I'M Also Busy With This

Salam, Wa masih kat sini and the ryhtm still the same. I'm also busy doing recruitment in early March. Before wa depart to Bandung I already upkan Vacancies Ads in The Star for the permanent post. Wa depart to Bandung on 3rd March and back on 5th March. Its my routine that every 6 months I have to do some recruitment for Bandung Trainees from Hotel School In Bandung in replace of part time staffs. That's the normal practice for most of the hotels. Why do we do this? First and foremost rank and file staffs normally recorded high turnover, kerja kurang selesa nih ie waiter, room maid, kitchen helper nih tak ramai anak Malaysia yang berminat depa lebih gemar merempit and melepak. Without knowing that if you want to be a good hotelier you got to start from bawah. Our education system for hotel industries not as good as Europe and Indonesia. Malaysian mentality disogok oleh dunia glamor wearing black jacket amat berbeza dengan system apprentice yang diguna pakai di Europe and Indonesia. And u be suprise to know that Bandung is the best Hotel School In Asia. Kenapa nak pakai Bandung Trainees ye u may ask me that question? Budak local Trainee tak boleh ker? Hmm jawapanya budak kita manja teramat, hari ni masuk Practical Trainee assign them in Housekeeping or Kitchen tomorrow they come to my office and ask to be transfer to Front Office and they are not been train in specific area. To the stage they don't even want their hand get wet and with excuses that they can't stand too long. Ya Allah macam mana tu? On the other hand Budak Bandung yang bapak dia tokey hotel pun don't mind jadi Butcher. If I took Bandung Trainees I save a lot in retrain them not only that for solid 6 months I don't have to worry about retrain in other dept, I don't have to worry about turn over as well. Enough of that. I normally go on Tuesday and back on Thursday. Arrive Bandung wa terus ke BIHTI the hotel school in Bandar Baru Parahyangan. This place is amazing nice ambience dikelilingi bukit and tasik memang rasa werld lah, I nak upload gambo tapi sowi wa tertinggal camera at home so next visit I will upload the photos. The candidates waiting with continuous smiling face. That's what I like most, they are naturally warm, hospitality need more natural touch. In the evening wa balik hotel for a rest, I stayed in Holiday Inn Bandung, my fist time stay in Holiday Inn normally I stay in Grand Serela Jln Riau, I prefer there he he he coz outlet sebelah hotel jek.. Wa kan suka shopping. The next day early in the morning more candidates waiting at the lobby area I'm continuing my recruitment task, the next morning with the same activities. Selebihnya I was busy hopping in and out of Factory outlet in Jln Dago, Riau and of course Pasar Baru & Rumah Mode. Rumah Mode and Pasar Baru is a must place to visit if you happen to be in Bandung. That my busy day in Bandung tapi kali nih wa gewam Internet kat Hotel tu tak superb wa tak dapat nak go on net, sia-sia wa angkut mini notebook wa. Wa balik last flight sampai kat kul 10 malam hubby and Aleesya was waiting for me at the airport..hilang langsung penat wa. Starting 6th March onwards wa got to travel early in the morning to Concorde Shah Alam for 7 good days. Penatnya...

I'M Busy With This

Salam,
















My rythm today was excellent. Playing slow number with a nice ambience.


At last I got a break at least a short break to update my blog. Lega giler. Wa banyak utang ngan lu all banyak yang dah jadi dalam masa 2 months nih. Let me started with my February diary. Me and my team was busy doing this for the staffs. We organize this Charity Drive that was a yearly calendar events for CIKLIA. I identified this home when I and Capt had to shortlist the Home for our Charity Drive. We started our journey of searching in Dengkil, when to Mantin, Kajang and end up in Klang. Taking photos do some proposal, presentation and finally we choose Rumah Anak Yatim Al Khairiyah in Klang.

When I first met Wak Hj Tulus he was very friendly and informative. Dia ni menantu Tn Hj Sirat pengasas this house, one of the Road In Klang was named after this founder. Its a private orphanage home, and wa rasa terpanggil untuk do our Charity Drive apatah lagi mengenangkan nasib 48 penghuni rumah anak yatim miskin ini yang rata-rata dihuni anak kecil berumar dari 6 hingga 16 tahun. Its a bit unorganize. Rumah seperti inilah yang harus dibantu.

Finally on 28th February 2009 total number of 35 staffs including all the dept heads and our GM depart from our property to Klang. Majlis ni bermula seawal 8 pagi dan berakhir at 2pm. We do some gotong royong work, having lunch together with the kids and handed over cheques to the home. Food was prepared by our Chef and the Kitchen Team, we also donated pillow, curtains, bedsheet, blankets and some good used clothes.

The Care Team Ready To Move Group Photo Before Depart The Big Boss In Action
That's The Least We Can Give!! That's my proud CIKLIA DNA that I want to develop, to inculcate Concorde Care Spirit and none of people who talk I'm bad, I only talk and useless boss are here. Those who are here are those with true spirit of Care & Share..


Maybe depa nak revange but I don't care I'm doing it with my honest feeling so wa pedulik haper khan orang nak kata....Adios...
