Working life....sigh

Category: , , , , By R.J
Typing this entry out on word document because bloody internet is out again. Nyampah betul!!
OMG!! What a hectic day at work. From the time I stepped into reception both ‘G’ and I were running around like mad, from the guests to the phone and back again. It was never ending! I’m not complaining about the work load, especially since when at work I like being busy. Habit I guess especially all my life all the hotels I worked in were 5* and we were always busy. Today on the other hand was just ridiculous. Why? Gawd, people here can be so thick sometimes. Hehe at one point I got so angry with ‘T’, this lady that works in our central reservations. We all hate her because all the time she messed up our bookings etc. Today was the best though, she called up and asked me to check a reservation that was made by a guest on laterooms.com (who has different confirmation numbers than from our system), this idiotic person just could not seem to get it into her head and kept pestering us. At the end said can you ring the guest back, to which I said ok with pleasure… but guess what that mangkuk did…. Or shall I say didn’t do. No guest name, no arrival date and couldn’t even remember the laterooms confirmation number, all she remembered was the phone number!! That was the last straw! So yours truly nicely fired ‘T’ and said if she kept on doing this bullshit I won’t even deal with her anymore. ‘G’ could not believe it, as it was the first time I’ve exploded like that, and somehow he found it hilarious and was sitting in the corner cracking up T_T. WTF!! Hahaha.

So there you go all in all a crazy but not so bad day at work hahaha. At the end of the shift, I got my usual free drink… ‘Blue Wkd’ (vodka) from the bar complimentary of the bar manager ‘P’ and sat out back in the smoking zone with some other stuff and chilled.

Now….time for me to crash as got to get back in to work in 7hours! *Yawn* ^O^

Today was Rj’s turn to be a lil lazy at work. First of all, dragging my arse out of bed this morning was such a hassle as it was nice and cold and I kept snoozing my alarm. Made it in the nick of time for work though so woot! Hehehe. Now I’m lazy to eat! Hahaha yes you read it right, I’m lazy to eat! Going to watch ‘Taiyou no Uta’ then head to bed so can dream more hahaha.

I love the tune to this song.

So much so for regular updates eh! Been busy with work since I got back from my hols. Things have been a bit 'blöd' in the office with certain members of staff, and Gawd, I regretted starting work on Friday. The office was just in such a chaotic environment and not at all the 'atmosphere' that I was looking forward to when coming back to work. Finally today... erm maybe I should say yesterday since it's already the 24th here.... well anyways finally today things seem a bit more organized at work and slowly getting back into the system I knew (let's see how long it last this time). Was going to catch up on some sleep after work since I finished at 330p.m today. It was all I was dreaming off when I was at work hahaha. That's only because I've been only getting like 2hrs sleep each night since I got back from Switzerland...and my body wasn't in its right state. Breaking into cold and hot shivers etc wasn't really the situation to be in. But still forced myself to go to work...or else sure mampus with boredom in my room. yea yea RJ would rather work than take MC here hahaha.

Anyways so much so for shut eyes hahaha. Decided to take up Giovanni's invitation to swim. Issa was there too and before we knew it, in came Sabina... and later followed by Rafal and Roselyn hahaha. Yea the staff took over the hotel pool the whole evening. hehehe. So there we were massive swimming for 2hours with breaks for the Sauna and a bit of chit-chat. I was surprised that I could swim that many laps in the pool today considering the amount of people there. My right arm has been killing me for 2days already, muscle pull... but being in the mood I was in, I welcomed the pain and pushed myself to the limit swimming laps in the pool. Don't think that was a very good idea especially since now my arm is all numb hahaha. Well afther 2hours+ of swimming, this swimming group pigged out at Golden Fortune, a local Chinese restaurant near the hotel...all because yours truly opened her gap and said she feels like eating chinese :). So yea we spent the same amount of time in the restaurant pigging out and I think we gained what ever we lost in the pool hehe.

WTF!! it's almost 3am here and I have to go to work in 4hours and I just can't seem to fall asleep (which would explain why I'm updating this at this hour). Someone give me some damn sleeping pills so I can fall asleep like I used to! Damn!!

ouch...somehow somewhere I seem to have sliced my lower lip... sakit!! *sobs sobs*. Lately physically has not been that good especially with my arms. Has to be linked with lack of sleep and lost of appetite I guess. Surprisingly today I could eat a big dinner... but then again it was the only meal I ate the whole day minus a small brioche that I had for breakfast.

wtf! Ich möchte verschwinden!! Scheiße. Da ich jemanden verloren, das Leben ist nicht so bunt, wie sie verwendet werden! oh well life goes on :):(

RJ ist sehr müde und geht schlafen....well try to schlafen at least. Tschuss for now.

(this post so sesat-ed all over the place sigh) Zzzzzzzz

Sometimes life takes us down paths we try so hard to avoid. No matter how hard we try, we still pass through that path. I hide from everyone, or maybe I'm just hiding from myself? Who knows. It's better to hide then to face reality. Our problems is best kept to ourselves as no one will truly understand them. I now believe a friend when she used to say that before. Unless you walk in that person's shoes, you will never truly understand what that person is going through. Sometimes I wish I could just turn back time. To the time when I looked at the world with full of hope and dreams. Back to the time when I was a child with no worries at all.

It is important to tell the truth everytime? Heaven knows. I've tried it but at the end the person that gets hurt the most is no one else but me. Maybe it's best to tell people what they want to hear. I've learned to hide my feelings since I was 9... I can still do it now. I've fooled everyone with the 'act' I've put up. Let them think I'm a happy rich man's kid. I don't give a shit. People judge us without knowing who we truly are. That is their lost. Some of you have seen through my wall especially, Hien, Lily, MeiMei and Kyels ^_^ and to these special 4 friends I have I am truly grateful. They took the trouble to get to know me. Which I thank God everyday for their presence. They make life worth living for. For those of you who decide to judge me without taking the trouble to really get to know me... that is your choice. Don't pretend to care etc when you don't. I don't need pity and I don't need fake "friendship".

F*** I can't even write properly!! ARRGH!!!

Ich bin...

Some of you may remember this song...someday by MLTR. I must be really old since this song is more than 10years old hahaha. I remember loving it then, but sekarang kira it's got a much deeper and personal meaning.
Suprisingly how chilling at a friend's place and he was like RJ do you know this song, and it just brought back memories and *ping* it has been looping on my player. Together with another song given to me by a dear friend of mine. Will put that song up in the next post.

Anyways I'm on a 3 day break. Been FORCED to take my Lou Day (PH) in advance. Bummer big time as I can't go anywhere anyway since the weather is sucky and transportation back to my place on Sunday SUCKS!! So yea RJ terpaksa habiskan cuti dia di Windermere. Menyampah betul cuti but takleh gi mana-mana.

Eh .... looks like hotel ni serious pasal I untuk stay on one more year. F/O manager bilang, yang I akan di 'train' sebagai Duty Manager untuk bila I pulang kerja dengan mereka dalam bulan October 2008. Tapi hotel ini kira kena berjaga-jaga. Kalau setakat percakapan sahaja kira tak laku. Lainlah kalau in Black and white can hold them to their word. Anyway let's see how it goes. But for now, I miss my mom and little old 4-legged farty baby so much. Jackie wait for me... baby I'll come back and spoil you rotten for one month!! hehe. and you can bark all you want hahaha.

Tinggal 3 hari lagi sebelum something happens. lol. Aku pun tak tahu macam mana nak behave pada hari Isnin. Tengok la. Nasib baik I kerja juga lol.

Well Rj is gonna continue watching her HK Tv series.... Heart of Greed.

So.... do you guys remember this song?? Enjoy! ^_^

=p That's How I Sleep! hahaha

Went to work a little late today and left 2hours earlier as I was feeling pooly*. Had to go into work today as couldn’t leave my colleague to do all 44 check outs etc by himself.

What was wrong with me? Well kira I kind of made me tummy upset by not eating anything except a slice of toast for lunch yesterday. Nothing for dinner the night before, no breakfast yesterday, a lousy slice of toast for lunch and no dinner and went to bed. Woke up at 0300hrs and ran to the loo to puke. All the acid I guess. Horrible night after that. Tried eating something but just would not stay down =(. Anyway went to work and refused to eat anything because I could not afford to be throwing up at work. Just keep drinking fluids to keep going.

Anyways went to Tesco down the road at 6ish to get a proper meal of rice. Ran into Rachel and we both went to Co-Op and Tesco, got my groceries and then she invited me to dine at her place. A short trip to Tesco and 6hours later only I am coming back. Mamamia!!

Durant tout ce temps j'étais là, je cherchais à l'époque, parce que je voulais retourner en arrière et continuer à discuter avec quelqu'un en ligne. . Mais comme il y avait quelque chose qu'elle avait besoin d'en parler je suis resté. Désolé. Parlez-en à vous demain K. Hehehe Had à utiliser google traducteur pour traduire en français.

Ok am going off to bed soon. Well as soon as I eat something again. hehehe. =p


Just another song from The Fray that I like .... it's got a nice tune to it. Addictive tune. lol



The Fray - Heaven Forbid
 

A Fresh Start

Category: , , , , By R.J
Finally the year 2007 has ended!! The year had started out well with things slowly falling into place as planned but reach mid year it all went downhill. It was what I would call a cursed year for me beginning with the passing of my beloved Aunt and followed by a chain of unexpected and unwelcome events.

Anyways it's a new year now, a time to restart my life. I use the word restart due to many reasons but in my situation I guess it fits perfectly well. To a certain few who had been there during my lowest moments... I thank you all greatly!! ^_^. To some of you who knew something was wrong and tried to get me to share I thank you all too, but forgive me for not opening up to you as there are some secrets that are meant to remain in the closet.

New Year Celebrations in the UK would be what I would say is just another reason for people to get drunk. hahaha and that's what happened to majority of the staff at my hotel. Was I one of them?? Nope! hahaha I stopped after only 5 drinks. But after the party at the hotel (which was for the guests) but at the end most of the staffs started dancing as well hehehe. lol I was one of them too as kena tarik masuk by Mr. J, my GM. After the fireworks at my hotel around midnight, we headed down to Wheelhouse a local club where most of my colleagues were busy working up the dance floor. Stayed till 3am. It was a nice way to exercise I would say hahaha! then we all came back to the hotel and continued yakking away till like 430am before splitting. Most of us (including me) had to work in the morning (on the 1st) but luckily most of guests were suffering from hangover to notice us suffering from one! Was a good New Year Celebration I would say.

I shall not be updating my blog as frequently as I used anymore due to certain personal reasons. I have slightly detached myself from the outside world as there are certain "demons" that I need to sort out. A lot of personal time you can say. ^_^

I didn't bother making a new year resolution this year as somehow it seem pointless to do so. But I would say I know the things I need to do and shall try to achieve them. Though only one I doubt I can achieve as it has to do with feelings but who knows...only time will tell *shrugs*.

Mom decided to send me an e-mail today which just hits the spot, but I started laughing the minute I saw it because it's so cute.

It's 0352hrs and somehow the sandman seems to have forgotten me on his rounds. I'm up and about sorting stuff out and planning certain things. I've finally got my reply from UK....the permits on its way to my home here by UPS. Now the only thing is the flight ticket which is becoming a problem as most flights are fully booked till the beginning of September. I've managed to book a seat on Malaysian Airlines on the 21st of August to Zurich. Yea yea I know it's on my birthday but no choice. And from there grab the train up to Manchester (after lepaking in Switz for a few days). But am still working on other flights and I'm on the waiting list for Swiss Air (do pray that works out) as then I don't have to spend so much on my flight as its considered as a stop over (transit) flight even though I chill at Switz for a couple of days. Plus the flight from Zurich to Manchester will only be 1 hour rather than the 10hour train ride **Eeeks**.

Once the permit comes over I've got to break it to dad. Can't keep him in the dark any longer. I feel bad doing it this way, but knowing dad, it's better to only inform him once everything is done and permit all has been received and approved. Bro broke something to me a few days ago, that he wanted me down in PD to help with one of the family business as the current tenants are leaving. I've waited my whole life for this chance to actually be active in the family business, but the timing is so wrong as I can't back out from UK as the deal has been signed. So I'm going to go ahead, and continue with the UK plan for 1 year and who knows I may gain all the knowledge I need there to help the family later on.

Holy smokes less than a month to go before I leave. So many things to do, so little time. Just before I leave, will be heading down to Sabah with the entire family. Reason? hahaha wait la I will post the pictures for all to see. Can't wait actually, not only for the real reason of going to Sabah, but also because I haven't been to Sabah yet. Sadly there are many places in the country that I've yet to visit. Soon soon...gonna tarik Kyels, Kris and Hien with me when I do hahahaha.
Gonna stop for now...need to get back to sorting out my laptop...it's so messy!!

Oh yea leaving you guys with this song... hahaha somehow when I sent one of my best friend to the departure gate this exact line was playing " So bye-bye, miss american pie"... but my dear friend decided to change it to So bye-bye, miss Switz pie hahahaha. Love this song though...it's got a catchy tune. Well Ðôlphania swimming off for now.

Hugh Grant - Don't Write Me Off Just Yet

Fur Dich. Ich weiß, daß das Lied nicht nett ist, aber die Lyriken ist sinnvoll. In meiner sprache...ACK!! (I hope I got that translated correctly)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

It’s never been easy for me
To find words to go along, with a melody
But this time there’s actually something, on my mind
So please forgive these few brief awkward lines

Since I’ve met you, my whole life has changed
It’s not just my furniture, you’ve rearranged
I was living in the past, but somehow you’ve brought me back
And I haven’t felt like this since before Frankie said relax

And while I know, based on my track record
I might not seem like the safest bet
All I’m asking you, is don’t write me off, just yet

For years I’ve been telling myself, the same old story
That I’m happy to live off my so called, former glories
But you’ve given me a reason, to take another chance
Now I need you, despite the fact, that you’ve killed all my plants

And though I know, I’ve already blown more chances
Than anyone should ever get
All I’m asking you, is don’t write me off, just yet
Don’t write me off just yet



**-----**
The lyrics are funny at some part but most of all the main point is there. We all make mistakes, some more than others. Sadlly I fall into the 'more' category. I blame if on my past but I can't continue doing so for the rest of my life now can I. So time to let go on the past and make what I have now work before I loose the most important person in my life. If you're reading this...."Don’t write me off just yet".
See you soon!!!
 

Hiên's Visit to Malaysia: Part 1

Aloha KL

Slightly over a week ago, before I could recover from surprise #1, I got another surprise from a dear friend of mine. So what is this second surprise?? She appeared out of nowhere hehehe... well actually she flew in from Switzerland unannounced and got Kyels to play along and keep it a secret. Kyels I'm never gonna take you seriously man!! hahaha. So yea about 9 days ago I said Aloha to a close friend and tomorrow I will be saying Aloha again to her :(. But since that day, we've had a busy schedule that has made me feel much much better about certain issues.

We've been around KL, visiting the KL Towers, going bonkers eating, driving around KL at 04oohrs before finally returning home early in the morning and napping. Dinning at KLCC, Bangsar etc etc.

So who did I say Aloha to?? hehehe....well in is Ms. Hiên deciding to give us all heart attacks! hehehe.

Hi
ên @ Aloha KL

But then again I think I got back both at Hiên and Kyels with little heart attacks a couple of times with my driving last night hehehe. What to do, haven't driven for eons... so was a bit rusty. Plus having someones hand suddenly directing me out of the blue doesn't really help either hahahaha. JK. ^_^".

Gawd, I haven't pigged out so much but that's what I've been doing lately. What can I say Great company or well.... 'gila company' hehehe.

Pigging out at O'Briens in KLCC to dining at Frankfurt House in Bangsar and getting high before the alcohol is ordered in Chillis KLCC ^_^ had been great!!

Hard To Bid Someone Farewell for Good

Category: , , By R.J

Heaven Calls

It’s the 7th of June, I’m 7 days delayed from my original plan to start blogging again. So many things have happened since I last blogged.

Just recently I’ve lost a dear Aunt. Things are no longer the same knowing that she’s no longer with us physically. I grew up getting use to her presence with us since she was with us from way before I was born and she lived in the hotel with us. She was also part of the bridge that enabled me to still be in contact with dad after we moved from PD.

The heartbreaking news came on Saturday when dad called me at work. Heartbroken and with tears rolling down my face I had requested to leave work. The managers couldn’t do much but let me leave. Believe it or not, but that day, even the heavens were crying. Gaban picked me up from work, rushed into the house grabbed whatever cloths I could, feed Jackie, scattered the floor with newspaper and dashed off to PD. I’ve never seen dad cry and I swear to God I never want to see him shed a tear again! The whole funeral ceremony on Sunday and Monday was of a Hindu funeral. Though my aunt is Japanese (since dad’s half mixed and he’s a hindu), she requested for a Hindu funeral. Dad carried out all her wishes. Now her ashes lie below her alter in our PD house where dad and bro are till the 17th when we shall carry out her last wishes i.e. to have her ashes scattered in the deep sea. We delayed this as her sons will be coming down from Japan and it is important that they be there to bid their mother their final farewells.


Dearest Athai, though you are no longer physically with us, you shall always remain in our hearts and mind. To the heavens you have returned to be with part of your family. Knowing that the family awaits you above, puts a smile on my face. Few words I have to pen down as a lot I want to say are personal and shall I only reveal during our private talks Ne Obachan.

My mother….what can I say about her? Way to much actually but I’m lost of words (for once I know). She’s been the best! The one that has supported me from day 1 no matter what. I have a lot to be grateful as I am blessed to have a mother that loves me and supports me with all that I do (well almost all la hehehe). Though I may not say much, but mom I LOVE YOU with all my heart and I thank God everyday for giving me a chance to call myself your daughter. Thank you for always being there ^_^.

Der Leuchtturm

Der Leuchtturm

The lighthouse may only be another building for some but many fail to see that like the lighthouse that works as an aid for navigation and pilotage for sailors etc, we too have a living figure(s) that works the same way. My whole life I've come across people who somehow influenced or helped me along the way to become what I am today and some are still 'navigating' me silently to help me achieve my dreams. From all my personal lighthouses, only one stands tall and its light shines brighter and stronger than the rest. This special lighthouse of mine has made a tremendous impact on my life. So far all the impacts have been good, great and for the better of myself. I am not good at all at expressing this point but I think from what I just mentioned above, one can get a slight idea on what I'm trying to get at. Hmm maybe I should call this post Mein Leuchtturm instead der Leuchtturm.

Anyways that picture of the lighthouse is the lighthouse in PD. Though it's actually called the Melaka Lighthouse due to it being on the straights of Melaka. If you ever go to PD, you have to visit the place because the view is breathtaking especially during the sunset. Can't really say about sunrise as I've never made it there for that. I remember my folks taking my bro and I and some of my cousins/friends/visitors up there when we were kids. Back then there was a lot of monkeys around and well they were naughty monkeys as they like to take stuff that didn't belong to them lol. Visiting the lighthouse again after eons last August was a bit disappointing as I was hoping to take some snapshots of the monkeys but there were none at all. Guess I've got to settle with taking pics of Joey (the beruk at dad's place) for now.

Off to take a lil' nap now till my lighthouse starts to beams its light signaling its time for me to get my brains working and cracking on some educational stuff hahaha. Till then ....Tschuss!!

Unknown Calmness

Life has been great this whole week... well minus the annoying cold I have. Funny and annoying working with a flu because suddenly suddenly sure have to run to the back office and AACHOO!!! lol. Thank goodness we're running on low occupancy which enables me to run behind often if not kantoi. Dang my salary this month is going to be super duper low thanks to this low occupancy season. I bet some of you are wondering what does low occupancy have to do with our salary (well I assume ppl not in the hospitality industry will be haha). Well in short in Malaysia the payment scheme is simple for the hospitality industry. It will be Basic salary +Points. Basic salary is very low less than 1k and the points ranges from RM250 to RM450 or more depending on the hotel's policy or occupancy. The RM250 (is the lowest my hotel can pay us as per the contract). So right now we're working on our upsells as we get 10% of each upsell. Not very easy to do when you have a lot of complimentary stay guests who are well.... so kedekut. Hahaha you'd be suprise at how many guests actually ask us is the newspaper free? if yes I will take this and that. Like la the newspaper is expensive! And as far as I know no 5 Star hotel in Malaysia charges for newspaper for its hotel guests.

Moving on to a totally different topic. Have you ever missed a certain place before and the craving to go back there hits you so often? I'm missing Switzerland alot especially the lil town that I studied in....Neuchâtel. One of the things I miss greatly besides my friends and the KEBAB! ^_^" is ...du lac de Neuchâtel (Neuchâtel Lake). A place that offers such tranquility and the feeling is unforgettable esp for someone who loves the water like I do. Sitting by the lake or studying by the lake sure was nice and peaceful. I recall studying by the lake a lot thanks to the renovation noise pollution that was going on in IHTTI at that time. The lake and the restaurant up in Coop (Coop not Co-op) became our study spot. The pic above is a candid shot of the lake that I took with my battered Nokia 6680. A bit blury but I like picture.


DANG I MISS SWITZERLAND N' KEBAB too HAHAHA ^_^"







 

Daddy's Alright...Hallelujah

Category: , , , , , By R.J
Nothing new except that I am exhausted. Yea Yea I know I've been saying that a lot but its true because my brains just can't seem to shut off and let me go to bed in peace! No more night graveyard shift for me this week. Now I'm back to the afternoon shift which suits me well as it allows me to wake up later than usual.

Skipped work today as I went to visit dad. He's not feeling well and had to go to the hospital. Under strict orders not to eat certain food and to take care of his health. Bronchitis thats what he got.... cronic bronchitis (at least that's what the letter said). He has got to take care to avoid getting the last stage of it which is asthma. Reasons why we're worried? My dad's 74 years old this year!! yup you read right, my dad is 74 years old.... exactly 50yrs my senior! Though he doesn't look his age! *jealousnyer* hahaha.

Ooo there's another new member in Pd...called Tora Bavaria. Bro named the new german shepherd that! hahah orang gilakan BWM what to do. Not a very cute puppy though... then again after Woofie no puppy beats her cuteness. LOL. Dang Woofie is big now and so far still a cute big headed long tongue rottweiller. Yoko is no longer with us... very short baby puppy sitting for her. Whisky is so cute as usual and I kind of feel sorry for her as now bro pays more attention to the other 2 new pups rather than her like he used to. Jackie didn't seem to pleased though when I came back smelling of 3 other dogs! *whoops* hehehe. The 4th one (Hitam a.k.a Blackie) is hiding somewhere as he always runs away when he sees the camera or my handphone *bummer* he's a smart devil. Was going to post the video on here but then have to edit and remove my voice from it as I sound so cacated on it dang!

Yesterday was a super duper tiring day for me. After working the graveyard shift which was suppose to end at 0700hrs (well ended up only leaving at 0900hrs) because 1 of the morning shift staff over slept! Had a nice hot shower that took away a bit of the angry feelings I had to a certain family member the night before and headed out to KL Sentral (which is next to my hotel) to meet a friend for breakfast. Well both of us were feeling kind of low and I don't know about you, but your company cheered me up. After breakfast we took the LRT to Masjid Jamek as I had to undergo a medical check-up for the hotel. OMG the building was so ancient!! They even had the ancient lift (like the one we had in IHTTI). The place was not at all what I expected a normal clinic to be. It was old and shocking disgusting. Well in the sense that for a hospital to have walls and ceilings with lumut (green stuff) growing on it is Ewww!! Anyways did a bit of walking in there... going up and down the stairs to each section where I needed to get tests done but the last 2 was very uncomfortable for me!! I was shocked!! but what to do *malunyer*. The last one I couldn't stop giggling or laughing ...the dang lung test was something I could not do. After having a very uncomfortable time at that clinic we took the STAR to Bandaraya and walked to Dr.Nathan's clinic. He's my dermatologist (well at least his son was). First thing was I got scolding for not going there for 1 year plus (what to do was in Switz for so long ...then came back been working like mad trying to save money). Well anyways lucky I paid him a visit as my skin has gone from bad to worse and my face is all scarred up *sobs*. Also I have an infection on my legs (thanks to shaving!!) fuckeroo! Suprisingly another close friend has the same problem but hers is of a much much serious level where she is not allowed to shave her legs anymore! Mine should recover in a month or so(at least that's what the doc said). And if I am unlucky and the scars are still there then I will have to undergo some laser treatment which I am SOOO NOT looking forward to as it costs like a freaking RM500!! Anyways after that which took hours of waiting we finally headed down to KLCC for lunch. After a quick lunch and purchase of a couple of items and not to mention catching the Summer Collection Fashion Show for G2000 and Marks and Spencers we parted ways and I reached home at 17oohours!! (5hours short of 24hours) since I last slept! Oh yea at KLCC got this indian dude that kept following us after the G2000 show...Freaky wei!! But dang would have loved to see you kick him! hahaha but we did the right thing and just ignored the loser. Hey dear THX for being a great friend... truly appreciate n' cherish it ^_^".

Anyways was scanning through some old photos of mine and came across this candid shot taken by Lily during an accounting class. Hahahah RJ so engrossed in her work (or shall I say so lost):S. Dang I miss those good old days.

Right after this photo was taken, I remember ditching the whole accounting thing and started cam-whoring with Edda (on my left) and Lily hahaha. Mei Mei (on my right) would have killed me if I disturbed her during class for such nonsense so decided to leave her out of it. ^_^". Man I was so fat back then. Eh what am I rambling about...I STILL AM FAT!!! SHOOTS!!! RJ has to seriously go on a diet... but then I'm addicted to food! How?

Okies back to on9 chatting with someone before I get slaughtered for ignoring hehe. Hoi A2113 this song goes out to you ^_^". Sayang you!! hehehe. (gila already)

No one else can make me feel, the colours that you bring...

To Sleep or Not.

Category: , , , By R.J
The bed seems to be crying for me but yet I'm here online updating my blog. Somehow though working the graveyard shift last night I'm still wide awake (well at least my brains are) unlike the rest of my body. Jackie's staring at me and drooling as I munch away on cookies and sip my tea. Then again Jackie always drools when she sees food! hahaha.

Well the forms for UK goes in tomorrow. Finally! So hopefully the rest works out well. So close yet so far. As much as I want to go to UK for the 1 year work experience (heck I've been wanting to do so as a kid!), I'm am sure going to miss the staff at my current work place. They made me feel so at home and made working in the FO very nice (minus a couple of psychotic guests).

All of sudden, I'm finding myself kerinduan the good ol times back in Switzerland. The company i had etc is very different to the ones I have now. Of late I'm finding myself getting closer to a few people whom I would never in my life imagine I would share so much. But they make life more interesting than ever. You guys know who you are so I ain't gonna mention any names. But no matter what there are certain people in life that we meet and click and no matter what or how far the distance, the friendship only grows stronger. Dang I miss you guys!! and I miss life in Switzerland.

@#*#*!! my Streamyx got cut!! Dang dah la bill wasn't sent and then they cut! cis!! So now stuck with dial up till we pay the bill (well mom's gonna do it later) since I'm gonna hit the sack soon. :p. LEMBAPNYER DIAL-UP!!!!

Anyways I'm off to bed, looks like sandman has finally done his rounds. 1023hrs and Rj is gonna go snooze for a couple of hours. But I leave with 2 photos. One with a dear friend who will be heading off to UK too and the other of a place that I find incredible if anyone can study in as Leysin to me = holiday environment :p. Opps I suddenly feel like reading a novel hmm... to fight sleep and read the novel or sleep. Let's see which one wins once I snuggle up on my bed with the novel haha. **lembapnyer to load a pic*.

Lily & I cam-whoring up in Leysin ^_^"

The place is beautiful when the mist doesn't hide its beauty!
but a tad too depressing when it comes to studying (at least for me)

This post as the title indicates is going to be an update on the happenings that have taken place since the last post.

To all those who prayed for my friend C, I am forever grateful. Your prayers was heard by the Almighty and my friend is not only out of the danger zone and ICU but on the road to recovery ^_^". Now I just hope that the injuries sustained does not effect her physically especially her since she got stabbed in the kidney area. Once again those of you who offered prayers for her THANK YOU!! May God shower you with blessings!.

On to another note, I finally signed with the hotel I was working with since 1st of March and am now on 3months probation before becoming a permanent staff. Hehehe doubt that will happen because I plan to hand in my resignation letter before my 3months are up and fly to UK (if all works out). I am finally starting to enjoy my work mainly as now (well since last week), I have my own password to the OPERA PMS system. What the big deal you may ask? hahahah big! very big!! because now I can finally do check out and cashiering hahaha. Money money come to me!! (sadly cannot keep for myself) hahaha. So now next up is receiving the daily float which will enable me to totally handle all related cash issues that come my way. Though it also increases the headaches as money issues = headaches. Already a fellow new colleague has to pay the hotel back RM600 due to not charging the guest on certain things. Billing procedures at the hotel is a bit complicated due to improper routing systems done at times by the rsvn ppl and also due to accounts with Travel agents etc. So far RJ has not made any mistakes except missing a guest wake up call once (*touch wood* hope nothing does happen). oh yea now I am no longer known as a casual staff but as a Guest Experience Executive!! (hahaha title only nice... but its actually only the first level at the front desk).

Wah yesterday was such a torture for me at work. We had massive check out of 3 groups with over 250rooms and a busy check-in process as well as many of the rooms were not ready in time. On top of all that, I was in pain. Why? My backache came back on Saturday night. It came back with a blast that I wasn't ready to deal with. It prevented me from standing straight yesterday leaving me a bit hunched during my whole working period and of all days I to work a 10hour day shift yesterday thanks to my Rooms Division Manager. But work had to go on right, so there I was doing my work as usual, happily chatting with guests while checking them in/out but inside suffering unbearably the pain! I am only 24 23+ this year and already having so many probs sigh. But what to do, had to to that rock climbing thingy in 2002. Minus the injured back, the whole experience was unforgettable! Given the chance I would 100% go rock climbing again! hehehe.

Thought I could have a nice restful off day today but had to go to the hotel for HR issues in relation to no longer being a casual staff!! hahaha. Had my picture taken for the staff card, issued locker key access and opened a new bank account. Only thing pending now is visiting the docs.

Ever since yesterday, I have been craving to jump into the pool for a nice good swimming session. I need to start again and build up my stamina like I used to. Doubt I could complete 10 laps now. But swimming has to be put on hold for the time being. Hopefully next week when I'm doing the graveyard shift again I can get some good laps in during the day. Dang I wished I had a pool or access to the pool like I used to back in PD. I missed being able to jump into the sea or heading off to the Yatch Club in PD whenever I felt like it. Though I love life in KL alot sometimes I miss the good ol days back in PD.

Oh craps, I've got to go for another medical check up. This time it has to be done by the panel doctor that the hotel deals with. Crapo Crap! I hate having needles poked into me and I have to do it again!! *sobs sobs*. Anybody wanna teman me go ah?? Why la someone not here, if not at least not so tensed. Talking about someone... have you ever missed someone so much that sometimes you just don't know how to get over it. It has happened to me before but I would have to say meeting this someone has changed my life a lot. It has made me stronger than I was before on dealing with a lot of issues. No words can express how grateful/thankful I am for having cross paths with you ^_^".

I want more Hols!!!

Category: , , By R.J
Craps!! I've had 4 days of holidays to relax and I didn't!! How smart is that?? Dang me for taking the hols during this Easter period to relax! Friday was exceptionally fun and relaxing (a very much needed social day), Saturday nothing much except mom wouldn't let me sleep in peace and at night was of course the Holy Saturday / Easter Eve Mass and since I had plans to meet Intan on Monday here in KL, I decided Sunday would be all mine. That was before Au.Leona had to go call and invite us for lunch and she had cooked fish curry! hahaha. I am not a fan of fish curry but her fish curry is the best I've had and well that was it...I was up and ready in record time hahaha. Oh boy I think I gained a few extra kilos yesterday as I gobbled down so many fishy fish and nasi hahaha *grins*. Today of course was spent with a dear friend Intan who stopped by here in Msia for 1 night from Switzerland before proceeding back to Indonesia. Wah never walked so much since I came back!! Now my legs all have no feelings and soaking in hot water didn't seem to do the trick :(. Waaaa!! I so don't want to wear heels tomorrow... but sadly I can only whine on that matter as no matter how I pray for wish, wearing heel tomorrow at work is a must! Though I think I will stick to wearing my Hush Puppies court shoes tomorrow and only start wearing the new heely court shoes I bought on Wednesday.

Talking about shoes, I've finally got a new pair of sneakers courtesy of mom ^_^". Plus I ended up buying 2 T-shirts from Giordano ... Black T-shirts much to moms' disapproval hahaha. Today was interestingly tiring yet massively fun. It brought back good ol' memories from the old days back in IHTTI. Sure sounds like I left IHTTI eons ago rather than 6 months ago hehehe. But memories with Intan I would say go back to my second year in IHTTI where we were kaki gossip, kaki makan and also kaki clubbing and minum! hahaha. But, 1 pair of sneakers, 2 t-shirts, 1 unmissable Starbucks Coffee, 1 super massively yummy pork rib lunch etc later, my feet have no feeling what so ever!! hahaha. Though my tummy is very happy of being well fed today, my wallet is crying! hahaha and I'm staring to ramble!


Oh yea today my cousin niece (well my cousin Shanti's daughter who is much much older than me hehe) Leila added & messaged me on msn!! Bet you're wondering what's great about it right. Well nothing except I haven't seen nor spoken to her since I was 7!! (since that is when she came down to Msia...and when she finally came down again last year I was in Switzerland). But thanks Bro for giving out my e-mail add without informing me beforehand so there I was going... I quote,"Hi there....may I know who you are?". aduh buat malu je asking my cousin that hahaha.

Okies my rambling tak tentu pasal is a sign for me to slowly go hit the pillows... but dang today is Monday which means CSI back to back hahaha. Off for now. Time to Zzz if I'm want to be sober and in the right state of mind for work tomorrow morning. ~Toodles~
