06:40:00 AmandaHK is now known as Qubic

06:40:00 <Qubic> met up with my fren for drinks.....
06:40:00 <Glenn> Oh.... :))
06:40:00 <Glenn> ...b/f type fren?
06:41:00 <Qubic> no no
06:41:00 <Qubic> normal male friend
06:41:00 * Qubic got no bf
06:41:00 <Qubic> :<
06:42:00 <Glenn> Oh... no b/f.. OK... :)))
06:42:00 <Qubic> this friend of mine is a pilot ok :>
06:43:00 <Glenn> International?
06:43:00 <Qubic> yes
06:43:00 <Qubic> for dragon Air
06:43:00 <Glenn> Wow... no chance of a free flight with him then...?
06:43:00 <Qubic> ahhahaha
06:43:00 <Qubic> i hope i can hv a chance
06:43:00 <Qubic> ehheeh
06:44:00 <Glenn> I've flown in Dragon Air... did a return trip HK to NanJing... was a good flight!
06:44:00 <Glenn> ...both ways!
06:44:00 <Qubic> kekeke
06:45:00 <Glenn> Went with Qantas between Melbourne to HK... then back 3 months later. Would NEVER go with Qantas again!
06:45:00 <Qubic> he is actually a s'porean.....very new to Hkg
06:45:00 <Qubic> Qantas ......not so good
06:45:00 <Qubic> the cabin crews are rude
06:46:00 <Glenn> You found that too?
06:46:00 <Qubic> dare to ask me to look for empty over head locker by myself
06:46:00 <Glenn> I found the seats were too close together... had my knees jammed up against the seat in front of me...
06:47:00 <Qubic> ehhe
06:47:00 <Qubic> but the food.....not bad
06:48:00 <Qubic> the movie also not bad
06:48:00 <Glenn> ...and on the trip over, twice (2 times!) I had to whistle the cabin staff to come and collect the empty trays... 'cos they'd been sitting empty for over half an hour and I couldn't get out of my seat until the trays were gone...
06:48:00 <Qubic> ya lah....
06:48:00 <Qubic> dat's one of the bad point also
06:48:00 <Glenn> The trip back wasn't too bad... 'cept for the cramped seating...
06:48:00 <Qubic> quite lazy actually...the crews
06:49:00 <Qubic> i've to walk to the galley by myself to ask for drinnks...
06:49:00 <Qubic> hah
06:49:00 <Qubic> but the airfare is cheap
06:49:00 <Qubic> so it's alrite
06:49:00 <Glenn> The aoroplanes were (at the time) new 767's... prefer the older 747's... much more room.
06:50:00 <Glenn> ....er, Qantas = cheap ? ? ? They remain the most expensive airline here in Australia!
06:50:00 <Qubic> so next time fly CX
06:50:00 <Qubic> eheh
06:50:00 <Qubic> in HK......QF fare is quite cheap
06:51:00 <Qubic> almost the cheapest ......last time i took QF for a trip to S'pore from HK
06:51:00 <Glenn> I've flown Cathay Pacific, China Eastern, Air China and Phillipine Airways... Cathay Pacific is the same price as Qantas... but the others are cheap! :))
06:52:00 <Qubic> China EASten huh....their cabin stink!
06:52:00 <Glenn> ....nah... things like that just add character to the aeroplane!
06:52:00 <Qubic> hey my company is the handling agent of China Easten , Air China and Philipine AIr
06:53:00 <Glenn> Oh really!
06:53:00 <Qubic> so maybe u'll have the chance to see me at the boarding gate
06:54:00 <Qubic> hehe
06:54:00 <Glenn> Last trip back to Australia on Air China, there were no English language immigration cards... and the cabin staff could barely manage ehnoufg English between them to say "G`gay!" ....
06:54:00 <Qubic> we handle Emirates , Airfrance , Lufthansa , Gulf , SriLanka,Philipine Air and all the China Aviation Group's flt
06:54:00 <Glenn> ...sheesh... typos!
06:55:00 <Qubic> erh......most of them can't read and spk english
06:55:00 <Qubic> those china cabin crews lah....
06:55:00 <Qubic> the purser don't even know how to read telex
06:56:00 <Glenn> It was a 747... an old one... strange noises every now and then under the floor... creaking overhead lockers... but a great flight!
06:57:00 <Qubic> u ever travelling on S'pore air?
06:57:00 <Glenn> Yeah... found that if I wanted anything... could only ask in Chinese... much to the amusement of other nearby passengers... ALL Chinese...
06:57:00 <Glenn> No... not yet. Hope to go to Singapore one day...
06:57:00 <Qubic> u can spk chinese meh...
06:57:00 <Qubic> ehhe

06:57:00 <Qubic> LOL
06:57:00 <Glenn> ...a little... badly... with broad Australian accent... which only makes my bad Chinese worse...
