Y i wanna hide my emotion.
i'm so sleepy right now. and the splitting headache is killing me. zzz! hmm. because it's meritus that i'm working at this morning, thus i don't have to wake up as early as when i'm working at pan pac. that is because somerset is nearer to my place than city hall. so this morning i woke up at 5.15am and left house at 6am to take the train to meet li'e. after boarding the train, i swear i had this weird feeling that i'll bump into him. i swear. okay, when i'm on the train, i didn't see him. my back was facing the platform at that time, and i was reading my comic. when i'm at AMK, i stopped and turned behind. and there i spotted him almost instantly. and so we were on the same train, and one cabin apart. what a coincidence ya? ohwells, that was enough. sompa. (: alright, met up with li'e at about 6.40am aftermath. walked into meritus, and we waited for the housekeeping to open store and we got changed. went to 4th floor bel court and reported to alan. there were only 5 staffs working this morning, and it was some buffet breakfast for a tour group. we prepared some stuffs before standing by at 8ish. guests streamed in at about 8ish close to 9. most of them were Chinese, and sorry no offence, we seriously think they ate like pigs! they took all the food and piled up their plates with food, and even stuffed some food items into their bags, discreetly. they're even worse than a typical kiasu singaporean! plus, they were sooooo irritating! i know that our duty was to serve a guest WELL, but which normal people will stop a waitress/waiter when they had a fully loaded rectangular tray (mind you, it's heavy.) on their shoulder? i think they're abnormal. they stopped me quite a number of times when i'm about to bring in a heavy rectangular tray into the kitchen, to ask for serviettes. of cause i had to smile sweetly at them and say, "sure, will get that for you shortly." all of us were cursing and swearing at the back, and smiling sweetly in front of them. lol! and finally, all of them left at 10ish. after they left, we began turning over for the hi-tea session in the afternoon. oh, we even get to eat the buffet food after that. hahaha! and by 12ish, we were sent over to mandarin court to help out with the lunch service. by right, we were given a short lunch break. and because of li'e who was trying to stuff things into her wallet at the partition area, we were not given a break anymore. because by the time we want to go, the guests started coming. li'e, all your fault! :x lunch service was simple. it was clearing, clearing and still clearing. yay, rectangular trays again. we had this table of guests kept disturbing li'e and i. hahaha! crazy fellas, but they're funny lah. one even asked if i wanna join him go Zouk tonight. crazy! anyhows, the lunch was short and fast. and we were given some time to eat the buffet food, again! LOL. luckily we get to eat the buffet, if not i'll still be blaming li'e for having us miss our lunch break. haha! began turning over the room again. then we sat down to fold napkins. uncle vincent and uncle joe were telling us some ghost encounters in meritus. oooh, so now i know of the haunted areas in the hotel. i shall avoid those places in future. :x speakin' bout that, it's the lunar 7th month starting tomorrow. becareful and don't stay out too late in the night ya. initially, i had thought after turning over the room, we can go home. but no! li'e and i were like a ball, and were being "kicked back" to bel court to serve the hi-tea. they short of staffs, so needed our help for 1 hour. alright loh so we went there at 3pm and helped out oscar. li'e and i carried so many trays in till our shoulder bone were aching. damn, i need a massage now!!! ): and so we were released at 4pm. collin and wai seng had wanted us to work till 6pm, but we turned them down. they idiot one loh, kept thinking li'e and i were not straight. dammit! we are straight! -_- anywhoos. li'e and i had fun working today, tho' it was uber tiring to have to carry so many trays. we managed to know more friends in meritus and so on. however, i'm getting tired of this line. have i mentioned that i wanna look for another job? probably after my exams and during my FYP. i just felt banquet is too man. i don't wanna end up having muscular arms or whatsoever. and i don't wanna injured my back anymore. i wanna find a simpler job, like say, retail? i'm thinking of going back Bossini. wells, i'll see how again by then. and so li'e and i went to change. then walked to taka for some GELATO. oh man, i simply love mango gelato. haha, went home aftermath. i'm dead tired already. thank goodness i only had to go to school for a short while tomorrow morning for my MBA application demo, and that's it. shall rest well after that, as my class had chosen to go for our NAPFA on tuesday. OMG, will i be able to run 2.4km and take the 5 station without being out of breath? we'll see. :/ did the following out of boredom last night. (:
i can't get the picture of your tired face out of my mind. please take care.. (:
