Langkawi Chronicles: Buah Setui

My colleague brought some of these for me to try.

Buah Setui!
These peculiar looking fruits are about the size of Tennis balls with a heavy and rather dense feel. Grows in cluster on the branches of the 'Setul' tree.

Taste? Doesn't taste like much really. Imagine wet cotton with hints of sourish sweet duku/dokong. Yeah. Like I said, not much.

Feather in my cap?

So, it is a wee bit over 18months since I landed a job in Langkawi. Much I have seen and will continue to learn. Growing along with the small but dedicated team of crazies here.

Milestones? Not much really, other than always trying to take up new challenges and ways of doing things. Introduced freshly made Vegan food for Vegan guests, new menu offerings - Private American Burger Barbie party, Chinese Steamboat, Malay Nasi Kukus Ayam Dara, Snack Packs, a more open and customer oriented approach to service and oh yeah, gaining the highest service rating in the history of the resort.

I guess, one can be happy about the little things, taking stock of the price one has to pay, and the sacrifices needed.

Just also realised that in my duration here, 7 people left our employment, due to various reasons. Another will soon follow. Dont know if these cases can be considered as feathers in my cap though.

Still, what should be done, must be done.

RANT ALERT! GPS Tracker Implant.

Gawd, why do you have the need to call like every single time, asking where I am at.

I have already told you that I am at work! Where else do you think I would be at? If I told you I am at work, I will be at work. Why would I need to lie?

My work requires me to be the 'face' of the resort, therefore I will be there until my guests are satisfied and end their day in bed (even then my guests might still need me).

I am only a cog in a well oiled machinery. Should I not move like how I am supposed to, the whole machine will not run smoothly.

So, if you dont believe me, should I implant a gps tracker so you can find me wherever you need?

Hmmmmm?
