Society

You know what, recently, a friend phone me up and told me about her difficulties in finishing her assignment. She is pursuing her diploma in hotel management and she's currently doing her first assignment, that is requesting a 5 star hotel manager to bring them around the hotel at the same time introducing the aspects of becoming a hotel manager and maybe considering it as a future career.

So, after receiving all the approval letters from her college authorities, she started her work in a team and started to choose a hotel for her assignment. I'm not going to stat what hotel she chose because obviously if I'd do that, it'll be bad for the hotel's reputation, not that my blog is viewed worldwide.

Anyway, after choosing hotel A, she started off emailing her request and approval letter to the hotel management, hoping they would reply her ASAP. Instead, after sending tonns of email, calling them day and night, faxing them the letter several times, my friend still did not get a single reply. Which really brought her into a 'damsel in distress' situation and ended calling me for a solution. @.@

Ok, this is the thing. What I see was, in the hotel management business, they are practically lack of people and stuff, sometimes I even see stuff running up and down the hotel multitasking due to lack of staff.

As a manager of the hotel, I know that the main objective is to produce more income for the hotel but seeing the staff being so insufficient, don't the manager ever though of how to involve more people into the hotel management business?

Is a rare chance that students pursuing hotel management course would call up a hotel to request a quick tour around the hotel. Hotel managers could actually use this chance to offer them a place in the hotel and maybe ask them to consider their hotel as their future career. A chance like this don't come often and I think is really ridiculous that hotels don't take this opportunity to increase staff enrolment.

Is similar to a case like a beggar is already suffering from poverty and when people offer money, her refuse to take it out of pride. Stupid isn't it? If there's chance right in front of you, grab it before other people grabs it. Don't turn now chances because of pride and self-image. People might criticize you now but later, you'll get the better times.

Is just too bad that people nowadays don't think that way....

Finally~~~~

First thing first, I finally made a choice on what I'm might pursue in and so far I'm happy in what I'm doing. I really do hope that this time I won't back out and continue what I'm doing. The story goes like this....

Once upon a time.... haahh ok lah, I'll go straight to the point. Anyway, GAAAAH!!! my leg is so freakin' itchy!!!......

Ok, as most of you know that I attended from 6 straight after I returned from my NS, and i chose Science stream. I thought I was able to cope as the teachers there was known to be quite pushy, So i decided to give it a try....

Turns out I was wrong. I ended up skipping school more then I've ever done in my life. I've never felt this way about studies before and I have never cried as much as this. I felt fear whenever I stepped foot into the school, I would shiver as I walk into the classroom, and I have never dared to ask teachers any question. I was so scared to that extend....

Finally, when I felt that I was going to explode, I told my dad everything and what I felt after a month in the science stream. My dad was surprise and He couldn't believe that all these while I was feeling that way. And the first time crying about studies is definitely not me...

So far I was able to withstand the most pressurizing situation and I was able to overcome with ease ans peaceful mind, but all of a sudden, I just drop at a point that I really couldn't hold back any longer...... I was in lost and I didn't know what I should do...

Even my parents was at lost in what should I do... I skipped school for 2 days, I had to spend a few days for me to wake up and make a decision... after thinking for a whole 4 days, I finally made up my mind in joining the art streams.

Although, as most of my close friends knows how much I hate banking, accounts and economy related subjects but I decided to give it a try....

After a week, I feel fine and I don't feel that fearful anymore. I tend to look forword to go for classes and to have a group of friends to help me everyday. Instead, I feel the urge to actually study sometimes.... which is good. And i'm happy. I really hope nothing will come across and I will enjoy myself for another one and a half years of CBN years.... =P

I also actually hope that there would be more activities in school that is more of a artistic approach... Performance, dancing, singing, acting.... Anything... As long as it involves stage act..... At least that can keep my mind of some stuff... *wink....

A happy person in CBN...!!!
