After 4 months…

“Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.” - Oprah Winfrey

After deliberating over and over again, I have made up my mind to head on down back to Reception where I once belong. Went to have a short talk with Ms. Cindy and volla! I will be back to reception next month, June. Nonetheless, this four months will be an unforgettable experience. Not that I got tortured or anything, but a month long footsore is seriously VERY memorable to me! I respect those GSO's who spend their time standing by at the lobby with their 5" heels. *Salute*

Hmm, lemme see, what have I learned within these 4 months. Well, mostly F&B for breakfast and evening cocktails, stock orderings, meeting room reservation and set-up, making courtesy calls to listen to some guests who complains the whole world, but there are also those who praise all the staffs of their sincere services and smiles. Being mean to certain people and loving some of those around me.

Fell sick and got high on drugs thanks to me medication. Sadly, I ain't feeling any better. I am still feeling sick. Thanks a bunch Doc for giving me drugs that do no good to me. I had one hell of a time when I was talking to a caller who was making his reservation through me. Had to hold his call just to grab a drink. Thank God he was understanding enough. All in all, I think yesterday was disastrous. Gonna have to face the monster today. *Gasp*

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall." - Confucius

I shopped TOO much and got over budget, so it is time to suppress myself once again. Got myself new Mac products, Eco-vert is back with it's new name, Eco-something.  There are still so many things in mind, but too bad, those will have to wait till further notice *sigh*

 I still have not much progress with the preparation of my wedding plans. Well, at least we worked out on what we want and he is pretty much preparing for the ROM. I guess I will leave that to him then. Nevertheless, I couldn't wait to work out the guests! Although it will be a headache but, it's once in a lifetime *winks* I am SO excited!

 Yes, I admit that I do have a whole bunch of flaws, but somehow, he still picked me =D So girls, don't ever look down on yourselves. Always believe, and never doubt..

An unforgettable event of the day

Our 2nd year anniversary with two little muffins. You never fail to put a smile on my face, love. I am really glad that I have found you and to have you in my life. You light up my life, not by those two candles, but by those little things that you do.

Formula 1 @ Sepang, 25th March 2012 was an unforgettable day for me. It was the first time I got paddock tickets from my parents to my very first Formula One race, the first time my ears were tickled by the sounds of the F1 cars, the first time my boyfriend went up stage and sang to me, the first time I cried infront of public, and that's the start of the first day I got engaged to Chiang Choon Leong ♥ Everyone asked what were my feelings back then. Well, to be honest, my mind was blank and I was lost for words. I did not even manage to mumble out "I do", but thank God, my boyfriend knows me best *wink* And voilà! Here I am, engaged, and still in cloud 9. Soon, there will be a whole lot of planning to be done, and appointments to make. I will have to buck up! Rawr!

This was the song which he sang on our engagement night  ♥

As for work, I am still in the Executive Club Lounge, for some reason (which I myself have no clue). Mr Andy got a promotion to be the Manager of the Executive Club. It is really good to have a manager there. Because, in my point of view, the Club was haywiring. Let's just hope that things will turn out alright then. I am still contemplating on whether or not to change from Front Desk Reception to be one of the members of the Executive Club. Might have to go visit my aunt to discuss about it. But I wonder as a relative or as a worker (cos I might be needing both). If the offer is good, then I don't mind being there (I guess).

Bumped into Cherry during my break, and she got me a souvenir! Yeah, I was really happy. Anyways, we chatted and gossiped as usual. It's been awhile since we did that, just because I could hardly meet up with her now when I am stuck at Executive Club. Ming Sang is busy with his girlfriend now, holidaying at Langkawi. And Alan, well, he's busy with his girlfriend and work I guess. It's been awhile since we updated each other on what's happening. Oh well, hopefully everyone is doing alright then. We should really make another outing. I really miss them, a LOT!

It's just not my thing...

I have been stationed at Executive Club Lounge for a month. And I could tell you that the place is just not my thing and is plain HORRIBLE. It is really sad to see how they handle things up there. I just can't wait till next month so I could actually get out of that place. There are just too many complains from me that I wouldn't want to say out just yet. Let's just leave it as it is until I really could not hold it in anymore. From my point of view, Reception staffs are MORE helpful than those at Executive Club. Even so, the Lounge is not really that all bad, they do have a handful of staffs who are wonderful and nice. Well, it takes only one rotten apple to spoil the lot. But above all that, I would like to give a very big thank you to Shidi, Zamri, and Hanim who guided me through the F&B part. And also to Lydia, although she is quite new to Exec Club, but she really tries her best to help me too.

To the trainees at Exec Club, Fiona (who talks a lot), Suzanne (the quiet one), Jonathan (I didn't work with him but I would just like to express my gratitude), Choo (the laser mouth), and to all the other trainees who were there before me. Thanks a bunch for helping out! You all are seriously a great help at Exec Club. Where would we all be without you guys. Well, a pair of helping hand is better than none at all :)

Let's just cut out the bad part, here's the awesome part!

1. Got my new PC from Digital Mall (Present from my parents)!
2. Waiting for Kenn Swee to update me on his staff price for a Dell monitor. Hasn't got back to me with the price yet (I wonder when he's free to get it).
3. Found three close friends at GMKL to hang out with (Cherry, Alan, and Ming Sang). Thanks guys, for accompanying me and updating me with more gossips and hot news happening at GMKL. They are there for me to whine to and not to mention, GOSSIPS!
4. Lydia and Shidi is getting married! (I really want to go over to their wedding! And so does everyone else)
5. Got myself a new novel to keep myself company
6. Going to get my room pimped

Anyways, I will be counting down to the month of April! Seriously couldn't wait any longer!

Cheers to my favorite month of the year

First time using my phone to update my blog. There are just too many things to be updated due to the long break from my blog. Was too busy and lazy! Let's get started where I last stopped.

1. Went out with Sam and Jermz to KLCC. Photographers on field
   


2. Christmas is not to be missed! Time to exchange gifts. Have a tough time thinking about what to buy
   
   


3. Got a new plushie for myself
   


4. Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur (GMKL) Staff Gathering on December
   


5. A trip back to Penang with my family and him for Chinese New Year. Yummy yummy angpows!
   


6. First night outing with my colleagues after work
   


7. Car broke down in the middle of the road @ Kuchai Lama. I thought that I was jinxed because I got flat tyres, then my air-condition failed, and my car battery dieded.. TWICE!
   


8. Daddy's birthday! Surprised him at his work place with a bunch or Carl's Jr takeaway for his birthday celebration
   


9. Birthday present from my other half. "Seriously loving it bibz. Thank you!"
   
   From my brother and dasao. More loves!
   
   And a birthday dinner plus cake from my lovely parents. Indescribable by words!
   
   A big thanks to my bibz for taking me to and fro from work on the eve of my birthday. And for taking me out for a birthday supper. And also to my family for taking me out for a sushi buffet dinner @ Saisaki, which contributes to my additional pounds!


10. GMKL staff gathering @ February
    


11. My hair from bright highlights to dark. And not to mention, our hair grew ;D
    

There were loads of ups and downs at my workplace during these few months but hey, I am still here and alive. Not to mention there is a man-made God at my workplace, doing God-like stuffs (asp Ming Sang). Nonetheless, everything is wonderful! Got confirmed, got to see my aunt at my workplace during CNY, got Cherry-picked, helped a China ah kong and his family, got close friends at work, being nice to everyone and at times including God, got kicked up to Executive Club (hopefully only for a month), and I think that's about it at my workplace.

My family has been there for me... Always.

1. They called someone to redo my brother and my room (I forgot her name).


2. They are upgrading my computer for me as a birthday present (still haven't survey about the prices @ Digital Mall).


3. My daddy got tickets for F1 @ Sepang again! (Got to take leave during then. Last year I couldn't make it, this year I would want to experience it)


4. Get a new iPhone 4 casing (Felt like getting one of those Gelaskins!) <-- This has nothing to do with my parents, just randomly putting it here :D

And last but not least, my bibz. Always there, bullying me! Even so, he is always loved for his cheekiness, and not to mention that loving and caring heart of his.

I just wanted to say, "I am still loving you, bibz."

A Brand New Start

It's been a month and a half working in Grand Millennium. It's one hell of a 5-star hotel. Yes, there are always pros and cons on certain places but heck, as long as I am enjoying myself there. It's always nice to see someone returning your smile. There are also some trainees over there who reminds me a lot about my training days back at Tanjung Rhu, Langkawi. Ate Raylyn, if you are reading this, I just wanted to say how much I'd like to thank you for taking care of me during those days. I am really glad to have stepped inside the dark, eerie, hostel where I first met you.

Working at Grand Millennium KL is one tough job. I seriously need a good foot reflexology right now. I have said that since the first week I started working. Sadly, I never made it. Met new friends once again. I am permanently at the reception right now, still in the process of learning. My supervisors are great; Ayu & Jasmine. Oh well, everyone have their own characteristics, so yeah. Anyway, everyone is really very helpful. A lot of them simply put smiles on my face. High occupancy just passed, now it's still high, and I was hoping I could sell people some suites *wink* But I seriously have to get my basics straight first.

Just had our staff party, Bollywood themed. It was my first staff party ever. And, it was quite exciting, except the part where one of the staff burnt himself down his throat. He should have been more careful. I have no clue who or how he is right now. But the last I heard, he was hospitalized. Oh! And I got myself six Gurallar glasses (More for decoration purposes). Couldn't believe that even new staffs have prizes. How nice of them.

Oh and not to mention, my car skidded at the flyover opposite SS15. Thank God I managed to slip between the victim and the Myvi. I saw a few people running away from my car. That should teach them not to stand in the middle of the road then. Seriously, Malaysia is full of SELFISH citizens, and yet they slow down just to "scout the situation". If you want to help, then stop at the corner of the road and help, or call an ambulance? If not, DRIVE! (And that means driving at normal speed, NOT 20kmh.)

Just a quick update on some certain things.

1. Tommy has always been there; listening & advising


2. Went to Alan Ho's wedding @ Malacca (Yumcha-ed with Kevin & Canz also)


3. Tommy proposed for us to stay @ both my house & his alternately (I will have to talk to my parents about that)


4. Sam & Jermz is coming over to Bukit Bintang! Gonna meet up with them


5. Mei & Adrian is coming down to KL too!


6. I have a guest who likes me! *winks*

Alright, I should be in bed right now. My schedule is 7am till 3pm this week, so I have to be up by 4.40am. So, goodnight!

A bit of everything

Tommy and I went over to i-City before I started my working life. I really enjoyed myself just because it has been awhile since we went out on our last date. Got a few pictures of us and the lights. It wasn't really that attractive, but his presence is what made everything perfect.



Met up with Fang Mei last week. She came over to KL for the weekend and met up with her friends over here @ KL. Thank God I had a chance to meet up with her. When I first saw Adrian, I was like "WTF?". Seriously he became much more rounder and tanner. But it's good to see that he's living a great life. He's a workaholic, but it's a good thing cos its his father's company. Chit-chatted with them for awhile and nibbled the creme brulee that she brought over. Glad to catch up with her after so long! She will be visiting KL soon but still in planning process. She wanted to stay at my workplace but I am not quite sure how much is the staff rate.

Oh yeah, I got the job at Grand Millennium! Just finished my second week of training in various departments in the hotel. Still another two more days to go; executive club and bellman. I wonder where will I be stationed at after that. Anyway, this training thingy was Ms Cindy's way of doing things and I do think that this is a great idea. At least people will know what is going on in most of the departments. But still, those senior front office staffs don't seem to understand somehow. There are those who critic her and those who like her; I am neutral just because I don't want to get involve in anything. Nevertheless, I am really enjoying myself. All in all, I seriously like housekeeping staffs the most. They are hardworking and they really work extra hard. Got my half month salary on the 28th October 2011. I am a step nearer to my iPad 2!


Housekeeping Supervisor for a Day

And I have met different types of people @ my workplace. From friendly to arrogant, smart to dumb. Nevertheless, this is what makes up a nice working environment. There is never a workplace without politics. This is what I believe in. So hopefully I will be neutral all the way.

I met with an accident on Tuesday (25th Oct 2011) while I was exiting my hotel. Seriously, this taxi uncle was BLIND! I was actually quite okay with the scratch, but when he came out from his car, he blamed me for not looking at him reverse. That really got me off the hook. I made me speechless and he was lucky there were so many people around, or I would have whacked him till he's half dead. Bah! Talking about him makes my mood bad. Oh well, here's a picture of his "so-called-injured" car when he tried to show off his car is also damaged. I snapped at him by comparing it to mine, and once again, he was speechless. Blind dumbass taxi grandpa.

Tommy went outstation today, going to be back on Monday. Oh well, plans for Sunday; rot and rest at home. Hopefully no one is going to bother me about anything. I just felt like sleeping till late in the afternoon, get my laundry done, and continue sleeping. The weekend sloth is here! *winks*


Constipated much

My "Warmest" Hello to the Green-eyed Monster

It's amazing that green-eyed monsters still exist. Oh wait, they are everywhere to be exact; lurking in the darkest corners of our lives. This particular one decided to pop out and attack. Well, to be honest, you really did put your foot in my mouth, but somehow I figured "Why should I be bothered by this lowlife? I'd better enjoy my life torturing you, 'unintentionally'." And, for you to be so pumped up about a silly little thing. Tsk tsk.. Just how old are you again? You have someone you should be taking care of right now, so why bother "kaypeeseeing" about the life of others? If you hate it, why bother looking at it? For once in your life, please make use of your brain. It is not there just for decoration purposes. I have heard little about your life, to me, they are just one of those cock and bull stories. I am sorry to be so harsh, but that's how I feel.

Yes, he is the apple of my eye, but that doesn't mean I have to constrain him and strip him from his freedom. I believe that he is mature enough to know the rights and wrongs. And I trust that he will not do anything behind my back. But if you are planning to open old wounds, don't blame me for ripping you apart.

xoxo
