Hi guys.
Life here is still okay, but I miss the college days when we all attend classes and hangout during lunch and after college. Time spent together with friends are great. Having fun n just enjoying ur life.
Though sometimes I may think training sucks, as in, Im providing free labour and being abused by the people, being forced to obey them and threatened. Disobeying means termination. Cant believe this shit. This is how they get manpower, big clap for these people seriously.
In another point of view, its not just a training which you can apply ur knowledge into skills. Its also training you to adapt to the real working life out thr and to widen your viewing perspectives. To see the realistic life once you step out of your wonderful college life. Picking up communication skills, developing a heavier sense of responsibility as well as some simple things such as getting your ass out of the bed to work on time.
Yeahh I hav to admit that my training life has been very relaxing as compared to many others who has to work in FNB or banquet shit. I've been an office boy since the very first day of training and I should quit complaining or whining to irritate anyone. Ive been working in IT department for 3 months and I guess its enough. Im hoping to move on to PR, Finance and Sales till the end of the training period.
.........................................................................................................................................................................
Humans are just so hard to please sometimes. The little things you do are just not good enough. U do A, they said B. U do B, they said A. Sigh. So much of contradiction.
Anyways, Its 2.30pm now and Im waiting to see 4.50pm on the right corner of the screen. After that, its bedtime for me. Im so gonna slp my ass off, I've been very very freaking emotional lately and I need to chill. Good night.

Hi guys!
Hi Im back from Afghanistan. It took me few mths to reach here. Anyways..
What happened in:
December:
Nth much, just some shitty family problems.
I thk its fine now.
Couldnt stop smoking.
Moved from the refugees' FLAT to a much more better APARTMENT. Suriamas.
C'est magnifique.
January:
Training at Dorsett Regency Hotel started.
Supposed to be in F&B, Room divisions, and another 2 administrative departments.
But ended up in IT department with no relevance to the current course Im doing now.
But it was really cool!
I as a trainee there, performed duties which are beyond the level of a trainee.
As a trainee I myself got a speed dial. LOL! To troubleshoot staff's PCs, and guest's PCs.
Couldnt stop smoking.
Finally Im using a new phone now. LG Secret! A gift from my aunt!
February:
There was one weekend which I went back to JB to meet up my friends.
In my workplace, helping the guest was the best part of all.
Get to chat with them, and sometimes by contributing a little help can get you a job in Australia.
How rewarding can this job be?
Couldnt stop smoking.
Quitting my job in Dorsett and gonna transfer to Sunway Resort & Spa, due to the inconvenient transportation available in Malaysia, the country you just love to hate, and the money Ive spent on the fucked up Taxis, KTMs, Monorails and LRTs, but no bus.
Interview on this coming week, and bad news is I have to work in Dorsett till tuesday.
I love my work but I hate the journey.
I will miss the place and some really nice people including my superior.
And I will continue to place no trust in Human Resources Department.
And I've finally learned something.
Dont have to think about the shitty things that had happened in your relationship all the time. Being emotional is fine but not for long, this maybe the mistake which most people commit, I wonder? Maybe just myself.
Not being confident wont get you far.
PS: Im not trying to boast over what ive learnt but just trying to share something which I do not want my friends to fall into the same trap.
YEEHA! Finally I can post photos here! I will try my best to snap more photos and share it here. A million thanks to my current phone seriously!
Photos to be updated soon. Cya!

Its been a busy week for me recently, preparing all the assignments and assessments. But Im glad its all over now, just 2 more presentations. Did one, now left French..Time really flies by, now this term 4 is going to end soon again. And that means its time for exams. Okay enuff of skul shits.
I've been thking bout this..How do u define a nice person? Isit just friendly and kind? Or that person musnt be selfish as well? Sometimes ppl often whine about one's weakness. And that particular weakness is often dominant, controlling what you thk about that person, and giving an immediate judgement towards that person. Okay it goes like this...
Ah long = Selfish.
While comments are being passed regarding one, it is often that only his weaknesses are mentioned. And it kinda makes the society thks that, selfish ppl arent good ppl. A person being selfish isnt morally wrong, and another point is how the fuck are u going to measure that? Thats y, if you dont truly noe someone, just shut the fuck up. Dont spread negative ideas/comments about the person. It doesnt only affect the victim, and once its being spread, it affects the thking of the society.
I duno y Im suddenly writing this, I mean, Im supposed to be talking about hotels, and now this makes me feel like a Mass Communication student. Teehee. cya

Emptiness.
Human needs can be categorized into few. Basic needs, safety needs, self-esteem and sense of belongingness. I start to question myself, am I lacking sense of belongingness? I wonder. However, during this term which is term 4, I notice a great change in me. My thinkings and eventually my character. I duno if its realistic surroundings thats changing me or its just me.
Anyways, working at Tony Roma's was fun. It has helped me to build up my self confidence in serving guests but Im still gonna quit soon. Having 4 bucks per hour just doesn't feel right. Their way of minimizing labour cost makes me feel like they're abusing us. Look whos working there. Ppl from Myanmar, Bangladesh, as well as malays. Chinese? They're smart enough to work only part time there. But some smarter ppl is even smart enough to choose not to work there. I nd $ and Im going sumwhr else.
However, Im lucky to be here. Being able to study here isnt easy and I thank my family for their hard work. They've played their roles very well in bringing us up and giving us education and stuffs. Although I noe they're not reading this, but I would like to thank them here.
Thanks for everythg and I love u all.
Skul is boring, some lecturers suck hard, and workplace isn't rewarding enough. Instead of sitting down here and whine, I should seek motivation and a job at some other place. Ciao~

Down, guilty and glad.
Todays working session was really exciting..My station was fully filled with guests and I got complaints from 3 tables. 2 tables complaining about the doneness of their steaks, while one more was about a wrong order I took. LOL. Okayyy so that 2 tables, I wasnt the one to be blamed. It should go to the kitchen department, and I was lucky that I wasnt the one who attended to them too, that means I wasnt being scolded. HE HE HE. But the 3rd one...Hmm. Theres part 1 and part 2 for it.
Part 1. They told the ppl that there was supposed to be one more dish, but I didnt key in into the micros. I was like.."Ohh okayy.." "One fish and fries" I told myself, and key-ed in into the micros. Then after some time, they complain again, saying it wasnt what they've ordered. So I checked again, "Oh shit. It was Onion Loaf Half portion..." Then the manager helped me to key in. "Lippy, I key-ed in already ahh.." - Manager
"Okay okay..thank you thank you.."- Lippy
Part 2. While all the guests have left and it was time to do my closing duties, the guest came back. I was told to come out from the kitchen suddenly. Then I realised that the guest paid for 2 onion loaf according to the receipt. The manager then showed me the receipt, and at that very moment, I felt guilty as fuck..The guests were really nice cos previously Ive took wrong order and they werent even mad or sth. Still talked to me happily. And now Im making them paying for sumthg extra. I've failed in attempt to make their trip enjoyable. Well in the end I dont have to pay, the manager just made some amendments. At that moment while my mood was down to earth, they didnt even scold me or nag me. Instead, they've given me encouragement and motivation to keep my head up. They just told me its okayy to make mistakes and even asked if I was too tired or sth. If it was my previous manager (at my prev workplace), Im definitely fucked now. I feel different after that.
After work, me and harry went to Jaafar to eat. And called up JY to meet up. Chatted for some time and after that we all went home.
I really enjoy working here. Only by working here, Im able to feel that Im an asset to the company. And obviously at my prev workplace, I didnt feel this way. I wonder when I can be treated the same way again the next time I go to work...This might be the last time. The next time I go to work will be my training session for college. Kinda thk that I'll be treated like shit.
Ciao~
