wedding bells, turkish delight, gradrobes and guests coming out of my wahoo!

well today is the day that i become single again after about two and some odd months of guests. I feel somewhat sad about it cuz i love having people around but that's life. my gorgeous sister was here and played cinderella for some weeks while pretending to find a bar job... she is so good to me it's crazy... she and i are so alike yet different it's scary. something i can't explain but when you live so far away from your only sibling, it's easy to forget that there is someone so much like you. I must admit that it broke me to see her leave because after being here for over a month i was so used to her company. we get along like no one else, despite her few annoyances with me and mine with her... she is there for me totally! she stands up for me like no one else... i guess i forget what it's like to have her as a sister cuz we both get so busy sometimes we forget how important our contact is. dad, karen, aunt donna and unkie bob came to the end for me grad and a little fam trip which was absolutely fab! i had such a great time in devon at this house we rented... julia and i went running a lot and generally just chilled out. jules and i also went to CPH for pride where i got too drunk and also got a huge lecture but at least jules looked hot giving it...
Now for the wedding of a life time! turkey! my lovely friend erensah is now a married woman! i can't believe it! my friends are really ageing! ahhhh. tiina a.k.a. mama g (mama gay) came as my date which was hot.. cuz we were :) decked out in formalwear we did it good... ! the wedding was a fairy tale in the coastal hills of the south of turkey at the groom's parents mansion... there was an infinity pool which really made the wow factor for me... it was so cool as the wedding was set up like a club (bedz) with huge cushions for everyone to sit on during the dancing... well anyway it was great. turkey was fab as well. afterwards, all us foreigners went on a cruise for 4 days which was also amazing. it was such a cool opportunity to just chill out, tan and eat! cruise america was quite an experience though as all they others were american investment bankers plus the esto and i... but that was ok... i just never want to hear about another college experience! they all went onto istanbul, somewhere i really need to check out because i had to go back and fly :(
came back to london with good old gill from spain on the visit! she's been good fun but onfortunately i've been working a lot but c'est la vie. i'm going tomorrow to estonia to have laser surgery on my eyes! i will never need glasses again! knock on wood! i hope to be a better muslim in the future... i meant blogger... i've been so back!

BUT i'm now using a photo album online!!

eurovision!

well eurovision time is approaching and i have the songs to listen to now and I am super happy about estonia's entry this year! much better than the whacky suntribe last year... silvia night is of course a big favourite but we will see how it goes thursday...
heading to copenhagen on friday after my last written exam and going to the Dodo and the Dodos concert in Tivoli on Friday! which didn't get me excited until i realised what they sing...
staying with marie which is good cuz my danish needs a bit of a touch up after a while away and an oral exam next week...
saturday is the eurovision party of course...

the joys of my days are consisting of running and practicing for my finnish oral... yippee... ugh.
the schalk was around this weekend receiving my usual critique... i am so mean to him, should probably do something about that... why does he take it?! hmmm. it was nice hanging out... i was hungover from going out with sofia, thøll and sofias work colleague smári... the new icelander in the london village... well to our knowledge at least... had a lot of fun out although i had been at work and that really tired me out...
anthony, my dear homofriend in london and i have our bdays 1 day apart so he's holding a big fest which will be smashing... and it's going to be lots of work people, all the gays from his crowd and my tiny entourage :) and maybe schalk if he's behaving that weekend...
anthony and i usually celebrate our bdays together but this year will be really cool... he's getting all these samples of alcohols cuz he's heading up a new gay bar as ass. manager.. hehe...
i'm apparenlty getting my own bottle of cristal... thank god i don't have to be anywhere the next day...

schalk just got a job near our new house and is trying to move closer to the area the last i heard of it...
we had a bbq with jamie's bar folk and sofia on sunday which was fantabulous, drank a bit of pimms... and had a laugh... although the schalk did mysteriously get himself out of the event claiming that in south africa people bbq all day long so he just thought he would come back a lot later... hmmm interesting... but that's alright, i was hungry so we there wasn't really much left for him after rachel and i got our hands on the skewers...

getting excited about moving! we booked aussie man with van today to move us... she actually asked 'how many aussie men would you like?' I was thinking... is it really that easy, this the right number?

lastly... this insane bhuddist hippie monk wannabe was talking in tongues outside our flat today and it really lifted my spirits... ok not really but i had a laugh...


well i need to return to my eurovision cd and go back to finnish... kirjoitaan huomenna! moi moi.

no thankfully my last exams are in Finnish and Danish... my specialties!
going to koben for eurovision next friday which i am super excited for! staying with marie, kiddi is homeless and very incommunicado, allegedly as i have heard from a his friend in iceland!
so after i move i have 10 days of bliss and then back to koben in june with auntie and friends for 2 days...
and then to barcelona,spain with a special someone and then back to estonia for 10 days for some good old fun with fam and friends for my annual visit during the most important day on the estonian calendar. jaanipäev! just the biggest party ever, not to mention longest day of the year with the sky bright all night long... did i mention that MARIE my favourite dane is coming to ESTONIA for a week! yeah!
so i will be gone from june 10 to 25th on my whirlwind trip around the continent and then return to start training with the airline on June 26th. Already doing a trip on the 27th! they really push it!
i´m going to get a consultation for laser eye surgery cuz i want it done and estonia is the place to do it. my contact days are coming to an end... i am having major issues...

been taking driving lessons and i am giving up due to time limitations on the whole manual biz. going to switch and get my license here in automatic so i can drive and get a car asap. me need for to get to the airport.

and I get to get a new camera because my insurance company can´t fix the other one! so i´m getting the updated sony version of the one i just had, it has this cool stable shot setting... can´t wait to get it on my way to koben next friday!
gotta get my new uniform hehe from the British airways uniform shop... hehe... i am going to giggle a lot... i never really thought of myself in a cabin crew uniform!
well back to studying, have to take another lesson today.. i really think this whole system here sucks... as if driving on the other side of the road is better... and why the hell is manual better! i am perfectly satisfied with 2 pedals! jesus lousie-us.

NEW JOB, NEW FLAT and more pics from venice.





Well i have landed myself a job at 35,000 ft with GB Airways, franchise partner of British Airways meaning that we serve the British Airways Flights to all Mediterranean, North African and Turkish destinations... it's British Airways planes, my uniform is BA, service is BA etc....
www.gbairways.com is the address... So it's a nice small company with a big name which is nice for me because it means that I work with people more often than I would on mainline and that it's easier to move up. The other obvious bonus of being a division of BA is that I get all the benefits of working for British Airways and their benefits :) yippee! meaning unlimited travel on BA and all of the Oneworld alliance! so I am super pumped... they want me to start May 29th but as it may show from my lack of entries, I am in exams right now, with my last exam, Finnish Oral on May 26th, so May 29th is going to be pushing it if I want to move on June 1st to the cool place shown below!

so I am calling next week to see if they have set a training date for a start sometime in June and then it will all be confirmed.... I was invited to an assesssment day last week which lasted all day. Group exercises and assessments are horrible and really gruelling! so after those took place, they called 6 out of 15 to another room, then we had lunch and all got to chill out and then had a 2to1 interview which was fine except for, I was interviewed by two homos which I think liked me thankfully because I think that went really wrong at my virgin interview... they were sooo sweet to me and really made me feel comfortable... I got the call about an hour after I got home which was such a relief!

so that's the story. I am starting lessons tomorrow for driving to adapt to the whacky ways of the Uk as I have to probably start driving to the airport once i start...

So next week i will find out about my training and I am hoping to go to Spain with my friend erensah on the bank holiday at the end of the month for a few days as we would head off the day i finish... so that will be really nice as long as I don't start the 29th. although i think i will go anyways!

going to copenhagen the weekend before which will be good because it is right before my danish oral exam! it's also eurovision and i'm going to svenni's party which will be wikid!

so super excited! until then my life is boring and consists of revision completely! just so happy to have a job for when i finish though! we do night stops in spain and morocco! yah!


at band camp in venice...




this is me and uncle boobs... in venice... with a colleague of his after we ditched the kids and hit the canals! super nice!
