3 MONTH OF SOLO FLYING WAS REALLY VERY TOUGH AND TIRING. MEETING DIFFERENT TYPE OF CREW AND PASSENGERS ONBOARD EVERY FLIGHT. ADAPTING TO EVERY NEW CREW, INTRODUCING TO EVERY NEW CREW ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DAY. GOOD AND EASY MONEY PERHAPS BUT LIFE UP THERE, IT WAS REALLY TOUGH. SACRIFICING SLEEP AND PERSONAL TIME WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY, AND ALSO ALONE TIME. MEETING UP WITH FRIENDS NOT AS OFTEN AS WE USED TO DUE TO FLIGHT SCHEDULE. BEING CALLED UP FOR EVERY SINGLE STANDBY WAS REALLY DAMN UNLUCKY. WORKING WITH GOOD CREW IS ALWAYS A BONUS, WORKING WITH BAD CREW IS ALWAYS A DISASTER. EVERY SECTOR HOPING TO HAVE AS LITTLE PASSENGERS AS POSSIBLE , ESPECIALLY ON SHORT FLIGHTS LIKE PHUKET. JUST GOT BACK FROM INDIA OVERNIGHT YESTERDAY MORNING BUT THANKFULLY THE LOAD WAS REALLY LIGHT FOR BOTH SECTORS. REALLY HOPING FOR LIGHT LOAD EVERY SECTOR. ZAPPY CREW ARE ALWAYS THE PROBLEM ONBOARD. WHY SHOULD CREW BE ZAPPY TO CREW? EVERYONE IS EQUAL, I'M SURE YOU WERE ONCE A JUNIOR TOO. DOES IT MEAN YOU DON'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES ONBOARD WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED? SOMETIMES I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY. FLYING FOR 3 MONTHS,INDEED IT WAS PRETTY BORING BUT GOOD MONEY. SHORT FLIGHTS ARE GOOD BECAUSE GET TO END FAST AND EARLY. BUT IT MEANS WE DOESN'T EARN MUCH FOR THAT DAY. LONG FLIGHTS ARE GOOD BECAUSE HIGHER PAY BUT IT ALSO MEAN MORE WORK TO DO. NO MATTER WHAT, EVERYONE WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. BECAUSE IT'S HUMAN NATURE ISN'T IT. EVER SINCE STARTING WORKING, I FEEL NO LIFE BECAUSE ALL I DO IS WORK WORK WORK EVERYDAY. EVEN OFF DAYS ARE MEANT TO SLEEP AND STUDY FOR WORK. AM I JUST GONNA WORK FOR 18 MONTH AND LEAVE? I DON'T KNOW. LIMITING MYSELF TO SPEND ONLY WHAT I NEED: MAKE-UP, MAKEUP REMOVER, NAIL POLISH, NAIL POLISH REMOVER, HAIR SPRAY, LENS. WAKING UP EXTRA EARLY JUST TO CATCH THE EARLIEST BUS AND TRAIN TO WORK BECAUSE DON'T WANT TO CAB FOR WORK. EVERYONE HAS BEEN ASKING ME THE SAME QUESTION: THEY PROVIDE CAB FARE FOR YOU EVERY FLIGHT, WHY NOT JUST USE IT ON CAB? SINCE YOU STAY SO NEAR TOO. BUT IF I CAN USE $30 PER MONTH FOR EZ-LINK FARE, IT MEANS I CAN SAVE UP THE OTHER $570 WHY NOT. I CAN TOP UP FOR ANOTHER 18-19 MONTH WHICH CAN ACTUALLY LAST ME FOR MY ENTIRE BOND?? PERHAPS I'M LIKE THE MOST SCRIMP AND SAVE STEWARDESS EVER HAHAHAHA. ANYWAYS, JUST WISH FOR GOOD FLIGHT AND LIGHT LOAD TOMORROW. PROBABLY GONNA WAKE UP EXTREMELY EARLY JUST TO TAKE TRAIN TO WORK AGAIN. YES, TALKING BOUT PASSENGER. COMMON QUESTION ASKED BY MOST PEOPLE: WHICH COUNTRY DO YOU LOVE TO TRAVEL TO THE MOST? MY ANSWER TO THEM ARE: > KL, PENANG, LANGKAWI, MEDAN, CHINA MAYBE

05AUGUST2016

2 month of solo flying, mixed feelings. Flying life started for only 3 weeks and I took 4 days MC due to Lungs Infection. 2 more days of MC to last me for another 4 more months. Just ended overnight flight yesterday morning. Being called up for every standby duration really sucks. All my standby duration never fails to get called up. But thankfully India overnight to Hyderabad was pretty good because of good crew (: Working overnight flight with two days off is so so great. So much personal time to study, sleep, do what I want to do. But every rest and off days passes extremely fast like a bullet train.. Looking forward to 15th and 21st cuz.... it's payday! $$$$$ Been scrimp and save for the past one month, trying to limit myself from taking cab, walking to Tanah Merah early in the morning around 5am?! Indeed it was a really tough month to survive but I managed to do so. Trying to spend $30 or even lesser than that on Transportation fees but seems a little difficult. Went for Company's DnD last Friday and cab home which wasted my money sigh. Here are some photos taken on DnD :

09MAY2016 - Flight from SIN > CEBU > DAVAO > SIN

Cockpit view was great. Didn't expect to get a chance to see that view. Crews yesterday was pretty good too. First time flying on Boeing737 as a crew, feeling was really tensed. I've never went to Cebu, Davao in my life. Even though we don't get the chance to disembark from the plane, but on the other side, we wouldn't be like spending as much as we thought every crew will do. 3 sectors was tiring by just working as FSS3. What's worse for tomorrow FSS2. Short flight to Penang 4 sectors. Gonna prep a lot like asdfghjkl. But I was quite happy about my performance yesterday. Managed to hands-on most of the duties.Tiring but well, I enjoyed flying. More to come in future (':

HECTIC LIFE FOR THE PAST 2 MONTH. BEEN TRYING TO LEARN AIRBUS AND BOEING, BOTH FLEETS YES,HONESTLY I'M VERY VERY TIRED OF IT ALREADY BUT I WILL CONTINUE BECAUSE I LOVE MY JOB I HAVE TRIED OUT 2 SNY AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT FLIGHTS I'M GETTING THIS WEEKEND AGAIN PROBABLY IT WILL BE A SHORT FLIGHT TO PHUKET OR KL. LONG FLIGHTS ARE TIRING BUT SHORT FLIGHTS ARE EVEN MORE TIRING IT'S TRUE THAT SHORT FLIGHT WE END EARLY, BUT IT WILL BE VERY RUSHING ON BOARD. HONESTLY SPEAKING, BEING A PASSENGER AND BEING A CABIN CREW IS VERY DIFFERENT. THERE ARE GOOD AND BAD. BUT I KNOW, IF I LOVE IT, I CAN DO IT YESTERDAY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A PH. BUT SADLY, SPENT MY PH IN THE AIRPORT IT WAS SO DAMN TIRING. EVEN NOW, I'M SO TIRED TO EVEN STUDY BUT I CANNOT SO MUCH THINGS TO STUDY BUT YET SO LIMITED TIME. TRYING TO HANDLE AIRBUS IS DIFFICULT ENOUGH AND YET THIS WEEKEND WE'RE FLYING BOEING. 3 GALLEYS VS 7 GALLEYS HOW AM I GONNA SURVIVE IN THE AIRCRAFT , SIGH 1 MORE MONTH TO OUR GRADUATION EVERYTHING IS HECTIC WE NEED TO STUDY, EXAMS,PLAN FOR GRADUATION, PRACTICE FOR GRADUATION I FEEL SO MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY DRAINED..

11MARCH2016 - 1st Week of Training

I DO THOUGHT OF UPDATING EVERYDAY BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WORKING LIFE IS REALLY REALLY VERY BUSY. EVERYDAY WAKE UP AT 6AM, PUT MAKE-UP + SPRAY PERFUME + STYLE HAIRSTYLES + WEAR FORMAL. SOMEWHAT I GOT TIRED OF PUTTING ON MAKE-UP AND WEARING FORMAL. FROM BEING A FULL-TIME STUDENT TO FULL-TIME WORKAHOLIC, TRUTHFULLY IT'S REALLY VERY DIFFERENT. THOSE DAYS AS STUDENT, I FEEL "FREEDOM" DURING STUDYING. BUT I FEEL STRESSED WHILE STUDYING. YET NOW, WORKING FULL-TIME. I KNOW HOW TOUGH IS IT TO WORK IN THIS LINE. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS TO STUDY, MEMORIZE. HANDS-ON//PRACTICAL. EVERYTHING ISN'T AS EASY AS WE THOUGHT. FOR THIS PAST ONE WEEK, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO STRUGGLE THROUGH AND FINALLY IT'S FRIDAY! TGIF. STACKS AND STACKS OF NOTES ARE GETTING ON OUR HANDS. MEMORIZING DIFFERENT TYPE OF AIRCRAFTS, BOEING ETC. PERFORMING AS A NANNY, POLICE, WAITRESS ETC. IT HAS ONLY BEEN A WEEK BUT IT FEEL AS THOUGH IT HAS BEEN A MONTH. TRAINING ARE MEANT TO BE HELL. TIREDNESS KILLS ME. EVERYDAY I'M HOPING FOR MORE HOURS OF SLEEP, SLEEPING EARLIER. WELL, I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO BE MORE OPEN UP. BUT I SWEAR, I AM TIRED T^T THANKFULLY MONDAY(12/03) AND TUESDAY(13/03) IS GROOMING LESSONS *.* BUT SO WHAT IF IT'S GROOMING LESSON, AFTERWARDS STILL HAVE TO STUDY FOR WEDNESDAY TEST. I JUST PRAY HARD I CAN MANAGE TO MEMORIZE EVERYTHING BY WEDNESDAY ): ANYWAYS, FINALLY WE HAVE COLLECTED OUR UNIFORMS, SHOES, LUGGAGE AND BAG TODAY. BUT IT WAS A STRUGGLE TO BRING ALL THESE BACK HOME -.-

06MARCH2016 - Before Training officially starts

BEFORE THE START OF TRAINING TOMORROW,TRUTHFULLY I HAVE MIXED FEELINGS TOWARDS MEETING NEW COLLEAGUES TOMORROW. IT FEEL AS THOUGH THE FIRST TIME I'M ENTERING ITE COLLEGE. IT'S AN UNEXPLAINABLE FEELING, IT FEELS EVEN MORE DIFFERENT. DURING SCHOOLING,SCHOOL REOPEN HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY PHOBIA. GOING TO A NEW CLASS, GETTING TO KNOW NEW MATES, IS REALLY TOUGH. BUT AT LEAST I KNOW, DURING THE PAST 12 YEARS BEING A STUDENT, I HAVE SOMEONE I KNOW, ALWAYS BEING WITH ME THROUGHOUT THESE 12 YEARS, ALFIE. ALFIE HAS BEEN A GREAT PILLAR OF STRENGTH TO ME THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE PRIMARY, SECONDARY AND ITE PERIOD. ALTHOUGH WE DON'T REALLY TALK TO EACH OTHER, BUT I FEEL SAFE TO HAVE HIM BEING WITH ME.IT IS QUITE A PITY TO ACTUALLY GO ON A SEPERATE WAY WITH SOMEONE I'VE KNOWN FOR SO MANY YEARS. BUT IN FUTURE WE WILL STILL LEAVE EACH OTHER SO IT'S POINTLESS. STUDENTS ARE DIFFERENT FROM WORKING COLLEAGUES. STUDENTS ARE MORE PURE, THEY CAN BE SPOILED AT TIMES BUT THEY ARE GREAT. I HAVE BEEN HURT DEEPLY THROUGHOUT MY STUDENT LIFE.TO ME,BEING A STUDENT WASN'T EASY. MEETING DIFFERENT TYPE OF CLASSMATES, FRIENDS ETC. I JUST HOPE MY COLLEAGUES WILL BE GOOD. I TOTALLY CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN DURING THE 3 MONTH TRAINING AND 9 MONTH PROBATION. CAN I EVEN LAST FOR 5 YEARS 3 MONTH..? IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY DREAM SINCE YOUNG. PERHAPS IT'S EVERY GIRL'S DREAM TO BE ONE. BEFORE I WENT FOR THE INTERVIEWS, I ASKED MYSELF , AM I READY FOR IT? CAN I DO A GOOD JOB IN IT? CAN I EVEN GET THROUGH THE FIRST ROUND OF INTERVIEWS TILL THE LAST? AND YES I DID IT. WHEN I RECEIVED THE EMAIL REGARDING MEDICAL CHECK-UP, I FELT REALLY HAPPY. BUT DURING THE PERIOD OF TIME WHEN I WAS WAITING FOR THE MEDICAL REPORT TO BE OUT, THAT REALLY TESTED MY PATIENCE AND ENDURANCE. I DIDN'T GET NOTIFIED VIA EMAIL BUT GOTTEN MISSED CALLS FROM THE COMPANY. I THOUGHT NEGATIVELY INITIALLY BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE GOOD NEWS FROM THEM! I HAVE NEVER FELT THAT SENSED OF HAPPINESS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE BEFORE. BUT KNOWING THAT, I KNOW I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT TO SPEND WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. 5 YEARS. AM I READY FOR IT? CAN I COMPLETE THESE 5 YEARS? CAN I EVEN PASS THE TRAINING TESTS? I FELT SO UNPREPARED ABOUT TOMORROW BUT I REALLY HOPE THAT I CAN DO IT. TO BE CONTINUED.... DAY 1 TRAINING WILL BE SHARED TOMORROW. STAY TUNED!
