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* >.<
