Day 3: We survived our to our third day of Bangkok exploration vacation. What do we have on the list for today? Even at the very beginning of the trip planning process, Ochie told me that she would love to go to Madame Tussaud Bangkok. I have been to the one in Hong Kong, but there were no harm to go to the one in Bangkok, the wax statue should be different somehow. What else? Another shopping time in downtown and night market again. That’s what we called: Girl’s itinerary.

Feed the Elephants

Day 2 : we started it by booking a tour from the hostel to Kanchannaburi, which is out of Bangkok already. The main idea was to ride an Elephant and by booking that tour, we also got to travel on the train through the death railway. The price for the tour itself was THB 1900 per person including pick up and lunch plus a tour guide. As it will be a one-day tour, we start early, at 7 am.

After finishing the probationary period in this company, I got the full right to apply my leave. I got 28 days of leave, 7 days from last year carried forward and 21 of them for 2012. So I decided to split it into two leaves. First two weeks would be on May and another two would be on October. So for the first leave, I got planned my vacation with my university friend, D Class member, Rosiana, or called her Ochie and we decided to go on a vacation to Thailand, a land of thousands smiles.

Thousand Archipelago : D goes to Pramuka

“True friendship multiples the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like live on a desert island. To find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep one is a blessing.” – Baltasar Gracian.

D Class by the boat @ Keramba Island

 By the time we knew that the following months would be our last semester in our campus life, not to mention about thinking those torturous month facing the final project), D class decided to go on a trip. Just 16 of us. No boyfriend, no girlfriend. Just 16 of us. This trip was called “D goes to Pramuka”. In my opinion, we have to refresh our mind before we face the most important phase in our study life and we also need a trip (just trying to find a reason or an alibi). We also called it a farewell trip before we separated to pursue our own life months after.

Around this time last year, I was on a painful stress of finishing my final project. Let me tell you a little bit about the background. In order to be graduated from Hotel Management of Pelita Harapan School of Hospitality, you will have to defend your final project against 3 lecturers. The final project should be in a form of business plan, around hospitality industry, which will include all subjects that we had learned during the past four years. What kind of business would come into your mind? Regarding hospitality, service and profit?

Me and parents

After 4 long years of mountainous assignments and exams, events, on-job training, and torturous final projects, I finally stand on the day I will be graduated as a Bachelor of Applied Science. As I have been mentioned before, I enrolled to Pelita Harapan School of Hospitality and Tourism in 2007 majoring in Hotel Management. Together with my 15 classmates, we’ve been through all of the events, engraved our memories in our heart altogether in 4 years.
