It's 4.36am in the morning and here i am blogging my second entry for the day.. Can you belive it?? Well the reason why i'm blogging is not because i can't sleep but because i am freaking bored at work! Yes! I'm at work now midnight shifting! Starting to hate graveyard shift because there simply nothing to do..

1. Change my blogskin


2. List down my 100 Unrealistic Wishes & Wants Edition 2


3. Blog about my trip to Redang last year complete with photos

These three items are a must must for me!

Yawns*

Freaking sleepy but what to do.. I still have 2 more hours to go till i finish my shift.. Gotta head home straight and sleep till afternoon.. It's my off day tomorrow! So i shall sleep less and go out more before the day goes to waste..

This is what i got for my birthday! Cool or what!

I know it's not a DSLR or some cool shit digicam but it' my birthday gift from my friends.. So i shall treasure it! Bought my my beloved Abang, Syaz, Aisyah, Aisyah, Nazrul & Yiling!

And so my 19th brithday just passed 3 days ago.. I still can't believe that i'm 19.. It seems that age is catching up on me.. Haha..

I didn't asked for much for my birthday though.. Besides, it's just my 19th birthday.. I still have like tons more birthdays in future (if i can get to live that long).. I kinda got what i wished for which is to spent time with my friends.. Though my birthday falls on a Monday, Syaz decided to push back the celebration on the saturday night instead..

So on that saturday night, Abang, Syaz, Nazrul & Aisyah came down to Syaz's house at Serangoon.. We had a mini barbecue and spent the whole night there till morning.. And the best part is they bought me a new camera! Woohoo! Now i can take lots and lots of pictures! And the best part is, i can post them up to my blog!

I really enjoyed it because it has been a long time since the 5 of us hang out together.. Everyone's been busy with work and all and i'm exceptionally busy with my attachment.. So i got my birthday wish although i wished that more could come..

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who was part of the birthday gift.. Abang, Aisyah CJ, Aishah, Nazrul & Yiling.. And the one that made it happened, Syaz.. Thank you so much for doing something special for me..

And thank you to my future sister in law and my brother for dropping the birthday present at my hotel's concierge! I love it..

And so i'm 19 now..

Can you belive it?

Well i can't..

I guess i should grow up.. Because ever since i came in to Sentosa 2 years ago.. I started to meet wonderful people.. People who cared for me.. People who pampered me.. People who would spoonfeed me.. People who thought me to love other people and to cherish my friends.. People who thought me to learn from my mistakes.. And amongst these people, there are people who also won't forgive me for my mistakes, people whom have changed towards me..

Until now, i'm still waiting for someone whom have yet to wish me happy birthday.. I guess i've hurt him too much till i'm that insignificant to his life..

Eventhough there wasn't a candle on top of a birthday cake for me to make a wish and blow it off, in my heart, my wish has been made..

I wish for to be forgiven for my mistakes which i've done in the past and i hope to be part of your life once again to those whom i've hurt and inflict pain on.

Because i still want to be treated like a young kid.. To be loved, cared and pampered by my big brothers and sisters..

Honestly, i hate growing up..

It's 2010..

Yeah can you belive how fast time flies? Neither can i..

Well i am really hoping for a good start this year.

And i'm not just gonna hope but work at it as well..

It all started with Siloso Beach Party.. Didn't really did much partying but more to drinking and getting drunk.. But i've reconciled with my loved ones and that's all that i've been wanting to do. At the time when you feel like dying, that's when your true friends appear to keep you warm and be by your side.

I'm looking forward to end my attachment.. Come to think about it, i have less than 3 more month to go and i know it's gonna past real fast. Can't wait for all the graduation parties and chalets.

About my resolution, i have it in my mind and i'm not going to announce it to the whole world because i don't want anyone to critize me should i go back against my resloution. There's not much but i'll probably remember them.

I understand and i can foresee that this year is going to be different than last year. The wheels have turned and i've seen the changes.. Felt them too.. I'm just gonna lay back and let nature take it's course.

I just want to say thank you to all my friends and families, brothers and sisters for taking care of me. I hope you will still do..

I'm gonna sum up what's been happening or what has happened for 2009 in this post.

Started off this year wonderfully. I gained new friends last year whom are now very close to my heart.. I gained a new brother and at the same time lost one too..

Also left my attractions family for a better life in artiste which was a challenge to me because i was cast upon as a "traitor" to some.. Well at the end of the day, i'm leading a better life.. It was painful for me too to leave some of my friends..

School was abit non-existence for me as i didn't turn up for much of my classes and of cause i flunk my exam which was a total regret for me.. But i'll never forget my wonderful classmates and how funny, bitchy, sexy and dearest to me..

What i remembered the most about this year was my Bangkok & Redang trip. That was seriously an awakening for me to see how beautiful the world is out there and it motivates me to travel more.. My dream is to travel to the most beautiful natural places on Earth such as Mt Everest, Maldives and a lot more places that i can't think of right now.. And from that trip, i learned a new skill which is Scuba Diving! An expensive yet amazing sport which i'll never forget and hope to dive more..

Attachment shook and woke everyone up.. It was a tough decision to choose a hotel after getting a few offers.. I had to really decide carefully in which i feel that i've made the wrong choice but i'll still stick through it till the end unlike one of my friend who actually gave up halfway..

I witness a few losses of lives these year which made me treasure my family more.. I guess i'm more filial to my parents now and bersyukur (thankful) to Allah for giving me a complete family. I'll promise to treasure my family more.

I guess i 've done enough partying this year. It's time i lead a laid back life for 2010. 2009 was seriously a hell of an experience for me. I learned alot from every single moment that happened and i think it made me stronger and i am what i am because of everything.

A list of what i learned...

1. To know who your true friends are in times of need.
2. To appreciate every single moment and experience as a learning point
3. To learn from my mistakes

I would just like to say that i'm gonna put whatever that has happened in 2009 behind and lead a new life. I'm not gonna think about 2009 because to me, it's been a rough year. Neither am i going to forget what that can never be forgotten, forgive what that can never be forgiven and look back. Instead, i'm going to start a new and fresh life for 2010. I'm turning 19 this year and its high time i think for my future.

Can you believe how free and bored i am at work that i can actually blog??? Haha

Watched Avatar trailer and guess what? I am so loving that movie that i shall watch it.. When i get my pay.. Thinking of watching it on Monday but have yet to make further plans.. Shall drag a few of my friends along..

Today's my third midnight shift and i have three more to go.. The next three will be a blast because Ezann Lovato Adam is working with me!!! Can't wait!!

I realised that i've been wasting my day sleeping at home when i could have gone out. Therefore, i've decided to go donate blood tomorrow before i start work at SOS followed by Carlton. Hope i don't get woozy from the insufficient blood in my body. Sorry Abang that i'm donating blood without you. By the time you have the time for me, i've have already puked blood because of too much blood in my system. (Like as if such things exist)

Looking forward for Siloso Beach Party this coming New Year's eve... I love beach parties.. Partying at the beach is so much different than in clubs.. You get to roam around to different arenas for different genres of songs and there is never lack of space for you to dance.. Plus since it's like an annuan thing, chances of you meeting you friends there are pretty high.. That's what i love.. Such a reunion and a gathering...

It's 2am in the morning and i have 5 more hours to go.. What can i possibly do in 5 hours? Facebook? Blog? MSN? Done that! Urrgghh! Time is flying super slowly right now..

And guess what? There was a delay flight just now from XXXXXX airlines because apparently, their engine caught fire and all of the passengers had to check in to our hotel. All 100+ of them.. Happening siol! Most of the passengers were very nice though even after a long flight.. And they quickly rushed to the cafe for supper because they were famished.. Did the airline starved them?? Precisely why i didn't named the airline..

Alright i guess i'd better get back to work.. (What work???) Haha.. See ya in a while..

I just realised that the year is coming to an end soon and i need to get my resolutions ready by the end of these month and hope to accomplish it because it seems that people write down their resolutions but never work on it. I'll try my best to accomplish at least three of it.

Once i'm done with my resolutions, i shall post it up.

The road to education for me is soon coming to an end now that i thought about it. I'm left with exactly 3 more month of cheap labour and that's it. I get my cert, jump around freely, lead my island life back..... Well at least for a couple of month till i start my N.S... Hoping that they'll call me in say around june-july-ish.. Thinking of going somewhere first in June.. Probably heading to a dive site.. Say Great Barrier Reef??? Haha.. Or maybe Maldives??

You may think that "Oh what a farfetch idea he has.. Maldives.. What is he thinking??"

Well to enlighten you, that place is dying.. Because of the rising tide, Maldives is going to disappear in a matter of time. So before it, or me, dies, i intend to dive there one day.

Well i don't mind travelling alone. I find peace and tranquility in it and i don't have to put up with
"people" and "people" who don't appreciate nature.

Dear Allah,

I've never asked to be the richest person on earth. I've never asked to be the smartest person on earth. I've never asked for the most perfect life on earth.

All that i pray for is for my family to stay by my side always. Don't take any of them away from me.

Amin.

Other people look up to celebrities, well know figures, religious leaders as their inspiration, their motivation and their drive. But for me, i look up to only one person in life. And he is my brother, Abang Halim. Someone who has strong characteristics and good leadership skills. Someone who doesn't deserve to lose his grandma who brought up and took care of him for 23 years. Someone whom i've wronged and i should have never doubted him.

Before, i've never understood him him and the way he works. I've always question his ways and his action but now, i know the reason why.

Abang, adik will never hate you abang. Even if adik does, it's only temporary. At the end of the day, adik will still find abang if adik got problems. Thank you so much for guiding and giving adik inspirations and motivations. Adik will really take your words to heart as much as adik pretend to not hear it.

Love,
Adik

This is going to be a long post so bear with me for a bit and be patient.. That is if you want to know more about what's going on with my life. If not then i don't see the reason why are you even in my blog. Since it's been so long since i udated my blog, i'll have a whole load of story to share.

1st up is my attachment.

Currently now im on an attachment program for 6 month. This is part of my course of study in ITE College West Clementi Campus as Hospitality Operations. I'm attached to Carlton Hotel and it commenced on 24th September 2009 till somewhere in March and my first department is Carlton Club. I've been at the club lounge on the 26th floor for about more than a week now. What i didn't expect to be doing up there is actually FnB line which i know nuts about and have zero experience in it. But with the help and guidance of my wonderful colleagues, i'm able to pull through.

My job scope for is basically preparing for breakfast which is from 7-10am and and additional 45 minutes on Sundays. So i have to be up at the club by 6.40 all dressed to prepare for breakfast. Which means i have to catch the first bus at 5.30am or else i'll be late and also i have to be up by 4.45am. Super early.

I have to serve guests drinks or whatever their request when they are at the club. So far i've yet to touch on the checking in part which will be later on once i've mastered the FnB side. I've learn my ways round the hotel where i learnt to stock-take and all. I've been taught how to fold napkins and how to set the table. Ouh and i almost forgot. There's also evening cocktail from 6-8pm where guests has freeflow of alcohol so i learnt how to make the different beverages ranging form coffee to Campari Orange and from hot chocolate to Gin & Tonic.

But the best part about being at the Club is my colleagues like Catherine Phua, my assistant manager, who never fails to make me laugh every single day at work. She is basically the reason that i look forward to when going to work and she ensures the well being of us. There's Netha, the indon minah girl, who has a german boyfriend and she either fights with him on the phone or misses him. There's kelson, my senior, Ji Hun, another trainee from Korea who pronounce pizza as Pijja and my manager, Rekha Kaur, whom is so far nice to me but Netha calls her the Dragon.

There's also Lydia Junny who wears $5 jeans from Serangoon to work and a big Polo T with slippers. There's a reason why i put her in a different paragraph from the others.

Basically i only have 1 off day every week. That's the hotel industry. And my shift is from 7am-3pm and 3-11pm. But coming soon is the midnight shift from 11pm-7am from what i heard. Right now, everyone is training to be lobby host because of the construction going on at Carlton. Will update you further on that.

Apart from my attachment, i really do miss my island family. Everynight, i would be thinking of sitting at Seah Im with them, chit chatting with them, smoking away our lives and all. Ireally do miss that but its just that my time does not permits and i'm physically to tired to make that happen. What i'm really afraid is that i'll be drifting apart from them after these 6 month which will be a nightmare for me. Even right now, i'm starting to feel the seperation as more staff are quitting and new people are coming in. Even with my brother, i'm starting to feel the distance between us.

My Dinner & Dance had just passed and i walked away with $20 vouchers from NTUC and we all concluded that the prizes were bought my Ms Deon because most of the prizes are so Auntie-ish like foot spa, Soap, Ntuc vouchers, caculator etc. I was just disappointed that i didn't get to club with the rest on that day because i was in morning shift the next day.

I think thats about this post. Will be back with more updates.

Just a couple more days to the big celebration and yet i'm so nonchalant bout it. I mean gosh it's the same tradition every year where you do the exact same thing, eat the exact same food etc. And every year, somehow my house has to be painted whether i like it or not. The reason why my room has to be painted is because my wall color does not match the curtain that my mum bought for me.

Currently listening to Paramore - Ignorance

I met up with Deela yesterday! As usual, we always have loads to talked about. Never once did the both of us have nothing to talked about. Introduced her to some of my artiste colleagues like Suzana & Isaac.. And she felt out of place because all of them (to her) were like high class and all. Haha.. Also introduced her to the SOS crews as well which includes Raudha which she met before at Civic Centre to lepak and my brother.

Back to the paint issue.. My dad has been nagging & nagging about my room and all.. It's like as if he is sick coughing and all yet he can find the voice somewhere to actually nag at me.. Even when i closed my door, his voice somehows can penetrate through the thick walls. I'll get it done by tonight ok!

Mood - Bored (Like everyday)

These holidays is seriously killing me! I mean i totally have nothing to do at all in the day. No plans no plans.. I think today i shall got to island and play Segway. But i just texted Amalina and she 's apparently not working today. Boo! But no matter what, i still have to go to the island to pass Kak Liana the hamsters that she wants.
