New Department - PR

Finally I've entered into 3rd month of training, I'm currently in the Public Relations(PR) department, my immediate superior - Bel.

What I like about the most was because I have my OWN ROOM! :D

I gave my room a nick name - "Genting".

Well its because I chilled my room so cold with the prefixed centralized air conditioner(can't control), and another big air con which I turned it on till 16 degree.

What I have to do....

Sadly I have to leave the door open, a lot of em air went outside, so before I go for lunch I shut the door, leaving my room to be super chilled, and when I'm back...

Heavenly, absolutely heavenly! Especially when it rains, lagi syok! XD

Anyway, my basic daily routine job was to read news paper.

Just "trying" to do my job...

Seriously, but I have to find articles regarding the hotel and tourism industry.

The only big project I have at this point of time was to create a poster for a fund raising campaign which I have yet to start, I don't know how, but I'm going to try..

I wish I could write a longer update, but I have to run now, going to have a long day tomorrow.

Take care people! 1 more month, tabah lah~! ;)

Ada Mungkin Nanti, Tapi Sekarang Mati

Finance has been great, but as usual the numbers just don't wana behave themselves.

This week, my mentor - Wei Lee, she is on leave for the entire week, preparing for her wedding back at hometown.

Yea.. "Hello" I'm here to screw you got la...

But leh, people wedding other also busy wan to take leave, in addition another full time worker enter hospital, hence 3 gone, left 4 permanent staff.

They are lucky, because there were another 4 unsung heroes keeping watch of those misbehaving numbers, we trainees were there to lend a helping hand, and the day was saved!

Wei Lee and her husband soon-to-be, congratulation!
May happiness & trust always be the center of your relationship.

Yesterday was our Financial Controller(Big boss) - Miss Yeoh's birthday, therefore we have to be stopped from our work to celebrate for her.

Miss Yeoh - the one in purple,
Miss Joon(our accountant) - pink, talk super loud wan... ~.~

To cut the story short, we had a little party, eat some stuff and took some pictures.

All the other big shots also come show face, eat & talk till the sky drop.

~-.~-.~-.~-.~-.~-.~-.

Anyway, the above was just a little update on whats going on for me.

Now, time for the main point. =)


The moment of truth...

I finally know which department I will be placed for next month!!!

And I'll be going tooooooooooooo~~~~~

Public Relations(PR)!


But there is a problem, I have to know the do's and dont's before hand, therefore I was told by my training manager to ask Max Chua, whom is the current PR trainee about em PR stuff.

There was a photo shooting session today, I planned to follow Max around and see what can I pick up from him, thank goodness Miss Joon allowed me to go! =D

There I was away and ready to understand how things are done in PR.

PR can play with gun~

Todays photo shoot theme was 'East VS West', basically there will be a western guy and an eastern girl, posing with each a western & eastern dish.

Max had already found the eastern girl, which is also one of Sheraton's trainee - Tomomi which so happen to be Japanese, an added advantage to authenticity.

Hence, I expect that there will be the western male model walking into the photo room, we waited and waited, no one.

Coat for the western male model

Both dishes was already prepared and photo shooting ready to go, I asked max something, and the dialog sounded something like this:

"Eh, the western male model leh?"

"Neh, you loh!"

"Yeah rite, where la is the male model you found?"

"There wasn't any in the 1st place. *shows the list, only Tomomi's name was written*"

"AnjiNg! JAmbu! You seriuous kah? Don't play la, its not funny, and I don't wan to be in some silly photo shoot."

"What if I cant make it for today, then how? Where can like that wan...?! This is force labor!!!"

"If you cant, then it will be me already, where got western worker/trainee in our hotel for us to ask? This is an experience, I've done it also..."

"Oh my goodness, please tell me your joking.... I don't wan la, which part of me look western?! -.-"

"Got no body already, we have no choice.."


Yes Janice Wong! Your dear Max Chua set me up!!!! Its a blardy SCAM, a SCAMMMMMM I tell you!!!

This isn't about low self esteem, but hey, give a good stare at me face, which frigging part of me look western???!!!

And I know my own capability, my strength is behind the camera, not in front!

They were hurrying me, I have no choice but to forcefully move to get ready for the darn shoot... >:(


What made it worst, my soon-to-be superior from PR department came to see the picture, thats it la, 1st impression gone already..... ='(

1st thing that came out from her mouth, "this wan western meh?". *Finger pointing at the picture - me*

You know there is this bird that cant fly(cant spell the name), they bury their head in the ground when they get scared, that is what I felt like doing at that point of time.

The bottom line, no way its gona satisfy anyone, whoever says that its ok, he/she is dead blind and should jump off from Sheraton hotel roof top.

Here, I found another launching platform, 4th floor only,
but never mind, din die, take lift, come up & jump again! :D

To summarize the story, we found a middle easter guy to play the role as the "western" male model, he was more then happy to do so, and he is really good!

Thank heavens! Salvation for me! :D


At the end of the day, the photographer asked me if I want the picture or not.

Since I've risk so much of doing that stupid shooting, why not?

But that bugger only let me take 1, and he choose the picture for me, blardy heck, some more ask me not to be greedy... -.-"


Fine, you must be asking what kind of picture was taken.

Here is the deal, I will show it to u, but PROMISE that you wont laugh!

I'll tell you, don't laugh la!

Promise ah???

Tomomi-san & watashi~
I purposely photo shopped the picture to make its quality lower,
the black & white + blur effect covered up the flaws of this photo.. hah!

I said don't laugh...! Yes I know, I look more eastern... =/ Photographer said I look more Japanese, is that so? O.o

Over all, I still find PR interesting, and I'm looking forward for it.

All these stupid stupid story & incidents during training will some how I know 1 day be funny memories,

Imagine without these stories to tell, what will we have to say when people ask us "how was your training?", is it gona be another "ok la", "like that la"...?

To you guys out there training, almost 1 more month to go!

Never treat these little hard, stupid, funny, painful experience just another thing in life, is what we learned from it that counts & have fun also la, not just learn all the time! XD

All the best my dear friends! The reunion of batch 28 will soon commence! Take care! ;)

Working For The Devil

Life in finance department was good, but I see numbers everyday! And they are driving me nuts!

Basically I check the bills, report and other things related to hotel revenue and spendings.

Also known as income auditing.

I dislike checking banquet reports, its the same uneasy
feeling that I feel when I do my additional maths.... =(

Imagine me, doing partial income auditing work!

It must be a joke...

Me who scored 0.5 1 mark for 2nd accounts assessment back in term 2 because I wrote this and hand up the paper...

Maybe the I got the 1 mark due to the effort of using the pen and write something...

This is my real accounts paper took during my assessment time,
its not a made up.. I've shown this many times already..

Another achievement was I left the entire accounts section black during year end exam, worst still, me and Chris went on an "adventuring" the night before exam..

I was placed in the finance/accounts department, what more being position as trainee under the 'Income Auditing' section.

Isn't life just so evil??

I hate numbers already, now you want me to check them and make sure they are being good boys and girls?!

I love to play with this thing, I don't know why,
I like to hear the sounds of the receipt coming out! :P

Although its mental exhausting, but I surely love this job more then being a service staff.

My friend was right, he said that there will be lesser stories to tell once I changed to this department, indeed thats the case.

Nevertheless, I still learn something there, what I like the most are the people, they are very nice to us trainees,

Unlike most people from the operation side whom only know how to make use of us... I'm not saying all management/admin people are nice and operation people are bad.

Kak Ros & I, even though department different, she
treat us all so nice! I was hungry once, and she gave me
a piece of chicken chop to eat! :D

There is always a ratio la...

If you see a department so perfect, don't join, cause your going to spoil it.

I always kept that tag line in mind, no one is perfect. =)

Hope that after my training, I will gain something out of it, and not just wasting my time there.

How are you guys out there? Having a great time training? :D

Staring Karl Wong~~~ :P

Last but no least, I so have to do this, its just too funny not to share it! XD

A series of transformation after training in Sheraton Subang for 3 weeks.

Week 1:


Week 2:


Week 3:


Don't go crazy k people~! 1 month, 2 weeks and 4 days left, stay strong! ;)

Take care & God bless! =)

Capek Ampe Mampus(Tired Until Die)

-----------------------
Whats On My Mind:

My mum went Vietnam and wont be back till Thursday! I shall make use of my temporary freedom wisely! ;)
-----------------------

I really would love to blog and put up over 80++ pictures I took, but I'm just so tired, worn out, been away from home since morning...

I promise that I will recharge myself and blog-em-all~ :D

Please bare with me yea, sorry....

Here is a picture for all of you to feed on for today.

This is a 'Chocolate Fudge' cake~ Heavenly I tell you~
Even I, not a cake person loved it to the max!!

I took a piece and ate it before I left on the last day... =)

Many of us are getting sick, take care of yourselves guys and girls, 2 months more only!

Bertahan la oh teman-teman ku~! :D

Take care! ;)

Final Season At Cafe Lounge

*As the Datin-General Manager of Sheraton Subang approaching the lounge*

Boss: "Datin datang, datin datang. Jom berlakon sikit.."(datin is coming, act a bit)
Me: "Ok boss.."

*A conversation between 2 person*

Person A: "Mana boss? Sekarang sibuk dia hilang pulak!"
Person B: "Tak tau la, dia "semayang"?
Me: "What?? Apa semayang? Dia bukan muslim kan??"

Later I found out the term "semayang" here means 'curi tulang' also known as lazing around somewhere.

These people come up with their own code word man...

Me "semayang-ing"...

I'll be leaving Cafe-lounge on the 4th of May and proceed on to finance department!! :D

Thank God my appeal for department switch turn out smooth. ;)

Smooth as marsh mellow~

No doubt my life at cafe lounge has been really hard, but I've learned a lot during this period of time,

And I've meet the new MP of Kelana Jaya from 'Parti Keadilan Rakyat'(PKR), Mr.Loh Gwo Burne(the guy that took the 'Linggam Video').

I was attending to his table and I din know it was him until later.

I was so tempted to say "congraz on your win sir.",
but I did not... WASTED!!! =(

Things like how to handle certain situation at a certain time.

How to "suck-up" to your boss, handle hard guest and worked with idiots.

Followed my boss to "steal" our equipment back from banquet department.

How to make teh tarik and other drinks.

Kak Ying teaching me how to make teh tarik~

As an ordinary waiter,

I've also used the concierge luggage to transport things around, lend a hand to banquet department, done room service,

Done data entry for cafe lounge because boss lousy at using computer, send and pick up flowers, move furnitures around,

Carry 4 empty beer barrel down to store, and transfer 6 filled barrel which weigh 86kg per barrel back up using only a trolley, and many many more..

It doesn't look at light and easy as it seems...

Things that supposedly I don't have to do, I've done them all.. Stretch beyond my capability and knowledge, I'm proud to say that I've done well.

There will be times that things really get on our nerves, its evident that I do too, read my previous post also you know already, hehe..

"Semayang-ing" again... :D

The thing is, being upset and complaining about it to friends sometimes are ok, as long as we know how to get out from it and learn the lessons from that dark episode.

That way, our "sufferings" wont be in vain.

Room service for some stupid Akademi Fantasia singer... 1st wan to eat here,
later ask to send to room, very the troublesome la..

I hope my next month at finance department will be even better, exciting I hope!

I cant wait to go back college!

Wow, Taylor's college also produce wine?? :P

Working at Sheraton Subang sure reminds me of Taylor's College... 2 more months baybeh!

Take care people! ;)

Piano-Roma Chronicles

I like this quote by a friend of mine.

"At Taylor's School of Hospitality and Tourism, we were taught to serve ladies first, at Sheraton Subang Hotel and Towers we were taught to serve Datuk first..."

Diniy - Student of DH 26

Darn funny, but its true.

Our bosses are obsessed with datuks, every time got datuk come, boss sure ask us to work fast , serve fast, walk fast and be nice and wish them.

There was a time our Datin GM asked for the bill, I went and tell my boss that no one was there to issue the bill at the cashier..

I tell you, that was the time I saw my boss ran so fast, the person that he was taking to at that moment thought there was a boom threat or something.

People are just so suck up these days don't you think so? Money and power makes the world go round.

Bullshit...

Just few days ago, there was this VVVVVVIP who came, boss made it sound much more important then the King of Malaysia.

She was a evaluator pretends to be a guest, my boss somehow got the news that she was coming, I tell you, my favorite time during working hours was when there are 'big shots' around.

The staff all suddenly became so nice, a girl that normally never talked to me came up to me and ask "how are you?" IN FRONT of the guest.

This is one expensive center piece, RM 10 per rose missing...

The funnier part was one of the idiot bartender said to the VVVVVIP that she was pretty or something like that, I was washing the cup near the basin, can say I'm quite nearby them la.

After I heard him said that, I did a "tskh!" and shook my head, I'm not sure they heard it or not, but I certainty felt really disgusted of his hypocrisy till I automatically reacted in that manner.

Behind the 'Piano Lounge' bar..

Anyhow, there was this other incident which happen 3 days ago, the same sweet talking bartender asked me to come into the bar, so I went, I thought he wanted me to wash the cups, but...

He was speaking so fast about something in BM which I did not understand, I only catch some words like "gay", "angry", "react" and some other crap, and suddenly, his hands come touch my ass!


I was like "ya allah! what was that for?"... I know he is a type of person that like to play around, but why touch my ass?? Why me darn it! Later on, my another friend also kena..

Darn, I thought he was only an idiot, but he is gay?!?

Coffee machine! I wish I had one at home..

So I thought that episode was over.. BUT! Today, as I was folding tissue at the counter, someone touched my ass again! I turned and I saw this time one of the kakak touched my ass!

After that she said "apa hal sentuh-sentuh buntut nieh?", but in a joking manner, I looked at her and I don't know what to say at that point of time.

Anjing! Like that also can?!

Darn my ass so nice to touch is it?! You think free ar?! I not gigolo nor prostitute ok... Only reserved for my hand to scratch when its itchy! -.-"

Coffee powder machine!

Oh yeah! I'm going to say good bye to this hell condemn place, tomorrow I will be meeting Miss Helen again to see if I get to transfer to administration type department.

Wish me the best! And this time I hope no one touches my ass again.... =/

Preparing the welcome drink..

Alright, here are some other stories I wish to share.

One day, there was a wedding dinner at the ballroom, apparently its some datuk's son wedding.

Banquet department somehow was short of staffs to help out, and the manager just had the "right" idea to come Piano Lounge to "borrow" some man power.

And for some reason, I have to be selected along with that gay idiot bartender and that racist basket bartender.

Another view from the corner of 'Aroma Cafe'...

The condition was so messed up at banquet, for some time, I was lost, I din know what was going on, I don't even know what to do!

Only at the last moment, I was told that I only have to go in and take up some cover from some pot and come out.

Sounds easy? Well it was to me at first, take up a cover from a pot rite? What was so hard about it..

Something like that size,
sorry I din take the picture when
I was there...

Imagine taking up a cover THAT size, burning hot(use cloth), using one hand and not taking only from one table, bare in mind there are around 100++ tables and we have only around 20-30 people.

The good thing was, I learned how to take up that big cover, got a certain way, not that bad after all, at less I learned something.

They wanted to used this for something during the wedding dinner,
I hope its not to kill the bride or groom's past lover who came for the dinner.. =P

It has been a really painful long 2 weeks, now its the 3rd week, I cant wait till the end!

Take care people!

People That I Will Never Understand

I shall start off with this:

Kak Ida: "Aduh, kaki kakak gatal". (ahh, my legs are itchy)
Me: "Kenapa gitu?" (how come?)
Kak Ida: "Tak tau, mungkin kakak gatal?" (don't know, maybe because I'm horny)
*both laugh*

My legs are officially immune to the pain of standing for long hours, but still it gets tired la, just that I am still able to walk. =)

My work at 'Piano Lounge' was made even more difficult, I don't know how to type it out short, but here goes..

A film crew came and do a shot at Sheraton Subang..

I hate to put up with your fake smile and your dumb question of "how are you?" everyday I meet you at work, while I surely answer you reluctantly with "I'm fine thank you"...

I hate the fact that you all keep asking me "are you ok?" when you don't care if I'm really ok, I still have to press on regardless of what I answer.

I hate the fact that I still see your face even though I switch to morning shift with my other trainee friend on Friday, darn I thought I wont see you because your suppose to work night!

I hate the face that you wana rob me off my tip by asking me to make drinks instead of sending the bill to the guest, 3 times I remembered


I laugh at you because you fail to rob me all 3 times, guest refuse to give you the tip even though he paid by cash, guest pay via credit card, guest transfer the charges to his room.

I hate the face that I have to guess if your a hypocrite in front of me, your words are like honey but to me, its smelly...

I hate the face that your touchy, regardless of guy or girl, you love to touch, for what reason, I'll never know, gatal(horny) perhaps?

I hate the face that your racist, you whisper to your fellow friends "kalau Cina, hantam kepala sahaja"(if Chinese, just hit the head), I wasn't far from you, moreover I'm not deft.

All of the above are dedicated to the 3 guy bartenders.

Look at this picture carefully..

Alright, lets talk about something else, I have a story that I really wana share here.

On Tuesday night if I'm not mistaken, I was walking around doing my routine job of collecting the candles.

I saw a white guy waving at me using his book, I walked to wards him, as I was nearing him, he threw the book on the sofa and displayed an angry face.

In my heart I knew it means bad news for me...

I went there and as usual I asked "Can I help you sir".

Only to be shot back with "Sit down!"...

*Melz sit down*

"You know who am I rite?"
"Yes sir.."(who the hell are you?)
"Why does it take you so long to come serve me?!"( there were drinks on the table already) "I just wan a blardy coke and a warm water for this lady here!"
"Sorry sir I will get your drinks ready.."
"No no no! I don't wan to hear your sorry, call Mr.Shake(the assistant manager) here I wan to see him!"
"Alright sir.."

He was the band manager of a particular Filipino 3 girls band which perform every night at the lounge.

Screw you, who you think you are? Band manager means your balls very big ah?

Besides, who ask you to sit so far away, people here collecting candles and there you are waving you hand while you know I cant see you, bodoh! goblok! anjing! Jambu!

Notice something different? :p

I told Mr.Shake about it, "sir I think that guest wants you to screw me up."

"Har? Let me check with him.", he went over.

Few minutes passed, he came back, I saw his eyes a little red, like gona cry.

I ask him "sir how? what that fella say?"

He answered, "I kena F**K kao kao".

1st time I heard Mr.Shake cursed, the worst he said was "babi punya orang", but this is really bad... =/

Aduh, it wasn't even my fault, because of this, both of us have to get screwed by that band manager... Bugger no patience, what can we do, guest is always right...

In memories of Alice's "bunga tahi ayam"...

Look at the bright side, I learned something from every shit that happened, from this I learn something known as 'recovery', once guest angry, refill his drinks clean his table and etc..

To all out there training, stand strong!!

What cant kill you, will build you!

Take care guys! See you all in another 2 and a half more months time. =)

Here Comes The Pain

Darn, just as I was getting used to the pain in my leg, and knowing my other fellow associates better, something just had to pop up and disrupt my working mood...

2 days ago was my 1st day working the 3pm-11pm shift, surprisingly I like this shift, cause I don't have to do those stupid thing like polishing cutleries and crockeries.

But still, working so ate at night. We sometimes expect peace and harmony, BUT NOOOOOOOooo.............

Something just has to come up and cause a pain in the arse...

Melvin Teoh, Alice Suryadi & Fandi Harlie
After Sunday night shift supper time at Asia Cafe,
watching ManU vs Arsenal also..

For normal day shift, I will be working mostly with kak Ying or kak Aida, but Sunday shift, I have to work with 2 abang instead...

I thought guy bartenders are cool, calm and nice to chat with, but these 2 are just plan jackasses and 'suck up king', "polishing the boss's shoes" is what they do best...

One by the name of Ramli burger and the other one I don't even bother remembering, it defiles my memory by remembering such horrendous name, so I shall call him 'Shark'...

Looks delicious? Well, its going into the dustbin... T.T

It all started by a stupid can of beer, I din know how to pour it, so somehow it over flow la..

I ask Ramli to come, I was expecting a "aduh, never mind is ok, I teach you now and next time you do it nicely".

Instead he said these:

*the ones in red are his words, black ones are mine*

"So now who going to pay?"
"Err, I don't know, hotel beer not like outside cheap, how to pay?"
"So now you expect me to pay? You know I hold responsible for this?"
"I don't know la abang, I din know got some special way to pour beer."
"Now you trainee or I trainee?"
"Me?"
"So you expect me to tell you what to do?"
"Err, how I know got special way to pour man.."
"Don't talk so much, now you trainee or I trainee?
"Me?"
"Next time you don't know please ask, anything just ask."
"Ok, sorry..."
"I'm not angry with you ok."
"Yeah I know asshole."

Yep, I am on the wrong, but darn, I'm just training, and you ask me to open and pour the beer but never tell me how in the 1st place, how the heck you expect me to know... -.-"

And it just never ends there.


I went over to 'Aroma Cafe' to help kak Ida shortly after being flamed.

One thing is to escape from abang Ramli just in case he goes nuts and flame me again and on the other hand, I helped kak Ida to arrange the chairs, clear the tables and etc...

I saw the 'Shark' was at the bar and kak Ida was alone, so technically I'm at no fault by going over to the other side because I'm suppose to help either outlets.

Separated by just a lock...

After clearing the last bit at 'Cafe Aroma', me and kak Ida were talking a bit, as soon as I was about to leave back to the bar, a "ramli burger" bounced out from no where..

To cut the story short, he thought I was lazing around, so he asked me a so call "educated person" question, I shall not talked about that, its hard to tell via typing.

I shall officially declare all the guys at the bar are useless bums... They talk but cant walk their own talk,

All these yummies went into the dustbin as well...

Complaining about me eating those peanuts but you yourself also eat,

Complaining about me leaving after my 8 hours shift work but after your own 8 hours or BEFORE that your shadow cant even be seen,

I tested another guy about receiving tipping, I saw him putting a fat RM10 into his pocket, so when I receive mine, I asked

"Abang Danny, if we got tip, we just take rite(duh!, but I was testing him)?"

"No no no! You must put into the box in the store room, remember to put ok!"

Your pockets are full, but you wanted to swallow all, your back has become as crooked as a politician because its just too heavy for you.


I shall write more in days to come, save more for later yea~ :D

To all my batch 28 friends, keep pressing on!

No doubt there will be "snakes" trying to take advantage of us in various ways, but thats how we learn rite? ;)

Take care, God bless us all!
