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！
