"Hi. Welcome to Royal Selangor Visitor Center. I'm Jessie. I will be your inhouse guide for today. Shall we start?" ( with a great smile on my face)
That's what I say for every tour. Yes, i'm work as a part time tour guide in Royal Selangor Visitor Center.
You might wonder what do i do as a tour guide?
I will guide them to visit the pewter museum, factory and shop gallery. Here, tourist will be given information and history of Royal Selangor. Besides that, we will demonstrate some processing process of producing our pewter product too.
Well, at first i thought guiding is an easy job. Just memorizes the scrip and talk talk talk... However... Its not easy at ALL!! Every tour takes around 20 minutes.. and sometimes i have to take six tour non stop without any rest.. And one tour will have around 20 tourist ,so we have to talk very loud..That time walk until leg gonna break and talk until no voice.. Now my voice sound like a DUCK!!! T.T Drink honey every day also No Use!!
We have tourist from all around the world. But mostly China tourist. And they seem like very suprise that i talk quite well in mandarin.. = = always ask whether i'm a Chinese or not. But got once even worst that got some of them say i don't look like Chinese.. >.< I'm a pure Chinese ok?!
Once i have been asked by a Taiwan tourist whether i speak Taiwan Mandarin or China Mandarin.. I just answer: " I speak Malaysia Mandarin.." = ='' what a weird question.. And they always call us " pang pang" (胖胖)which mean puan-puan.. ==''
But working here, its a good experience for me . I learn to talk infront of the crowd without fear and confidently. And i get a chance to meet people from all around the world and interact with them too~ ^^
