Another Step Closer

31 August 2015 // Monday

Its a back-to-work Monday.

Had a short getaway to Malaysia over the weekends to visit my relatives there and I flew there by Tigerair.

I had never felt so occupied on this flight as compared to all my previous flying experiences.

Probably because I know, this is what I will be doing in future and I paid extra attention to everything the cabin crew did.

But after all, Tigerair was a budget carrier. They only had 4 crew onboard and no meals were served.

I noticed how they were clicking their counter while greeting passengers on board the aircraft. I paid extra attention to the in-flight announcements (although the speaker didn't have exactly good English). I listened when they were demonstrating the safety instructions. And I couldn't help but kept noticing the time they required to complete certain tasks.

It was so interesting that I couldn't help but feel even more excited for my upcoming endeavors.

I constantly did a self check for my physical condition onboard during the flight. I wanted to ensure I wasn't encountering any issues such as dry eyes, dizzy spells or discomfort for I would be living most of my life this way in future. Glad to say none of the above applies.

As I've mentioned before that my commencement date has been postponed to end October, I'm contemplating on heading for the SIA recruitment on 12 September. Am trying very hard to prepare myself for the interview because I'm sure that's what I really want.

I have always been in love with our airport, both by the overall and the interior. Stepping in to T2 and checking in felt so good. Having priority access to the departure lounge as a Singaporean was another added advantage. Am so proud be Singaporean, free from wars and currency depletion and corruption and all, so all the more I want to represent my country's best airline and spread my wings across the globe.

Anyway, I enter the departure lounge early so I could shop at Pandora (tax free yay!). I was clad in my mandatory heels so I could walk properly with grace. The impeccable service from the retail outlets and the customer service personnel at almost every 10 steps blew me off my feet. I couldn't describe the feeling seeing how everything worked so well on its own.

I headed to my boarding gate and entered the gate pretty early. The previous flight has yet to depart still. I glanced out of the window and saw a Boeing 777-200. I was so proud seeing that logo and how huge this giant was. And I thought of how wonderful it would be to soar in the air through the clouds in this beast.

Okay, wake me up from my day dream already. I think I stared at the aircraft for at least 20mins and couldn't help but kept smiling to myself.

I just felt so close to SIA, just this close. I wanted to give my best shot again, because I believe in grabbing every opportunity that comes along lest regretting missing the chance later.

I went home and searched for more information on SIA's cabin crew training. Seeing the uncountable high-technology equipment such as wave-simulator and life-sized aircraft, I couldn't help but gave a little scream inside. I almost couldn't contain my excitement!

So that concludes this post with me deciding... to go for the walk-in interview!

Wish me luck! :D
