My Eventful Tuesday and Friday.. Jetstar Asia??
To add on to the misery of carrying an umbrella, i was wearing a new shoe... Apparently it was big but could fit.. haha and i was also wearing a wrong pair of socks.. dam it man.. And bcos of the shoes, i walked like i jus got "Fu*ked" hahaha cos i had blisters.. pain sia!!
Sch was 4hrs without break and first 2hrs was wif Rajes (my AOA teacher) where we did typing.. haha She was late.. so we did typing.. pretending to be gd students.. haha of course i had other programmes running.. hahah
I do like Rajes's lesson though its very stressfull.. hahaha.. After her 2hrs, we had POM and the teacher did come (Ms Lee) tat meant free lesson. Eric Chua came to relief our class. haha like him man.. he is like the GTO in my sch.. tat gd.
I think in some ways. im like him too.. hahaha.. Like the interaction wif him cool guy.. Well we had to like have grps for our Marketing projects so sorta grouped outselves... some were happy wif their group while some werent.. hahah
After sch, had to go to the airport for my interview.. something tat i have been pending.. Managed to go for it. My friend forgot to bring my papers so yea had to like make do without it.. Later after tat, i filled up some forms..
Was told i was selected to go for the second interview wif the ground handling agent (SATS) now tis is something very new to me.. Later i learned tat im posted to be incharge of Jetstar Asia.. My facial expression changed..
Firstly, i knew i had wat it takes but they wanted full time but i can onli do part time secondly, Jetstar had something against SQ. For the ladies, u cant bun ur hair like how SQ does it but u still have to bun ur hair.. (Something a friend told me)
So yea i wen told the Manager or watever it was i don wan to join Jetstar and he said nvm jus go for the second selection.. I reluctantly went. Wen i saw the crowd, i so shocked.. All the girls (i was the onli guy..)
The other girls had no standard.. Couldnt speak english, couldnt dress.. n tis is kinda racist but some were like mina wannabes.. hahaha.. In any case, wen for the interview. We met the Airlines Relations Manager and he was frm T2 and i met him b4.. He was frm T1 and came to T2
Bcos of the stress cos too many cases and all he couldnt take it so he went back to T1 and now he is the Airlines Relations Manager.. haha.. So yea he gave us the whole " Where Jetstar came frm theory" i was rolling my eyes thru his "lecture" and the others were paying attention but not much attention.. haha
He was telling us stuff i already knew maybe bcos i know so yea.. for their benefit lah.. Then he brought in the planes models and i was so engrossed in them.. haha i was paying more attention to the plane models then to him talking..
Soon the interview began and everyone tat wen in, came out within 3 mins.. I was the last.. Then it was my turn.. Wen in.. The first thing he commented was " Sherwin.. U are the first CHINESE guy.." I looked at him at inside i was saying " like u arent.. " haha
So i sat dwn and he asked where i was studing now etc etc.. N bcos during his "lecture", he made us ask questions, i asked him if our job, requires us to do stuff for the crew like wat im doin now in t2.
He got stunned and so he knew wat i was asking and all.. later he talked abt my sch and he said he couldnt take me in but he wants to put me on the standby list whereby if he needs me, he would call me cos he wanted me to do airlines like Qantas and the whole Qantas family (AO, QF, VF, 3K) and BA too..
I looked at him and asked him "So am i in or not?" He said " Ill put u on "standby" then i told him off.. hahaha.. I said "id rather get a firm answer now then to sit and wait doin nothing." He said on perk days we need people" and whole bunch of crap.
I asked him so im not selected bcos of sch n bcos i cant sacrifice 3weeks for training.. he said i fit the bill very well but yes on grounds bcos i had sch. Then i asked him SQ, MI operate the same planes QF n 3K, n VF is operating.. I mean minus the systems i think the rest are the same.. And i expressed tat 3K is jus an LCC not a full fledged airline where im beggin to go to so it doesnt really matter to me.. Cos he made me read tis sicking boarding annoucement which the other girls didnt do.. i was able to do it though..
He got shocked and i said " thank you n i left" hahaha and wen i came out the girls all looked at me.. I was smiling all the way.. haha.. I called the manager or watever it was to see the Airlines Relations Manager cos he wanted to see him..
Wen the results were announced, few got in.. onli few married ones.. hahah.. I burst out into laughter and everyone was looking at me.. We were told tat we would be posted to jobs in T2.. i was so happy and glad.. i was rejoicing.. hahah..
Kinda glad tat im not in or working for Budget Airlines or LCCs.. But the 3K staff were nice.. Well i think they wan to be better then SQ.. Tat i have to admit cos its very obvious.. so yea.. Headed home later and i was so tired plus the blisters were killing me..
Had dinner and all later watched my Jewel in the Palace.. haha.. wen to shower and off to bed.. Woke up tis morning n i was so tired.. haha feel like goin out later but well see how later.. well toddles for now.. cheerios

Managed to ask her some questions and clearified them.. To things like OJT, OT, etc etc.. so yea.. She gave me the answers to my questions.. Again i have to add tat im sad tat i have to leave but then some changes would be gd.. In MI/SQ after 2-4/5 years, u can apply to be promoted..

Confusion n stress
I tried helping by answering phone calls, faxes and so on. For the First time, i used the Solaris system for SQ crew GD alone without assistance.. I mean since the day i started till today, Kaka Yan was teaching my and all.. My mentor.. But of course there were others but she tot me the most.. till i memorised..
Had like 4 flights for the first half.. had to walk... well was ok lah.. I think im beginning to get the hang of all the funny forms used for China n India SEctors.. Wen back to office and of course helped kaka yan.. the calls were coming in non-stop and its was all wif regards to the embarkation cards.. terrible..
SEcond half of the shift soon came.. and my Officer asked me to follow him n Mavis walked.. hehe... Finally.. WEn Rodney not arnd.. Mavis WAlks.. hehe.. well i tink im in talking terms wif cynthia n those who dislikes mavis.. but of course i don get bullied by them which is gd.. so yea..
For the whole of today, i was kinda confused n dwn.. REason being the transfering to a different department.. I was avoiding the whole matter by doin my work and really concentrating.. but tis DM (Duty Manager), could sense i was troubled..
I dunno how but he found out i was frustrated over the matter of me transfering out to GE.. I caught me goin back to office.. and he was telling me i had potential etc etc cos he has seen be working n handling the most stressful and complicating flights n even briefing the IFS on wat the various forms are for.. etc etc..
So i was telling him i was considering.. Then i wen to do my flts and stuff totally trying to avoid the whole matter.. Then wen i was leaving to meet my friend for dinner, i saw him again.. apparently they had some case to handle..
I asked him rushing arr.. he said time n tide waits for no man.. i gotta agree wif tat.. He said.. come join GE.. learn more and have more experience.. Enjoy getting scolded by passengers.. See how we enjoy it.. i mean did get wat he meant..
But bottom line is, i cant bare to leave my cabin crew friends and all.. haiz.. i really wished i could do both at one time.. Haiz thinkin of tis jus makes me sad.. im so lost now..

Reached work like at 1545.. haha.. was sending flts wif one of the most sickening officers.. don really like him..well he is one of those hypocrites whom i dislike and his temper is like a girl.. swings so fast.. haha.. WEll was like kinda silent thruout..
Lied saying tat i attended my friend's grandfather's funeral.. Oh yea btw.. Debra's granddad died aT THE age of 92.. Well i kinda expected it.. Cos last night was talking to Angeline abt it.. Was told tat he (Deb's grandfather) was having fever.. so was well time is really of the essence now..
Tis morning wen i woke up, got an sms saying tat he passed away in the morning.. The funeral would be on Sunday.. Wanted to go but i dunno where is the place.. But did sent my heart felt condolences.. Well anyway, i used tat as an excuse.. so yea..
Was actually kinda ok.. Till i got a call frm office.. i was actually attending to SQ2.. SIN-SFO(via HKG) well i got tis call frm office.. i was in the plane.. tis bitch (Mavis) apparently she is like so close wif my officer(Rodney) till the whole office is talking abt them being a couple..
I was kinda mad cos i was busy and u call my handphone asking where my officer is wen u jolly well start work at 1700hrs.. She arrived abt abt 1615 and called me at 1630.. Chee bye rite?? I was kinda boiling n did wan to tell her if its not work related don call me cos i don wan to be called by her..
Of course i had to maintain my composure.. and controlled my temper.. I jus kept silent thruout.. She was such a suck up.. I was at F54 rod was at F59.. She saw me and asked where was Rodney n i said 59.. can u imagine the bitch walked to 59 jus to find him..
No wonder she is nicked names housefly.. haha always sticking to e food which is rodney.. haha.. Well we had SQ430 which had its gate changed frm E22 to E28.. Can u imagine.. she volunteered to do it.. so i wen to E4 some china flt cant remember.. n Rod did.. E12.. i think SQ162..
Frm E28 she(Mavis) walked to E12.. tats like so fucking far!! Well she is much older then Rod so yea.. haha.. WEll SQ68(E3) She again volunteered to do.. so yea.. while she was away, Rod asked me y was i silent i jus said i was ok.. it was obvious i was tired n all.. but was very boiling mad..
The onli thing tat made my day was my MI978 to ChongQIng.. China Sector.. haha.. As much as i like hated it, reason being it was a china sector, but the crew well the senior was nice.. Elsie.. hehe.. So yea.. the plane wasnt there yet. not sure where it was frm anyway..
We were like chatting.. Jus nice there was tis group of China Pax..Talking so loud like they were literally screaming their lungs out man.. tats how loud they were.. Elsie was like can u tell them to shut the fuck up.. I asked here u sure? she replied yes.. of course i did..
WAlked up to them n i said "Excuse me tis is an airport. Please lower ur volume" and they jus wen silent.. immendiately, u hear silence.. WEll jus whispering.. hhaha.. terrible.. Wen back to the crew and they were like wah y so silent already..
Elsie was like u told them arr? I sai dyea.. she asked wat i told them so i told her lah.. They were like wah lao.. u so daring arr.. haha.. But well knowing Sherwin.. haha.. Elsie made tis joke asking me to go Eu Yan Sang to buy sleeping tablets for her to put in their orange juice.. haha.. was so funny.. Tats was like my perk up of the day.. haha
WEll WAs still kinda pissed wif Mavis n Rod.. suckers..Couldnt give a 1cant dam abt them.. Did like few other flts.. soon 1930 came.. time to leave n meet my friend for dinner.. haha.. b4 i left, SQ410, DEL, had some probs wif the ED cards.. apparently, the lazy aunty, passed it to someone.. Wat can i say?? Wen u are lazy, tis is the result..
The matter was heated.. between the Officer in charge of the flight n my officer.. bcos of the aunty.. and tat OIC of the flt had a very bad temper too.. Well i don mean to be racist but pple like him do have a bad temper.. so yea.. he showed me attitude but well..
AFter wat i heard abt how some of the officers view us contract staff, i wasnt interested to help them out anymore.. my respect for them has dropped.. aside frm work i don think i would discuss anymore wif them.. so yea..
MEt my friend for dinner oh and on monday, while i was working, i met tis middle aged couple where were on Bangkok Airways (T1) and they wanted to go to the T2 SQ Biz Class Lounge.. and asked me for directions.. Of course i did render assistance.. hehe.. and yday wen i was like on my way to meet my friend, they met me and the wife said "I see u again. WEn i was going, i saw u at T2 now i see u here" haha wat a small world.. hehe.. so yea.. haha.. Then we chose a seat.. There were tis 3 CIAS staff.. Temp too.. so yea.. sat like beside us.. Then they were chatting and somehow there were 2 girls n 1 guy.. and the Guy was saying SIA's standard dropped and all..
Instantaniously, i gave him a very hard stare cos he surely wasnt of the standard and he is commenting.. wat the hell man.. Well at least i was quite pissed wif him.. Kinda became bitchy.. dunno if they heard but i kept looking at them..
One of the girls sorta noticed i was frm SATS.. and yea.. we headed to the viewing mall to see planes n chatted and then headed home like at 2300 hrs so yea here i am now after surfin the net and all.. haha.. well today i somehow tot of joinin GE..
Pay was like $4.50 per hr and uniform is provided.. and work is kinda gd plus i get to choose the shift and wen i wan to work which is cool.. But i dunno im confused.. cos i like my job cos of my current MI friends.. would miss them and cant bare to let go.. haiz thinking of tis is so depresssing..
