A decision

i decided to take a huge risk, to come up with this decision..
that is.. to defer my work training till November, in order to complete my very last module on hand.
Yes, this comes with a risk, that is, i have to turn up for a review session in September.

it's one of the hardest decision i've ever made in my life. Thinking between my last degree module VS a job that i really wanted to work in. & also bearing in mind that every decision i've made, comes with a consequence to bear.

Been seeking many people's opinions and views over the decision i've made. i should say that 70% percent of them feels that i've made the right choice, especially my family, boyfriend, and close friends involved. Studies always come first, i need to prioritize studies first.

But some feels that it might be a huge risk.. what if i fail review? i need to head back square one to try for this dream job of mine once again? Waking up as early as 5+am, to prepare yourself, dress smart and head down to queue and compete again 1000 over + applicants out there?

the feeling that i've already gotten/clinch the job, passed through the 6 rounds,  medical round cleared, got my training dates and all. but i chose to defer the training for my studies sake!
at the end of the day, i still think i've made the right choice, just detest the risk and worrying part that anything might happen, say if i didn't perform well during the review.
i'm extremely thankful with the HR personnel, she was really nice, she did tell me i don't need to try again from Round 1, just have to come back for a review session! *praying hardz*

i always wanna start off my career, knowing that my studies and other commitments are settled. I want to have a sense of assurance in it. i don't wish to feel distracted over this last module while commencing my flying duties. i don't wish to lose focus during trainings and not passing it at e end of the day. i want to graduate, and attend the convocation with my uni friends together in 2013! & i think most importantly, my parents really wanna c me graduate, and take a family graduation photo together! Honestly speaking, people who know my family background well, should know i wasn't academically inclined as compared to my other two sisters, so being able to officially graduate with a degree, it's a dream that my parents want me to fulfill for them!
i even have thoughts to ask Paul to take a graduation photo shoot with me in our gowns! that will be sooooo awesome! =)

Honestly speaking, i don't really feel that good during this period of time, towards the review. I tend to worry too much, wayyy too much like what my good friends been saying.
i need to think positively at times, everything will turn out well in the end.
i need to have just a little more faith in myself, knowing that i've already reached this stage, i do have the qualities they are looking for.. i need to pass through this last hurdle REVIEW stage! =)

from now till September review, it's a good 2 months +.
have so many things on the list i wanna do/achieve.

1. gym, attend more work out classes, need to keep to my fittest (just in case i've to fit in the uniform again!)
2. read a book, yes. my 5 languages of love
3. praying hard F1 calls me up, SUPER GOOD PAY.
4. packed my room
5. take really good care of my complexion, hydrate, and eat more fruits/vegs!
6.spend more quality time with my family/nephew/friends and my boyfriend
7.look forward to my 1 week pre graduation taiwan trip with boyfriend =D
8. study real hard for my module, making sure i'll cleared it.

okay, so whats your view then?

The Interview

To be a cabin crew has always been something i want to do and to experience since young.
That's one of my motivating factor that i decided to major in the diploma of Hospitality and Tourism in Temasek Polytechnic. And also, to boost my working experience in relation with customer service.

Finally the day has come, 19th May 2012, i decided to make my way down to Suntec Convention Center to give it my all despite failing it for 5 times. 

Shall make it a point to record down the interview process that i've experienced. 

Decided to wake up as early as 6am, prepare and head my way down to the interview venue. Was being allocated group 10, which means by 8am (1/2 hour before the official interview begins) there's around 100 applicants registered for this interview. (IMAGINE THAT?!)

Round 1 - it was a group interview of ten applicants.
The question raised is  'Tell me your recent movie you watched, and why?'
Round 2 - height test and education certifications check
Round 3 - Skin Check
They ain't looking for flawless skin, so no worries, as long as there's no acne, scars, and you are pleasant looking, i think you will do fine. Just remember to keep smiling, and display confidence! 
Round 4 - 1 to 1 interviewe
Questions can be situational based, or you may even be asked questions in related to your personal life, your interest..Just answer frankly, confidently, and be cheerful!
Round 5 - Final Management Round (Next day)
Again, it's a group interview of 6 applicants. First, u have to introduce the partner beside you, and then, there be a passage read, and also a debate question. 
Round 6 - Uniform Round
Yes, try on the uniform, tie ur hair up into a bun, and give your best walk down! there will be a skin check round here as well!
Round 7 - Medical Check Up
As long as u r in pink of health, there's shouldn't be any problem, i reckon! 

Right now, i'm in the midst of awaiting for the golden call, whether am i officially accepted. The wait is agonizing to be frank, fingers and toes crossed. With that, wish me luck, will update once again! =)
