CREW LIFE: Amsterdam flight - my first visit.

Dearest all -
I'm sure ade antara my blog readers yang dah pernah ke Amsterdam, kan kan kan? Kalau ade - dudok diam diam! Jgn mencelah. Nih mek yang nak menulis. Ini blog untuk mereka2 yang belum pernah jejakkan kaki ke Netherlands; Wanna know how mek rase first time mek sampai sana? Lets - read lah!

This time, the entry is about the first time I jejakkan kaki ke Amsterdam, Netherlands - sebagai crew MAS. Memang meriah -memang happening. Baca lah. Erm, maaf2kan lah hem nah kalau ade some yang kurang jelas or tepat - mek pun dah ingat2 lupa dah u ols. But this is roughly what happened on that trip...

I can't remember the exact date mek pergi buat flight AMS itiew. But roughly it was early 2003. But I clearly remembered my set - dari Inflight supervisor, ke 2 chief stewards, 2 leading stewardesses and 1 leading steward, to 11 other normal crew- SEMUE HAPPENNING!!!!!!!!!

It was a 4 days flight, example depart KUL Sunday night, arrival Monday morning in AMS, Tuesday OFF, Wenesday balik. So the flight was ok. We operated the mega-jumbo B747-400 - we departed close to midnight ex-KUL, sampai AMS morning, around 5.30am something (AMS-time). I remembered waktu itiew masuk sejuk tatkala baru nak say goodbye to winter, so masih sejuk lah kan. GMTnye was +0100; us in KL +0800- so technically kite ahead of then 7hours gitu lah.

As we arrived at Schipol International Airport - mek dah feeling ok! Why? Sbb yer lah - first time nih mek sampai Netherlands! SUKE sundel! I did my homework - amik tau mana mau pigi la itiew la ini lah, very teruja one! Eheheh. Lagikpun mek feeling sbb dah tamat penderitaan flight 13 jam sundel! Dinch tahan ok. I remembered that flight, mek tak amik pun rest period. Meaning to say I berjaga sepanjang penerbangan. Sial kan?

So keluar dari terminal, suke nyeh!!! Macam , peghak nih! *Peghak is bahasa utara for bengong tak tahu pe pe!*... So cut cut lalu kat immigrations, and customs check - amik bags and what not - usunglahhh bawak ke depan airport itiew, naik crew bus. Waktu the bus driver sebok nak masukkan beg2 crew ke dalam bus, mek sempat borak2 dengan senior2 crew adik2 yang ade dlm flight mek. Diaorang very the baik2 onez... semue ready nak take me out. Mek pun ala ala bawak Euro$ sikit punye banyak - nak joli dikota maksiat itiew! Ehehe.

So naik lah bus itiew - DINCH SAMPAI 10 minit sudah sampai hotel itiew!!! Aiyoh! I remembered Frankfurt, London, Rome, hotels sikit punye naalarengke punye jauh! Alih2 mai ke Amsterdam, aiyoh, dekatnye???

Radisson SAS Hotel, Amsterdam Airport - NAMA PUN DAH AIRPORT HOTEL - ngong lahhhh mek! Ehehehe. Hotel was nice, memang simple yet cantik sundel! Memang melerts.
Ok so lepas dah dapat kunci bilik masing2 (yes, each crew is entitled for a room, curlast kan? No more sharing is caring u olss....) - no lepas dapat kunci we didn't masuk bilik just yet. Put our begs one side... semue berpusu-pusu ke coffee house, FREE BREAKFAST!!! Some stations *stations for us meaning the port we nighstop lah*, the hotels dinch kedeks u ols - give complimentary breakfast service - ade yang just cekai one day jer kasik, ade yang macam AMS nih kasik dua days ok! Meriah! So makan makan makan - another set of 18 crew pun baru turun dari bilik, dah ready nak depart, taking our aircraft back to KUL. Salam2, intro sana intro sini, dan selepas perutku sudah mau meletop, terus lah masuk biliks u ols. Masuk2 jer bilik, mek tercengang sekejaps... melerts u ols! I remembered my room was facing the airport. No wonder la naik bus tak sampai 10 minutes, dah sampai. Rupernye dekat bebenor... Ehehehe...

Lepas tu - rendam uniform (oh yes, me berkira bab bab laundry. Mek sanggup basuh sendirs u ols dari kasiklaundry cik-hal itiewww) had my shower - pastu, unpacked. For a 2 days in AMS flight, u ols patut tgk my check-in bag. Haiyoh! Penuh ok. Ape tak der. Mek punye bekalan bahan mentah jer dah belambak - yes we cook at times kat hotel to save money, leh guna duit tu gi jalan2. Bab makan nih me bawak beras satu tupperware, some lauk2 yang dah dibekukan, just perlu dipanaskan, some instant packed foods like Brahims, cooker mek yang mek belik kat Fukuoka itiew... my portable CD player la, my itu la ini la... memang beg mek paling berat ok. Tu belum buat Paris 6days 5nights lagik - menangeesss teteques mak! So lepas dah unpacked, tetiber, biase la. Dengan tak tidur, semue, penat la pulak. So mek tidur kejap. By lunch hour, crew adik2 lain sudah mula calling calling u ols... Ehehehe. So set lah time semue, nakjumpe kat lobby - mek siap, pakai ala ala smart casual - mek suke time2 crew dulu memang bergaya habis u ols.. suke suke... so mek pun lepas tu turun lah ke lobby, joined another 2 crew (also adik2 u ols tapi seniors lah). So kitaorang naik shuttle bus yang the hotel provided tu, ke Schipol. Sampai Schipol, naik lah train, nak ke Centraal. Bayar I think EURO$5 one way... return dah RM40 heng! Kezi kan?

Mek tanye lah crew seniors itiew - jauh tak nak ke sana, I mean the Centraal. "Ala noq, kejap jer... kejap jer kite akan sampai ke syurga peponen kaver! Ehehehe" Mek pun ala ala seronoks jugak lah. Ever heard of the phrase "Blind leading the blind"?? Ha - dua mangkok hayun nih la buta nak mampos. Trains banyak tau yang kat Schipol tu - banyak destinations also. And most of them dalam bahasa Dutch lah kan. So this two jerks adik2 cakap propah besar nih selalu ke AMS la itu la ini lah - TRAIN DEPAN MATA boleh tak nampak and getek gi tunggu train lain. Bile tanye kat the ticket person, "DIDN'T YOU NOTICE ZER TGHAIN WAZ IN FRONTZ OF YOUZ JUZ NOWZ? - UVE MIZZED IT - ZER NEXT TGHAIN WULD BE ARRIVING IN ANOTHER 1/2HOUR" Nyeh! MEK SENTAP TIME TU OK! Very the mek sentap 5 batang hokok mek habiskan! VERY der tau! Time tu ala ala laser light2 manje je la. Kalau dah kenal lama, sah2 aku maki hamun jer kat situ - PS - leh memondankan diri lagik itiew.

So train sampai - naik lah kitaorang. Mek baca satu risalah "Centraal is a very busy train station literally minutes from Schipol Airport" - NYEH! SENTAP yang kedua!~! Schipol ke Centraal, 48minutes sundel!!!! Baik KLIA ke KL lagi dekat, 28 menet jer! SENTAP TAK!?!?! Air mek dah kat kepala - lagik 48 menet!?!?!? SENTAP!!!!

Sampai jer kat Centraal - mek dah gabra. Banyak sunggoh manusia sundel. Lepas itu everyone was busy jalan laju2. Pening mek. I though JPN people jer jalan laju2. So we walked lah from the station - jalan erm, tak sampai 5 minit, dah - you're at the main roads of Amsterdam Centraal! Mek suke nyeh - macam2 ade, mostly souvenir shops la along city center, Kalverstraat, Damrak, Leidsestraat, and near the Noorderkerk.

Nyeh - memang heavens ok nak shopping...I mean you can actually jalan2 kat Nieuwedijk-Kalverstraat for example, about 1 km FULL of shops ok!. Whats menarik about Kalverstraat is that its a pedestrian area, so dinch traffic u ols, EXCEPT manusia - and yes, MEN! Heheh dari abang2 ke anak2 ikanz! MELERTS!!! Selain souvenirs, bende2 lain leh jumpe, baju, sportswear, music etc. Ke depan sikit, sampai lah Dam Square - cam, damn u gittu..ekeke. Nothing much mek tgk around sitiew u ols - Royal place - tah mek pun dinch masuk, and Madame Tussaud's, pun mek dinch masuk sbb dah masuk yang kat London dah berjuta kali! Ehehehe.

Tak jauh dari area area itiew, si setan pelesit dua ekoq senior crew mek sudah bawak mek ke RED LIGHT DISTRICT u ols!!! Very the kedai kedai sex, porno stuffs - terbeliak bijik kelentits mek - mula la menggeletis - TAPI CIK HAL! I prefer Australian port lagi! Tapi mek survey2 tgk2 lah jugak. Lagikpun my seniors brought me to this place where you can actual see what's happening dlm one sex parlor itiew... kezi lah! Straight most of them tapi dimanakah itiew gaysss punye spots???

Its a bit jauh lah dari Centraal itiew. Siap kiteorang naik Tram lagik tau. Meriah driver itiew. Ehehehe. So anyways - erm, lets not go into details about that la nah? Bukannye penting pun bab bab mak masuk sauna gay, bab bab mak melacch selama 5 jam dalam sauna itiew... erm, dan ceritanye bersambung pada hari berikutnye dimana MAK BERANI KELUAR SENDIRIAN ITIEW!!!!! Ehehehe. Tapi pun I went out kejap on the second day, dinch ke sauna itiew dah u ols. Mek gi , erm, red district zone itiew balik - beli poppers... ehehehe.. ADE ORANG PESAN LAH! Hish!

Haiyoh -panjang sundel - perlu ke ade sambungan? Itu jer kot. Mek citer light2 sugi jer la. Nak in detail, kang jadik XXX pulak? COMMENTS PLS - kot2 ade idea cam mana mek nak buat entry macam nih - banyak lagik flights mek yang belum mek citer. Paris - London - Dubai - Sydney - cerits pengalaman banyak tapi banyak berkisarkan XXX - nanti korang kata mek pondan durjana alam setiap stop buat maksiat - mek dinch mau kena tuduhan sebegitiew rupa. So help me by telling me what you guys want - cam mana mak nak citer/ tulis experiences mek... kalau macam ini punye entry, actually panjang lagik - Mek baru habis hari pertama u ols.
