i have sorted out my objectives for my internship period. i'm going to be a sponge at 4 seasons. i'll learn as much as i can and when i leave, i'm not going to leave behind a vacancy, i'll leave behind a legacy.

phew...after today, much work would have been dissolved, no more worries about them... haven't been really reflect on what has been going this few days as i've been caught up in hustle and bustle of school life. Accepted Four Seasons internship offer last week and had to reject Sheraton Towers's one. kinda feel bad cos the HR manager put lots of faith in me and i decided to join the other hotel. will sign my contract tomorrow with four seasons and hopefully if time permits, gonna make my way down to Sheraton to thank the manager for her time. Sometimes i keep questioning why i make this decision cos at 4 seasons i'm not going to be concierge for the full 6 months instead i'm going on a departments rotation system; to make things even worse, i only want to be a concierge for my internship. Why? izzit becos of prestige? partly i guess since its more exclusive to get into 4 seasons. However i guess its due to the work culture at 4 seasons. Realise people over there are much more friendly and warm and the staff are much more empowered. they take staff welfare into high regards and they got a really nice back of the house compared to other rugged ones at other hotels. Gonna look forward to my internship stinst in this prestigious hotel. though expectation are high, but i'm sure i live up to it. Finally i have took the 1st step of stepping into the industry and i'm gonna make a "boom boom" in the hotel. watch out~

walking down orchard road and esplanade with my executive suit yesterday feels very different from the previous times i wore it. i felt empowered and as though i have the world in my hands. everything suddenly feels like going so well for me. Went for interview at 4 seasons, fullerton n marriot and everything seems to fall right in place. I feel like i have everything i wanted. family, love, carreer(though its juz an internship), my scouts, life! i have lived life to the fullest, i have no regrets even if i just drop dead the next moment. (touch wood) 4 seasons called today. i'm through to the next rounds of interview. gonna meet the directors of HR & Rooms division. Gonna charm their pants off tomorrow. gonna kick some ass tomorrow!

yesterday was boom boom great!!! went for my attachment interview at sheraton towers and it was a "top of the world" feeling after i step out of the HR office. They are willing to groom me to be their concierge and be under the guidance of one of the best conceirges in singapore. Am really excited about this prospect but decided to keep myself level-headed. The nice manager is willing to give me allowance time and let me go for other hotel's interviews before i make my final decision. think its gonna take something really big to prise me away from Sheraton. Am looking forward to this thursday interview with Fullerton but i'm really waiting for Four Seasons to call me up for interview. Anyway will take a step at a time. While in the bus back home, i come to realise what have been happening around and get to understand the concept of marketing. Realise i have been undifferentiated marketing currently in my life. I am focusing on too much stuff right now and it makes me loses my direction. I can't show full committement to 1 or 2 single thing and develop it.. I couldn't bear to let go with committement. I know the day will come for me to make the decision but this is not the day. I'm gonna keep trying to make it work out even at the expense of my own enjoyment cos its me who get myself into so much shit so its gonna be one to slowly get out of it or drown in that pool of shit. Hope someone can show me the light...

it rained today...am in the school com lab now doing my incentive travel project with QQ. Reminiscing about what happened lately.. Its the Student internship placement period for our cohort.. the dark side of Human Nature could be seen over here. Almost everyone are anxious of their place at the company they are applying and worried that someone better might overtook their place as some companies have limited places. From all this rat race, could see the selfish nature of human. Humans are selfish by nature. This reinforced my perception of its a "dog eat dog, survival of the fittest" mentality going on in the society. however i'm still gonna stick to my principle of treating people nice even they treated u badly cos the best way to destroy an enemy is to befriend it.
