F&BMA dinner and dance last night was a blast!
it's way better than SCC's.
haha.
serious.
no offence but it's true!
i swear...
Great planning, fantastic emcee, pretty good food, nice people, etc.
the F&BMA youth arm was also officially launched and it was well-received.
there will be a meeting next wednesday to finalise the positions of the main and sub committees.
apparently, i'm dead-set as the head of membership already.
and i guess it's fine by me...
it's where i have the most experience in...
hmm...
it was a great occasion for networking and having fun.
met the who's who of the local F&B industry, won a sausage-eating competition (it's true!!!), and won my first ever D&D lucky draw prize in my life.
i think this weekend have to go and buy 4D already.
haha...
today,
i found out that my manager and TT's a committee member of the ARDE Singapore.
and that's the people i was in charge of serving when they had a gathering at Pan Pacific's Summerhouse last year... i remember serving Mr Revi Nair.
haha...
but i cannot recall ever seeing my manager there.
oh well.
anyway,
he gave me a side-job to do.
to call every hotel in his list and verify the general manager's names... then compile and send out emails to them...
sounds damn simple right?
haha... he's gonna pay me $100.
wee~!
haha...
and he asked me whether wanna work part-time at the cafe at TT. he'll pay me $7 per hour.
wadehell!? that's way above the industry average for cafes.
haha...
but i told him i'll consider... cos they dont seem to take the F&B part of the business very seriously. but i'm the sort that take F&B damn bloody seriously if i have to work there.
so yeah... still considering.
plus i dunno if i wanna OT in TT longer than i already have to everyday.
despite the fact that i'll be paid. it's a totally different thing altogether.
is it?
hmm...
i'll keep thinking.
and i got my PMS password!!
though the system we use at TT is slightly different from the "idiot-proof" FIdelio software we learn in Lodging Systems and Operation.
Epitome is so much more of a hassle but interesting to learn about anyway.
though my password only allows access into the query database and i wont be allowed to use it to do posting and make changes, i believe it's still rather early... my chance will come.
i'll be patient... i have to be.
anyway
i'm so tired.
i slept barely 4 hours last night and had to go to work.
supposed to end at 3, we ended up leaving only at 4.30.
grrr....
some training thingy.
i was barely awake already... dozing off...
i think i'm gonna go sleep in awhile, as soon as i'm done with this post...
i know why i'm addicted to Nora Roberts already...
it's because of the way she describes and portrays her characters when they're so crazily and deeply in love that they know it's where their destiny lies the moment they lay eyes on each other.
i immerse myself in their worlds and find myself lost when i read "The End".
i'm not ashamed to say that.
though most will tell me it's fiction and i'm just dreaming... i will still say i believe it exists and it's waiting somewhere. maybe i've found it, and just havent realised it. and maybe i've lost it and it's gone forever.
i don't really know it myself...
last night, i woke up in the middle of the night and couldnt shake this thought off my mind: "do i really know myself? is this how i wanna be for the rest of my life? maybe i should drop everything i have now, travel and seek out the true Cleo.
it will be the unrealistic me. but then again, i dont think i am a realistic person through and through.
i'm still a dreamer and a seeker.
and i miss you. crazily. do you?
