Lunch was pretty alright.. Saw Joan, Jianli and Camille.. Walked along Orchard Road with Asha to kill off the long lunch break.. Came back to see the Director of Front Office moving into his office.. Quite an unfriendly guy.. Nv even smile.. Haha.. I'm glad to know we now have coffee and tea amenities available in our pantry.. Haha..
Learnt to do EA (Expected Arrival) today.. Pretty easy just that doing that everyday will make a person go blind nonetheless.. Haha.. Knocked off at 5 and walked to Wisma to send the charger to SE for repair.. However, the shop was under renovation until 2 Oct.. What luck.. Stopped over at GAP to find Lynn.. She said I looked very Gu Niang.. Hehe.. You wanna know what I was wearing? Ask her.. Haha..

Working on Sunday is boring..
The feeling of working on a Sunday sucks.. Esp when you know there's only be less than 5 ppl in the whole department and no S&M ppl to talk too when you get too bored.. Haha.. Heading to Wisma to repair my charger after work.. Maybe I'll get to see Lynn.. Anybody wanna tag along? Haha.. I'm awfully bored now.. Miss my steamboat soup.. I think it misses me too.. The Click Five rock.. Snoopy smells..
Good Night Moo- Putts~!

OPERA is not Easy..
Pretty shocked by the MM pay.. Haha.. But not disappointed.. Saw Sylvia on the way to work and accidentedly told her there were only 2 TP interns thinking that she was asking about Reservations.. Haha.. But I think she's met either Jian Li or Wei Lun cos one of them told her we had 14.. Haha.. And I left my bands in the toilet cubicle and it's gone now.. Have to go Montip to get new ones.. The aircon at work was freezing today that I had to bring in my own sweater.. Sent like a billion faxes today with the Vietnam one that kept getting stuck in the machine..
Did a serious Boo Boo today.. Guest booked Grand Tower Premier Room and I gave them Grand Tower PRESIDENTIAL SUITE.. Oops! Lucky Haz was around to spot that out if not I'll be in deep shit.. Haha.. Long bookings scare the hell out of me.. Examples:
1) Book 60 days in advance to receive an Early Bird Free upgrde from South Tower Deluxe to Grand Tower Deluxe..
2) Stay on Fri, Sat and Sun mornings to receive free breakfast on Sat, Sun and Mon mornings..
3) Stay 4 nights, pay 3 nights.. Stay 8 nights, pay 6 nights..
4) Honeymooners get King Size bed, Flowers, Wine and Chocolates..
Not to mention we have the different breakfast packages to rmb, routing to do, Collect Voucher Alerts, Name of Sharer, Commisionable Rates, Rates of the rooms, Types of bookings etc.. So ppl, dun ever think that behind the scenes is ever an easy job k? We don't jus answer phones and key bookings or slack around the whole day k? It takes alot of brainpower and patience to know how to key all those stuff k? The OPERA learnt back in sch is Chicken Feet compared to the real LIVE version that we experienced..
So bored at home.. Going back to Tampines for a short while tml to get some stuff.. Working Sun morning, 9am to 5pm.. OFF tml.. Bored Bored Bored.. *Yawn*
Good Night Moo- Putts~!

Poor Poor Poor..
The side office got cleaned up today.. Think some new manager's going to move in.. Found an eyecandy at work.. Haha.. Only Sandy, Yilong and Brenda know who he is.. Haha.. Let me stress, it's just EYECANDY.. My stockings tore at work.. Dang.. But Sandy had an extra.. Thanks! Helped Carey fold the booking forms today.. Many failed cos they were either too small or too kiam chai.. Oops!
9- 5 tml.. Nth to do after that.. Not heading back to Tampines this week.. Off on Sat.. Boring.. Anyone wanna go out? Haha..
Good Night Moo- Putts~!

Bad Day @ Work~!
Canteen food didn't make my day either.. Out to Burger King in Cine for lunch then.. Smuggled some Oreo Wafer Sticks back.. Boring day at work.. It didn't help either that Asha had lots of billing to do and couldn't allow me to do any keying in.. Sianz.. Bad day bad day.. Home Home Home.. Bumped into Rebecca again on my way out.. Looked like she was rushing.. Prob some night classes.. Saw Jayne too.. Didn't go K with JW and WT they all cos already reached home and was in a moodless mood.. At least dinner was good..
Snoopy going to sleep on my bed again.. Going to go stop here.. Good Night Moo- Putts~!

Sadly Never Before..
Billing in the morn.. No time to file.. Had to search for booking forms from all over Sept.. Moved on to shifting the drawers becos Oct was exploding.. Did some amendments.. Lunch at 1pm.. The canteen auntie was funny.. Mooncakes for desserts.. "These mooncakes from CATERER not hotel ah".. Haha.. Forgot what I did after lunch.. "Raffles" birthday today.. Quite crappy I thot the whole celebration.. Our Reservations bought cake, Old Chang Kee and Branded Tie for him and planned a surprise but he had to ruin it himself.. Boooo..
Did prepayment filing halfway then got called to keyed bookings.. Did 3 out of 10 and got called to help photocopying.. Couldn't even get to the photocopying and had to do searching again.. Wah.. Walk here walk there.. Type this type that.. Peace came when the clock striked 6pm.. Saw WL and Serene on the way back to locker.. Met Sandy and went for dinner at Subway.. "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" after that at Cine.. Boring and draggy show.. Seriously not recommended..
Snoopy was sleeping on my bed when I came home.. Now my bed is full of her hair.. Eeew.. Bad dog! "Have No Fear, Underdog is Here!"
(There is no Happily Ever After because it was Sadly Never Before..)

Jian Kang Bao Bao~!
Reached work like super duper early today.. Was supposed to find Asha to learn Billing but she wasn't around so headed to the corner for filing.. Told Gina about having to return back to school on 6th Oct.. Thot she would want us to use our A/L but she didn't.. 1pm lunch.. Saw Cherie who eating with some Housekeeping supervisors.. Haha..
Back to the office.. Carey needed help for faxing so I volunteered.. Rebecca came today with a Caucasian girl.. Think she was showing her around.. Managed to say Hi.. Billing is seriously hard.. I had no idea how to go about it.. Just sat there like a dummy seeing Asha type stuff.. Decided to go do some photocopy again.. Sandy and I were using Opera as MSN.. Haha..
The aircon makes the office feel like Alaska.. Adjust here adjust there.. Gave up on it and just shivered at my desk.. Went to the toilet almost 3 times in 2 hours.. Was so afraid of being scolded.. Haha.. BTW, think Reservations is moving up to the 6th storey beside the GM cos heard Stanton asking Gina about the number of seats she required.. Oh well..
Saw TTM on the way home.. 20 more mins to Metamorphosis.. Sent an email to Mr. Zainal asking about the project.. Still have that E-Journal to complete.. Those in MM, maybe this email reply would be able to help..
Dear Yan Wan
Thank you for dropping me this email pertinent to the SIP project. How are you? Are you enjoying your SIP? Hope you are coping well and getting to know more new friends (colleagues per se).
On the project matters, I have brief Ms Rebecca Hoon on the needs to assign project(s) to interns for their individual learning. I believed Ms Hoon will be getting the respective departments to assign project(s) or task(s) to you either individually or as a group. The project that you have undertaken can then later be included in your portfolio. The project that you have done will then reflect to me on your contribution to Meritus. Any significant or merit contribution must be included in your portfolio to beef up the credential of your attachment. Hope my explanation clears your doubt, please feel free to drop me more mails should you need further assistance or clarification.
Take good care of yourself (don’t forget the 1st journal due end of this month) and will see you on the 6 Oct 07.
Yours sincerely,
Zainal Abiddin
Going to watch Chuck and Larry tml after work with Sandy.. That girl is going to wait 1.5 hrs for me.. Haha..

Friendster Day~!
Slacky day again.. Haha.. And do you know when you get assigned a desk and a User ID, you'll feel much more at home? That's what I got today.. =D Decided to lunch with Sandy @ Cineleisure since the canteen food was so non-appetizing and we were dressed like Humans.. =p Pasta Mania then and "people- watched" a family of Ang Mohs eating.. Haha..
Back to work but only that minimal keying in to do.. Jackie dug out 2006's payment forms and we were told to shred them and feed them to the big WHITE bag.. Unlike GV's, our trash bags here are White.. Haha.. However, for an office that is merged with Sales & Marketing and both dpt uses paper like there's no tomorrow, there isn't a paper shreder at all.. -.-'.. So we had to do it manually.. Rai cut her papers with a scissors cos she didn't want to harm the trees.. Asha and I tore them mercilessly.. Brenda was tearing them into incy wincy little pieces.. I have prove.. Haha.. I think it's Ming Fa's birthday today.. Happy Birthday.. =D
Brenda's..
Asha's & Mine..
Our combined efforts..
GV Minding the Cafe~!
Sorry.Too early in the morn.=p
File File File.. (Why did you have to take this pic, Sandy?) =p
Took some pics of the office today but don't think I can post them up.. Some rule of MM.. Haha.. I finally found something I've been searching for all these days.. At the same spot where I left it.. Gosh.. Haha..
Good Night Moo-Putts~!

Thank You Rebecca!
Dear Yan Wan and Sandy,
I have spoken to Ms Kwa regarding your request.
Please give yourselves a month or so, to learn the different job scopes at Reservations Dept. I'm not sure if 2 months is enough for you to learn everything at Reservations Dept because there seems to be quite alot to learn there.
After a month, let me know during the trainee meeting / drop me another email if you still feel that you want to switch dept.
We understand your concerns and please be assured that we would like you to have a fruitful internship with us as well.
Thank You.
Regards,
Rebecca Hoon
Training Executive
Meritus Mandarin Singapore
If you have no idea what is happening up there, don't have to worry.. Haha.. Will explain to you all if I get the chance.. The colleagues at Reservations are just wondeful.. =D Got to know one of the Sales & Marketing ppl today.. Dunno her name but always see her in the toilet.. Haha.. "Raffles" is seriously irritating.. =p
The new Rui En show is addictive.. Somebody, please cure me of my addiction.. Haha.. I just wonder why she hardly gets to sing the themesongs.. Instead they let Darren Tan sing it.. Sheesh.. Something is wrong..
(I wish the Mushroom Soup would also have mushrooms in it)

The dogs are toys!
Wanted to give Rebecca my I/C but forgot to photocopy.. Oh well.. Back to the office.. But there were no reservations slips to be keyed in..Haha.. Such a miracle.. Even Asha said so.. And I came up with a new name for Brenda & Sandy; Brandy.. =p And it was time for the weekly routine of clearing out the filing drawer.. As usual, Sandy and I had to do it but the office boy, Yilong came to help us.. Haha.. So the 3 of us sat at the long long table and took our own sweet time sorting them out..
Some photocopying and keying in.. Learnt how to answer telephone reservations today.. Then helped Gina changed all the rates for some travel agents to new ones.. I'm learning alot.. Haha.. 8pm! Knock off! Waited for Rai to leave too.. Didn't know she worked for MM for 8 years liaoz.. Hungry.. Stopped over at 7-11 to get a donut and a bottle of Mango Juice.. Home to watch the last epi for the Joanne Peh show.. I'm so gonna catch that new Rui En drama! It looks cool.. Haha..
Heard some noises outside my house just now and MSN my mum about it.. She told me to just ignore them.. But I told her I have the 2 dogs, Ah Foo & Snoopy to protect me.. Guess what she replied me? "Those 2 dogs are just toys.." Haha.. They are not toys lah.. They are just 2 very tamed dogs that don't bark at strangers much let bite them.. Haha..
Anyway, 11am to 7pm tml.. Brain Dead.. Good Night Moo- Putts!
(I hope the Asparagus Soup taste like Asparagus Soup for once)

No Reservations~!
To the shops with my father to buy a small table for my room in Aljunied.. But the shops were closed.. Too bad.. Fetched my mum home after that.. Wanted to catch the 145pm No Reservations at GVTM but it was too late so did some clearing up at home.. Decided that it was quite boring went to watch the 410pm No Reservations.. Haha.. Very good movie.. Just that I kept wondering why there is a lobster on the grill in every single kitchen scene.. And also the young girl looks more suited to act in horror movies.. You know the "Dakota Fanning" type of girl? Yeah.. Haha.. The song you're listening in my blog right now is from the scene when Catherine-Z Jones and Aaron Eckhart got tgt and they brought that girl out and took pics in the photobooth..
Murders.Cards.Mahjong.Ultraman.Fun.
Someone's really on the phone.. Guess who? =p
The fountains just won't cooperate hence the many shots..

Muslim Food~!
Usual filing again.. But we did it very slowly this time cos there was very little to do on a Saturday.. Brenda (Sandy's trainer) & Asha (My trainer) were also so slack.. Haha.. Came up with nicknames for all the staff there.. Almost fell asleep watching Asha key in the reservations but I think she realised it too and started talking to me.. Haha.. Left for lunch tgt with her, Sandy and Suzie.. Haha.. And the four of us talked alot.. Really alot.. I think Suzie's a cool mum.. Haha..
Ironic Incident.. Our staff canteen is split btw Non- Muslim & Muslim.. Now being the Ramadan month, there is a signage stating that the Muslim side is strictly for Muslim ppl oni (Normally, everybody could take the food).. But since it was the Ramadan month and the Muslim are not supposed to eat during lunch, why do they even bother cooking? And they have trays and trays of food too.. *Not trying to offend anybody just that I think that if food is not being eaten, why bother cooking and wasting them right?
Back to the office for more keying in.. Was so bored since Asha didnt have work for me to do.. We had a good laugh over the ages of some guests checking in.. Haha.. So went to help Suzie photocopy some stuff and did more filing.. Then Ming Fa needed some guests's reservation form and we had to dig it out from piles of paper starting from 12 August - 17 August 2007.. Not easy but at least it's challenging.. Haha.. Eliana came up with an English name for me.. She said since Sandy is called Sandy.. I would be called Beach.. You get it? Sandy Beach.. Haha..
Back to my Tampines House after 1 week.. Happy.. Haha.. Went swimming with my parents and 2 sisters at CBC.. Swam 20 laps.. =D Ate a small pizza with a Choc milkshake.. So sleepy now.. Talked to WL and Sarah on MSN just now.. The part about the locker room was quite funny to me.. Haha.. And Ah Ma, chicken essence nice hor? Haha.. Drink more ah..
Good Night Moo-Putts~!

Rebecca's email~!
Got ready for work abit too fast and was left with about 30 mins.. Decided to pop over to Rebecca's office with Cherie and Sandy to check on the status of our application for a rotation of departments.. Was half expecting her not to receive my email since her email add was just a copy of Pearl Lim's.. Pretty hard to explain though.. However, she could actually rmb me sending her an email.. Cool.. But she's forwarded it to some Ms. Kwa who would be the one to decide.. Hopefully it goes thru..
Started the usual filing again.. The office is colder nowadays.. Left for a very hearty lunch and decided to take an after lunch walk around the hotel lobby.. Back to work.. Keyed in a few more other reservations today.. Sandy disappeared for almost 2 hours and I realised afterwards that she was helping Suzie to search for some customer's file.. I then disappeared for another 3 hours to help Ming Fa draw lines on his book.. I had to draw all the way to 2010.. Learnt how to key in internet reservations..
Met my father after work at Heeren and we walked to Centrepoint for dinner.. Cherie and Sandy came along too.. Settled for some noodleshop.. Then my father left for some place and the 3 of us decided to walk to Cineleisure as I was craving for Subway's cookies.. =p We bought 12.. It was kinda sad to see ppl having Friday nightlife while we had work tml.. Sianz.. I seriously need to find another part time job in the hotel to kill off the boring night life.. Banqueting sounds good.. Haha..
Work Schedule for Next Week:
Monday- 12pm to 8pm
Tueday- 11am to 7pm
Wednesday- 11pm to 7pm
Thursday- 830am to 430pm

SIP's Boring~!
Tuesday- 1st Day at Reservations.. 10am shift but reached at 845am.. The good thing about the lockers in Meritus is that uniforms can be hung in them meaning no ironing needed.. =D And if you ever have to wash your uniform, the laundry department will do that for you.. Double =D.. Put on tons on makeup and gel thinking the HOD would be strict.. And also ensuring that not a single strand of hair was out of place..
Started off with reading some training manuals.. I think I'll need 10 Days to devour all that info.. The HOD advised us to transfer into Front Office after 2 months.. Hmm.. Maybe I'll talk to Rebecca about it.. Worth considering.. I don't even mind F&B.. Haha.. Lunch after that in the "Prison Plate" place.. Haha.. Saw Cherie and Shimin.. 1 hr lunch break rocks becos it means I can eat slowly and slack.. But we're also not allowed to go out during this period..
Back to Reservations.. Was made to do some filing which took 4 hours.. Got attached to a senior staff, Asha who received the most obnoxious phone calls ever.. Haha.. Learnt abit of the system.. Off work at 6pm.. Home for dinner after that.. Mum came over with SJ to get some stuff.. Walked Ah Foo downstairs at the park..
Wednesday- Filing in the morning again.. Took 2 hours this time.. =D Sat beside Asha for a while before going to lunch.. Saw Cherie again.. Happy Belated! Slacked and slacked.. Sandy does not dare to eat the Prison Plate Lunch.. Hmm.. Wonder why.. Back to reservations and this time got to do some keying in of the reservations.. So many travel agents, so many rooms, so many forms! Do you guys know that MM can be sued for seriously contributing to Global Warming? My God! The amount of paper they used is extraordinary.. And they dump paper like nobody's business.. Xin Tia.. And did I ever mention the amount of highlighter they used too? Goodness..
Home for dinner after that.. Went to Harbourfront to meet Yanqi, Jie Ping and Junwei.. Crapped and laughed esp at the Friendster part.. Haha.. Home after that.. Watched abit of TV and crashed..
Thursday- Filing once again.. Made friends with the HOD's office boy who is also of the same age.. Wonder why he wanted to take up an office job as part time.. Hmm.. Nvm.. Lunch after that with the colleagues from Reservations.. Got to know them a little better.. Major keying in of Reservations after Lunch.. Learnt more this time.. Did abit of photocopying for them too.. Not a bad day.. Haha..
Okie.. Just for everybody's info.. MM's Reservations Department opens from 830am to 8pm.. So that means I'll be doing office hours.. Hmm.. Hoping to be able to find a part time F&B job in any of MM's restaurants to kill off the evenings and earn some extra bucks.. Banqueting could be fun.. Off on Sunday which is quite ok.. But its the end of the week.. =( Internet coming tml which means I don't have to travel all the way to Paya Lebar to use the wireless.. =D
Good Night Moo- Putts!

MM Orientation~!
Almost sleepless night ytd from all that tossing and turning on a new bed.. And the MRT was so noisy.. Gosh.. My great-grandma bought Chee Cheong Fun for my breakfast and my grandma walked me to the MRT.. Hehe.. Met Cherie, Weilun and Sandy at Somerset MRT and headed to Meritus in that pouring rain.. Stood outside the staff entrance and waited for the other MM ppl to arrive.. Some were in semi-formal and others were in casual..
Down to the training room for briefing.. Was made to fill up lots and lots of forms.. Had my name spelled wrong on my itinerary.. There was a free flow of biscuits and hot beverages.. Had a presentation on the hotel, got our locker numbers and nametags and then proceeded to the Uniform Department to get our uniforms.. I thot that the Meritus Club's Butler's Uniform is really cool- Blouse, Skirt, Vest, Tie and Blazer.. Mine was a pink blazer and skirt..
Our Nametags~!
My Uniform~! So Cheena right? =p
A sample of our lockers; Cherie's
Lunch Time- 1 Staff Meal per day.. I think the quantity is not bad.. Unlimited Rice, Drinks, Soup, Beverages and Salads.. Haha.. Quite nice too.. Back to the room for more waiting and waiting.. Headed to the locker room to put our uniforms in first.. I'm going to die fiddling the lock.. Haha.. Then it was the tour of the hotel.. I think MM has great rooms and F&B outlets but the back of house and swimming pool sux.. Haha.. The lobby and banquet rooms are good too.. Went to Top of the M to see the view.. And realised that we have 30% discount at all F&B outlets in MM.. =D But we had to take the lift from B1 to 35 Storey to 5 Storey to 37 Storey to 1 Storey.. My God.. My head is spinning now.. Haha..
Good Night Moo- Putts!

Hello Meritus!
Went out with my Dad today to sign up for an internet account.. Finally found my OP cloth slippers.. Can't stand the Havannas type of material.. They cause blisters.. Okie.. Going to move in to my Aljunied house after HSM 2.. No internet until Friday.. But mayb I'll be desperate enuff to travel to SingPost to use the wireless there.. =D
Meritus starts tml.. I'm pretty nervous and excited.. It's going to be a long 5 months but I'm planning to make the most of it.. Trainees don't get treated nice but I guess it's all part and parcel of growing up isn't it? Haha.. Ok.. So Goodbye "Student Life", Hello "Cheap Labour"!
Good Night Moo- Putts!
Saturday, September 8, 2007
To YQ~!
Went to St 21 to get my court shoes cos I didn't want my feet to decompose at work.. My mum told me to get leather but I told her my feet would decompose even faster.. Haha.. Then it was to Eastpoint for more shopping.. Had Mr. Bean ice cream before that.. Couldn't finish it though.. Haha..
Home for more Drama watching then it was for abit of nap.. Finished a book that I've been reading for weeks.. Then it was to meet Edwin, Willy & Xinyi for dinner at Bugis Steamboat again since Willy's heading into NS and it was sort of a farewell dinner for him.. Ate lots of prawns.. They wanted dessert at that shop but it was full so we headed to TCC instead.. Ordered a Mango Yogurt Drink since the whole world knows I don't drink coffee.. =D Chatted about some stuff that I've forgotten then it was Balik Kampung for us..
To YQ: I know it's going to be a hard and tiresome journey for you but you gotta press on.. It's not going to be easy leaving a place that you once had feelings for.. Yes, I may not be there now but believe me, you can still find me and chat whenever you need it.. People are going to be upset about you leaving but I'm sure that you know how to make the correct decision.. You don't have to care about those ppl that you find irritating or disturbing.. Be strong.. =D
Good Night Moo- Putts!

Sentosa Chalet + 307 Dinner~!
Wednesday- Headed to HbFront to buy Cherie's cake from Swissbake.. All of them looked good, but I settled for Double Brownie Cheesecake.. Bought lunch for Xiaomei & Alverina.. Met the Orangs at the MRT station and we went Giant to shop for snacks, cup noodles and drinks.. To Sentosa after that to check in for the chalet.. Saw Uncle Simon again.. Haha.. It was a brilliantly sunny day.. Saw a couple of the Luge ppl outside Coffeebean; Dinz still rmb me.. Muahaha..
The chalet entrance is so inaccessible.. The front entrance is pratically a 15 mins walk from Underwater World thru a forest and the back entrance from the beach needs a card to be accessed and we have to climb 2 storeys to reach it.. Furthermore, the receptionist is rude.. I don't like ppl pointing at me and telling me, "Now I let you do this but next time cannot already".. I'm not your student ok?
The room on the 3rd level and it was tiny.. Imagine 11 ppl squeezing into a tiny room but it was cosy.. Haha.. Settled down, watched abit of TV and we split into 2 groups- Tanning Gang & Cycling Gang.. I of cos joined the Cycling Gang since I don't like tanning without water.. So to Koufu with Xianglin, Shaun, Sandy and Huiying for late lunch.. The Koufu ppl still gave me a discount even though my TAS card expire liaoz.. Haha..
Bought 2 Super Big Gulps for the Tanning Gang and my NETS card failed.. Scared the hell out of me thinking somebody must have robbed me of all my money in the bank and that I don't even have $6.. Rented our bikes and cycled along the beach.. We ignored the "No through road. Please do not enter" sign at Underwater World and continued cycling and almost crashed into the dead end.. Haha..
Back to meet the Tanning Gang for some Frisbee game and the pair that threw and caught the frisbee successfully were exempted from the forfeit.. Haha.. Huiying and Xuemin were the only pair that couldn't.. Haha.. Headed back to the room to shower and to get ready to leave to meet 307 at Vivo.. Everybody was going to be late so I just nua-ed in the chalet and watched some TV.. Waited for Sarah to finish work and we played a childish game hiding from the others.. Haha..
Nobody wanted to decide where to eat so we ended up outside Secret Recipe and while waiting for the waitress to prepare our table for us, I told them the reason why Secret Recipe is called Secret Recipe and everybody wanted to leave asap.. Haha.. Ayuni was feeling so guilty.. Finally decided on White Dog Cafe.. Pleasant and quiet environment.. We were afraid we would ruin the atmosphere in the restaurant and be thrown out.. Haha..
Shared a main course with Sarah since neither of us were really hungry.. Took some pics and finally caught up.. It was wondeful finally meeting all of them again.. We could still crap and talk like during school days.. They are definitely the reason why Year 3 had been so fun.. Haha.. Got teased again.. Couldn't believe they still could rmb about that MSN conversation eons ago.. Haha.. But the night's conversation were quite.. hmm.. R21? Haha..
To the rooftop on the pretext of taking pics but it was actually to give Cherie a birthday surprise.. Haha.. So, Sarah and Beilin went with her to Daiso while I headed back to GV to get the cake from the fridge.. Saw Ms Goh who wanted to kill me with the knife.. Haha.. Borrowed a lighter from Rashidah who thot I was smoking.. Err.. Back to the rooftop to set up the cake with Weilun and Ayuni.. Then just waited for the birthday girl to come out.. Sang her a birthday song and took pics.. Haha..
They went home and I went to catch the Express back only to realise that the card is one time entry only so another $3 gone.. Diaoz.. The bus driver driving the minibus around the beach offered to send me back to Costa Sands even though it was out of his route.. I'm so lucky.. Haha.. Some of them were playing mahjong on the ground while others just watched TV.. Played one round of mahjong and they wanted to go for nightwalk.. And we took lots of crazy pics which I find quite artistic esp the emo one.. Will post them up when I get them from Sandy.. Walked from our resort to TAS and back again.. The Merlion looks scary at night without lights..
Back to the room for another shower.. It was my 4th time that day.. And we all had cup noodles after that.. =D Decided to find myself a corner near the wadrobe and sleep since the 2 beds could nv hold 11 of us.. Haha.. Some of them were playing games again but I seriously could not keep up with their unlimited bounds of energy so it was good night and off to La La Land.. Haha.. Got woken up halfway as they wanted my poker cards and UNO.. Xianglin wanted to paint my nails while I was asleep.. Lucky I woke up in time.. Haha..
Left the chalet around 8+ and had to walk out the long way.. Everybody was sleepwalking the whole way then a very friendly van driver offered to drive us out to Vivo.. Lifesaver! Aren't we lucky? Haha.. The rest of them went to Mac for breakfast while Sandy and I left first since she had work and I needed to go home to move my stuff to my Great- Grandma's house.. The MRT back for empty so I could sleep all the way back.. =D
Asked my Grandma to wake me up at 12 but instead I woke up at 230.. Started packing my stuff.. Think I still had lots of stuff back at home but I could still bring them on Sunday.. So off to my new house for 5 months.. A brief intro of the place.. It's in Aljunied.. There's oni my Great Grandma and her maid there.. There are 2 dogs.. Lastly, there's no internet.. =( But I'm planning to psycho my Grand uncle to set one up.. Haha.. But there's a mahjong table so I can now have mahjong sessions.. The SCV's quite limited too but not like I have the time to watch it anyway.. Haha..
To Suntec for dinner with my family.. Wanted Country Manna but it was no longer there so we went to some hotpot restaurant instead that allows us to have 3 types of soup at one go.. =D Only the Mala was nice though.. Still prefer Chong Qin.. Haha.. I think I'm going to have that on Saturday again.. I love soup! Then we headed to Andersen's for dessert.. But I still like Ben's & Jerry's.. Strawberry Cheesecake! =D
Chilli Crab Session on 31.8.07..
Okie.. I think I've done enuff talking.. Long entry liaoz.. Haha.. Tml's going to be a Finish- Everything-Before-Entering Day.. Maybe I'll go watch No Reservations.. Anybody wanna tag along? Haha.. Anyway, I wrote a story.. It was supposed to be the 'entry pass' into the chalet.. You can d/l it from here- http://www.savefile.com/files/1034969
Good Night Moo- Putts!

不要爱上我
Just rmb that I cleared my locker on Sunday after work.. It's a sad feeling.. Tml will be the day.. I'll be sad.. Most prob will be after I close my Box counter for the last time.. I'm going to type up an entry tml dedicated to GV..
Have to finish up that compo that we each have to prepare for the chalet.. It's called "不要爱上我".. Haha.. Maybe I'll post it up when I'm done.. It's difficult to type in Chinese.. Haha..
Good Night Moo- Putts~!

Bye Bye CB!
Tried to set up CB but no keys so there was minimal that I could do.. Tables and chairs needed to be set up by 9am.. No floor staff so Yan Wan went around with some guy from Box carrying tables and chairs from GV Max down the escalator to opposite CB then the organisor had a change of plans and wanted us to set up outside GV Max instead so me and that Box guy gave each other that "Urgh!" look and carried the tables and chairs up again.. The organisor's reason: I scared my 100 people will flood your foyer.. ZzZzZ..
Other than that, it was pretty ok today.. Had a trainee but didn't really bother much about him since he pretty much could do everything liaoz.. Rashidah told me he sold a customer a $3 popcorn.. Haha.. Went to relieve the Box staff while they went for lunch.. The membership pop up box is irritating.. And 2 groups of patrons argued in front of my counter blaming each other for cutting q.. I just stood there and let them sort it out themselves.. Haha..
Ratouille back at TM.. Practically rushed back from Vivo.. The movie is cute~! And the food is so life like.. The kitchen hierachy related so much to the fine dining kitchen that we learnt about in school.. My sister said that the guy had a funny name- Alfredo Linguini.. It's a pasta name actually.. Haha.. Blue rats are cute.. =D Maybe one day, I'll wake up and see Kimtaro and Kotaro cooking breakfast for me.. Haha..
Again, it's my last day at CB and definitely I'm pretty sad.. It's actually the station where I work at most often.. A number of things that I would definitely miss:-
1) The wars that we fight during sessions times with the queues line all the way to the doors.
2) The constant shortage of hotdogs, cheese and popcorn.
3) The sweet popper throwing tandrums and spitting out popcorn into our eyes.
4) The messy messy CB.
5) The never ending cleaning during closing.
6) Packing nachos and cheesy hotdogs and not forgetting, popcorn.
7) And many more (I'll feel them in when I rmb them)
Bye Bye my beloved Candybar! =( =( =( =( =( =( =(
Bye Bye Moo- Putts~!
