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. .

How it taste like. . For me lah. .

Kurma-this one not my cup of milo (i dont drink tea). I prefer ripe kurma with all the juicy flesh instead of this one,crunchy with a bit of kelat kelat. . .
Cherries-this i like
Raspberries -taste like hand lotion , conditioner , shampoo ,body shop etc..you get the idea. .

Yummy minicakes Dcuppylicious

. . .really nice. . Nope,wrong choice of word. . How to say..... Hhhmmmmmmm. . . YUMMMYYYY. . .slowmo yummy. .wholehearted yummy. . . . U know when you look at it and your mind and tastebud start jumping around like Tom chasing around Jerry, with pan on its hand, trying to guess how does Jerry tastes like. . This cute bigforacupcake cakes has these kind of effect on me. . when i first saw the pic on dcuppylicious page, i macam "makkkkkkk, lamaknyaaaaa tunggu next week........"as the page owner was not around so have to wait for few more days. .And the pics keep hunting my mimpi siang and malam. . Imagine have to bear it for few days!! (Just imagine those kids who want something but their parent unable to give them...this maybe how they feel. . Kasian owh...insaf mode)

Anyway...finally the order is open and i ordered six, three red velvet with cheese topping and three classic choc. . .excited over the whole thing, once i received my order from kak Yun, i kept on sniffing the cakes... Aduiii. . .droolling just by remembering the smell. . Susah ni. .

The taste? Hhhmmmm. . Two thumbs up. . If can toes also up. . .these two cakes definately goes into my yummy list, and its hard, reallyyyyy hard to be listed inside my yummy list. .

The redvelvet, i dont know how to describe. . Its how red velvet should taste like, not like others yang just do red velvet but omitting one or two ingredients that make great different in its taste. . My first redvelvet tasted similar like this before, so the expextation is high everytime i tried rv. .lots tried to make rv but the effect was not there. . , Not even SB or CBTL can make me say "ooooooooohhhh" over their rv. . This rv, i said nothing. .cos so busy indulging. . .then baru said "wahhhhhhhhh nice owh. "

And the classic choc. . .aduiiii. . .even now rasa want to go to the kitchen have a taste of it again , have to really restrain myself. . . .droollingggggg. . . I cant explain. . Sedap. . Really moist and rich. . And gooeeeyyy. .and sticky. . And yummy. . Aduiiiii. .

Aiyo better tidor, if not i will find myself in the kitchen with spoon in my hand. .
