Continuous Busy Day

Salam,

My rythm today was awesome, playing hot number and its a busy day here in Sepang. Week of F1 Race. The hotel normally macam pesta during F1.

This property normally start busy 2 week before the event. The decoration team were here for the past one week. Now the property was full with Team Crew and Medic Team from SIC. Its a good sign for business and that's mean good service points awaiting staffs at the end of the month.

I saw Sharul keep on smiling. He and his F&B Team created new marketing approach and 2 thumbs up to him, u had created new ambience too for this property. 2 band is playing instead of 1, continuos music at XRoads lounge. Lu sukalah bro kan briefing lu taklah kena tala, business bagus. That's why I like young management team. Sharul, Man, Capt and Me. We will continue serving and lead the team. This year I saw a change, lots of F1 team are moving to our property, its a good sign for next year business too, for this Man deserved a clap of hands.

Today and tomorrow the hotel is 100% full, bilik wa and other DH pun kena jual, terpaksalah wa and the gang angkut keluar barang from our rooms. Wa tak kisah beb..ADIOS..

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...

Cuti Lagi

The rythm from my heart playing a fast number, its a fine day here.














Last Sunday was a long weekend holiday again and we were here in PD having family gathering and BBQ Dinner. Lama sungguh wa and my close cousin family tak outing and BBQ, we normally gathered and chit chat and have fun together bezanya today one of the geng will never be together again and again. This is our first gathering without Abg Cher aka Kuzil aka Uncle Cher. Al Fatihah buat arwah almost 3 months he passaway since 6th Dec 2009 just 3 days after my trip back from Jakarta and Bandung. The funny things is when I was in Bandung he also there with Kak Ina and almost every outlets in Jalan Dago I bumped into him walhal sebelum tu dah 2 minggu wa tak jumpa dia dan guess what I also bumped into him at the airport masa balik, my flight was from Jakarta his from Bandung and the flight delay about 3 hours. Kuasa Allah rupanya itulah kali terakhir wa bermesra dengan dia. He's just like my own brother or so call my peyimpan mohor besar bak kata Kay. Acer is a fashion designer, he happen to be a designer for Erra and some artist a close friend of Kay Adzman a make-up artist of Erra and his speciality was on wedding dress and outfits. And Bandung and Jakarta is just like his 2nd home and wa pun banyak kenal org Pasar Baru tu melalui Acer, senang wa nak discount sama macam wa dapat designer price bila wa shop kat Maya and Gulati's. Basically its hard to believe that's he will never be around anymore. I miss him so much, miss his cooking, miss his kindness. Tahu tak everytime I got overseas assignment dia sanggup turun dari Pilah just to bekalkan wa sambal goreng kering atau dalam bahasa orang Pilah 'Sambal Koring'. Masa hubby wa study kat Kuching dulu pun dia wat mende yang sama for hubby. Wa jumpa and bercinta ngan hubby pun kat umah dia aka Umah Mak Engku. His not just only relatives to me but also a good Abang angkat to my hubby. Biorlah orang ngata dia lembut but to me nothing can compare to him. Ehh teremo lak wa so back to our PD outing..


We reach PD at 3pm check-in into Sri Bulan Apartment have a rest for while, the guys and kekanak went to the pools while ladies busy preparing food for tonight BBQ. Kita buat pot luck aje each family bring one items. 3 family so 3 main dishes and yang bujang trang tang tang bawak fruit, drinks and snacks.


That night we had good BBQ and good chit chat & very good huha and a good sleep as well. The next day we spend lots of times at the beach and pool having good lunch and everybody check out at about 7pm. Sowilah gambo BBQ malam gelap giler so wa tak upload.


Another good day with a very good companion. Thanks Allah.

GAZA FUND PC

Salam














My rhythm today was awesome and its cooling weather here in Sepang.


Its been quite sometimes after I last blog. Its been a very tasking and busy working day for me plus busy of catching time to settling things for new look of our home. Macam tak cukup waktu beb. Day in day out its close to 2 weeks wa mengabaikan blog nih.

Remember my staffs collections on GAZA Fund, we handed over to NST finally. On 4th February we had sponsored the venue and refreshments for Mercy PC where all the Volunteers for GAZA came back and all of them are doctors. They shared their experiences and we all touch with unexpected stories. Prof Dr Ikhram who lead the team did shared at one time there were a group of student who gathered for their graduation and they don't even have a chance to grads on that day as the academy were bomb by Israel. How sad and wa sedih giler sharing their stories. Itu belum lagi how diorg face the patients yang died and belumuran darah, kanak-kanak golongan wanita and warga Gaza yang tak berdosa.

During the PC we handed over the cheque to NST Representative. That's conclude our charity drive kick off for this year. This PC was aired in TV1 news and the write up on the GAZA Fund was published in NST.

Today I learnt one thing life have to go on no matter what? Perjuangan harus diteruskan walau hingga ke titis darah yang terakhir. Doa wa yang berpanjangan agar bumi GAZA sejahtera. Amin.

Family Day At Long Never Visit Place

My rythm today playing fast number, a ceria and ready to work mood. What a great feeling after long holiday, that's suppose to be the spirit.














Yesterday we were here, a place which close to 15 years I never visit, macam jauh sangat kan? Tapi adalah sejengkal jek dari rumah. Ermm kut Birm tu yalah jauh, ye dak Doc Aji? I remember I last visited to this place when I work with TSI, Renong subsidiary, that's also because its a family day for the Group. Masa tu wa single lagi and just started work. Fresh grad gitu. The place had changed, more games at the amusement park, additional park. They now have 5 parks. We bought 2 park package ticket which include the main park - water park. The water park improved alot, now they also have surfing place, a beach, more games- interesting. We were here at 11am together with my cousin family, 10 of us including my niece and nephew. Macam rombongan Cik Kiah gitu.


My daughter enjoyed the water park activities the most infact all of us spend more time at the water park. Towards the end then only we went for other activities at the amusement park. We went off at about 4pm. We all singgah makan kat Steven Green Tea Restaurant just opposite Sunway Lagoon, the new wing of Pyramid. The food there not bad and price quite reasonable. So the next time you went to Pyramid try eat here or Papa Rich and you will definately don't feel regret.


we got this for free when we return the entrance band, actually we change it with the deposit money of RM10, the actual price for this water resistance Sunway Lagoon watch cost you RM39.90. The blue one for hubby the pink color for me. Aleesya didn't get it coz the entrance fee for her is free.

Adios. Wa chow dulu banyak kerja nak kena hadap dah lama cuti kan. Its about time to focus on the paper.
