Last Day in Hotel Savoy Baur en Ville

Today, it is my last working day in Hotel Savoy.
The feeling is getting more and more weird today, I have a feel that I will miss this place after I leave.

I need to search for a new goal after finishing my internship here.

Life's is getting more and more exciting now with adventures, experiences, lifestyles, etc.

While, things will be even harder from now on.

I'm 21 years old this year, within 2 more months I will be 22 already.

If someone gonna ask me how do I feel after finishing my Internship at Switzerland, I will answer them "I Don't Know" because my feeling is very very unsure and uneasy.

I'm lost......with goal's temporarily.....

To all my friends, please organize some partys, gatthering, plans,or even holiday throughout the month from January to March, I am back and I will be free. =)

Live on with joy and fun, direction will be set when times come.
Alex Liew.

The final 14 days...

Way to go, since 29th of December 2009 till my degree graduation day back in 18th June 2010, there goes almost 6 months of my life experiences in Switzerland. Then, after I started my Internship in Hotel Savoy Baur en Ville Zuerich since the 1st of July 2010, it has been 164 days today on the (15th of December 2010).

After today, tt is my final 14 days in Switzerland.....

I don't know what kind of feeling I have now.....

It is like:

Dizzy

Uneasy

Unsure

Lost

Undesirable........

Perhaps, even happy and unhappy?


Well, it is still a happy feeling in general, but it is unsure about the future goal's......

The final 14 days, way to go and back to Malaysia and say "Ciao" to Switzerland.

Future Direction

I am always asking myself, where should I head to after I finished my Internship and get my Degree?

Continue to work....but where?

Looking for a job....but what?

Aim for a high salary job...but how?

Investments as side incomes....but how?

Archieve my goals within the specific year...but how?

It is easy when we say what we want to do, but it is hard when we don't know how to do it.

Things can be specific from several directions and ways, but the bridge to reach that destination had only one way.

Acceptable or Unacceptable?

Today, I got scolded by the director of the hotel out of a sudden......

Following is the story:

Well, I am making breakfast tables today like I do everyday.....
After I am finished with it, then I am bringing the prepared table up to the office of the floor due to space limitation of the place in my department....
Then, I am going to bring 2 table up to the floor when the elavator comes, and also the director comes towards my direction, that moment I was going to take a table after another, but the table I am holding was the unprepared table, so I was trying to push that table to the side first and bring the prepared table into the evalator......

Out of a sudden, the Director shouted! He said:" what are you doing? How can you bring two tables into the elavator at the same time?!"
Then...
He continue to shout at my Chef (Manager) in German and said:" You are the chef and you should control your staff to do things properly!" and he went in another Elavator while I continued my work....

After I came down from the floor........
I meet him again at the Elavator near my department, and he shouted at me again and he said : "There is one thing you should know in this world!!! That is you must always make sure everything are perfect and perfectly done in your life's or else you will never survive in your life's!!! " then he turned away and walked to my Chef and said: " Please make sure your staff is doing his job properly!!!"

In fact, I don't even have a chance to say anything because he is already shouting.
Indeed, he didn't even ask what I am doing and he is already judging me in his point of view.
In my point of view, I will never believe in everything must be perfect in life's as to survive, because people's do make mistakes and then only they will realize they are wrong and figure out way's to solve the problems and try not to repeat the same mistakes again. 

To my fellow audience, family and friends.....
1. What mistakes had I done wrong in this scene?
2. Do you think I had done something wrong? Am I wrong? Yes or No?
3. On the other hand, do you think everything will be "PERFECT" in human life's?
4. Also, people will not survive even if they are not perfect?

"You must always make sure everything are perfect and perfectly done in your life's or else you will never survive in your life's!!! "
5. Do you think this statement is acceptable?


Please give me feedback base on this case and also your point of view.
Thank you.

Justice

In hotel line, no matter it is your managers or the guests faults, they are always right and you will be blammed.

But, even if they blame you, try not to make yrself apologize to them because you know it is their fault and it is not your fault. Instead, don't apologize but just commencing that you will make it better next time or changes.

As for my experience, I always tell this to my closest friends or trusted colleague:

"It doesn't mean that I am not pissed off if I don't say anything!"

This actually means that although I don't say a word or being rude to a person when they insulted me, assulted me physically or mentally, but it also doesn't means that I am not angry or pissed off with them.

Among people's and justices, nothings is fair out there. Indeed, we must always know how to protect ourself but also mind about other people feelings as to avoid troubles and problems.

we must always achieve tolerancy and patients towards our coworkers, managers, friends or anyone out there, but don't allow them to overcross your limit in almost everything, or else they will always take opportunity on you.

Internship progress at Hotel Savoy Baur en Ville Zuerich

Things are changing, times are flowing, memories are growing, workload are getting more, and winter is also coming.

At the beginning of the Internship, everything was new to me, I don't even know a thing in the working place because I was new. But, I believe I will learn and know about it when time comes.
It wasn't too hard to work here, not too busy, crazy, insane, complicated but just hectics at the beginning.

As time passed, I learned more and more things and almost knowing what to do all the time because I am doing it everyday. Indeed, those things turned into boredom because everything is the same and nothing new to be learned. As I worked here for almost 2 months, I realized that the most hardest people to face is the hotel managers and directors but not the guests.

Somehow, why does people's being so hard to be learned? Characteristic, personality, temper, manners, etc.....................

In the hotel, I experienced many type of different people here although I am here for just 2 months plus, such as weirdo, rich, average, crazy, impolite, psychotic, etc.
There are some quests that being very polite and kind to us, but there many crazy and weirdo rich guests out there that act weird and demanding unknown requests.
Perhaps, different guests from different countries determined they characteristic and manners sometimes.

I don't really like the procedures and some of the staff over here. In fact, there are no standard procedure to follow from time to time, rule and regulation are set as a reference but not as a principal, while pilferage's would be a major things that I can see the most happening in the hotel without any control by the staffs.

Recently, the hotel suddenly turned from an average occupancy into a full occupancy rates. Thing turned into whole lots busier than before while it would be a challenge that I need to face regarding to my backache problem which dragging be behind the speed.

Now, my progress is currently on the 2.5/6 months of my internship, I really can't wait till the moments I say "Ciao Hotel Savoy, I will never come back again" towards the end of this internship and go home.

Love Argument.........

Today, my dear dear called me and asked me something about the past, for awhile later, that topic is abit too complicated until we make it become an argument again in the end.

Dear dear, is things that happened before in the past matters us in our relationship?
We both had done something to each other which is unhappy before, but do we really really need to make this an issue again? Do you really wanted to live in the past again?

Ever since we are together again, I've changed alot and tried everything to make everything better, isn't what I had done for you are trying to fix our problems and enhance our relationship?


Dear dear, the past is not important anymore, we must always look into the future and don't always look back and fall behind.....
There are many things that we need to face in the future and not the past.

Friendship or Money?

What do you think is more important? Friendship or Money?

In my opinion, althrough "Money" is very important in our daily life's, but still "Friendship" is more important than "Money".

In fact, you can buy whatever you want, but you can't buy a friendship with someone who really cares about you through his/her heart, but just money I suppose.

I don't really want to say much about this, because my conclusion is that "Friendship" was something that is important in my life's and I appreciate all friends that I had in my life's.

Guys, if I had ever say or done something wrong to you before in life's, please forgive me.

Internship in progress

Finally, I got 2 days off after working 4 days in the hotel....

Gosh, it is so horrible to stay here, especially when there are no internet provided in the hostel where the hotel provide which cost CHF 350 per month.....

Gosh, Meal are not provided, each lunch meal in the hotel for the staff is CHF 11 and dinner is CHF 5.50....

Well, I rather spend CHF 11 in McD than eating in the hotel for lunch, the meal is rather small.....

Also, internet are not provided in the staff hostel, and i only found that I can go online at public area like McD or Starbuck.... even so when I am writting this, I am in McD actually....


Sigh, it's gonna take another 6 months before I can go back to Malaysia.....
I wish all this will be done asap and I wanted to go back to Malaysia....

I will stop writting here, wish to be fine and complete this within the speed of lighting.

It's been a long and hard day again.....

I wonder why the dentist need to take nearly 3 hours just to deal with one of my teeth....

It is like rinse, then drill, apply medicine and take off the nerve as the nerve of that tooth had already infected and lastly, cover it back wo....
But, does it really need to take about 3 hours that long?

During the process, I opened my mouth till the max I could for that 3 hours....
After it is finished, my mouth become so stretchy and it is so painful even just to talk....

It is a even more interesting part when comes to the bill, it costs CHF 414.75 just for that one tooth treatment and the other day were CHF 160.50.

Sooner I will need to do another treatment that gonna cost another CHF 1,000.00 as to keep that dead tooth.... it is called something like "Root Canal" treatment? I'm not sure.

Sometimes, I really feel funny with myself, all sort of health related problems start occuring when I came to an expensive country...."Switzerland"

Haha, I wish I will be healthy and stronger when my internship started.

May god bless me. =)

18th of June 2010 - X-Ray Scan on back ache issues

Today, I went for a X-Ray Scan and checkup for my back aches issues since 4 months ago.

The result shows that my sacrum skeleton have some problem. The left side is normal, but the right side had something wrong on it.

This back ache issue started since 4 months ago after one of my collegue throw a hard ice (as hard as a rock) to my back during winter time, I hardly stand and walk for a period of time after that incident. Now, I finally went for a checkup on my back ache issues because it has been bothering me to sleep uncomfortably recently and also it had making an issues for me to stand and walk. Then, the doctor suggested me for a X-Ray Scan on my pelvis part, which including the sacrum part that I feel unconfortable unusually. Hence, the result of the X-Ray Scan shows that the right side of my sacrum had some problem in the shaping because the shape is not in order.

The doctor suggest to me see a few more bone experts/doctors before I made any decision on this issues, either to do some long-term streching or operation.

Oh God, I really had no idea what should I do now.

May god bless me.

Graduated

16th of June 2010,
I am finally graduated with a 2nd Class Honour Degree in Hotel and Tourism Management.
I wanted to smile today, but I can't do it naturally, and I faking myself to be happy in the picture to make myself look nice on the graduation day. But my feeling back there is I just want to hide in the toilet and cry as much as I can and go back to my own home.

I am supposingly to be happy, right?
But the truth is, I am not, I don't feel any joy, happiness, fun, or satisfaction since I was studying in Switzerland 6 months ago till today, as I am graduated.

You know what, I only feel proud of myself for trying my best to study so hard, push and forcing myself to do my best till the moment I go up to the stage and get my Certificate.

The only thing that I feel happy is the moment I went to Lausanne to visit my aunty friend, Aunty Ann which is working there. Although I just went there for 2 days 1 night, but what I get is the careness and family warmness which I had back in Malaysia.

I wonder what is wrong with me after I came to Switzerland, I duno who am I anymore, I've lost myself, I had become a very undecisive and confidentless person.

There are always funny feeling in our life's, when I am at home, I always feels like going out, but when I am far far away from home, I just wish I could back to my own home and never go out again.

I told myself, it is time to grow up already, but I am, it is just that, I wish to grow up with my family, because I love my family and I wanted to be at home. I rather had my mum that always nagging at me when I am always with my laptop, outing till midnight, being lazy and ignorance.
I hate the feeling of no people caring for me, being lonely, no people chatting with me or when the time I am lost.

I don't know how long more I can last staying in Switzerland, as in another 2 weeks time, I will need to start my internship from 1st of July till the end of December 2010. I really really hope I can finish all this shit as soon as possible so that I can be back to Malaysia.

Mom and Dad, I hate Switzerland!!! I wish I could never ever ever ever ever come back to Switzerland if there are nothing important. I'm sorry for telling you this, but seriously, I am really really unhappy staying here. Studying here for better qualification is never a wrong choice, but it is somehow a very very bad moment in my Life's. To be honest, it is better if neither of you don't come to visit me here because I really really hate this place more than anything else.

Dad, I really really understand how you feel on your working enviroment and situation, as it is, I really really do my best till I graduated today because I've never wanted to fail you and I want to make you happy and achieve something for myself.

Dad, I seriously appreciate on what you've taught me till this age, and I love you.
Mom, I seriously wish to have you nagging at me all the time and never seperate between me and you.
Sis, I don't mind if you could be better than me, but I just hope to see you to be success in the future and yet you are still respecting me as you elder brother.
Bro, I realy wish you know what is right and what is wrong, don't always play computer and ignore your studies, games will never brings you any profit for your future. Anyhow, I do care and wish you all the best. Study hard.
Gupo, besides supporting me finacial on behave, you do always teach me what is right and what is wrong, but somehow, not everything could be absorbed into me. You treat me well and take good care of me all the time.
Dear Dear, I'm sorry that I had to be seperated with you for a year as to study here and work here in Switzerland. But my soul and love are always with you even we are not in the same place.

Dad, Mom, Sis, Bro, Gupo and Dear Dear, I love you all more than anyone else.
I really wanted to back to Malaysia and never seperate with you all ever again.

When I am writting this letter, I am writting it with full of memory and tears.

When a child is at home, the child will always want to go out,
When that child is far far away from home, the child will rather stay at home and never go out.

A poem to my dear dear

When a true love is built,
The love will lead it out of diffculties.
When difficulties arise,
There are always answers to the solution,
When a couple had argument,
It could because the love each other.
When disaster strike the land,
The land will always back to normal when times come.
WHen harmony enhanced the swan,
The love will always be even harder than diamond.
When blue moon shine among stars,
The mars are once beautiful again.
When it come to the end of the day,
It will begin a better tomorrow.
When distances come to out love,
It will never be a reason that will seperate us.
When dear dear are together with lao gong,
We shall always appreciate what we are.

Life's......

Studying in Swiss for qualification had never been a wrong decision....

But not with the living here.... Boring!!!

Although I feel stress when studying back in KDU College at Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, but I do have fun with all the friends that I have around and the course make me feel more challenging.

Besides, I have my family, Apple, my best friends JC, Jae, Jay, WS, Bra Man, Sam, Richie, my foundation year friends and colleague, all my KDU College mate and everyone of them I know in Malaysia.....

Today, it is a day before my exam, and after this exam, I will be here during the whole period of June having holiday perhaps... or maybe just walking around the lake, sitting in front of my computer playing FaceBook Poker, chatting with anyone that's free....
Life's here are either expensive or boring. =(

My training are going to start on 1st of July 2010 at Zurich in a 5 star hotel.....

I wish I will finish everything here as soon as possible.....WHY?

Because I missed my friend's and family and I wanted my life's back in Malaysia!!!

Getting Started in Swiss - January 2010

Highlight:
Things neve be easy at first when I reach Switzerland.
But then, things is getting on and on which I have to bear with it until I am used to it.


Stories:
I start to miss my dearest family & girlfriend when I reach the airport of Switzerland in Zurich.

After awhile, the driver from IMI has arrived in the entrance of Zurich Airport and ready to pick us up with an old Mercedez-Benz van. XD

As it is, the weather during that time is very very cold as I can even feel the temperature is attacking my skin!!!

After uploading all our luggages into the van, we took about one and a half hour to reach IMI in Kastanienbaum, Luzern.

to be continued.......
