back frm panpac.. stayed in the hotel last night wif May and Peiling coz they're working back to back so with abit of luck, i got to stay there FOC for 1 night. :) no need to rush for last train, no need to rush thru things.. and i guess it's fate. they sent this baggage to pac floor coz casper wasnt free at the moment and in the end they got $10 tips.. so we had cup noodles, ice-cream and chocolates at night for just $2 each.. lolx.. but the bad news, PL lost her fone.. her samsung camera fone.. :(
i guess in order to really feel how it is like to step into the hotel room and be awed, u have to really experience and note the kinda impression u get when u open the door in anticipation of what u think u're going to get... it's diff when u escort the guest and check them into their rooms.. u step in, put the key card and think "wow".. i like that. =)
the bathroom is the BEST of all!! no errie feeling even though there are 4 mirrors, the bathtub, standing shower and toilet bowl is seperated by those glass doors and the toilet itself can be locked with those wooden teak doors, giving pple a resort kinda feeling.. and the $1000 odd office chair.. i nv knew office chair can be so comfortable.. not warm, very "fitting"... the pillows! i absolutely LOVE them.. simon gave us a CT room at 0906 and we pushed the twin beds together to get a "king size" bed.. we got 2 pillows each and the pillows are really fantastic.. the toilet amenities are really classy with great packaging.. the shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, bosy lotion, soap, vanity pack and even the shower cap!! there are mroe den enuff towels, hand towels, face towels and so on.. the whole place is juz... great... the lighting is great, the instant coffee, red tea, green tea, plus creamer, sugar and the kettle.. not the kinda old, lousy quality kettle.. this one is good.. okie.. am i saying too much? yes i am.
overall, i love the bathroom the most.. it's SOOOOOOOOO much bigger and more spacious den all the other hotels i've been to and the layout is simple yet so elegant.. alright.. am i exaggerating here? lolx..
i escorted so many and checked in so many guest into diff guestrooms yet this is really diff.. if i dun hav this chance, i dun think i'll ever even notice how the washroom looks like... now i know why so many of them are return guests... u hav to go thru it to know it.. :)
now i'm dying to see the pac floor, the suites and the much talked abt duplex (dunno spelling correct anot) suite..
working was slack ytd.. arrivals low.. 100 odd when i started work.. 3 person went for break together but too bad we saw celine on the way den i gues nxt time sure kana frm her de.. but right now i dun care.. den night time the 3 of us went break again and kathy saw us.. gave that look. :( watever~ plus hideko and kathy both saw us chatting behind the bell desk and not to forget all the other managers who walked past or working at the pacific ballrooms.. heck.. we let so many cabs past den i lost count.
i didnt lie. when they ask if i got a bf, i juz smile. maybe i dun want them to know, or maybe i think there's no need for them to know anyway. but chatting wif some of the bell pple ytd night abt height, they say i quite tall, got 170.. and i laugh till pengz.. i took off my court shoes and wahla.. shortie.. so i'm called katik (dunno the spelling again.. as in short in malay)... lolx.. then they asked if my bf very tall.. and i luff and said how can my bf be tall when i dun hav 1.. and why they think i'm lying when i say i dun hav a bf.. izzit really that weird being single? *shrugs
and some of them asked why i dun wanna be an air stewardess.. i'm happy abt the "compliment" but there is a height criteria isnt it? and how can i be one. juz look at me. tt kinda pattern CMI de! and the funniest thing, a guest asked if i'm an air stewardess. HELLO! i'm working in panpac. how to work 2 jobs at a time? if i am one, i'll be somewhere over the globe by now! and not standing there and greeting guests!
but really happy.. will be collelcting my pay soon.. when i work, i spend less money coz i dun go out that often. when i work, i dun really hav time to go out anyway and the meals are provided. the only thing i spend is on transport and travelling time but it's a great way to spend time.
ytd den i realised alot of pple are dieting, taking slimming pdts like extrim and xando.. and i THOT those pdts dun come cheap? no? i dun exactly feel fat all the time, i know i'm not skinny either but i dun think i'll be like them, spending money on those small pills that dunno really work for u or not.. convincing advertisements and testimonials didnt really work for me. somehow they sound fake.
it is a high class low pay job. actually to put in nicer terms, it's a customer oriented job that requires alot of human and soft skills.. a job whereby if u can hide emotions, u'll be able to go far. a job where by if u hav patience, tolerance and an ever forgiving heart u'll be successful. this is a job that requires u to be equipped with a talent for enduring pent-up feelings. if u can fulfil all the above, u are cut out for the hospitality industry. too bad i hav none. maybe i'm in the wrong course. no doubt i dun mind serving guests and absolutely enjoy the satisfaction the job brings and the joy that follows. but my limits are low, so too bad. the industry got alot to offer but the opportunities are nt up for grabs for me.
actually i dun mind working back to back if i can stay in the room. it's definitely worth it.. enuff QUALITY rest is more impt den QUANTITY rest. right? ;)
k. enuff is enuff. i am boring pple but i like the idea. :)
