some say it's still the honeymoon period.

A Start of Something New
A new place...
A new chapter.
After interviews and disappointments,
Stepped into the working world.
No more being protected and guided by tutors.
No more deadlines and marking guidelines
No more orientation camps and bazaars in school.
First day as a working adult.
Finally got a taste of it, TGIF
More to come, I believe
Apprehension and shyness
Awkwardness and helplessness
Ignorance and carelessness
All to be overcome in the next few weeks.
Go me!

新加坡人 服务态度须改进
身为一名土生土长的新加坡人，我接受了英文教育，并且学会了西方人注重的各种礼仪。但我们一家人也不断地在吸收及阅读台湾的资讯及信息，尤其是关于那里的美食，风景和人情。这也使我们对台湾这个充满文化色彩的地方产生极大的兴趣。 所以在几年前我便和家人到了台湾旅游。
虽然这一趟台湾行已过了几年，我依然记忆犹新。在那短短的几天内，让我印象深刻的除了令人垂涎三尺的台湾小吃外，就是台湾人的服务态度了。他们那以客为尊的态度能让人感到宾至如归，也令我们在台湾的几天过得非常愉快。即使不是服务员，街上的路人也会很热情和亲切地和我们谈话。当时，这一点不但令我对台湾的印象加分，也让我发觉新加坡人的服务态度极度需要改进。
新加坡虽然科技先进，经济繁荣，但在我们服务态度上，远远地被台湾超越了。相比之下，新加坡人待人处事的技巧似乎逊色不少。 在台湾，不管是高级旅店，便利商店，餐馆，甚至是小小的泡泡茶店，服务生都会笑脸迎人地欢迎顾客的光临。这的确能令客人感到开心以及被尊重。 相反的，在新加坡，我们会经常投诉服务员的服务欠佳。投诉的原因往往是因为服务员在顾客面前摆出“臭脸”，或是他们的态度不好，不够积极。更糟的是还有些服务员还趁经理没注意时刻意忽视顾客的呼叫。这一点往往令客人感到不被尊敬，造成非常大的不满。
好的服务并不需要服务员像下人一样伺候顾客。我们不需要会阿谀奉承的人，也不需要凡事都90度鞠躬的服务员。我们需要的是一颗心，一个能真诚和充满热忱对待每一个客人的一颗心。

im back back back!
not really in action. but ohwell..
kinda vexed over birthday party's venue.
looking at the numbers, i think i might have about 50 friends coming? if 50% of the guest list is a safe estimate. plus relatives, it'll be about 80 people?
now now now...
function room-it says max 50 people. but i think it can fit abit more. but might be squeezy. and it's not very nice/pretty too, considering it's just right beside the carpark.
pros:old people can play mahjong upstairs? + convenience
cos: not very pretty + might be squeezy + need to source for caterer again
WAPOS- looks good. menu/prices/deco all not bad. but im afraid it'll be too squeezy although the people there said it could fit 70 people without the tables. mum says it's abit dark there too (although that's really the last of my concerns...)
pros: got sofa corner i can let the kids do some stuff there so they wont run about... + food + deco checked.
cons: too small? and people might have to sit outside, which i think is pretty not nice. :( + not halal, so no malay friends invited.
AHHH vexed!

the rain yesterday was so heavy that apparently there was a flood at my condo's basement. so serious that the lifts were flooded and they had to be under servicing for 1.5 days. we had to climb the stairs up to the 7th floor for 2 days lor! haha... i feel sad for the families on the penthouse floor. 12 storeys! >.< maybe if i were them i would book a hotel and stay there until the lift servicing is complete. hee
转眼间我这生中的最后一个学校假期就快过了。
好快啊。 再多一年， 我就毕业了。
。。。后悔为什么在大学期间这么不积极， 没有去争取我应该可以做到的事。没有run for committee membership. 其实我相信我能把这一切做得更好。后悔没交多一些朋友，后悔没有参加多一点cca. 后悔没有apply for SEP.
剩下一年就毕业了。成绩不理想, 又没有经验，没有天分，没有network, 没有机会。
害怕毕业后会变无业民族。 天啊。
好像太迟了。。。
３个月的假期， 我又对不起自己了。
很多想做的事没做到。
学烹饪，减肥（惭愧），卖东西， 赚钱 等等。都没有做到。
恒心很重要。。。
去年減了５公斤。（雖然我相信是因爲生病）
今年體重竟然維持。不行啊。。。天啊～～～

haven't been blogging for so long. in a blink of an eye, next week is already the last week of school term. meaning the 3 months holiday is coming! :)
pretty excited about the langkawi trip with LPYs, but super worried about the amount of sun that i'm going to get. I guess everyone knows that i'm super "allergic" to the sun, so i dunno how i'll handle it this time -_-''' and i don't even have beach wear. lol
honestly i'll prefer to go somewhere to shop and with loads of aircon, lol but hey this is my first time overseas with friends (w/o adults!), so anywhere is fine actually.
school is becoming more and more mundane to me. last 2 semesters left and soon i'll be an working adult. it seems that i really have no direction in life. everyone else seems to know what they want to be. how? and sad to say, i've never tried to 争取what i want. but what is it that i really want? no more SEPs for me, no internships, no jobs. aiyo seriously i dunno how i can get a job after i graduate. with so little experience and exposure, who will want to hire me? (p.s. i really wanna be a tai tai, but that'll take some time too. need to work before that happens...)
haven't been catching up with friends lately, kinda sucks cos everyone's so busy, but is that an excuse? hmm... i see yq almost 3 times a week, and i see yc 4 times a week, but we seriously don't stop to chat or just chill out. :S kinda sad. i miss the lunches that we used to have last semesters! pls pls let us have time to hang out in the holidays! :)
oh and YS is getting a dslr! canon 500d. happy happy. now can play around with one and learn how to use.
I really like to take photos but i don't think im really good at it. haha, and i always thought my camera was ok, until recently. i wanna buy a 2nd hand one from yq but i don't think my dad's gonna be very happy about it, since i think we're getting a karaoke set already. ohwells. maybe wait until my birthday to ask for one :P.
i'm going to start exercising again after the exams! i wanna lose 5kg again, like what i did last year after the exams! jiayou!!!!

my second week of school is going to end after tomorrow!
dropped the "module of a lifetime" which costs 795 points, others took it up at 1 point in another round @_@. so wasted! seriously i don't think it's worth it to coop yourself up in the lab in school for 2 weeks just for some school assignment. hey you don't even get paid for it! at least in the working world when the boss hands you some freaking tough job, i know you can't reject it because "oh it'll take me too much time" but, at least you are paid for it right? LOL and if i wanted to learn those skills i believe i can do it at my own free time, and not be forced to it and being stressed out by a module in school -_-
nvm it's all over
sigh printer is spoilt, so i cant print notes and write on them. bringing the netbook to school everyday. guess it's worth the buy!! $699+$55 OMG
and OH i thought it would be good to have a free day. because i'm so used to having a free day since Sem 1. i actually opted for a 8am tutorial slot on thursday. O_O bless me plsthx. i hope i can wake up and actually attend the lecture, both in mind and body. haven't woke up so early in ages to get to school... @.@
lalala off to sleep. lecture at 12 tomorrow~~
