TODAY: Kedah merupakan diantara beberapa negeri di bahagian Utara Malaysia ni, yang dilanda banjir yang telah disifatkan sebagai banjir terbesar dan terburuk yang pernah melanda, sejak 30 tahun lalu. (Or was it 17 years ago? Hurmmm...) Hari ini, air sungai makin menjadi² naiknye, menyebabkan beberapa kawasan penempatan ditenggelami air. Jalan² pon sudah mula di naikki air katanya. Diantara kawasan² yang disifatkan sebagai kawasan 'kesian' - Jitra, Anak Bukit, Titi Gajah, dan belah² dalam pendalaman Kedah itiew.

Siang tadi, around before noon, mek gi la airport nak settlekan hal tickets clients mek and also nak beli for me and Aizul also (yes, we're leaving for Bangkok this Friday). On the way to the airport di Kepala Batas itiew, kami lalu la jalan Anak Bukit - Titi Gajah. Aiyoh. Sangat kesian u ols. (Sayangnya mek dinch snappy² pics) Barang² dah berada kat tepi² jalan dah, semua orang berdiri penuh sesak nih, terpacak macam terkejut, tgk banjir yang begitu buruk pernah berlaku in such a long, very long time. So lepas tu, waktu nak balik dari airport tu pulak, mek tgk, makin teruk ok! Dan petang nih, comfirm, MEMANG TERUK keadaan banjir itiew.

Salah seorang dari ratusan (can I say ribuan?) mangsa banjir ni (can I say banjir kilat ah?), merupekan ahli tagboard chatters mek, iaitu Zack@Mamy... Kita ikuti perbualan mek bersamanye dalam phone...

"Hello..." mek memulakan bicara...

"Haaaa u ols!!! Mek penaaaaaaaaaaat u ols pindah²kan barang² rumah mek ke tingkat atas u ols!!! Mek penat!!!"

"Haaaa! Semalam ko macam gampang kang mulut. Dok mintak umah banjir sangat supaya tak yah gi keje kan? NAH! Masin sungguh mulut hang kan! Mek simpati!"

"Laaaa... semalam tu mek dah tau la. Kire hari nih bila mek bangun pagi, mek ingatkan mek mimpi basah. Rupanya kain pelekat mek basah sebab rumah dah banjir u ols..." hanjeng sangat alasan Zack Mamy kan!? Hehehe...

Sambungnya lagi... "Tak per u ols. Mek kira bersyukur alhamdulillah adik bradik mek semua selamat, barang² mustahak pon semua slamat, mek tak pi keje pon SELAMAT! Mek call boss mek cakap mek tak leh pi keje sebab banjir, terus dapat cuti seminggu..." Hanjeng kan? CUTI SEMINGGU katanya!

Tapi memang betul u ols. Kawasan Zack@Mamy memang antara kawasan² yang teruk di daerah Kota Setar u ols. Mek memang terkujat. Air di sungai, aiyoh! TAHAP MERBAHAYA sangat! Rumah mek? SO far, alhamdulillah - ok sajo. Hopefully takkan banjir la kot kawasan rumah mek. According to mommy, our place, the last time dilanda banjir was in 1988, and that was the 1st and the last time our place dilanda banjir. Sebab kalau ikut architectural design and concept of my house, ala² kapal terapung u see. So ala² dinch akan dinaikki banjir, UNLESS REALLY² TERUKS. So 1988 was REALLY REALLY REALLY teruks.

Mek rase kalau keadaan masih teruk, esok mek nak kuar ngan Hazel, and Aizul, pi snappy² pics keadaan sekeliling serta mangsa² banjir... memang betul kata Zack@Mamy...

"You ols! Mrasalah waktu² banjir nih, boleh pi snap² pics abang² candiew yang duduk depan umah temenung tgk rumah tenggelam; mrasalah snappy mereka berkain pelekat! MRASA!"

Yes! Mek nak tgk kesahihan Zack@Mamy - adakah propahan lagi? *Mati la Hazel ketawa binatang setiap kali Zack@Mamy mempropahkan keadaan/ sesuatu. HEHEHE...

Dan oleh kerana mek sangat sedeh dan bersimpati dengan keadaan banjir serta mangsa²nya, adalah dengan itiew, mood mek pon tereffect katanya. Mood ape? Yer la. Mek terus kesiannnnnnnn kat mangsa² banjir itiew, sampai mek terus malaaaaaaaas nak update blog dan buat kerje² utk MEMBERS AREA (mati la mek kena marah dengan Sifu Apek! HEHEHEHE) Yes u ols. Mek trasa seperti, at times like these, mek perlu la bersama² sedeh di atas apa yang telah berlaku. Dan oleh kerana itiew, mek rase, dalam keadaan sedeh² nih, tak elok laaa mek nak update blog, dan buat segala work for Members Area yang coming soon itiew (AIYOH! ALASAN boleh dipakai ke itiew? LOL!) Tapi sah sah reason sebenarnye ialah MALAS, kan? HAHAH dan also, mek dalam mood bercuti dah nih; this coming weekend mek nak ke Bangkok kan - mrasa lah mek gumbira sampai terus no mood nak update blog (Alasan ni, CAN USE also meh? Ke tak leh? MALAS JUGAK LA REASON YANG VERY SESUAI, kan? Hahahah!)

Will update about this banjir situation from time to time ya... meanwhile... Ironic isn't it... 25/26th Dec last year, Tsunami. 19th/ 20th DEC THIS YEAR, the tragyc banjir of the century? Eee... seram kan? Tu la dia - kuasa NYA. Sekali dia nak "kasik", nahhhhh!

Ok ok - so after PART 1 yang mek buat hari tu, RAMAI telah salah paham; heheeh - ade juge some hamba Allah yang kurang paham dengan entry itiew, dan tidak menyedari bahawasanya entry itiew was one of my PAST TENSE entries katanya. Hiks! DINCH U OLS! Dinch perlu meng-congratulasikan mek sebab mek dapat masuk MAS. Aiyoh - that congratulasi was supposed to be said 6 years ago! LOL!!!

Ok ok - enuff about nak mengklarifikasikan keadaan - lets move on to PART 2; and dalam part 2 ni, mek akan citerkan panglaman mek waktu mek pi interview for air crew utk second airline di negara kite iaitiew, Air Asia. Hehehe...

Haaa kali ni, mek recalled clearly the date was December 4th, 2004; or was it December 14th? Hurmmm. Memana sajo la. Nih pon mek telah diinformkan oleh bebudak KJ/ Puchong, kalau harapkan mek, harammmm tak tau pong! LOL!

It was somewhere around 8 plus kot, mek dosi sampai ke Parkroyal KL katanya for that interview. Harapan mek, tak der lah ramai sangat ex crew MH yang akan datang for this interview, selain dari geng² KJ/ Puchong itiew. So bile mek sampai, tak der lah ramai orang sangat pon. TENEEEEEEEEETTZZZ! Wrong! Interview registration started at 9am, by 8.45am, NAHHHHHHHHHHH! SEGEROMBOLAN ex MH crew members datang for the interview! MEK SENTAP! Mati la chances mek nak lepas, sebab yang datang tu majority seniors² mek - harus la depa lagi berpanglaman katanya kan? Tapi tak per - mek tetapla gigih mencoba... Met couple of friends yang dari MH, ade juniors mek pon ade yang datang for the interview. Mrasalah semua dah meluat dengan MH dan mau cuba nasib dengan AK - dgr khabaran, AK bayaq gaji crew lagi meriah!? Hehehehe...

The usual scenario happened; 9am, meja registration dibuka. Mrasalah berbaris, pastu daftar nama, and then ukur berat and ketinggian katanya! Dah lepas tu, proceed ke meja seterusnya, submit academic qualification certs and other documents; and lepas itiew, mrasalah menunggu dalam bilik menunggu katanya. But one thing yang berbeza dengan MH punye interview, AK punye interview siap ade sessi kaler kaler u ols! Diaorang kasik gambar AK's B737 aircraft, pastu, mrasalah lukis². Sebelom masuk interview 1st Round, mrasalah kena duduk dan mengaler katanya. Lepas tu, isikan borang apa tah dengan your particulars and stuff, and lepas submit, kena amik gambar katanya. I mean, these AK staffs will snappy² you pics.

And lepas itiew, the usual "KENA TUNGGU" la sampai nama anda dipanggil katanya for the 1st round interview. Mek ingat lagik, lepas masuk bilik interview tu, mek tak tau la, how to say - tgk candidates lain, mek rase, mek stand a high chance kot? HAIYOH! Confidensi tahap cipan dah nih! LOL!

Ok so, ape diaorang tanya? BIASA LA NOQ! The usual... "TELL US MORE ABOUT YOURSELF" katanya lagi. Mek dah naik MUAK dah dengan soklan cam nih tau. So apa lagi, mula la mek potpetpotpet pasal mek mek mek and pasal mek! Yang penting, kawan mek yang duduk bilik interview SEBELAH ponnn boleh dengar suara speaker gampang mek yang kuat itiew, sampai menjejaskan konsentrasinya utk diinterview katanya - SUDAH! Alasan! HAHAHA...

So apa lagi depa tanya? Ermmm - tu sajo katanya! KEJAP sangat ok interview itiew. Belom sempat mek nak feeling kasik ucapan RATU, dahhhh dikatanya "THANK YOU... YOU MAY WAIT OUTSIDE" katanya - MEK SENTAP! Hehehehe...

But it wasn't long before the results of the first interview came out and yes, Alhamdulillah - mek seors sajo dalam group berlima tu yang dapat pi ke Second Round cum final round katanya, which was held a week later, kat KLIA. Ramai jugak kengkawan meks dari MH yang dapat ke second round itiew. But kengkawan dari Puchong mek, erm... tak ramei yang dapat... what to do? Dinch ade nasib kot? Lagipon, depa tgh cari yang experienced ex crew members to join. So, mrasa la ex ex crew MH nih yang majoritynye dapat. HEHEHE..

And so, seminggu mek nunggu, maka, tiba lah hari second round interview itiew. Mek ingat lagik, kengkawan meks yang semua beriya² siapkan mek pagi tu, siap menghantar mek ke KLIA lagi, teman mek for the interview. Terharu sekejaps mek jadiknye. Bile sampai sajo, kena tunggu kul 10am kot, baru interview bermula.

It started off ala² semua candidates kena duduk dalam satu bilik, introduce yourself, and your partner (the person yang duduk sebelah u ols la) and vice versa. Ala² ice breaking la gittiew. And then, ade group work, and stuff, dimana kite kena solve a question and stuffs like that la kot. Mek pon dosi ingat² lupe dah. Dah selesai part 1 tu, baru le interview one on one with the interviewer. Pun begitu, mek rase 2nd round one on one interview nih, very informal sangat. Biasa lah AK, depa tak nak formal² sangat kan, which is good sebab the way I see it, bile u boleh tunjuk ur natural way of communicating, then they would know that you would fit the job sebab nak jadik crew AK, you kena jadik all natural in your communication, dinch perlu formal² bagai. Treat your passengers like your friends, and with respect in mind. Sebab tu depa punye crew semua ceria² alam. HEHEHE!

And so, ala² dedekat tgh hari juger lah, baru nak habis round 2 itiew. And so depa cakap, they will call IF mek dapat jadik crew AK katanya. Tunggu pi tunggu mai, HARAM tak call pong. Kengkawan mek yang lain, dah ADO dah yang diminta report for duty katanya (training)!!! Mek sentap! NAMUN, on the day mek balik AS, they finally called and cakap mek telah diterima masuk. Chit! Hanjs tau!

Atas dasar² tertentu, I had to reject the offer... Apa kes? Well - adddddddde la. Anyways, that's beside the point of this entry. Dalam entry nih, mek hanya nak citerkan hal pengalaman mek waktu ke interview Air Asia... So with that, dah la kan, HABIS! THE END! HEHEHEHE...

Hey u ols... wassup!?

Yeap - it's one of those boring Saturdays when you have to pull yourself together, out from the comfy slumber bed, and head to the office. Hiks! Dah la hari nih hujan dari semalam saaampai la now - so very der sejuks one, so very der sedaps semilut, eh, selimutkan badan dan gadabooomm zzzzz,.... kan? Tapi, what to do - kerejs is tetap kerejs katanya. Hehehehe...

Nihhhh la ghupernya how semak my office room is - yang penting, ado nampak tak lunchies mek? Hiks! Teringattt makan kat depan Wisma FAM KJ dengan Volks dulu. Hehehehe...

Well, nothing much dari mek, just nak update couple of stuffs dalam my currentl life. Hiks... first and foremore, pasal life itself. Been VERY busy, and I do mean, VERY busy with work. Hujung tahun, people dapat bonus, cuti sekolah coming to its end, Xmas coming, New Year 2006, aiyoh! Memang busy ok. Mana lagik dengan reservation, purchasing flight tickets, mana lagik dengan nak renew agent's contract rates with 1001 hotels around Malaysia, dengan tour itiew ini - haiyoh! Memang tak menang tangan tau!

Nih pon mek baru sampai balik ke pejabat. Mek gi jumpe client mek yang just arrived in AOR for 3 days 2 nights stay here... (Client = Ary... *Winks at Volks - parentsnye si Ary itiew macam serious sajo? Hiks! They liked the hotel - **Double winks at 5thE - yeap, they're staying at the same hotel yang u ols and Prof duduk dulu tu, SAME ROOMS somemoreeee tau! Hehehe!)

Pastu, since mek tau mek takkan kuar lunch with either Hazel ke, Mamy Zack ke, CA yang kat KL ke, Aizul ke sape ke, mek terus mengorder lunch kat hotel itiew utk ditapau balik. NAH!!!! Nih la lunchies mek!

Ini lah dia lunchies mek yang ala kadar itiew - Nasi Goreng Kerabu Regents Hotel katanya... extra pedas! Hehehe...

Now setelah seleseiii makan, mek terpaksa la nak sambung balik kerej. Sambil² itiew, mrasalah update blog! HIKS!

Moving on to the next agenda in my life - Love Life. HEHEHE - NO KOMEN ***Tripple winks kat kW! HEHEHEHE - Too soon to tell anything and everything sedangkan it's like, NAN ADO anything pon! LOL! Yang penting, am not tooooo keen la nak go-desperados. Kalau ado, ado la... Kalau nan ado, nan ado lor! HEHEHEHE. Ade tu, memang ade. But like I said, too soon to tell anything.

Aside dari itiew semua - semuanya mek rase ok sajo kot. Upcoming travelling; Hadyai next week, New Year (either AS or KL), then 2nd week Jan, off to BALI, then end of Jan, ke Bangkok and Chiang Mai/ Chiang Rai... so it looks like mek memang akan busy busy busy nanti - tapi tak der lah sampai mengabaikan blog, OOPPS!

Tu ajo la kot... nan ado much to tell about my boring life except, well erm... ish... nan ado lah! LOL! Nantikan entry update petang dan malam karang.
INSYAALLAH kalau wabak MALAS tak menjelma, ado la entrynya. KALAU mek diserang penyakit malaun MALAS, mrasalah NAN ADO! LOL!!!

Why do I have this feeling entry ini persis diary mek sajo?

Hiks! Pernah tak u ols experience bebende cam ni?

"Laa... Hie Amin! Lamer tak jumpe ko?? Sihat ke?"

"Er... ok jer..."

"Tul ke? Hish kau, business makin rancak... bla bla bla bla bla..."

Dalam hati Amin (mati la CDH - Carut Dalam Hati), "Er... WHO ARE U!?"

OR

"Hello?..."

"Hello! Wei, Wannie! Jom tgk wayang? Lama seyyy tak keluar dengan kau. Dah nak dekat setahun lebih?"

Dalam pikiran Wannie (mati la CDO - Carut Dalam Otak), "Excuse me? Who the **** are u?"

OR

xxxguykl: Hie

Me_Myself_and_I: Hie. ASL pls?

xxxguykl: Ape ASL ASL ni? Ko tak kenal aku ke? Per la ko ni...

Me_Myself_and_I: Owhhhhh... (CDirc - Carut Dalam irc) - "Who???"

Tu belum me kasik example dari emails ke ape ke, kan? So, penah tak? Mek selalu ok! Orang datang tegur bagai, yang mek pon layan la sembang. Tapi tetap CDH dan CDO - "HELLO!? Like, wanna start the conversation by tell me who the hell are u?" Gittiew...

Apa masalahnye sampai kite jadi tak kenal dengan orang yang datang bertegur sapa dengan kite itiew? Banyak faktor pendorongnya u ols. Like, erm, ok - contoh la. Me. Last time me keje with airlines, kan? And mek jumpe 1001 macam orang dalam masa seminggu kalau mek keje (kalau offdays, mrasalah mek hanyak tgk muka katil mek sajo! LOL!). So, ok. Dah la mek kena buat banyak keje, dah tu, tgk pulak pelbagai jenis rupa dan ragam manusia, sometimes my otak yang sediakala lembab ni, LAGI la lembab nak keep up to date dengan rupa and/or nama orang. Sebab tu kadang² mek pon jadi macam blur smacam sajo. Bukan kekwat, *hiks! Bukan CDH la!*, tapi, mek macam terpikir; where did I meet this fella la ek? Hmmmmm...

And sometimes bile bende cam nih terjadi, dua bende yang boleh berlaku; from our side la kan. 1, ialah, kite brani mampos mencelahtanya...

"Sorry... yeah, erm, before we go on, one q - sapa kau!?"
Hehehe... and satu, kalau respond yang baik, the person will terus ingatkan otak berkarat u ols tu. Tapi kalau satu lagi cara ni, ehehe,... orang yang kita soal tu, mungkin terkecik hati la kan. Dia ingat kat kau tapi kau piuler dinch ingat dia. But of course he cannot blame u la kan. U have ur reasons.

Kadang kala itiew, we won't ask the person terus. Sometimes kite tanya orang lain to find out about the person yang u dont know siapa itiew, kan? And bile kite tak dapat tahu siapa dia, tapi kite NAK LAA sangat tau, dari pening² terus jadik tensi... kan? Macam, seriously - mek nak tau sangat sapa Hajime itiew, tapi, asiklahhhh tak dapat nak figure out. Sentap sangat dia tau A-Z about mek and my friends and my past tense life, tapi for me to ingatkan dia sape, hanya lah dengan the letter "R" sajo yang dikatanya sebagai Abang "R" - "R" who? Raja? Raziff? Razman Farah Begum? Raihan? ROBIN HOOD!?!?!?

Cara ke 2, ialah, kite brani mampos and do nothing about it. Ada kalanya some people couldn't  be bothered pon.

Kalau sembang depan² dan dinch kenal... "Layan sajo!".

Kalau sembang on the phone dan dinch kenal pon siapa on the other line tapi orang on the other side kenal u ols, "Sembang sajo! Bukan mek yang call dia. Mrasalah bill dia yang naik!" sambil cabut susuk. HAHAHA...

Kalau ade orang chat dalam irc like dia kenal kite and we tak kenal dia, mrasalah click IGNORE - opps!

What I am trying to say here is that, bende cam lagu ni, boleh berlaku anytime anywhere anybody pon boleh mengalaminya. Tapi, bagi pihak yang DOING this, maksud mek, macam, dia kenal kite but kite ingat² lupe pasal dia... TOLONG la ubah perangai² berikut...

Kalau dok chatting tu - bila orang dah tanya siapa dia, tok sah la dok main teka teki suruh kami yang blur tak tau bende nih meneka. Meneka² cam tu, won't lead you to nowhere. Silap² hari bulan, orang yang u suka tu, tapi dia tak kenal sangat u sapa, and u refused to terus terang cakap u ols tu siapa, like "Teka la...", "Lor... tak ingat ke? Cuba ingat² balik..." OR "Ala... I dulu dengan u. Nama I "N"???" - itu semua, mek kasik pesan + warning; UBAH LA SIKIT ATTITUDE TU! Nak sangat orang kenal dia sape, or at least remember dia sapa - tapi bile orang tanya, nak berteka teki, APA KES!?

Kalau bersembang, tak kire lah on the phone ke, face to face ke; kalau muka orang yang kite kenal tu ala² menunjukkan sign muke dia blur tak kenal kite, TAK SALAH kalau kite cuba ingatkan dia about us. Ni tak, kadang² tu, dah prasan dah muka orang tu macam... "Kau nih siapa ek?" tapi kite ASIK LAH dok continue potpetpotpet... Apa la salahnye kau cakap "Tak kenal ek? Meh nak ingatkan... Ingat tak dulu... bla bla bla bla" ingatkan orang tu sampai dia ingat. Kalau tak ingat jugak, well at least, you've tried... :)

Tah lah - mek ade point jugak pasal kes nih tapi mek tak tahu nak deliver cam mana lagi without hurting perasaan orang. So, kalau 'orang tu' baca entry nih, MANO NYE EMAIL YANG DIJANJIKAN? Memang betul cakap some ppl... "ORANG TU" sengaja nyakat mek dalam TB. Kang mek panggil LALAT, marah? Kalau dah betul, cuba explain and let me ingat u ols siapa. Ini tak, berteka-teki bagai, saje nak timbulkan speku - tak paham la!

What on bloody earth is MH and AK? Hiks! Jikalau u ols FEEEEELING nak jadik crew kan, kena lah tahu... MH stands for Malaysia Airlines, and AK stands for Air Asia. Hiks! Kalau dok fly as penumpang, takkan tak prasan those two, MH and AK? Hehehe unless, you never fly with MH or AK la kan... SQ ke? *sambil jeling kat Nasik... Oppss!

Anyways... dalam entry nih, mek akan menceritakan sedikit sebanyaks tentang itiew interview sessions yang mek dah lalui with MH and AK. Entry nih memang mek dah budget nak buat, tapi, sebenarnye mek terlupa nak include dalam the previous entry yang pasal "Sapa nak jadik airline crew!" itiew. Thanks to this Tany yang menginatkan mek!

Halo Lea, I nie kira frequent visitor kat u punya blog, suka sgt baca entry u esp yg involve ngan cabin crew. Ten q cuz buat entry advice nie pasal interview cabin crew.. mmg berguna. Tapi lagi best kalau u boleh cerita pasal pengalaman masa interview.. yelah, kalo ader yg nak gi interview MAS, nak tau jugak kan aper nak expect.. aper diorang tanya, aper u kena buat kat interview stage 1 sampai akhir... :D

So here we go - mek akan citerkan panglaman mek semasa mek went for MH crew punye interview; dan sebagai sessi tambahan (part 2), mek akan also citerkan panglaman mek waktu mek gi interview utk AK crew, lepas mek dosi habis contract dengan MH katanya.

Part 1 - MH Crew Interview

The day, Saturday. DATE? Wallahua'lam - mek dosi lupa katanya. Tapi, I recalled arriving dekat MAA (Malaysia Airlines Academy) KJ itiew, very early. Mek sampai depan gate tu, bebetul at 8.00am. Katanya interview tu will start bukak for registering by 9.00am. So, mek sampai 8.00am, kire awal la kan? YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LAH! Nan ado awalnya! Sah² dah beratus dok menunggu kat sitiew. Katanya awal, ceh! Ade lagik awal dari mek. Ade yang mek dapat tau, sampai kat MAA itiew, 7.30am la... 7.00am la... (lagi awal dari tu, Wallahua'lam - tak tau la pulak mek. Maaana la tau kan kot² ado yang semangat waja, sampai sesudah subuh ke? Hiks! Jgn memain u ols. ADA tau! LOL!)

So anyways, sementara menunggu nak pi register itiew, mek isap² lah rokok ala² kat luar bangunan itiew, with some other candidates. Macam² gayo ado. Yang soft spoken ado, yang persis loud speaker pon ado. Yang malu ade, yang over ade, yang kekwat pun ade. Macam². Mrasalah mek menten biaso sajo, walaupun tetap ade aura kekwat katanya! LOL!

9.00am tiba - semua bergegas nihhh nak daftar. Waktu daftar, depa nak... Ingatkan balik. Ahhh yes. Depa nak Original and Certified copied of all education transcripts (yang wajib of course lah SPM kan), then apa² certs, mesti ade ori and certified copy, IC, gambar ukuran passport size (3 ke... or was it 5? hmmm...) - tu je kot? Yang tu jer mek ingat. So lepas dah daftar, diaorang suruh candidates berdiri dan depa ukur height katanya. Mrasalah ade dua tiga orang yang tak dapat teruskan perjuangan mereka hari tu, sebab tak cukup ketinggian katanya. So FS (flight stewards) - u need to be at least, 165cm kot. And for FSS (flight stewardesses) u ols must be at least 160cm. So once dah lepas amik ukuran tinggi, kiteorang proceed la ke waiting room (which was the ground floor cafe I think). Duduk pi duduk mai, sempat la mek buat kawan seorang dua. Zasttt ok, seorang tu LAWYER, sorang lagi manager petrol kiosk, sorang tu baru grad. Aiyoh. Mek gements. Yer la, mek also baru graduasi katanya, dinch lah ade panglaman as an accountant ke ape ke kan. So sembang pi sembang mai, tau² they called up semua, batch by batch. Satu batch dok ade dalam 5 ke 6 orang kot. Kalau guys, semua guys. Kalau girls, semua girls. Tak campur katanya! Hiks!

Then naik lah ke 1st floor, kena tunggu lagi. Tunggu la punya tunggu, tengok jam - laaaaaaaaa... dah noon!? Mrasalah depa (MAS people tu) suruh pi lunch pulak dah dulu. Katanya, lepas lunch sambung, BOLE? Hanjs tau. Turun la balik mek, ke cafe tu with my new friends tu semua, had lunch bagai. Lepas tu, by 2pm sambung balik tunggu luar bilik interview itiew. Then they finally called us in. Waktu tu sajo pon dah pukul beraps dah.

As we masuk the interview room, u ols jgn la tanya how was I feeling. THANK GOD I was wearing a seluar, yang mampu coverina lutut/ kaki mek yang shaky bagai nak gile. Tak tau kenape. Maybe because it was my 1st time interview kerje kot? And then, bermula la sessi interview itiew. Dalam that room, ade 2 orang sajo yang interview kiteorang in the 1st round ni. Seorang lelaks, by the name of Richard Goh rasenye, then Madam Theressa katanya. Hiks. Cantik sangat. Dua dua ex crew, now dah jadik management dah kot? Hmmm...

1st interview - so ape depa tanya mek? Well... depa suruh mek kasik a brief intro about myself. So mek pon, apo lagik, skipping Londong la. Skipping pi skipping mai (skipping = speaking!), then depa tanya a bonus q. Setiap orang dapat a bonus q, cuma berbeza la antara each candidate. Mrasalah each candidate dapat 2 soalan semuanya. 1 bonus q tu, 1 lagi standard q - "TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF" q. Hiks. So what was the bonus q?

"Would you choose to be smart or beautiful, but not both, which one would you choose and why?" LIKE, HELLO!? This is MAS interview not another Miss Universe q/a session! LOL! Ok ok! Seriously, mek ingat, this was the q...

"Do you mind cleaning toilets and picking up trashes on board?"

"An obligation is still an obligation. And cleaning toilets and picking up trashes, if that is part of the work, there's no 'Yes I would' or 'No I wouldn't'. So my answer would be, 'YES I WILL'..." sambil tersenyum katanya!

Hiks! Mek suke jawapan mek. Dinch propah ok. Sebab itu lah yang mek dah been getting myself ready for. And when mek nengok the interviewers buat muke slamber, mek macam CDH (carut dalam hati...) "MOTIF tak menunjukkan muka impressed ke? Tak tunjuk agreeing with me ke? Wasn't that answer a blast!? HAIYOH! Ke mek dah over?" - macam² u ols dalam kepala otak mek. Mek mengaku, sedikit worried that I wouldn't be able to continue in the next round. Mrasalah balik dengan muka bagai tempoyak basi!

Lepas dah habis, KENA TUNGGU LAGI katanya. Tunggu pi mai pi mai, ade lah dalam 15 minutes or so, a young guy came up to us (yang sama batch interviewed tadik tu la)... muka serious nih... mek dah cuak!

"First of all - thank you all for coming to this interview. For those yang tak berjaya, jgn putus asa. Cuba lagi ok. And for ******* (my name) and Fauzan (the Petrol Kiosk manager itiew), the two of you please proceed to room *** (room berape tah - mek dosi lupa); congratulations. You two have made it to the 2nd interview later."

AIYOH! Mek suke! Mek suke! Hiks! See, what I mean? LUCK plays an important role jugak. Mrasalah Lawyer tu, dah la candiew, badan sedap, English va va voom - tapi tetap dinch dapat, HOW? Mek bersyukur sangat waktu tu - terus called mommy nih cakap mek dapat 2nd round. Mrasalah my mom laser mek...

"Lerrr... menjerit macam dah dapat dah. Padahal baru lepas 1st round... apa laaa!"

Hhahahahahahaha kekwat nihhhh laser mek! LOL! Tak per tak per. Mek tarkik!

So again lah, as usual, kena tunggu lagi katanya. While waiting tu, dapat la kawan baru lagi katanya. Another 3 gus joined me and Fauzan for the 2nd interview. Sembang pi sembang mai, nahhh! Dah dipanggil masuk katanya. Mrasalah masuk also ke interview room itiew for 2nd round of interview, kali ni, 3 orang interviewers yang lain pulak. 2 cik perems, seors ciktan.

2nd interview nih, they started off by asking us the same q... "Tell us more about yourself - briefly please..."

So mek pon membebel lah itu ini itu ini - and then, dapat la soalan cepumas piuler.

"Why do you wanna join MAS? And please don't tell us silly grandmother stories like you wanna become ambassador for Malaysians la, or you wanna see the world as it is your childhood ambition la - tell us something more refreshing!"

MATI LA AKU! Soalan nih memang orang cakap famous la, memang akan ditanya kalau kena luck u ols dapat soalan itiew. So mek yang dah buat hommyworky, mek baru feeling nak bagi jawapan ini...

"The reason why I wanna join MAS is because I want to fulfill my childhood ambition, which is to be an air steward for Malaysia's national airline. And I also enjoy travelling very much, so by joining Malaysia Airlines, I get the chance to explore the world while I work and I also love to meet different types of people with different types of attitudes, cultures, background and etc."

TERUS TAK JADIK jawap cam tu katanya! LOL! Nak tahu apa jawapan mek?

"The one and only one reason why I wanna join MAS is simply because of the MONEY. I've heard that, not only it's glamorous when you become an air crew with MAS, but you will also get paid with good money..."

Hanjeng dak jawapan? LOL! Terus terang mek cakap, memang MONEY was like, one of THE MAIN reason. U ols tell me... mana nak carik keje, sebulan dua, gaji, RM2500++, with only SPM!? Mrasalah grads yang balik with Honors ke ape ke, SETAHUN KEJE pon tak tentu leh dapat RM2000 sebulan tau! Hiks!

Again - mek dapat feeling gementars siket. WHY? Tadik kan, 1st round, waktu mek confident jawap nih, depa buat muka toya, muka slamber kan? NOW, in round 2, mek nengok depa senyum, nodded and semua tu la - which mek automatically boleh agak "NAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! THAT'S IT! Habis la aku! Kalau depa buat muka slamber, MESTI mek dapat ke final round. Nih depa dok senyum sajo, AIYOH! HABIS LA AKU!"

Alih² - hiks! MEK DAPAT katanya ke finals! LOL! Betapa sukenye mek, dan mek dapat tau, dalam batch mek di second round tu, 3 orang dapat ke finals jugek. Tapi sayang Fauzan dinch dapat katanya. Dia dah tried for 4 times, and mrasalah tu percubaannye yang terakhir. Dia dah malas. Kesian...

OK so mek pulang dengan hati gumbira la jugek. They said they will call for the final interview (tu dulu punnyeee style. Sekarang mek dgr, all 3 rounds of interviews, SEMUA in ONE DAY! Bestnye!). So mek pun tunggu la (tunggu laaaaaaaaaaaagi katanya!) dan lepas seminggu, they called me up for the final interview. So mek pon ape lagi, beria² nih nak pi. And when the day finally arrived, MEK CUAK! MOTIF!? LOL!

So bile mek ke MAA hari tu for the finals, mek tgk, semua orang macam cuak semacam. So at least, mek tau, mek not the only one yang cuak. Hiks! So basically, bende yang sama jugak. Kena register nama (depa check la nama tu ado ke idak dalam listing depa) and kena bawak surat offer for the final interview katanya. Lepas tu, bende yang sama lagi. Tunggu laaaa dekat nak sparuh hari for the last round interview. And then, finally, the moment tiba. Kena panggil 3 orang sekali for the interview and this time, bercampur. Mek masuk dengan seorang perems melayu (cantiikkk sangattttt nak jadik crew katanya... hiks!) dan also seorang OC guy (orang Chinese - hiks!)

So masuk² saja, depa mintak tanggalkan kasut, bukak socks, pastu... tah? DEPA NAK TGK KAKI katanya. Haiyoh! Nak decide best legs ke? Keji kan. Yang penting madam tu tanya mek... "HOW COME YOU LEGS NO HAIR ONE?" E eh? Tak tau pulak requirements nye nak jadik air steward, kena ade bulu kaki lebat? Hanjs tau! LOL! Sampai now mek tak tau apa motif dia check kaki/ betis sampai ke lutut. Hari tu, MUJUR mek tak pakai sock hitam koyak mek tu. Kalau idak, naya ja malu! LOL!

And then, bermula la sessi interview itiew. Again this time, 3 orang yang interview. Katanya big bosses of many departments! Hiks! Mek seram sundel. 1st q, was the usual ice-breaking q... "Tell us more about yourself..." gittiew. Dan persis membaca script, mek pon potpetpotpet bende yang sama mek cakap waktu 1st round, and 2nd round - with additional scripts la here and there kan. Hiks. Pastu depa tanya the 1 soalan tambahan.

"Tell us one good reason why we should employ you?"

And mek jawab... with a smile yang mek rase sampai ke telinga dah... hiks!

"I have my heights, I have my looks, and I have my brains to go with it... "

And the guy yang tanya mek soalan tu suddenly jawab balik...

"Very arrogant answer! But I like it, and I like your attitude..."

AIYOH! Arrogant answer? Me being HONEST pon arrogant ke? Hiks! So which is which? Dia cakap dia LIKE my answer and my attitude tu, bebetul ke? Or saje je to make me feel condifent nak dapat position crew ni? Haiyoh! Mek cemas!

And so lepas tu - habis lah interview. Katanya these people will call me IF I dapat within 2 weeks. And KALAU no calls, mrasalah tak dapat! And baru jer mek nak bukak mulut tanya... dah dijawab segera...

"AND IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE OUR CALL WITHIN 2 WEEKS FROM TODAY, DON'T BOTHER TO CALL US..."

Cam mana itiew? Mana tau depa missed out my name ke? Buatnye mek sebenarnye dapat, tapi salah tang memana tah, depa missed out my name and didn't call, MRASALAH MELEPAS, tul tak? Hiks!

Tapi after one week sajo lepas final interview itiew, mek dosi dapat, BUKAN SKADAR the call, tapi also the offer letter!!! Mek suke mek suke! Syukkkuurrr Alhamdulillah katanya! Dan Mek lepas tu was required to attend the final stage, which was the medical check up. Usually kalau dah sampai ke Medical Check Up tu, you are like, 99% dah dapat the job. 1% tu ape? 1% tu kalau u ols TAK FIT to work as a crew lor - meaning, KANTOI la waktu medical check up itiew. Hiks! Again, Alhamdulillah, mek dosi lepas medical check up, and what's next? REPORTING FOR DUTY (training) lorrrr! HIKS!

Mrasalah nantikan my next entry (wallahua'lam la bile... hiks!) PART 2: Interview for AK Crew. It's basically the same - cuma, ade lah this and that yang berbeza siket if you wanna compare to MH punye interview. Hiks! Tak per, tu nanti mek citerkan nah? NOW mek dah habis entry nih, mek kepenatan menaip nih - SUDAHHHH!!! -n- LOL!!!

From: "Carlos Iskandar" (carlos_isqandar@yahoo.com) - Add to Address Book
Subject: Hi Carlos, I have...
To: lea_laurielle@yahoo.com


Hi Lea,
 
Please accept my apology for not contributing any entry lately.  Hey! Congratulation on your webbie, cool one.  I am glad that you decided to put up the webbie, good choice and decision.  It just that I'm not in the real state of mind that I want to be.  The reason being that about a month ago a very very close friend of mine calls and tells me that he has cancer.  I hope, I can share with you and your readers this story.
 
As a friend I am affected, because it will change the nature of my relationship. I feel powerless and helpless, wondering how to respond, how to assist.  These conflicting feelings may lead me to avoid my friend, beginning a terrible cycle of guilt or assumptions. "I haven't called or said anything in so long, he'll be upset with me if I do it now."  Whether a friend is ill or caring for someone who is, they may have to give up treasured activities, things we shared or did together.  They may have less energy, time, or even income.  All of these circumstances may spark many feelings such as sadness, anger, guilt or anxiety. Being a good friend during times of crisis is a great challenge.
 
I feel inadequate because I do not know what to say or even whether it is appropriate for me to say anything. Sometimes, I may honestly want to know how my friend is doing, but then wonder if how or should I ask.  I feel like if I say something it will bring up or create sad feelings.
 
I guess, when someone is experiencing illness, loss, or caring for another who is, he or she is always aware of it. So, it is best always to venture - to acknowledge and to offer opportunities for conversation. A simple, "I am sorry or how are you doing?" can convey my empathy, and show my interest and concern.  I have to recognize that sometimes, my friend as individuals will need to talk about the experience while other times he may wish to avoid addressing family, friends, loss, or illness issues.  At this moment I know that my friend would prefer a normal conversation.
 
When a friend has an illness, that person will struggle with many feelings. He or she may feel angry, guilty, sad or lonely. I know that he is experiencing fears and anxieties. "Will I get through the operation/medication?  How tough will it be? What will I have to struggle with down the line?" He is grieving the losses he has already experienced - losses of dreams, health, and perhaps even financial stability.
Friends, family or caregivers too, will struggle with difficult feelings. They may be anxious or fearful. They may feel burdened and resentful. They may feel guilty.  They, too, may experience that sense of loss of hopes, independence and security. They may face painful decisions about how to best care for the person or when they will cease curative treatment.
 
One of the greatest gifts that I can offer is a safe place for that friend to express and discuss fearful feelings. It is not enough just to listen, I need to respect and validate the feelings, fears, and sad thoughts.
 
Often, it seems easier to try and "fix" these feelings.  Saying things like "You need not be scared," "You shouldn't feel guilty," "Think of the good times." Can be well meaning.  However, these types of statements may only serve to discount the real feelings that my friend has and may isolate him further.
 
It is important for me to respect those fears, to understand that they are real and cannot simply be dismissed.  Rather than saying "You should not feel guilty, angry or afraid," let the person express those fears and feelings. "What makes you frightened" or "I understand you're angry," I have to allow my friend an opportunity to further explore his feelings.  It also provides him with space to decide what they need to do to best handle their reactions.
 
One of the most important things that I can do for my friend who is coping with illness or loss is to help in tangible ways. I know that, it is not enough to simply say, "Is there anything I can do?" A person living with illness, or caring for someone who is may be too stressed to consider how to help or get help.
It is most helpful to volunteer to do specific things. " Can I accompany you go to chemotherapy?"  or  "Why don't I come over for a dinner or a movie?"  Tangible acts such as cooking food, helping with chores, assisting in caregiving, can mean so much to my friend in crisis.  I wish I could be there to do this with him.
 
As we go through life, you and the people you care about will experience illness and other losses.  Challenges brought on by illness or loss affect not only the person who is experiencing it, but also family members, friends, co-workers and all who are touched by his or her life.
 
Yours sincerely,
carlos_isqandar

Another entry ala² panduan tips bagai bagi mereke yang interested... hiks!

Tak kire lah u ols, wanna be SQ (Singapore Airlines) crew ka, MH crew ke (Malaysia Airlines), Air India crew ke, China Airlines ka, aper² airlines sajo, mrasalah entry ni I HOPE sedikit sebanyak will guide u ols through as this entry will menyingkap kesah interviews² dengan airlines. Dan in this entry, ada la mek sentuh sedikit sebanyak on my pengalaman lepas waktu di interview dulu² itiew. What better way to write about this than to share sedikit lil' bit of info with u ols... HiKS!

Sebelum pi mana² interview pon, tak kire lah nak jadik air crew ke, crew Mc. Donalds ke, crew ape ke - memana interview keje pon, the basic things yang u perlu ade in you would be...

1. MINAT terhadap kerej yang u ols nak apply itiew...
2. Relevant infos pasal kerej itiew, background of the company, achievements and what not...
3. Depending on the nature of the job, kalau perlu u ols speaking Omputeh sesiket, better la brush up sesikit la kan with friends ke ape ke. Ala² communication skills itiew perlu ado katanya!
4. Pakaian nak pi interview yang bersesuaian utk pi interview itiew
5. Tahap kesihatan yang memuaskan
6. Konfidensi level u ols... ini mesti la ade siket biarpun tak banyak. Jgn dok ermmm uuu aahhhh ermmm hmmmm jer banyak! LOL!

1. MINAT terhadap kerej yang u ols nak apply itiew...
Nak apply memana kerje, kalau dinch ado minat, tak guna u ols apply. I mean, in this case, nak jadik sangat airline crew, kalau hadapkan duit dan getting the chance to travel the world, tapi hujung pangkalnya DINCH ADO MINAT nak melayan 300++ pax on board a B747 jumbo to London for 14 hours straight, then I have to say, TOK SAH dok apply! Some may say... "Ala... MINAT tu akan datang dikemudian hari..." Sapa yang brani mampos cakap cam tu, brani mampos jugak mek nak carut... "KEPALA TENGKORAK HANG!" Kalau dah minat tang $$$ dan travel ke hulu ke hilir, kalau dah BASIC RULE NUMBER ONE dinch ado, TAKKAN ADO nye la minat tu sampai u ols resign! Serious u ols. Kalau tak der minat as a front liner, nak melayan kerenah manusia yang 1001 bagai tu, I suggest, tak payah la u ols.

Dalam point nih, mek ade contoh. Seorang lelaki nih, minat nak serve passengers, nan ado. Yang ado, nak buat $$$ dan travel merata ceruk pelusuk donia sajo. In the end, service wise dia waktu dia dah jadik crew, was BEYOND SEDEH dan tak attentive langsung. Cincai bocai buat kerej, katanya..."Pedulik aper aku diaorang (passengers) puas hati ke tak puas hati ke... hujung bulan, duit masuk account Maybank aku - enjoy!" dan yer, bertahan lah dia dalam airline 3 bulan SAJO! Bukan sebab dia dapat complaint letters ke, ape ke - tapi he cannot go on with the work load dan terus resigned. See what I mean?

Dan another fine example la ek... seorang stewardess nih. Minat nak serve dia tu, ade. TAPI DIA MINAT NAK SERVE 1st class and business class passengers sajo, LELAKI saje ok! Dengan harapan, Mek tau apa harapannye. Dapat PANCING big shots and then kawin and hidup senang lenang kangkang goyang 'tuuuuuuuuuut' kat umah, duit jatuh melimpah ruah dan pi shopping sajo. THAT can happen KALAU u're lucky enuff to find one man who would be stupid enuff to take u la kan. And well, in her case, she tak jumpa that PRINCE CHARMING pon dan mrasalah lepas setahun plus kerej, dia tak tahan - in the end, ape dia buat? TAK PUAS HATI dan terus resign. APE KES!? Tu la dia kes kalau dah kerje minat cenderung ke arah lain, dan bukan atas niat dan minat asal bekerja as an airline crew member.

Serving people with different types of attitudes and coming from various backgrounds - I must say... this is NOT an easy job. TAPI, kalau dah ade minat, ok lah - boleh la survive sambil nyanyi lagu "I Will Survive" Gloria Gaynor itiew dalam galley. TAPI kalau minat tak dak, you feel pressured tau... hiks!

2. Relevant infos pasal kerej itiew, background of the company, achievements and what not...
Ini ala² u ols kena buat hommyworky lah kirenye. Sebelum pi memana interview, kena la tahu sedikit sebanyak maklumat pasal company tu. Kalau dah nak pi MAS interview tu, amik la some time to buat homework and lengkapkan diri anda with infos like, siapa Chairmannye, apa destinasi MAS (kalau tak semua pon, tau siket² pon jadik lah...), what type of aircraft MAS gunakan, dan lain². Tapi jgn lah terlalu taksub pasal hal nih sampai ingat kalau dah master semua infos pasal MAS, buta² sajo u ols akan diterima masuk.

This brings me to another example waktu interview itiew... hiks. I remembered this one guy (adik² sangat, so bloooody obvious wih muka putih melepak bak tepong gomak, dan lehernye, tone lain katanya! LOL!) yang sama interview dengan mek. Sebelum masuk interview room, confidentnye muka dia... siap cakap kat mek... "I think I can do this. I've done my homework. I know MAS dicelah² gigi I sajer..." Siut saje kan? Mrasalah mek telan air liur sebab mek pon, tak confident mek tau semuanya... hiks! So jadik, masuk lah kami ke interview room... waktu tu 1st round mek rase. Hiks. Mek nye turn dah lepas. All the interviewers asked was a brief intro about myself, background mek and what not. Tiba turn mamat adik² tadik nih, dalam tgh dok interview dan menceritakan hal background dia semua, alih² dia selitkan ini...

"... bla bla bla bla... and before I stop... I just would like to say that I've done my homework and I know lots of things about MAS. Thank you..."

Terus muka interviewers macam... "Owwhhh really???" haaa cam tu la... Terus one of the interview tanye...

"I see. So what are the things,... yang you really know about MAS?"

Dijawabnya...

"Owh yes, I know lots of things; such as... "

And yes - please brace urself for this!

"MAS's main airport in KLIA. MAS has Boeing 747, Boeing 777, Airbus, Boeing 737 and Foker... MAS stewards wear green jackets on board and stewardesses wear green kebaya. MAS has been around for many many many many year... " dan terus that interviewer tunjuk tapak tangan dia, persis... either... "STOP!" or "TALK TO MY HANDS!" gittiew... dan berkata..." One question. Who is the currently the Chairman of MAS?"

Dan you know what this adik² jawab?

"Ermm... That one I'm not so sure Sir but I think he is one of the great politicians around..."

"WHO? DOCTOR MAHATHIR?" said the interviewer. Mek dah ready nak gelak dah...

"Ahhhhh... hnmmmm, yes. Eh, no... no. Not him. It's that guy... who ar..."

"NEVERMIND... Forget what I asked..." sambung the interviewer in disappointment!

MEK TERUS CDH katanya! LOL! Gelak aku! Tu la - jgn terlalu konfident nak tau what aircraft MAS guna la, nama airport la itu ini la, bende² penting like Chairman bagai semua tu tannak amik tau! HAIYOH!!!!!!!!! Tergelak mek sat! LOL!

So you see, it's good to know these things, provided when u were being asked. Jgn before depa tanya, hangpa dok kondifennttt pi habaq yang hang tau walhal sebenaqnya hang dinch tau haprak pong! LOL! Homework darling, HOMEWORK!!!

3. Depending on the nature of the job, kalau perlu u ols speaking Omputeh sesiket, better la brush up sesikit la kan with friends ke ape ke. Ala² communication skills itiew perlu ado katanya!
This one pon, kalau boleh, dapatlah bebantuans kengkawans yang ado dan yang mampu menolong. It helps u know to talk with them, instead of dok memerap kat umah baca buku kononnye nak improve English. Choyyyy! Mek rase to really tahu what's coming, jadikkan lah kawan u ols tu as interviewer dan u ols jawab la apa² soalan dia tu. Biar slow and steady, jgn gopoh gapah. Hiks! Dan carik kawan tu, biaq la yang berjenis gherti nak tolong kita brush up our English. Kang, yang nak menolong kita tu pon, lagi teruk dari kita, mrasalah like a blind leading a blind katanya, KAN!? LOL!

Being in the airline industry, especially when you're in as one of the front liner staffs, it is essential that you know your roots and solid basic foundation bagai in communication. I know lah, in training schools tu nanti, depa akan ajaq u ols bercakap bagai semua. Tapi pon, in YOU, you MUST have that already. The sense of good communication comes from within, dan tak perlu nak gi training bagai. Training tu hanya lah sekadar nak improvekan lagi. So kalau u ols dinch ado a good communication skill, mrasalah cam mana nak layan penumpang? Jgn dok ingat hanya perlu senyum dan kasik tray... "JUICE... JUICE... JUICE" sajo! HIKS!

Bila kes dinch ade at least some basic knowledge of English and basic communication skills, MAKA JADIK LAH KES KES seperti...

"MAY I SAUCE YOUR BALLS SIR?" yang sepatutnya "WOULD YOU LIKE SOME SAUCE TO GO WITH THAT MEATBALLS?"

"CIKEN WIT LICE AND FIS WIT POTATO" yang sewajarnya jadik "Would you prefer to have Chicken Curry with steamed rice or Fish with baked potatoes?"

"Sorry Sir. What you've requested is out of stock..." yang seeloknye jadik "Sorry Sir. We don't have that available onboard this flight" - Ape bezanye yang ini? Yer lah. Out of Stock meaning bende yang dia mintak tu, ADE available tapi kirenye dah habis. MRASALAH kalau mintak bende yang tak penah ade, pi habaq cam tu, of course la pax tu ingat, "Ooooo on other flights, mesti ade kan? Tak per la kalau cam tu..." Get what I mean dak? These communication breakdown cam nih la yang menjadikkan crew sometimes the centre of every laughing human being!

4. Pakaian nak pi interview itiew, biarlah yang bersesuaian dengan tema!
TOLONGGGGGG LAH! PLEASEEE LAH! Mek merayu! TOLONG la pakai yang bersesuaian! Ade kalanya, pakai seperti nak pi mintak kerej kat kedai pam minyak sajo. APE KES? Dah tu, for girls piuler. Ade kalanye make up macam nak pi audition utk belakon opera Cina sajo? Isk.

From the time the interviewers tgk cara u ols berpakaian, depa dah boleh kasik pandangan masing². Kalau idak, takkan la ade kes "First Impression, COUNTS!" kan? Dari rambut, ke pakaian, make up ke ape ke, kasut, bag yang dibawa - semua tu these interviewers akan nengok. Jgn pandang ringan kes² ni. Sebab bende² yang u ols tak sangka, mungkin akan dititikberatkan. Mrasalah ade grooming exec. yang datang sekali waktu interview itiew, kan? HIKS!

Ade yang tanye kan mek pasal kalau ade jerawat ke ape ke, cam mana nak pi interview. Well, kalau muka u ols ade jerawat seketul yang tunggu time nak masak dan pecah, tak yah la worry pa per. TAPI kalau muka serupa tiang jamban tunggu time nak roboh, habis tu, tak sedar² diri dan masih confident, haiyoh - mek takut la nak cakap pa per dah. Sendiri mau ingat la. I mean, bukan nak kurang ajaq ke ape ke - tapi, mrasalah paham. Working in the airlines, mrasalah u ols persis duta Malaysia ok! Sebelum those mat² sallehs masuk Malaysia, dalam kapal terbang, sapa Malaysians yang depa jumpa dulu? CREW la. So, kalau dah tahu u ols have skin probs, mrasalah get professional advise ke ape ke. Setiap masalah ade jalan penyelesaiannye, and that includes skin problems :)

About male candidates pakai make up - hiks! This is funny! Nak pakai base/ bedak, lite², can la. JGN LA PECAH LOBANG AWAL² dulu the interview itiew! Kalau dah lama online crew, dah senior rank, nak buat apa, ikut suka la (jgn kena tangkap dengan Grooming Dprtment dah!) - tapi, nih, day 1, interview, dah pecah lobang, sasah lah OOOOOUT U GO! Hiks!

5. Tahap kesihatan yang memuaskan
Kalau u ols tahu u ols tu ade sakit pa per, awal² mek cakap, better go check up dan find out are you fit to work with the airline. Sebab working with the airlines nih, kesihatan u ols penting. Yerla, makan minum walaupun terjaga while working on board, tapi, timing nyer selalu lari. Orang tgh tidur 2 jam lepas dinner, hang baru nak dinner - walhal dah patut supper. Orang dah breakfast, 3 4 jam lepas tu baru terkedek² nak makan roti canai kat kedai mamak depan umah tu - haiyoh!!! Susah u ols. Pastu, working dalam airline nih requires u to be fit. Kalau asik dok sakit sakit sakit dan MC, mrasalah company meng-MC-kan diri u ols FOREVER! LOL!

Just before the interview, better la u ols get a good night sleep katanya. Jgn la dok berjaga lewat sebelum any interview sebab kalau kurang tidur, berani laaaa mek kerat jari, performance u ols waktu interview, HANCURS! Sebab bile dah tak cukup tidur, otak pun ala² blurririnas gittiew, KAN!? So - that's like, common sense, kan? Sendiri mau pikiaq la beb! LOL!

6. Konfidensi level u ols... ini mesti la ade siket biarpun tak banyak.
Jgn dok ermmm uuu aahhhh ermmm hmmmm jer banyak! LOL!

Apa² pon, yang penting mek nak cakap, despite entry ala² nasihat bagai nih, interviews selalunye, merely base on LUCK!

Adekalanya yang muka bak malam suram tanpa bulan, tetap dapat masuk. Ada kalanya muka bagaikan bintang berkerdipan ditaburi glitters silver dust tu, tetap laaa pulang hampa tanpa sebarang kejayaan katanya. Ade kalanya, yang graduate tetinggi nih, law la, accountings la apa bagai semua, TAK DAPAT. SPM gred 3 jugaaaaaaaaaaak yang dapat masuk. Haaaaa tu tandanya, interviews nih, very subjective and very ikut NASIB u ols.

Ade nasib, + rezeki u ols, ADE LA tempatnye tu! HIKS!

Well at first, I was kindda lookin' forward nak nengok Miss World 2005 rerun on NTV7 and nak buat review about it sebab I missed the actual show Saturday nite hari tu. Tapi, one word, eh, make it, TWO words jer yang bermain di fikiran mek dari mula contest tu sampai lah crowning of the new Miss World 2005 itiew...


Like, HELLO!? What is happenin' to MISS WORLD PAGEANT ni? Dari grand, ke so - so, kepada lite² sugi - kepade, AIYOH!!!! WHAT IS ALL THIS!? Miss World pageant setahu mek, membawa title yang lebih grand dari Miss Universe ke, Miss International ke ape ke, kan? Tapi after nengok the last few years punye Miss World Pageants (including malam tadik punye show itiew) - all I can say is, NAN ADO gloriousnye pong title / pageant tu!

Lets start with THE HOST city. Motif China again!? Dah la majority of them like could hardly speak English (bukan menghina tapi its true whatttt!), I can even see ade some of the audience TIDUR during the show - APE KES!? Well, maybe China banyak lagik plus pointsnye sebab tu the pageant organizers picked it to host the event - but still, WHY CHINA? Diaorang tak der undi² macam World Cup or Olympics tu ke?

And then, STAGE WISE. Makin lama, makin SEDEH nyer mek nengok stage setup for Miss World Pageant. Why ek? Mek also dinch hui, sebab tu mek tanya...

Lagu iringan - aiyoh!!! Sedeh! Siapa yang pilih lagu tu? Owh but I have to say the choreography was, aiyoh! Superb! Mek suke!!!

MC for the pageant tu - the guy was, OK la. Kerana kekandiewannye, mek terima sajo. Perempuan Chinese tu was very good. Mek suke dia jadik MC. Dia la MC yang sama last year also, kan? Who is she? Local actress ke ape ke?

Moving on to the contestants - aiyoh! Motif gerga tahap cipan majority of them? Mek tak paham sangat. Even the new Miss World itiew pon mempunyai betis yang gerga ok. Mek tak paham la. Beauty with a purpose? So those bahu gerga beauties, with gerga leggies bak pemain bola tu, serves what purpose? Whatever happens to those sexy slim skinny beauty queens? Hmmm... (kenape mek rase mek macam bukak ruang utk mengondem mek sajo, ek? LOL!)

With contestants coming in from well-to-do countries in the world of beauty pageants, it was such a great disappointment to see some of them macam tak jaga sajo bentuk badan depa. Lain la kalau dah jadik macam Diana Hayden ke, MEK ke, ratu² kertu past tense has been itiew, tak per la. Ini, for goodness sake - diaorang tgh competing. Perlu ke gerga? (reminds me so much of Miss Malaysia/ Universe 2004 ke 2005 tatau? Yang Andrea Fonseka itiew? Hiks!)

Contest concept, mek taknak hurai lelebih. Pepandai la korang nilai - for me, it was utterly, membohsankan dan dah tak sebest dulu. Perlu ke nak divide these ladies into continents la, menang Miss World Continents la, aiyoh! Tak perlu la. Buat simple like call the top 15, pastu jawab q/a and get into top 6... and dah - habis. Ini, mek pon tak tau, bile masa the judges amik markah dari top 15 semifinalists kepada top 6. Isk isk isk... dari the informal q/a session itiew ke? Obviously la kan... hiks!

Owh by the way, getting 9 ex Miss World winners to be the judges, really membuktikan sesuatuh malam nih; how should I say this without getting samaned? HAHAHAHA! Ok - here goes. It proves that these ladies tak gherti nak pilih pemenang. I mean, get real la... Canada and Mexico, they picked Mexico? Tanzania and the obvious-should-be in top 6 South Africa? They picked Tanzania? Ape kes?

Tah la - sebelum nengok the show, mek memang dah sakit kepala. Habis ajo show Miss World itiew - makin SAKIT kepala aku nih tau!

Kalau ikut² mek la, since mek nak buat ala² review ni... these would be MY pick...

Top 15 (tak mengambil port pasal continent² nih...)

• India  - Suke sangat her konfidensi level!
• Philippines - Very cheerful, mek suke! Tapi ade kalanye nampak sangat cheerful nye itiew dibuatpaksa katanya...
• Canada - probably with a different hairdo - nampak sangat nak tiru Miss Canada 2005 yang menang Miss Universe 2005 itiew, kan? Tapi mek suke her exotic looks itiew!
• Puerto Rico - Loved her dress, loved her eyes - HATED HER BARBIEDOLL HAIR!

• Indonesia - Sweeeeet sangat! The best rep. from negara jiran kitak ya buk!
• Venezuela - Sukenye tgk tanned girls macam dia nih - and in simple, mermaid cut evening dress, haiyoh! NANGIS!
• Korea - maybe with another evening dress kot?  Dua kali mek nampak dia terkempot atas stage itiew! Mujur tak tersembam!
• Turkey - need I say more pasal her dress!?!?!
• Latvia - She reminded me of this actress - darn I can't remember the name! Tapi mek suke lah dia waktu swimsuit fast track contest tu!
• Japan - sweet nye dia time dia main violin tu!
• Iceland - mek suke wajah sweet ala² asian tak asian mix look dia itiew; owh and erm, YES PLEASE tukarlah dress tak bermoral itiew!!! Dia ala² Miss World 1992 yang from Russia tu - dress hitam azab cam gitu ler...!
• South Africa - SUKE banget confidensi level dia nih, persis Miss India. Dia nih pong ade Indian mix kot?

Top 6 mek piuler would definitely be

And the results - kalau mek ler yang diberi peluang itiew... Hiks!

• 2nd runner-up to the title - Miss Philippines
• 1st runner-up to the title - Miss India
• My Miss World 2005 - Miss Korea!

WHY KOREA? Tah la - I fell in love tgk gaya ratu dia yang VERY MODEST itiew! And isn't it obvious? She did win Miss Beauty with a Purpose, KAN!?  Mrasalah dia lah sebenarnye  RATU beauty with brains that combines with great personality, humble attitude - mek suke sangat tgk clip presentation dia jadik nursie tu - ceria sangat! Mek suke!

So itiew lah dia - another review dari mek... PICS to go along with this review entry? NAN ADO! Sebab ape? Sebab - tah!? Tak der mood mek nak tempek gegambar miss² tu semua dalam blog mek! Kalau cecantiks gegiler, tak per la jugak! Hiks!
