Fourth vowel. This time round, an A-..

2 more to go to complete my collection of distinctions. This module will be the toughest of all but I'll do my best...

Striving and believing!



Go go go, KC! :)

OUCH!

Friends that you know bad-mouthing each other and you're caught in the middle? Ever experienced that? Well, I've had my fair share of such incidences but I decided to pen down an entry regarding this..

People always say that there are 2 sides to a coin. And similarly, there are 2 sides of the stories that needs to be understood too. Is it so difficult for people to communicate properly? I don't see the need to go around telling another person about how bad the other party is. If you're unhappy with a person, will you be frank with him/her about it? I will. But I'll try to put it across subtly, without hurting the ego or feelings of the other person.

So please, if there's anyone that you may end up unhappy with in the future, be wise to act. There is no need to bad-mouth or go to the point of backstabbing the other party.

Psalms 34:13 (NKJV)

¹³ Keep your tongue from evil,
And your lips from speaking deceit.

Okay, enough of ranting.

Just this past Monday, our school had VIP visitors from Rasa Sentosa Resort, Singapore. The HR director visited a few weeks back and was interested to do a tie-up with my school, SD'H, to offer internships for students. And on Monday, the 3 directors of Rasa Sentosa Resort visited us. Namely the directors of Rooms, F&B and of course HR.

My lecturer told us about the internship proposal and it's really interesting! Firstly, if you're interning as a trainee there for 6 months, they will rotate your job scope around the different departments to gain the necessary experience. Thereafter, if your performance is awesome, you'll be shortlisted to continue interning as a Corporate Management Trainee. This simply means that your future career will within the Management after going through the structured training provided.

The thing that got me so excited is the fact that Rasa Sentosa Resort is reopening in early 2011 after complete makeover to their facilities. Most importantly, Rasa Sentosa Resort is part of Shangri-La!

Oh, the prestige!! :)

I watched Toy Story 3 yesterday! All thanks to E who always manage to spoil my plan to be a loner. It was well-worth the rush down to JP to watch before the crazy evening crowd comes flooding in. I saw loyalty being portrayed in the movie. Loyalty is just like loving or caring for someone. It doesn't suffice to say it a million times without showing it in actions. That is why..

People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care.

This week seems to be passing very fast again. Presentation + Report deadline is nearing.. Need creative wisdom to come up with an awesome presentation to secure my hopes of getting another A for this Marketing module. Really wanna finish up this module and be "delivered".

E, I'm so looking forward to 2nd July! :)

An important lesson I learnt today..

The beauty of merciful righteousness.

Being righteous doesn't mean that you have to punish or judge another person. We are all imperfect and want to be better. Being merciful is being righteous.

Are you?

Woohoo, in a blink of an eye, it's Friday again! Which means my stress level is actually escalating with each passing second. This is my second last module and I can't wait to graduate and get thrown into the industry. Gonna be a helluva coaster ride! :)

Anyways, decided to drop by with a short entry to pen down something that happened while I took a nap. But before I go there, I'm quite surprised with myself that I managed to wake up for a good breakfast earlier this morning. A good start to a day begins with a sumptuous breakfast and boy, it was good. Had a 'pesky' company too. HAHA! :)

Okay, I shall just skip the boring details of school and go straight to the reason of why I decided to pen down this entry.

It's because of this nightmare that I had while I took a nap. Someone really dear and close to me died in this nightmare. The person was my uncle. The one who saw me grow from the first day I was born. The one who stood by me and my family over past 20 years. He's such a fatherly figure to me.

So, I was crying like crazy in the dream. The last time I cried so hard was when my grandma passed away. So this feeling was friggin' real. I struggled to wake up from it but I couldn't. Trapped in the nightmare for heck of a 30mins! Finally, I awoke from the dream. I kept telling myself that it wasn't real. Made a call to make sure he's safe and sound. I felt so relieved after that but I was still in a state of "trauma". Friggin' stoned.

It dawned on me and it was a realisation that I love my family so so much and I can't even imagine living without them. I really pray that everyone will live a long healthy life. To end this entry, here's a pic of my beloved fatherly uncle and myself, taken when I was 1 year old.



Although you won't be reading this..

I love you, Uncle. :)

Good night world.

Been a week since I've blogged..

Stress level has gone down significantly. BUT, it's gonna be on the rise from Monday onwards. Start of the next module which is Marketing, friends who have cleared this module before told me to be very very motivated and aggressive in tackling the presentation and exam. And so, I pray to be mentally sound through this coming month. May the force be with me. :)

Anyways, past Tuesday's presentation wasn't quite what I expected. Disappointed but I kept telling myself that what's done is done, focusing on the final exam for Hotel Operations on Friday instead. Practicals, assessments, presentation and theory exam all done and it's all left to God. I pray that my hopes of getting scoring another A is not dashed. I'm still worried but what can worrying do? Just gonna look forward from now on.



SO! As a form of "celebration", I watched SATC2 with Eleanor, Arwin and his girlfriend, Nat, after exam on Friday. Not being a total fan of SATC, I did watch SATC1 and quite enjoyed it actually, which explains why I asked if they were interested in watching too. Interesting show, nonetheless. Dinner with the 3 of them at Pastamania was cool too. Was kinda worried that conversations might turn out awkward but it was cool. I guess all 4 of us did enjoy the evening out together. Perhaps more to come? We'll see.. :)

And I just realised, no friggin' pictures were taken at all through the evening. What the deuce?

Just this morning, I watched Prince of Persia at Jurong Point with Eleanor. That makes 2 movies in less than 24hours. The show was awesome. CG effects, plot, action scenes. That wasn't all though. I was kept occupied thinking of the word, Destiny. Big word, I'd say. But what did it mean to me? I think destiny consists of the past, present and of course the future. The past that has determined my present, and the present that will create my future. And this future holds my destiny. I can't wait to see what is God has in store for me.

^{1 Cor 2:9}

However, as it is written:
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him"

That's about it. I should be off to bed now. Be back again soon, hopefully.

Good night.

p.s: entry ended at 2.27 am.

Immortal Beloved.

I've read this analogy before and I came across it awhile ago and thought I'll share it so it can be a reminder in the future for myself too, in case I forget.

A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked ‘How heavy is this glass of water?’

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, ‘The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it.

If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem.
If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance.

In each case, it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. That’s the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won’t be able to carry on.’

As with the glass of water, you have to put it down your burdens for a while and rest before holding it again. When you’re refreshed, you can carry on.’

So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down! Don’t carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you’re carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Put down anything that may be a burden to you right now. Don’t pick it up again until after you’ve rested a while.

I thought this a very good analogy. People get stressed about work, about relationships and honestly, many itty bitty petty things. Best to put them down(or give them to God if you believe in Him). Don’t pick everything up after you’ve rested. Maybe you’ll realise after putting it down, that it’s not worth carrying.

Revelation, anyone? :)

It's been a mentally draining week for me. Getting all stressed up about the Housekeeping practicals and assessment, upcoming presentation and the report submission. I can't help but feel that I didn't give my 100% to this module this time. Not to mention, final exam this coming week too. Argh!

Or perhaps this module's arrangement of lessons is really screwed up. There isn't a proper flow and everything's all over the place. Or perhaps, I should examine myself and stop finding excuses. Yea, it's rather easy to blame it on situations/circumstances in life but when will we ever look at ourselves as a start to solve a problem?

So I'm gonna remind myself for this coming week to stay motivated. Nobody will ask if I'm motivated and offer encouragement to me. Like a fire needs fuel to burn on, I gotta feed myself with 'fuel' to burn on and not burn out.

Gonna harvest another A for this module. I believe in the power of confession! :)

On a lighter note, I'm glad that this module is over in 1 week time. In my last post, I was saying that I wanna learn more about photography. Just this past Saturday, I managed to borrow Kenneth's spare DSLR to start experimenting when I get the time. He was steadfast in agreeing to lend me the camera and big thanks to you bro. I'm not sure if you'll be reading this post anytime soon but, thanks for the opportunity. I won't forget that 1 condition. :)

Debbie is back from Melbourne last week too. Time to hear some hyena-like laughter. Catch up soon once I'm more freed up?

Aight, I'll head back to do my report again.

That's all for now, folks. :)
