Dear all....i am now in LA. My 1st on job training flight....really very nervous, not knowing what to do, where to find things. Let me tell about what i had did.
3 hr 30 min before the departure time (3pm), i have to show my face at the operation center, which is 11.30am.And as usual, i have to prepare myself 1 hr 30 min before. I had briefing & lunch in the operation center, then off we go to airport for boarding.

I was assigned to a jumpseat, next to the most junior crew in the flight, and i observe & learn what she do. 1st thing is to arrange the newspaper, then magazine rack. Soon after that, passenger start boarding.....so welcome passenger. After take off, start giving out headphone and some giveaway items, then towel services.........and lots more to go.
I had the chance to give out the headphone, collecting used cup, giving up 1st meal.....and of coz..cleaning up toilet too!

I had a short rest time after abt 8 hours of depature....is really tiring!! and the most hard things was communication problem. Some passenger speak only korean, or japanese....so i can only always "ma fan" korean crew to help out .

I finally reached LA abt 13 hrs later...and flying back tml midnite...

Jack Of All Trade

I m back!!! yes! i m back.....for 10 days ...wish it could be a longer break time for me. So what have i done last month? I m being trained as a

1) door opener (yes..i need to know the steps to open different aircraft door ),
2) security guard, (we have martial art/self defence class too!)
3) safety guard,
4) 1st aid paramedic, (we learn 1st aid from nurses)
5) evacuation "director"..... (to know what to do incase of evacuation needed)

Is not easy to become a cabin crew. "what differenciate a waitress and a cabin crew is the safety training that a cabin crew need to go through" - i totally agree to this.

That was what i did last month - safety training. Soon i will be in training again for another 1 more month, this time..for service training. Let's see how it will change me....haha!

What i ate...

Is had been long that i did not update this blog......been extremely busy with the training schedule & testsssss......

after 2 weeks in Korea, i found out tat almost everyday i'll come across of KIMCHI, and all sorts of preserved vege, and losts of stews, soy bean paste soup.....

Let me show what i have before this few days.

One of the lunch meal tat i have in the canteen. The company "bao" lunch for all the staff.....


Mcdonald .. Bulgogi Set @ 4200 Won


Breakfast (buffet) in hotel


Zha Zhiang Mian (炸酱面）


When i am lazy to walk out....then i ate this...but i m cutting down on this already.


and this....Live Octopus !!! i swear we didn;t know what they sell when we enter the restaurant , there are NO single english word at all!

An Yeong Ha Sip NI Ka!

I am now in Incheon! yes...only in Incheon Airport & Gimpo Airport area. Day time over here is long, sunrise before 6am (not sure on the time coz i have not been up before tat....soon i will know), and sunset at about 8pm.

This is where i stay...at Hyatt Incheon...is Twin Sharing.

The view from my room

Complimentary Teabags & coffee

While on the way from Incheon Airport to Gimpo Airport, there are quite a number of such vegetable farm by the road side.

Sometimes, i'll see this in the morning....abt 5am++ (and they said now is summer season)

The most expensive dinner that i had so far .. 9000won / pax for this Pork Ribs BBQ set,

Will update more soon!

God Blessed Land

Malaysia, the land that i call home...is really a God Blessed Land. Looking at the newspaper, there is Typhoon in Philipines, flood in Southern China, earthquake in Japan, earthquake at Sichuan, Snow Storm in Northern China............Tsunami at Banda Acheh, Phuket, Volcano in Indonesia....don't u think Malaysia is really a God Blessed Lang situated in the middle of all these countries?

Krabi Getaway

Krabi - a place that is coming up , but still less touristy as Phuket. I think quite a number of populations here are muslims, you can actually saw many ladies in tudung, or at least have their hair wrapped up. Their are also restaurants, food stalls that sell halal food.


Many websites state that May - Oct is raining season (tat's y it is low season too), i was worry whether it will ruin my trip or not....but thank god, everyday was a sunny day, except there was a day it is raining in Ao Nang. (but we were away island hopping).


The main road in Ao Nang

As it is low season, we get cheaper deal on accomodation & tour.

We stayed at Ben's House, a fabulous , cute little guesthouse. It is few months old, still new.

600 Baht (800 baht with ABF) per night for a Superior Room. They provide housekeeping everyday, 2 bottles of water everyday, and it has a swimming pool too! I got no complaint at all.


The Superior Room

The swimming pool tat is share with the boutique hotel next door (Royal Nakara)


Islands Hopping

Ben's House also has tour arrangement services, we booked our "4 islands " (450 baht by long tail boat) & "Phi Phi Island" (1000 baht by speedboat) trip with them.


The "4 Islands Tour" (include Poda island, Hong Island, Chicken Island, Phranang Cave)

Poda Island


Poda Island


Tub Island (Note the sand strip in the middle of the sea, it appear during low tide, and 1 can walk over to the small island on the other side)


Sumwhere near to the Phranang Cave


Chicken Island (Koh Khai)


Vendors on the island


after bargaining, i bought a corn for 30 baht, & a BBQ drumstick (Gai Yang in thai) for 40 baht. (is expensive to me ) .


Phi Phi Island Tour

Bamboo Island

This cute baby gal was same boat with me, her parents leave her alone playing sands and go for photo session.. that is how a western child is being brought up to be independant i believe.



Maya Bay (it become so famous after movie "The Beach" was filmed there)


I think in total i spent about RM600 for this tour.. i did not fly there, but i used land transpot all the way up till Krabi.

It goes this way:
KL- Hatyai (abt 10hrs by bus)
Hatyai - Krabi town (abt 4hrs by bus)
Krabi Town - Ao Nang (30 min)

Ao Nang - Hatyai (abt 5 hrs by minivan)
Hatyai - KL (abt 16 hrs by train , and of coz....i'll definitely go for a sleeping berth)

Interview, interviews, interviewss...

After i had been through so many airlines interviews, i make my own conclusion on what do they actually look for in selecting a cabin crew.

-For gals, too young they don't take in , or if u still look like college student or fresh from college, passing % is low.
-Too thin or too fat, body built too small or too big, passing % low.
-Always keep eye contact with interviewers.
-Try ur best to keep smiling, at least enough to conver ur nervousness.
-Always follow the instructions, if they mention business attire, don't go in casual wear, if they said skirt, don't go in pants etc.
-Be humble
-If cabin crew is wat u wan, don't afraid of failure and rejections, not everyone got it in the 1st few attempts, at least for me is not.....

Using a quote of Ivan: "if she had stop trying, she might not get this now"
