hello hello!
I GOT THE RAFFLES JOB!!!!!!!! hahaha! so now i have to juggle part time jobs between Regent and Raffles. yay! now i have more things to do. i can't go out cuz i'll tend to spend money and i can't afford to do that right now cuz i'm so so broke. staying at home is also out of the question as i can just die of boredom after i have done reading all the library books. so going to work is the best option. i get to go out and instead of spending money, i earn them! haha.
yesterday is my second day of work! haha. not as exciting as Saturday though. felt kinda lost cuz Qian Feng wasn't working yesterday. BOO. haha. still love the job just the same. =) i just stood outside the royal ball room for like 4 hours while a meeting was being held in there. bleach. i met the other manager (iskandar) yesterday and he asked me to put on more make up. =( so i went back to the ladies and Ding Jie lent me her blusher and lippie.
when the guest came out for coffee break, i had to clear and replenish the cups, tea, places, milk, take away rubbish, dirty cups, tea spoons and plates. most of them are Americans and they are The Abott Group. don't know what the heck they are holding functions for. after the function, i mingled and informed them that their cocktail reception was at the second floor, by the pool. then i had to direct some of them there.
OHOH! haha. i screwed up once. haha. iskandar asked me to look out for the couple with a neck tag that says Russian Holiday. i found one who has the tag Russian Federal so i asked if he is the one. then a lady walked up to me and she asked where is the pool. i said, "the pool? are u going for the welcome FEDERAL?" it sounds wrong and i caught myself a wee bit too late. the lady seem confused. i laughed and said, "i'm so sorry, mdm. i meant the welcome RECEPTION." luckily, she laughed too and nodded. i directed her and told the incident to auntie and iskandar, they laughed at me. haha. i can't believe i can say wrong things just like that. wasn't using my brain at all. haha.
my legs hurt from standing for 8 hours. another manager came and he asked me if i am tired, i nodded my head furiously. he laughed and led me into Tanglin Meeting Room 3. there, i sat and rested for like 5 minutes before going out again to assist the guests. they will be having their Gala Dinner this thursday and i'll be serving!! whee!!! haha. there will be wedding dinners on both saturday and sunday! yay! haha. i love grand dinners, duno why.
i made another new friend and she's auntie. haha. she is very nice and i like her a lot. we went to rearrange the table and straightened out everything in the Royal Ballroom. auntie is a very good working companion. she talks a lot of chinese and fortunately i can make out what she was telling me so there wasn't any communication break down. she's working in Raffles too so she had to go home earlier. Iskandar asked me to have dinner with him but i said i need to go home for dinner. he said that if i don't, he'll deduct my pay. wth lo. grr. so i followed him into the staff canteen and i sat there while he ate. bleach. then he sent me home. sighhhh..
anyway, yesterday was quite fun. need go shopping for make up. bleach. so i'm meeting Jade tmr!!!!! YAY YAY!!! hahaha! going for dinner with her before shopping, i guess. but most importantly, i get to see her again, after not seeing her for about a week. HAHA!
this is to a girl and u know who u are. i'm gona make this as short as i can.
stop bossing me around. i'm not ur paper doll. i've my limits and u've so crossed the line. don't u ever yell at me. i hate it when ppl yell at me as though my ear drums are not functioning anymore, especially if its for those small freaking things. don't u get angry with me for small things that u can't understand. i can't make it for ur stupid party cuz i was working till 2 am the night before so i overslept. i was so tired la. u can't understand and got angry with me instead. like what am i supposed to do? go to the party and doze off? u'll probably hammer me on the head for not paying attention as u talk about urself. i even said sorry though there wasn't a need to. u're probably the most self-centred person i've known. who the hell will bother about what u wore the week before? u laugh so loudly at ur own lame jokes and its irritating. others silently glared at u and u are so oblivious to those glares. the other time, my eyes hurt and i asked nicely if u can stop flickering those torch lights. damn u, u senselessly continued. i kept quiet and walked away cuz i couldn't take it anymore. what did u do? yell at me for ditching u behind. don't u get why i kept walking away from u? i'll be there for u like i promised when ur ex broke up with u but that doesn't mean that u can walk all over me. u called me at the wee hour, so fine, i picked up the call and talked to u. when i dozed off, u accused me of being unsupportive. i'm not a robot on 24/7! i need my sleep now that i'm working. i don't mind doing things for u but not when u misuse me. maybe in ur eyes, i'm ur slave. but i'm telling u, i'm not.
