Y dead beat.
before i went on to blog, here's a message to this tagger of mine, "JOANNE". whoa, my clone eh?
thanks for taking the effort to tag my board. it's been greatly appreciated, tho your messages ain't nice at all. but tell you what, your message can never get me down, but it only irritates my friends and i a little. i don't wish to know who you are, because it's not worth my time to find out who's so childish to do such acts. but if i want to track you down, i can really do so. oh, in case you don't know, i've got your ip address already. 202.156.6.68 amazing isn't it? oh, thank you too. (:
riight, shan't be bothered by such stuffs. i'm feeling dead tired, and a little lazy to update about my days at work. and it's pretty mundane to write about similar stuffs everyday, but because of people like my larling who wants to be updated about our workplace, i shall do a recount on everything. teehee. (:
friday
reached conrad at about 5.30pm, and i quickly went to change. met marhaini in the washroom and we were so excited lah. because its been quite long since we last seen each other. err, think it's way before the lunar 7th month. went to the ballroom to report after that. initially, samsi was telling ramesh to let me be the VIP server that night. i heard and almost laughed out loud, and quickly rejected before ramesh even said anything. this kinda thing i'd rather do it when larling's around. so i went to do other miscelleneous stuffs instead.
at about 6.30pm, we had our briefing by jovin outside grand salon. speakin' bout jovin, i know SOMETHING about him. teeheehee. baby just told me only. larling, come and ask me about it, i tell you. :x right, baby walked past us during briefing and he seems so stressed up and tired looking again. :/ anyways, briefing took quite long because jovin's really very loh soh. argh! lol. was assigned to our tables aftermath. i was put to partner with beng san and serve 2to3. holy shitness.
went to serve cocktail till the door opens. i was really busy the whole night, because my 3 tables kept asking for drinks and some other stuffs. i remembered i had to run in and out of the ballroom so many times. moreover, my tables are at the south room, which is quite a distance to the bar. argh! and bengsan's busy portioning the food as well. the 2 of us were totatlly zonked out lah. bah! and during the 2nd march-in, we finally can take a short breather. phew*
we managed to pull through the dinner, which ended quite late at 11.30pm. the only good thing was that, i ate alot of food during dinner! haha, because lulu was the VIP server then she gave me some food to eat each time i walked past. lol. we had a quick turnover with jovin as the in-charge. at 12.30am, some staffs were let off, and jovin wanted me to stay, but then i told him i'll be working morning shift the next day, so he allowed me to go home. however, we couldn't make it for the 12.30am transport and had to take the 1.30am one instead. zzz.
after we got changed, a big group of us sat together in the canteen to chit-chat while waiting for 1.30am. there were marhaini, zaeid, kelvin, jing xuan, melvin, etc etc. haha, we were discussing about next week's outdoor catering, which will be in-charge by dalland, who went reservist for these few days. when it was about time to go, we went to the lobby to wait for our transport. while waiting, i had a nice chat with marhaini. teeheehee. she actually kinda saw my phone, and began asking me about my boyfriend. i think she's a nice and trusted friend, so i told her about baby. yay, almost the same reaction as teckson. haha! it's been nice talking to her anyways. we decided to meet together before going for work the next day, which the both us are working 11am. (:
anyhows, i finally reached home at 2.30am, and turned in only at 3am. i had insomnia again. didn't really slept well in the end. slept for about 4hours only and i'm up. zzz.
saturday
woke up at 9am and got ready for work. I'M SUPER SLEEPY! but i've got no choice. :/ reached the changing room at about 10.30am, and marhaini was waiting for me to get changed. went to the canteen to rot for 10minutes, and at the same time chit-chat with teckson. at 11am, then we went upstairs to report. baby was no where in sight at that time, but jap and jing xuan were around since 8am. haha!
began tying chair bows while waiting for all the staffs. sam and steven began having a small competition to see who ties the nicer bows. all of us were the judge, and in the end, steven won. haha, lame lah. once everyone's present, ramesh assigned us our tables. oh, it was a wedding buffet today. so 1 person to 2 tables. i take table 1 and 2. after which, i went to serve cocktail. teckson was talking to me about baby, then blah blah blah. so funny. i'm lazy to blog in details. tired. zzz.
when the lunch began at 1ish, there's the march-in and stuffs. the guests began diggin in their food. baby was back from don't where to be in the ballroom, and he's always nearby. teehee. (: like any other buffets, all we did were clearing and checking of beverages. but today's slightly different because i had to carry the oval trays in myself. boohoohoo. so each time i wanna carry my oval tray in, i'll stack as little stuffs as i can manage before i carry them in. i overestimated a couple of times, and i tried to carry. IN THE END, baby came to rescue. he helped me carry in most of the trays. teeheeheehee! =D once in awhile, we will go to the back to nibble food (as always). baby even came and get me to go eat this really expensive and nice chocolate cake at the back. hahahaha.
wells, everything's like normal loh. the lunch ended at about 4pm and we did turnover for tonight's wedding dinner. ramesh actually forgotten to gave us time to eat earlier on, until baby told him about it. so he gathered everyone and we helped ourselves to leftover buffet food. LOL. like the other time, we take the food and gathered on one table to eat. haha! halfway through eating, the groom actually came into the ballroom to talk to steven. OMG. then all of us quickly stood up and keh siao do clearing then siam to kitchen continue to eat. hahaha, so funny.
continued to work after that. ramesh gave each of us a few tables to clear and set up for dinner. i was in charge of 3 tables. changed the table clothes all that, then do set-up. haha, jap came and help me, then he told me some really cold jokes. it's cold but sure do crank me up. stupid donut and dumpling joke! lol. we were doing our work till the 5pm and 6pm staffs arrived then they helped us out too. sat at a corner with marhaini, jing xuan, baby, tracy, lulu and xia yun to fold napkins after that.
at 6pm, we had briefing by jovin again. i so badly didn't wanna stay back to help out the dinner, because i'm really very tired. there were there 8am staffs, jap, jingxuan and ahboon, who sure will go back. then they can afford to let one 11am staff home. SO, i gave samsi this look-at-my-tired-eyes face, then ramesh and him let me go home! hahaha. but before that, i was in the ballroom with the three 8am staffs to settle the chocolates and doorgifts. then i went "shopping" with jap downstairs to look for some stuffs. then we took this opportunity to go toilet then go canteen drink water, before doing what we were supposed to do. haha!
and at 7.30am, i was finally signed out. so now jovin owes me half hour pay, because i worked more than 8hours and had to minus 1/2 break hours which i didn't went for break at all. will claim it back from him on monday. *REMINDER* haha. so jingxuan and i quickly went to change, then together with jap, we walked outta hotel together. silly jap forgot to take his bus pass somemore. so jingxuan accompanied to walk till the overhead bridge which i need to cross to go over bugis, before we parted. hmm, jing xuan was suspecting my boyfriend's from conrad too. she kept guessing and guessing, yet i don't dare to tell her. not that i don't trust her, but because she's melvin's friend. jing xuan kept assuming it's wilson, which is correct lah, but i denied. geez, sometimes all these made me REALLY wanna make our relationship open in conrad. maybe can hoh, since baby's not the coordinator already. hmmm.
i walked as fast as my legs could carry me to bugis, because baby was there waiting for me. he knocked off earlier than me, and had waited for me for 1 and half hour already. teehee. reached there about 8.15pm, then we had our dinner at Pastamania. i brought up about the idea of me joining peiyun to work at some pubs to baby, and he wasn't that happy about it. so guess he won't let me work there loh. haha, nevermind. he actually suggested me to change a job, instead of staying in conrad, because conrad's getting tougher and tougher as the days go by. hmmm, i don't think so i wanna stop working and change environment. banquet is the most suitable flexible hours job that i can have to juggle between work and school. so yeah. and oh, it's actually NOT that bad to work alone afterall, considering the past 2 days at work had been pretty enjoyable with people like marhaini, jing xuan and jap around. teehee. ((:
after dinner, we took 130 to baby's place to rot. haha, that poor boy's computer broke down! he reformatted the whole thing, and now all his files are gone. ouch* while he's fixing his computer, i actually dozed off on the sofa. i'm really very tired lah. left his place at 11ish, and i bought home supper for my family. oh, my brother bought a new phone. he bought the same model as mine - Sony Ericsson K700i. and has changed to become M1 user. haha! and i've took baby's bluetooth adaptor for him to transfer song, and for me to change my songs. lol.
and now i'm finally back home. tomorrow i won't be working, and i should REALLY take a gooooooooooooooood rest, before i'm going to work my ass off the next few days. thank goodness for pei yun to replace me tomorrow night, if not i'll be a zombie soon. haha! i know i'm weak. :x anyhows, monday i'm working with peiyun at 6pm, and tuesday our timing's changed to 10am. shucks, i'm so dead. oh, baby gonna cancel my friday booking, as that's his off day. (: ALRIGHT, off to bed. goodnights.
