left, right, everyone is talking about the games.
& guess what... my little tv in my room shows more "ants print" than i can see half naked men in their tiny swimming trunk jumping into the swimming pool...
I miss those men..
erm... i mean those games...

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 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...
