groggy groggy
this is groggy germaine typing in an entry. blah.
as night got to serve in a gala dinner, which was hella interesting and fun. =) its western so there were 4 sets of dishes instead of the Chinese's 8 sets. much more easier, i must say. its a blend of 3 different groups of people, namely Chinese, Malay and of cuz the Americans. there was a chinese performance on someone who can change a mask real fast. very fascinating.
a mini casino was opened last night and i had to serve cocktail drinks. more alcohol drinks.
here are the dishes served :
appetizer - bread (4 different kinds)
soup - clear mushroom soup [it smells heavenly. mouth waters*. haha.]
prawns and beef - tiger prawns with a bit of mango and tender steak.
desert - green tea pudding with a little waffle and mango ice something. [this is the best dish! the mango is like a frozen ice cream, named with a French name. super nice! the staff had some in the kitchen and when the mango ice cream was in my mouth, it gave me BRAIN FREEZE!]
OH! and i learnt how to serve red and white wine too! haha. i didn't drip and on the table too! haha. i was appointed to serve along with one of the senior captains for the reserved seats. He said that i learn things fast and i do waitressing like i'm born to do it, if i carry on with the good work, i''ll be serving the VIP table the next dinner! super shocked. during Chinese New Year period like on the 23rd, Helmisan (one of the manager) asked me to waitress in one of the major events. brr. this is going wayyyy too fast for me. don't know if i should be happy about this but i sure have a tinge of nervousness! haha.
made a few new friends yesterday. one is Sylvester, he's from Africa. really open and friendly, very nice to talk to. he told us all about Africa. seems that Africa isn't the way we picture it to be. it is much better now, more civilised and modernised. another is Shi Sha, she's from china and she's really nice. she taught me many new things! such as skirting the tables, polishing wine glasses. =) the 3rd is Lian Tun, from china too. he helped me with the setting up of the tables. all of them including andy stayed back with me until 2 plus. gosh, super tired.
YAY! meeting Jade later! haha. going for my apple juice interview.
BUH-BYEEEE!!!!
