Rather a fixed mundane pattern

I'm on my eighth week here in the academy. Which means that it's been almost two months since I started!

Adapted to the norm of waking up as early as 5.30 am, in order for me to get out of the house latest by 6.30 am to avoid traffic jam. My class starts from 8.30 am to 5.30 pm, from Monday to Friday; which includes morning break at 10.00 am, lunch at 1.00 pm, tea break at 3.00 pm, classes in between and exams every now and then. So with all those things happening everyday, imagine how tiring it is when I get back.

Basically before the training began, a stewardess' job and tasks seems easy when you look at it from the outside but as I go deep, I learnt that it's not as simple as I thought it would be. Because for one, they have an established image that we (the front-liners) have to take care of. Therefore, we really need to do things up to the standards that were set by the seniors. Secondly, we need to look at things in detail, we need to be observant. Because if we don't, our lives and the passengers' will be at stake. So most people know that our job is to serve food on board, help with the embarkation and disembarkation of passengers, brief them on safety procedures, be helpful, courteous, polite, friendly and whatnot. It's true, those are our daily duties and the personalities that we need to have. But the thing is, what most of us don't realise is that the safety of the passengers and their lives are in our hands. So imagine the burden that we have to carry everyday throughout the flights, hundreds and thousands of people travelling with us. Too heavy! Now, does it sound easy? But then again, it's how we handle things is what matter the most. Therefore, it's not hard if we set our minds to it.

Well, I gotta admit that there's a lot of things for me to learn. Some may be easy and some may not be, but everything and everyday is a learning process. Hopefully when things get difficult one day, I won't ever give up and I hope that nothing can ever break me.

Sudden feeling of excitement

So while I was driving to work around nineish in the morning, I got a call from an unfamiliar number. A typical me would not have answered it. But since I started working, been dealing a lot with clients and media owners that they have too many numbers which most of them I did not save, I decided to pick it up. My thoughts when I picked up the call was either one of my clients (Baba's or Royal Sporting House), asking for a schedule or to inquire on some stuffs, or one of the media owners (too many to list them out), wanting to do a follow up on my clients on their plans for this year and whatnot. But no, it wasn't any of them. This call I would be expecting, perhaps another week or two as it was a normal routine for them to get back to me after some time. So when I picked up the call, the other end asking for me as she said my full name. My reply was, "Yes, this is she," still figuring out who it was. She then told me who she is and the reason for her to be calling me. In my mind during the whole conversation was "Oh! Okay!". We had a quick talk, and then I hang up. I continued to drive afterwards. Yes, I was driving but no, not during the brief conversation, as I was at the traffic light on red. It was actually a good timing for her to call me. 

It was basically a good news for me. To be specific, a good news and a rather bad news. The good news was, I got a call from the HR Department of Malaysia Airlines, telling me that I passed my medical check up that I went to last Friday and this recent Monday for an ECG test for the heart thing which I mentioned in my previous post. It was a relief that I passed! But the rather bad news was that my reporting date is on January 20th, which is in two weeks time! Yeah, I could not report on the given date as I had to give a one month notice for my current job. So yeah. I told them of my situation and the dates when I'm available to go for the training.

And now..... since I got another reporting date, I am thrilled and so eager to start. Soon enough then!

A little story to tell

I took the day off from work today as I had an appointment for medical check up, for my hope-to-be new job. It was at the company's own medical centre which is at Lapangan Terbang Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah, also known as Subang Airport. Was there around 8.30 in the morning, as stated in the email. Registered myself and proceeded with the check up. They checked my blood pressure, height and weight, eye and hearing test, x-ray, urine test and some stuffs with the doctor. Everything went well and it ended before 12, so I was rather happy that I could go back early and rest.

Umm.... well actually, there was one problem with me, which the doctor said that my heart beat was not as normal as he thought it would be, but he said it's not serious. So I had to come in another time, just to make sure that it's okay. Really hope it was nothing.

Alright, moving on to another topic then. Since it's January, and new year's eve has just passed, I wanted to talk about my new year's resolution! My previous resolutions have always been about being thin but since I already am, it can't really be it this time, could it? It's like no use having that as my resolution, when I already have. So yeah. For this year, my resolution would be...... a secret. The reason why I don't think it's a good idea for me to say is because I'm afraid I might jinx it. I don't want to say it if I couldn't achieve. So, if I want it so bad, more than anything in the world, I'll surely work for it. So one day if I happen to write about it, only then you'll know what it is. Until then, I'll be keeping it to myself so only I will know. (Some of you might not understand the reason for me to mention this, but it's actually for me to remind myself that I do have a resolution this year and for me to look back to 2014, and to see if I achieve it or whatnot.)

And I'm pretty sure that this year will rather be a bumpy ride, but yeah, Keep Calm and Persevere. Let's just see how things go from here.
