a token of appreciation

I got an sms from my boss this morning saying that last night's weddings was a disaster. The couple complained this morning that I did not do a good job and did not stay on till the dinner ends. I was a little frustrated when he said that I did not put my heart to the job. I was practically running all over the hotel yesterday, and kept apologizing to the kitchen chef for those minor mistakes I made. Anyway, that is not the point. I am happy to amend my mistakes if it has been done.

So I called my boss immediately and asked him specifically what when wrong.

He laughed at me. And I replied, "You enjoy seeing me panic is it not?"

The real story was that the wedding couples were very happy, satisfied and appreciated our assistance prior and during their wedding day. Phew! Yesterday both weddings were handled solely by me and of course not forgetting my strong army of banquet men. I thank them much for working hand in hand with me coz I know it is damn tough to work with so many people at the same time!

I look forward to more successful weddings ahead...

Something new

Hello again my fellow bloggers and avid readers.

This is already 3rd week of my new role as a wedding planner in the company and so much ahead to know and learn. Everyday is a learning experience for me and I meet new people every hour really! As easy as it may sound, I believe this job requires one to have strong personalities; tough in dealing with customers and patience. It is not about catching up the job prescribed to me as paperwork is just a mild issue. Comparatively, my last job does not deal so much with 1-1 customers, I need to know more than the customers otherwise bad verdict. What I also realise is that no matter how right you are, the management will blame you for being neglectful in your job. I believe this is the challenge I am facing - to avoid being framed as much as possible coz in the end, the company only wants to know the results - not the process.

This job has taken up much of my personal time and sometimes I thought is this all worth doing. Even thinking over, the pay I asked for was it too little as to what I am going to sacrifice for the company? So much to question. Anyways, I hope I will stay longer than I thought I wouldn't be because not everyone now has the opportunity to secure a job.

On the positive side, my new "family" at the workplace is good bunch of people to work with! Helpful, cheerful, understanding and accommodating, and perhaps more.... It is surely an environment most people would want to work in a company rather than not knowing who is sitting right beside you. I am quite adjusted to the people around me and maybe once I am being confirmed the job here, I will have a whole different perspective about the company and its people.

So friends, don't forget to buzz me if you're planning to hold your wedding soon. I'll do my level best to realise your dream wedding! Cheers.

New wardrobe

This time my new wardrobe must looked like as though I'll be attending funerals. :X I dislike wearing black unless I had to; like Monday blues or when I look bloated for no reason, So black usually is a good cover-up. I like colourful clothings and perhaps since my new job is uniform, I can have many more party clothings!!! Yay!!!

Then again, I don't really party these days. I feel that my closest friends no longer enjoy the night scene; rather watch movies, mamak-ing, cafe-ing, watch stage plays and more high-end hobbies. I guess I've never thought I am getting older and still miss those times when I was a teenager. I've no regrets yet so maybe I need a new crowd to make me feel more alive then I can still can do what I like doing when I was younger :)

Look! who's older

Happy 25th Birthday to myself!!!

Since my mobile battery is dead since morning, thanks to all who have smsed and called to wish me plus all the wonderful gifts. Love them all :)

Getting married!!!

The headline does not suggest that I am getting married! to my partner, though I must say it is every girl's dream to have a family when they are much older and ready for more commitments in life :)

Earlier today I attended an interview which I have high confidence that I will take charge and get that job. AND.... I DID! I was offered on the spot, to be THE future Wedding Planner for one of KL 5-star hotel. I must guess that my face has so much hope that I'd be their most outstanding employee in the event department. Wait! To be precise, the wedding department. As happy as I can be, I'll accept the offer once I've agreed to the package which will be presented to me tomorrow morning. Yipeee!!! What can I say more.... I'm overwhelmed with this news coz I've promised myself that I'll get a job by early May.

I have to thank the motivational book which I've been reading recently The Secret. Of course, I am thankful to myself for believing much in me. The book has made me thought a lot in believing. I've told cutie before that if we think positively, the positive energy will come to us and subsequently good things will fall into place as planned. Only negative thinking will encourage bad things to happen to us continuously.

On other matter; I got into the office today and I got a feeling that my application to work with Summits team will be rejected because over the weekend I kept thinking that in my mind that I'd not be accepted by them. Obviously, I did pretty bad in my final stage interview with the CEO in Cyprus so this is the result. Then after, the good news came :)

You got to believe in yourself to let the good things fall in place for you.

Yes! I am to be wed - to my new job early next month!
