Phew, managed to survive the 2 submissions and 3 tests, I only have 1 more submission to go, and I'm free! Well other than presentations, I'm pretty much free for the rest of the semester (: The thought of having my holidays makes me happy enough to hop around already :>
Sheesh, I've been in a really really really bad mood for the past few days because of many many stuff. I think it's the stress, and lack of sleep. I still have few more days to go before I can enjoy sleeping in!
I really miss the TP campus so much. ): Especially the food! Food in vivo ain't exactly awesome, and it's so expensive. :/
Waiting for my group members to send me their stuff, but I'll prolly go to sleep first and waking up early tmrw to finish the work since I doubt I'll be able to do a good job anyway. My bed looks way more tempting than the stupid laptop. Speaking of laptops, my freaking fujitsu died on me. Damn annoyed that it has to be down on this week, and I can only hope that it'll be automatically fine soon ): Meanwhile, I have to use Daddy's laptop :/
Wish I could make all these negative feelings go away ):

Time for a break
Recently I've been facing this problem where people ask me a question, i give them the right answer, then they doubt me. I mean, if you don't believe me, why ask? And what's most annoying is that they will ask someone else who gives the same answer before they will willingly accept that you gave them the right answer. Okay, not willingly, but reluctantly in some cases. The point is that, if you want to ask for a second opinion from someone else, do it nicely. Don't doubt the person who's trying to help you, especially not in such a rude manner! It's annoying to receive it two days in a row and now I really wonder what's wrong with everything.
I'm going to study for CSIT soon! 1 project and 1 test down, happy :>
And today a little mishap happened, my contact lens got stuck in the eye and couldn't come out. ): I not sure whether it's still in there or not!
CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING (Reo Speedwagon)
I can't fight this feeling any longer.
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow.
What started out as friendship,
Has grown stronger.
I only wish I had the strength to let it show.
I tell myself that I can't hold OUT forever.
I said there is no reason for my fear.
Cause I feel so secure when we're together.
You give my life direction,
You make everything so clear.
And even as I WANDER,
I'm keeping you in sight.
You're a candle in the window,
On a cold, dark winter's night.
And I'm getting closer than I ever THOUGHT I MIGHT.
And I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
It's time to bring this ship into the shore,
And throw away the oars, forever.
Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
And if I have to crawl upon the floor,
Come crashing through your door,
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you.
I've been running round in circles in my mind.
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl,
Cause you take me to the places,
That alone I'd never find.
And even as I wander,
I'm keeping you in sight.
You're a candle in the wind,
On a cold, dark winter's night.
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might.
And I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
It's time to bring this ship into the shore,
And throw away the oars, forever.
Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore.

Come crashing through your door,

Hospitality and Tourism Management
Been working hard over my projects and now here I am wondering why I have decided to join this course. I guess it's the opportunities that have presented itself to me, and it's really the reason for me to hang in there to see how this industry is like. I've actually identified two opportunities that really made me look forward to the industry.
ITB Asia
Being part of the student group helping out in the biggest trade show for the industry in Asia is no joke. There were many real challenges that we often talked about, but never faced, such as handling difficult delegates, preparation for the show, and how an event is planned. Being behind the scenes, I see the hard work that's being put in to make the show a success. Words cannot fully describe what I felt throughout the experience of working in ITB asia, but I'm glad I was a part of it.
Housekeeping Mentoring Program
I first knew about this programme when I was looking through my TP email where I received something from one of my teachers, and it was a gut instinct actually, to sign up for this programme. I guess because the section of housekeeping was the first one that motivated me to join the industry of hospitality. When I was in secondary 3, my one-week attachment as Ascott's group of serviced apartments in the housekeeping section opened my eyes to the sector and I was deeply interested. Also, I wanted to know more about the behind-the-scenes of a hotel industry. So without hesitation, I decided to sign up for the programme. To my surprise, I was selected by Four Seasons and I was looking forward to the programme!
At first I did not know what to expect, but the executive housekeeper, Ms Doris Leong was kindly talked us through the programme, and planned something for us everyday.
Day one
We were attached to one of the housekeepers to do a time and motion study, where we were to breakdown the tasks that the housekeepers were supposed to do, and time them. Other than this study, we also had the chance to see what was being offered in the hotel, such as the amenities and how the rooms looked like.
Day two
Reporting for the night shift, we had the opportunity to learn what turndown service was all about. I was new to this term and did not know what is it really about. Well it's basically a gesture from the hotel to make the bed ready for sleep, and to dim the lights such that it's a conducive environment to sleep in. It's really an eye-opener for me.
Day three
I was attached to Daphne, one of the supervisors, who went around the hotel to check on the check out rooms, to see if they were ready for check ins for the day. Then we also learned about the daily duties of a supervisor.
Day four
My partner and I were split up for the day, for the first half I was in the Laundry department where I learned about the operations, and then for the later half I was with the public area supervisor, where i was brought around to the public areas, such as the swimming pool, the club and the function rooms to ensure that they are all well maintained and clean.
The staff of FSHS were really friendly and they were all very willing to share their knowledge of their job scope with me. I was really grateful to them and it was the warmth of the staff that made me enjoy this experience so much.
After exposure to this programme, I had a deeper level of understanding about the back-of-house operations of the hospitality industry and I really felt that the department of housekeeping are the group of unsung heroes that are crucial to creating part of the product of the hotel. This experience is invaluable and it made me consider another field of the hospitality as my future career path. It is a programme that I would definitely introduce to my juniors to take up, to get a better idea of the operations of a hotel. It may not be a bed of roses, but it's definitely something to enrich his/her experience in the hospitality industry.

Open House Performance
Well, so open house performance has finally come to an end. To the juniors, it's just the beginning of their journey in Salvo. For us, well, I just can't believe that I only have around a year left in Salvo. It's really disappointing and upsetting to know that.
Ah, but I'm glad I didn't make the wrong choice in joining Salvo, otherwise I wouldn't have met all the wonderful people in my life now :>
So after debrief and playing, we went to 85 to makan which was yums! Yay I've got eating buddies, so I can eat all the awesome food and not get fat heehee :D got stingray, orh lua, carrot cake, bah chor mee and chicken wings. It's not as fattening as eating all on my own haha (:
Right, I have to chiong my culi and CRSpa project before heading out to meet Mum and Dad. Toodles :>

Fears
Almost everyone who knows me well enough know I have all kinds of fears and phobias. And today, it just so happened that there were four shocks that happened to me in less than three hours. Let's just say I have a weak heart ):
Well it all happened during performance rehearsal for open house tomorrow and on saturday. I was moving the drums up the staircase when I slipped. It all happened very quickly and it was really sheer luck that Smay was in front of me holding the drum that almost fell and Bryden came to get the drum from me. It was really lucky that no one else was in front of me or the drum would have fallen on him on her and I would never ever forgive myself.
Then, it was the rehearsal on the stage, and oh the horrors it was on an elevated stage near the mushroom in TP. What was horrifying was that on my side of the stage, the edge was above a ledge, which, simply put, would mean that if anyone was unlucky to fall off the stage, it would be falling off a height of around two storeys. Given that I was extremely afraid of heights, I started shivering uncontrollably and started crying. Many thanks to everyone who came beside me during my panic attack, but yes I was really afraid to even go near the edge. Trust me, I couldn't utter a proper sentence while on that stage because it was so scary. I literally heaved a sigh of relief when I got down that stage. Truthfully speaking, what was the organising committee thinking, erecting that stage on such a dangerous platform? Couldn't they realise that if someone were to fall off the edge, it would mean serious injury? I don't know, I'm just pretty afraid of being up there for the next two days.
The next two shocks were less bad, one was misunderstanding that a drum was falling off its tiers when it was actually someone carrying it back down to the studio. And the other one was almost falling off the drum while practising the ending pose.
I'm sorry that I don't have the guts to stand on the drum, and not especially if the drum is going to be on that stage. Cut me some slack please, I'm already trying my best :'(
Was feeling really upset over the episodes today. Well, as Bryden told me, tomorrow's going to be better. Hopefully. (:

Hello 2011
Decided on starting this new blog for the new year! It's too cumbersome mixing up my personal posts and reblogs on tumblr, and I just felt like starting afresh on a new blog, sort of a moving on to a different phase in life where I am eighteen! The previous blog's not all gone, it's still here. I don't like to delete blogs, it feels like deleting a part of me. (:
Start of the brand new year, spent with an awesome group of people, people that eats without stopping and are sure to clear up your kitchen in a flash. Ate a hill of food for steamboat at Bugis, watched the stunning fireworks against the Marina Bay skyline, and a night of talking and playing along One Fullerton. Had a lot of thoughts running in my mind when I was watching the fireworks. Isn't it amazing how the fireworks create patterns in the sky, just like how excitement and joy explodes within us? Okay I'm thinking a little too much about fireworks, but yeah that was basically how I felt. I could feel all those little joy bubbles popping within me as I was watching the fireworks!
As usual, new year, new resolutions!
Stop procrastinating (I resolve to do this every year, but… I’ll just put it at the top as usual :D)
Spend less, save more.
Eat less, lose more. (weight I mean :P)
Study hard, see improvement in results
Having more constructive thoughts and stop thinking of…unnecessary thoughts that often (:
Be a nicer person in many ways
Less vulgarities
Anger management
Hopefully, I'll be able to stick to them this year hurr.
Anyways, just realised there are 5 submissions and 3 tests this month. Well I guess I'll have to tough it out, as I always have! (: Not to forget, the performance for Open House this Friday and Saturday! Feeling really excited about it though it's my second open house performance, hopefully everything goes well, and all the best to the juniors who are performing for the first time (:
Woah, this is a long opening post I guess. It's really time to sleep, it's going to be a loooooong day tomorrow :D
