Really last day of work...
It was my *real* last day at work yesterday. Everything went extremely well yesterday, my sales was twice the usual amount and a VVIP visited the hotel. A Mexican couple was interested in the feather bed and pillows. The sales from this alone was about one grand. But as they wanted to ship the items back to Mexico, courier charges alone amounted to about $900. My shift was over before the sales was closed, so I wasn't sure if they bought it. But it was fun talking and helping this couple as they were really friendly.
The VIP who came was an board executive of the entire hotel group. The GM and Directors of the hotel all appeared together for the first time in my 4 months of work, to entertain the VIP guest.
The scene was refreshing and fun, seeing managers running around to get things going. The hotel even did a major cleanup and repaint a few days leading up to his arrival. Nothing of such happened even when the Prince of Arab visited last year, it really showed how important this VIP was.
After my shift, I bid farewell to all my friends, from the supervisor to the employees of cake kiosk, and even the cleaner auntie. The supervisor even invited me for dinner at the hotel restaurant when during my time-off from NS. I'll definitely grab the opportunity! :D
For the past few weeks, I've been weighing my options for varsity education. I've applied to NUS and NTU, and will probably get a reply in May. The option that I've the least knowledge about is overseas education. None of my friends are considering going overseas, and there aren't any talks by overseas universities going on at the moment. By the time I enlist, I'll have no time to attend talks. I've browsed through the various UK, US and Australian universities' websites, and looked for information from online forums. The cost of studying in UK or US adds up to almost S$250,000, and about S$150,000 for Australia. I've narrowed down my scope to U of Toronto, U of Sydney and U of South California, both of which have Aerospace engineering courses and do not require SAT for entry. I'd have many more options open to me had I taken SAT, really regret now. I'll definitely try find time off from NS to attempt this test, but it's very difficult to schedule anything right now without prior knowledge of the time schedules. Thus I cannot do anything but to let time pass...
