Recyclin papers are 1 of the first few things they inform us of, durin trainin, apart from cleanin toilets! *Hee* for a minute, I thought I maybe able to get my answers from you. Wonder if there are really gals who had successfully crossover, cos for the past few months of SQ interview, I had never failed to spot a few MI gals turnin up for the interview too. I gotta admire your spirit lor, I never want to be stationed overseas, away from people and my home that I had known all my life. Tis SQ route that I had chosen to take maybe tough, and somewhat impossible to be successful, I can't convince myself to give up without a fight either. Haiz!
Anyway, how's life in Dubai? Good shoppin, entertainment and weather?
Just a couple of months before I left, they had an opening for internal transfer. It is only open to those who have served over 3 years of service with MI. So yeah I heard of a few senior crew and SFSS going over to SQ.
I was actually thinking that I would have gone home even before my first week was over but I'm getting used to it now. So I guess I'm pretty much settled down now.
I prefer shopping back home, especially for electronics coz that's the only place I know where the sales rep knows what they are talking about. Even my trainer said the same thing. She's a Purser onboard who trains part-time.
Entertainment, I can't give much details coz I'm not the person who party but crew gets a lot of discounts and free drinks from different bars and clubs.
Weather, it was freezing when I reached here a month ago. It gets hot every now and then since last week so summer is suspected to be here really soon.
But my experience in training has been good so far. It's surreal to be working with people from different parts of the world. I'm the only S.E Asian in my class. How kewl is that?
