If I fly Tiger Airways, yup, I save about $500... BUT, I have to :
- travel 2 hours by road or more by train to Geelong, cause that's where some of the budget airlines fly from... not sure but Tiger Airways might fly from the Melbourne Airport...;
- transfer in Darwin; and
- a flight which would otherwise take only 7 hours will end up taking 10.5 hours!!!
Erm... thanks, but no thanks!
Tiger Airways does serve Melbourne Airport
JetStar going to start Melbourne - Darwin - Singapore route also

Thankfully, we don't have those!
We just have announcements going, "Code Red!" followed by the location. Yesterday, there was a Code Gray (Threat to Staff) when a patient turned aggressive in my ward. Luckily, my hero, the handsome Aussie male nurse was around and he diffused the tense situation somewhat. What a hero!!!
So handsome, so tall, so fit, so well-built... Siiiiigh... He even has a really super-duuper seXXXy family name too! Lawless!! Siiiigh... -

Eh... good old days? Actually, not too long ago, on a flight from Baltimore to New York City. I HAD to go through all that. Worse, the plane was one of them with four exposed windmill-like thingies on the wings... don't know what model, but I remember thinking, is this for real?!
The best bit was when we flew into the airport. I think I chose La Guardia because someone told me the view when you fly in is much better. True enough, whoooaaaaaa...!!! Saw the Statue of Liberty on one side, and then the famous New York Skyline!!
Think next time, hopefully I have a husband or partner or whatever you call them, one of us snap photos with the digicam, the other use a videocam to film the entire thing!
For the sake of good photography, we sacrifice sitting together side-by-side cause both must have access to the windows!
uhh.. the "windmill-like thingies"? people call them propellers...

to the windows! Um... those "windmill-like thingies" are actually called propellers. They spin really fast when the aeroplane is flying. Just thought you'd like to know....
Oh, and you probably flew on a Dash 7:
Notice how it's got four of those "windmill-like thingies" spinning real fast to make it fly?

Back to my Photoshop-less, GIMP-less 2D work, have a good day and see you all soon.

Siiiigh...So how many shots did Mr. Hunk Lawless fire from his gun to subdue the patient?
-
hmm.. the Dash 7 has 2 cockpits?
and i've always wondered about that cable from the body to the tail.. in the past, a few WW2 fighter planes also had them..
few people in the office now.. most have gone to the silly "Service Excellence Day" thing in the auditorium.. i siam the thing coz i'd be laughing hysterically there... i'd rather stay in the office here and listen to the soundtrack of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

yeah... It looked like that... and I remember thinking to myself as I looked out of the window at the propellers, what if one of them spun out of control and just like in the cartoons, spun out out and away!
I wasn't exactly at ease the whole flight. Thank goodness it was a pretty short one!
-
Actually I'm wondering
Does the 737 still use propellor?

somehow i hear the patient screaming in panic:Don't tase me bro!!

He didn't even need to use violence or any physical force. Sigh... that Mr Lawless has got this knack of calming people down just by his presence alone... although he tends to send my blood pressure shooting sky-high!

Oops! I didn't notice the observation bubble in that Canadian Dash 7.
Good catch!On older aircraft, the wire that runs from the front of the fuselage to the top of the tail is usually the VHF antenna.
So what kind of brainwashing is done on "Service Excellence Day"?

Lawless Hunk sounds soooo much more sexciting. -

*me mysteriously appears in a puff of smoke*
Well, that Perspex flange that broke last week broke again after I repaired it.
So now the techies are trying to machine a new one for me.... they said that they'd try to get it done before CNY, but right now their manpower is tight and their machines are running virtually non-stop.
So my final experiments will have to wait till after CNY.... sigh....
Oh well.... at least I have just four hours of official lessons per week.
All that overloading of modules in previous semesters is finally paying off.
