At Horizon Club, finally. Tapi tiba2 pengen jadi GRO di lobby bawah...ahaha. Sungguh tidak tetap hatiku ini. Dengar2 jadi GRO jauh lebih menyenangkan daripada di executive floor yang yaaah..begitu laaah...sebut saja executive.

Aku merasa kayak udah lama banget aku mulai kerja di Shangri-la. Jalan yang aku lewati tiap hari sekarang sudah ga begitu membingungkan...sudah hafal semuanya. Dan langkah kaki inipun terasa ringan :) People who work in hotel walk in a super duper fast pace for sure... Bener2 cepeeeeet, beda 1 ato 2 detik aja, kalo orang itu udah menghilang di balik tikungan, aku udah ga bisa lihat bayangannya lagi di lorong berikutnya...ckckck. Aku yang jalannya paling cepet di antara temen2 laen masih belom bisa menghilang dalam waktu 1 ato 2 detik itu..hahaha... Moga2 dalem waktu beberapa bulan aku udah bisa jalan super duper fast haha.

Makin lama makin ga jelas isinya entry ini apaaa.... lastly, aku seneng bangeeeeet besok masuk siang!! Ini berarti aku bisa begadang sampe maleeeem...dan bangun siaaaaaaaaang banget hahaha.... *dasar maleeees*

Sedikit menyesal kenapa harus mulai kerja tgl 1 Juli siiih... Setelah aku jalani berapa hari, I'm mentally and physically not ready :(

July 2, 2009
I was super blissed out. I didn't believe my eyes when I read the text on my phone, the text sender' name ^________^

Mereka yang kupikir bakal nanyain kabarku malah ga nanya...eh, malah dia yang aku pikir sudah pasti lupa dan aku bahkan sampe ga berharap dia inget...malah nanyaaaaa!!! Ga nyangka bangeeeeet!! huhuhuhu.......Ga nyangka..betul2 ga nyangkaaaaa... gyahahahaha.

Thank's to that person coz no matter how simple it was for others, actually it meant a lot for me =)

That night I fell asleep with a BIG SMILE on my face.............................after shed some sad tears

Currently listening : Roll It - Shontelle

Today we had test to evaluate what we had already understood so far in last 3 days in general FO training. The test was all about the product knowledge such as floor plan, room rate, room type, blah blah blah, etc. And the result of the test will determine to which outlet we suit for.

Did I ever mention before that I actually was placed at Horizon Club? Prestigiously indeed. But for its prestigiousness, the guests are more fussy and demanding than the other guests who stay at ordinary rooms. At first, I was not really interested to be placed here. Frankly speak, I don't really care with the prestigious status of that floor, I just wanted to be a GRO at lobby with my friends. However, as the time goes by, I could accept the decision of my manager. Whatever happens, happens. Moreover, I can learn a lot at Horizon.

Nevertheless, 2 days ago, the Director of Room asked our trainer that why 8 Petra students assigned to GRO? Looks like he misunderstood, because 1 at business centre, 2 at Horizon, 4 as GRO, and 1 at back office. Then he told the trainer that he would like to reassign the job desc. Oh great, somehow I strucked when I heard that, I felt all afraid in sudden. Will I be moved to other outlet?? I kept saying in my mind that I don't want to be GRO, don't want at all. I don't feel like to be GRO now or later. I'm not that good at chit chatting, ok, actually is bullshitting to some guys I don't really know. Everytime the trainer said something about GRO, I felt like that they looked deeply into my eyes.... I became more afraid, I knew that I would be GRO!! T.T

I really hope that I will stay still at Horizon......please don't make me go other place, wearing that pinky uniform again! hahaha. One factor that I also don't want to be GRO, the uniform is hot pink!! hahaha... you know, in order to get every eyes on us. Horizon's unifrom is much better and more stylish :)

After all, wherever I will be placed at, just let it be the best and wish me good luck so that I can do the best effort I can with all my heart and sincerity to delight the guests huahahaha.......

over and out.

Hari pertama training di Shangri-La. Ternyata masih kelas kecil gitu, buat product knowledge. Tapi asik kok, ga terlalu serius2 gimana trainernya kalo nerangin.


Tadi pagi dateng bareng ama Lina, jam 08.45, waktu mau ambil uniform di valet ternyata uniform biru FO nya abis katanyaaa..trus kita disuruh pake atasan biru FO nya yang buat cowo..yaiiikkss. Entah kenapa tiba2 ga jadi dikasi itu, n ditawari uniform pink nya GRO. Yah much better daripada pake baju cowo lah! Aku baru nyadar kalo roknya ga layak pakai setelah aku coba di locker, ak liat itu rok belahannya sobek jaitannya sampe atas! Makanya aku heran, nih rok kok belahan tinggi banget yaaa....so sexy huahaha..pikirku nih sengaja kali ya mentang2 GRO gitu makanya dikasi rok yang belahannya ga aturan.. ga taunya itu sobek sampe atas T.T huhuhu...dah gitu roknya kepanjangaaaan.. (ya maklum...ga tinggi siihhh saya), jadi keserimpet2 kalo jalan... memalukan, semogaaaaa tidak akan pernah jatuh keserimpet rok sendiriii......

Currently listening : It's Too Late - Mimi Lo

Transformer this...Transformer that... every status on facebook keep updating about Transformer. How those people queue to get the tickets...how the end of the film is not really good... aarrrghhh... stress tau bacanya....

Soalnya aku ga ikut2an fenomena transformer ini...aku ga liat yang pertama dan ga liat yang kedua..dan ga ada niatan nonton, biarpun udah banyak yang ajak2..tetep saya ga mau nonton. Kalopun dipaksa ini film must see...wes, tak beli deh dvd bajakannya..nonton di rumah...pake komputer aja......wakakaka....

Aku ga suka liat film2 gitu...pusing...!!

1. I consider myself as perfectionist and some of my friends also agree with that.

2. The animal I hate the most is snake!! It disgusts me to the max... One time, my friend wanted to scare with a little unpoisonous snake I cried hysterically and someone said that my face had already turned so pale and I was almost lost my conciousness. I even feel dizzy if I see snake on magazines or TV.... you see how bad it affects me.

3. I'm such a great procrastinator. I've never done any of my tasks on the day it's been given...except for some things such as daily reports. And I've always done my assignments 1 day before the due date. You know, I'm a last minute person...very last minute.

4. I can't get fat..no matter how many foods I eat...how many vitamins or china pills I take in order to gain my weight. I just can't.

5. But I lost my weight easily... :D be jealous, haha!

6. I've ever climbed my house fence which about 2 meters just because there was only my lil bro at home and he didn't have the key..sounds weird? yeah...my mom locked him up when she was away and she left the key to my neighbor who didn't notice that I had came home. I didn't really care it was midday and some people watched me excitedly.

7. When I was around 9 or 10, I liked to climb my roof and had a nap there :)

8. I have a kinda weird obsession, I like to collect anything that comes in a set or series. Such as novels, towels, stationeries, games, cute korean made notebooks, sony products in pink (!!), hair products, etc.

9. Being far away from home is my ultimate dream since I was a kid.

10. The first reason why I chose Hotel Management major is because I thought I would have to learn many languages, I mean those languages were obliged to be learned...I was so wrong, cause I only need to take 1 language I desire in order to graduate. I love to learn languages eventhough I don't really master any of it.

11. I have difficulties in cutting. Whether it's a paper or fabric or even vegetables and meats... I'm so suck at cutting. It never goes straight and neat.

12. I really hate it when people think that I'm good at cooking just because I got food product course at school. Damn it, i hate cooking! I hate being in the kitchen! It's just not my nature. And I even more hate it when they assume me took this major because I love to cook or I love culinary things.

13. Additional for the fact on no.12, when I was a kid, I had always thrown up when I got near the kitchen. So that's why I won't have a passion on cooking.

14. I always read newspaper or comics when shitting also when eating. It makes me feel so uneasy if I don't read anything. Although, actually I don't really read it.

15. People always meet difficulties in spelling my name or remembering my name! And I hate it when I have to repeat my name over and over again...gee, it's ZERLINDA!! How come it can be Ferlisa or Berlinda or Selina (I'm not S.H.E member!) or Erlina.

16. I don't like people address me as LINDA. It's not my name. And I won't respond if you call me LINDA, coz I never think that LINDA is my name. Too many LINDA in this world, just call me in a different way, will you?

17. When all my friends sitting nicely in front of their TV watching infotainment, you can always find me browsing the net. I just don't like to watch stupid programs like those. What's the point of gossiping people you don't really know in real life?? And I don't even give a shit to what they do or what they've done or about their divorces or about their affairs....

18. I promised myself not to cry anymore, but I broke the promise weeks ago. I cried not because I was sad, I felt the pain of betrayal.

19. I went to a night club for the very first time in my life when I was 19.

20. I can go home as late as I want as long as I'm with girl friends.

21. I love karaoke so much!

22. I can drive a car but I don't have a lisence :D

23. Nobody can keep a secret from me, I don't know why I have always found out what they keep from me.

24. I want a bouquet of 21 white roses on my birthday :)

25. I'm not a nice girl who I thought I was...

.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than be loved for who I am not.

June 12, 2009. 09.50 :
Lagi di jalan ke kampus. Mau ujian AM jam 10.30, belom belajar sama sekali n emang ga ada niatan belajar hahaha. Whatever happens, happens la sudah. Hoping that I would be seated near those who smart at accounting. Rencana sehabis ujian seh aku ikut Olive pulang soalnya ntar malem ada function FO shift 3, n Olive nemeni aku, jadinya daripada pulang ke rumah mending ke rumah Olive aja.

10.00 @ kampus :
Baca sms dari Selvy yang berbunyi "Zer, ntar kamu dipanggil ke Shangri-la jam setengah 4.", heee....kenapa juga baru dikabari sekarang sih...untung aku bawa jas FO (soalnya kalo mo interview harus pake seragam FO). Tapi seneng juga sih akhirnya dipanggil juga setelah menunggu seminggu. Jadi, rencana berubah...ga jadi ke rumah Olive.

15.10 @ Shangri-la lobby :
Zer : Mbak, mo ke HRD lewat mana ya?
Mbak-entah-siapa-namanya yang jaga di metal detector : Waduh, sampeyan keleru mbak, HRD ga ndek kene enggone. Sampeyan lurus ae sampe pojok kono, belok kiri.
Wondering.....mbak ini kenapa seh....anak baru? Kok jawab pake basa jawa gitu siih?? Iya emang sopan bilang sampeyan...tapiiiii...tetep aja.... is boso jowo itu standard language buat metal detector guy? Ya pengen ketawa juga tapi ya heran.....

15.20 :
Akhirnya ketemu Selvy dan Ce Selly.... kita jalan bareng ke HRD. Dari ballroom lurus aja mpe notok gitu, belok kiri, jalan lurus terus ampe notok lagi....trus ada lorong kecil d situ.... banyak orang keluar dan masuk. Di ujung jalan ada security post ama tempat check log nya staff. Kita dikasi access card warna ijo yang gede banget gitu...Trus tanya lewat mana sih ke HRD, semuanya cuman bilang ya turun aja dulu nanti ikutin jalan. Oh ternyata di Shangri-la ada basement nya toh...... jadi kita turun nih, n mulai pusing jalan ke mana soalnya semua keliatan sama...dinding abu2 di mana2.... untung ketemu deh HRD office nya. Kita langsung disuruh ke skill hall, interviewnya d situ.

15.35 :
Dipanggil giliran pertama ama training managernya. Takuuuuuuuuut...... Tapi pasang tampang PD dan profesional hahaha. One thing I know for sure, jangan duduk dulu kalo ga disuruh waktu diinterview.... Aku ga gitu inget lagi ditanyain apa..yang pasti interview ku ga sampe 5 menit. Dia orang bilang "Yah, saya kira tidak perlu melanjutkan interview dengan kamu lagi, karena english kamu bagus dan kamu quite knowledgable di FO." Mwahahaha....siiiiip!

16.30 @ FO Manager office :
Giliran diinterview sama FOM nya.... Aku dah harap2 biar dapet GRO. Eeeehh...taunya aku ditaruh di executive floor (yang ga tau executive floor : nih hotel dalem hotel, khusus buat apra VIP dan yang ngambil kamar di executive floor situ, tamu2 yang di situ ga check in check out di bawah seperti yang lain2 tp express check in dan express check out, dan lounge punya sendiri yang ga bole dimasuki tamu dari kamar non executive floor)....nah di executive floor itu aku bareng ama Mr.Lo. ADUUUUUUUH....!! Ga mauuuuuuu! Aku tanya bisa ga ntar2 aku dirolling ke FO yang bawah? Dia bilang ga bisa, 6 bulan aku harus d situ.... T.T katanya soalnya aku udah dapet semua2nya di executive floor jadi no need pindah2 FO bawah. Padahal pengen jd GRO bareng temen2...banyakan di GRO semua mereka. FOM nya pake bilang "tamu2 di sana lebih demanding daripada yang dari kamar2 lain...so, ekspetasi saya ke kamu juga lebih tinggi daripada ke teman2mu yang lain. Kamu di situ bisa belajar, bisa melihat bagaimana business people itu dan kenapa mereka demanding." Yaaah....makasi Bu..... semoga ini menjadi pengalaman tak terlupakan huahahaha.....
Setelah cerita2 sama temen yang juga hotelier, dia bilang "enak kan di executive floor, itu impian setiap hotelier bisa ditempatin di situ." Oyeee..?? harusnya aku seneng gitu yaa......? Yang bikin aku ga terlalu happy seh benernya karena temennya di situ cuman Mr.Lo itu... dan ga ada temen2 cewe laen..hiikkksss....

22.00 :
Jam 10 malem...udah di kampus lagi buat function FO...ternyata ga ada kerjaan juga functionnya... g ada log book..g ada wake up call request..bener2 ngangguuuurrrrrrr. Sempet cabut ke KFC baru di A.Yani... hahaha.

06.00 :
Bangun......semalem tidur di sofa...untung ga sakit semua leher ini. Mandi di kampus nih...soalnya jam 9 ke Shangri-la lageeee.... buat orientasi....

07.00 :
Shift function berakhirrrr......

08.30 :
Berangkat ke Shangri-la dari rumah.

09.00 :
Orientasi dimulai.....

11.00 :
Mulai ngantuk......diajak hotel tour..... astaga back of the house nya Shangrila ini bener2 gedeee yaaaaah....ga jelas kiri dan kanan itu apa.....banyak lorong...banyak pintu..banyak lift...aaarrgghh..ga inget sudahan........n bisa dipastiin ntar hari pertama kerja aku bakal nyasar!

14.30 :
Akhirnya berakhir juga orientasi putaran pertama....putaran kedua nya tgl 20 Juni ini..... Duh, ngantuk bangeeeet bangeeet...dah semaleman ga bisa tidur enak...n rasanya sejak kemaren itu ga berhenti2 aktivitasku. Di rumah cuma buat makan bentar..ga bisa tidur. Tapi jam 5 diajakin pergi ke Sutos....haiizz.....dah mulai malas......
Ternyata waktu di mobil, mama bilang ini mau langsung ke ITC.. aduuuhhh...kapan pulangnya...dah ga kuat nih mata..ngantuk beneeerrrr....

16.30 :
Baru sampe rumah akhirnya...dan memutuskan ga jadi ikut ke Sutos...hiks..padahal ini acara rame2 bareng anak2 hotel 06 lhooooh. Lagian aku dah ngantuk pooll...! G ada mobil juga jam 5 ntar...ya sudahlah......di rumah juga ga ada orang..semua pergi..anggep aja jaga rumah deh....


2 hari dalam hidupku yang bener2 melelahkan....rasanya ga berhenti2 dari satu tempat ke tempat laen n sebagian besar waktu aku abisin di jalan. Cappeeeeeekk...! Tapi nyenengin... hehe.
Apalagi udah ketrima training di Shangri-la.... seneng..karena deket rumah huahahaha. Benernya pengen di Sheraton..tapi buat apalah..yang deket rumah aja...haha. Aku udah ga mau mikir training2 di tempat laen lagi...ga mau di tempat2 jauh juga.....so, goodbye to Spore and Oman........ kayaknya ak emang ga siap untuk jauh dari rumah sekarang.
