Here’s how I got to post here
Gin: You very free and bored right?
Me: Yes but going to sleep soon.
Gin: NO! Write my blog for me.! ANYTHING!
Me: *hesitated* *stops for 2 mins* okay.
Short intro of me, born and raised in KL, went to KDU and then furthered my studies in Switzerland where i finished BA. Now I’m working in Singapore!. Well i guess it’s okay for me to say that I had more exposure working here than my home country. Seriously. Anyways, after BA you can throw it aside because its only your ticket to getting your first job. The rest in my industry is all about the experience haha.!
So i landed my first job as a butler in a casino hotel. Sounds like a shitty job but in fact its pretty interesting because its not an ordinary hotel but a fast paced one since everything’s about gambling. Money in and out most of the time. Why butler? because I personally think that it’s a challenging job, fast paced, spontaneous, and also just wanting to make people happy. An example of a regular role of butler: hey you!! go and buy me stuff.. hands us the list and we get it done.
After joining in for a month I came to realized that the job is not only to fulfill the wishes of our guests but also to make 1 step ahead. To go the extra mile. In service line, I’m sure this is pretty common but what’s the thing here is that we are free to use our creativity to go all out to take the 1 step ahead. Sounds pretty cool huh, actually it’s okay for a first time guest but not returning ones because you have to really scratch your head to think of something else to WOW them. Oh well, back to the drawing board again. And that’s how my everyday job goes by.
Now, here’s the thing. Everybody’s been asking me, so have you met any challenging people yet. I tell them everyday, we have high rollers, VVIP’s, just plain nothing to do and born rich people, and of course the singaporeans =). Please do take note we also have CHEAPOS! (Those that takes whatever’s free and chunk it in their suitcase and brings it home). Well, everyone of them poses different kind of challenges such as the speed of getting the food from 1st floor to 50th floor perhaps. Actually not just food, just about everything and anything requested will be done. Tough job.. I know but it’s fun. The end product is that we delivered good service and the guests leaves with a big…. =)! or even =D! hopefully not =/ or =(. Then we’ll get shot haha.
Another thing is the amount of tips. Obviously this information cannot be disclosed haha but I can only say this. Come and visit me and perhaps I’ll tell you =). I can’t disclose the place which I am working in as well but I will give you a hint at the end which is pretty obvious to everyone. Hopefully in time to come when I’m dead free and Ms.Ginny is around I could write another cover on myself.
So! If you’re very free, and don’t mind spending at least 3,000 SGD a night here please come by!.
Perhaps you could ask Gin about my name.
