"Ahhhh the loading's done"

Donovan looked at the screen.

Hmm, he thought.

His cursor move towards that box. That box, with the icon of a lion.

"I choose you," he muttered. (Okayy this sounds like pokemon)

*Player blahblahblah has chosen the Stealth Assasin, Rikimaru (SA)*

Donovan cursed.

Never mind, he thought. He probably won't be so lucky to be laning against SA.

The creep waves came, and fought.

Donovan cannot believe his eyes. In front of him, was a purple, ninja-like character. The SA.

"HOOO NOESSSSSS!" Donovan exclaimed. He was that lucky.

He hurriedly told his team mates. They gasped in shock.

"OMG I MUST CONTAIN SA! I CANNOT LET HIM FARM! I MUST OWNNNN!" Donovan tried to psycho himself.

His team mates were shocked. Donovan was taking this too seriously. After all, the only consequence is that they will lose the game.

"I MUST CONCENTRATE AND FARM OMGGG!" Donovan told his team mates excitedly.

Meanwhile, TBT and Terence were in another lane. When they saw Donovan's message, they were stunned.

Because its so bloody funny.

The thing is, being assholes, they went to repeat those funny lines that Donovan said. This went on for quite some time.

But anyway thanks to Donovan's conntainment of SA, they won the game.

Hooray Donovan!

-------------------------------------------------------

Okay this part was requested by TBT. So Don if you're reading this, not my problem.

Anyway I am damn tired right now.

The guys are having roti prata at Thompson right now, but I am here blogging.

Because I went for my primary school's gathering, at Sentosa.

Initally it was Sentosa. But apparently because of the weather and long queue we decided to stay at Vivo. The whole day -.-

But though its quite sian in the beginning, overall it was still quite fun. Initially the guys were very quiet, including me. And everything was sian, because we had nothing to do. When the girls went to eat, the guys didn't go because we were not hungry.

But it was more fun in the end, because we played 'Murderer'. I know Felicia will be excited after seeing this.

Murderer was quite fun. Because I played it MY STYLE :D Which means a lot of saboing and crap from me.

Anyway it was the first time today that we actually had an activity. And I think everyone was involved. The only sad thing is that only about 8-10 people were there, the rest left early on.

But overall it was good, and I wouldn't mind to go again :D

But first, I must catch some sleep, because I will be going to malaysia tomorrow.

Waking up at 5 plus to prepare for the trip is not funny. And I haven't packed my clothes yet :O

The main objective for the trip is that my mum's cousin is getting married. So we will be attending a wedding banquet.

Banquet. I am a banquet waiter. Hia hia hia. Those poor people who will be serving me are gonna die.

While serving at Hyatt, I was played around by some kids. They were being real playful, everytime I pour tea for them, they will quickly mumble between themselves and gulp down the tea.

Then they will ask me to refill. Then they quickly drank the soft drink. And ask me to refill also.

What the hell man, I walked to the bar counter back and forth just to refill their bloody drinks. Then they ask for more ice, then purposely some weird requests. They even asked for my name -.-

So this time, those waiters gonna get hell.

I am going to ask for green chilli. When he/she is back, I am going to ask for ketchup. Then I will ask for a soft drink. After that I will frown at her while he/she's serving the shark's fin soup, and stare at her. Then I will ask for his/her name, using that serious tone.

I tell you, she's gonna soooo freaked out that she quit.

Yay mission accomplished :D

「 invaded it on 12:12 PM 」

YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Back from basketball.

Anyway, we were posted to RCCC aka Swissotel on friday.

That was the 3rd time that we will be working in RCCC. So normally, we will be handling 2 tables each.

And this time, its 141 tables. Which amounts up to at least 1410 people in the ballroom. There might still be more since the tables are 11pax, which means 11 per table. Imagine serving the whole of our school. Maybe plus half from the one beside us.

1 person to 2 tables is freaking tough. When you have to set the plates, clear, bring the food, portion, all these will make you go crazy. And the thing is, RCCC demands speed. So you will have to rush like crazy.

So we put "2nd timers" on the name list.

Then they assigned the tables.

I got 2 Muslim tables, together with my partner.

Then I asked him how long have he been working for, he said that's his first time.

I was stunned. So I thought I cannot xia suay myself, and gave a very professional face.

By the way his name is Sheng Dong, I kept thinking he was Sheng Wei. Then I reminded myself, "生动有趣". Done.

So I began to explain to him about all those stuff, what he had to do all that.

So he kept nodding his head like he knew everything.

And he quite knew quite a lot man.

All those sai kang that I didn't want to do, like collect plates, I asked him to do.

Then I place the side plates.

Normally when I carry the big oval tray, I will get very tired. But this time no, because my thumb is injured by TBT. He jumped for the ball and while grabbing it down he accidentally smash the ball into my thumb -.-

So we distribute the weight, and both of us carried it, since he could not carry it himself. He's a bit taller than Sheng Wei, and of bigger build, but still he looks like a 小弟弟 beside me.

Long story cut short, that day was quite smooth, and nothing really big happened. Then we also did OT till around 2pm, and went for a meal.

So we met a China guy at the lift, and we began to talk crap and he also laughed with us. Then we returned the uniforms together, throwing the uniform anyhow. Then we went to the canteen to get some water, but since we were also hungry and there's noodles in front of us, we could not resist the temptation.

Then I asked the same China guy whether we can eat. He said can, and we queued up. Then halfway, the vendor said that we must wear our uniform to get a meal. Bloody hell.

And that guy also went with us, his situation was very funny. He queued up, got some rice, and while waiting for the chicken he was booted out of the queue, to take his uniform.

That guy's name was Chen Guo Wen (CGW) I think. Don asked his name so that I could blog about it :P

So he ate with us, and signed out with us, then we had to split in the end because he was allocated to a different bus.

But before he left, we checked with another guy to find out which bus we were on. Then CGW was pointing to his name and struggling to say something. The guy was pissed off, then he started chattering like a monkey, and say "What the f*** are you talking?"

FWAH we all kena stunned. Then when CGW finally said, "That's my name", then the guy said, "Next time say properly la. You there dunno talk what, trying to piss me off is it?"

Seriously I think his whole family died or something. Because he seemed very frustrated, and wanted to kill people. Furthermore he chatted like a monkey. Just joking.

(Hey man I am sorry if you see this, but this is really what you did and said.)

So Budifatass, Donfatty and Zong Qin went on the same bus, then me and TBT on the other. On the bus, I thought of something.

I don't really want to move on to JC, Poly, whatever. I wanna be stuck in secondary school all my life. In my perfect world no one will retain, all will be promoted, we will all move on together, as a cohort. Seemed like 4 years had gone so quickly. I won't be seeing some of you again, and I would rather go to school and chat, sleep in Janice Zhang's class, and eat in that disgusting canteen.

But bang we are going to move on, maybe I won't see Kah Him ever again, or Sheng Wei, or Sheng Dong. Okay shit wrong name.

The feeling is quite terrible. Maybe that time in the bus was the only time I can get some peace. Because TBT is sleeping soundly beside me.

Anyway we worked yesterday again. Back to Hyatt.

I got a wonderful partner who did everything. I felt sort of guilty and useless. Seriously its hard to adapt because the situation here and in RCCC is completely different.

Hopefully things will turn out right. And this time I almost broke a stack of plates.

While arranging the plates on a side station, the side station could not support the heavy weight of the plates, and almost fell. Luckily for my quick reaction (smirk), I was able to hold it until some manager came and rescued me :D

Anyway I kio some stuff, a small bowl of noodles, and the desert, chilled mango cream with aloe vera and sago. The noodles was korean noodles with rice vermecilli. All along I wanna taste the noodles because it looks so freaking delicious. Yesterday, courtesy of TBT and Don, I managed to get a bowl :D

Its heavenly. Its really shuang because I like to eat noodles :D

Okay I shall continue my adventures in the next post!

------------------------------------

Something cool happened just now. While playing game, I felt thirsty and drank from the cup on my table.

Then I took one mouthful, and looked at my msn list.

"Fwah today not much people online ah."

The water is still in my mouth. I was going to swallow it.

Then I saw a small fly/beetle in my cup.

It was still wriggling, apparently trying to swim in the deep pool of "SPRAKLING CREAN" water.

Walao luckily I dillie dallied. If not I would have drank the water and chewed his crunchy body.

Yucks.

Anyway I got the photo, which was taken at RCCC aka Swissotel.


店小二驾到！

「 invaded it on 12:02 AM 」

YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Last week we almost got no job to do.

But luckily the agency found slots for all of us, at Raffles City Convention Centre (RCCC). (Omfg I thought its cross country club -.-)

Okay this might sound ulu, but that's because its the old name.

Now it's called Fairmont Hotel, or maybe more familiar to you guys, Swissotel.

It's near City Hall MRT station.

So we went on Sunday, our first time there.

The uniform is quite ugly. At Grand Hyatt you look like a mafia gangster, cool and smart. You only need dark shades. At RCCC you look like a 店小二.

No joke, the uniform is grey and with the black pants, you look wonderful, like some ah pek cleaning toilets in the hotel.

We haven't really get to take photos of ourselves, but hopefully that will come soon.

Anyway, I broke some vases on my first day at RCCC.

I was clearing the decorations on the table, carrying them to the back. Then I lost concentration, I lost control of the tray and I fell onto the ground.

"PIANG~~~" Oh noes.

Got one cleaner suanned me. He was only about 20 plus years old.

“你拿花瓶也不会拿啊？这样也打破。”

Walao eh very hurtful lo :(

Then I quickly apologised and walked off.

I told them I am a first-timer (eh really lo I first timer in THIS hotel). And so the team leader told me when to do what, and other stuff.

Then once, he beckoned me over.

"Hey I got a complaint against you. The customer said he asked you to pour a drink for him and you didn't do it."

Then I explained, since I am the food server, I told the drink server in charge of the table to pour for him. But I think he had forgotten or something.

"It's okay, never mind. Next time you tell the drink server to serve the drink, then after a while you go check. If the customer still haven't get his drink, you come and report to me."

"Luckily he complained to me. If he complained to other people, they will fuck you upside down."

POWER~~~~ Nice example of hotel language.

Anyway then after that I went to the kitchen to take the fish.

The cook asked me something in a muffled voice. I cannot hear. So I "huh?"

This went on for like 3 times.

Then he got pissed off and he shouted to a guy beside him, "我问他，拿几盘鱼，他就一直跟我 huh huh huh!"

Aiyo uncle, if you starting talk in that loud voice I won't huh huh huh liao mah.

And for that day, the OT is until 6am. Breakfast at 2am. You will work till you die man.

The structure is different from Hyatt. At hyatt its a bit more slack, but at RCCC it's very xiong. But both got advantages and disadvantages.

Hyatt:

Pros
- uniform very cool
- can slack
- can work longer, own time own target

Cons
- grooming is very important, strict on the hair etc.
- utensils and cutlery used are very heavy
- very luan, like a maze ( I got lost 2 times)
- more work

RCCC:

Pros
- lax on grooming
- VERY VERY oraganised
- nice canteen
- superiors are quite kind compared to Hyatt
- less work

Cons
- damn organised, organised until you scared
- uniform sucks

Okay in Hyatt, you do everything yourself. You serve the drinks, you serve the food. Bao kah liao. The good thing is that you only need to portion up the fish (which I don't know yet), shark's fin soup, and desert.

In RCCC, good thing is there are food and drink servers. You only serve food if you're food server, vice versa. But the thing is, you have to portion up everything. Every single course except the first one.

So, workload is about the same. But I rather bao kah liao, and serve the drinks rather than portion up every course. Because you can walk around for the slightest reason and escape to safe lands.

Safe lands = without customers, like the bar counter at the back. Seriously I feel very shy and uneasy with strangers. When I serve them I will shake nervously. Like during portioning of shark's fin soup.

Then when I place the food onto the Lazy susan, I will also tremble, because its quite heavy. By the way lazy susan is the round glass thing where you can spin around.

At RCCC, you must portion 8 courses, and change side plate everytime. So you will have to carry plates in and out of the ballroom, and thats darn tiring.

Because if you are in charge of 3 tables, you need to take about 30 plates per course. Which means every 15 minutes. Then you have to clear the plates also, and carry them to the back.

Which means free gym training.

Luckily on monday, (yea we worked on monday, a public holiday -.-) I think I did quite a good job, second time at RCCC. I didn't tremble, I was more confident, and the portioning part was great too. The only kelong thing I did was that I brought too little spoons for the desert -.-

But never mind, 再接再厉！

「 invaded it on 7:39 PM 」

YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Okay I shall continue the story.

Yesterday while playing halfway, there was a little kid sitting by the court watching us.

The ball rolled out, and the little boy ran to pick it up.

Then he asked Hong Kiat if he could play.

Everyone was okay with it. We formed a team, but he didn't like it.

So he chose me, Chun Kiat, and Hong Kiat.

Maybe we were more friendly looking.

Anyway I tried to be friendly and asked him tons of questions. His name was Liang Zhen, from Naval Base primary school. And he's only 8 years old.

After a while some of us took a rest, and only TBT, NCK, Hong Kiat and Budi were playing with him.

Then he started sprouting vulagarities. I think Budi was trying to do some tricks and not give him the ball.

He said "f*** you". Initially we were saying, don't anyhow scold, we cannot pollute the kid's mind.

Apparently he knew every vulgarity we knew -.-

We wanted to play properly, so we went off for "lunch". Zong Qin was there trying to get everyone off the court.

We got the hint. We walked into Khatib central. The kid followed us.

Okayy never mind we thought. We split into groups. Some of them went NTUC, others went around. Me and Zhi Kai walked to Sheng Siong.

Apparently when me and ZK, NCK and Budi walked different ways, he stood there weighing his options.

And because Budi ka chiao him just now, he was a bit scared, then he followed me and Zhi Kai.

We walked and walked, tried to shake him off when we went into Sheng Siong and turned round and round, but we can't.

Then Zhi Kai buay tahan and asked him, "我们跟你都不熟，你为什么一直跟我们？"

He didn't know what to say. I asked him why was he following us, but he just smiled.

Then Zong Qin called, telling us to shake off the little guy and meet at NTUC. But we brought him along since we cannot get him out of the way.

When the rest of the guys saw him, they gave the OMFGWTFBBQ look.

Then Budi suggested bringing him to the police station. Tell the police that this kid is lost and he kept following us.

Hia hia hia.

So we told him not to follow. Then we split into 2 groups, TBT, NCK and Derek went to stalk him, while the rest of us watched from far.

He was adamant. He still followed us. So we went to the police station.

Derek went up to him and came up with the epic statement, "你还要跟啊? 你觉得你能跟过来吗?"

FWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH POWER~~~

Then we walked towards the police station. While turning back he was in a shop trying to buy drinks.

But I saw that he was still peeking at us.

Then he walked out, and saw us walking to the police station.

He finally gave up, and crossed the road.

While crossing the road a car rammed into him and he died. Just joking.

So finally we shook him off, and we walked through the police station and went out through the other way.

Halfway we were joking that he was going to appear at the other exit.

Then every kid we saw, we assumed them to be Liang Zhen's spy.

It was seriously damn fun :D

YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Alright today was tiring.

Anyway let me continue about the job thing.

So we got our uniforms, and went for the last minute training and spot check session.

Stayed there for a while, ate dinner, and went to the GRAND BALLROOM.

We stood in rows of 5. I was the first guy in the row. Zong Qin was behind me. The rest, TBT, Budiman, Don, and Derek formed another line.

The woman said, "Who are first timers?"

A lot of people raised their hands. Then the woman picked some.

Then she pointed towards me.

Good game. I have to serve in an unfamiliar ballroom by myself.

The lady led us to a room. Then some of them were allocated there.

But I wasn't.

She brought me, and 2 girls to another ballroom.

We were allocated there.

Some funny things happened. They say that hotel language is !@#$%^&*, full of vulagarities, and shoutings.

I went to the bar counter, and asked the uncle where is the plain water.

"你没有看到啊？在那边啦，在那边，开眼睛看一下，放冰就变成 ice water liao! 不要像sotong这样啦"

Mind you, this was shouted point blank to my face.

I quickly hurried and walked off.

Walao eh first time do mah, give chance can?

I was serving the shark's fin soup.

That table only had 3 guests, instead of 10.

They said just serve them 3 bowls, and they will take themselves. I said no, if you all still want extra servings you can just take from there.

They said okay. Anyway I am also briefed, to just fill 10 bowls, and don't care whether how many people there is.

Maybe for 好兄弟.

Anyway first time serving, I filled every bowl, but little quantity. Each bowl was about 1/4 full. Then I ran off.

They like kena stunned for a moment. Then they laughed their asses off.

Maybe I too cute la, they ask for 3 bowls full, I serve them ten 1/4 bowl full.

Then a regular went over, and filled those bowls. Then she smiled at me and said, "You ah..."

Then the guy said, "Its not his problem. You failed to guide him." She quickyl apologised, then that guy said that they were just cracking a joke.

That table really damn joker. The guy keep on asking me to get the spiciest wine for the lady. He said he have been searching everywhere but cannot find.

Spiciest wine, I thought what. So it meant the strongest la. I almost added chilli sia.

FWAH I make sure they spicy until spend 3 days in toilet.

Then the lady asked me to get a pepsi for her, even though she had a "orange crush" (think it should be miranda orange).

The guy beside her told me, "Don't be surprised, she just likes talking to you."

I stunned for a moment before replying "Okayy".

Me and my partner were in charge of 2 tables, luckily she was there to guide me. Because I don't know how to serve the noodles, cut the fish, etc.

Actually they taught us la, but I am scared that I will screw up. Especially after that shark's fin soup.

Its fun man, you can kope drinks, and maybe even some souvenirs. But must make sure that those were extras.

Then I carried the oval tray. Its damn heavy. I carried and I staggered back to the kitchen. The thing is, when I reached the door, no one was available to open the door for me. Then I saw a waitress.

She was carrying bowls. Then she said she cannot open the door. While saying that, her hand was shaking around, showing the 'No' sign.

I wanted to slap her face.

Anyway luckily someone from the inside opened the door and we got in.

There was once, that I carried a whole tray, with food on it. Apparently the customers didn't want it anymore. I was so tempted to eat them.

By the way, both tables I served, asked me which school I am from. Which is like omfg maybe they wanna complain.

After the dinner, I koped some souvenirs.

Opened it, and inside were CHOCOLATES MUAHAHAHA.

Inside it, there were 4 chocs, and I koped 5 boxes.

I gave 3 to my partner. 1 lost. I only ate one as I shared with Zong Qin, Derek and TBT, I think.

Was nice by the way.

Then we had to clear the tables and chairs. I was rolling a table happily, then I lost balance and fell. Everyone laughed -.-

Anyway I signed up for overtime, and we had a fifteen minute break, starting at 12am.

Then me and some China guy went to eat. It was buffet style by the way. So I took noodles, rice, and egg, since those were the food left.

Then I checked my phone and saw a lot of missed calls.

Chris told me that our stuff were stolen.

Initially I was like okayy if they wanna steal my worn out slippers and the 3 for 10 bucks slippers, its okay.

But I still went up.

And I got lost, trying to find the security office.

Turns out that only Derek's stuff is intact.

Apparently, his stuff is all the way inside, so people were not able to reach it.

But the rest were stolen.

Turns out that a security guard walked past and helped us kept it, in case people might steal them.

So in the end everyone's stuff was recovered. Phew.

Then they said they were going home. I went up and told my captain that I cannot stay for overtime.

So she signed, and I worked from 4 till 12.30am.

Then I went to find them. Turned out that they were setting the stuff for tomorrow.

So I thought, never mind, help them, although I am already ready to leave.

In the end I stayed for so long, that I was free labour for like 1 hour plus.

Then they say that you have to give your paper to the captain before you leave, if not no pay.

Fuck.

So I went to their captain, and asked her if she can help me submit my paper together, or something. Then I explained that my friends were here so I went here to help.

Then she gave me a weird face, then she cancelled the timing from 12.30am till 2.30 or something.

She seriously rocks.

Then I called my dad, then the transport home was by taxi, because after 12am they provide free transport.

So we can claim money and pay my dad.

Me, TBT, Don, and Zong Qin were allocated the same taxi. Budi wasn't but he sticked with us.

In the end we got a dilema, because my dad's taxi cannot fit in 5 people. (actually more cos got don and budi)

So in the end I went home with my dad, and the four of them took another cab home. Then my dad suggested we eat something, so we went some hawker in AMK to eat, then went to wash the taxi, and went to some ulu petrol station in Yishun to top up petrol.

We kept on changing places because he said that only these places' fares were cheap.

Then we reached home, at 4.30am. Finally slept at 5am.

Anyway, about the attire, we looked like mafia. Derek combed his hair like a 赌神, only missing the cards. Donovan looked funny with his centre parting. TBT looked like Hitler, same side parting. Only Zong Qin and me looked normal.

I look like a weird guy. My shoulders looked very broad. With the shoes I was quite tall. Basically a stick man.

Didn't took a photo, will take it someday.

Went for basketball at Khatib today, waited from 8.30am for the guys. Me and Zhi Kai waited like hell. Budi arrived at 9 plus, TBT at 10. Just nice, when they cleared the tables and chairs, we could play.

The good thing is they didn't remove the tentage, so we played from like 10 plus onwards till 4 plus, inclusive of a lunch break.

Something funny happened, I am going post about it tomorrow.

Got to sleep now, just now I fell asleep while playing NBA live -.-
