  • Hi, welcome to my house, come on in.

  • I'm flight attendant Grace.

  • I've been with Cafe Pacific for over three years now.

  • Right after I graduated, I was deciding and I thought, why not fly while I'm young?

  • So right now, I got to get ready.

  • So follow me.

  • Every time I put on my uniform, it's kind of like I'm playing a role, like a whole performance, it's a whole play.

  • So when you're wearing the uniform, you have to act the part.

  • Now I'm heading on to doing my packing.

  • I already did my packing the night before.

  • That's what I usually do for every flight.

  • Key point is to pack light.

  • And you're ready to go.

  • So we're here now at Cafe City.

  • So that was around 20 minutes MTR ride and five minutes bus ride from my home to here.

  • Thank you.

  • Now we head in.

  • So right here, we look for the flight file.

  • Today, we're taking seats 111.

  • So we look for the flight file here.

  • There it is.

  • And now we can head up to the computers.

  • We're in.

  • So here, I just do my last minute checks to see, for example, my position for the flight.

  • Good evening, everyone.

  • Welcome to seat 101 to Sydney.

  • And before I start, please check your passport details.

  • And rank, day one.

  • Good attitude is a major factor of bringing good service to our passengers.

  • Please be warm, friendly, and nice to our passengers.

  • When we talk to the passengers, find our tone of voice, our body language, and using eye contact.

  • Thank you very much, Winnie.

  • So the flight time is quite long.

  • Some of the passengers may want to get some rest.

  • To minimize the galley noise, because the galley is very close to the cabin, speak softly and watch out.

  • So right here, you can't go along with me, because I'm going on the bus.

  • So I'll see you later in flight.

  • The first thing we do is our equipment checks.

  • So make sure we have all the equipment we need for safety purposes.

  • After that, we start doing ground preparation.

  • That includes setting up newspaper, getting ready for the meal service, keeping all the drinks chilled.

  • So we have dry ice for that.

  • Before our passengers come, we make sure the scene is nice and presentable.

  • So we check the TVs to make sure they're serviceable.

  • The seats are clean.

  • Even when I was a kid, I loved to fly.

  • When I applied for this job and then started flying, it's that new excitement every time.

  • Every time the plane takes off.

  • Whenever I see my passengers happy, I'm happy.

  • Like a lot of people say, it's all the little things that count.

  • But it's true.

  • Also have the pork with XO sauce and rice.

  • And at the end there, as you can see, tomato and cheese fettuccine.

  • I like to tell people before they ask.

  • I just like to notice these little things and pick it up.

  • First meal service, like for our flight today, we have two meal service.

  • So between the first and the second, we do have time.

  • We come back to the galley.

  • We eat.

  • Time to chit-chat with our colleagues.

  • All done.

  • Very smooth and happy flight.

  • So after the last passenger has seen the plane, we do after landing checks.

  • And then we head out as the whole group to the crew bus.

  • We're here at the hotel.

  • One good and smooth flight.

  • Check off my list.

  • I haven't slept the whole night.

  • So honestly, I'm physically very tired.

  • So looking forward to getting some rest.

  • Thank you for joining me the whole time.

  • All the way to Sydney.

  • And hope you had fun and see you again soon.

Hi, welcome to my house, come on in.
