I was with the most prestigious Airline in the world. Used to be a part of the crew that provides service even other Airlines talk about.
Thruout my 3 years with SQ, I met numerous nasty people (crew and passengers). However the nice and helpful people that I met far far outnumbered the nasty ones. When I was still a trainee stewardess, my mentor actually hand written a 5-pages long note for me to review. How nice was that.
When I was a junior crew, many many people will ask about my well-being, am I adapting well, did I had enough to eat, asking me to eat first. I am really grateful to all the nice people I met along my way.
I did have bad times too. Many will see that I have a "P" beside my name and will start picking on me for no rhyme and reason, but I did not take it to heart. I will always apologise with a sincere attitude and that's why my flying life had been rather smooth-sailing.
It is my first job afterall and also my "ambition" since young (rather bimbotic), so I'll be lying if I said I am not at all sad about leaving SQ.
But life is not all about playing (SQ offers a very fun and relax lifestyle). Its about responsibility, satisfaction and moving on. I'm 24 now. If I did not try to leave SQ I'll be stuck in this "holiday job" for as long as I work. I was thinking maybe I can meet a rich guy and marry him so I dun have to work. But working and earning with my own capabilities is what I really want in life.
I do not want to be dependant on my husband for money. In that way I will have to relay on him. And in this days, nobody is trustworthy enough (except your own parents) to let you be dependent for life.
Time really passes so quickly. Everything is almost like a dream. My acceptance into SQ, my training period, my probation period, my breakup, my exit from SQ. I had a very good dream.
This part of me will always be a memorable tale to tell my children and grandchildren, even though its only a short short period of 3 years.
I have not give up on my interest in travelling. I will always love travelling. But I'll be a passenger the next time I fly. =)
Jia you! Jia you!
