Today Nixon, Hiokshian and I worked at Swissotel. Well there are many parts of it so I don't know which part of Swissotel I was working in today. That's not the main thing, the main is, IT'S BETTER THAN WORKING AT RAFFLES HOTEL! It's like woohoo there. The managers are so much friendly and some allowed us to eat the leftovers for the buffet, good right? The whole place is also air-conditioned (because it's in Raffles City) whereas Raffles Hotel isn't air-conditioned along the corridor, plus there are frequent weird stench along the corridors and pantry in Raffles Hotel. The ballroom in Raffles City could contain more than 50 tables while the Raffles Ballroom could only contain like 20 plus tables, lousy. The oval and rounds trays in Swissotel are odourless and much much cleaner as compared to Raffles Hotel's dirty and smelly (with occasional spider webs spotted) trays. Damn yucks la Raffles.
I had lots of fun working at Swissotel and I don't feel like working at Raffles anymore LOL. Zijue also worked today and she's damn funny while eating the wanton. A group of us were talking in a small room and Zijue wanted to try the fried wanton. So she took a wanton by the crispy area and took a small bite. One 'manager' (actually it was just some random staff) suddenly came into the room and she quickly put down the wanton, attempting to hide it behind her back. But the great force broke the crispy part and the meaty area just flew and dropped to the ground. The scene was damn funny! Nixon and I couldn't stop laughing at her dumbness. I didn't know that she's afraid of the managers considering that she's also a staff in TCC. Oh, the staff there were very friendly. A guy called Wuyue even brought Nixon and I to see where to slack and sleep, sleep as in lying down on the chair covers or table cloths on the trolleys LOL. We also met a Nanhua girl called Lili. She's quite friendly too. I didn't expect her to make the first move to talk to us. She isn't under TCC so her pay is $6/hr, not very much actually because our pay is $5.50/hr, not much of a difference considering we still have CPF and extra deduction of money because of TCC.
Today's job was quite slack. I did clearing of dishes, door boy, wiping goblets and some others. The most sian work to do was to be a door boy. I couldn't do anything! I could only stand in front of the doors for at least 30min, nothing much. The best part of the day was to be able to gobble down as much wanton as possible LOL. Nixon and I still damn auntie and went to secretly dabao some home. He took many more than I did! And we took pictures of our nice uniforms :D
And my fabulous nametag with my own name on it! You might think 'Of course your name is on your own nametag la-.-' But Raffles don't give its staff nametags with their real names. Sometimes guys could even get girls names, so I was really happy to receive a nametag with my own name on it from Swissotel (:
That picture was unexpectedly clear because I didn't take it with my eyes looking at the handphone screen. Sian I have to go work at Raffles tomorrow. I will miss Swissotel loads man, especially their delicious fried wanton LOL. Okay that's about today. I think I shall upload the pictures taken during Ben10 BBQ some other day because I will be working everyday till the following Monday. Nights!
