Off Day

I was actually planning to go kayaking with Marvin today morning. A call from the HR Department. Sigh. I had to go back to office and change something in the newsletter that i was in charged to write and some of the stuff. I missed my kayak trip. No one else could help Rhoda with things because all trainee were off today. The new staff...no comment. Just have to give him sometime to get use to things.

Off to Dhigu

I just came back from an diving excursion. Nope. I didn't go for the dive. Only 5 of them Ray, Denise, Tjay, S.Sien and Daphne went for the dive. They saw Manta Ray! I was enjoying the sun on top of the boat together with Marvin and Jovin. We took lots of nice shot! Happy.

Now i have to go meeting...Adios...

Final Week In Maldives

Half way watching the cricket match between Sri Lanka & Bangladesh team, i excused myself. As i walk back,i have this feeling deep down inside that i couldn't describe it. The feeling of excitement but sad. It was all because of one reason. I am leaving Maldives next Monday!Will i ever come back again? I hope i will.

Back to my room. Striped. Turn it on. Shower. In a hot, steamy shower, i just let the water flows. I just relax and just release a deep sigh. It was a perfect bathe after a long day. Never felt this feeling for so long. Everyday has been like a rush for me. Well...not really a rush, but i will have things to do after another.

Its has always been the case in every training. The feeling of 'missing' 'heavy hearted' to leave the place and the people. We have been treated really well. No ill treatment from the people except some irritating scenarios that we have gone through. Overall, I personally love it here. Great place to have my training. Not a bad place to work too. I am sure there are more improvement coming along as this young resort grow.

I can say that this is one of the training that i enjoy most. I can only smile when i come to think about it. =)

Countdown

Hoollaaaa...

9 more days and i will be back to Malaysia. I can't wait to be back home stepping on the soil of my home land. There is an incident today which really makes me wanna get off from this place but i told myself to spend my last 10 days with satisfaction, fun and full with enjoyment, so i will not disappoint myself.Anyways, I have updated my pictures all in my facebook. So do feel free to drop by and view the albums.

This week is gonna be good as the sun shines back after 2 weeks of stormy gloomy days. The rain really freaks me out, and i totally dislike it when it rains. I prefer the hot sunny bright sun that directs the UVs and the windy breeze that touches the skins so smoothly.

Sorry for not updating so often. Busy busy as i am in the HR department. There is a lot of event to run that comes along with the preparation and all other things. Moreover, i will still have to help out with my executive and my director with all the work in the office. Director from the main company, Minor International came over to run things, so he expect things to be perfect. There is a lot of stress placed on to HR department as we are the main department to run things around for and with people.

Wish me and my team the very best =)
Will update more soon.

Greetings from the Maldives!

The beautiful sun shines says hello and the water of the seas welcomes you.
Today is 31st Oct 2009! Tomorrow is gonna be a new day, a new month
I wish all to have a great day ahead. November here we come!

Today morning i head to Male city to have a walk. The city is so small and so boring. I really wonders how the people can live in there. No malls, no cinema, no entertainments. I cannot imagine me living here.

23 more days and i will be back to Malaysia! I can't wait. As much as i enjoy my training here, but there is no better place to be than being at home.

I also want to make a shoutout in advance to my dearest best friend, Mei Yoon

Happy 20th Birthday on 3rd November!

I wish you the very best in your life! Continue to have a strong faith as He guide you through life and am sure that His blessing will never fails to shower upon you. I am glad to have you in my life! I am greatful for this 7 Years of friendship. Love you Girl!

One more month to go!!!

Greeting from Maldives, due to the sucky connection and the laziness of me. I will not be updating my blog that often. Just for your information ( for whoever that reads my blog)

The Atolls

9th October 09

Today i changed position from Guest Relation Officer in front office to Guest Service Agent in Guest Service Centre (GSC). Basically all calls from anywhere will channeled through GSC. The phone calls that comes never fail to ring. Busy but yet boring sometimes when all things are done. In there, the people are more cheerful and funny. Things are more flexible as all tasks are done back office. The only problem in this GSC is just not enough manning. Learned a few new things. At least it is fruitful.

10th October 09

Its my off day today. I went Male with Daphne. Like a tourist (well, we are the tourist, duh...) blur and curious we painted the town red. Male is so small that within an hour plus, we have already walked from one corner to another corner. The traffic there is...speechless...but at least there is traffic lights and bumps to slow down all the cars. All the taxis in the city is either Mazda or Nissan. I saw RX8, Benz, Swift and all nice car there. The road are so small there, it's such a was to have those car there to run 30-50kph. *better give it to me* *evil laugh*

In the noon around 4, Denise, Daphne & Me went for Dolphin Quest. I saw dolphins!!! So happy...after the excursion we then dropped off at Veli Island and took some nice shots and head back for dinner.

A day full with surprise and fun. At least i didn't waste my day off.

Wake up call...call me in the morning and i couldn't wake up...

Didn't wake up for breakfast today because was really tired. Woke up at 1130am. Wash up and then clean the room filled with hairs! Tak boleh tahan. Must sweep it like almost everyday! Came online while waiting for the time to turn 1pm and Sin Sien to come down for lunch so that we can eat together.

Later at 315pm we will have a meeting with Mr.Bernard. Don't know regarding what.

After meeting - interesting meeting where we need to do a report on the resort on what experiences we experienced and what should be improve. He was so impress that out of 1 week we could find so many 'not so good' areas of the management and resort. We felt like we were like spies. Another assignment to do and all the report will be presented to all the managers. Kan Cheong!!!

After the long meeting, i went for work. Oh my gosh!!! The time past so freaking slow! There is no guest and it's not busy and very little arrivals and all the things is already done. Yawn & yawn & yawn...that will be me...yawning non-stop... xD

The wind blew strongly and firmly these very night. It gives me shivers as i pass through the wilderness. The moon shines so brightly that it gave a reflects of shades to the objects on the sea. Marvelous. The night is simply beautiful, calm and serene.Good Night

1st October 2009

Shift at 5pm till 2am. Tired. Nothing much happened today. Just this short update for the day. FO was quite busy with all departures and arrivals. The big boss came today. Din't get to see him. He came in private jet that totally causes global warming but the pilots are so cool. When can i be like them? Will i? Can i? worse come to worst, i be the air stewardess lo. She got an upgrade to the exclusive resort in Naladhu and not the pilots. Kesian the Pilots and lucky the air stewardess. The jet sea plane was so awesome...*drools*

2nd October 2009

Happy Birthday Denise! You are now officially 20 years OLD! How does it feels to be one year OLDER? hahaha..I just want to wish you the best in everything in life! Love You a lot!!! Hugs!!

Today shift will be at 5pm till 2am again. Must sit a small speed boat back to the staff quarter. Love it because it is freaky dark and dangerous...hahaha...

Just now in the afternoon, Theresia and Ray finally got to touch the water. The oily water because they swam near the port. They swam till the pineapple island, just opposite the marina. They love that island sand as it was really soft like vanilla according to Ray. I didn't join cause i was to tired to swim. Now seriously. I wan to get back to sleep. ahhahaa.. Au voir!

Shift started at 5pm and will end at 2am. China guest is getting more and more each day. Have to speak mandarin to them as they do not understand really well. This really is testing my Mandarin vocabulary.

2 China guest today came to the front desk and want a immediate check out and ask us to change the air ticket dates as well. So Mah Fan! Thank God everything get to be done before the boat leaves and Changi Airport Reservation Department gave a comfirmation fast.

The moon took me away by its beauty...The moon tonight was so beautiful because it has a outer ring surrounding it. It was my first time seeing it. So beautiful! Loving the moon and the Stars. Oh did i tell you that i saw a meteor shoots right in front of my eyes that day. So awesome! =)

Finish my work early. I missed Denise's birthday celebration but i wished her. I hope she don't mind receiving her birthday gift late as i couldn't get anything here in Maldives for her.

Till now...

Maldives Life

29th September 2009

Today i did PM shift. PM shift is from 3pm to 12am. I am in Front Office also know as the Guest Relation Officer (GRO) Learned a lot of things from the people there especially Raja & Shahaz. No so much from my manager maybe because she is busy but i

still think that she could at least spend a little time explaining things when i ask. Kin my FO Manager is a Malaysian Chinese by the way that has been working overseas for many many years. Time passes quite fast today as i have many things to do in hand. Occupancy of the resort will slowly drop because it is peak season. This is because all promotion will soon stop and the tariff will increase. Many tourist will go to other resort rather than Anantara because of this. Therefore occupancy of the resort will drop. Anantara actually should continue on with their promotion so that they could at least get a higher occupancy percentage and at least can get more revenue.

Tired as always. Reached room at 1am, bathed and fast asleep.

30th September 2009

Happy Birthday Jan See Chen Ho. Today is your birthday! I wish you the very best in everything you do especially in your career now and in the future. =)

Today i started my day with a beautiful breakfast with my fellow friends. This is the only time that i can get update from them about their training and the problem as well as their experience. It is interesting for some of us, as some of them are ill treated by some staff. The people who works here, locally and non-local, low post and higher post, some of them are knowledge selfish. Oh well, maybe that i could try to get use to it but ill treatment from other staff to my friends is unacceptable. Thank God they told Mr.Bernard about what happened. I hope actions will be taken in the future. There is so many things in the management that make us regret coming here for training. I told myself " No matter how nice and how 5 Star the place is, working and having a holiday is different. No matter how good the company is, surely there is flaws." This at least can change my perception about working life and motivates me to know more about the management so that i could brain storm a project for my TIS on how things should improve.

Later i am having GRO-PM shift again and the next coming day it will be Night shift which is from 12 am till 7am. This is really interesting yea...*Tired* Hope i get to learn more things today. I uploaded pictures in FB. So, feel free to check it out.

Work today was quite good. Get to interact with some of the guest and they are China Chinese people. Imagine me speaking mandarin to them. LOL. I have to speak mandarin to them as they find it hard to understand English. I guess my Mandarin will surely improve by the time i finish my training. =)

Tsunami scares me...seriously...when i read about the news about Tsunami strikes in America Samoa, i was alert about it. Till yesterday, the thought of tsunami really freaks me out as Padang has a massive earthquake that also affected Malaysia. Here is Maldives, we got an Tsunami alert from the department. Was praying that it is just an alert. Thank God nothing happened. The place Anantara is located has been washed with the previous Tsunami before, so now you tell me is it necessary to be alert of it? Surely it is. One of the guest in the over water bungalow actually called in and told that they felt the earthquake. That was before we got the tsunami alert. Scary yea...Pray that nothing will happen. Today i learned a few essential procedures. Happy with the knowledge. Hope to learn more as days comes.Shift ended at midnight and here i am again updating my blog. Tired...Good night everyone...
