I WILL FLUSH YOU DOWN.

Today's post I will be blogging about something considered a little taboo in some cultures, and that is THE TOILET.

Specifically, the AIRCRAFT TOILETS. (Yeah, what did you expect, I'm gonna blog about how nice the toilets in Tampines Mall are?!)

The aircraft lavatory is a very unique feature of the plane.



And after 18 months of flying, I want to dedicate a blog post talking about aircraft lavatories because you will be amazed at how many passengers I come across everyday, from first-time fliers to frequent fliers, and they do not know how to even open a toilet door.

Yes, I kid you not. You would think a simple task like opening the toilet door would be chicken and duck feet combined, but NOOOOO.

Come fly with me one day and sit beside the toilet and just watch in amazement at how many passengers would just stand there and work out how in the world does this damm door open!

And this is definitely a concern because if a passenger doesn't even know how to open a toilet door, how can I depend on him to operate an emergency exit should there be an evacuation?! (FYI - most emergency exits on a plane are passenger-operated, which means prior to take-off they need to be briefed by cabin crew on how to open the aircraft emergency exit)

But fret not, because for the very first (and hopefully last) time in the history of commercial flying, yours truly will give you a full instructional post on how to open a toilet door!

You will never get this anywhere else except on my blog, so dear readers, you are in for a special treat today!

I will give you a step-by-step guide on how to open the door and teach you all the tricks of the trade that will assist you in making your next flight more comfortable! And everytime before you fly off for your holiday, just re-visit my blog and go through the toilet-opening procedures and you'll be on your way!

So grab your pen and notepad, and listen carefully! Here we go!

STEP ONE - PUSH.

Ta da! So simple! Opening the toilet door isn't rocket science after all right?

Next week we will go onto something even more complex - LOCKING THE TOILET DOOR.

Hey everyone! I know it's been a whole month! Feels good to be back here again!

Well it's been a crazy September for me as a whole. Had a whole month of ground training + flying so I was in Melbourne for a week, followed by 9 days in Perth, then I had 5 days off in Singapore but decided to fly to Bangkok with my family for a short getaway and then it was another 10 days in Cairns/Japan. WHEW. You know how I go about flying and stay in different hotels? Well you can add Simpang Bedok to that list cos home was literally a hotel for me too!

Having said that, things haven't been exactly very pleasant at work too. A whole load of expectations and changes went very pear-shaped abruptly and I've been in a whole state of confusion and disappointments. I don't really wanna elaborate what happened in detail here on my blog but for those of you who knew, please continue to give me the best support you can because it has been extremely difficult. For those who don't, well October should be a much relaxed month in terms of flying so don't hesitate to call me out for a coffee and I'll share everything with you.

Anyway, I don't really know where to start from this entry but here's my Perth experience at fremantle whale watching!

Took the 30 min train ride from the city at 9am in the morning!















And all on board to find Free Willy!









So close, we almost touched them!











































Fish and chips for lunch!







Back to the city and since we were so bored, decided to do a caricature!



BUT THIS DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE ME LAH. WHAT SORT OF YONG TAU FOO HAIR IS THAT. EPIC FAIL.



But I tell you what's good.. More food!

Jesters Pie!





San Churros!





And this has to be the best apple strudel in the whole world from Corica!
