Y worst work day ever.
i had a really bad day today. sighs* it started off badly when i woke up and something happened which i've decided to keep it confidential. then, i went to the kitchen and found out that the colour of the skirt baby bought for me from taiwan (the green and white one) runs. the white part kenna the green part. so now the white part looks ugly. sighs* i'm damn sad about it okay. ): Labels: Work
went to work at 4ish, and waited for pei yun at the bus stop before we went into conrad together. took our time to change, before we went to grab a bite in the canteen. i put a piece of cotton wool and 2 plaster over my wound, then wore my stockings. bumped into teckson, and we chit-chatted a little. he was asking me about my genting trip and about larling LAH. haha! at 6pm, we went upstairs to sign in. mery is back! haha, so now baby's not the co-ordinator anymore and is back in operation. however, today he worked 7am, so not involved in the wedding dinner.
report at the ballroom, did some miscelleneous stuffs then we were assigned to our table. baby's god sister, nancy, worked too. peiyun, nancy and i stick to each other throughout the night. oh, my partner was ramad. went to serve cocktail with pei yun, nancy, amelia, wei li and some others. wells, i really got this strong gut feeling about something. right larling? wells, women's intuition are right most of the time, no? haha. got baby's sms telling me he's going back home.
everything went on smoothly. first course presentation and all. i even had one guest who's really funny and friendly. haha. until about after the 2nd course, something bad happened to me. i tripped over the edge of this carpet near my side station, and fell. i was holding my tray with one glass red wine. the wine spilled of cause. not only that, i knocked onto this big photo album case (which belongs to one of the guests) and hit my wound. the pain resulted in me losing my balance, and i knocked over the 3 pots of HOT tea on my side station. then, the tea spilled onto my wound. double the pain! ouch* that actually created quite a commotion around me lah. amelia, pei yun and nancy (their tables are very near mine) came over and asked how's my wound. then steve helped me outta the south room and checked my wound. luckily they are more concerned about my wound than the spillage. lol. after that incident, sam got someone to stick masking tape over that edge of the carpet to prevent more trippings.
dinner went on. then somewhere before the 2nd march-in, i went to get 6 glasses of red wine for my guests. and when i was about to open the east door to enter ballroom, someone came out and knocked onto me. spillage again. nope, didn't kenna anyone, but myself. mark and sam were directly in front of me when that happened. my uniform and stockings were badly soiled by the spilled red wine. sam helped me to get new glasses of wine to serve the guests, then asked me to change into a new shirt. i went to return the glasses to the bar, then teckson and kelvin began asking about my wound again. duh.
at that moment, i REALLY felt like crying. after working in conrad for so long, that's like the first time these kinda things happened to me leh. twice in a day somemore. maybe like what teckson says, it's because i too long never worked. yay, one week plus loh. sighs* i felt really upset and a lil traumatized after that. i missed larling all of the sudden. because usually such thingy happens, she will be there to give me support and cheers me up. and now, she's so far away from me and i still gotta survive on my own at work for the rest of this 1mth plus. sighs*
went to change, and i sms-ed baby and tell him about it. i felt really sad, and needed to let things out, so i chose to sms him to get some comfort. went back to work after that. i took off my stocking and didn't wear it for the rest of the night. sam allowed me to. he mentioned that if my leg's not okay, must let him know then he'll let me rest. thank goodness, i wasn't ticked off for the spillage. felt better after a few sms-es with baby. resumed working with myself half limping half walking. felt eyes on me, but i tried to ignore them and do my work.
and finally, dinner ended at 10ish. jasmine and sam gave me simple jobs like sending flowers to the fridge, and sending a receipt to the front desk. then we were let off at 11.30pm, but was signed out at 12mn. by the way, there were many new faces today. and june and huilin will not be working anymore after today, because they had found a full-time job at standard chartered. ohwells. and hoh, serving of the sharks fins is so different now. gotta update larling about it when she's back. :/
anyhows, nancy, pei yun and i went to change together, then ate supper in the canteen together, before waiting for the transport home at 12.30am. while waiting, and after nancy left, pei yun and i chatted. haha. she was asking how i got to know baby and how we got together. so i began reminiscing everything with her. from taking the same cab home, to working together at pool pavillion, to the encounters in the flower fridge, to friendster messages, to msn chats, to strawberries, etc. i told her basically every encounters baby and i had before we got together. it felt good to reminisce actually. teehee. (:
riight, so i took the cab and reached home at 1ish. took off my plaster, and my wound actually peel a lil, and there's a lil blood oozing out. sighs* i sms-ed baby to let him know i'm safe at home, but he did not reply. so guess he must be too sound asleep already. haha, poor boy's working 7am tomorrow also. yay, will be having fizzy's birthday lunch at seoul garden tomorrowlater. yea, spending money again, but for the sake of my best pooper partner, YAY BABY! =D time for some catching up with him and cashwinn as well i guess. looking forward to it ya? (: happy birthday, fellow pooper! you ass MR LEGAL. haha! =D
