When I decided that I was going to work in a hotel some 16 years ago, I knew the hours would be long and crazy. At that time I thought that only the operations people would be doing these long crazy hours but I realized very quickly that there is no such thing as 9 to 5.
If I knock off at 5:30 pm at any one day, there are questions like "Wah, going back early ah?" I am not going back early, I am going back on time. Most days we are here until pass 7 pm. When we are in managerial positions, it is expected that we walk the floors and look out for defects or anything that could cause inconvenience to guests.
Doing 12 hour shift daily can be stressful but this is the path that I have chosen and I would not trade it in for another job. I love the environment. I love the food. I love the people. I love the challenges. I love the entertainment. I love the crazy hours.
Some may think that it is glamorous, but it is far from that. We have to work real hard to ensure that we look glamorous for the guests. Wahtever it is, it is enjoyable and rewarding. The choices we make are ours and ours alone. No one should influence us...that's life!

Flood
The way the rain was pouring yesterday, we were sure we were going to be hit with another flood. Our hotel is always hit, sometimes just 6 inches, sometimes a foot, highest ever was 5 feet 8 inches and yesterday at 5 feet.
The water yesterday however was strong and even broke the glass door leading to our cafeteria. The double door fridge also fell. We knew we had to vacate the basement real quick as the water was rising fast.
We waited more than an hour before the water resided and continued with cleaning the place up. I am grateful that the spirit of care and share were strong among our staff who all pitched in and cleaned up the hotel's basement and all affected areas.
Of course damage is done but that will not deter us and we will work harder despite these obstacles.
Like always said....life is not a bed of roses, there are bound to be thorns there...that's life

Expensive Groceries
Today there was an article about inflation in the papers....boy do I agree! I went shopping for groceries over the weekend and had a fairly short list, however the bill came up to almost RM300 and this will last us a family of three plus the maid another two weeks...I did not buy anything extraordinary, just stuff that we eat everyday, but of course a big portion of the bill went to my one year old, baby stuff are expensive but I guess it is a good sacrifice...
I work in a hotel and my meals are taken care by the hotel, I understand that eating out even at the mamak can be an expensive affair. If you do not have at least RM5 in your pocket, do not even bother going out. The term economy rice is no longer economical but at least cheaper than everything else...depending on what you take though!
Somebody I met last week told to me to put aside daily the money that should have been spent for my lunch since my lunch is provided for and use that money to buy something nice for myself...I have yet to do that. I guess I have just taken for granted that my meals are taken care.
I think I have to make an effort to save more now while I can, my child's education is not going to be something cheap and I have to start preparing for that now...I am glad that I have some endowment policies that are maturing soon and that will help me pay for our house thus reducing the re-payment period...
Things are getting expensive and we have to live with it, I guess we have to be smart shoppers...that's for another topic!
But until then, that's life!

Forged Medical Chits
Today I found out that my staff has forged his medical certificate (MC). He has carefully duplicated the clinic's MC and submitted it to us. We flagged his file because for the 3 months that he has worked here, he has got 7 MCs, which is a lot by our standard.
So we played CSI and studied the MC and called the clinic to verify after which we found out that he never visited the clinic on the said date. BINGO! We nailed him.
Why oh why do they do this? Is it so difficult to come to work? Maybe it is! I know we have our bad days and we really do not want to go to work but this is the job that pays our bills and puts food on the table. This is the job that takes care of us when we are really sick. This is the job that helps us in our growth. I guess it is just harder for some to come to work and give their commitment than others. I guess that's life!

Homeless
Today while waiting for the bus to get to work I saw a homeless guy sleeping at the bus stop, dirty he was but was oblivious to his surrounding...all of us just looked and went on with our lives...
As the bus passed another bus stop, there was another guy sleeping at the bus stop, this being close to 8 am...and at the LRT station near my office, there was one asleep on the escalator that does not work...
3 homeless people, this is a developing nation and we can't do anything for these people or is it by choice that they sleep at the bus stops?? There are suppose to be enforcement officers to look into matters like this...and I sure hope they do..
Today with so much going on around us, we wonder for our safety and our children's safety...as much as we want to help, we are worried...
What are we to do..?

It's a Mad World
Last week I had to go to KL General Hospital to visit a staff of mine. The story was he got attacked by two guys with parang. He and another friend of his was having supper and they were approached by these two guys and ask them for money. My staff said that he had little and they caught him by his neck and took the parang out and started attacking them. His friend managed to run but he did not and had some gash on his face.
He was lucky though that it could all be fixed with stitches and when I saw him he was in high spirits. I dread to think what would have happened if he were hurt more than that or even killed during this attack. He is young with a bright future ahead of him and has a lot to look forward too...
Everyday we read about things like this in the local papers and it is getting very scary. Everyday you wonder if someone is just behind you ready to attack you.
We worry about the welfare of our children and if they are safe as they go to and from school. I feel sad for the parents who lose their children in such brutal attacks, how do we go on living?
What are these attackers thinking when they do such things? Do they not think of their family members and how they would feel? Do they not feel any remorse? Do they not feel anything??? Our once safe country and now beginning to become as unsafe as many other countries in the world. This is obviously the price we pay for modernization...at one point we need to move forward but at what expense..?
This is indeed very sad...

A Good Life..
My father-in-law called this morning to inform me that my husband's grandma is clinically dead. She was admitted a week ago when she collapsed and went into a coma...the doctor's did not give much hope and ask the family to decide what we should do, however,she seemed to have gotten better and though her eyes were closed, she responded by moving her mouth and hands as well and she always looked like she was asleep.
I think today they will decide to take her off the machines that are keeping her alive as there is no more brain activity. When she collapsed last week, the first thing she said was "Keep the chili, I will come back and make the sambal belacan"...how typical of her...
Today however I think she will join her maker and be at peace..she will be born to eternal life...
Her life is good and with 6 children, 13 grandchildren, 4 great grand daughters and many nephew and nieces and a host of other relatives, she has indeed been an inspiration to all ... will write more later about her and life in general...

Time Management
This morning I had to wait for my staff...why? Because they were late. They were suppose to be in at 9 am for a training but did not show up on time. In my earlier post, I asked if we are a rude lot and now I am accepting it even more that yes we are rude.
We do not care about how others would feel if we were late. In fact we are always running late and so much so we have something called "Malaysian Time" which we are oh so proud of...
We are a rude lot as we do not practice time management.
I take the time very seriously and I would feel bad if I had to make people wait and would make sure that it does not happen often...I do not say that I perfect but at least I try...some of us don't even try..this is really sad....
I think my blog will be full of instances where we are rude and inconsiderate...
...and how are we suppose to become a developed nation if we can't even tell time correctly..

Are We Rude?
Sometime last week there was a survey done and it turns out that Kuala Lumpur is the third rudest city in the world...sometimes I wonder if we should agree with this or disagree.
There are many comments that has been made about this and I think I should just quietly give my two sen worth here.
I know that most city folks are inconsiderate and self centered. If you take the train in like me during rush hour you will know how packed the traines can be and all of us just want to get to work! However, even when the train is to the brim, at the door that is, you can still see some good standing room inside but people just refuse to move in further...look at the Japanese, if you take their train during rush hour, everyone is standing almost skin to skin but in our train there are people who can actually read newspaper inside the train while standing and not care about the rest..
The same when we drive, we are not considerate...if we allow others to overtake or if we give way, it is a sign of weakness.....what rubbish!
We are no longer warm, we are self centered! We think only for our selves and we are so caught up in the rat race to get ahead...so sad that the citizen of this country has come to this...
But I guess that's life in the big city....still no excuse to just accept it, we have to be the one to make the difference and teach our children the same..
When will we start greeting bus drivers or when will the supermarket cashiers say thank you when we check out, or when will we stop thinking that we have to get ahead of everybody else? We are a developing country and we have much to offer but at what cost?
Lets make a difference!

I Miss Her
Yesterday I met my ex-boss for lunch, when I saw her and gave her a hug, I was close to tears! I couldn't believe it but I miss her so much! I knew I would miss her but did not think that I could feel this way...
This is the person who unselfishly shared her knowledge with me and took me under her wings, having the faith in me and allowing me to fly when I was ready..what is there not to love? She is caring, has a great sense of humour, motherly (has four children herself) and best of all, enjoys good food just like me...ha ha ha
I just wish that someday there will be someone who will look up to me as I look up to her, that is a sign of having been a good leader...

My Hometown...
I went back to my hometown recently and spent 5 days of doing nothing but eat, eat and eat. I have always been very proud of the food that is available in my humble Batu Pahat...maybe not so humble anymore but still as charming..
My sister (who lives in Germany), my cousin and I had actually planned a eating travel path for our time back home. Though we have been in KL for a long time and love the food here but nothing like the taste of Batu Pahat.
We started with Glutton Square...as the name says...its for gluttons like us! Had O-Chien (fried oysters with yam and flour with egg mixed in...),yummmyyyyy, fried carrot cake , fried lobak, grilled stingray with sambal, pork satay....wah I tell you it was the bomb! Washed it all down with fruit juice, must still have something healthy....ha ha ha
The next day we had the best wantan mee in the country, so claimed by everybody from Batu Pahat...located in Jalan Jenang (I think)...wah so shiok one! We also had kampung chicken cooked in herbs for dinner...somewhat like confinement food...memories.....
We took it easy the next day with bubur ayam...also I must say, delicious and what did we have for breakfast, apart from home made bread, we had lontong! The lontong in Johor is served with sambal kacang, mmmmm....so nice...
In between we had snacks! Fried goreng pisang and in Johor, it is served with kicap chilli padi, the sweetness from the banana blends so well with the spicy of the chilli padi...explodes in you mouth! Also had apam balik and cream puff from Kim Leng, again the best cream puff inthe country...so delicious.
And to make sure that I bring the taste of Batu Pahat home, I even packed Nasi Briyani...RM4.50 only per pack but so , so sedap (delicious)
If you can see from my writing, I am all mixed up because my mind wants to share all these great food with you.
Until the next great Batu Pahat food adventure!

Moving...
up....that is! My GM gave me the position and I didn't have to wait for 6 months like what he had said earlier...I guess he feels I can do the job...feels scary now that I have the position but I think I will get all the right support that I need from people who I know I can depend on...
At the moment we are suppose to be doing the handover but we have taken a break....boy I am going miss my current boss but there is no goodbye as far as we are concerned, being in the same field, we will definitely be in touch....this is one tough act to follow but I guess sometimes, we have to have our own acts as well huh??
will write some more later....

Mixed Feelings..
Recently I was offered a job in a hotel that is going to open sometime in July...extra money but same position..also it is part of a international chain..grabbed the offer and after that had an after thought..
I had always wanted to go into Human Resources and if I stay with my current hotel, I may just get that opportunity but have to wait it out a little...if I go, I get to work with a boss whom I totally admire and love, in fact I took the offer at the other place because of her, knowing that I would be soooo comfortable working with her but I decided to stay...
I know my current place had its challenges, having been in operation for over 10 years, there are set ways of doing things and going to a new place would give me a chance to start all a new but I have decided to stay...why, for a simple reason that if I go I may have to put off having another child for a year until the place is more stable...I don't think I can go and get pregnant while everyone is still busy with a new hotel...sound wierd, well...
I am not young and may want to have a sibling for my daughter, if it happens it happens, at least I know that with my current place, should I be blessed with another pregnancy, I will not feel guilty...I guess I would like to put my family over my career...and I think I have done the right thing...just that I feel I have let my current boss who may have been my future boss down (she starts there in June)....we are such good friends and complement each other well...I hope one day I will get the opportunity to work with her again...thank you YSH...if you read this, you know who you are and you understand why I did what I did...

First Birthday
We celebrated my daughter's first birthday last week and the hardest decision was what cake we should get...went to Secret Recipe and had all these wonderful cakes laid out before us..I asked the manager who was so helpful on each and every type and he explained patiently..
I told him he should have a free sample ala Baskin Robbins but he just smiled, another way of saying no I guess...I told hubby, it's her first birthday and she is not going to have any bake so we should get a cake that we will enjoy...he was quite easy about it so I made my choice...Walnut Mocha Cake...what a choice...lovely lovely cake...
Every bite was a mouthful of walnuts and the walnuts were not bitter but quite good actually...and the mocha cream was not overwhelming...just right I must say...I guess as my daughter grows, we will have a cake of her choice but till then it is an excuse for us to have cake...and eat it too!

Friday Evening
It is Friday evening and I really should be home at this time...I think there is a conspiracy, ever noticed how it always starts raining at 5:30 pm when we want to leave...so just stay in the office la..
Today the rain continues...with thunder some more...so much for going home early...so what do I do? Enough of work, its never finished anyway, so lets Blog...I think this can get addictive...
Friday evening in the city is already bad, couple that with rain, you can imagine, lucky I take the train in, my husband and I leave the car at a train station just outside the city so we can escape the traffic...all those people who want to get INTO town to party when we want to get OUT of town...irony...
If I go walking around the hotel, I am bound to bump into some one I know and that will delay my departure even more...looks like it is starting to get into a drizzle, maybe I can get to the train station, lucky there are spare umbrella, gotta go...

Hotel Food
One of the comments I always get when I tell people that I work in a hotel is "Oh, you can eat all that nice food la"....well, we can if we wanted to but it is not always free....but that is not the issue...
How much hotel food can one eat? My favourite in the hotel is our cafeteria food...simple and good! Like today, we had grilled chicken chop, creamy mash potatoes and ceaser salad (my favourite)...and some nice banana to wash it all down......
Sometimes we have simple curry or just stir fried vege and steaming rice, quite delicious!
The maids will usually tell us, give us simple vege, hot hot rice and fried chicken with chili padi and we are set! Ah the simple pleasures....

Incomplete..
Yesterday I spoke about how I had difficulty crossing the road thanks to our friendly traffic policemen....today, I will speak about incomplete projects...
My walk from the train station requires me to cross this busy road (before reaching the intersection that is)..thank God the authorities has put a pedestrian bridge with an escalator...whoo hoo! An escalator, isn't that thoughtful but lo and behold the expensive escalator cannot be used as it never came into life....so everyone has to walk up the stairs....how is that? Plan an escalator but don't complete it, who suffers...? Again, the very people who needs to cross the roads...and what about those old poeple who cannot walk up the stairs...what happens to them? Sad...so sad inded...

Traffic Policemen
Most days when I take the train in, I have to walk a good 7 minutes to get to my office but this 7 minutes sometimes becomes 17 minutes, thanks to our traffic policemen.
True to their name, they only take care of traffic and not pedestrians...like me and a lot others...when they are on duty at intersections, traffic lights become obselete and so does the green and red man. The traffic policemen do not care about pedestrians but will allow cars and other vehovles to go even when the green man comes on making it ver hard for the pedestrian...like me...so what do we do? We dash across the road when there is a chance or dart between the cars when traffic slows down...putting our lives a risk...to think that the policemen are suppose to place the citizens out of danger NOT put them in danger! I guess that's life in the big, bad,city....

My First Blog
I have always wanted to do something that involved writing but never did indulge in it seriously but with a blog I guess I can just write away...
This being my first blog, I guess I will keep in simple and sweet....everyone in my office is out for lunch and I usually am done with lunch within 20 minutes and back to my desk to do whatever I have to do...but today I will blog....hmmm...I like the sound of that I will blog...
Someone told me once, why would someone want to blog and let the whole world read but hey I guess it would a great place for opinions as well...right?
Lets publish this and see what happens...real amatuer huh?
