So far... I've been ok I guess....?
I learnt quite a few new languages to greet passengers in Polish, Russian, French, Dutch and Portugese. Many passengers are pleasantly happy when i speak to them in their native languages so that makes me happy too i guess.
I've some encounters with fellow TP AMS students at the Airport. Some people I see quite often like Ben Choo, Clive, Sarayutt and Bronson Ng. Some only saw once or twice but still good to see them such as Irsyad, Jason, Daren and Junyi....
Its good to help each other out when we see them too. Such as the case where i had two Portugese passengers who I could not understand through their heavy accent and then they had paper saying they should go where in Portugese which obviously I cant read. Bronson was there to save my day when he stepped in to help. Turns out they two were going to Transfer Counter C. So thanks Bronson! Also we met up after that to explore the Terminal 1 facilities such as the transit hotel blah blah.
Saw Irsyad yesterday.... could only had a short 5 mins chat with him but he need to go off after that.... sighs.
Life also cant be complete without football, of course.
Very much saddened to hear that Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United is going to retire yesterday....
Watched Chelsea FC vs Tottenham Hotspur yesterday where former Chelsea manager Andre Villas Boas goes back to Stamford Bridge. Ended with a 2-2 draw with goals from Oscar after a corner when he turned in a header after another header from Gary Cahill. Spurs equalised through an Emmanuel Adebaayor wonder strike.... before Chelsea took the lead again through Ramires after a fantastic through pass from Fernando Torres. +Spurs then hit back late in hte 80th minute through Gylfi Sigurdsson to make it 2-2.
Also watched the last 30 mins of Real Madrid vs Malaga which ended 6-2. Was 5-2 already when I tuned in. 2 red cards have been shown already to Malaga's Martibn Demichelis and Sergio Sanchez and on form goalkeeper Willy Caballero was taken off in the 42nd minute injured so Malaga was never going to win anyways even though Cristiano missed. Still managed to catch a wonderful goal from Angel Di Maria though in the 90th minute to make it 6-2. The other scorers in the match were Albiol, Cristiano, Ozil, Benzema and Modric for Real and Santa Cruz and Antunes for Malaga.
Ok... going to work later. 2nd last day on ground before heading off to management office next week.... wish me luck and i hope i get a KLM flight!

BORUSSIA DORTMUND TO THE FINAL
Okay been a while since I've posted!
I'm a happy man today... although I have to work on Labour Day...
Because....
BORUSSIA DORTMUND IS IN THE FINAL OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD COME
It was a nervy 2nd leg match though, with Real Madrid winning 2-0, through Benzema and Sergio Ramos goals in the 82nd minute and 88th minute, to make the final 13 minutes inclusive of the 5 minute injury time very tense for me!! in the first 20 mins, Real knocked on our door and we were not settled. Thankfully, we re-organised to hold them while making some attacks on our own. However, our finishing did let us down, also with some great saves from Diego Lopez.
Still, we won the tie 4-3 on aggregate, thanks to our 4-1 aggregate victory a week ago. Robert Lewandowski made headlines with his 4 goal blitz on Madrid ( 8', 50', 55', 67' (pen)). While Cristiano equalised in the 43 minute, our team really turned on in the 2nd half and outclassed our opponents completely.
Anyway, Bayern lead 4-0 against Barcelona in the other tie. They are playing at the Camp Nou tonight, and Bayern would be the more likely opponent in the final. And lo, we are going to play Bayern this weekend already!
This Borussia Dortmund Champions League campaign has been incredible. Though today the defeat against Madrid meant that we lose our unbeaten record in this season's Champions League, its still brings pleasant memories, especially this match:
Borussia Dortmund 3-2 Malaga CF (Lewandowski 40' Reus 90+1', Felipe Santana 90+3' ; Joaquin 25', Eliseu 82')
I experienced all the emotions a football fan goes through in just a game. Joy, sadness, excitement, anger. Woah....
Anyways..... internship have been okay so far... hate the day day night night break break shift schedule. It sucks though. Now i really miss the days at Police Academy, with Mr Teo Chun Ping and Mr Sarjit, Mr Kumar and Mr Panier. And i do miss some of my classmates at the Academy already..... and not to mention my classmates from school....
I still meet some of my classmates from time to time at the Airport and also when i went back to crash the AMS Camp 2013.
Okay... off to work at Terminal 1, Changi Airport later, fresh from the joy of my team reaching the UEFA Champions League Final!
