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?
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.
