Hey hey I'm here to harp about my aspiration again. Haha. I seem to really really like the airport environment alot.

Just spent a night at the airport yesterday. Quite a good experience as I'd witnessed the surrounding's 'transformation' from a bustling atmosphere late at night to a quiet ambience some time after midnight. The airport then comes alive again before dawn break.

I felt so much at ease, enjoying the serenity of the place, with most activities coming to a halt, thus the chilling and peaceful background of the airport can really relax a person to his bones. However, noticing that certain 24-hour cafes have staffs working on their chores, servicing customers who are present during this inactivity period, sends a flush of gladness through me. Without them, travellers who have to stay in the airport for some reasons have a place for coffee and tea, cakes and pastries.

Then I observed some travellers in the departure transit hall taking a rest or catching a wink of sleep in the comfy sofa-seaters. It made me wonder whether why were they here when no flights were functioning at the timing. Of course, that's just a swift thought that crossed my mind. The reasons could include the transition period in between flights and an unforeseen situation with regards to the flight timing. No wonder, the CAAS and SATS have done quite a great job in making the transit areas as comfortable as possible with the many different in-bound facilities to keep them occupied during the momentary stay.

What caught my attention most was seeing the airport staff dressed smartly in their uniforms. Pilots with their 3 or 4 stripes. Gorgeous stewardesses and dashing stewards preparing for their flights. Front-line employees attending to the queue of passengers who are checking in. The 'wow' word just popped out in my head.

Nonetheless, I wonder how can I pave the path towards this all-time dream of mine. =)
