overall it was OK..but I had an op like over 10yrs ago so doctor ask me to go find the discharge letter from the hospital...hmm, she also wrote me a memo to get it from the hospital records. I went and paid $80 for it to retrieve it..but they said they need like about 1mth, coz it's a 10yr old case! So long! well, I will be going home to search my whole place...coz by right, my training starts on the 19th Aug!!!

@lina192

hmm, i would think its not considered as a min requirement to them...becos they need a certified diploma from a tertiary school and not a diploma in the interests you have. :)

Actually it's not unfair cos they must make sure Foreigners must have a good level of English and hence, a degree is essential for applicants :)

it's at Paragon shopping centre @ Orchard...which is next to Lucky Plaza.
Then the Lift Lobby is all the way at the back...on the left...it's called Medical Lift Lobby

It's already packed before the clinic opens in the morning so you might wanna go at 820am...or about 145pm because the clinic closes from 1-2pm for lunch break.

Hope it helps!
hey slimslee, thanks for sharing.. btw, what do they check during the medical? and do you get to know on the spot whether you're physically fit for the job or do they send the blood/urine samples for lab test? thanks so much! =)

hey babe, they don't tell you on the spot, the results are actually confidential and sent to SIA. there's height and weight, eye-check, x-ray, urine test, doctor check-up and the doctor checks for flat-foot too. there's no blood test. the results of the medical are immediate. :)
SIA ♥♥

Don't worry, you can try again cause you already know you have what it takes as you made it through the management round. Maybe you should ask your friends if they see anything wrong when you walk and try to correct it from there:) Let's not give up and try again:))
hello TKWS, just wanna ask some stuff about the medical. why did you fail did you know? are you going to try again?

coz i'm thinking whether i should try out as a cabin crew, i'm a wee bit deaf in one ear i think, and some more it looks pointy, haha.

there was a hearing test right? what did they ask you to do?

question for CC trainees: do we need to tie our hair into a bun when going down to sign bond? or is it okay to let the hair down?

Hi vessy :) I failed cause my blood pressure was a little high at that time. There wasn't any hearing tests if i'm not wrong. I think you can go try it out cause you'll never know. Then you'll not regret right? Don't give up, unless they tell you not to go :) FYI, i'll be trying my luck again after sometime.
