latest update for today
early morning at 9 am, we reported to Raffles Hotel as we were involved in the lunch service at Raffles Grill for their annual Wine, Food and Arts event (WFAe)
i loved their uniform for it looked really smart :)
anyway, had quite a lot of people there...
sher, bel, val, joyce, my dear and many more.
had lotsa fun working with these people
especially under Lawrence, who was the manager of Long Bar.
during intervals, we found out that Lawrence knows
Daniel Chia (a.k.a Mr-appointment-must-be-made-48hrs-beforehand-or-i-wont-entertain) and
Darren Neo (a.k.a. Mr-Doraemon-sabai-KTV-siao-with-2-lovely-kids-named-after-popular-singers). Apparently, Neo and him were good friends...and we totally could see why - same vibe, same craziness and same sense of fun.
the event we did was Lunch with Jacques & Laurent Pourcel @ Raffles Grill.
these are award-winning chefs, excellent excellent food and grumpy faces.
haha
it's true!
seems to me all good chefs come with grumpy faces.
oh well
to me, today didnt go very well...for a couple of reasons:
1. we were made to wear white gloves for service, which made the landing of dishes extremely tricky. in the first place, the plates were already heavy. plus the soup dish had 2 plates and a bowl (all without underliners) and it was freaky. super freaky to serve. it made me look like i couldnt serve for nuts. but i'm innocent! not my fault............... ok maybe i still need to brush up on my fine-dining service skills but it definitely was a great experience.
2. there was one particular person in the team who was extremely annoying. couldnt stop talking, couldnt stop complaining and just like one other guy in our HTM course, cant seem to take a step back - must always attract attention to him/herself. pissed the shit outta me. thank gos it was only for those few hours. if i have to work with her continually, i'll just faint.
3. i wasnt feeling too well...since the past few days. could be that my stomach flu from last week hasnt completely recovered, but mystomach hurt and i was feeling a little faint on and off. sigh.
but one good thing though...i've found myself a job to keep me occupied for my upcoming holidays... Lawrence will welcome me to Long Bar and i'll take this opportunity.
i'm sick and tired of not earning my own money and perpetually having to ask mummy for money...especially since she's trying hard to keep the family afloat.
and my baby...have to stop sponging off him and using his money.
shall depend on myself from now on =D
after work at 3,
dear and i went to Haagen Dazs at Raffles City to eat our long-craved-for FONDUE!!!
yum yum
fingerlicking good...
thanks baby... enjoyed it to bits...we were so tired that we went home straight after that...
he took a cab, and i took the train...
peak hour on MRT = no seats.
bleah
tired like shit
now, i'm blogging while waiting for dinner...and tonight, i've gotta mug.
time to make up for lost time.
i aim to complete studying Lodging by tonight:)
confident that i can do it *beams*
bye all...
everyone's mugging...happy studying!!!
