Nope, he didn't get the job in Intel... In a way, he's relieved about that because he's not too keen on going back to the same job.. but he's feeling down lately...
How to console a man who is jobless & lost?

alone
I hate being alone...
being alone has killed my appetite... I've lost weight. I used to wear size 10 now it shrunk to size 8.
being alone has made me prefer to come to work then staying at home and don't know what to do
being alone means having to buy things alone and carry them all the way back home alone by foot
being alone means going out alone and it's meaningless to me...
I don't want to be alone

A prayer..
Dear Lord,
Tomorrow is his interview with Intel in Swindon. If this is Your will for him to be in that company again, then let it be done and close all other doors that he's hoping for. If it's not, show him which way to go.
You have revealed this to him today: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11"
We will wait faithfully for Your plan Lord.
Amen

who's the boss?
I can't never understand why some people are sooo soo bossy... i mean.. if you are the boss.. then fine, you are allowed to boss your employees... but now i'm talking about those working for other people and they are just a housekeeping staff...
2 of the girls that work in the hotel are like that. & they are sisters... (no wonder..)
anyway, what happen is, I'm suppose to be supervising them on their work but they turn around and said that they have work here longer and i have no rights to tell them what to do and instruct me to do some of their work...
So I had a word with my boss, just to clarify on this and she said that they are suppose to listen to my instruction and she said that most probably I'm new there so they took the opportunity to boss me around.... sorrylar... wrong person to bully...
So, she managed to talk to one of them, just to let them know who is in charge and what's their duty are. The manager speaks nicely to her, but that girl with a high and unpleasent tone told us that we are not her boss and she don't have the mood to talk to us and that we have just spoilt her day.... WTH???!!!!!! and she said tat me & my manager pakat together to bully her... hahaha... at that moment... when she said it... it was so funny that i laugh out loud...
Oh well.. good news is.. she's leaving us in 2 weeks time... what a relief... imagine have to handle her everyday... wah lau... it's either she kills me first or I'll just hang myself...
Glory to God for giving me strength to handle such people.
All the best to her future boss...

exchange
Last night was a good night. Chatted with Sun & himself makes me feel better after being bullied...
Went home to cook dinner.. so used to cook dinner with him, i accidentally cooked dinner for 2 person... opps... looks like that will be my dinner tonight again..
The landlord & his wife made Mango & Laici Crumble and gave me some... it's delicious... maybe simply because it's home prepared dessert. We managed to talk much longer this time as I don't have to rush off to work. We exchange photos and talked about food. The wonder of food.. the topic of all nation... hahaha... I told them about Sarawak Laksa & Penang Char Kuey Tiaw... wah lau... makes me lau chui nua nia...
As she's pregnant, we also talk about our wedding ceremony & maternity leave... I ask them, how long is her maternity leave. She said 9 months... 9 FREAKING MONTHS!!!!!! 9 MONTHS!!! that's enough time for me to make another baby!!! Malaysia one so pathetic... 2 months nia...
Now you know where's the best place to give birth.... 9 months... wow....

gloom...
The weather outside is gloomy.... it's raining again...
I went to a church on Sunday morning. Don't know what to expect, don't know who I will meet... at the last minute, i thought of not going because the wind is strong and rain is getting heavier.. in the end, i drag my lazy bum off the bed and went to church.
It's a small community church with only about 10 people there. They welcomed me and told me that it's an informal church. I smiled. They started on time with a prayer. During the prayer, i closed my eyes, not listening to what he's praying about, but i can feel my eyes getting moist. Odd..
what's going on? why am i crying? Is that Holy Spirit? Is it stress? Am i that tired? Am i sad? Do i miss someone that much? or Is it just the gloomy weather? I don't know... but i felt better afterward.
maybe it's homesick... maybe...

where I stay
I've shown you where i work, now it's only fair that I show you where I have been staying in the Lakes.
Pictures time! :)
this is the living room of the place that I'm staying.
This is the dining room
The kitchen
The staircase that leads to my room
My room! :)
My room from another angle
The view from my room
Nice right? I love this place.As you can see in the picture, summer time already using the thick comforter, can you imagine what's it like to be in the winter? Gosh.. i probably have to mummified myself...

God is good all the time...
... and all the time, God is Good!
Oh how i miss these phrase that the church always use...
God has been good to me, Amen!
He never fail to protect me from harm and even little things like the weather, He took care of me too. Every time, when i'm about to go home or about to go to work, He'll just stop the rain for me until i reach safely at home or at work.
I have to thank Him for this job that I'm having as well. I think He's giving me training for what I'm wishing of: running my own lodge or hotel.
Alot of times things just happen without you understanding why.
While I'm doing alright for my job now, he on the other hand seems having problem.
Sometimes, I wonder if God is training him to be patient or is preparing him for something much much better.
Darling,
be patient. I care for you but I've never been good with encouragement words.
While you are feeling lost for your career path, I feel lost too not being able to help you.
Just remember that Jesus loves you and He's always with you.
Lord,
help him. You understand him much better than I do. Help him find himself, find out what is his career path or his purpose for this life.
Amen.

business tips
I think working in different field and different company has indeed expand my thoughts about doing business.
A lot of times i think that being a business person, you need to be flexible and not obsesive about money.
the current hotel owner is not flexible at all and is absolutely obsesed about money.
1st point: cashier must have some change money in the drawer right? However, this morning, he left only less than £2 in the drawer!!!! !"$%@:* customer gave me £40 and i have to return them £10.. open drawer, only few penny left... wah lau eh.. so kiam siap lor.... so end up, i have to go and take my money and return the customer first. if I'm broke on that day.. how ler? tsk tsk tsk...
2nd point: booking system is very redundant. alot of times, mistakes can easily happen if you don't double or tripple check. This morning, i took a booking on Saturday only. he checked the booking and insist on calling the customer back to tel them to change to another room because that room is reserve for bookings for 2 nights.. wth again.... flexible a bit lar... in the end, customer say want to cancel booking.. but because of their policy, once booking is confirm, you can cancel it. kua kua kua.... pening lor....
In this situation, won't it be better to let the booking be, rather than causing customer to be upset and wanting to cancel the booking? Yes, i admit is my mistake, come on lar ok.. it's only my 2nd day working alone.
In another situation, we miss out alot of bookings, because we CAN'T do 1 night booking on weekends. I think it's a good idea to sell 2 or 3 nights on weekend, but most times, customer just don't have so much time, can't they just reserve some rooms for 1 night booking and some for 2 or 3 nights booking?
Oh well... a bit frustrated with how the system goes here... but i'm not the boss...
