leaving...

It's soo hard to leave a job that you actually enjoy doing it...

Goodbye is so hard... especially when you just starts to get comfortable with everyone...

I can't help but feeling doubtful & scared of the new place that we'll be going soon...

my daily views

the views I normally see when I go to work or go back home:

View in the summer


View in the autumn. Notice the tree botak liaw.. hehe

my hair

my hair now looks just like this:



just like the tree branches in autumn: dry, split-end & brittle :(

choices

to say "I'm not doing well here, let's go back" or "I'm doing well here, I don't want to go back" is just too cruel...

to wait is a torture...

to choose is a torture too...

Money or God? Stability or dreams chasing?

To say "of course I'll choose this" is easy... but when it happens, will you still stay true to your word?

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil 1Timothy 6:10

lies

I don't like it when my job requires me to lie... I'm terrible at lying and I don't like to.. I don't think anyone likes it...

I understand that for business to work & prosper, sometimes we need to use lots of colorful words to lure the customer to buy our product... but to the extend of lying and trying to hard-sell something that don't exist... I think it's not fair for them...

What happen to honesty? trust? Integrity?

fire alarm

No word can describe how shocked I was this morning when I was awoken by the fire alarm in the hotel at 4am in the morning.
Even right now, the thought of how the alarm sounds frighten me..

Being the only person in charge at night & looking after the wellfare of 22 guests is not easy at all.. Worst when you are not trained about the fire procedures.

But I did my best to solve it and used the best of my brain to think logical solution at 4am in the morning.

The owner is not happy at all.
Some guests are not happy and upset at how I handle the situation.
They complaint and most probably going to take it up to the Health & safety or Fire dept.
:(

I need something to calm me down... :(

But for all of you, let this be a lesson as well... If you are put in charge of something or travelling, find out about the fire procedure or any emergency procedures... don't be a blur cow like me..

Lesson learnt hard & well...

bonfire night

Tonight is Bonfire night and also happen to be my brother's birthday.

happy birthday bro... :) sent him a text.. but i think Malaysia time is already past midnite... oh well... belated birthday then..

Try to search him on facebook... turns out plenty of people with similar name... and knowing him.. i don't think he'll be posting his face on the website.. so nvm...

Anyway..

it feels like Chinese New year today with all the fireworks going on.. minus the lion dance and the 'tong tong chiang' song of course..

The bonfire night is actually to mark the failed Gunpowder plot in 1605. To find out more about the event, read this

The first year to be in a foreign country...
