Cases..

Billy Bombers on Saturday with Sandy.. It's been 10 million years since we actually sat down and talked nonstop.. Haha.. Project settled hopefully.. Due date set on 6 Jan but I think I'll prob be too lazy to complete it.. Headed to work after that.. Nobody believed that it was my 1st B shift after 1 month in FO.. Haha.. Even my trainer.. I think I got the A shift and 1st break face.. B shift was ok lah.. Not so many C/O and can hear music as we work too..

Sunday work.. Learnt to handle guest complaint today.. A mother was sick and complained that we were not understanding when she wanted an extra room FOC for her BB.. So, DM Jenny pre-ordered a platter of fruits from Room Service to be sent to their room.. Peacemaker Chosen: Me.. I didn't know where Room Service was and how to talk to the guests, so she tagged along.. Haha.. I thot the platter was just 3 apples but it consisted of Bananas, Mangoes, Apples, Grapes and Prunes.. Headed to the room.. Knock Knock! Special Delivery! "We apologise for the incovenience caused.. Pls accept this platter as a our way of saying Get Well Soon!"

Next case.. Lost girl.. 7 Years Old; Indonesian.. Wika helped us translate.. The girl was staying in Marriot Hotel and her parents must have been shopping and forgotten about her.. So call here call there and her Apa came to fetch her.. So touching to see them reunite! Her Ibu was still shopping at Braun Buffel.. Diaoz.. Haha.. All special cases in 1 day.. Cool..

Back 2 Back shift.. Shag.. Tons of C/I but no rooms.. Jialat.. What to do? Overbook overbook.. End of shift.. Everybody was like, "See you next year! Bye Bye!" Teatime @ Swensens with Lay Gin, Sulin, Nellie and Joselyn after work.. Didn't go back to MM for the New Year party.. Too late but heard got lots of food to eat and a party at Security too.. Counting down by ZzZzZzZ later..

Happy New Year everyone! Hope your wishes come true! Where Dreams Begin!

Canadia- Korea

Can anybody recommend some really good games for a PSP? RPG games would be the best though.. I just love them.. Currently hooked on Brave Story: New Traveler.. Haha..

I checked in an Ang Moh couple today.. They were Canadians as seen on their passports.. However, guess where they live? Give you 10 chances also cannot guess de.. Haha.. Their country of residence is ..... KOREA! So cool right? At first I thot I saw wrongly when I saw them writing their address during registration.. Muahaha..

Trainee meeting today.. Nth much.. Rebecca's leaving on 31 Dec and some supervisor from Housekeeping would be taking over.. Guess it wouldn't be as fun liaoz.. We went to see the swimming pool and tennis courts after that.. Boo.. It was like yellowy stained and terribly old.. Some ppl still request for pool view.. Muahaha..

And after today, I can confirm that Meritus Mandarin is the most popular Mandarin Hotel in Singapore.. Why? Becos I've been in FO for only 4 weeks and already I have 2 cases whereby the taxi drivers sent the guests to the wrong hotel.. One of them wanted Marina Mandarin and just today, another wanted Mandarin Oriental.. Diaoz.. For the first case, we managed to find the taxi driver and get him to return back to send the guest to the correct hotel.. However, the 2nd one was not as lucky as we couldn't locate the driver cos he only rmb it as a red cab..

Merry Xmas!

Hohoho! Merry Xmas!

Christmas party on Dec 23 was a bomb! Lotsa food to eat with lotsa friends.. And turkey carving and cherry tomatoes! Coke with Heineken was a great laugh and we watched a Doraemon movie too.. I want a pet dino too.. Ate like meat and chocs and chips and cake and soup and dunno what else which was good good good.. Exchange presents too and I got a moo-ing cow bank.. Mooooooo.. Then it was Birthday Cake cutting time.. It's good to be born on Christmas Day.. We wore matching hats with our names too.. Roulette drinking session while PSP-ing.. I think it brought us luck cos we had the lowest number of drink penalties among the group.. Haha.. I got seh-seh soon and it was time to go home.. Clock read 330am at home.. 12pm shift on Christmas Eve.. Lucky me.. =D

So it was singing time and dancing time at work.. Lots of Merry Christmas was exchanged and I think our staff can go cut their own CD too.. Buffet next and christmas gift exchange too.. Orchard Road was like packed with people like from a scene from I Am Legend.. The MRT was quiet though.. OFF on Christmas but back to work tml.. Just 5 more weeks till Ta Ta Ta!

And I got myself a PSP slim.. It's the Lavendar Purple one but I dunno how to use it.. Haha.. Sweet..


Midnight. Bored. No guests. Fun.

Forgot Breakfast..

I slept with one jacket and two blankets last night.. Becos I refused to eat any medicine.. =p Anyway, I'm thinking of buying a PSP slim.. Maybe the purple one.. Dunno lah.. My father asked me to try my luck on Ebay.. But I know nuts about all the functions and games and modification.. Haha..

Anyway, I spent 1 hr going thru 1051 rooms of Reg Cards.. Why? Becos I forgot to add in breakfast for one of the rooms.. And I think I'll be scolded real badly if I didn't find it.. Haha.. Dumb was me when Lynn & Cindy said I could do a User Activity Log to see what my past activities.. Muahaha.. Lesson learnt..

Going christmas shopping later.. And Buffet Dinner @ Shangri-la.. Changed shift to morn tml.. Meaning I can go for the Christmas Party! Yay! Lots of shows to watch now.. Bye Bye~!

Nuffnang Ad!

Whoopee! Motorola has decided to place an ad on my blog from 16- 22 Dec.. Going to be earning some moolah.. =D

Anyway, it's work talk again.. Some guest borrowed 4 kettles from Housekeeping and spoilt 2 of them.. He used 1 to cook rice and 1 to cook curry.. Diaoz.. And the hotel is charging him $300 for the spoilage.. Muahaha..

Midnight is getting ok nowadays even though it becomes boring around 3- 4 am.. Mary's going back to Vietnam for a short holiday so she brought her camera to work that day.. So she, me, Emilyn, Lay Gin & Evelyn sneaked out to the lobby area when there were no guests and took pics with the Christmas Tree and Mezebar.. Haha.. Our DM, Rita came out from office looking for us and she was acting pissed but after that she said, "Why take pics nv call me?" Wahaha.. So fun.. Will be posting them up once she's emailed me with them..

One Japanese guest came up to change exchange some money using Traveller's Cheque so Emilyn was teaching me how to go about doing it and the guest was like, "Trainee?" Haha.. He laughed as well.. Then before he left he turned around and told me, "Kambate!" Awww.. So sweet.. And there were a bunch of Sumo wrestlers that day too.. Their hair is even neater than mine.. And a Hong Kong tour guide was checking in for his guests and I was using my horribly Ma-Ma-Tei Cantonese to converse with him..

So just 2 more days of midnight followed by 2 Off days and 1 AL (hopefully).. Christmas is coming but I think I'll be spending it at work.. =( Hmm.. I'm actually missing work at GV for some reason.. Haha..

Hardly stayed at counter..

So sleepy.. So hard to wake up at 5am everyday.. ZzZzZz.. Maybe I'm more suited for office hours.. Haha..

Hardly stayed at the counter today.. So many stuff happening.. Firstly, helped Pearlyn bring a card up to the florist for a guest.. The auntie there asked me to bring the receipt down and up again to her after getting CC details.. Then she asked me to bring the huge bouquet of flowers to the guest.. I told her I was not from Guest Services but Reception and she replied, "Aiya.. Nvm lah.. You GS or Reception also nvm.. Wear cheongsam can le".. ZzZzZz.. Haha.. Ok lor.. Bring lor.. But the guest not in.. So brought the flowers back down to the florist and she asked me to just leave in the room.. So back up I went again.. Realised my key cards can only access guest lifts but not rooms.. So went around carrying that big bouquet looking for housekeeper.. Whew!

Secondly, a Japanese couple had problems with their keys so I brought them up to open the door for them but realised that the door was spolit after Simin and some other Hskg supervisor tried with their cards.. Called Security who took forever to arrive.. Lucky Simin they all were around so we opened up another guest room for the couple to wait while the door was being opened.. The security dept took forever lah..

Left MM with Jo-lynn.. Raining like mad.. Headed over to 7-11 to buy stuff so we could have bags for our umbrellas.. Haha.. And our slippers were drenched.. And good bye Mr. Song Jianli! Enjoy your 9 days of leave..

Dead Laptop..

Nothing is more bummer than a dead laptop.. Boo again.. It had to be reformatted.. But luckily I had a chance to save all my stuff before it gets lost in cyberspace eternally..

Well, I've started work in FO.. The cheongsame fits, the shoes are too small and the lipstick is so horrifying.. Haha.. I think it takes time to get used to it.. I've got a wondeful and pro trainer who really gives me lots of chances for all the mistakes I do.. The accounts department irritated the hell out of me today.. Grr.. Wasted 2 hrs..

Super stressed trying to squeeze in all the product knowledge.. Last time in Reservations, it was just a manual away.. BTW, seeing all the Reservations staff names in my OPERA screen brings back super nice memories.. Haha.. And I swear the Grand Tower Premier Rooms are mega-liciously Oohlala.. I'm gonna take pics of it before leaving MM..

OFF tml.. My 1st OFF on a weekday ever since joining MM.. Haha.. Dunno good thing or bad thing.. Oh well.. Signing off..

Saturday, December 1, 2007

What a bummer.. Wanted to drive the car today but it wouldn't start.. Bummer.. Boo.. I'll prob get cheated by the mechanic too so I have to wait till next week to drive.. =(

Last day at Reservations today.. Went for lunch at Heeren's Sakae with Haz, Jayne and Brenda.. Hmm.. They reduced their red plates prices to $4.99 and cut down to 4 pieces of sushi.. ZzZzZz.. My flabber is ghasted..

Oh.. And BTW, One Tree Hill is Oohlala.. =D

Bored.. Bye..
