Being really reflective...

hey guys..thanks for reading my blog..appreciated

like it everytime i come in I see comments left for me..keke at least i know i am not writing to cyber space..haha

so many things..where should i start..urm...

ok..start from graveyard shift..
My first real graveyard shift started on Friday..did reg cards and reports with Norain, cool trainer..very detailed i like..and she's one of those "chop-chop" group of people which i lagi like...after reading my holy manual "THE EXTENSIVE GUIDE FOR MIDNIGHTERS"..i went ahead with my virgin G shift yesterday (sat) night...made a big mess out of the reg cards...silly move..haha but you know when they always say take it as a lesson...ya, whenever you do something, it's best you do it wrong, then you'll forever rememeber the right way of doing it...agree?? so that's why people always say dun be afraid to make mistakes...the reason behind it is that you learn better and the information, procedure or whatever you call in will be locked in your head..

so now I am familiar with reg cards..yesterday I went to work at 9pm hoping to finish the reg cards as fast as i could but ended up I only finished it at around 3 am..haha...technically the sorting out and everything else has to be done..so my new target for today, as in tonight wuold be to finish it by breifing time...at least I am more familiar with the procedure after my expensive lesson yesterday...all i pray is that the printer dun "HAI WO"...

another thing i wan to say about G shift is that the preparation work is easy but there's a lot..quantity wise...we are like preparing a day's work to start with...for the WHOLE hotel..i repeat WHOLE HOTEL...everybody...really the FO is like TP's one -stop service centre, no matter in which aspects...be it miscelleanous work, and facing the guest..we do everything...

so we are like the conductors of the orchestra..the conductor point to the right instruments at the right time to make the piece of music soun good..co-ordinated..remind me of Zhang shen when i was in the orchestra..you basically have to know every instrument, the behaviour, the method of playing, the fundementals of notes, the skill...before you can be one good conductor...so yea, the FO have to know what's happening in the other department then we can play this concert piece well..

dun you agree?? we prepare work for tmr's colleagues on E shift, and we do reports for the GM, AM, FOM, REV, RESV..etc..and we need to be able to answer queries from guest in the middle of the night, the weirdest ones...to be well-informed basically...boils down to...*everyone, let's say it together...* COMMUNICATION!
yea you've said it..that's right!

well...i wish communication would just be like looking at the conductor and knowing exactly what to do...butit's not easy like that...

but if you ask me whcih i prefer, definitely the G shift..even though you must sacrifice you sleep..haha..because contact with guess is minimal..you can't imagine how nasty these people can be..*irritating*...so i rather service my internal people and make their work day smooth by doing a good background job for them..

well, i dun exactly hate the guest there, i only like guests from certain days...and certain countries..like everyone may have guessed, americans,..yea..technically they are the nicest among the evil ones...like mama's, chinese *taiwan and china*, saudi arabians, SINGAPOREANS...yea..irritating ones...

but I have to be professional, since I am in this line..to treat basically all of them the same nice way..but be treated diffirently in return..and i have to please them...sounds bad huh..but i guess if i were the guest i'd want the crew in the hotel to treat me nice, why?? because I AM PAYING FOR IT!!!!!!! ..

yea..so it's technically a job...that's why they say you have to lurve your job or it's difficult to move on..
well, i lurve it..really! even with the scoldings and everything, cos you see how extreme people can be, super nice or super like to dispute this dispute that...also, not to forget, the handsome and beautiful, the celebs, and etc etc...meet different people...
keeps your job more alive actually...rather than the computer, figures and the same people all the time...

hmm.. that's my job...well, weird hour, low pay and i am still lurving it???hahaha
somebody call hougang...

Adventure of the week...

Hey it's wednesday, feeling reflective as usual cos it's mid-week!!! LURVE IT!!!
just came back from work, not too tired, cos hitched a ride on Robert's transport, thanks to ET!
listening to David Tao-Pu tong peng you...totally lurve the song and him..keke

Today went great,in fact ah boon helped me throughout the whole shift, never leaving me to die..she sort of pops up whenever I need help, dunnoe from where, but just some how she'll appear..which relieved me a lot, faced with an irrtating ma-ma and a super tired and frustrated guest, she's sure of great help, super experienced in handling these people..very pei fu her..mm..sort of turned to respect her..she's not really what we imagined her to be la...first impressions are usually wrong?? hmm..never know..but i like the way she is now, at least i know she's not really all talk kinda person, she has substance.

Today ended really late and it was super super long...*exploit us!!!!* but what to do..trainees...keke
on our part, we can help by cheonging the reg cards as fast as we could la..the rest is up to AM already..anyway, today i learnt to do miscelleanous, as in the letters printing, i guess it's easier for me because I've done clerical work at Hyperions the last time and I am familiar with these kind of work...i lurve doing this cos you get to sit inside the back office, without the stress of the outside lobby and no need to face the stupid mamas, and irritating, super not understanding, ultra demanding, and idiotic guests...*see how evil these people can be??* all we can do is..SMILE...inside my heart, I can imagine myself tearing them apart *ET affected me*..hahaha

the exciting thing before i ended shift was norman needed help to clean up room, i was stoning and he asked me to help, I couldn't technically cos I have never learnt that in school and am not trained at all, then at home also never really do house wor..*hmmm...??* then i went la, super excited cos three of us cleaning one room with one housekeeper! keke
All i could do it strip the bedsheets and put the new pillow covers, clear the rubbish and arrange the furniture, then as i walked pass the washroom, i realised my DM was cleaning the toilet!!! idol...totally changed my impression of him, although the impression he gave me is already super good cos he's like super good at his job, now that he did that, make me even respect him more man...
cool...
so after I've done all that..i just stood around hoping for somemore things to do..but i was not needed so he asked me to go down to help the afternoon shift finish up..which we have been trying to do for the past few hours...always seem never ending..it kinda sucks..keke but whatever, it doesn't really matter to me...i am fine..anyway, it's what we have not done..so what the heck la..

I NEED A BREAK!!! like i said holiday..but i tot of something even better!! go studio wu@!! and sweat it all out!!! my sister actually chio me go Amore exercise but me no $$ so can't really la..maybe go studio wu on friday for street jazz...and then saturday afternoon teach as usual, then sunday rest..since the three days i doing G shift got sometime in the evening for activities..yeah!!

tmr working 6-2am..hope can end early..or at least on the dot...or maybe 30mins pass i quite happy already..keke
yep..time to rest and get some beauty sleep! What should i get for edwin's birthday?hmm..

just as i thought life's going to be difficult..

while my graveyard shift went on well and smooth...fun in fact but very sleepy...worked with my favourite colleagues, gen and suelyn! keke..then had a weird schedule that followed..*i wonder*..but then it's ok, doesn't really matter ..

my next graveyard shift is on thursday, they are actually putting me on graeyard first which is quite surprising, after all that talking, sudenly I am going G shift..G shift is actually quite relaxed becos I am not cashier trained so basically I have to clear debris and do miscelleanous stuff like topping up the counters and then wait till morning..help E shift print reports and stuff..

just as i tot life would be bad, it wasn't so bad after all..at least for yesterday..well..it went well..just that it took longer then it should be, but doesn't matter..need to build up a camaradie ..maybe will work faster then...

i was thinking...basically i am ok with things thta are happening, and that's no very good...because I am too accomodating, people will then to "eat" me..sometimes i just dun know how to reject requests and be firm on what i stand for...

I am confused, need some time off and get away and get connected with myself...sort out things before I start getting confused again..i guess that's really life...the whole works like the ecosystem..people.. consists of prey, predators and scavangers...some get eaten up, some eats people up, and some clear up the mess....it's always the case then the system (workplace) is balanced...how very true... right now, i feel like a scavenger...i hope i'll never be a prey...rather be mean and be a predator...*survival??* well, who wants to be a prey???????ooo...

i sure hope to go for a short holiday..perhaps thailand...go for a spa, shoppping spree and another dive trip! I bet this time it'll be better than pulau aur ... but first, i need sponsor and I need company.. IF NOT, malaysia will be good enough then...just go maybe tioman or redang for a short short but very essential holiday...

once i graduate, nearest plan is to try for emirates. if plan fails...*touch wood* then I will go back to work for Ballymoon's!! heck what people think about this line...it's a great working place and I like it...isn't that what's suppose to matter?? hmm..keke lurve the tot of it!!! and if I get into emirates, I shall earn as much as i can, save up and go for a contiki tour at europe!!!! oh my god! the tot itself thrills me!!!!!! but of course, I have to clear myself off my debts first...*$6000....* when will i clear that man...gosh..

I wonder...

To write some thoughts before I leave my house to my hide-out...

Many things happened within the week, very dramatic and evil in nature..the two clans have recruited its disciples and there's the eviler twin attached to each other...while me and eileen to another...who is equally evil to that clan..cool...and scary...it was super fun to be part of our current "clan" and my leaders were super nice and great buddies in fact...what worries me is that the eveil ah boon will take any chance to get back at my "lord" hence she decideds to help our evil twin when she's at distress...*scary*...so from that day on, evil twin and ah boon has been good friends and after work, evil twin will always go to ah boon and chit chat and have some small laughs at the day's work so on so forth etc etc etc...la di da...b***H!! It scares me....what's my life going to be like???!!! still 19 more weeks to go???!!!!!argh!!!!!!!!!

not just that...there's another scary twin out there...tempremental and very fickle and impatient...she's just got onto a scarier position and it's pure scary...

shoudn't internship be fun and full of activities instead of all these nonsense??!! hmm... as yoda would say,"to stand on the fence, do not...to take sides, do not...decided what to do, you can..."

huh??? hai...what to do what to do???? just learn and do my part, the rest should be left as it is, should NOT even try to help my evil twin...in fact, me warning her about ah boon's evil is actually to safe guard myself so that she wun be too close to her and our lives wun be so pitiful...on the other hand, i seem nice to her she might misunderstand that i am on her side which in fact I am definitely not...my friends hate her and so do i...evil twin is a nice friend but a terrible work colleague...so how so how??? she's evil! she gossips like nobody's business...and she's scary!!!! so stay away from her as much as possible!!!!!! yea that's right! you did it!!! you made up your mind!!! mm.....

i wonder...
