Noticed that my Ritz post have been getting longer, more like a reporting style. Will look into how to shorten them for future post. Anyway announcing that i wouldn't be working very hard for the next 3 weeks. Why? Next week is the only week left for me to do a 20+km run (i know its abit late but better then never). Following will be IT show week from 27th to 30th, held that Singapore Expo. Week after next is the week to Standard Chartered Marathon, cant let my feet & legs to get swollen and tired prior to the race day.
Ok back to happenings this week
Fri: Boring day.. The staff list is only 1 piece of paper. No night event. No OT. But got food!! Worked under Grace~ Arrived at at 710+, she sign me in as 730!!! Forget to bring my locker keys hence made many wasted trips up and down before i report to her.. 10mins!! Argh~ Anyway what's half an hour when compare to a 100+ dollar worth voucher.. Whole day just stuck in M floor to do up so preparation stuffs for other rooms. Never do any service to guest, basically whole day just at the back area of M Floor. Under Grace, you will be tenderly looked after.. If you never see her for like 1-2hrs, you will receive a phone call and asked what we are doing.. since when you get to find managers who so concern for you..
Hightlight for Fri is the Welcome Dinner for these group of Indian-national guys who are Doctors!! Coming over to have some kind of conference. Their welcome dinner is superb! i never see so much food variety before.. From Chinese's Hainaness Chicken Rice to Malay's Satay.. Basically all the local food. These people have pretty bad time management. Dinner starts at 7, mostly staggered in around 8-9pm. Doesn't look good for the organisers.. Ignore them for now, more will come on Sat. When they left, hell break loose like Hellgate London, but this time is Ritz Carlton. Managed to get my camera out to take some pictures even thought they are busy with peeling prawns.
Sat: Start at 6am report to M9 (previously undertaken by snapper, pool side restaurant/bar). Under Da Jie again, plus i will be stuck here for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, serving the same GUESTS from yesterday!! Indian Music constantly playing for the whole day.. Breakfast starts from 8-9am Only 2 ang moh came in at 8am, follow by another 3 Indians, Rest came mainly 0830-0845. With the large variety of our breakfast, from juices to cereal, pastries to hot foods. If they eat like western style, will take them half an hour to complete trying all.
By the time is 9am and their conference starting at 915, some of them are still having their breakfast, one even came at 9! This really show how bad their time management is! Organisers even have to personally tell them off nicely to get them moving their butt from the seat.
Abit of turn over for M9 and I'm ready for the lunch. Lunch is much better, come, eat, go! Whole afternoon, I'm basically walking to and fro M9 and ballroom. Looking at the afternoon Chinese wedding dinner. After that wedding lunch, they have to turn over for wedding dinner.. shag~
My side, by 4pm im ready for my dinner. Walking around check what more needed to be done. Drag till 5pm, go for dinner.
Haha, I'm waiting for the dinner. Ignore the comments on the guests. Just talk about their liquor will do. Blue Label and Glendornach (vintage 33). Was quite tempted to try them out on the rock, which is what most of them are drinking with.
For the dinner, still pretty wide spread of variety! Chinese Chili Crab and Laksa station! The rest are local other races food, which i seldom lay my hands on.
OT: shag shag shag~ sian sian sian~ Dinner change to theatre setup for New Creation Church Service i think. All tables and extension out, all chairs in! 1200 pax! I was chair trolley party follow by chair cover party.. Only these 2 tasks enough to occupy me from 12 to 4am! nuff said
Sinful food
