Adulting Woes

Here’s a lil bit about myself.

I majored in computer studies and hated it during my school days. I rem only excelling only on presentations and was determined to move onto sthg I rly enjoy once I graduate. To my surprise, I cleared my cabin crew interview for SilkAir then crossed over to Singapore Airlines during an internal transfer 7 years later.

Stayes on for another 10 years. Totalling up to 17 years altogether! 👻

In my opinion, should’ve just started flying with an International carrier from day 1!

Never realized that I would loveeee flying so much. But I guess when you’re truly enjoying what you do, time just flies by. And honestly these are some Adulting Tips I would love to share with you.

🌟 1 - Prioritize Budgeting.

Create a budget to manage your finances effectively. Track your income, expenses, and savings goals to ensure you're living within your means.

Biggest regret - I didn’t during my first 7 years in Silkair.

Only woke up when I was in SQ. To my surprise, I could shop & SAVE much much more than I did during my 7 years working (真的是白活了 😭)

🌟 2 - Develop Time Management Skills.

Plan your days and prioritize tasks to avoid feeling overwhelmed. I took free courses provided by the company during my stint in SQ so developing good time management rly helps. Plan out to-do lists to stay clear headed & well-organized.

🌟 3 - Invest in Self-Care.

Take care of your physical and mental well-being. Take ur supplements religiously. Vit C 🍋 when you’re under the weather. TCM 💯 always works for me. 10 years - Zero MC 👻

Balanced diet , nap whenever you can. - haha! This is an impt survivor skills I developed whilst I was flying. Very useful till today as a Mum, juz to stay alive ☠️

🌟 4 - Continuous Learning.

Embrace a growth mindset and commit to lifelong learning. Seek opportunities to expand your knowledge and skills, both personally and professionally. Completed a WSQ ACTA course which enabled me to become an image trainer today. Fashion is sthg I’m passionate about and I find staying curious helps me adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world.

🌟 5 - Foster a Supportive Network.

This is super impt as i like to surround myself with supportive family, friends with the right mindset. Building a network can provide valuable insights and help you navigate various aspects of adulthood.

Hope this helps you enjoy adulting. So share with me yours too! 🤗
