Once upon a time

I miss my time as hotelier. . I've been cultivating the angan angan to work in the hotel since i was a teen.. Been traveling quite a lot at that time half across the globe , hotels has become part of me, and i really want to work at a hotel one day.. , and yes i became one. . Finish my degree and came back to miri, that was the worst mistake i ever done,career wise . .here in miri degree or diploma in hospitality are, can i said , as our head once put it .."toilet paper".. Why?when they offer you a job, in hotel, don't bother to show off your paper qualification..they wont look at it. . Maybe lah,with one eye only. .they prefer experience. . Which is not wrong either. . Gaji. .,? Same job in kl offered 2.7k starting. . Miri..? 650. . I dont understand why but i think they think hoteliers tak perlu makan tempat tinggal kereta minyak semua. . Im talking bout the rank and files level. . Managers level boleh put aside lah...i know we were warned last time that if we are looking for high gaji, so hotelier is the wrong choice of work, cos no they don't give you much in return. .but if you love the job,love serving customers and their need, so you wont mind. .but since at that time, still no commitment and still full of semangat, so i put the warning aside and went on with pride. . One thing about serving people, when you do it from your heart, you wont really care about the pay cos you'll be happy just by seeing your guest happy. . But as time goes by, your family expend, your commitment increasing everyday, then the thing you once enjoyed and do with pride has become a burden. . Im not talking about me, its general. . How many time has i heard my ex colleague telling me they are sending resumes, to other hotels or companies. . Main reason?low pay...i have calculated one of the staff gaji last time, and i sendiri drop my jaw. . How can he survive, with his kids in schools , going to further study also ada. .,i really don't know. . He has good com ,punctual, rajin and lots more. ,And liked and trusted by many guests.. .so its a lost to the hotel when he resigned and work with plantation company. .I am not saying to all tauke to increase ll the gaji , but at least they stop and think for a while . .if they were in their staff shoes,with the amount of gaji,can they even survive for a day?they prefer to lost a good staff , cos at the end it is still money and profit in their mind.. Quality of service given by their staff?i don't think they know...
And why am i blabbering this in the middle of the nite?not sure. . Me too , has made a decision to move on from the hotel world. miri... Its been more than three years, and thanks god everything went well . enjoy it cos i still got to serve and talk and layan customers which i love to do. . The only different is the environment. . I do miss hotels ambiance and the effect it give me every time i step in one. . And the smell. .and the polished floor.the grand foyer . The funny uniform, the pristinely pressed suits(which can make manusia paling selekeh bertukar menjadi paling hansem smart macam aaron aziz).in other word, i do miss becoming a hotelier. . Hhhmmmmm. .. Maybe if i just continue with JWMarriot last time, everything will be different. .

****please send a msg to hermione that i want to borrow her time turner necklace. .
