bistro
Monday, August 22, 2005
Last saturday was my first time working at bistro delifrance. Im currently sent to TM bistro for training and how nervous i was at first. Not only do i not kno anyone there but i tout i'll be the onli one from my outlet will be there. But then wen i arrive, i could feel all eyes was on me .. which was scary but then saw my 'godsis' there. SO i felt a bit better. As the time passed, i suddenly felt sick. My nose wouldnt stop dripping, my throat hurts and i felt a bit feverish. But to my surprise, i stayed and survived. But as soon as i reach home, ate my febs and slept. Felt so much better the next day and had fun at work with my new found frens. =)
Made some frens there and compared there to parkway outlet, there is much much more malay peepz there. but i still love the ppl at parkway. hehe .. so for my 8 hours there, learnt the new beverages they offer, how the whole system of bistro works and the new menus available. The food there looks much more delicious but at the same time much much more expensive. Even so, there was so many customers. And those two days was my first time being scard of the cashier and being scard of customers. Su and izah encouraged me to try out cashiering which i did but i was extremely slow. haha .. but im learning. yup2. and im loving it. Im getting use to this new bistro concept and i love it. the work is much more segregated and we juz need to concentrate on one thing unlike the old cafe which we have to do everything. So i think im loving it. (ok .. i shd stop saying im loving it. haha) However, the great thing about the old cafe was that it's much more free and easy and u can easily joke around with ur fellow colleagues. but no complains here and i think my pay is being raise up. but juz a bit though. haha
Anyway, the new bistro at parkway i heard is opening on the 2nd September and with the large sitting capacity they offer, it'S gonna be busier that usual. hAiz ..
And yesterday, listen to the national day rally and it was realli interesting. Im so proud of our government for being able to think far and adapt to changes of time to keep singapore up to date. They already started planning on marina bay and they even look through other issues such as health care, housing and post secondary education. And wen he mentioned about our course - hospitality and tourism management in sentosa, i felt reali proud. With all this development coming up, we'll be really in great demand. He also touches on service culture in Singapore. Surprisingly, that is one of the subject we're studying. And whatever he said is true. Singapore needs to pay a great deal of attention to service and that everyone have a part to play. Not only the front line service staff but also the upper management and espacially customers themselves. If they want ot be treated with the best quality of service, they themselves should behave in a way they deserve it. In comparing with what we learnt to what i've been seeing as a service staff as well as a customer, we definately need to raise our standards in service.
And in one part of the speech when PM Lee nearly cried with his heart warming story of a past event during a particular year of National day, it too touches me and i too nearly cried. =) Overall, im really pround to be where i am, im proud to be a Singaporean and im proud to call Singapore my home.
This week, is the last week of school. All lectures and tutorials now are just for revision purposes. Cant miss anyone of them. Should there be any tips for the exams, i'll be left out.
