Lol. If you're wondering why I havent been going on to messenger these days, Im currently in the work exposure programme by our school. so I've been attached to Mandarin Oriental Hotel, together with Jack, Shaun-s, Martin, Matthew, Ed, and Leonard-s.

On the first day, only Jack, Shaun-s, Martin, Matthew and I went. so we got "directed" to the staff entrance. we met the person-in-charge of us, Mrs Teo, and our "大姐", Elisa. Haha, HR people. after some intro and stuff, we went for uniformfitting. Since Jack, Shaun, Martin and I got put to festive department, we got the common uniform, long-sleeved black shirt with black pants and short apron. i liked it. Shaun and Matthew, working at the international buffet restaurant, MELT, got some red shirt, and pants with some thin red stripes and long apron. haha. but they all looked cool. we got seperated into two groups and went to meet our managers. haha, dont know how theirs went, but we met our manager, Jack (coincidently haha), outside the pastry kitchen. though hes not a chef/baker. after introduction, we went to do lotsa christmas-y stuff. like santa's little elves. XD For the last few days, I have tried lotsa things, from packing cookies, tying ribbons, washing dishes, setting up tables, to doing deliveries, folding napkins... the list goes on. You cant tell by reading, but it has been a truly interesting and eniriching experience. I have learnt a whole lot. We've also got the chance to meet and work with many different people, from different countries, different backgrounds, different races, different ages, different gender, different personalities (emphasized by Mrs Teo, lol). I have to say that everyone there has been really really nice to us. And I cant thank them enough. Cindy, Elisa, Jack, Hannah, Esther, Ricky, Albert, James... to name a few. =D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELISA!
enjoy your 'appointment'!
