time flies. year 2009 is an eye opening year for me.

Did my attachment in Mandarin Oriental Singapore. Have already finished my Front Offfice attachment and am now, having my attachment in the Banquet Department.

I would say i do enjoy those times in Front Office. Colleagues are great during work. They turn friends after work which then turn into party animal. Sadly to say, one by one, they are leaving. :(
Front office has been really a great exposure to me. I get to meet all kind of guests everyday,. Super rich, Absolutely nice, Incredibly nasty ones.. well, u get to see Superstars as well. Been attached to the Club Lounge for 2 mths. i would say, it is really fun. Fun and bitchy talks with the bitches up there. and 1 more impt thing, Non stop eating and munching. Gosh. the garlic peanut. Come to think of it, my stomach is grumbling alr. Guests up there are mostly civilised and less demanding even though they pay more money than the regular ones.
Frankly speaking, i do really miss my times there. But there is not where i wan to be. i wish to be at somewhere else in the hotel.

Next up, life in Banquet! INITIALLY, i simply dread dread dread it. when i was in Front office, i was sent to help out in Banquet which is our so-call Fire Brigade. Alright, life being a fire brigader was great. But when i 1st started out as a trainee in Banquet, i would say it is shit. i really hate it. i want to go home everyday sharp when i end my shift. But no! they will not release till the function ends. Sucks. But much brain wash by the Disgusting guy in Banquet who is Edwin, he simply jus brain-wash me. From the nickname they have given me - Late Queen, i have started to kick this habit away. I began to like it more. I can feel the enjoyment i have in there.

We have a F&B Chalet a few weeks back. well, i really bond ppl tgt. i feel that i am not like a loner in there anymore. i feel the sense of belonging finally. but jus when i realised it, i left with less than a month in banquet. i really feel sad to left the department. Though it is really physically tired, but i do not know why i did not lose but gain weight, i feel the sense of enjoyment aft finishing some tasks being assigned to me. Turning of room, Setting up the room and etc. i really learn alot from there.

For now, i left with less than 2 weeks in Banquet. For this 2 weeks, will be the busiest moment for me. APEC - Obama and the rest of the minister from the world are coming. and i got this opportunity to participate in it. It is really a plus plus plus point to my portfolio in future. Next up, will be Morgan Stanley. it will be our hotel huge event! this investment company gona take up 4-5 level of the rooms in the hotel. Admirable yeah?
I gona end my attachment in such a hectic ways. it is worth it seriously!

After this 9mths of attachments, i gained much more experience than i have previously.
all i wish is to actualy get the post that i wanted for, for now. for that, i will remain confidential and not leak out which 2 posts am i eyeing on actually. .

well, hope all the best to me.
