Marriott Field Trip

Hello!! How is everyone? Please tag if you drop by ok?

Anyway, went on an overnight field trip at the Marriott Hotel in Toronto! so cool! let me tell u my experience through pictures!!

Now, here is me at the entrance of the Courtyard Marriott, Toronto. There are 3 Marriotts on one street. This one is the largest one because it specializes in Meeting Functions.
This is at the fireplace in the lobby with Doris from Shanghai!

In front of the Yonge Street Grille Restaurant in the hotel with Cameron and Heather
These are my group members for the project, which is to redesign a hotel room. Left to right: Me, Jessica, Doris and Sarah. I usually group with Canadians and not with international students, so it was a new experience haha. Close up of the groupie. We call this our family photo with Sarah as the grandmother hehehe.
Jessica
This is Nancy, another international student, whose boyfriend works in the partner's restaurant that is the franchise of my mum's resturant. Whew! Never mind if you didn't get that haha

This is our lovely Maquette board. Shows our design, furniture, colour scheme. Look closely and you can see a carpet sample and tile sample.
This is me with our board. I was quite surprised that I actually looked professional and all spiffy!

So the presentations commenced simultaneously. The lappie is to show the pictures clearly and the binder at the side shows our Budgeting, Specifications Manual, Executive Summary and Design Summary
This is the Director of Sales and Marketing, chatting with us about our design.
Another Director of something something i forgot. There were lotsa of them, even the Director of Sales and Marketing of Marriott CANADA! but didn't get a pic of the rest.
Impromptu photo with April during a boring period of time where we sat there and chatted. In the background is Maryse

Anyway, the agenda goes like this. 9 leave school, 10.30 reach Marriott, 12 Lunch, 1.30 Presentations and Networking with Executives, 3.30 Check in to room, 6 pm Dinner.

So here is me in one of the corridors posing before the dinner. Everyone says this pic looks like the Manager of the hotel, can post in resume haha!

Me with Doris in front of a meeting room entrance

The dinner was AWESOME. i was sooo full. And it was a candlelight dinner too!
So this is my hotel room, Doris was my roomie. As you can see, their beds are huge here. They dun have one single bed like Singapore. This size, which they call a Double, is their smallest size here.
Anyway, Marriott invested millions into changing ALL their hotel beds to what they call Heavenly Beds. REALLY comfortable beds with FIVE pillows of different hard/softness. I asked Doris to take a pic of me posing so shiok haha!

I decided against drinking with my friends, so Sarah and Jessica came over and we hung out talking about Korean serials haha. Watched Legally Blonde and just plain relaxed. It was splendid i tell u, cause you can drink or shop anytime .. But seldom have time to just relax.

Before we went to bed, I even managed to chat with Doris about my faith! Answered her questions with the verses that I found from the Bible and shared about my personal walk with Jesus. I think this part was the highlight of my field trip! Because fulfilling the desires of life or ensuring success in life is just a passing temporary part of life. What is important is eternity and the harvesting of souls! So I answered her queries and got her all excited that she wants to buy a Bible! I recommended NIV, cause its simple to understand for her. She even told me that she wants to accept her friend's invitation to her Chinese church for Good Friday! Praise the Lord! Pray for her! I felt that after that talk with her, my spirit felt so joyful! woohoo! Thank You Lord!

*SLEEP*

The next day, we had a buffet breakfast, which was EXCELLENT. They had sooo much stuff ... Sausages, Bacon, Ham, French Toast, Potato Pancakes, Pancakes... Make your own omelette, Make your own waffles... Gahh i made my own waffle, Doris made her own omelette and we shared. YUMZ!!

Anyway, that was my lovely field trip! I really enjoyed it! Although I need to pray over my shyness with strangers. I just zipped and clammed up, and could not network well. Pray for me over this too!

~5 more weeks!!!~

Hope you are all doing well!! *huggiez*

Anyway, i now very busy with school. Last FIVE weeks of school before i graduate! so of course got SO many projects, LOTSA assignments and ENDLESS tests ... gaaah *sigh* *thud* *faint*

Third one, little bamboo, still growing nice and strong. But I wanna show you the newest addition to the family! My African Violets ...

Aren't they pweddy pretty!

Easter is coming! Lets remember the Lord's love for us when He died on the cross, but also celebrate His resurrection! He's Alive!!

*queue soothing piano introduction*

We have reached this special day, March 10, 2007...

My dearest sister's 21st birthday! Here is a small tribute dedicated to the lovely Melody *hugz*



"You Were There"


You were there when the Lord first sent me into this world, my God-given sister from the start and for always ...
You were there with me when the tide came in, through the hard times, tears and sorrow ...
You were there for the countless holidays and amazing experiences that the Lord gave us, whether it was Perth, Israel etc ...

You were there to stop me from doing the wrong things and to correct me out of love ...

You were there through the celebrations, dressing up and helping me colour code my clothes ...

You were there for the glorious food that the Lord thankfully gave to us and we so wonderfully enjoyed together ...

You were there to protect me, to hold me or to lend a shoulder whenever I needed it ...

You were there for the mirthful times, exciting my world with your sarcasm and wit while you withstood my lameness ...

You were there to encourage me through my difficulties, where you taught me to look on the bright side and not be dejected ...

You were there for all the enjoyable and boisterous times we had as children, and the plentiful photos we posed for together ...

You were there while I learned something, whether it was my first steps, how to ride a bike, or even the true realization of how great is our God!

You were there for the fun and blessed times, through exceeding joy, happiness and laughter ...

You were there for the numerous birthdays and the times of huge spectacles ...

You were there through the sharing of our little secrets, through all our crushes, giggles, gushings and rolling of eyes ...

You were there through each other's spiritual growth, where we share and learn to mold ourselves into God-fearing women ...

Most importantly, you were ALWAYS there throughout my life whenever I needed you ... And I am SO blessed and thankful to the Lord for bestowing me with such a special person as my very own sister!

May the Lord continue to bless you with His abundance in your life, just as He has blessed me with you in my life!

Happy 21st Birthday Sis! I love you! *hugz muackz*

P.S. Hope you will find your Mr Hunky Dory soon!!!
