good evening~

one week already~ front office is not that bad after all...

working in service center and reception for few days before having 1 day OFF...learn quite alot now..preapring registration cards...dinner pass...deposit box....etc etc...those simple tasks already can be handle professionally...(ahem ahem...)

only cannot assign room and check in, check out as well as touching money!!!!

dont dare to touch also...big responsibility~

most of the front office staff are as crazy as those in beverage side...they make noises when got no guest around...and front office is not that strict, serious after all as what "someone" said back in college...as long as they provide what the guest ask for, giving professional service..that is fine if they do crazy stuff to relax themselve...(including me..haha)

so far so good is my answer~

but i still miss beverage department...

I found this when I was walking alone along the beach....

made by 2SHORT, 2TALL....(dont ask me, I dont know them...)

my foot prints along the beach....

just syok sendiri with my camera during off day....woohooo~

I aint camwhore...and got no 1 to help me, so my flipflop be my model~

teaching science now....pepejal ----> air ----> gas

beautiful sun set...(it was 7.30pm when I got this pic from my apartment)

same sunset...different way of snapping it~

family enjoying sunset~ (so do I....)

sitting on the beach..enjoying the sunset, this feeling is just so great!!!

found a small part of rainbow during sunset...

as the sun goes down....going down....down~

sunset...calm me down~

this is so kampung-feel...

wanted to be just like this eagle...so free~

or this dog....so relaxing~

and its time to go home....(some teenagers playing banana boat during sunset)

there will be no best shot for this post..but I personally love the first 1...and few more..haha

as I said, I aint a camwhore...so, it will be hardly find my pic in this blog now adays...cause of the buziness of everyone in the apartment...haha~

till then to my next off day....ciao~ and take care

from....to...

on monday (7/1/08)..

from Beverage department to Front Office

from standing 8 hours to sitting 8 hours

from open air to aircond room

from casual environtment to serious environment

from short sleeve to long sleeve

from looking at beverages to looking at computer screen

from looking at bikini girls, watching TV when got nothing to do to staring at computer screen, looking at 4 walls when got nothing to do.

from bartender to reception, service center and bell service

from 5pm - 1am to unstable working time (8am - 4pm, 3pm - 11pm, 9am - 5pm)

from listening " 2 tiger draft please....or brandy neat" to "toot..tooot.tooot(phone ring la)..or calling service center..over, send over send over...(walkie talkie)"

from saying "ok, 2 FBI and 1 AK47" to saying "good morning, service center, may I help you"

from talking nonsence with everyone to listening nonsence from everyone

arghh!!!! I miss becoming a bartender!!!!!!

last day in Beverage department...wearing the same colour uniform on my first day here~

seriously Sigi's is a great place for trainees...no matter is the bar or the restaurant itself...

the staffs over there are so damn freaking friendly...except for 2!!!!! (I know, Jin know who they are)

on the final few days working in Sigi's bar..I saw this small sticker paste on the wall beside the cashier..

it says "Best restaurant in Malaysia"

so I asked the supervisor, Shamala...she said "really, go and have a look at the wall over there"(pointing at the entrance of the restaurant)

I walk over there and I was shocked..

after almost 1 month working here...today I only saw this!!!!!

1997, 1999 to 2006...they are the best restaurant in Malaysia..according to Malaysia Tadler~

wow..I am so lucky to work in Sigi's..(anyway, Sigi's was founded by a head chef from Austria name Sigi something...)

dont know 2007 can win or not..haha

they are so famous..until Jalan Jalan Cari Makan also come and visit...

I am so lucky to being able to train in Sigi's..haha

*******

alright...time to share some Penang's life here~

in Penang, their public bus service only from 2 company..1 is Rapid Penang and another 1 is

Chin Yi and Jin said it is called K-G-N HIN..

but since Penang is a Hokkien state...so, it can be "Kegn Hin"(it can be someone's name or some other meaning which I will surely find it out before I leave Penang)

last wed, me, Jin and Yi got day off together...so decided to go down to Perangi Mall~

it was me and Jin idea to go out...but Yi suggest Perangi Mall..and end up, she go shopping with 2 body guard~

the first thing attracted us is not hot chicks or big boobs girl...but~

yes...it is..it is....

McDonald's ice cream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (fainted for few minutes after seeing this pic again)

1 of my best shot so far...got this when we came out to look for dinner outside Perangi Mall, but end up eating inside ths building..and it taste like Sh******t~

2 days ago...us 4 guys go for dinner at Long Beach foodcourt...when we waiting for our food to come, suddenly start rain heavily...

everyone is enjoying their food...but mostly are tourists~

at Batu Feringgi...you will hardly find nice,cheap, local food..due to the number of tourist around here throughout the year

guess this Chapati cost how much?? well, it cost RM6 which include 1 plain chapati and a bowl of curry chicken...(small bowl)

when I look around and saw those "guai lou" eat until lick fingers...in my mind is "you've got conned..sucker"

this Hokkien Mee in Penang also known as Prawn Mee in KL...they make it like McD~

got small, medium and large!!!! small :RM3.50 , medium :RM6.00 and large :RM9.00!!!!!

I've ordered the medium size prawn mee once...they gave 2 slightly bigger size prawns and it taste ok~

seriously the best food in Batu Feringgi is in Sands Cafe ( Golden Sand resort's cafeteria), hygiene, cooked by qualified chef and most of all, it is FREE!!!!!

food food food..the most headache issue in our mind...when we dont feel like going back to resort and eat..

just a random pic when we go down and throw rubbish before going to have dinner~

the sea and the sky.....ahhhhhhhh~(so relaxing)

the end...today is my day off~

take care everyone...I start to miss my home now...especially streamyx..haha!!!

and ofcourse my family and friends...

2008!!!

Before I start this new blog in this brand new year...I would like to wish all of you Happy NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

I've experienced the busiest life of a bartender...but its fun when everyone is cheering and celebrating. work from 3 to 2am..cool!!!!!!!! tired sial~

last breakfast of 2007~ ROTI CANAI!!!!!!!!

last lunch of 2007~ McDonald's Fillet O-Fish!!!!!( it has been awhile...)

New year's eve preparation at Sigi's~

businest started at 7pm until 1.30am~

but at 12am..not even a single ordern has been made..

because...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! I even have time to snap pic..but just enjoying few mins of new year before going back to work when the guests back to normal and want more drinks!!!!

after a noisy midnight...finally, everything comes to an end...quiet night~(that is Kuda Laut, pool side bar~)

quiet swimming pool..

1 of my best shot of the night...(love the lighting)

GSR at night...the bottom part is Sunset Lounge

the tired people...JJ from 10am to 1am, me from 3pm to 2am..

my tired "hong kong leg"..after walking around the whole resort from 1 outlet to another...standing at the bar and make beverages~ finally can lye down and rest~

sleep till 12 pm...stone at home and went to work from 5pm to 1 am~

got my overtime salary..RM12.50~aikz..

1st day of new year and the business turn 180 degrees...buffet dinner which only have less then 10 tables through out the whole night..ahah

thats why we have time to take some pic before closing the bar...thats Indra and me (trainee from Indonesia...wanted to be a bartender..1 nice guy)

this shows that Jin is not a good photographer...haha

been told that next week, I will be going to front office.

really going to miss the time I had in Sigi's...great start for a trainee like me. The bartenders and the staff in Sigi's are all friendly...Thanks for teaching me!!! (after Front office..I might be back as a waiter here..haha) [kept fingers cross]

this is my last week as a bartender...(time past very fast)

cut my finger when preparing garnishes in a rush during Christmas day...and the plaster they provide is this colourful cute little plaster~ (prevent mixing with food wo~)

the tiny note book that accompany me everyday..all recipes are in it..haha

working in a bar...I never took a sip of alcohol beverage at all..until yesterday after work, bought 2 big bottles of carlsberg and share with Jin..(still got 1 bottle in fridge) [first beer of the year]

the beer caps I have so far..Corona is the best selling bottled beer so far,served with lime wedge in it...Tiger and Carlsberg sold more in draft..cause bottle beer got no happy hour!!! (Beck's is JJ's..no 1 order that from my bar)

alright...thats all from me

everyone take care and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

(day off is so fun...)

day off...

previous post was done in a rush due to I have to snap some pic at the beach~

unfortunately nothing much to snap...only got a few

listening the sound of wave make me calm and relax...though the water is not that clear~

due to the activities around here where some illegal people trying to earn money, the beach is no longer having nice smooth sand but holes everywhere, tracks everywhere...[holes made by horses and tracks made by 4 wheels bike(forgotten what is that thing called)]

seriously I found it very difficult to walk along the beach...you will surely go up and down in order to get to your destination.

a better view..but the sunset not satisfiying me~

got this pic when I first reach at the beach...nothing special, just the sky and the sea with some mountains and beach~

this is my best shot of the day, when I was walking back...saw these 3 kids playing at the beach. quite blur and I change to black and white mode...Like it!!!

the street where most of the international guests got conned~(spell this way?)

time past very fast, and 4 days later it will be 2008!!! I will be spending my first minute of 2008 by preparing drinks or throwing rubbish or just stone there and smile to everyone I meet.

seriously, Batu Feringgi got NOTHING TO EAT!!!!!!

can you believe it that a roti canai can sold at the price of RM6 in a normal food court?? OMG!!!

I kind of like here now, and I kind of liking the working part...no study but working.Ohya, talks about those food in cafeteria...Christmas day is the most special 1 I've ever seen.

before this we have chicken rice, asam laksa..bla bla bla...

but on christmas day, we have french fries, potato salad, prawns and bla bla bla ..but the best is, we have connetto cone ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!!!!! unfortunately I am too full for it~damn!!!

now looking forward for new year day!!!(slight motivation to make me go work everyday)

other motivation is meet new people..build up the courage to talk to stranger...smile to whoever I met and greet every single one...(I am still improving~)

will be bringing my camera to work starts from now..dont want to miss a single thing over there~hopefully no raining today and I can get some nice shots after working...

ohya, Man United beat Everton 2-1 on Saturday, thanks to Ronaldo..and beat Sunderland 4-0 on boxing day...somehow Arsenal drew..and now Man United is on top of the league!! yeah!!!!

new year new wishes...

just hope that everyone wil be happy always, enjoy their life and live a healthy life...lastly, World Peace..

this would be my last blog for this year..I guess~

so HAPPY NEW YEAR and see you guys again NEXT YEAR!!!!

2008, here I come!!!!

blue Christmas!!!!

phew..5 days straight buffet dinner (fri, sat and sun is normal buffet as usual while mon and tues is Christmas buffet)~ beside busy..there is only busier and busiest~

working in the bar in not fun at all, but I am enjoying every minute of it...

a clearer view of my working place...(that person is Jin and he just kepoh walk inside)

the resident band performing on the stage...more lively then the carol choir~

the keyboard player and 1 of the singer is the usual performer...another 1 I dont know her..(they sing very well and powerful and the keyboard players is very talented..)

when the band taking a break, the audio system played the ang mo's favorite song...Y.M.C.A. and immediately those international guest get out from their table and start dancing...(I laugh non-stop but seeing them enjoying the song so much, I also happy)

I bring camera to work for this few days, but unfortunately raining all the time...so cant get any nice pic~aikz!!!

but the best thing being a bartender for this 2 weeks was 1 of the guest gave me 10bucks tips twice!!!!!! the most tips I've ever get, unfortunately he check out today...haha

nothing much..just plain tired~

gtg...have to go to the beach and get some pic!!! ciao~

TAKE CARE everyone!!!!
