1 week down, 9 more weeks to go for PA! =)

I am having my internship at Ama** Sanctuary Resort,a new 5-star resort in Sentosa owned by Ama** Holdings. I am attached to the Front Office Department and the 1st week of internship was so far so good. I learned more than what I did in my lecture notes. Not exactly tasked with very important duties, but I count myself lucky considering the fact that some of my friends ended up with shitty job scopes. So ya, I am not complaining about anything. =)

One thing I love about the hospitality sector is the fact that everyday is a different day and you get to see all kinds of people. This is a really good opportunity for me to learn more about the operations aspect of a hotel and also, think about what I want to do after I graduate next year. In the meantime, I am looking forward to seeing more exciting stuff in the weeks to come.

And yay, no shift work for me this coming week cos I am with Reservations and will thus be working normal office hours! =)

Worked for 4hrs on Saturday before heading to Siloso Beach to meet my HCCO friends. Hmm, if not for the fact that I was working in Sentosa, I might really give the gathering a miss. But I am glad that I went cos it's been a long time since I last saw my CO friends. Come to think of it, I was not a very enthusiastic member back then cos I was quite busy with the Chinese Society and LEP club activities. I was never really close to the people there, but somehow or rather there was a sense of familiarity all over again when I saw them on Saturday. Was surprised that I actually had so much to say to some of them. In short, I really appreciated the juniors' efforts. I did enjoyed myself. =)

The people who turned up

My batchmates

And I took the Sentosa Express for the first time when we left the island. I couldn't recognise any of the attractions at all. It dawned upon me that it's been ages since I really explored Sentosa. Shall do that one day when I end work early.

I love doing random things by myself. =D

Attended Huiyun's birthday party on Sunday. Saw my THM friends there and everyone started sharing (or rather, complaining) about their PA experience so far. Just wanna tell everyone to hang in there. It's afterall, only a couple of weeks more before it all ends. Regardless of whether you had a good or bad experience, it's in one way or another, a learning experience to remind you of what you want and what you don't want to go into in the future. So ya, hang in there! =)

To keep my brain cells alive, I went to the library to borrow some books. Finally found 鲁迅's 《狂人日记》at the National Library. Can't wait to read all the short stories inside!

Concerts and parties coming up in the next couple of weeks! Something to spice up my life! =)
