Ok lah, the big race is tonight and I'm so jealous of chua wei ling, lily and whoever else got tickets to watch :/ But anyway, that's not the point of this post.

What is the world coming to!?!?

First, every other major bank in the USA is going to collapse.

Then, we cannot eat ice cream anymore because of tainted milk! :( No more Walls ice cream or Solero...

I'm very sad.. it's like the end of the world to me.. no money or ice cream :(

I am proud to announce!

After a 17 day trip to Indochina, some doses of lactose and Zentel later, I am proud to announce that I am 45kg!!!

To spare everyone the disgusting details, basically function has been restored to my general digestive system, and that has helped me keep my diet and appetite in check, as well as to improve absorption when I eat.

So, I'm happy! :)

A phrase i've heard a lot about lately during my job search is the idea of a "dream job". Some of my friends already have their dream jobs, some came close to getting it but chose an alternative path instead, some don't know what their dream job is, and some know it but have yet to arrive at it.

So, today I shall share what my dream job description is. Basically, at the current moment, it would sound something like this:

The purpose of this position is to help build an airline's future network. You will cover the following aspects of the network planning process, long term planning, scheduling, slot management and disruption management.

Key responsibilities include:
•Preparing business plans for potential new bases in liaison with finance.
•Evaluating and forecasting potential routes.
•Preparing airline's schedule and managing its slot portfolio.
•Support the revenue management department providing revenue analysis through short term flight control, longer-term event planning and strategic inventory amendments.

What's yours?
