passing on
Wednesday, May 30, 2007


it's been a hectic day! haha!! feel that i should be blogging down... though i should be getting ready for my performance tommorrow... haha!

well, it's the last day of my mentor, so there were quite a number of things that she needs to pass down to me.

i started off the day looking at the "in" tray, to see quite a number of quotations and news clippings waiting for me to file in. After flipping through the newspapers and looking for hotel related news, ms yeong, yiwen and i started having a meeting =).

The meeting (a informal one at our work station) took quite long cos there was lots of things that yiwen has to pass down to me. I must admit, that i have still very uncertain about certain aspect of the job scope, but i believe the guidelines she gave will get me prepared for the challenges that i will be facing =P

the meeting ended pretty late... around 12.20pm. my friends from the sales department had already went for lunch, so i hurried down to the staff canteen to join them and had a quick lunch. Later, we went for a shopping trip! haha!! We didnt really go shopping cos by the time we finished our meal, we were left with 15 minutes and we cant go far. So, as usual, we went to the national library where there is Han's, to get some cake. Well, i didnt want to get any cos i m dieting!! haha!! so no snacking =P But i ended up buying 3 swissroll! haha! Not for myself of cos, but my mentor yiwen who is leaving.... felt that i should at least buy her some things before she leaves... afterall, she did teach me some stuff that had benefited me some way or another =)

later in the office, i started to continue with the filing and recording of some of the freshly arrived documents... *tired!

then as time pass, things kind of get more and more hectic.

Firstly, yiwen brought me to meet the person-in-charge of the designs in person and introduced her to me. Then, one by one, she introduced me to the various HOD. When we finally completed our "tour", i returned to the office, my sup dropped a bomb at me!!! i were to attend a meeting later in the evening!! and there were a couple of articles to get ready! *pish! really nervous of and scared of what is going to happen later.

then, i start to cut, glue, and zap stuff that were needed... blah blah blah... not to forget, i was in heels and standing most of the time... pain, pain, pain =(

the meeting in the evening, though made me nervous, but was anticipating as well. It's the first time i feel that i am really working!! haha! cos, it's a meeting conducted in "real life context"... unlike jcrc meetings, or drama meetings where things u do are more on the school base projects or maybe less serious in other words. attending a meeting like this had been something i look forward to experience cos it really does expose myself on how the "working adults" are operating...

so, the time arrived where i leave my desk for the meeting. as we were a small department itself, we updated our share and left the meeting room... haha!! it felt strange. to a certain extent, jcrc works about the same, in the sense that during meeting, the portfolio update their stuff, and we will wait until everyone update the whole committee about what's going on before we go round and ask if there is future queries and such. but, here, our department basically update our actions, followed by allowing the people to voice their share of opinions... and we can simply leave the room =/

never had i attended a meeting so SHORT! lol!

anyway... with my mentor's resignation... i feel really stress and nervous, but at the same time excited of what i m going to face in the next few weeks... i hope to really perform well... i really do. i hope my sup and manager can recognise my effort, my diligence, and my passion... and would give me a pretty testi after that.... cos i know, this is the industry that i want to work in =) yeah... =)

so, the day ended and i regretted not giving yiwen a goodbye hugzz... cos, somehow i feel paiseh la! haha!! good luck for everything in life, yiwen =)

and that's all for today... wa.. it's a long entry again once again... paiseh! haha!

Listen
Tuesday, May 29, 2007



Listen- Beyonce


Well... had been an eventful day today... ha! It's gonna be a long entry... please enjoy the music while reading... i really love this song....

went to the gym this morning... didnt get to see the leggy guy... but i saw another leggy guy! haha!! just fyi, liwei, he was wearing a red sleeveless T! haha!

anyway... the song you are hearing now is called "LISTEN" by Beyonce... woo... her strong vocal caught me, or rather, it blew me off! haha! came to know this song after watching dreamgirls! haha! it's not a bad movie... but not worth the $$ for a movie ticket.... ha!
anyway, the lyrics is below =)

after exercising... i had fishball noodles for lunch! haha! yummy yummy... so delicious that i actually lost track of time....

Tourism Hospitality Management interview at 2pm! and freak! i have only one hour to rush there. the train will take me about 55minutes and even if i were to take a cab down to the meeting room, i wont be able to get there on time, changed!

so... there goes my $$ to the evil taxi driver... =( haiz... my heart aches... can someone comfort me =( it's $22+++

*sad* sobz...

then it was the THM interview... i felt that i did well. but from the past experience from Hyatt Hotel... i have this uneasy feeling that though it felt as though it went well, i wasnt selected in the end. i'm really afraid that history will repeat. *sigh... it feels really bad when things arent within your own control. it's pretty irritating and helpless...

anyway, i lost my way... couldnt find the venue. (now, if i had not taken a cab, i think i have bloody screw up this interview by being super late! gee... as a saying goes.. yin huo de fu...) more embarrassingly, i was lead the way by prof joan, one of the interviewer... so paiseh la! haiz.. i hope i didnt leave a negative impression on her... =(

during the interview, they wanted me to tell them more about myself. typical questions during interview that i have longed prepared for my internship interview... but of cos, i did have some revision on the taxi itself... [i went through some of the typical questions that were asked in a typical interview during my cab-ride to school... and coloured my cheeks and got myself ready... not wanting to waste anytime]

so i threw in wat i had prepared... talking about my internship most of the time, and briefly touched on my commitments in jcrc and chinese drama.

actually, i must really stop complaining about my internship cos i think it really had saved me. when asked about some of the challenges that the hotel industry in singapore is facing, an article that i read and filed in during the course of work rescued me for this question. i hope i did answer well... ha! *pray hard*... and i spoke to them also, about how fortunate i m currently in marcom department as it was a department tt understands the inside out of the operation of a hotel... and this statement is future backed by the director of HR, who happened to speak to me during the birthday party... i m lucky... really! but, will my luck run out... hope not... =( at the end of the interview, came a typical question from the interviewers, "do u have any questions that you would like to ask?"

well... having done my research previously for my job interview in carlton hotel, the typical question would be to ask the qualities that they are looking at for the selection of the candidates. RESULTS. ya... as typical as can be. they are looking at the results ultimately for their selection... which upsets me loads as it's kind of undeniable fact that i m not a "result-excellence student"... haiz... they did mention that they held the interview so as to select students apart from the academic results, but i guess the system would have had my application denied before it appears in front of the profs for "selection" =/

haiz... sad....

then met qianyi on my way out of the interview. walked back to hall after her interview which she claim to be bad... haiz...

so once again, i entered the room... feeling as disgusted as ever... dusty and "hairy"... sigh! it's really an unsightful sight! freaking disgusted! started clearing some stuff... packing my books and files into boxes to ease my moving when the new sem start =)

cleaned the dirty dust of the fan, and dumped my sweaty shirt from the gym this morning into the greatest invention--- the washing machine! haha!!

it took me quite some time to pack and clean my stuff... didnt want to sweep the floor cos i m really fed up with the fact that she doesnt sweep the floor at all! [there was one lump of hair on the floor when i opened the door... and the room smell, as usual, SMELLY!]

but, i just couldnt stand it! even though i know that dust and her hair will eventually "flew over" to my side of the room, i just cant tolerate it... decided to sweep the floor in the end before i left. senior camp is drawing near... shall mopped the floor then... dun really want xiaohui and yiling to sleep in my room, on the dusty dirty floor.... =/

so... i left the hall...

met gary at the bus stop, who is on his way for his tuition lesson with a primary 4 kid! haha! really interesting to hear his "teaching experiene".... honestly, i really admire those people who are conducting tuition while studying... cos it's really a "long-term commitment and responsibility that one had to make and i dun really like it"... which i initially implied that it would be a very heavy burden to answer to parents stress and emphasis esp when the tutoring kid and yourself have exams drawing nearer..... but gary's response was, "oh! then you better not get urself into a relationship".... hmm....

his words repeated in my mind of a moment.... maybe, he is true about that too... i m not ready for a relationship... but whatever... this kind of thing is about fate and destiny... shall not let myself think too much into it! =/

then i was there one train earlier... waited for pathetic no. 4 haha!! cyndee! =)

she had changed her bag... no longer that black ugly billabong bag! haha!! cyndee i know you are reading!! your black coloured bag is really ugly!! haha!! did anyone tell you this before! haha!! and with that beige bag of urs, which make u look feminine, when are you going to change your hairstyle? please stop pinining up ur hair... you are in uni... not JC or Secondary! =PpPp

we shared a lot on the train ride back to simei... how we had been "experiencing life"... well... i hope i didnt leak out anything important of confidencial... better not... hmm... i think i did not... ya...

anyway, it's been really great to have your accompany cyndee =) really hope to see you sooner... haahaa!

well... ok, that's the end of this entry... really long har??!! geee.... do you like the song?

Liwei, this was the song that i was trying to sing when we stepped outside the gym room... couldnt find a link to download it, so, i ve it played in imeen... =P hope you enjoy! and looking forward to see you this thursday =) Seeya!

and to all others who is reading my blog... please enjoy the song once again =)
the lyrics is below


Listen -- Beyonce.

[Verse1]

Listen
To the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete
Listen
To the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release
Oh, the time has come
For my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen

[ CHORUS ]
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known

Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I've followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've got to find my own

[ VERSE ]
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died so long ago
Oh, i'm free now
And my dreams will be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worse
Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen

[ CHORUS ]
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known

Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I've followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've got to find my own

[ BRIDGE ]
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't
Listen
To the song here in my heart
A melody I start but I will complete

[ 2nd part of CHORUS ]
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I've followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I've got to find my own, my own

what a long day
Tuesday, May 22, 2007


Finally... the day is ending.... *breathe out*

paired with this senior, very very pretty senior, today. she's leaving the hotel at the end of this month and i will be taking over her for sometime before being transferred to another department.

currently working in marketing communication as an intern. felt really like an extra cos there isnt any workstation for me yet. spent most of the time doing things that i really think is "intern jobs"! cutting and pasting newspaper clippings, filing, faxing and even going to nearby stationary stores to get the transparent folder the hotel's housekeeping department does not have..... =/

felt very sleepy throughout the day... and it's pretty embarrassing cos the senior noticed that! *paiseh*

worse of all... i was left alone to eat lunch. that senior had a lunch appointment; my department head too, had a lunch appointment. i feel soooo extra lo. haiz....

it become more disappointing when i stepped into the canteen. well, yesterday's orientation had had food provided. so we had buffet at the cafe which was really yummy and delicious. if u were to rank the food in the cafe vs the food in the canteen out of 5 stars, i'll give 4 stars or the cafe, and negative 5 stars for the canteen! haha!! so disappointed! luckily i'm just an intern. just have to tahan a few weeks... i dun think i will visit the foodcourt in raffles shopping centre that often... considering that the amount i earn is so pathetic... but can u imagine those who are there for.... YEARS!!!

*sigh*

only at the later part of the day i feel myself more involved. was being invited into conversation, and saw a familiar face, sharon, who when to the orientation with me yesterday. I really hope to get myself use to the working environment asap... still having a bit of culture shock plus a bit of nervous due to the uncertainty in the job scope =(

hao lei ya!!

anyway, i m not in love or dating with anyone... please dont read too deep into my previous entry! haha!! how can i be in love... must got nan ren yao also ma....

and the wake up call from kor was some other things pertaining to some personal stuff.... =( ... so dun read into it too much!! lol!! [u noe i m referring to "u".. haha!]

looking forward to step into the gym room once again.... i really wanna lose weight. Need to. For the sake of it. I MUST do it! MUST!!! Jiayou!!!

speaking about ivan, it's real coincidence that this guy, whom i never met before, is having his internship with isabel too =) haha!! bell was asking for my brother's name, cos she heard from ivan that his fren's sister applied for internship in panpac... and coincidently, bell knew me! haha!! the world is really very small! hehe!! sometimes... the kind of "connection" is really cute... when ur fren happens to know ur siblings' good frens... haha! or when ur fren happens to be your other fren's "distaaaaaance" relatives etc. =P


--------------------------


been very sluggish today... slept at around 4 am this morning cos of this korean drama "Only You" =) It's pretty cute... haha! took me the whole day to complete it! 16 espisode with english subtitles in youtube. It has a nice ending, but it's a bit too brief, i think.
