and they are in the shape of fish in bright purple, hot pink and fluoro green! Very Porn!!!
