Almost a YouTuber?

 


I have been at it for the last 12 months videoing food that I ate, restaurants, traffic flow in Japan etc in order to qualify as a YouTuber just to earn that extra $$. But wait the monetization hasn't come yet. First, I have to get 1,000 subscribers for my YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/@singaporeanlivinginjapan4641) and second 4,000 watch hours in the last 12 months to qualify for the job. As you can see from the image above I am just 46 subscribers shy of the 1,000. As for the watch time I have to work even harder to score another 2,500+ hours. Never mind about the tough work because I am enjoying what I am doing right now. So wish me luck.

Tips on how to work with younger senior female crew

 How to work with female senior crew who're younger than you? Simple, it is not difficult generally speaking. The following may help those especially stewards working under senior female cabin crew:

  • Pay compliments to these senior female crew you are working under, example say something nice about their looks or make-up etc. However, pay compliments with sincerity and life will be bearable working under them
  • Help them with tasks that they find hard to handle, example lifting of heavy stuffs like luggage, boxes etc
  • Offer them drinks and food before you have yours
  • Talk less, let them do all the talking even during night stops. They love to be listened to
  • Avoid gossiping about other crew
  • Don't be defensive when they correct you 
You may participate or contribute some ideas by writing them in the comment section below. Thank you.

A tribute to "Papa Chiang"

The late Lawrence Chiang was a soft spoken and kind hearted man. It was an honor to have him as a colleague. In all the years I've worked with him, I have never seen or heard him losing his cool. To his trainees, he was affectionately known as Papa Chiang because of his fatherly figure.
Many years ago, a passenger abused him on our flight. Lawrence was as timid as a mouse even though he was bullied by that nasty passenger he did not retaliate. I was so upset with the passenger and told him to take me on when we arrived at our destination. That coward backed off. In fact I had forgotten about the incident until much later when Lawrence told me what had happened. We had a good laugh.
There was a colleague who used to take advantage of Lawrence. This guy used to be broke due to his habitual gambling. Whenever he needed money to gamble or settle his debts, he would asked Lawrence. They would go to the ATM at STC and Lawrence would withdraw money for him. Such was the generosity of Lawrence.
We will miss him and may he RIP!

RIP Lawrence Chiang

 


Lawrence was my ex-colleague. We are about the same age. He was a kind man who used to help another colleague financially when that guy was broke. RIP Lawrence. My condolences to his loved ones.
