My new job

 5th - 30th September 2016 | Changi Airport

It's a Tuesday & it's 2am. But I would like to update about my month. (& meanwhile my wet hair is still air drying from my shower..)

September had been a brilliant month for me. I have met 6 other fabulous bunch in my batch and we're called Tango 9. I entered the class on the first day, not expecting to be close to anyone but I thought wrong. I know it sounds cheesy and all but we're the perfect fit together. hahahaha, it's true really. With different backgrounds, nationalities, age group and language, they're the most dynamic group I have ever met.

Below are some of my favourite moments during our one month training at work :') 

This was on our second day where we had to learn about grooming
 We had a combined class with staff from other jobs like the shop and dine, ishop..etc. They were a really cool and fun bunch!
 Such a great bunch! The aunties and uncles are volunteers from RSVP.  They shared some incredible stories to us during introduction. Such wonderful people.

As you all already know, I got a job in Changi Airport. I don't wish to list my job position to avoid being searched online though you may ask me elsewhere. My main role is to basically provide services over the information counter or rover around with an ipad to help lost passengers. Why I joined this? Here's my bimbotic answer: I like the uniform. Yes, once upon a time as I was strolling around in changi airport, I pointed out to my mum that I wanted to work 'in that uniform'. & here I am.

For this job, regardless of part-time or full time, we all had to undergo a one month training following office hours in business formal wear everyday. I felt like the whole office hours and grooming part were the hardest for me. I generally don't really like working office hours as it drains me a lot more. After we learned about our grooming standards on the 2nd day, we had to stick to it for the rest of the month. This meant hair and makeup. It was not hard to do the grooming though it was kinda daunting to be doing all the blending and contouring so early in the morning.

On top of the grooming we had to ace, we had our daily classroom classes and the overload of information on a daily basis. There is so much to know and learn really. With school and my other job, I honestly had little to no time to study for work. Though I did somehow managed to score pretty well for the final test without studying considering how I'm usually the kind that always fails when I don't study. Quite proud of myself for that. 

I also had very little social life last month. Had to reject so many plans from people cause I was too busy (& tired). From office hours work to night classes to working at uss to uni project meetings. Therefore I'm quite happy that the training month is over and I can finally work in shifts and only 3 times a week. I am less busy now (though still quite busy) with more time to myself and for school. I am able to hit the gym more and sleep more. Perhaps when it nears the end of this month, I'll be more busy studying for my upcoming exams for next month. 

All in all, I would say that September had been a really great month for me and meeting so many new people. 

The training in a nutshell: fun/stressful/headpain/happy/leceh/expensive/notimeforanythingelse/butthankful

I think I'll end my experience on the training here. Work itself had been pretty good as well. I think I've been blessed to work with nice colleagues and got deployed at the lucky counters. So it hasn't been too hard yet. Though still so much to learn. 


& also, on a highly separate note, I will be updating about my Japan Trip really soon. It'll probably be up within a few days to next week. So keep a look out for that. Hopefully, I'll be able to be consistent on my posts.

My hair is finally dry. Till then, good night my family and friends.
