| 365 days ago, at around 1930, i was walking from Tung Chung MTR station to the S1 bus terminal, with my soft bag ... at that time, i'd never thought of what would happen 6 hrs later ... and on that day, i was having a Dhaka turnaround flight and the scheduled arrival time of the return sector was 0715L+1 ... that day, we were using A330 aircraft B-HYB (well, sometimes, we call that aircraft Baby ... and for B-HYA - Mr. A ... Baby is the 2nd oldest A330 in Dragonair)
When we arrived our destination Dhaka (DAC), after finished all the ground preparation, we were waiting from CP's PA for security check, we waited and waited, still no PA ... (at this time, cos i hd nth to do, i took out my mobile and turned it on, see whether i could make a call in Dhaka ... and i found out i could ... other crew also took out their mobile and check ...)later on, our Captain (forget his name, but some crew like to call him 四哥 ... though he's a Gualo) walked to EY with his head down and said: sth wrong with the computer inside cockpit and we might need to stay overnight ...
what?! Dhaka overnight with my soft bag?? i didn't bring any clothes for change, just hv sample make-up, contact lens solution(and i even didn't hv con case)
We were shocked but still, we could do nth ... that's why on 1 July 2004, i was hving afternoon tea at the poolside of a 5-star hotel in Dhaka ...
That flight was not on my roster, but as my FA1 didn't return my home return permit to me on 31 May (that's Rosita ... she's a nice CP), i needed to make a new one, which took 1-month time, during the whole month ofJune, i couldn't hv China flight and so rostering dept. changed my roster to all BKK, TPE, KHH and 2DAC ... |
