It's finally September and I cant believe i'm right now in Bangkok.
Thinking back to the days when i keep wishing time will pass faster so i could hurry be here and here i am, time flies. 💭
On a side note, I'm so glad I'm done with my first hotel. I mean i guess i just needed a good break from the work environment there. It's like the people there are really nice but it's like when you see such a work environment, you can't help but yearn for more, for better. I remember myself trying so hard to do my best to help whatever i could that i could myself feeling so overwhelmed and tire out by it. It's like your efforts suddenly seem so small and insignificant and at times, i always wonder if the higher management is aware of all these happening at our workplace. So much to say or rant, but i guess i should pass this phase. Days like this just makes me so glad I chose to stay on afterall, the past week here has been a good one so far (except my second dayoff where it wasn't really my day - fell after walking like what 10 steps from my hotel > phone screen protector cracked and best of all, phone with no service!!) Nonetheless, the other days were good.
It's funny how i thought i would be really homesick like the times when i was interning at Phuket, but this time it feels different. Maybe perhaps i was given a really good accommodation with stable network and so the thought that i could constantly contact with my loved ones made me feel safe. It's like you have this "worry-free" mentality right now when you know you have a roof over your head, food and internet to last for the eight weeks. To add on, the people here have been really nice and i'm so thankful for that. Thai hospitality indeed. But of course, it boils down to individual. However my stay for the past week has kind of opened my eyes to see the operations of this hotel and it just feels so different. The way operations are being run feels like you have something to look forward to at work, especially at the front office. Interacting just a couple of days and i could see myself looking forward to join the rest of the team on my fourth week. Everything just feels so in place for the first time, and deep down in my heart i just can't wait to see and feel this back at my first hotel.
Five more days and it's gonna be exactly six months for me in this organization, still can't believe i came this far. Honestly unsure of what's to come or what's in store for me come Mar 2019. It's like a whole new journey lies ahead and frankly speaking, I have no clue where i'll be by then. Sometimes, i really wonder how one can stay in the same company for so long and i sincerely admire those who stayed in the hospitality line for years or even decades. It's amazing to see their passion for service and for their work. 👍 i really hope to be like them, eventually. :-) That's why i always tell myself this is just the beginning, there's more in life to come. And whatever obstacles i've met along the way are just challenges given to me so that i can be a better person. God placed them there for a reason, because he knows i can and i will overcome it. Just recently thinking back to the support i've had from my family and friends, it's so encouraging and i'm just feeling so grateful for all these love. <3 font="">
I will come back as a better person, someone wiser, more patient, kind at heart and of course, someone who's pumped up to go all out for her dreams. I guess coming here reignite my passion to work in this hospitality industry and i'm glad i made it this far. :')
For now, shall just enjoy my time and also maximise my learning for the next 7 weeks.
