Aaaaand my leave's ending in a few hours. Gonna go back to my french twist, uniform (albeit pretty sexy) donning days heh. Not that I'm dreading it or anything. I guess I've already gotten used to life like that. Not the most cushy job but at least you get a sense of satisfaction and achievement whenever you make the lives of your guests easier with your actions. But I guess this internship also gave me a glimpse into what life might be like if I were to remain in the frontline. And I guess, it's become pretty clear to me where my interest does not lie (at the very least) hahaha. Frankly speaking, I do not consider myself pampered or an apt representative of the Gen Y model (aka 温室里的小花 or someone who hails from 草莓一族) but I guess I just don't feel comfortable constantly being at the beck and call of guests, especially those who do not have a sense of who they are and where they're at. While the job satisfaction you receive is immense, you would still have to sieve through a lot of crap before you actually attain what you want to hear/see. And I just dont think I'm as patient and well mannered as I think I am to be able to tolerate this for the rest of my life.
I guess this job is rather mundane and less interesting as I thought it would be. We have to constantly work in tandem with everyone in the department, follow up for others, make sure others follow up for us. Nothing is considered 100% our own. We are all merely part of a single service-providing body.
I believe I'm very much an own time own target person. I work very independently. as much as I am comfortable working in groups, I like to have room for individual expression, rather than being told what to do the whole time. Please don't get me wrong. I don't think they are mutually exclusive at all. I mean working in groups enables a division of labour, and a place where a diversity of ideas comes together. That's perfectly fine with me. and for me, that's where group work kinda ends. We go on to do our own stuff and shine at what we do best. Then come back together again to piece everything together, if need be. This as opposed to somebody constantly breathing down my neck. Telling me to go just one direction - her direction - which I might not even agree with 100%. and I guess this is why I don't see myself thriving in the Front Line. But that being said, I have still being enjoying my time at work. 2 more months and I'm not complaining or anything. I mean it's an internship after all. I'm meant to learnt from this experience. So learn I have.
I need to start camwhoring more. My fb and blog lacks photos. but sigh, I kinda regret my haircut now and I dont like taking photos as much LOL. oh well:/ anyway, did I mention that I recently discovered DOUBLE SIDED double eyelid tape?! omg! I seriously never knew such things existed. Really makes a lot of difference, as compared to when I first used those single sided ones that had a shiny reflective surface. ewww. Now, you don't even see the tape at all. It's like the double eyelid glue! I am so amazed! Probably gonna buy more when I pass by Sasa:)
