My Lucky Day ( Part II ) ---- Thank You Singapore Airlines!

I know, i promised to tell the story on Monday but something came up so, i just can't tell u what's the luckiest thing happened to me last Saturday. =) . So today I'm very determine to finish up the story. hehehe.

Oke, first, i would like to slap my self (again) because i really can't believe that it's happening to me. hahaha.

Ever heard of Singapore Girls?? How beautiful and elegant they are?? I believe they are the most identifiable  air hostess. Well, well, i'll join them soon! yehaa! but before i can join them, 2 things should be oke. *please pray that everything will be oke*
1. My medical check up
2. My S pass (a pass to work in Singapore)

Looking great, isn't she?

How was the lucky day start?? Anyway, it is my dream to become a air stewardess one day. I've tried for MAS; twice got into final round but the result still "ur application was unsuccessful". I was like going to gave up the job oredi but then suddenly a friend encourage me to have a try in Singapore Airline's interview which will be held on 21st August. I was at 1st hesitate to go but then, syafeeq told me that "why not give it a try. Maybe it's ur rezeki..." . So, with full of spirit n encouragement from people around me, i finally arrived at Park Royal Hotel at 845am. Honestly, i didnt expect this would be a place that will witness a dream that come true. :D

Should i tell the details on how the interview process was?? I should? are u serious? oke2, i will..hehe.

1st round: It was 2 to 10 interview. Oh, ofkos its 2 panels and 10 candidates. I'm dead la if it was vice versa. hhohoho. They asked us to tell a simple thing about ourselves and tell them A NEW DESTINATION that SIA should fly to and why. Note that NEW word. There are some candidates gave a destination already in SIA destination. Doesn't they understand  the question? Hm...i think maybe that's the reason why are they not selected. So, only 5 (if i'm not mistaken) was selected to next round.

2nd round: Documents, height and weight check. I passed it all! height to be:158cm. Then, i was called for skin check. They check my forehead, skin, hands and the way i walk. I just chin up, and walk. Rite after skin check, they will still eliminate people. In this round, they didn't check my leg. The lady asked me whether i have any visible tattoos. So, girls and guys, dun u ever dare to tag a tattoo on ur skin if u wanna be an air stewardess/steward. =)

3rd round: Game round. In group of 8, we were split into 2groups. The game  we played was "memory game". There are about 24 UNO cards place on the table. And we have to flip that card, find 4 match. The 1st group got 4 pairs, win. I dunno what's the purpose but i think there'll be mark given during this round and wanted to see how well we can work in group. hmp..anyway, my group lost in the game. hahaha! blame that girl who flip the cards slowly. ;p

4rd round: 1 to 1 interview. It's only a simple interview asking a lil bit about myself and asked me to read a passage. Oh no, 2 passages actually. Then, the panel asked me to solve a situation based on the passages that i've read. Only a simple situation.The purpose maybe; to see how strong ur teamwork is and u deal with passengers on board. My situation was; a lady wanted to use the lavatory but it's dirty. By that time, u're going to serve drinks to passenger. How would u solve the situation? ----tips: try to have as much team spirit inside u, and u'll find that this situation is really simple. =)

5th round: Kebaya fitting. Yeay! this is the most interesting part. Love it. I"ve made a few friends during the interview. We tried the kebaya together and took our picture in that kebaya. hehehe.During this session, we were given 5min to fit into SIA's uniform and back to her. She checked my forehead, hands (until elbow), my back (to see any visible scars or tattoos), and my both leg until knee. I dunno whether there will still have elimination during this session since none in my group fail. =) . Believe me, it's very exciting to fit in that Singapore Girls' Kebaya. ehehehe. ;)

6th round: The FINAL round. We were grouped into 4. Inside there, just a simple question and a session like debate. My group, we have topic : which one is better; health or money?  We were split into two. Me n Kitt (she's a new friend that went into all round together with me) have to give out points on money. There was some passage reading too. The final interview with management flow goes like this:

1. Introduce your friend who sit next to you (so, loose ur mouth to chit chat with the rest of ur group while waiting to be call into the room). Luckily, i was with Kit which I knew her from the very 1st round.
2. Debate
3. Reading a passage.

After 10 - 15 minutes, we finished the final round and wait outside for the result.
After 5minutes waiting,SIA's representative standing in front of us with papers in his hand.
" I will call the unsuccessful candidate only...Mr A, sorry, but u r not selected. Three of you, congratulation! U may wait inside for the briefing on bond and employment". As soon as i hear the CONGRATULATION word, i was like "oh my! I got in!". My heart bumping and my feet was not step on the ground anymore! I love u Singapore Airlines. They inform me on the same day and the best part is, they finished up the interview just in a day. Call it my terrifically LUCKY day! 

A tips for those u wanna try out next time: Put ur smile all the way even when u read the passage. ;)
 yeay!
*picture from google*

I was then, step into a room where, the bonding briefing held and filling up necessary form. All things finished at 430pm. I stepped out from Royal Park with my big smile. ^^

I was asked to start my duty on 28th September 2010 and will depart from KL to SG on 21st September 2010. Well, honestly, I'm kinda worried to start a new life in SG. I have nobody there.huhu. My  family wont be there...my syafeeq too...if i fall sick, who will take care of me. If i have problems, who may lend a shoulder for me to cry on. Huhuhuhu~~

Anyone can gimme a tips on how to start a new life there. Pls help me...

BTW, thanks to everybody who support me...mwah!

p/s: sayang, i know u want me to go. I know, u know how bad i want this job but i just couldn't bear to be apart from u... T___T

Halo snowy!i'm soooo sorry cuz i dun have time to reply to ur comment. When i was at station (oversea), most of the time i was too tired to turn on my laptop. :(

Hi. I am a SIA cabin crew wanna be. Just wanna know if SIA medical check up also include blood test? What kind of medical check up it is? Thanks

.indah. said...

Hye there! Thanks for reading the blog. Yup, it include blood test and the medical checkup is just like a normal medical checkup. Xray, urine, lungs, etc... When are u coming? :)

Hi Indah. Thanks for ur sharing of ur stories. I actually went to SIA interview in Sgp last week. But I didn't pass the first stage. Kinda sad as i thought I have done enough research. And I really know SIA very well. They asked us to introduce our self and what's our favourite food. I don't know is it because I elaborate a bit much more? huh.. sad as I always wanted to get into this job. And shall we always keep eye contact with the rest of the candidates instead of keep looking at the interviewer? Or it's better just to look at the interviewer. I tried to keep an eye contact with both interviewers and other interviewees that time. Hope to hear from you soon..

hye Willbrad_0104-||-||!
well, i'm not too sure though what are they really looking for. but, one thing for sure, just keep things simple. like introducing urself. keep it simple. At least they can catch what u've been saying. keep your smile,and keep calm.

if you are seriously being one, please do ur best if u get in but if u join for the sake u wanna have free travel, then i guess you should have back up plan to fall back.

this job is not easy.seriously babe.

All the best anyway! :)
