Post a Comment
Today, i realise that the world only cared about themselves, about how stereotyped everyone of us could get and how unfair the world is.
I was so disappointed when i overheard a group of people talking among themselves during class...
Obviously, i was trying really hard listening to the lecture (the mike produced sound that were blurrish- i couldn't tell whether it was the lecturer or the mike) It was just like any other lecture.. until something that caught my ear. "i don't know leh, she's a stewardess lar, need to fly..."
hmms, that sounded interesting...
totally neglecting my lecturer by now...
The guy was contemplating whether he should do a group project with a stewardess in his group.. and his friend said this... "you go do project at the airport lar? but ultimately it's your choice whether you want to do project with her..." (LAUGHING)
alrights, i mean, i'm not trying to say for all the stewardesses, but most of us are pursuing our degree while working so that at least we could leave the industry and stop serving coffee or stopped getting touched/glared by D.O.M. And i can say, we really try our very best to attend lessons and we do our parts in all our projects.
In fact, during our off days ( NOTE: 1/3 of the month) we do what we need to do; STUDY.
It's not easy changing flights fitting in lessons together with loads of indian turns (not really something we like to do), family dinners, friends, partying and our retail therapy and for some of them, Boyfriends...
It's not nice to just have us labelled as "THE STEWARDESS" and thus, leave us out. Some of them work OT too right?
There are also stewardesses who gets their first honours and i bet those working in little tour agencies or little office telephone operators don't have them. What i mean is, why not treat everyone the same and give them a chance?
i never realise all these until this sem. Last sem, my group mates were all very accepting and we had our work done promptly and handed in. Isn't it what it should be? What's the internet for? These days we email, have long distance call, don't we?
Well, gf was right, we shldn't blame them. They are prolly trying to keep their marks. But Isn't it all about quality? oh wells.
To end this note, We DONT live in airports. we try to stay near so that we dont have to pay too much for transportation since we cant wear our uniforms to take public transport except for taxis. Cafe would be a nice place to do projects.
Guess, that's life.
