Y wine&dine.
here's an entry before i hit the sack. earlier on when i wanted to blog, blogger seems screwed up, so i watched nanny mcphee before i try again. anyways, i'm feeling really sleepy, yet my body's used to staying up till really "early" already. ohwells. :/ OH! have i mentioned that i've finished watching ai qing he yue! the show's great, but the ending is a lil disappointing. right, probably watching er zhuo ju zhi wen next. (:
right, worked at 5pm today. tonight's function was some SIA wine tasting fusion mix dinner. ramesh divided all the staffs in a 5 people to 4 tables basis. 3 runners, 1 server and 1 wine server. in my team, there were aizat, a china guy, dai xuan, jing min and myself. i was the runner! initially, rahmad was in our team, then was swapped over to dai xuan aftermath. i felt weird when i went to pick up, because i was like the only female runner, together with tini.
during cocktail, there was this rose champagne to be pretrayed. and because of a quiz regarding the type of grape used in the wine, we were not supposed to show the bottle of champagne to any guests. so guests were like requesting more and more of the champagne to try. there were shortage of glasses, then people were crowding around the bar counter to get their drinks. lu jia, wilson and all the bartenders were really busy pouring the champagne. oh man, it was chaos, but still manageable for all. (:
during dinner, everything went pretty smoothly. i should thank ramesh for putting me as runner, because there were too many different kinds of wines to serve, and so many different phases of serving. however, my team got hold of the whole thing pretty well. although i don't quite like aizat, but he's a great worker. always let me carry lesser oval trays, despite that we've divided the numbers of trips we've to make altogether. haha! other than running the food, we've gotta help to serve and clear at times too. tho there were quite a numbers of pointers to take note of, we were still pretty alert. =D
dinner ended at 9ish close to 10pm, then we gathered. ramesh got daixuan, miza, pei xuan, aunty jamie and myself to take all the showplates to wipe and wrap for tomorrow's outside catering (OC). there were over 200 pieces of them aiight!! the 5 of us got all the showplates to the office pantry to wash using the dishwasher and wipe them in salon 5. i was in-charge of wrapping them using newspapers and flip-chart paper. and at 11am, ramesh sent pei xuan and aunty jamie home, then left miza, dai xuan and i to complete the rest.
the 3 of us were sitting on the floor in salon 5 working and grumbling. we were damn hungry alright! and when finally we were done, it was already 12.30am and we were signed out. changed and took 1.30am transport home. my transport pass by upper thomsom road today, and i can't help but reminisce. i noticed the prata shop is not opened? i thought its 24hour? ohwells, i miss that place. :/
well, tomorrow's my off day and i'll be meeting kengey. (: oh, mery told me today that she'll most probably put nnp, froggie and i to work outside catering (OC) at zouk on next tuesday!! oh my, my virgin trip to the zouk, and its to work and not club. lol. i love OC most of the times, because it's an advantage to female staffs, plus there extra $7.50 allowance! anyways, this 2 weeks there'll be lots of OC going on, but most of it they need guys. this thursday onwards, there'll be this OC for 10days which they require guys, and it's outside taka. if im not wrong. awwww, good money man. :x
damn, 2days to doom's day. FRIDAY!!! our semestral exams results will be released. wonder how will i fare this time round.. hmm. :/ right, off to bed! goodnights~
