first day was the event by the rotary club or sth.den i heared frm my supervisor that this organisation is very rich and famous.and they owaes donate their money to the needies and poor ones.den that night was the charity night.nathan was there oso.walked in and out like wad!?den i rmb i was serving iced water only.to this big sized lady.den she was looking at the food menu,like got wad food for that day.den after pouring the iced water into her glass some drops of water dripped onto her menu!den she realised den i was like thinking:shit,better not get into so much trouble.den i just walk away QUICKLY.haha!cuz u see arh.if i say sry sry den she will b more irritated right.so just walk away.best solution.den got another incident on the first day.i was clearing one of the guys plate.den i dropped his cutlery onto his pants and onto the grnd aft that!i was like so sry.den i stood there.dunno wad to do.i hav tot of picking it up.but seriously no space for me to do so.cuz it was under the table,and the guys were sitting quite close together(eh eh..) haha.den i stunded.den he picked it up for me and i was so embarrassing!i kept apologising.first day mah,many funny things.
2nd day was wedding.this time worst.all the parliament and nathan attended.den got even police came to check and gave us sticker to show that we r a staff there.they scared terrorist bombed the ballroom.lols.den wedding the supervisors dun wan any breakages,cuz not a good scene for a wedding.den got arnd 2-3 ppl break things.den at the end we got a de-brief.the manager went crazy.he scolded us vulgarities like 'fuk',den deduct our pay!is like got 90+ staff,some do things wrongly.u deduct all of our pay?!he went crazy and threw the metal cover all over the places.like a mad man seriously!and PLEASE MISTER,even if all of us did sth wrong,teach us!wads the pt of going to ur peak when we will just dislike u like hell,and we dun give u respect anymore?is this wad a manager shud possess?u cant even control ur emotion,not to say that u can control ur surbordinates.manager so wad?!u think that u r in a 5-star hotel,being a manager means that u r good?!now that u hav proved to all of us,that manager is such a easy thing to accomplished.and with u inside shangri-la hotel,its a disgrace and u wont help to improve the hotel service,cuz we dun respect u anymore.
there was this supervisor who told us.shangri-la has been a very popular and well-reputed hotel last time.but not now.cuz last time alot local ppl work,now is alot foreigners work there.then got the language barrier.and moreover,with this fat and black indian manager,the service wont improve but worse still,deprove.and if u need,i can lend u my organisational behaviour notes to u.teach u how to be a leader.u loser who din even studied ob.and when u scolded us 'fuk them all',i was thinking,u one person wan fuk 90+ ppl,u think u can?wad style u wan?F till next morning?lols.u hav overestimated urself man,blacky!
alright toking abt wedding,when i watched the video of the couples,i felt touching cuz i can feel how much love they had for each other.den oso when the bride gave her speech,she toked about her her times with her family,watching hongkong dramas series,and stuff.and she tok till she cried.den i was thinking marriage means alot of things.the girl will hav to leave her family and move to her husband.so during marriage the mother of the bride will cry more seriously den the groom's mother,cuz they r worried and stuff.then this couple so cool lar,cuz they r related to to the govenment ppl.must b rich arh.
den 3rd day,oso a wedding.but no more government or nathan.heng arh.cuz when they got come,u will pray so hard that u wont serve the VIP table.its either a good thing or a bad one.cuz if when u serve them,u will feel nervous and therefore feel nervous right.so u will perform slightly worse.den good thing is that if u r really good they will give u tips.haha.i think i fall into the 1st category cuz im still so new.
i heard frm my fren that shangri-la was the hotel of 2006.den i was shocked.that means it was the best hotel in spore during 2006?!i think they cannot maintain it.hahas
