See you next year punks!

As 2008 comes to a close, I can only look back and just say WOWIWO at what I’ve been through. It has been an amazing year so far, and I really hope it carries on like so until the end of the next one. From the scums I used to work for at the Westin [...]

While the rest of the world celebrates…

… The whole of the UAE will come to a stand still for this New Years Eve as President HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has announced that all celebrations would be cancelled (or postponed) in support and solidarity for the Gaza drama. This means all hotel and venues will have to cancel their [...]

FACEcard holders, this is for you !

We know all cabin crew are hungry for anything free ! Every little penny counts for those Louboutin shoes you have your eyes on in New York, that Jimmy Cheap handbag you nearly got off a stall at a street corner over in Bangkok (but your haggling skills were still developing) or even that REAL [...]

Where I’ll be jettin’ in January…

It came as a surprise as I selected Jan 2009 from the dropdown menu on our portal for next months roster. Why so early ??? Is it because it’s Christmas ?? But my smile gradually reduced as I clicked through the duties for the entire month. I like variety and new destinations on my rosters, [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #69 / Timid Tiger covers Womanizer

Tomorrow I’ll be heading out to Athens for a quick re-fuel and then we’ll head back to the Sandpit before midnight hopefully. So to fill in I have this great set of covers and one remix I wanted to share. The flight isn’t full. At all. My Christmas was pretty much uneventful as I did [...]

A milli in here, a milli in there…

From all of us here at Airboy (that would only be me) we’d like to wish you all the merriest of Christmas, plenty of chocolate, some juicy turkey and flammed pudding. We’d also like to take this opportunity to express our wishes for the coming year. So Happy New Year 2009 ! And as a [...]

Airboy does Beijing, China !

I was looking forward to this trip over the Himalayas, K2 and other peaks. I was also prepared. I just bought a new camera especially for it. A few pictures at ZINC on my days off and I was fully qualified to operate this little new machine and its wonders. The flight over was very [...]

Airboy’s search of the Holy Club

With my unmistakable sense on culinary experiences and discoveries, I have decided to go on a quest. A quest that takes me around the world, in many places, in many hotels. Hotels are culinary sanctuaries (well quite a few of them) for someone like me. I usually satisfy myself with a cheeseburger, some soda and [...]

TOP 5 Albums of 2008 as per ME

It’s that time of year when every single magazine and print goes list-crazy. Not one misses out on the trend. So does Airboy. But we kept it minimalistic and only thought a TOP 5 would do. As you know, we’re uber-lazy here. So we’ve trimmed down our favourite of the year. Based on my last [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #68 / Got the swagger of a champion

It didn’t take long before someone covered Britney Spears’ “Womanizer”. And no other than trash-talking-rich-ass-chavette Lily Allen took to the recording booth backed by producer Extraordinaire Mark Ronson to have this out before anyone else. And by the sound of it, they’ve probably hit something here. To the point where Lily is having problems with [...]

Airboy does Columbo, Sri Lanka

Hey, it’s been a while since I’ve had a good layover. After my last stint in Shanghai, my hopes were down a notch. But with an easy as pie flight over to Columbo, Sri Lanka, I was ready for some adventures. Add to that the extensive rest I had before. I was all pumped up [...]

Health Update & Cairo Turnaround

Quick note on my health, I’m cleared of sinuses, nose block and throat ache ! Weeeeeeeehoooooooo. Thanks to some pills and some nose squirting device I have fully recovered. Khalas. I can now fly without any pain.

Yesterday was my second Cairo turnaround. Nothing too exciting following my first trip there. But I actually enjoyed myself. [...]

Glamorous Emirates Crew…. as per the Wall Street Journal…

It feels weird seeing the places I see everyday featured in the WSJ ! Wall Street Journal for you fellas ! People I even went out with are pictured (namely Lea) ! Please read on and make an opinion for yourself (leave comments). I’ve included pictures from the article. As for the weight SOP, I’m [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #67 / Lykke Li & Mrs Jackson under an Umbrella

My baby don’t mess around – Because she loves me so – And this I know for shooo.. [clap] [clap] [clap] … YES!, we’ve all done it, plenty of times. The [clap] [clap] [clap] towards the side with friends doing the same thing behind you, we’ve all been there. Those were the days… Days without [...]

The American Boy takes the Pink Poodle for a walk in Munich…

I was meant to post this earlier and was overtaken by the Pink Poodle and her amazing post over at The Pink Poodle on the Runway. We only met once, when I was dropping my brother at DXB airport for him to hoover off to Brisbane for his not-so-backpacking-kind of year out (in fact he’s [...]
