bad luck with electronic devices recently. that explains my blog block coz lots of thoughts didnt managed to get captured.

came to notice alot of things recently.. maybe work enables me to see it clearer. many expectations in the past are just useless hopes, insignificant and senseless criterias..

i enjoy work. not only from the satisfaction i get, but also the pple i mix ard with. they showed me another side of life, taught me so many new things that i am ashamed of myself.

many thanks to Hairul for sharing his interview experience. noone at work knows abt my blog. that makes it all the more better. anyway, i learnt so much from what he said that deep down, i have the need to share with the rest of you in the hope that u feel as much as i do about it.

wat is the thing you live your life by? your motto, the "rule" or whatever u all call it.. he told me for him, it's GST. GST in the sense that G=greet, S=smile, T=thanks.

example given by him was: if u see ur mom, u'll greet her (hi mom), and following that action comes the smile (it's natural) then when ur mom gives u sth, u'll automatically say "thanks".. isnt that wonderful. trapped between the 2 noisy renovation areas that are testing my sanity level and pushing and testing the limit, i became so awed by that simple "sharing session" that i felt so refreshed, so good after tt..

i see the wonders of friends. maybe that's what i call job satisfaction. not only by what you get out of work, but also what u learnt from the pple ard u.. Onran taught me the beauty of service, Maslan showed me the wonders of kindness, Faizal displayed that sunshine attitude thruout that makes even the "darkest" moments shine, hairul enlightened me with his constant little stories, and not to forget the rest of them. mohan for his wide knowledge abt the area, syed for his many actions that made the job fun, and many others who brighten up my day wif simple god sent words or actions that made my dread-y holiday job a fulfilling one. too many to list. juz wanna thank everyone for making my 1 and a half months so great. i dun feel that useless now.

and how can i forget Mr Tanaka and Mr Zhang? the 2 little bears and the angel clip? tml might be my last day. i dunno.. part of me wants to stay, part of me wants to leave. i want to stay coz i can get satisfaction from the job, i want to leave coz i want to concentrate on studies and put more effort in what i think i ought to do now coz work can leave till later. but i'm afraid my enthusiasm will run out. i'm afraid, afraid of repeating history, scared of facing the same thing twice. feel stupid wanting to do well in my studies now that i've been out in the working world and realised that the cert is juz a piece of junk. who cares how many Zs and As u have? noone. who cares how many Fs u get? noone. pple judge u by how well u work, not by how good your grades are. they dun care if u are an excellent student in school. they want to know if u can handle ur job well, help in service recovery and bring the company to greater heights.. who cares abt results by then? thse little slips the school send tu you..

my mnrgs, the recpetion staffs, the concierge staffs, reservation staffs, fellow associates. most of them are from shaltec.. and i used to think that pple who go there are mostly those that are not able to enrol in a course that they like that's y they go there in search of a better course in exchange with a little bit more money.. but they're juz like u and me. they can do a job as well if not better, they are good.

and i am more convinced that i can make it in the service sector. knowing this, i cant help but =]
