BUCH

This is my first post about BUCH ever since I joined it 2 weeks ago. In case you don't know what is/what does it stand for, it is a college, Berjaya University College of Hospitality or BUCH for short. It specializes in Hospitality & Culinary courses. It is located inside Berjaya Times Square. Pretty cool isn't it? I never knew this place existed till I saw its booth at the Edu Fair 3 weeks ago. I was attracted to it when I saw its courses and facilities.. Who isn't attracted to a college that's located inside a mall or has a lobby that looks like a hotel? The assistant marketing manager, Mr Resh was the person in charge of the booth so he was the one telling us about the place.  BA & JuYi was there too. I was surprised when I saw Richmond @ Rich man there cz I never knew he was studying there! He told us the interesting activities they held there last year e.g Robert Rainford from Licence To Grill was there to demonstrate, Moses Chan from the Hong Kong limelight was there & a competition similar to Hell's Kitchen was held there as well! Jamie Oliver was scheduled to come the week after.

There was a discount available for M'sian citizens cz the college was still quite new. After thinking through, I decided to join BUCH! I was interested in Hospitality as I would like to serve people. I registered the week after as I was still working then. So, Mr Resh brought me for a tour around the place! I was awestruck when I entered the campus! The lobby looked like a hotel lobby! Their library was superb as well! There were no classes on Fridays for Foundation students so there were a few of them inside the ICT lab. I registered in Foundation as I wanted to know the basics of it before making any rash decisions. I missed the orientation as it was held on the 6th-8th Jan.

After I registered, I was given a goodie bag  that consists of several maps, notepads and a Berjaya Hotel towel which could prove useful. I was also given a t-shirt which I chose pink which is not my favourite colour but I kinda like it cz I don't have single t-shirt which is pink in colour. I was actually 1 week late for my classes as it had started on that week itself which is on the 11th of Jan but Mr Resh said that the lecturers would be able to assist me if I couldn't catch up on the lessons. Mr Resh also gave me the schedule for the semester which was the Jan '10 semester
