Just keep swimming..swimming...swimming!!!

Well let's see we have come up to the part where I went home eh......NO I didn't bum around and have an extra holiday,believe it or not I got a job, the very week I reached penang I started applying and one week later I landed a job at The Northam All Suites Penang! (by the grace of God )

Post: Management Trainee

Department: Sales& marketing

Job: Sales Coordinator

the pay was awesome,the colleagues awesome, and thats about all that is awesome about the Job! EVERYTHING else was definately NOT easy! 6 DAYS a week....almost 9-10 hours a day!

Stressfull,performance based job it was! you had guests on one end and management on the other end to deal with..not a pretty combination. There were days I wanted to just give up but there were more days where I loved the challenge, and it wa so gratifying going through hell to get things done!

As you may know with a job in the hotel industry you don't get much of a social life because of the unsane hours! however I still managed to squeeze in hang out time at night...it was definately the highlight of every week becasue I could just unwind,relax and finally act my age..and be amongst people of my ranks!

I also had 2 weeks of free time once I stopped working before my flight back, so that was a good dose of hang out time and 'enjoy penang while you still can time'!

Work

Office pet

office wear...I had to go shop for office clothes...needed work shirts,black skirt,coat,black covered shoes..and number 24 stockings! hahhahahaha! oh and the worst part..I had to spend so much on make up!! so not my thing!


Welcome lunch with boss at the hotel chinese restraunt!..famous for it's food...people have weddings at our hotel only because of the food!

Last day- Lunch with the gang!

And of course no trip back home is complete without food..these pictures do no justice at all!! i had so much more to eat....and went to way more places... but each time I would gobble up the food therefore no pictures! was too into the food!

International buffet dinner at E&O....ruthy and I must have had about 5 plates of seafood pasta cooked to our preference,heaps of duck...sushi, and moreton bay bugs (the fellow) etc. Not forgetting dessert...stuffed myself silly...


Coffee Island was like a usual hang out spot...anytime we just wanted to chit chat and chill we went there...

Steamboat!

Behold everyone!! this is RM9 Char koay teow!!! trust me we finish every morcel of it...left nothing behind!

And as if we hadn't eaten enough..we had waffle day!

This trip was a trip filled with up's and down's. But I am not complaining as it was a real adventure...a time where I had to learn to grow up fast, I learnt more about myself as well! but MOST IMPORTANTLY I got closer to my mum and dad! now that is PRICELESS!

Just for kicks!!! nothing wrong with him SERIOUS!

It is so true that God sends angels in the form of friends especially when you really need them!

My Angel number 1

Angel number 2

I have many more angels.....just that they were not around at that time...but they were there for me still..throught fb,msn,sms, and although I was cut off from many(my own doing) I knew they were there....you guys know who you are hey!! And no matter what...eventhough we don't speak for months and months...when we all meet up at the end of the year ...it's like the time away never existed! now that's what FRIENDS are!

That's all folks....thats what I was up to the entire time I was M.I.A. A quick summary just to get going again....so from this post on will be new happenings!
