I am so back-logged I dunno how to start. WTF. So happening meh? >.>
No larrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
It was work ALL THE WAY.
I think Tania hates my guts. Coz I had six shifts and on Monday, it was just set-up. Like the whole crew was there to just do set-up for the functions on Tues. I am rarely in the set-up crew. It's like Tania wants to use up all of me sekali gus wtf.
Monday: Set up - 10.5hours
Tuesday: Dinner + Set-up - 9hrs
Wednesday: Dinner + Set-up - 9.25 hours
Thurs: Dinner + Set-up + MEP - 12hrs
Fri: Lunch + Dinner + MEP - 11.5hours
Sat: Set-up + Dinner - 12hours
Sun: Mosaic: 4.75hours
Sun???
Yeah lor.....on Sat afternoon Andrea and Lucy this new assistant manager personally came down to B2 and begged the banquets crew to work. Only the three stupid girls aka Christy, Sun Ju and I said yes.
Andrea was like 'Lesley, you can come at 10am and leave at like 3pm' so I was like 'Yeah ok'.
It has been a interesting week. It being my busiest to date and also my sickest week wtf. I have a flu, cough and sore throat at the same time. Dunno why but I have never been sick this long ok. It started on Tuesday all the way to today.
Grace kept on saying 'Lesley, please don't die on me!! I need you for the next few days!!'.
Mikey is so weak la. Body big only, immune system like shit. I talked to him for like 30 seconds on Wed night and the very next day, he woke up with a cold too. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHA!!!
Grace was sick, Mary was sick and quite a few others.
So we had all the usual lunches/dinners and stuff. The Liberal Party came in and Tony Abbott was like yeah we will cut this cut that. Vote for me wtf.
That Liberal party lunch was on a Friday and we have a buffet dinner for the Hillsong People. If you do not know what Hillsong is, neither do I. But the local peeps told me that it's a singing church.
On that day, everyone who did lunch was doing the MEP at the back of house for the dinner period. Except me.
My the sky ah!! See......this proves that Tania hates me. Everyone was sitting down polishing, folding and stuff and I'm there getting ready for another buffet dinner.
And this Hillsong buffet dinner is like another church session but instead of in a church, it's in a expensive hotel.
What's worse than sitting down listening to a pastor preach? Standing up and listening to him preach WTF.
It's the gayest shittttt ever to be listening to a session while standing and your feet are about to die on you, ON A FRIDAY NIGHT!
I was SO angry! I mean, usually I would be like whatever, it's work so get over it. Banquets is no place to give an attitude. But on that day, my flu was super bad, cough was getting worse and I have been working for 5 days straight and I was THE ONLY ONE from lunch working at the dinner. My mood was sooooo foul.
As I was walking past the lunch crew at BOH, Myling was like 'Lesley, are you alright? Do you want to sit here and fold napkins while I go in there to clear?'. From Tuesday until the last night, everytime people see me, their first question is 'Are you OK?'. Yeah, I'm hella fine. Otherwise I wouldn't be here, would I? Geez.
I gave her an absolutely expressionless face and said NO, I'M FINE. I'm not angry at any of them. I'm just angry at the whole situation like why couldn't I get sick at another time or why is Tania only putting me to work in dinner, you know. Fucken bitch.
So like yeah. I was little 'Miss Attitude' there for a bit.
Myling was like asking me yesterday 'Are you still angry, Lesley?'. Of course, I'm not.
Last night was like the happiest day of my life wtf. Sat night was the biggest dinner we have for that week. About 800pax, it was tight!
And I was the floater!! I only did main course for the first 3 days and then on Fri and Sat, I was floater for both functions. I think it's because Grace and Adam knows I'm coughing like fuck so it's not that ideal for the guests to see me coughing at their plates. *wink*
And I did not do pre-dinner drinks as well for Sat's dinner. I was in the cloakroom with Hiroka! I love Sat!
I did not have to clear much too because at 11.30pm, I was called back to the cloakroom again and stayed there folding napkins until the function finished at 1am which by then most of the tables were cleared already. Muahahhahah!! I guess that will make up for the Friday shit.
No lar..I think it's because Grace and Adam knows I have not been feeling well for the past few days.
I was the only girl who started at 1pm and at 1.30am, Reza, Jacky, Apollo, Kar, Ryan, MJ, Alkis, Mikey and I signed off!! Woooootsss!! We decided to go to Haru Fusion for soju!
Obviously I did not intend to drink at all. I even ordered green tea as my main drink. Then Alkis made fun of my tea :((
"RES-REYYY! How's your tea????!"
Res-rey is the Chinese way to say my name wtf. Apolo sneered at my tea boohoo then Mikey poured me half a shot of soju which I downed in a gulp. Woooooopppie! I'm back!! FTW.
Another 3 half shots, I'm halfway there. But I cannot be there wtf coz I have to work at 10am tomorrow morning.
Today at work was siennn la! I was late to work for 20mins because I lost my proxy card yet again! Second time! It must have been last night at Haru coz Mikey kept my bag with the others and it must have fell out! Drink la drink summore! Mahai.
And I spilled a whole bucket load of dirty cutlery mixed with day old cold coffee/juice/water/spit wtf on the lift floor. Great! FAIL NO.1.
So fucken happy to sign off at 3pm!
*******
Mikey is such a typical Korean guy! He asked if I mind dating guys of other races, I said as long as there is mutual attraction then even if the guy is African I don't mind. Then his reply?
"Ooooo..black people 'very big' you know. Just like the one next to Hiroka"
Hiroka was sitting next to a fire extinguisher. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!
We then asked if he was always big since a little boy. He told us he was able to buy cigarettes when he was 13 and his mum only found out he smoked when he was 28. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHH!!!!
*********
I have also been working closely with the new peeps at work. Billy is a HongKie and Egan is Indon both from Blue Mountains. Wesley is from ICMS and Vittoria is an Italian lady who is in her late 20s. I'm quite friendly with Billy and Egan but Wesley and Vittoria are still so-so.
Vittoria only eats protein and makes fun of Grace and I's instant cup noodles. FAIL NO.2.
Dunno how she can manage working 12 hours with just a cup of protein mousse and protein bar. If me ah, confirm give up already la.
Joseph quit suddenly and do you know? Jorge is gay.
When Mary told me, I was like 'NO WAYYYYYYYY! Are you serious??!'.
She sensed that Jorge might be one so one day, she asked him 'Do you have a bf, Jorge?'. He said yes.
OHHHH!! So cute!!! I love Jorge! He's slightly effeminate but is not OTT. Too bad I mistaken him for an Indian at first wtf.
*********
Tomorrow is my first day off since last week. I have 3 shifts in banquets next week on Thurs, Sat and Sun. As for now, I am working Tues night in Mosaic.
I'm going to love tonight's sleep!
