Rejected Interview Invitation

Guess I'll post more just to replace what I've forgotten to post earlier this month. Rejected an interview invitation from Astro. It's really a big temptation, the offered pay is more than double what my current salary. As well as a lot of allowance and it's a lot nearer with my home. Guess what? I'm very eager to step into this industry and it will be a total waste of 2 month in my life just to learn all the so called foundation if I accept the job offer. I truly believe that if you have interest with your job, even harder task will looks pretty much easier.

Went to visit some of the Ex-Lecturers who currently work in Berjaya University College of Hospitality. Glad to see all of them enjoying their work too. Somehow working as lecturer is kinda good and I might even consider to be a lecturer when I'm old hahah. Enjoyed their meal at their cafe, though it's cafe but the served food is not that simple and it's very detailed. Saw ..

Chef Andy aka. Ah Suk - My course tutor of year 1. Taught me culinary and kitchen operation sub, very funny and friendly lecturer. One of the main reason for me to visit BUCH

Chef Loke - Very outgoing and funny lecturer, master in pastry and always blow water with us

Mr Joykin - My lecturer in alcoholic and beverage operation. Very knowledgeable with alcoholic, cocktail and wine. He's very sarcastic when I was under him

Mr Teddy - My lecturer in Introduction to Business. Opened up my heart both in marketing and business.

Ms May - Lecturer in Intro to Hosp and Tourism industry. Not so close with her but she's still very friendly.

Chef Siew Lee - Didnt taught my any subject, but worked for her for the preparation to conduct pastry workshop before BUCH was officially opened.

also met some of my seniors who currently work as lab assistant at BUCH.

felt happy for going to pay a visit with my ex lecturer. Will definitely go back there for some light meals as well as washing eye lawlness.

A Blink of An Eye ... March gone already

It feels like just 2 weeks ago since I last updated my blog ... but in fact, OMG is a month already. Guess I'm too busy with MATTA fair past few weeks. Really been work like hell for that 3 days + 1 days before for setting up the booth. During that few days, I am really so so so so so freakinggg tired until I don't have the mood to think anything for the period Literally I can't feel my leg at all after I went back from work. Felt great as I've learned a lot actually, this is the first time I'm working in matta fair and guess what, setting up the booth actually kinda fun. Saw neighbour company APPLE doing their as-usual-so-bloody-grand decorations ... One of my senior predict that the whole MATTA fair would easily costs them more than 200k. But this isn't strange at all. They do really advertise their 'prestige tourism'. Wondering ... what kind of tourism service they offer? until 8 days Japan trip would costs us rm10k ?


It's been a month and half in this company, guess i just got all the basic skills in order to survive in this industry. Sharpened a damn lot with my geographic skills, kinda motivated to hold my first sales kit and start blowing water with my customer. Felt lucky that I'm able to go for the training class @ Amadeus, the main system that operates in my company. Met a guy who taught me some of the different pathway in tourism industry. He do offer me something good, guess I don't wanna mention it here. Since I've already know inside my heart. Asked some of my friends and family member, what they are saying is very very true. There's nothing called kind hearted in working world. There's not a need to be good to employer as they are not doing good for us. Sometime you just need to be cruel *RAWR*


Also learned a lot of marketing gimmick this month bwahahaha :D

Freedom of choice ? = FOC
Buy 1 free 1 = this one really tricky as well .. this term do have a lot of meaning.
