only FASTER, only STRONGER

The only word I believe is STRONGER..

the task or work just gets tougher but it is also how stronger i will become..

I was just sharing with Eugene that I sort of regretted my decision for internship, well.. a little...

kind of love the feeling of being physically tired instead of mentally tired...


Love the time spent today with Eugene! I kept looking forward to it and just told myself, do my work well and I will get to enjoy my time with him

although to my horror so many things just happen due to my lack of discipline and extra effort to remember things...

I have my down moments which pulled down my performance today but well, i only believe that i will get stronger.....

Its been a long time...

It has been a long long time ever since I last blogged.

Finally, the period or trimester that I have been waiting for has arrived and I am just excited to begin my working life before going back to the intensity of my school..

well, we all want to do well dont we?
but sometimes we tend to think too lowly of ourselves and often compare with others on where we stand
we dont want to be the last, we dont want to lose but only to win but is that something we can control?
we can say yes and no. yes because we know we are perfectionists and want to do our best and put in that extra 10% even though we thought we gave that 100%
No, becos we feel that no matter what we do, at the end of the day, we are not the judge as long as we have given our best.

Tmr will be a day that I will be handling housekeeping on my own for 5 rooms. I have also been through 5 trainers and learnt alot of stuff but definitely i still feel that i have not learnt ALL of it, who doesnt?
I do not have the confidence becos I know that I learn things slow and tend to make mistakes or spend time trying to salvage things I do not get it right 100%.

My challenge of the year is: SPEED and QUALITY
I need that speed to do things fast, not in my nature cos I was born to do things slow hahaha but it definitely will make me feel that time is precious
Quality is something that housekeeping should not neglect as well.
It is an individual performance~ Different people have different strengths and weaknesses..

Treat everything that you are going through as a learning process in terms of finding out more about yourself :)

New Year Resolutions for 2017

I guess this is something interesting to share...

New Year Resolutions 2017:
1) Study Hard
- yup yup!! all for a student life, motivate self to do it!

2) Be punctual for classes
- one hour of travelling, make full use of it and not be late

3) No vulgarities
- including saying in the heart

4) Be professional and friendly
- when you realised there were disagreements in project groups but you still have to be friends, not to take work into personal life

5) Be positive
- this is very important becos it concerns firstly myself and the people around me

6) Time Management
- make time make time make time for people who love you

7) Prioritise God first
- be reminded of His blessing to give you a university to be in, complain lesser, listen more and do more! set examples of what is obeying Him like and be more forgiving hurh hurh hurh

GAMBATTE!!!

9 January 2017

Hi everyone!

first and foremost, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!

well, SCHOOL IS HECTIC AND HAPS ALL THE TIME FOR ME FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS!

and I am so proud of how well and how worth my ONE month holiday was spent! Indeed, thank you to all friends and family for accomodating to my planned out schedule and I really appreciate all of your understandings and support when I was studying :)

Now, school has reopen and there are 2 things I am looking forward to and somehow maybe not?
1) My results
- Yup, gonna get my results on the first day of sch, i dont even know if it is suppose to be an appropriate date to view your results to begin with lol

2) New motivation
- oh yes, sch life sucks to the max for me and it was a nightmare to even to go to school. I hope that I can be more positive, toned down, disciplined and be a stronger person and all to face trimester 2 and come on guys, this is only year 1! So I hope that I will break down lesser as well as be focused on what I have to do and put my heart in doing it and just pushing myself till the end of the three months? I hope I wont find it torturous even though I sort of know that it will be but BE POSITIVE girl!

So yes, and i know i have been apologising for MIAing and not taking care of my readers argh!
I dont want to overpromise when I will blog again, becos easy as it is, SCH IS HECTIC!
so yeah, just hope that we all can jiayou and end this hehehe

recently, I went for a networking session and really thank  God that it turned out well that the ambassadors of the company were eager to share with us about their various jobscope and all..
I hope that I can be as driven as them and yes although we do set expectations for ourselves whereby most of them are quite hard to meet, I hope that I can be more understanding towards what I can do and what I cant :)

so long guys, God Bless!

26 Sep 2016 - conquering my week 4 in school

School is tough!
something rare that I will start for my blog post!

Something that I lack in my studies is MOTIVATION!

and it has been a long time since I met up with Eugene, close to three weeks?

this is going to be a short post as I need to complete tons and lots of work..

I really wonder how the younger generation work in the future but oh wells, time to worry for myself to overcome it before anything else :)

JIAYOU EVERYBODY!

School Status : still coping :)

22 Sep 2016 - September is ending sooon!!

Oh no! September is ending soon and I don't know if this is considered a good thing or not. Well, I am left with exactly three more months to complete my first trimester :) Homework, tests, project work has been flooding in since week 1 and hell yeah I am still surviving :)

I want to thank God, that I am more positive now and am able to take things slightly easier (I guess can be better). The word "stress" has no time to be in my dictionary lol

Things that keep me going:
- my dance every thursday
- my friends who consistently flood me with whatsapp message
- the love from friends
- the love from family
- of cos, the love from God
- the positivity that God has given me

All of these, they comforted me so much and never fails to keep me going in times of needs.

Today is thursday and I am so excited to go for the dance, I have been looking forward to it since yesterday. I would also like to spend more time with my grandma although school seemed to be killing everyone haha (talking to her now haha)

The sad thing about studying Hospitality is when you are researching about hotels or other tourism industries that made you want to travel!

I want to go Hong Kong Disneyland!!!

I miss those times, I kept singing my songs non-stop, those times I can lie in front of the tv, miss my hours of sleeping, miss my friends, miss my freedom etc
How do I accomplish all of them during my holidays? LOL, friends be understanding okay?
School is really a killer, it was so bad to a point I have to spend my trip to school to read through my notes before class.. I have been planning out my time and wow, just being so packed hahaha, more packed than work!

Anyway, I would like to take this time to congratulate Eugene Lim for signing his contract at PSA! Yes, he is finally back! It was quite funny to think of it as he left, I left and he returns haha don't worry, I don't know if I will return as I may be working in a different field :) Jiayou and you can do it and hopefully you can adapt the environment there soon :)

Lastly, jiayou to everyone in whatever you are doing :)

18 Sep 2016 - Week 3 of school begins...

I do not know if I should feel excited or not for the third week of school.

Today, I was just sharing with my church friends about how being a student changed me in some way...

I feel so negative inside me to an extent that I will appreciate the small little things, and that was what made me so thankful :)
I guessed they felt me according to their facial expression and guess what..
the hope appeared when Yi En sat with us, she told me like she has don't know who and who who works at hotels, all together she assured me about 4 contacts and I was really like... the feeling of seeing the light of the tunnel and yes again, I AM THANKFUL!

And, Grace and I talked about predestination, chim chim and debatable topic, kind of glad there were conclusions made and we managed to catch up with one another. I guess it was a blessing in disguise that sermon ended early.

So here I am, doing research on peer-reviewed articles for one of my 1,000-word essay. Honestly, of all modules, I hate this one.. All about writing and the lecturer does not really teach well and and and IT IS NOT A CORE MODULE! So whatever! I will just do my best and jiayou guys!

Things to do:
1) Think of praise and worship songs for YZ next week
2) Revise POM notes
3) Peer-reviewed articles
4) Submit SQM and OBM by tonight

Things I miss:
1) all my friends
2) shopping
3) sleeping more
4) seafood
5) truffle fries, mac and cheese at holland
6) going on an adventure or a little bit of sports haha
7) working.... hahaha

17 Sep 2016 - What is left?

Hi all, the title has always been in my head every single minute for every single day. To be honest, there are really tons of assignments so much so I can weight them in tons! okay so not funny~

Comparing to work, each time I tick off something from the checklist I have this sense of completion and achievement, the joy that I have lesser things on hand. But for school, each time I tick off something, it is more of a sense of relief that I know that I will not have to face it again.

Frankly speaking, I was so excited to go back to school to study what I love doing and probably see myself working in such industry in the future. However, when school starts, I was just like traumatised on the very first day. I thought the first week could chill at least but I was wrong, totally wrong. I still feel that the first week from now is more chilled even though I did not chill lol...

Trimester is worse than Semester, let us all just face this. But guess what, I feel that deep down I feel negative therefore even the smallest thing that makes me happy made me appreciate things and people even more. Despite all these work, I was taught that they are not important! Jesus compared a camel going through the hole of a needle vs a man going to heaven. So what is homework and stress to me in this context? I can say that yes I am stress every single day for real and no joke because I know that once I am done with work, there are more to come and it just keeps adding non-stop until I realised I dont live the way I do last time. My time gets eaten away very fast and I will miss many outing opportunities with my friends. Every single pocket of time counts and I want to make full use of it, even the time I take to blog.

On the contrary, I want to thank God for many things. I hope that through this painful trimesterssss to come, they will make me a more thankful person :) Also, to love the people around me.

"We love because He first loved us."

16 Sep 2016 - Happy Friday

Hello everyone! So hows everyone doing?

I am here to blog about my friday~

by the way, current housing plan haha sounds high class.. I MEANT where I am currently staying.
Sunday to Thursday at my parents' house, Friday to Saturday my grandma's house

What do I like about friday?
Answer : Is going to school :)
Heard that? Read that? I am so sure you did haha and did it right!
Yes, I love friday classes about the POM lecturer I was obsessed with (ultimated SALUTE and RESPECT) repeat after me!

Today, while I was taking train I was quite worried as it was raining and the train was moving slow.
Having a joker classmate named Jonathan who offer to get my F&B with complimentary chope seat hahaha I rejected the F&B and told him the seat more important and yes HE GOT ME A PERFECT SEAT like in the middle of the class and thank you so much Shi Qi for getting me ribena~
My friends are so nice!

Knowing that your marketing answer is right for tutorials gives you the sense of perfect achievement, why perfect.. Well, the feeling of knowing that your answers are wrong is totally opposite of feeling perfect lol..

Today's marketing lecturer was way faster than the week before. Like what Jonathan said, she is faster than the train you are taking, well I am so sure about that mann! hahaha

I am glad that I managed to at least finalise 2 of my assignments, probably need to brush up a bit but I am really really feeling great about it!

I want to thank God for friends really, they helped me to reduce stress in any way and every way, making me have a sense of belonging haha and one great person I would like to thank is Eugene Lim.
Thank you so much for tolerating ALL of my nonsense and rubbish all the time, thank you for always being there, dedicated to print my lecture notes (not forgetting the kind hearted Melody Siew hahaha), thank you for respecting my busy schedule and my family :)
one group to give thanks for, Our Dance Will Never End, indeed, I guess it is hard for it to end. You guys have brought to me so much laughter and fun and I truly enjoy my time spent with you guys! And you all know and could tell I felt stress, I am just so touched by all of your concerns and love!

I really thank God for all these and I cant wait to thank for more~

Gambatte people and have a great weekend ahead :)
