I've found myself a job at the Shangri-La Hotel 0.0


Went for job hunting yesterday and the 1st hotel i went to try my luck at was Shangri-La. And i'm employed as soon as the interview ended! No going home to wait for call no nothing=)


Man, initially i thought things wouldn't be as smooth as it seems to be since it's a 5 star hotel and they might not want to employ me as i have no relative experience in hospitality. Hence, i spent a freaking amount of $2.50 to print 5 resumes as i thought that i would need to try my luck at some other hotels too before being employed. Tsk tsk, i can buy a bowl of fishball noodles with that $2.50 zzZ


Yea, and during the interview i was told to put thicker makeup and red lipstick. As in, RED. Geez, that's going to be so wayang. And the thing i love about working there is their vavavoom uniform 0.0


Started working today. My various managers and colleagues are nice to me=) The most busy period was the cocktail hour, wereby a lot of guests, but not a lot exactly too, will flock in. Job was easy but tired for me especially when i'm wearing new shoes as they bite. So much so that i took them off my feet and walked bare footed to bus stop after i've knocked off for the day.


Wine is served during the cocktail hour for everyday if i'm not wrong. Omg, wine. I could smell its aroma from far. Super tempted. But hard liquor would be even better in my opinion=)


Wasteful. All leftover food will go straight to the dustbin. And i felt so sinful when i was pouring the whole bowl of salad into the dustbin. Food served in the canteen was great! It's totally like a buffet. Rice, meat, vegetables, french fries, soup, a wide variety of fruits, free flow of the various soft drinks, ice cream and more. If only alcoholic drinks are being served too.. Haha, kidding. Woah, good life there indeed.


And the most rewarding thing of the day was meeting up with my boyfriend after work=)
