Things I wish my bosses had done to me

Got rid of me at an earlier age eg. around 30

Not nice to me so I could have quit earlier

Disciplined me for being such a likable person

Taught me to be mean and shrewd like them

Disallowed me to fly to so many countries and into
different times zones cos I now have sleeping problem

Made me worked like crazy for my salary and bonuses

Shouldn't allowed me to have too many coffee breaks whilst
working in the office cos I am now a caffeine addict (kopi-O was 30 cts but now 80 cts)

Should have discouraged me from smoking cos cigarettes are
too expensive now (Marlboro red is now $11.80?)

Be good if they kicked me each time I sipped the Black Label
cos now I am a penniless alcoholic who could only afford toddy

Stopped me from eating aircraft food like caviar,pate,cheese and other rich ones cos now I am having gout,high cholesterol level

Should have booted me out at the first round interview when I did my self-intro under the influence of alcohol(interviewers aso alcoholic la..same gang mah....hahaha)

Wait...come back and see whether I have more crap (U can aso contribute ok?)

Flight annoucements:funny

Do you listen to the safety briefing when you fly? Or do you chat with your travelling companion or read the newspaper or the laptop?

Occasionally, cabin crew will make an effort to make the in-flight safety lecture a bit more entertaining in an attempt to grab your attention.

The safety/take-off announcements came on like these:

As we are about take off in a couple of minutes time, please return your tray tables and seat backs into their full upright and most uncomfortable position.

There may be 100 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 12 ways out of this airplane.

Your seat cushions can be used for floatation, and in the event of an emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments.

We do feature a smoking section on this flight. If you must smoke, contact a member of the flight crew and we will escort you to the wing of the airplane.

Smoking in the lavatories is prohibited. Any person caught smoking in the lavatories will be asked to leave the plane immediately.

After take-off seat belt signs off:

Well, folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land. It's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern.

Thank you for flying with us. We hope you have enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride.

If you enjoyed your flight, my name is Marilyn and this is Singapore Airlines. If you didn't, my name is Yuki and this is Japan Airline.

From the cockpit:

Captain: We've reached our cruising altitude and should be reaching our destination soon. If there's anything we can do to make your flight more comfortable, aside from "fly faster", please let us know.

Suddenly infidelity is a dirty word.

When Jack Neo and Tiger Wood were exposed for their infidelity,suddenly the whole world was talking about how bad it was for husbands to be unfaithful to their wives.
Infidelity or being unfaithful is an ongoing thing since time immemorial unless of course in certain culture it is acceptable for men to have mistresses or concubines.
In cabin crew it is no different. Crew had been unfaithful to their spouses ever since the airlines started having mixed gender cabin crew. Even before that,when all cc were female,the technical crew were guys and so infidelity was already there.
We often heard of married pilots having extra marital affairs with stewardesses and vice versa. Now most airlines have male cc and the cases of extra marital affairs between cc inevitably increase.
There are many Jack Neos and Tiger Woods in cc. It is just that many cases were not publicised.
The good thing about Jack and Tiger's wives is that they do not commit suicide after discovering their husbands' infidelity. On the contrary,Tiger's wife Elin clobbered him with his golf club.
In cc I recall at least 2 cases whereby the spouses killed themselves after finding out about their partners' unfaithfulness.

Case 1: A male crew jumped down from his flat witnessed by his wife after he found out she was having an affair with another man.

Case 2: A leading steward's wife killed herself on discovering his affair with another stewardess.

Another senior steward "killed" his cancer stricken wife by having an affair with their maid. His wife was so grieved that she died after finding out about the affair.

Many people simply tolerated their spouses' infidelity and continued their relationship for the children's sake.

My husband is a slut!....by a lady reader.

Very interesting blog.. I chance upon this blog when I googled for "Singapore Airlines Stewardess Sluts". Boy, was I surprised to find an established blog dedicated to this topic!

Seems so far, your tales from the crypt relates more to the unsavoury behaviours of the flight attendants. What about the shenanigans btw tech crew and SQ stewardess?

Background:
I for one am married to a FO on the B777 fleet, and i don't parade the pseudo kebaya by Pierre Balmain.

My husband and I were friends since 16, went to same college, same university. We dated since Uni for 6 yrs before marriage. Married for 5 yrs,we have 2 young sons, the younger just 2 months shy of 1yr.

My husband was in the corporate sector, prior to switchin to SQ. Silly me, supported his move as he always had a passion for flying.

Infidelity:
I frequently go on biz trips for work. Once, I had a last min cxl of a biz trip - my husband didn't expect me to be in SG. He landed the evening before but only returned home the next day. I was 6 months pregnant with our 2nd child then.

I confronted him, but of course he feigned innocence on his part. Onus was on me to uncover the dirt. Checked his hp bills, he chalked up over $400 of overseas charges on long conversations to a local number. Called the number, an Ah Lian-sounding lady picked up. (Don't mean to be condescending but the standard of SQ stewardess has really gone down. While some are well spoken, most should really consider a course in British Council).

It was not until i "stole" my husband's hp that I finally made sense of the situation.

There were mushy sms from a string of SQ gals. Now one interesting thing about these gals, they all go by glamorous English names even though their IC is registered with their Hanyun Pinyin names. Sms from gals with names like Ayu, Evone, Janice, Joyce, Kelly, Lisa, Melinda, Monica,Sally,Sherie, Yvonne. Gosh, he got the Alphabets covered!

Now, you men must be thinking "typical SQ sluts" by now. But hold your horses, the bigger slut is my husband. While some of these women knew of his marital status, most did not. He conveniently carries himself as a single man (sans wedding ring...the wedding ring gets in the way of holding the control column..so he says). He parties at Zouk, Thumper, MOS when I'm away on biz trips. Even bring his buddies along; he the eager supplier of the "goods".

Categories of SQ stewardess:
1) Materialistic and shallow types
I confronted the list of gals that he was involved with. And I made sure that they all knew that he was playing all at the same time. And i made sure they knew each other (power of mass sms).

Their reactions were revealing of their characters. Some turned hysterical demanding that he makes a decision between them and his marriage. Some simply insisted that they be reimbursed for the mountain of overseas charges they incurred whispering sweet nothings over the phone. Hilarious!

Then there are the devils. Those, knowing he is married, blatantly flirt and gift-wrap themselves.

They are so bold as to "request" favors to buy duty free items from cosmetics to perfumes. Even though staff discounts apply to all in SQ at Changi Airport.

2) "Victimized" lot
This lot includes but not limiited to:
The bright-eye bushy-tailed newbies. The Chief Flight Stewardess, Leading Stewardess hitting their shelf life in the dating market. Those with hopeless boyfriends on the side who can't maintain their lifestyles.

Prime targets for tech crew. Tech crew being prime catch for these stewardess.

When you think about it, who wants to work as an airline stewardess. It's tough, gruelling job. Stale and dry cabin air, tonnes of make up, bad skin, serving demanding passengers, shuffling around like a geisha in kebaya. Seriously, the SQ kebaya is a job hazard! Constantly monitored for weight and looks, it's no wonder that SIA has high turnover among cabin crew. But they go into the line fully aware of the demands of the job and image of the company. When an airline markets its stewardess and of course not forgetting it's excellent service ..underlying mantra ...Sex sells.

Those who enter with O-levels are especially vulnerable. Without much qualifications, they are stuck in the job. It's a respectable job with good perks but disillusionment easily sets in. It is no surprise that they look for exit doors, and they may come in the form of execs in business class (or even economy class), second officers, first officers or even Captains.

So there you have it. A display of Marslow Hierachy of Needs. Typical women using all their resources to satisfy their needs to ensure that they remain in the gene pool.

It is convenient to generalize SQ stewardess as sluts, flirts, sex maniacs, drug fiends. (Some of terms that turned up by googling SIA stewardess).

Essentially, such 'relationships' boil down to a transaction. They have the goods to sell, and men (tech crew, male cabin crew or men in general) are the ready buyers.

Those searching for a life partner rightly or wrongly, driven by desperation from pressures of the job; cling on the best catch possible.

In my husband's case, he is the biggest slut, not the SQ stewardess.

Be nice to my fren ya

A ghost story

Here is the follow up on the spooky real life encounters of my neighborhood friend, Des, who lives just exactly a block away from me. My friend is quite like Isis… very sensitive to the spiritual stuff but has no 3rd eye. My friend has been staying in Bedok for about 15 years…. these are the stories told by him which he either encountered or encountered by his ah bengs neighborhood friends who also, happen to stay around my block too.

Des is a frequent ah beng cyclist who occasionally hangs around with his ah beng friends by going cycling (to where I don’t know) if he isn’t chilling out under void decks speaking Hokkien vulgarities, guffawing and idling time away.

If you know the Bedok North area well, you will know where is the Red Swatika Primary School located and the stretch of lonely road (many cars passes by there often but in terms of pedestrians it is very secluded and lonely) that is heading towards Bedok reservoir road. In the middle of the road there is the PIE over crossing it like a huge bridge. Needless to say, under that highway it is VERY dark, not to mention run-down as you can see weeds growing outta the ‘pillars’ of the highway. Look around and you can only see vegetation (Simon, if u touch down to S’pore I’ll bring ya go to that road and snap a picture out of it. Its a walking distance from my house), wild bushes and even draping vines from the highway! This only goes to show that the Government did not bother to send someone to try keep the area physically clean. Anyway, even b4 the story was told to me I heard from the typical ah sohs in my neighborhood that that area under the PIE is VERY dirty… spiritually dirty. Yep… I walked under there a few times (becuase got off at wrong bus stop) and did actually feel my hair stand a number of times. Maybe it’s just chilly….

Des related to me there was once he was with a group of about 6 friends cycling to Bedok Reservoir coffee-shop from Bedok North Rd when suddenly one of his friends’ bicycle tyre punctured for no reason and the poor beng gotta push his bicycle all the way to their destination. Naturally, anyone going from Bedok North Rd to Bedok Reservoir would have to pass by that stretch of dirty road and also, under the PIE. Also expectedly, the one pushing the bicycle was also at the back and last of the group.

It was around midnight to early morning when they happened to pass under the PIE. Everything went on smoothly until the last guy got stopped by an old lady dressed in a very old typical China samfoo. She was in a dark corner of the bridge and was beckoning the last guy in the group to come over…. it was quite a distance and rather dark but he could roughly make out her presence.

Here’s what Des told me: ” I dunno what happened but my friend just went over. We all were quite shocked as so late already, where got people, especially old lady doing at that ulu (secluded) spot. We don’t know what happened but he came back running and told us to rush off as that old lady kept on holding back onto his bicycle and asked him to help her dig in the ground. She was pointing to the ground all this while. She told my friend that her grandchild was buried underneath and that she needed him to help her dig him up…. then when we looked closely, we could see that her eyes were hollow!! Without a word we all pia (dash off) from that place as fast as we could!! Even my friend, as if he got so much sudden energy, he ran all the way pushing his bicycle almost as fast as we were cycling!! ”

That was a few years ago when it happened but somewhere later on he asked his mother about the PIE thing and she revealed that a few years back a young little boy was playing along under the PIE when don’t know how, but he got hit by a vehicle and died on the spot. The newspapers even came out an article on that. Everyone in the Bedok North neighborhood knows the family of the boy. Apparently it seems that he was his grandmother’s only and favorite grandson. So we all know the rest here ……

In fact, around this Bedok North area there are more than 5 eerie cases of sightings, encounters and even a handful of unnatural deaths…. one of them being a secondary school friend of mine (this also made it to the papers somewhere in 1995).

Passengers allegedly had sex in crew rest area on Cathay Pacific flight

By staff writers April 20, 2009 8:43am

A HONG Kong airline is investigating claims that a couple travelling first class from Toronto, Canada, used the crew rest area to join the "mile-high club".

The couple were allegedly invited by an airline staff member to use the rest area onboard a Cathay Pacific plane to have sex after being spotted getting intimate in their seats, German news agency DPA reports.

The passenger, a US doctor, said he knew the staff member from previous flights.

“On these long, long flights there isn't really anything to do after the meal service so my gf (girlfriend) and I were cuddling and watching movies,” the passenger wrote on his blog.

“With the magnificent large bed one thing led to another and soon my friend Alvin was at our side saying would you like the privacy of our crew rest upstairs? It is currently unoccupied.”

He also posted pictures on a blog showing himself lying on the bunk as evidence of his “adventure”.

Cathay Pacific said it was examining the blog, which was posted earlier this month, to see if the staff member broke the rules by allowing passengers into the crew rest area.

“We are looking into the case. It is a company's policy that the cabin crew and cockpit crew rest bunks can only be used by operating crew and not for any staff or passengers,” an airline spokeswoman said.

A senior Cathay Pacific pilot, speaking on condition of anonymity, said he thought it was unlikely the event really happened.

“On a flight from Toronto there will be someone in the cockpit crew rest area almost all the time. There are four pilots and two will be in there at a time apart from the breaks between shifts which will only be about 15 minutes,” he said.

A real ghost story: contributed by a crew

Sometime back there was a Leading Crew who could see things too...

he could sense events that was going to happen...

he could sense if people are genuine and sincere or false hearted....

he could meet passengers and tell them about their private lives, but they were all shocked and scared to talk to him...

he could see souls and communicate with these wandering souls... in hotel rooms and even on flight...

one day, he met another steward who could really see things like he did.....

and the steward told him that his own time was up... he was going to die soon but did not know how....

The steward told his girlfriend that he his time was up too, but she did not believe him....

LS (leading steward/stewardess) asked steward that after he died, to come visit LS.....

The steward eventually died one year later... came back and showed events that were to happen....

LS left the airlines.....

The steward girlfriend is still flying, not married.

this is a true GHOST STORY....

Colleagues thought he was crazy (ghost story on an Asian airline but not SQ)

Once too often his crew would see him offering food/drinks and talking to empty seats on the plane. When confronted by his seniors,Jim explained that those were not empty seats but there were passengers sitting there. They would simply shrugged their shoulders and let Jim carried on what he was doing. Everyone thought Jim was a crazy guy and left him alone.

In reality Jim was borned in a veil and according to the local people's belief people like Jim could see and interact with the spiritual world.

Jim once told his colleagues that seeing ghosts on the planes was a normal thing.He could only tell the difference whether it was a ghost or not by looking at the its feet. According to Jim ghosts do not have feet. The part where it was supposed to be the feet was blurred,sort of faded.
Ghost do eat too according to Jim. It was proven on a flight that a tray with food was served by Jim to a supposedly empty seat was eaten up. The crew who worked with Jim on that flight spent the whole night in their hotel rooms after checking in,talking about the incidence. In fact,they were too afraid to sleep.

Passenger jailed for being unruly and voilent on SIA


Unruly passenger on Barcelona flight restrained by cabin crew.
Click:http://www.diariovasco.tv/index.html#frontaleID=F_VASCOTV&sectionID=S_COMNAC&videoID=80650

There were comments in some forums that it wasn't right for cabin crew to punch the unruly pax on SQ 377 from Barcelona to S'pore. I think the steward did the right thing.CC finally with the help of a few fellow paxs managed to tie him up with a restrain cord.
Had that violent pax be not restrained he would have open the emergency exit and you can't imagine what would have happened to the flight.
He tried to open the exit about 1 hour before the flight landed. Usually during the descent before landing the cabin would be depressurised and that means the emergency door could be opened from the inside (cabin). During cruising when the airplane is fully pressurised and it would be almost impossible to open the exit from inside the cabin.
If I were to be the cc on that flight I would have used my pistol to shoot him (water pistol la..hehehe).
Alternatively,joking aside,I would have used the dry chemical fire extinguisher on that violent pax....why? to cool him down la since he was so hot...hahaha

A photographer

Zig's dad was an instructor to many trainee stewardesses. Since Zig was a child he was curious about the stewardesses. Now Zig was a big boy,perhaps 17 or 16 years old. He was a young man,hot and full of lust for women. He had heard stories of stewardesses being "bedded" by his dad or the male crew and passengers.
One day when dad was not around,Zig opened his briefcase and spied on the personal particulars of dad's trainees. There were many of them with photos,addresses and phone numbers. Some of the girls were awesome with good features and richly endowed bodies.
Zig copied the phone numbers of a few attractive girls and began to call them.
The story was like this: Zig told the girls he was a photographer of the airline. His job was to take pictures of pretty stewardesses or trainees and lined them up for airline advertisements. The airline would pay handsomely to those they chose to pose for them.
Eve was one girl who was convinced over Zig's story. She agreed to meet him at a secluded spot somewhere at a reservoir where the shots would blend with nature.
Eve was asked by Zig to do many poses while he snapped pictures of her with a powerful Cannon camera. Some of the poses Eve was asked to do was to bare her breasts,half naked while Zig would touched her body. He even asked her to strip naked but she didn't do it because there were a few people around.
After the photo session, Eve went home and told her parents about her discomfort with the photography. Her parents knew Eve was conned and had been molested. They lodged a police report.
A few days later, Zig was arrested and hauled to court. As he was a minor, Zig was put on probation.
The office staff and crew read the newspaper and knew Zig was the son of an instructor. The cc divisional head felt ashamed and spoke with Zig's father.
The above wasn't the end of Zig's story. A few years later,he was charged with molesting a woman. This time he was put behind bars and given a few strokes of the cane.

He was a weirdo!

Often i would bump into cc at shopping malls,foodcourts,orchard road or other places and some would make me recalled of the things they did which most would not forget.
I bumped into a retired senior cc recently and can't help but began to recall his infamous act which he committed when he was a chief steward. Every crew during that time knew about the scandal he was involved in.
Let's call him "Camel". During a night stop, he was so charmed by a stewardess that he tried dating her but to no avail. She had a boy friend and wasn't interested in Camel and so she kept putting him off.
One night, Camel was so overwhelmed by his lust for her that he went into her room while she was asleep and stripped himself naked.
Camel's uncontrollable excitement woke the stewardess up. She was shocked to see her chief steward standing naked in front of her and she let out a loud scream. Camel was shocked too and fled half naked to his room which was situated next to hers.
The next thing that happened was Camel was found guilty of outraging the stewardess's modesty and was demoted to a lower rank.
