Day 2 - Employee Training

had the whole day of employee orientation training todae... it was very fruitful... learnt so much more abt the hotel and its functions. the part i enjoyed most was the hotel tour...

visited the royal residence... where the princess of brunei comes over to stay, as the hotel is actually owned by the sultan of brunei... my gooodieee gosh~ her bathroom is like the size of my house?!? with the shower room the size of my bedroom, with an attached sauna... and black toilet bowls in the other room, also the size of my bedroom.. plus a bathtub so damn big... and all the stuff there like the tap knobs, sink, toiletbowl knobs, are all 24k gold plated... plus the carpet is sprinkled with real gold dust... and she's got her own personal carpark, direct from her room.. which means that once she opens the door, its her carpark.. goshh..... her whole hotel is so big... she occupies the whole level... i'm so envious~

aniwae, i'm damn tired after my 9am to 5pm training todae.... phew~ glad to be home. another day of training tmr on the art of service...

dear: good to hear that your paper todae was great! hee... so happie for you!

ta-ta...

Day 1 - Blistering Barnacles

my first day at work... was a learning experience of a lifetime...

i was taught on how to update pay increment of employees... and my god.. they have so many employees! then was shown around the operations of the hotel by my boss... it was so awesome... to see the number of people working and how the hotel is being run... i sat in for a quarter of a training session conducted by my big boss... on time management... actually the purpose of being there was to keep the training materials after her training session was over... boss brought me to cafe vienna which is a restaurant at the hotel lobby, which serves international food, and i saw so many VIPs and guests dining... both frontline and backline staff are equally important... and hotel employees are not supposed to take guest lifts and are not supposed to walk in the lobby unless you are of a managerial position or is on official hotel business. hotel employees are only allowed to take the back firemen's lift and cargo lifts. boss also showed me the function rooms, and GM's room... sooooo big and spacious... woo~ had lunch at the staff canteen... food is free, but not bad... its quite good actually... hee... oh yah, i got my employee's id number, and they are gonna make me and id card, which i wonder why i need it, coz i'm only working there for 3 months.

that was somehow my first day at work... but~ i am so beat, tired, exhausted, or wadeva is used to describe being worn out... my feet are filled with swollen, red, bursted blisters, my back is aching due to the constant bending to take employee's files, my muscles are juz aching...

have to attend a 2 day orientation training programme, conducted by my boss... i have to sit in, as well as help her setup the stuff... double work... hee...

dear: i know u are having a paper tomorrow... though i dunno if u will be able to read this, but good luck and.... to me, you are always so awesome...

we've been both so busy, that we hardly even have the time to talk, not to say meet each other... but thru being in love and growing up together with you, you've taught me that being in a relationship, love is not enough... we've got to have the ability to maintain it, have trust, faith, understanding and honesty... we're both working hard for our future, and i know, only you can give me a happily ever after...

ta-ta...

Vcd-ing

oops. i haven't been updating regularly... hehe.. been really lazy... and i've been spending my time watching the korean drama "stairway to heaven". it is actually shown on channel u at 10pm on mondays and tuesdays... hehe... but its a 20 disc drama... think if i catch the channel u one, it'd take me a long long time to know the ending. aniwae, i'd only managed to finish 16 discs.... four more to go!

And You Don't Remember - Mariah Carey

Shattered dreams
Cut through my mind
Tragically our love has died
Memories confine my head
Bitterly I face the end

Trustingly
I gave myself to you
I let you inside
Believing your lies

And you don't remember
Every time you told me
You were mine forever
For eternity
And you don't remember
How you used to hold me
How we'd melt together
How you needed me
How we used to be in love

Stranded here
In nothingness
With only tears
And lonliness

Foolishly
I gave my soul to you
I let you inside
Believing your lies

Helplessly
I fell so deep
I was so naive
To let you in
Why did I let you in to my heart

And you don't remember
Anything that you told me
You were mine forever
For eternity
I know you don't remember
How you used to hold me
How we'd melt together
How you used to need me
How we used to be in love

Whoa Lau!

its 6pm oredi?!?! i juz woke up!

went out with belle and shar yesterday. had really good food. spent $20 on fish & co for dinner. i had so much mussels, i felt so "mussely". went to cosy bay to chill after dinner. drank cocktail. and to my horror, juz one sip of it. and my face went red. i felt so hot! and i am left with a headache until todae... which is why i slept the whole afternoon! shar and belle kept laughing at me. haa.... but we really had a good talk about everything... shared our little secrets... especially shar and belle, had so much to tell me. in the end, i got home at 12 mid-night. we took pics! lots of them! will upload them as soon as belle passes them to me.

aniwae, woke up bright and early this morning and din feel good. haa.. but still had to drag my feet to the interview. and its where i'm gonna work. its confirmed! royal plaza hotel @ scotts! yay! i'm so damn happie with everything. coz:

1) the HR department only has 4 ppl (including me) ---> its better to work in smaller teams.
2) the HR assistant manager is a really nice lady.
3) i love the job scope!
4) i believe i can learn alot becoz being in HR i have to run alot of errands around the hotel, which also means that i'll meet many people.
5) i have to dress really formal.
6) the perks of working in a hotel means i do not need to spend money on lunch and dinner, because they provide meals!
7) i have 518 express bus straight from my house bus stop to the hotel.
8) i'd rather work the hotel at orchard than amex, which is at the concourse.
8) this is the best part! they are paying me $500!!!
9) the HR assistant manager said she would discuss with her director, and maybe they might gimmie 1 or 2 days anual leave!
10) and lastly, although i have to work alternate saturdays, but i love the job. at least for now. heehee....wad more can i say?

so happie... really... hehe...

i'm so glad the headache is gone. coz yesterday i felt so horrid after the alcohol went into my body. slept the whole day at dear's house todae...

last outing with JJVL and jiayi on monday. we're having dinner at seoul garden. jiayi's treating! coz its her birthday! hehe.... and after that, it'll be back to the books. meanwhile, i'll have to complete my tutorials for monday.....

ta-ta...

What Next?

munching on peanut butter sandwich now. its my brunch. haven't had anything the whole dae. had a whole 2 hr lecture followed by another 2 hour tutorial. no one wanted to have lunch after that, so i juz skipped it. and guess wad? i'm having brunch now at 4.20pm. haa...

had a long day yesterday.... got informed by my tutor that i am most probably having my attachment at royal plaza hotel @ scotts. the one opposite far east plaza. will be meeting up with them this saturday. i hope everything goes well.

didn't have a very good nite yesterday. dun wish to elaborate further. but i was tossing and turning in bed the whole nite. couldn't get to sleep. mind was working. it didn't want any rest. by 3.30am, i'm still wide awake.. and i woke up at 7am todae.

took 518 to suntec after school to get my blazer for the interview on saturday. on the bus, was glad that 518 goes to my interview place. juz right outside the hotel. i dread taking mrt, coz i have to change train. phew... but aniwae, i was looking for somebody to go get my blazer with me, so that i can have another person's opinion on the blazers. but seems that everyone was busy. so i had to go alone. though i hate that feeling of being alone, i quite enjoyed it todae. maybe i should do this more often. then i'll get used to it... aniwae, i was intending to go to dorothy perkins. but too bad, they dun have suits-cum-skirts this season. only pants. i ended up going to G2000 as usual. however, the service was good todae. i can say that they made me a happie customer. maybe becoz the shop wasn't packed. in fact, it had only 2 persons, including me. haa... thank god the salesgirls there were very nice in giving me opinion, since i didn't have any companion to give me opinions. and moreover, they are more expert in this field. got a great deal, had the skirt free coz i bought the blazer as a whole suit. saved a total of $40. alot huh?

so tired... the vein of my eyes are all red when i was at G2000 trying out the suits. feel so exhausted. glad that i'm home... but have alot of things piling up waiting for me... resumes, tutorials, revision~

gotta go...

ta-ta...

Time Flies~

its all over officially! all project proposals are handed in, and i juz finished my project interview todae! it was okay.. haa.. i managed to talk for a full 4 mins... *oops*... too long... hope it was okay. now, the only thing now is to wait for my coursework grade.

time passes faster than an aeroplane. in juz the blink of an eye, next week is revision week and then study week, and then exam... then i'd get ready to go for attachment... unbelievable huh? i almost completed my 5th semester at temasek... if everything goes well, i'd be graduating nxt yr around april / may... and then i dunno wad i'd do after that.... degree? or work? tough choice~ arrggh...

aniwae, will be hanging out with belle and shar this fridae... i guess we're all excited about the meeting. its been such a long time since we met up. and since belle would be driving.... heh heh heh...

as for that special someone...
dear: jia you! i know its not easy studying... the road ahead is rocky and winding, but we'll work hard together... for a better future...

ta-ta...

Finally It's Over!

project submissions are all done. phew! having event management project interview tomorrow. haiz. so tired. might read a little bit on the project later.

had a wonderful weekend with dear. nothing special, but i was very happie. simplicity is bliss huh.. hehe... nowadays, we basically juz meet up and do our tutorials, so that we get to spend time together, but at the same time finish our work. and we'll go to either one's house to have dinner. in that way, we can save money. hee...

dear: things have never been better. though we've had some really bad experiences with our relationship, thanks for going through countless hurdles with me. i'm so glad that you appeared in my life.

Happie Birthday Singapore!

*HAPPIE BELATED BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!*

hahaha... didn't blog yesterday coz was too tired. its almost the end of the day. going 7pm liao... went to monday's accounting lecture, so i had todae free... stayed at home to complie project and finish wad i have to. was working on my projects the whole day.

quite pissed with my group member. i juz dunno why we dun see things on the same level. maybe its me, maybe its her. i dunno. i dun like sloppy work. and my projects muz always be of a certain standard, if not better. and i dun like her going around to ask people to edit her work. i saw the report only this evening. and it was shockingly ugly. i had my doubts on her compiling it, but everyone had a fair share of compiling. and though i was worried, i thot it won't be that bad. but to my horror, the report looks really bad, and i'm so pissed. becoz its due on friday! mind you! tmr is thursday, and we have to rush it all over again?! dun you know how to do a report? you are in year 3! and can't u even do a sensible well written spell-checked report? and when we give ideas, u say no this and no that.. wad else do you want then? i dun like working with you, but we didn't have a choice. you juz have to learn not to be dominant. it juz doesn't work with me.

you juz piss me off... really~

ta-ta...
