1st Week @ Singapore

Wow.. I've been busying for the last few weeks to settle down everything. Too long nvr update my blog.. I think it's the time to recall back wat I had done for the last 3 weeks.. This is the 4th week of my training.. So far everything is still going quite smoothly.. But I spend too much there.. Anyway, all the trainers are very nice and friendly, batchmates are cool and friendly as well.. I think I should recall back wat I had done for the very 1st week 1st..

On 5th of January.. I took flight to Singapore ALONE.. Then, I met another 3 pretty and gorgeous Malaysian babes (who are my housemates now) at the Changi Airport. Four of us were arranged to stay in Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel for 1 week. Within 1 week time, we had to settle down everything with our own accommodations.. Frankly speaking, I think SIA is kinda generous to us.. Come on, tat's a 5 stars hotel! Kinda comfortable and luxury.. So, Here's the photos..

Here's our room.. I shared the hotel room with 1 of my Malaysian batchmates, Julyn. Yeap~ I know it was such a mess...

Different view of the room.. >.<>

Aiks.. before I came to sg, I purposely went to redye my hair. However, the colour of my hair is not accepted by SIA.. So my fren helped me to dye it into darker brown in the hotel room.. We really messed up the whole room.. LOL.. Here's the result...

My housemate, Fion with me.. she's such sweet & lovely girl....

So, we went through the medical checkup on the very 1st day and applied for our employment pass on 2nd day. On the third day, we started looking for rooms available in the areas such Tampines, Simei or Pasir Ris which are very nearby to Changi Airport. At 1st, I really plan to share a room with 1 of the gals coz the room rental in sg is super duper expensive. However, when I think it deeply, I realize that it's not very convenient to share 1 room with a stewardess as once we start flying, our routes and scedules of flying will be completely different.. Honestly, I don't wish to be waken up and interrupted by the room mate in the middle of night who's busy preparing herself to the airport.. Plus, I really need privacy to do my own thing. After all of us had agreed not to share with ppl, we started looking for one whole unit rather than rooms.

In Singapore, it's very difficult to rent a room/unit without a housing agent's help... of coz, we have to pay the agent half a month of the rental as commission to him/her. After having a look for a few units in different places, the 3rd unit that we went was the most ideal choice. It's clean, the owner of the house was taking a very good care of the house although it's kinda old dy... and also it has 4 bedrooms which each of us can take up 1 room.. On top of that, it's very convenient for us to go airport and the SIA training centre within 10 minutes with all the public transportation available.. Although it's kinda far from the city such as Orchard or China Town. However as the Mrt station is nearby the house with just approximately 10 minutes walking distance.. it's actually very easy for us to go to city areas.. So, we had decided to rent that unit with monthly rental of SGD2,100. I'm taking the medium room which the rental is approximately SGD600 including utility and internet + cable tv. Anyway, it's quite comfortable so far, the whole house is very pinky and here's some photos of the 'new home' of mine~

The living Hall... Very pinky rite? But the TV is not that big now.. the owner had changed a smaller one for us.. this LCD they brought it to their new house... :(

Another view of the living room.. It's quite spacious.. don't you think so??

My housemates, Janet & Fion, carrying all our new bolsters and pillows busying posing.. This photo was taken on the nite we moved in.. We were so busy cleaning up the house.. tiring day but with lotsa joy and happiness.

Here's my room.. I bought the chair, laundry bag, standing fan, table lamp and new bed sheet by my own... I'm quite satisfied with the room.. :) It's quite comfortable..

Showing off my new bed sheet and the bear bear given by hubby... :P

★☆ Pre - Christmas Party ★☆

A few days before Christmas Eve, a bunch of my collegemates gathered in Mun Yee's condo for pre- christmas part celebration. The dresscode that day was red and opppss I forgotten to wear red colour clothing. Luckily, they are kind enuff never fund me RM50.. LOL. As usual, we played our favourite game which we mixed all types of liquor in one glass and who ever got the smallest and biggest number of cards would be punished to drink the glass of 'Poison'.

P/s: There is one very important rule in this game which is you are destined to drink even you're not holding the smallest or biggest cards if majority of the players want you to drink it. Lol..

This is how the game is played.. Mun Yee was so happy.. Can you spot what card she's taking?

Second game: Party Lykke Hjul with six shot glasses which was brought by me. Luckily they seemed kinda enjoy the game. >.<

There are two reasons why i post this pic up: 1stly Mei Yee looks so cute in this pic.. love her face expression. 2ndly the fake bread looks so real and it was bought by Eung Xien.

★☆ A New Start ☆★

Heya!! Thanks for visiting this blog.. This is my 1st time creating a blog and the main purpose for me to creating this blog is to record what's will be happening on me after graduated as a degree holder, recording the happiness and sorrow that I will be facing when I start being a working adult. Yeap! I'm proceeding to the next most important stage of my life --- work and have my own career. Stepping into this dangerous & competitive but filled with excitements and challenges new world makes me feel very nervous but excited at the same time.. I know I'm not longer living under my parent's protection, worrying bout exam & assignments or frenship problems but even more. The challenges that I will be facing next are learning to be independent, control my own finacial spending, deal with various & various types of people and many many more..

I think we're graduating in not a very right timing. The worldwide economic crisis does affect us.. I tried to send out many resumes to companies such as Unilever, Public bank, BAT and Loreal. However, It's very sad that non of them replied me. Actually during August, I accompanied one of my close frens to try out the flight stewardess job recruitement held by SIA in KL and I was seriously very very lucky enuff to pass all 4 rounds of interviews. Although i know being a flight stewardess is almost every gal's dream, I still prefer to work in one big company with bright future and provides opportunities for me to slowly climb up. However, since now I'm graduated in such a bad timing and I seriously cannot find a good job in Malaysia, I have decided taking the offer and go Singapore to work. I have strugglling for so many times whether should I accept the SIA offer or not as I'm really not willing to leave my family, boyfriend and all my beloved frens...

Before making up my mind and decision, I did research about this job from internet and even from frens who are working as stewardess or steward now. I had also seeked opinions and ideas from frens and relatives. I can 100% conclude that being a flight stewardess is not really such a glamour job like what outsiders think. There're pro and cons. Yeap.. I can get approximately SGD3500 per month with allowances & incentives which ppl might think is alot. But there are many other expenses that I have to bear myself, for example rental fees. Renting one room in Singapore is much more expensive than in M'sia and the market price now for renting one room is about SGD600 per month sometimes even excluded utility expenses. Oh my god!! How am I gonna survive there? Plus, first 4 months training, I can only get the basic paid which is about thousand plus only. Haha.. Mayb I should think positively, this is a right time for me to learn how to manage my own financial spending wisely. Besides that, I heard the politic issue among the Cabin Crew themselves in airline industry is much more serious than normal companies. Backstabbing around and complicated sexual relationships are very commonly seen and heard. I have no idea coz all these I heard from others. LOL. Plus flying too much, my skin will easier get dry because oxygen in the plane is 20% lesser than ground and again I have to spend alot on skin care products. On top of that, it's so great to travel around and I confirm wanna shop. No point travelling without shopping right? Once again, money is needed. As an conclusion, the paid is really not that much.

You ppl must be very surpriced. Why am I keep thinking all the bad things about being stewardess but yet I still decided to go for it? I can explain! Haha.. Firstly, because I wanna learn to be independent. I know I'm too rely on my parents. By going singapore alone, I'm very sure that I can learn to be independent and become a more mature thinking person. Secondly, I wanna learn to deal with different types of people and train to be more patient. I know politic issue among stewardess is a traditional culture in airline field. Mayb it's a good chance for me to learn how to handle all these. Thirdly, I wanna expand my network and know more frens around the world. I strongly believe that I can learn and experience somethings that I cannot experience from working in a normal company. I do have frens told me that I will be wasting my time and I will start everything all over again if I quit after the 2 years bond contract ended. Well, start over again then start over again. I don't think the 2 years time will be wasted, at least i get paid and can travel around. Right?

Haha.. I better stop thinking so much.. Once decided, there's no turning back. I'm going Singapore in about one week time for 4 months training. I will never regret for the decision I have made and I pray hard that everything will be going smoothly. Oh ya.. me n my boyfriend.. hmmm.. long distance relationship.. I have not experienced it before, but I will try my best to maintain it. Trust between us is very important. I will learn to trust him more... To all my beloved frens, zi muis and heng dais, pls do not forget me.. let's keep in touch and I will come back Malaysia very often one. No worries.. LOL. I think i better stop here.. I wish all my collegemates and frens can get jobs with bright futures and all the dreams come true. Also, wish everyone including my family members, frens, boyfriend relatives and the one who is reading my blog now.. YES! It's you! Happy Always, healthy always and everything go smoothly. *Peace* >.<
