Being in the business for two years now, i am now rethinking if i did indeed come into the correct course for the set of my future career as an adult.... wait... i am already an adult... (YAY!!!) The hospitality line is indeed a vibrant career line where there are just so many different job opportunities with so many different scopes.... lets say you were working in the F&B department for x months... then you can be directly transferred to the front office department or the sales and marketing department which provides a same old brand new environment of the old place but new work scope....

One day i was like sleeping in the bus... then i awoke and saw hougang.... suddenly, i thought of many other things that one can do... apart from being in this industry... True... one could definitely find jobs and excel in this industry... but the question is actually.. how many can do so..... i found myself to be in the wrong course for my future career as i realizzed how much i wanted to be in the media industry or in something to do with that... Rather, something which could entertain people... here is where the games industry comes in....

Yes, you may say that i am probably in my dreams and aspirations that a child would have but one should realise the reality of things.... not to say that this industry would be full of the perfect things.... the media and gaming industry i mean.... Personally, i like to take on challenges... i keep taking them on as it comes along... this is how i really learn in life and how i can actually keep up with the pace of life where i can fully experience, enjoy and most importantly, feel alive....

The Hospitality and tourism industry is really a dynamic industry to go into... However, personal feelings and thoughts have led me to think that this is one industry that i would hopefully stay away in the future... Well, things are always complicated and contradicting... but that is probably what i am feeling now...

Why i feel this way?

Firstly, i've kind of seen a little too much on life in the hospitality industry... its a little too boring.... with the exception of rare... and i really do mean rare events that happen in the course of your work which will be a new challenge to you, basically what you would be doing during the full course... well, the major course of your career would be with doing the same thing over and over again.... Given my personality, i somehow dislike doing the same things over and over again.... its sometimes sick to my stomach... Such as banqueting.... i've been really tired and sick of doing the same thing.... serving the same type of food.... providing the service to my guests.... well, i do always challenge myself for my guests whom i serve to write me a good complimentary card everytime i do serve them which i kind of get every now and then if they are expressive enough.... But this is the only delight i can forcefully derive from the work that i do.... Providing a level of service and anticipating what they want to keep them delighted are always my goal... such as brandy with sharks fin's soup... if they are generally an older crowd, i would get them and they would always be pleasantly delighted with my actions.... Playing around with my guests are always fun as i do get to communicate with them and not simply stare at them and serve them emotionlessly as i serve them their food.... Such communication is always fun for me...


Well, despite all the complaining... i can only sit back and think about where can i go possibly into the future and how far i can branch out into the industry.... Sales and marketing in the hotel line? maybe? i do not know.... Hopefully, i can get to furthur my studies overseas and get a good look on life.... that will expand my horizons and enable me to see more, do more and of course, experience more.... Well, this is what i hope during the span of my short few years alive in this world before i go off in peace... (HOPEFULLY!!!) =D

Shall go back home and slog out my life together with my new IBM laptop which does not possess the best appearance qualities among the industry's leading laptop models today... but oh well, its good enough to even use it.... =D

Will blog more when i feel like it!!!! as usual!!! =D

Mesmerized within time...
