Phew, after long months of waiting and sufferings from the stupid MOE, i finally didnt need their help anymore, i enrolled in the Hotel Star Programme in SHATEC and they gave me an answer just within 3 days that i'm selected for the interview... and i got in.. haha.. thanks lord!!
alrite, then went for several hotel interviews and finally after around a month or so, Amara Hotel-Singapore is going to accept and sponsor me for my course in Dip for Hotel Management. and i'm gonna talk all about my orientation and my first 2 days in school..
Orientation(30-6-06)
i was being asked to go for the orientation like 945am in the morning, and damn how unwilling was i to go. i was super scared and lazy and tired.. they should try consider shifting Shatec to Tampines man... its at bukit batok.. damn, i'm staying in Tampines... haha.!! ok and so, the day came, i was kinda on time for the orientation, was kinda quiet until Dawn came to ask me for a pen.. haha, then knew she was from the same sponsored hotel as me.. great! haha.. ok, the course tutor came in and spoke to us about basic general rules and regulations in e school.. kinda dull though, plus the air con was like freezing cold. after that long introduction, we were shown around the school and met some trainers as well.. then came lunch time, although it was buffet, but i didnt really eat that much coz i'm not hungry(first time eh).. haha.. after that the tutor sent us off and wished us best of luck for our journey here.. so was kinda bored, coz was suppossed to meet ks,yanda and vince for dinner at 7. and i finished at 1. luckily some of my class girls were there and we went shopping at WestMall(gonna be my new hangout place for 2.5 years)...
First day of school(3-7-06)
I was kinda late for school, i live in Tampines, somebody please show me some sympathy. and luckily the teacher wasnt here yet.. we had to actually combine Maths class with this bunch of rowdy and noisy seniors who are super rude to e teacher, god dammit.. she handed us the lesson schedule, and damn!!! i saw this two words, "profiency test" 5-7-06, which means its 2 days later.. damn, i'm new here, and here we are first day of school, not really knowing anyone well, not knowing the school, teachers, facilities well and BAM! there's a test. luckily it's profiency, not progress.. otherwise, i'll die of stress.. haha.. ok, maths lesson schedule's kinda fun, mainly more to e basics, good for my revision for my retake as well. yeah!
And finally after an hour or so, we finally left the class, the only good thing was that the teacher liked my specs, she says it stands out. haha. ok.. fine! then we all head for lunch at the coffeeshop. so me and Dawn bought duck rice and together with our classmates, we went to e void deck to eat, at least we found a place.. the coffeeshop was filled with people wearing SHATEC uniform.. haha..
therefore after lunch, we are having this lesson called Food Service Management. we took at least 10-15 mins finding the damn classroom, and finally when we found it, there were not enough chairs, the air con was confirmed-guaranteed spoilt coz there was no air at all.. imagine, no air con, after lunch, sleepy, teacher's voice can make u sleep(monotonious), how can i survive? as usual, i really cant concentrate coz its like 7 months since i've sat down proper to actually listen to a lecture.. so i was like fidgeting, eating sweets and looking at surroundings as well as talking to my friends asking how was their lunch and stuff.. how i wished it ended at that time!!!
so after 90mins of lesson, it finally ended and then, we had a 15min break before the next lesson start.. it was practical lesson.. so i guess it would be fun, plus the teacher looks fun.. haha.. the teacher was Mr Christopher Loh, he is about 1.5 times my size.. imagine that, those ppl who know me.. haha.. but he's really nice and funny.. when i stood up to intro, he said i had a drastic change, from a warehouse assistant to hotel management, then everyone laughed. haha, whatever. then i said i can meet alot of different ppl, and its interesting(not the ppl but the job scope), then he asked again, whats so interesting? i've never said its interesting, i dont think its interesting. and everyone laughed again.. haha... alrite, we were taught how to actually lay a table cloth professionally, how to change it professionally and it was kinda hands on.. he also taught us how to handle trays with glasses, so kinda fun... lesson ended quite early and at least it was kinda fruitful..
man i'm tired, gonna watch e wc semis later on.. i'll update on e 2nd and 3rd day tmr.. will be fun as well. i hope.
