Under Construction Blog has been removed!

Ok for those who missed my blog and wish to see what latest update have. Most of you all should be disappointed seeing this window

I was still wondering is it my blog's URL which i just entered. Got bad bad feeling about it since i heard that Wilson got his blog closed before. The idea of all my CNY blog post all gone, even thou i have did a backup recently on the 9th of Jan..

Next i tried log in via my blogger account. This is what i see...

WTF! they removed my blog just because they think it has some characteristic of being a spam blog. Did some search on other user who might encounter with this.. Well not little, in fact there is a spam Friday which they did massive removing of people blog! I want to know when i can get it back! Some say 10days, some even say 20! OMG.

I have even open a new blog, named it "Temporary Thoughts".. haha! Anyway finally got my blog back within 2 days. Missed out a few things to blog about, but never mind. One of them is rant about how Wilson does his ranting in public area...

What you will see soon is my BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS! in Ritz and with family members..

Training confession

Have been lazy and not motivated to train for past few weeks. Maybe because Singapore Biathlon is not my 'performing' race. A short summary of what training i did for pass 2-3weeks? Just to log down how i feel for certain run and swim sets

Run:
5k TT: 22:15min
10x 400m: Avg 1:27
6x 800m: Avg 3:12

Have been stuck with the 22min TT timing.. Will train forward for sub 22. Now quite addicted to interval training, running faster with more rest. 10x400 and 6x800 pace was told to run faster than the pace chart. Really can feel the kick, HR pushing a painful but manageable point.

Wils ran a 2:45 for his 6x800. Wah! For me, after each run i need to undergo a electrical cardioversion during the 1:30min rest and continue for next run!

Swim
Swim have been sucky. Now training is packed with 1.5km swim sets. Quite demoralized to hear it, not to mention executing it.. Maybe im too focus on my run than swim. Now just hope that my current swimming proficiency can get me thought Singapore Biathlon.

Biathlon
Ok, did 2 biathlon trainings for the past 3 weeks. Done in Sentosa is 2 sets of 800m Swim and 5k Run. While another is in TP, 1.5k Swim follow by 400m swim and 5km run. Can see that coach is moving on the 'transition' part for her training. Missed another 2x Biathlon training yesterday.

Whats next
Had ran 2x 10km by myself. Hope can integrate it into my present lifestyle. Would take up much time as it wouldn't go more than 1hr. Just need to be discipline to run. Potential dates usually are the days after work. Will aim to run in the evening round 5plus 6. So any kakis, if keen in running Tampines Area without much fuss of traveling, can text me!

Looking froward to run for Sundown, even thou the race is after Sing Bia and its in May. Will start its training in Mid March. Will refer back to coach's old sets for Standard Chartered, but with a change of route to familiarize with the totally different route.

Need more motivation

Blogging about Ritz

Have been blogging about work for quite sometimes. Always taking foods which we ate and happening moments. Start wondering who is actually reading my blog from workplace.. That because one of the manager, ADRIAN come and disturb me about me blogging.. I reviewed my posts, so far only mention Adrian, 大姐 and KSK. Nothing offensive i hope.. haha! Then on the PT staffs, hmm only mentioned about closed working mates. Just hope don't get them into trouble for being in the pictures i took with them..

This post is not about me blogging about Ritz. In fact the first paragraph is just a warm up for whats coming next. Heard from Andrew that our S'pore renowned blogger have worked in Ritz before. Some more VIP server leh.. That around 2003, a year before i went in, i think. she had quite a unpleasant encounter with our KSK and hence wrote a complain letter to HR dept. YA! no joke! HR DEPT. Anyway here is the link Anti-KSK post,

Haha after going thought the complain letter i seriously think she can be a blogger. freaking can write long shits out of nothing! Checked out her FHM special (at the side link), aiyo freaking can bitch around. I'm not a XX hater but had this impression that her blog is really good since alot of people are reading.. But after a reading a few post.. erm no thanks. For bitching news, hmm can consider passing my time, but will go for MrBrown first.

**Update**
Anyway, whats the point of writing such a long complain letter while KSK is still surviving in Ritz, constantly chee hong-ing younger girls.. for like the past 6 years?! haha Now i know his lame briefing jokes have been lasted for 6 years.. haha!
**Update**

Within her post, i saw a reply, whom this person is also a BQT manager. Came out with his/her rant blog on the stuffs he hates, as a BQT manager. Pretty funny. Enough of hearing staffs complain, now can start hearing the manager's rant!

Back to Ballroom on 初十二 | 'OX'-picious

Back to working inside Ritz, feel so lost. If noticed, for the past few working days, its all OC for me. Even forget to get plate before queuing up for food at the cook house.

Started at 11am, M floor. some Company's CNY Lunch. As usual and simple except Yu Sheng for the first course. Only 30pax, easy peasy..

Never see this course before. Very interesting!
Looks more like a Western Course than Chinese 7th Course. Each platter is served with half a lobster (small one la)

Just when i was about to try this course, aunt came running to the beverage store looking for me urgently! Fucked i thought 大姐 looking for me.. Then she say, you want 红包 or food.. Quite a obvious decision to make! Throw the food to stewarding and rush into the room. When entered, i thought that i wouldn't be so nice, so i 'gay siao' try doing some clearing.. Then the host walk over to me and pass me the 红包.. haha! 发阿! Huat Ah~

After getting 红包 quite sian to work for evening's dinner (target hit). Heard that now due to cost cutting, staffs have been greatly reduced to minimum and lots of full time staffs are being deployed in to BQT (lateral service) after going thought this training session called MTP - Multi-Task Programme. So the previous night, the ratio of PT to FT is almost 1! Imagine the uncles and aunties from dept like housekeeping and finance whcih have no experience/link to service coming to help with just a few hours training..

Event: CIMB Security CNY Dinner. 550 Pax
Lucky got to work as VIP, together with CH.. Total of 10pax and Khor as our IC.. Total guest arrived, 9. Total guest remain after the CO speech (before the first course), 8. Total guests remained by dessert, 5!

Throughout the dinner, we have encounter with uninvited 小强. For detail story, can msn me. Overall the dinner is fine. However seems to be quite a few unhappening things happen here and there. A few breakages, 1 spillage, staffs & guest sent to hospital. Heard that the guest was drunk, fell on his head, leading to a puddle of blood at Stella Gallery. Handling the FT for OT is a tricky issue, cant really 'instruct' them to work, usually need the manager to step in to 'gan everyone', ya including us. But that's part of the 'show' la.. Cant make it so obvious that manager is scolding them. Good thing is, most of OT stuffs being done by 12mn!

Nothing more for this week. Only working next week OC on Tuesday.. Would be working once weekly for this period now i guess. Abit lazy.. haha!


15hours+ 红包

Outside Catering on 初六

Its 初六 and i started working, going to miss the steamboat session at my uncle's place also! Working outside catering within the 15 days of CNY, sure get 红包! So looking forward for the 红包 to be given to us at the end of the day..

Event: Outside Catering, Standing Buffet at Leong's House (not our Leong Foo Wen)
Venue: Around Simei ITE area, Guan Soon Ave. Landed Property.

Reported work at 9am, do up some preparation work and left at 10plus. Reached the host house before 11pm.

Left: Host's house
Right: Evidence to show we are working

First thing we do when we arrived: UNLOAD! What i hate about unloading is when the lorry is on a SLOPE~ especially when pulling chairs down. In total we have 3 truckload, each for BQT, Stewarding and Chefs (which arrived later around 3plus)

Left: Left side of the house, Koi Pond
Middle: Walkway after the stepping stone you see from the left picture (taken from inside the house)
Right: Koi fish (taken from the walkway leading to the middle picture)

Spend a few minutes exploring the external area of the owner's house, like the Koi pond, it has a walkway beside it for guests to get close with the fishes.. Also from the inside of the house, you can open the sliding door and the next step is into the pond!

What we can really do at the time is setup the area and buffet line, layout all the table cloths and chairs. Very brief and minor tasks as some of the plates are dirty, some table cloths too big so need to wait for the afternoon truck trip. Had our lunch pretty early at 1230.

Lunch time at Back Area

Had our lunch at the back area. Wah! Had quite a good menu for today! Most of us ate 2 boxes of ingredient. The host even even out and invited us into his dining area to eat. But all of us prefer to stay at the back area as its more 'comfortable' for us. Imagine Rahimah misbehaving, FW and Anand childish argument.. haha! The quiet back area suddenly being injected with lots of laughter and chattering.

Back to work again at 1pm, did some minor touch up to the setup, clear the unwanted stuffs and settle back area. Then we go for another round of 'break' again! haha, less than 1 hours we are back to our cosy corner..

Left: Interior design
Middle: How big their mirror is! Half as long as the toilet.
Right: View from Toilet Bowl, Basin with 2 taps. (don't worry no smell)

Felt a sudden urge to visit their toilet after lunch. The toilet is so freaking BIG! that i take some time snapping the pictures of it. When seating on the toilet bowl, the toilet roll is one arm length away, that my ass is almost lifted when trying to reach for it! That roughly how wide it is...

Hmm the snacks not bad~ *Munch * Munch
Oh i found food, Bak Kua!!!
*I'm full~!

Kitchen area, out of the 2 kitchens they have. Does not include the dining area yet!

Weather is so hot outside, that the owner/or the maids? invited us into the house to sit. We all sat at their kitchen area. Were told we can help ourselves with the CNY snacks on the table. So CH and RHM helped themselves with the pineapple tarts. Since we can help ourselves with the snacks so means the Bak Kua on the table is included la! haha

Anyway just when we finish our snacks, the host can over.. Maybe I'm too comfortable in the kitchen area, that i greeted the host 'UNCLE' instead of 'SIR'.. I find it perfectly normal until i see the glare from everyone's eyes.. Then i knew that i greeted wrongly. RHM commented that "you can eat their bak kua, doesn't mean he is your friend/'uncle'.. haha! Now thinking of it still makes me feel peisah..

The functions doesn't have much to share about, just a simple standing buffet. Only thing that caught my eyes for the whole functions is this sex bomb with this superb figure. Nice curve, tanned and smooth skin, solid bumper but comes with a face like the barbie doll , Bratz.

Food of the Day

Penne in cream sauce, asparagus, preserved meat, prawn and mushroom

Throughout the buffet, find some chance to tryout some paste made by our chefs. They have a selection of sauces, pastas and the ingredients. So its pretty customized to your preference. Also had some tempura prawns & prawn dumpling (skin abit thick).. Nearing the end of events, we had our own 'standing buffet'

Well, till now i have roughly go through all the happening stuffs we had on this event. End of the day, we really got a big 红包 from the host, more than what was given during 初一 outside catering. But the most take back memory for this event is the humbleness of the host. His family got very good up bringing, just by looking at his sons whom one of them even helped us to 'dig' out the soup bowl which dropped into their dirty pond.

16hours + OC allowance + 红包
