Teaser #2

Did you know that you can view the interior of the largest passenger aircraft in the world by last year's best airline worldwide on Google Street View?

Have a virtual tour of the upper deck of the Emirates A380 here! You will begin your tour at the Onboard Lounge at the back end of the aircraft. If you go all the way to the front of the plane (into the First Class section), look for the Shower Spas and see if you can spot the camera :)

I found my long haul seat! *gets excited*

This is a teaser to Part 1.3 of my Big Adventure. 35 more days to the big reveal ^_^

Teaser #1

Hello everybody.

It's been an extremely long time. The blog went into hiatus because there was nothing exciting worthy of documenting. Life fell into a rut: work-eat-sleep. Work is interesting but who wants to write about work when one has to write a lot at work? Also there's this risk of accidental breach of confidentiality.

But now, the blog will be revived for an exciting, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity which I've come to call "Li Ying's Big Adventure".

Next month I will be off from work for two weeks on my Big Adventure - Big City, Big Apple, Biggest passenger airline in the world! 

And I want to document everything here.

36 days till excitement ensues.

Stay tuned!

Hello

It's been eons and epochs.

But a *teaser* will be coming up and I thought I'll revive this blog again.

Just a note: the banner at the top of this blog is rather inaccurate as the revival won't be about any adventures on either side of the SCS. In fact it is obsolete but it has a nice background of Mount Kinabalu - which I most probably have lost the original photo, so there it shall remain.

Before the excitement of any teaser, I would like to ramble a bit. Take it as a...warm up to writing again.

A random thought: One of the most difficult question I find to answer is "What do you do exactly?" when asked about my job.

I've been at it for almost three years, and there are times I love it, and there are times when I just want to crawl into a cave and not wake up early to go to work. But that's normal. I think anyone who constantly rave about how much they love their job is not being completely honest.

Back to the earlier question. How do you explain to people what you do when for the most of it, people are not even aware that what you do exist?

"I model and analyse effluent loads in a river to estimate the pollution impact of a project."

"I carry out studies to draft policies and guidelines."

"I help draft management plans of protected areas."

However, I think people in general have this built-in need to not feel dumb, so they don't question much when they are bombarded with things they don't really understand. Big, important sounding words usually stop them from asking further. Then they leave me alone.

Complicated as it might be, imagine being an SAP analyst in an MNC.

"So...what do you do?"

"Erm...I work in the toothpaste factory. You know, computers."

A jibe to AJ who is far away *evil grin*

Stay tuned for the real teaser!
