Working Life
As promise, i will try to make it a habit to blog! (Just trying not to break my promise! )
Been slacking at home since the end of F1, and finally my bro asked me to work his is kind of a very simple job as i am only require to facilitate the meetings that are happening in this company. I use the word 'facilitate' as it really sound nicer when people ask me. It is a super long hour kind of job, yet an easy money.
Job Scope:
-Sit at the reception
- Wait for people to come for meeting
- Greet them and bring them to the meeting room
- Serve drink if they want. If not, self service
- Top-up snacks, and drinks.
- Help brew coffee, tea or milo if they want
- Sit there do nothing until they ask for help
-Get lunch, dinner and supper (if they want)
- Clear up the place and throw them away
- say bye to everyone and go!
Timing: highly depending. (today, 0900hrs to 2300hrs, which is freaking 14hrs or even more) But they usually want people at night... so...
That is like basically what i had done for the whole day! hahaha (except for the last point, cause i am still sitting at the seat)
Something new that i discovered today is this freaking awesome lift that i never seen in my life. Why is it awesome? There is no other buttons beside 'open' ,'close', 'speaker' buttons inside the lift.
Then how are you going to go to the level that you wanna go? You have press the buttons outside the lift, which they then will assign you a lift to take. Thus, no more running to the lift last min, hoping that you can take the lift.
Don't you think this is dam cool??
Helped one of the meeting group to get Korean food from this restaurant named, BQ Korea... It is kind of expensive as it average price per set is around $13. After getting them the food, i got the urge to get some Korean food as well. Instead of getting from the same restaurant, i decided to get it at a food court. (obviously it is at a cheaper rate)
First time tried the chicken bibimbam... not bad, but if you are not a veg lover, you might not like it... cause every mouth you eat, you will eat the veg. haha..
wondering is it suppose to be like this? haha (a bit messy though)
I think should stop here... If not i won't be going home.. hahah!

Hi Everyone! :)
Hi Peeps,
It have been long since I last blog and suddenly feeling lie blogging while rotting at home for the past few days after F1...
I am definitely not a blogger as I am not a person that will consolidate all my thoughts at one time, thus result in no able to think of things to blog. But i had found an alternative; Twitter! I allows me to say whatever i want at the time. (too bad i don't have wi-fi)
Another reason that I am trying to blog is that i am reading someone else blog and i think that it help others to know a bit more bout yo. Or at least someone who concern about you can know what you been doing lately. ^^
I bet no one will visit my blog for NOW, as it has been dead for years!! I am trying to make it a habit. hehe Something good about it is that my blog become a little secret hiding place for me as Facebook and twitter is no longer a place where i can say freely about my mind. :)
Been feeling bad mood recently due to people around me. If i am grant with a special ability, it will the capability of mind reading. I really want to know how people around me thinks. I am a girl who thinks alot, (I really hope that i am not) but i just can't help to think. Things that i always ask myself:
- What kind of friend/people am i to others?
- Am i very irritating?
- Do they like me? Or they are just to nice to not told me off infront of me?
- Are they feeling comfortable with me?
- many many many more..
And i think is this kind of questions that really bring my mood down. People have been telling me to ignore others thinking as i live for myself and not others. But come to think of that, aren't my life surrounded with people.
For example,
I have been involve in the F1 this year and i wondering how the rest see me as a colleague and friends. It can get really irritating as there is no answer to it! Unless i walk to one of them and ask straight to the face, but once again, they might be too nice to tell you... I guess i reallly need some time to recover. :(
Being positive, something good about me having bad mood, i won't have appetite... Might feel hungry, but just don't know what to eat... hahaha! and i try to tone down but talking lesser.. ^^
I should blog about F1 soon... :)

Business Etiquette and Service Excellence
Business Etiquette and Service Excellence (BeSe) is a module that all Leisure and Resort Management (LRM) and Culinary and Catering Management (CCM) students take during the 2.2 sem. Throughout this module, we will be taught about the type of business etiquette like dress code, how to react during business setting and basic make up. As for service excellence, videos of the type of and correct service have been shown to us during lecture. Beside these, there are many other topic have been teach to us which i will talk about it and how they will benefit me in future later.
I felt that this module is extremely useful when we start our Internship Programme as well as when we go out of the society, as the things that we learned are able to be apply. Especially during Internship, as this is the first time we stepped into the society, there is a lot of things that we don’t know. Therefore, it serves as a platform where we can prepare ourselves. BeSe is different from the other modules we learnt, as we normally learn the theory of a certain field. Whereas, in BeSe, the things we learnt are the interpersonal skills and how to interact with others, these skills are not able to learn from the other module.
To me the most memorable topics are the makeup session with shiseido, professional Presence and Corporate Politics. As I think that it will make a biggest impact in my future when I start working and internship. These topics enable me to have a better understanding of the business etiquette.
Professional Presence
During Professional Presence lesson, we are taught about the appropriate dress code and how to we behave and what we should do during business occasions. I felt that this is very useful as it is something that we don’t normally practise during our daily life.
Through the lessons, we are able to learn the proper meeting and greeting manner when we meet the potential clients. We also got to practise the appropriate behaviours like the way to receive and present namecard and what are the small talk’s topics we can use during business. This will help us in the future when we are networking in the industry, after learning BeSe, I am able to communicate with strangers and the correct way to approach them.
After I learnt the appropriate dress code, I start to become more observance in the people dressing formally. This could help me to take note on my dressing as well as the peers, it could also aids me in preparing my subordinate before meeting the clients. I had also have a better understanding on the dress code during different occasions for example what should I wear during a cocktail reception and what are the difference between smart causal and business causal. This will help me to better prepare myself when I go to work or meet the potential clients.
I had also applied what I had learned to my internship interview with the corporate world, I believe that the company will be impressed by my effort and thus hire me as their staff.
Email and telephone etiquette is also very important in the business setting as it is another way to connect with the clients. Thus by learning the etiquette, we know the appropriate ways in dealing the clients or business partners through phone and email. Besides, business partners, email and phone etiquette could also apply in our daily life such as writing a compliment email to a company or calling a friend, it is something that we have to learn to prepare us to communicate with others.
Makeup Session
I am glad that the school invited Shiseido to the conduct a workshop for every one of us as it could better prepare us to present ourselves to others regardless industry partners, colleagues or strangers. In which, the makeup skills and personal hygiene is very useful in term of business etiquette. As ‘us’ being the representative of the company, potential clients will be judging the company through our behaviour and presentation. Thus, if someone was unable to present themselves well, the potential clients might think that the company are unable to train their staff and leave a bad impression.
We could also prepare our future subordinates before meeting our clients, therefore it does not only benefit the ladies, and guys are able to have a better knowledge on the presentation of their subordinate.
Corporate Politics
In this topic, we learned what are the corporate politics and the ways to avoid them. After sitting through the 2 ½ hours of workshop, I am able to know the different type of politics. Tutor talks about the type of politics and her personal experience as well as the politics she had seen. After hearing the difference real life experience, I am amazed by the difference politics that could happen in the real life.
Therefore, after the workshop, I am able to know the possible politics that I might meet during my internship and when I start working. Being able to know, it could help me to avoid or solve the politics that might happen and thus are able to react to the situation. By identifying the politics that might happen in the corporate world, it also helped us to react by knowing the dos and the don’ts when working.
However, being corporate politics, some of it will have to be experience by ourselves to know more about the politics and will be able to react better in the future.
Therefore, I think that BeSe had helped my classmates and me in preparing ourselves to face the corporate world regardless as an internship students or a working adult. Being able to apply whatever we had learned during the module, I believe that we could become more outstanding than the rest of the competitors and impression our future partners. Besides the above mention topics, I believed that the rest of the topics are able to apply in the future. I am really glad that I am able to have this module and this have allow me to know more about the corporate world and the possible challangers I might meet in the future.
Do look for me if you want to know more about Business Etiquette and Service Excellence free feel to approach me! or drop a comment, I will be more than willing to answer all your question if i can. :) Thanks for your attention.

Happy Birthday MOO MOO....
Today went to Top Table (It is a fine dining resturant in TP manage by HTM,LRM&CCM students, which mean i will be there next year.!!!) The price is fairly alright, considered cheap for a fine dining. It costs us $41 for 3 pax.
.
Erm...The service consider quite well although there are some mistakes, but they all still students. She really pointed out the mistake they had make, as she herself 'work' there before. It is quite funny when she tried to help the waiters/waitress by giving hints.
At the end of the meal before dessert, the head waiter asked one of the waiter to clear out table. However, the waiter forgot to take away the pepper and salt. She asked me to hint him, before i could, the head waiter saw it and give the waiter the Hey!! you forgot!!* face. Somemore right infront of me. LOL
.
After my lunch, when TM to meet Moo Moo they all at swensen. They are having lunch there, felt quite bad for not joining them. It is a celebration to moo moo and also first class outing. Nevertheless, did join them for photo taking. hahas.
.
Played game that was suggested by Kim. The game goes like this, one person will be blindfolded and to touch the other person hand or head to guess who is it. Moo moo manage to know it was me, by hearing the other voices but not mine. LOL.. It is a fun game especially when it is played by desmond and Kim. He was damn funny la, and danced the "nobody" song with edeline...
.
They had the lunch 1-for-1 offer in swensen, however they were overcharged for $46.15. They only give us 5 free meal instead of 8. Get back to them after our photo taking and games. Manage to get back the refund and give them back... hahas
.
After they went home, go walk walk with beryl, edeline and wei ling. It is also a fun trips. enjoyed. Hehe
Talk for too long le. Need to revise my comm sk test on sat.. Hehe
