My Eventful Tuesday and Friday.. Jetstar Asia??

Sch tis week was quite ok.. However, it was raining non-stop.. Heavenly weather and lovely temperature.. haha well tuesday, i skipped sch cos i wen for this Harmony Works! conference.. it was so beneficial we talked abt stuff abt racism and all openly and it was nice..
However, i didnt ask questions cos was for ministers and not the speakers cos they were ministers and all.. so yea.. Well i wen home benefitting frm it lor so yea. They gave us tis book entitle " Skin Deep" too.. cool book to read..
Have started reading on while on my wah to sch.. hehehe
Yday (Friday), as usual, had to wake up at 5am. As usual, i would start moaning cos i dread the process of it.. haha.. Then wen i woke i looked out the window.. and i did look like it was going to rain so yea.. wen i entered the toilet, there was thunder..
The moment i switched on the shower, it started to rain.. Terrible man.. i had to bring umbrella.. and i hate to carry the umbrella.. i hate it so so much.. Wen to change and all.. Left the house after i was done..
On the way to the interchange, it sorta seemed tat it was drizzling.. Wen i got on the train, it stopped raining!!! Dam it!! Wen i reached sch, i was so annoyed cos it wasnt raining..

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
