It was my first time working a morning at Shangri-La, and I didn’t know what to expect. Cause I’d been up all day and we were indoors, it felt like night time to me anyway. First thing I did was break a teacup because I was so sleepy. Paiseh lah. Jack and Priscilla were wonderful to work with and Adam was a great supervisor so I had fun and time went along well.

Interestingly enough the event that day had to do with the Media Development Authority (MDA) and for some reason or another, Ken T happened to be there on attachment for some roadshow-style thing. Had a few laughs with him.

The more I see it, the more I know for certain that I want to work in the media industry. It’s stuff that I am passionate about and stuff that I’m good at. It’s also not so rigid. The hospitality industry is quite meaningful and fun, but I can’t do it 24/7. I like the fun, slightly odd-ballness of the media/entertainment/advertising industry. You get to dress differently, sport long hair, tattooes, whatever. You get to express yourself, and that means alot to me.

In the hospitality industry, self-expression is frowned upon. In it’s context, I can appreciate and respect that. You learn humility, grace, respect, and become more refined as an individual. I’ve taken alot from the experience, but it doesn’t appeal to me in the long term. I need self-expression, it makes me feel alive.
