Appraisal
Went for gym training in the morning. The first time I'm going for training in 2 weeks. I'm afraid that my stamina is badly affected after not training for so long.
Fabian was in a bad mood today. Like something went wrong, and Ding Yong wasn't around too. Seems like the teacher forgot about us and we couldn't use the gym or something.
So in the end, we did a little bit of circuit training and just some sit-ups, burpees, pull ups and dips. Quite a slack training today.
I went to shower later and went to Parkway to eat KFC for lunch.
Then I went to Conrad to get my lobby lounge appraisal. Me and Aishu were supposed to meet Lilian cos I wanted to talk to her regarding her job. I'm interested in hotel management and I just wanted to know more about the industry and what I should study.
In the end, Aishu was late and she left very soon so she only had a drink with us and didn't get to meet Lilian.
Instead, Feng Sheng cam along to get the Conrad chop for the appraisal. Since Aishu was late, we went to walk walk and see his friends from Oscar's. When Aishu finally came, Lilian said she'll only be free at 3pm so we had to wait for 1 hour. We went to eat roti prata, but only Feng Sheng ate. Then, Aishu left.
The 2 of us went to meet Lilian. And although she didn't know Feng Sheng, she was very nice and friendly. She told us about lots of stuff. It's really useful cos I used to think that if I got a business or hotel management degree, I would be able to do the same jobs. Turns out that's not the case. She was a little long winded though, told us loads of examples. But it was very useful nonetheless. We spent one whole hour talking to her. I think she's so nice to talk to us for so long!
One thing though, she said that I didn't smile enough. I was quite surprised cos I thought I smiled quite a lot. Haha... I don't know. Maybe I felt stressed talking to the guests that I didn't realise I wasn't smiling. I tend to do that. Haha... It was like a more detailed form of my appraisal. But I was glad that I did quite well overall. Though I was a teeny weeny disappointed that her appraisal of me wasn't that good.
We finished talking at about 4.15pm and I was supposed to have my dental appointment at 4.30pm. I was definitely going to be late. I called NDC and they said Dr Woo has 3 other patients after me, so she wouldn't be able to see me if I was late. Looks like I'll have to reschedule. Haiz... This is already the second time I'm postponing my dental appointment. Hope I don't have to keep postponing, if not I'll never get these braces off!
