Confused

As per posted in titled, I'm confused about what I am goin to do next, what am I going to do with my future. Of course, I loved to be a part of hospitality industry but somehow, I don't really like the shift rotation.

I've been into the three shifts before during my internship. Night shift was a total changes in my life. I had a hard time to sleep at 8am after finishing my shift at 7am. I couldn't even sleep as it is the time to wake up. I had this shift for about 3 days and apparently I change to another department which requires me to come back to work at 3pm. Oh gosh, I had a hard time working during that day. For you information, trainees are not allowed to work night shift. If you're a trainees going for hospitality internship, knows your right.

Now I'm traveling to Bangkok for my last internships for about 4 months. After that, I'm blank. I'm trying to look for a job oversea but I think I will face a difficulty getting into English native country. Anyway, I'll try my best to improve my French for future's sake.

As I really love France that much till I'm still missing that place even though it is very cold for me. But everything there is so convenient that I can even throw away my driving license. Although the walking distance may vary and may kill my legs but if it has become a habit, it would be fine. Nice food, nice view, nice place. It is everywhere! Awwww.... I miss France...

That was Julien and Aurélie.

So, during my internship in Thailand, I'll blog more about Thai as an explorer and share it around the world. I hope it will be a great information to everyone. Please comment anything that you need me to update about Bangkok. I'll try my best for it.

Just in case it might help... 

A bit of tips to France! Bon voyages!

This is me, outside Musée du Louvre. If you doesn't know what it is, I'll explains further. This is located in Paris, France where many famous artists' artworks were placed here. See the building behind me? Not the pyramid.

See, it's actually an U-shaped building, very huge museum, exhibiting many arts in it. Now you know how many artistic person in France. Oh, Mona Lisa is inside. I didn't went in as I heard from my brother, you can't go near it. It's far away from you. Well secured. In another way, I'm not really interested and don't even know how to praise an art.

Anyway, I'm missing this country so much. Still remember the first day I arrived till I'm home in Malaysia.

I did not do much shopping till I found this, and also a pair of shoe from Victoria. A french brand of sneakers shoe. Mine is orange red. See the phot below, that's the shoe. Tigger is a birthday gift from my man. Excuse me.

Just to share some tips while traveling here.

1. Maps!

2. Learn some simple french. (They are hardly able to speak English)

3. In Paris, don't go for street gamble. You'll never win. Those people you see gambling is a scam. They're in a group.

4. Spend like it's your home currency. If you keep converting, you get nothing. You might only travel to France once.

5. Eiffel Tower keychain as souvenir. Act like you don't wanna buy after asking price and leave. Eventually they'll give you even cheaper than you imagine!

6. First time travel to winter country? Bring proper jacket! And scarf! And winter hat!

7. Beware of people coming to ask for funds. They're pick pocket.

8. If anyone comes to you to sell stuff like holy bracelet or funds, just walk faster. Otherwise you'll be surrounded and force to pay for 20€ per bracelet and you lost your belongings. Don't stop walking.

9. If you're lost, ask around or go to nearby attraction place if possible then use the maps to locate yourself.

10. Do some research before traveling. You don't wanna ended up coming back and say "I should have done some research so i wouldn't miss out any nice place".

11. Use a bag like I used in the photo above. You don't wanna use sling bag over there because this is much more easier to carry! And safe!

Point 10 did happen to me. I missed out nice restaurant. In France, all I did was looking at their menu and dine. Bad idea. If you read across in tripadvisor, I do give feedback. The un-best restaurant I dined in, Chez Clement Élysées. Bad service I experienced.

Anyway, for those who are going to travel soon, have a safe journey! I got to prepare myself for my final later. Last 2 papers and I'm graduated! Yoohoooooo!!

P.s: any reader who wanted to leave a comment or critics, go ahead. No controversy or drama will happen. Please feel free to add the tips as well!

Car signal is a communication

When I was driving this noon, passing by LDP tol, I met a real slow driver which has around 4 passengers. While making a U-Turn to head back Desa Park City, this driver made her signal and she slow down her speed to go to the right. I'm right behind, taking my advantages that there were no car coming from the top route, to go to the middle lane. This driver just slowed down her car and those car behind her got stuck because of her.

Come on, giving signal is just a communication to allow people to know that you wanted to change your lane. Just drive straight ahead first since there's no car ahead of you. Not slowing down causing the cars behind got stuck in the between of U-Turn. Seriously?

Few days back, a Viva almost hit me on my right. If you know the round about of Dataran Merdeka (a.k.a Merdeka Square), I was coming out from there to go to the round about, this lady from the right lane wanted to go straight without noticing my car is half ahead her in the middle lane. If I wasn't aware of my surrounding, I bet she will hit my car directly. When I look at her before I honked her, she was holding the steering with both hand and chest close to it. Lack of confidence? Don't drive. You scare the hell out of me. Not I scare the hell out of you.  I'm serious.

Advice? Look front, back, left and right. That's what your mirror and your eyes for when you drive. Don't think that giving signal will stop the car ahead of you to allow you to have the road changing session. Drive slowly if you saw me coming out from the interchange when you're still far away and driving slow instead of speeding when you saw more cars coming out.

Be aware of surrounding, make quick decision! Drive straight first if the lane that you wanted to switch is slow or you're unable to switch at the moment. Lack of confidence, take left lane! I wonder how you got your license. You guys bought it? Yeah, I bet it is.

I'm not saying that I'm smart, it's just take I learn along the way when I observe people around me when they drive because sometimes we are unaware of our own driving skill when we drive. One more thing, don't text while you drive. This is such a stupid act. If you think you can do it, go ahead but go to the left lane! For what you drive while you text, and yet you keep stepping on the brake? Seriously? Duhhhhhhh....

Think twice.... I believe you are matured enough to think by using your common sense or I should say logically.

Different culture, different way.

This is me and my boyfriend, a French nationality. We have been together since June 2013 and we're still kinda new to each other.

Now, don't get me wrong. We know each other through attending the same courses except that he's a transfer student from Toulouse Universite. We knew each other as friend, maybe for 3 - 4 months till we hang out.

At first, he wasn't really my type because he look so "kiddo" to me. But after getting to know him ever since he was unable to join a trip to Sabah with me and my other classmates, I start to mock him and promised to get him a souvenir. By then, we're getting closer and closer to each other.

Friends been asking if we had a fight. Yes, we do. But due to languages, I tend to understand the way he acted because he is from another culture. He is more straightforward whereas I don't. I expressed it in another way. I am a very hot-tempered girl and he used to slow down my temper.

Sometimes, due to language barrier, misunderstanding can happen. I do always try to understand that it is his culture, his way and this is how I accepted him for who he is. To be honest, it is quite difficult for me to have a different culture person as my life partner. It depends how strong my determination to give a chance for both of us. It is not easy to find someone who can go crazy with you, understand why you're acting miserable, listen instead of arguing for a point, teasing without tearing.

Oh! By the way, I'm learning french too. Just to have better communication with him as well as his family. I still believe that strong will do brings good result.

I enjoyed spending every seconds of my life with him. It is not easy to have someone in your life as it tooks you time to understand a person again. Fight for the one you love. Life is too short for you to renew every single thing that is going to happen next. Learn as it goes.

 I wish those who are still single, don't worry! Keep searching and at the same time, enjoy the single life!

And for those who are afraid to express your love, be brave! Never try, you'll never know!

Lastly, those who is in a relationship, don't cheat. May you'll be blessed with bundles of joy and happiness!

All you need is patience, understanding, trust, acceptance and committed to each other.

One more thing, don't compare your partner with your friend's. Everyone is limited addition. Keep that in mind.

Cheers, mate!

Play Safe

My very first post for "I Share", PLAY SAFE.

This vending machine can be found in every budget hotel (that I've stayed) and street in France. Even the pharmacy do have vending machine when they're closed (business opportunity still ON even though they're closed!). Well, besides condom, they do sell battery, shaving kit, lighter and much more which I am hardly remembering it now yet this happen just a month ago. It is 2 euros but I'm not sure how many pack you get (I mean what's the number of condom you'll get, I ain't stupid yo!).

Anyway, practice safe sex all the time. It's not really that expensive.

Compare with a box of rubber and a baby.

Which is more expensive?

a) Condom

b) Baby      

A? Well, you need to keep reading.

Think about the cost for the baby as well as the cost of hosting a wedding.

Okay, remove the baby.

What about disease?

Don't you want to be healthy?

Just a thought tho...

Think twice... It might change your life.
