JinXuanC.blogspot.com: A day in a life of a cabin crew

"If you have a dream, go get it!"

Such an inspiring quote from EduFly!

Last month when me, Elva and Madeline went to the education fair at KLCC, we came through this booth about aviation, cruises, hotel management and culinary arts. It's EduFly. Elva actually had that intention to be a cabin crew if she failed in her main dream, so we went into the booth to get some information about cabin crew.

Lucky us, EduFly has free course for grooming and deportment, or mobile apps development that costs RM688 for the package. Which is obvious enough which will we choose? haha, of course it's Grooming and Deportment! We are not that confident that we will attend their course cuz apparently we have school on Saturday right.... And then turns out we have no classes on Saturday cuz it's the Cheng Meng holiday!! Without hesitation, we confirmed our attendance with the people in charge.

We woke quite early in the morning cuz the course starts from 10am to 3pm. I kinda look forward for the course cuz I can finally learn how to makeup perhaps?

It's really cool cuz they have the built in airplane thing that make you feel like you're in the real airplane!! Too bad we didn't get to introduce how to use this and that, but we took photos hahaa..

The class started at 10am but we arrived 40 mins late lolll, cuz we can't find the place T_T Anyway when we went in the class, the teacher was explaining bout Grooming.

There was a part where the teacher was explaining bout Hair. She presented 2 kinds of hairs for us using the "victims", hahaha. Never judge any stewardess hair, cuz it takes some time to practice and achieve the tidy and neat look. I was really impressed. And guess what, there's a part where she explained bout girls with short hair (which is kinda my hair style, but the back part is a lil higher). She asked me to be her "model" cuz I have that kind of hairstyle hahaha.

It kinda failed cuz my hair is too lessssss... :(

They sprayed a lil spray on my hair so it feels weird and I looked like a bimbo cuz my hair was not in great shape, lolol.

After few hours of Grooming course, we had a short break and we continued with Deportment course. Deportment is kinda like about your posture, and it's super important cuz it could boosts your self-esteem, confidence, and how people think about you :) The teacher taught us the right posture, how to stand, how should we talk to people, how to pose infront of cameras. Wow, I learned so much although it was short. If I have the chance in the future, I would really love to try out their intensive course for a cabin crew!!

Anyway, before we end the Deportment course, we got a chance to have a "catwalk" on their special stage especially for their students lol. I was quite..... quite surprised myself that I'm not that scared or nervous. Does that implies that my confidence has been boost up?! Hahaha.

One of the staffs said something that is quite inspiring, "You have the chance to try today, why don't? If you don't try, you're gonna regret it." I'm reaaaaally glad I tried and I have no regrets regarding today's course lollll.

3 steps to walk like a cabin crew.

1. Stand straight

2. Chin slightly up

3. Take a deep breath

Smile, and show your best!!!

We actually have the chance to walk twice. First, walk like a model. Second, walk like a stewardess with the luggage bag. Everytime when you saw stewardess holding their luggage bags in the airport and think, "wah, damn nice sia!!!!" Ok, now I finally know they got training for this.

Before ending the course, we had a group photo!!

Unexpectedly there's only one guy who attended the course haha.

Before going home, we had a small assessment to see if we are qualified to become air stewardess or not. Fortunately, all 3 of us are qualified! :D We measured our weight and height, to check our BMI. Cuz apparently if you wanna be an air stewardess your BMI have to be below 22. They have very strict rules for being a qualified candidate. For girls, your height have to be at least 157cm, and for guys, at least 165cm. Every companies have different requirements though :D
