David Foster~!


OMG...
I just have to blog and talk about David Foster...
Last Saturday, I went to One Utama with my parents...
And I saw this concert was previewing in Speedy...
I was attracted by Peter Cetera voice...
So I went over and have a peek while my parents were busy with the kitchen ware.

The music is so amazing...
Just standing in front of the TV,
Watching at the concert...
You can definately feel the atmosphere in the concert...
The music can make you fall in love and standing there just to watch...

I'm really amaze with the talent of David Foster and the singers in the concert...
It was so fantastic.
"The David Foster & Friends"

I almost dig my purse and get that disc...
But I know if I get it, my parents will be so unhappy...
Why?
Well, my parents are typical parents where they seldom pay for a good quality stuff especially when you gonna talk about CD and DVD.
But for me, an original CD bring more better effect.
The quality the sound will be different.
Although the album is come with a CD & DVD and it cost RM49.90.

For them, is still expensive.
So I din't even dare to say I want to buy.
Then my sis say she will try to find online, and both of my parent agreed.
Well, actually my sis also attracted by the concert.
People in the concert might have paid more than US$300 for this concert.
And we can just watch it at RM49.90.
Isn't that valueble enough to enjoy it at your home with the whole set of stereo and DVD player we have?

And 1 week had passed...
My sis can't find it and download...
Her friend went One Utama yesterday and saw there's sales in CDrama.
Her friend called her up and ask did she need anything.
And so she told him about this disc.
Lucky me that I did not dig my money and get it last week.
CDrama has this disc at 20% discount...
And they are selling at RM45.90.
Is RM4 cheaper...

Finally we get the disc today and played it the whole afternoon...
The most impressed me in this concert is a 16-year old Filipino girl named Charice sang
I Have Nothing & I Will Always Love You.
You will really shock when you see this little girl sang such a mature song...

See this in YouTube:

For some concert sneek preview:

60 - Earth Hour~!

VOTE EARTH
YOUR LIGHT SWITCH IS YOUR VOTE

This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.

VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

....................................................................................................................................................................

As the part of the world...
People, please take action and save our mother earth.
Just simply switch off your lights for 1 hour.
For Malaysia, the Earth Hour is on the 28th March, 8.30pm-9.30pm~!





Sign up for Earth Hour! - I VOTE EARTH: Christine Lim

The Taylor's Hotelier~!

Taylor's College,
School of Hospitality and Tourism
The college that I having my Licence Professionnelle Hotelleris Tourism
aka Bachelor of Hospitality and Tourism Management (Honours).

In Malaysia, student who finish SPM or STPM will always wonder what courses should they choose and which college...
Well... Never think there's a course that you can easily get a degree...
2 years ack, as I was just finish my STPM.
I was in the same situation that wondering what should be my future.
Pharmacy? Music? or Hotel?
So, I went to education fair, visiting colleges and finally decided to take Hotel Management.

From a science stream, Bio Chem student of STPM,
suddenly decided to be in a service line.
Everyone been asking me why...
Well, I'm a person who don't like to just sit and memorise study.
I like to be active...
I thought of Mass Com before, but Hotel is much more attractive...

When I had decided to take Hotel Management...
People around me start teasing me,
saying that I have to clean the room, be in the kitchen and serve as a server...
But I just ignore them.
In April 2007, I started my new path in this college, Taylor's College.
What attracted me to this college is the program structure, the facilities and the most important, a 2-week Residency Programme in France.
Taylor's College is providing the Hotel courses from the University of Toulouse, France.

The course structure is divided into 3 years.
For the 1st two years, Year 1 & Year 2, there are 3 terms each.
And every term is 11 weeks.

In Year 1, which is Term 1-3, student will be learning all the basic about the hotel.
From the back of the house to front of the house.
Learning cooking in kitchen, having practical in a restaurant, role play in the front office, and even making a bed in the housekeeping.
After 3 terms, 1st Year Final Exam will be given to test everything that had learn in that 3 terms.

In Year 2, Term 4-6, student are required to choose a specialize field.
There are 2 specialization which are Hospitality Marketing & Management
and Culinary Arts & Food & Beverage.
And in Year 2, there will be French Language Class provided.
After Term 4, there will be an Industrial Training which is a 20 weeks training.
Student will to choose hotels to have their training...
And I had my training in Maldives, which I never thought I had a chance to step into this paradise country.
Thanks to Taylor who give me this opportunity to have an oversea training and great experience.
Term 5 will be commence after the training.
In Term 6, this is where now I'm,
having my critical time to pass this final exam.

The uniqueness of this degree course is that, the student can get 2 certificate.
After completing Year 2, there's a certificate given known as Brevet de Technicien Superieur Hotellerie (BTS) aka Higher Diploma in Hotel Management.
Student may choose to further their study for degree or work after this year.
Student who choose to continue will just spend for one more year for degree.

At the 1st place, I do think this course is much more easier compare to other courses.
But these days, I do not agree with it anymore.
The final exam in Year 2, is not cooking in kitchen, serving in a restaurant, cleaning a bathroom or making a bed.
This exam is a challenging exam where the student need to be knowledgeable in both management and practicals.

The student from Taylor's are trained to be in managerial management.
The Year 2 final exam is a real tough one.
The exam consist of 3 written paper, and 4 practical/presentation.
The most difficult written paper is the Hospitality Management Case Studies (HMCS).
Is a 5 hours case studies paper.
This paper can consist of Principle of Accounting, Cost Accounting, Budgeting, Financial Management, Financial Maths, Applied Decision Making, Customer Relation, Management, Sales & Marketing and Human Resource.
And this paper will divide into around 5 section.
So you will have no idea what will be coming out, but definately Sales & Marketing and Human Resource will be there.
There are so many format to remember, P&L statement, Balance sheet, Cash Flow, Cash Budget, BEP...

This is really a tough one among the written paper and it stand for 7 co-efficient.
Next will be the presentation.
And it ain't gonna be easy as well...
As the college is invitint people for the industry to be part of the jury...

So I'm half way thru this exam...
I have done all the written paper.
And none of it I have confidence...
French listening was the ridiculous one...
My Industrial Report Presentation was commented a lot by the external jury...
And now left 2 practical presentation, French presentation and BM...
Phew....
Wish me good luck and I must pass this Higher Diploma~!
I want to go to Paris~!


The diagram blow shows the pathway of the course.

Wish to stay alone...

I miss the days I was so alone in Maldives...
I miss the days I have no worries and live in my own way...
That past 5 months were really memorable...
Good and bad events will always stay in my memory...
And I'm glad I had found my another half...

But ever since I came back...
The level of depression is increasing...
No one seems realise the changes about me...
Because I just cover up myself but occasionally mood swinging...
Telling no one what had ever happened and my feelings, except writing here in my blog, my own space...
I never talk to anyone even my close friends and just keep to myself.


Staying apart from your family can be a good thing whereby conflict will not happened so often...
Bad words are always spreading in the air in just a minute...
As long as is a bad stuff, no matter how far your relative are staying, it will spread to them very soon.
Good things will always come last unless is a ultimate good news to proud of.
Whenever I got any special award or appraisal, I will just keep to myself as well...
Because is useless to tell...


Every family had their own problem...
As an outsider, it is better to keep quiet if you can't help because it will just making things worse.
The situation is getting better and peacefully...
No more scolding, no more shouting and no more conversation...
This house is just a place to stay where no family communication.
I rather it continues like this than scolding and shouting everyday.
But when people know about it and start to interrupt and giving comforts...
It just reflect that the problem never solve and getting worse...
People are thinking that the problem still there and looking for ways to help...
I dunno whether their help do help or not...
But I just feel they just make the situation more tense up.
And the whole world know what happened.



As a daugther to concern about parent filial...
To parent filial, from today onwards, I will just keep quiet, avoid any conflict and stay away.

This is the least I can do from making the situation worse and to parent filial.
And as I know the only thing I can do now is to study hard and get my degree done.
Find a job not in M'sia and leave here...
And go my own way...
