Off day!

Caught up on my sleep. Amazing how I can sleep for the whole afternoon yesterday, and sleep so soundly till 11 today morning too. Wonders of the human system aye.

Lol yesterday was a a day, as quoted, where "passengers woke up on the wrong side of the bed".

Truly.

First up, London side screwed up again. This passenger bought liquor from London airport, and they failed to put it in a tamper evident bag for him. So, transferring at Singapore, he couldn't bring the bottle on the plane.

It was a 6000 pound liquor. Roughly $12,000 Sing. O.o

He just said, he's never gunna take SQ flight again.

Then, there was this energetic China auntie in her 70s or 80s. She was in a group, but none of the other old men were as energetic as her. My friend was stationed at that Pier, and she specifically read everything from the brochure, all the items to the old lady, asking if she had any of those items. To all, she said no. Ok fine, let her pass. Security check, she had all of them.

The security took the items from her, she started playing tug of war with them. "Mai! Mai! Mai!" and she was tugging and pulling the items away from the security guys. Everyone else were just magically transfixed at the spot watching the commotion.

Every item they took, she wrestled. They took her item, and put it on top of the table, she snatched and put in back in her pack.

Finally, she couldn't win, and held up the whole queue for 10 - 15 mins, she tugged at the security guys' sleeves and told them not to take her stuff from her. LOL.

There was this old Caucasian guy who claimed no one told him of the new LAG measures. Liar. We were stationed all the way from outside to transit area. And Jeri was there what, she did ask every one of the passengers. The security woman was requesting for me to go in and help out - but by the time I went in, they were already exchanging particulars.

The other security woman who was talking to the guy had just given him her particulars (name, department), and she asked for his. He was defensive, and asked why. SHe said "To be fair sir, I need your particulars so I can feedback to my side as well, right?" He hesitated, then snatched the piece of paper from her hand and scribbled so that people could not see what he was writing. Unfortunately, the security could read his handwriting. He left his name and number, and was already going away with his luggage.

"Sir, I need your seat number as well!"

"Why should I give it to you?"

"To be fair sir, I gave you all my particulars, you should give me yours too."

(Quickly pacing away) "I don't feel obliged to give you my seat number."

He thought he was smart, but the security woman just went to the counter and checked his seat number.

All through this, there was nothing I could do, and when I asked so how else I could help, she just stred at me and said "You came so late." What, my fault is it? By the time I came it was already at that stage what. Furthermore, I wasn't the one stationed there. Zz.

I heard at the F Pier there was this incident where a business class traveller just took all his LAGs items and threw them on the floor in a tantrum. Thereafter, he acted like a boss, and kinda commanded my colleague stationed there to follow him to the Transfer counter.

Tch. What the heck!

On a side note, we just found out that the red polo tees working with us were supposed to be spotchecking and monitoring us yellow shirts, and have to write reports on EACH and EVERY one of us everyday. Like attendance, attitude, performance and the such I suppose. Freaky! o.O

That may have shed some light on the 8 chosen of the lot though. Hm.
