My First #1
Ive never slept so late b4 in my life. I broke the record here man. Sleeping late has become like a weekly affair. Every Saturday to be exact. Last night, my friends and I sang KTV til 1am in the morning and realized that taxi couldn't be found anywhere, so we walked all the way from town back to the quarters O.O a 30+ minutes walk in the midnight. It was so cold and dark, and luckily we took the main road that night coz if we were to use the shortcut that my other friends love to use, there would be some eerie happenings again and perhaps maybe in the room too? >.< (long story about that encounter, creepy, but thank God it was only 1 night, couldn't sleep after that night, too frightened) we got so hungry we ate and cooked Maggi in the room that night which was actually forbidden so this picture must be kept here until my other friends finish their training, or we will all get into trouble when management finds out.
My First #2
I gave my first time of singing K to my bunch of friends here :) they brought me there on my birthday after the quite "failed" attempt to surprise me hahaha but I played along, or their efforts would be in vain. But was still a bit surprise when the chef personally came out to deliver the cake lol
My First #3
It was also on my birthday night that I drove a car other than my car. I get really uneasy and nervous when I drive other ppls car. But that day dunno y, crazy or what, I offered to drive -.- got myself into my own mess. But yea I realized it wasn't that bad. After shaking for a distance of the journey, I got used to the car. Then after singing K til 12.30am my friend dropped my other friend back to her ulu quarters which the journey took 1 hour so I came back at 2 am. When I came back, my roommates were surprisingly still awake with 1 of my roommate having a fever. So all 4 of us drove out to look for a 24 hour clinic. We searched high and low and ended up asking for directions at the police station in the midnight. In the end we went to the hospital where she got her treatment (my goodness, medical fee only RM1 sia! Somemore 2 days MC, I want!!!) got ourselves supper at 3.00am at KFC and went back at 3.45am. I slept at 4.00am that day.
My First #4
Watching a show in the cinema u can call home and choose whichever seat u like and talk so loud and place your feet at the row of seats in front of you. Seriously the whole theatre was ours for the day. So big but only 4 of us. Epic. Nuff said.
My First #5
It's my first time doing practical training away from home. And I've learnt so much here about caring for others. I've experienced genuine hospitality during my stay here and wondered y didn't I extend hospitality like these to people back when I'm in KL. The generosity of the people I met here who took really good care of me.
The hospitality of a friend who lives in Langkawi, took us out almost every other week using his car, time and petrol knowing that we don't have a car and clueless about the place. He doesn't complain but in fact offered to bring us around. And I wonder how come I did not extend this sort of hospitality to him while he was still studying with us in KL. I'm ashamed.
To my roommate who on my first day here took me out shopping for daily essentials and over feeding me with information I loose the information the minute it enters. We barely knew each other but she took the courage to drive a stranger around town. I don't think I would have taken that step but after experiencing this, I would and might if the other party is willing of course.
Last but not least, the couple who fetches me to church every friday and church people I met here, showed me great hospitality as well. You will never know how a stranger feels unless u become one yourself. Everyone in the church greeted and welcomed me, they have so much to offer and not holding back, as long as u ask and it shall be given unto you. The Pastor even brought me and another trainee out to watch the sunset and spend us to dinner and send us all the way back to our quarters. He even opened up his house for us trainees to do our cooking there and bond. To the couple who always bring me to church, never complaining and always drop me back after service. And to think that I do murmur when I have to fetch someone for LG. I sort of understand how she feels now, I used to always have to follow up on whether she is going for LG and that sometimes annoys me, but when it is my turn to hitch a ride frm others I understand that sometimes it isn't your say to tell ppl to pick u up, it is up to the person whether they want to pick u up or not. So from now on I would text her early every Saturday morning to see if she needs transportation just like the old couple did to me. Good values to learn from.
And to think I study hospitality but in actual fact I know nothing. And there goes the first half of my internship here in Langkawi :/ time flies..
