Hi, this is my 511th post! Ok random.
So, the whole thing has blown over and I really couldn't care less anymore. I wrote an apology letter (or rather, Nic wrote) to the hotel and the lady replied something like, "Don't be so harsh on yourself. It's just a learning curve. We wish you well for your internship."
-.-
Well, they're the ones that made it HARD for me hello!?!?!?!??!!!! And my teacher said that they actually prepared a WARNING LETTER for me but than they decided not to give it to me cos it was miscommunication. Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
Anyway, my driving test is on the 12th, Friday! Omg.. I don't want to fail again. :(

Ok, there's new developments. CKing's called M, my teachers and Course Manager(CM) wants to see me, and obviously adults being adults, they would love to push the blame ALL to me. Yes I do admit partly is my fault for not clarifying.. But it takes 2 hands to clap you know. It is not just SOLELY my fault. How I know I'd be so stupid and don't read between the lines. I am sure the hotel's at fault for not clarifying as well. But noooooo.. It is ALL my fault. Everything is the student's fault. Everything just blame the student. The student is young and blur and stupid, just blame her, obviously we can't blame the hotel for a miscommunication.
YA YA, JUST BLAME ME LA.
Mr GM is a personal friend of CM's. Well, Mr GM is my family's friend too. The CM come and tell me "How will i face Mr GM now?" Well, i really don't care. And i doubt he'll even be fazed by it. All the management cares of the REPUTATION of the bloody school. The reputation of themselves more likely. When I told her that i am going to events, she went, "The job scope is very small. You will get bored of it."
Well, it is MY interest. Not YOURS. To you it may be boring, to me it may not. Well, to me hotels might be boring. What right does she have to critisize my interests. I know what i want to venture into. What is so wrong with knowing what i want and diving straight into it?
When i told my dad, he said something that made me cry.. "Don't worry. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Love Daddy!

I have never been so frustrated!!!!!!!! And it's all because i wanted to help my friends, I am getting this nonsense from unprofessional and petty 'PROFESSIONALS'!!
What happened was we were supposed to send our resumes to companies for our Student Internship Program or SIP for short. So after a few weeks or so, i am lucky as i got several interviews while my friend(s) got none. So i decided to ask my dad for help as his childhood friend if the GM of this 4 STAR HOTEL, CKing's. Apparently, the only reason why i sent my resume in in the first place was to accompany my friends as it'd be senseless to ask them to send in as the GM would think, "Who the hell are they!?" Thus, if i were to send it in WITH them, he'd be like, "Oh! Natasha's friend!"
But lo and be hold, after J and i went for the interview (they didn't even bother replying M) they didn't like tell us that we're in and all. The HR manager just said something about preferring to hire foreign students over local students as "local students tend to be picky while foreign students just want to work and earn money."
Ok, I'd admit, locals are more picky as they want 9-5 jobs, they don't want OT, they want desk jobs, they want this, they want that. But as the standard of living in Singapore rises, the expectations rises as well. Imagine if you work as some shitty job, sweat and slog it out and your friend works at an office job, in air con and deal with office politics, and all this while you both get the same pay.. Obviously the office boy will laugh at the shitty job boy. BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
My point is that they're quite petty
and unprofessional.
1) They didn't tell us in black and white that they've confirmed us.
2) They didn't tell us face to face that they've confirmed us.
3) They didn't reply my emails when i wanted to make interview arrangements.
4) They didn't even reply M's repeated emails when she sent her resume.
And about point 3, I called them in the morning on the day of my interview (it was a Monday, I couldn't call during the weekend right..) to confirm with them. And of cos, it was confirmed la. But anyway, about 20 mins after i hung up, the assistant called me to confirm when she should have done it 3 days ago.
Ok, I admit that i am partly at fault for not clarifying. But what do you expect of a student who is DESPERATE for an internship? We're sending out 20 resumes at once leh!
Anyway, they sent the school a disappointment letter and i am in deep shit.. Just cos i wanted to help. Is it wrong to help people who i love?
My teacher actually told J, "Next time who would want to hire Natasha?" WTF. IT WAS JUST FUCKING MISCOMMUNICATION ALRIGHT! This sentence really pisses me off. She is worried that it will affect the school and cohort and all.. But please! She said she prefer FOREIGN students.
ARAGH! I JUST VERY ANGRY LA! WTF.
