Y shoulder's aching!
shan't blog about what happened in school yesterday, as it's pretty nothing much. merely had an hour of wrap up lessons for our event management and we were off.
went to work at 4ish. didn't felt really good at work, as i'm feeling really lethargic the whole day. after changing and having a light dinner in the canteen with li'e, we went to the ballroom to report at 6pm. sam was in-charge of the turnover, so he assigned us all the duties. did many miscelleneous stuffs, before we had our briefing by samsi at 7pm. late uh? everything's so rush aiight.
samsi sucks at assigning tables! he assigned me to a first day TCC staff, a girl somemore! i didn't know about it until i'm back from ushering when the door opens at 8ish. needless to say, i'm the runner loh. yay, i was the usher at the salons side during cocktail. when the door opens, i communicate with my partner for the first time. her name is qiao fan, and she's bloody tall can. she ought to be stronger than me, no? then she told me it's her first day in conrad. man, why didn't she tell samsi during the briefing?! then i had to chop-chop bring her around to familarize with the place and where to get things and all.
during first course presentation, we normally present our food to our guests, then bring the platter back to the side station for us to portion right? she actually wanna put on the susan on the table, and the center piece is still on the susan!! don't she have the common sense?? then i quickly tapped her and told her to bring the platter to the side station. alright, so i did the portioning and stuffs. occasionally, steven and samsi will come and help me. as for the soup which is ultra heavy for me, so buddhi helped me to pick up.
runner job wasn't easy. at least for me. i was pespiring all over. i said samsi sucks at assigning tables, because even phoebe had to be runner! she even fell down in the midst of it. her side station is just beside me anyway. poor thing alright. :/ anyhows, when samsi helped me to portion the fish, i complained to him saying why he gimme a first day staff to me. i thought normally first day GIRL is usually for a "old bird" guy to take care? haha, after complaining to him, he will come over a few times to help me out.
i was struggling throughout the night. my left shoulder was aching like hell already. i was to busy to even know how the wedding couple looks like, or any other programs going on. my partner's slow. slow is okay, but she walks VERY slow. she's practically sashaying alright. come on loh, you're working and not having some kind catwalks fashion shows! what making me ultra mad was that, she's already so slow, and yet still got the cheek to say her phone's vibrating, then without waiting to hear what i'm gonna say, she walked to the backlane to answer call, leaving all the portioned food there not served. what the hell. i wanted so much to scream. grrr.
finally. i struggled it throughout. although i'm new in the runner jobs, i'm still pretty proud of myself for not being the last one in picking up food each time. :x but still, i hate to be a runner. MY SHOULDER'S ACHING LIKE HELL. ): riight, we gathered at the backlane at 11pm for steve to choose the stay back staffs. i went in late, because lu hua came down from 4th floor to ask me go over to the bar fridge. teehee. he gave me fruit punch to drink. anyways, i had to stay back loh. steve was in charge of the turnover that night. haha, he rocks lah. gimme chicken feet chores. i only had to use a trash bag to take all the flower petals to throw and clear away pink runners. then halfway through, ramesh asked me to follow li'e up to the wedding couple's room to send some stuffs up. so i slacked with li'e for quite some time. we slacked till we missed the chance of saying we don't want to stay anymore during the 12am gathering.
so we had to help turnover till 1am before we were let off loh. but lucky for me, i merely had to prepare those paper and pens thingy. :x went to change at 1am, before taking the 1.30am transport. talked on the phone all the way home till before i turned in at 3ish. i was uber tired. i need a massage badly. ): tonight i'm working at 6pm again. PRAY hard i get a goody partner pleaseeeeeeee. :/
before that, i'm going off to prepare to meet my classmates to go over lye hong's place bai nian. lol, it's day14 of CNY, second last day of CNY, and we're still gotta bai nian. how cool is that? alright, laters~ (:
