The Day I'm Proud To Be His Daughter

A friend of mine asked me a day before the actual ceremony when we were having our lunch.

S: Are you working tomorrow (Saturday)?
L: Nope, I'm off
S: Why suddenly you off? Normally we always had a same off day what!!
L: I have to attend this one ceremony
S: What ceremony?
L: Actually, not for me, but for my father.
S: Ya la, but what ceremony???
L: Investiture. My father forced me to go, sigh
S: You are not proud of your father , is it?
L: Why you said like that, of course I'm proud of him.
S: No la, the way you are saying, as if like you are not proud of him.
L: Of course not, I just don't want people think that I'm showing off. That's all la coconut.
S: You are a nut, you know that??? Rolled eyes

Of course I'm proud of my father and ya, I'm proud to be his daughter. Daughter of Haji Jamaluddin Haji Ahmad. After so many years, sacrificed everything,especially his time with family, for the second time, his hard worked has been recognized. I am so proud of him.
I was in the Abu Bakar Palace, Pekan, Pahang for the investiture ceremony. We were there since early morning and only returned back at 3 pm. The ceremony started at 10am and finished around 12 something and followed by lunch.

The Day I Can't Believe I Still Need My Starbucks Coffee

I was with Aiman at Starbucks last night for about 3 hours and each one of us had 2 cups of coffee.
I had the grande Toffee Nut Latte for the first round when I noticed my coffee almost finished, but we were still talking as if we were not going to end up the conversation soon. For that currently so much in love with Toffee Nut Latte, I've ordered another one. Two cups of Toffee Nut Latte within 3 hours, and I'm still thinking I'm not done with coffee yet.
Went back home, and before going to sleep, I must read something so I grabbed story book that I currently read and was thinking I will be out of coverage soon. Hehehe, but unfortunately, I find myself kept on going read that book and finished it and it was like 4.45 in the morning. Damn, it must be the 2 grande Toffee Nut Latte that kept me awake. Or, maybe because of the book quite interesting to read.
What is the book all about? Its all about Rosie and Alex who are bestfriend since childhood and they have stuck by each other through thick and thin. But they're suddenly seperated when Alex and his family move from Dublin to Boston. Rosie is lost without Alex. Then, just as Rosie is about to join Alex in Boston, Rosie gets life-changing news- that will keep her at home in Ireland.
I found this book is very interesting and I kept on smiling and sometimes got tears in my eyes.


Hurm, was it because of my current favourite Toffee Nut Latte or Where Rainbows End? You guys decide. And now I end up blogging when I got a lots of thing need to be done but my eyes can't open properly due to 2 and a half hours slept. Most probably I need another cup of Toffee Nut Latte to keep me going and sitting here in the office at least until 7pm. Help!!!

The Day Lions Are Everywhere In The Hotel

I've to work as usual like previous years since Chinese New Year is the most high occupancy in our place. The second day of Chinese New Year, I'd made myself occupied around the hotel and lions are dancing everywhere around the hotel. They started at the lobby to the all outlets and offices and ended up at the swimming pool.


Starting around 11am at the lobby

Ops, my GM in his office


Errr, suddenly I have no words to say. To those who are celebrating Chinese New Year, wish you all a Happy Lunar Year.

The Day Should I Cry Or Smile

I was in the Training Academy conducting the Hyatt On Skills Training for the Departmental Trainers when suddenly I got a called from my boss and asked me to come back to office immediately. In my heart I was thinking what I'm doing wrong this time. What else I'm going to get from him. Damn. When I reached at my office, he straight away called me to his room, and I saw this 2 peoples who are my colleagues. He told me that one of the them are resigning. I wasn't surprise as I knew she tried to look for another job. And I'm not surprised at all when my boss asked me to cover up her work, or what he tried to tell me was doing all her job and move myself from Training side. I knew this is going to happen, as nobody here can handle her work except me. But what make me feel so frustrated when I need to forget about my transfer to KK and most probably my Hyatt International assignment. I'm really looking forward for that assignments that will give me a lots of experience and also for my career growth.

With this new roles, I'm suppose to be happy as I can expand my knowledge and learn everything especially in terms of decision making. But I hate it when people are so selfish when they didn't care about other peoples feeling. I just can't believe that such of kind person (according to most of peoples here), she can't do that whilst she knew almost everything about my career path and what I'm looking forward to.

But again, all I need to do is think positive and look at a bright side. And it always that,at the end of the tunnel, there is always a light. The wheel of life is constantly moving, and what goes around will come around. I'm sure my turn will come. I'm prepared and ready for that.

What I Did When I have to work Whilst Other Peoples Still On Leaves

I couldn't take leaves after the New Year even though it was only 2 days. And I had worked on last Friday and Saturday but, I managed to get myself occupied with my friends around here, especially when MJ was around for her vacation. She was my former Training Manager whom I reported directly during my internship and my early year in Hyatt and she is currently a Training Manager at Hyatt Regency Kathmandu, Nepal. The days I spent with them mostly all girls day and night out plus the makan thingy.

Friday
Lunch: Food at hotel
Dinner: Sushi King, MJ craved since no Sushi King in Nepal, hahahahah
Coffee after dinner: Coffee Nut Latte, at Starbucks
Supper: Cookies and kerepek at Akka's house

Saturday
Lunch: at Secret Recipe plus we had chocolate brownies and caramel cheese cake for dessert
Dinner: at Akka + Charles's house

See, all about foods. Damn, my dad will complain about I'm gaining weight once he comes back from Mekah. But it's ok as long as we had fun together. Got to sleep now. Tomorrow is a long day for me before I'm leaving to KL to fetch my daddy. Yeay, kinda miss him. :)

New Day Started

Its New Year 2009. That's mean it is the beginning of the new chapter of life. It doesn't mean we have to forget everything that had happened in the past years, but take it as an experience and learning process to be a better person. Things happened for a reason and for us to think what we have done wrong. People asked whether I have a resolutions or not. My answer always be "NO" as I would prefer go with the flow rather than have a resolution and at end of the day, I will not doing anything. Anyway, different people different perspectives right. As for me, I have plan for myself but not shouting it out to other peoples. Well, it is a new day in a new year people..
Happy New Year guys..
