I'm trying very hard not to fall asleep now because I have to wake up at 4am later. So, might as well dun sleep so I won't oversleep. Haix...
Later at 4am, I have to go to the airport to pick a guest up and send him to Amara hotel @ Sentosa. Sian.. So early, nothin to do also. Then still need to waste time before gg to pick up another round of guests... Actually, I volunteered for this year's SIFF (aka Singapore International Film Festival). Somehow, I got myself into the hospitality team, which is to pick guests up from the airport and send them in the hotel, settle them down in Singapore. My job scope also includes picking guests up from certain places then sending them to the places they are required to go to.
Last Saturday, I picked up 2 guests and sent them to the hotel. Both are jury for this yr's SIFF and they are very friendly people. QUite different from what I thought. So I felt better after the day, Initially, I thought I was going to die from nervousness but they turn out to be really friendly and we were chatting quite comfortably. :D
Thanks to them, I did not feel as afraid as I did initially. Haha...
It was a good experience, but I think I'm really not cut out for this kinda job ba. First of all, I'm not terrific at interacting with people. There were alot of awkward silences that ensued. Secondly, I do not know my country well. When asked questions about Singapore, I will be speechless and gives question mark face. (Sry abt that, but I'm never interested in these kinda things.) However, I'm always interested about cultures and religions stuff. Just that that interested in history and geography la. Haha...
Yup, so hospility is actually my weak spot. So is interacting with people. So I tend to avoid these when I can. :P Nevertheless, I hope these 2 weeks will be a fun and enriching experience for me. :D
How easy it is to lose contact...
