They're Not Just Customers, They're Guests

hello, i'm Priscilla.

i'm halfway through my university's inter-session break. i have about 2 months left till the time comes when i need to start attending classes again.

so.....it's now my third week working. ^-^ coming to think of it, it has been quite challenging yet interesting. it's my first time ever to work in my life & it's a job that revolves around customer service. just the idea of needing to perform a task for a job can be a little intimidating for me, especially since i have Z-E-R-O experience or formal knowledge in what i'm currently required to do. sometimes, i can't help but to care about what people have to say about my actions & capabilities. i don't like being bad at anything. who does, right? right?? at the same time, i keep in mind that people can think however they want & their perceptions aren't necessarily the utmost truth. so, it's all good. :D however, being the AB-blood type that i am, i tend to have alternating mood from day to day, or week to week, or so on. i can be happy-go-cutie :p one moment, then the next day, i can be fairly uptight & jumpy. it's kind of random. but it's normal, no worries. ^^v working on it, though. trying to be a better person each day. :)

for my friends (or relatives) who are wondering, i'm working part time at Hilton Kuching's Waterfront Cafe as a waitress. honestly, i felt like a bidan terjun, if you know what i mean. LOL.. on-the-job training was given during my first week. in fact, it's ongoing even till this day. of course, right? duh... :D we shall provide "Hilton experience" to the guests. oh BTW, the meaning behind "Hilton" is Hospitality, Integrity, Leadership, Teamwork, Ownership, & New. (erm...to dear workmates who are reading this, IF i got any of those wrong, please disregard it & tell no one. OK? i'm trying hard to remember what Abg Nabi taught us on the first day. but then, i can be forgetful. i might heard it wrong too. sorry~ maaf~ mianhamnida~ sumimasen~)

morning shift (0700 - 1630)

afternoon shift (1400 - 2330)

love you all...see 'ya!

Lucky Lucky Me!

BEAST is currently having their 1st Asia Fanmeet Tour. their first destination was KL, Malaysia. the Malaysia fanmeet was held on July 1st at Sunway Lagoon's Surf Beach. the organisers for the fanmeet in Malaysia were Star Planet & FlyerVision. Imagine TV Network (ITVN) was the official online TV for this fanmeet tour. just like any other events, contests were carried out with tickets to the fanmeet as the prizes. ITVN divided the contest into 3 parts. for each part, participants were required to answer 3 questions & send in their particulars through e-mail to ITVN. according to ITVN, winners were chosen daily based on who had answered correctly AND sent in their particulars. so, i assumed that everyday, for as long as the contest period was on, they selected the first 2 or first 3 who fulfilled the simple requirements. so, i tried my luck & took part in all 3 parts of the contest. hold on...let me copy my e-mail entries for every part.

i didn't win the 1st part...no biggie...didn't win the 2nd part...fair enough.....couldn't care less about the 3rd part ('cos it was to be announced on June 13th, which happened to be my first day of working at Hilton Kuching's Waterfront Cafe as a part-timer. i need to post another blog entry about this one. later. maybe.).....but as i got back home from a tiring yet interesting day, i found out that i was one of the winners for Part 3 contest! only God & i know how mixed up my emotions were. exhausted + confused + motivated + shocked + in pain (of aching arms & legs..hihi...) + grateful = ??? somebody, tell me!




i didn't get to go to the fanmeet in KL, though. i cancelled my trip at the last minute. don't ask why...don't want to talk about it. but life goes on~ ^^v


now...
there's another contest for another event. this time, the event is MTV World Stage 2011, scheduled to be held at i-City, Shah Alam, Malaysia on July 24th. Twisties is one of the sponsors. Twisties Malaysia on Facebook posted the question of the contest on their wall on July 4th. i happened to be online that afternoon. it was a few hours before my work shift started & i was just chilling in front of the laptop.

Twisties Contest : Yooo Irretwistable-lites.... The moment you have been waiting for starts NOW!!! Try to name FOUR of Twisties "IRRETWISTIBLE" flavours - the first 20 people to correctly answer this shall win a pair of MWS passes. Please ensure that your account is viewable by the public. Thank you!

when i saw the question, i thought "what the heck...why not give it a try?" so, i went to Twisties' official website to search for the answer. i typed out the answer as quickly & as accurately as i could. i wasn't being so hopeful 'cos many had already answered by the time i gave out my answers. but what i learned is, when you've got nothing to lose, just go on & spare that few minutes to try your luck. no pressure.



after i submitted my answer, i went to the kitchen to make myself some Maggi (too bad there was only chicken flavour left) as i was hungry. i cooked 2 packets of that instant noodle. =p it was A LOT. my youngest sis was startled to see my plate. xD i got back to the laptop & refreshed the page, only to find out this:



it...felt.....wow..~ i know this sounds like a cliche, but i couldn't believe that i had won. :') i'm so thankful. very very thankful..

we'll see what happens next. peace~
