Hii!! Finally I’m back on track!!
It’s been a long time since I posted here, please bear with me :) I finally have internet in my apartment. Before this, the data on my phone was always running out so fast!
Plus as most of you know the beginning of the training is always hectic.
One month after I had moved to Dubai and I cannot say that I love being here yet, need to adapt and adjust with so many new stuff at the same time is not the easiest, but I enjoy it here. Now let me update you on what’s happened in the past few weeks.
The joining flight to DXB was amazing, it is actually my first experience of flying with Emirates and I enjoyed it so much, the crew were really amazing and as expected, we got that famous polaroid photos at the galley with these lovely crews! One of them even gave us her contact number in case of we have difficulties in our training, so thoughtful of her.
I arrived in Dubai on June 5th, just an hour before midnight, a really nice lady from Marhaba had waited for us and gave us a very warm welcome and accompanied us through out the immigration, baggage pick up, and all the way to the office to give us the welcome pack and sorted out some documents. Then we headed out to the accommodations. All I did the next day was just unpacking my whole suitcases into my closet, and trying to adjust with my new home.
The induction week was pretty tiring, not so many things to do, but they’re preparing us very well with all the talks and introductions of the company, Dubai, and all various things you could ever think of. After this induction week, the real thing starts, the training, the hardwork, you name it! Especially because I got the earliest schedule for SEP, my class starts at 6 AM, pick up around 5ish, that means I had to wake up before 4 AM for almost 2 weeks, I’m kind of a late night owl so it’s not the most exciting, lol. But somehow I managed to wake up that early :)
I can happily say now that I finished SEP last week with average score of 99.5% out of 4 exams, it’s not as hard as people said but it is indeed require your full attention and effort to be able to manage with so much information in 13 days. And I finally had a proper night out in Dubai to celebrate it with my batch mates. Even though I already have homework over the weekend.
This week I have just finished Medical Training as well, so I’m pretty excited to welcome Image & Uniform day next Sunday!! Also today I had sorted out some things that has been procrastinated due to busy training days.
I think it’s actually a good thing to be on training during the Ramadhan month, it gave me plenty of quiet time to focus on the training, sometimes I can get easily distracted. The nightlife isn’t as festive, no alcohol on few places, most restaurants in the malls are close or might be open for take aways and will only be open for service after iftar time, we’re even not allowed to eat/drink on public during fasting times.
All I can say a month here has been exciting even though I haven’t explored the city as much as I wanted. But as the trainers said, the city, the malls, the nightlife, the beaches will always be there, so focus on the training for the first 2 months, and you will have plenty of time to explore more later on, of course it wouldn’t hurt to go out if you could spare a few days during the training ;)
