Firstly, HAPPY EASTER DAY TO ALL EARHTLINGS! Yes, i know i know. I know that i've not been updating these past few days and i have the 'PERFECT' reason, or excuse if you want it to be. I've been working till 11pm the past few days and when i got home, i'm just dead beat! And mind you, it's long hours. It's either 3-11pm or 12-11pm. What's more today our restaurant is having Easter Day promotion so the night before we were busy preparing like hell. Moving 16 oblong(long) tables, 40 chairs, 15 XL cloth, 20 sets of salt & pepper, all from 1st level to 4th level. And the staff lifts in Pan Pacific can't be any lousier. Using our brains & strength to maneuver those stuff. Of course we had to arrange those chairs & tables according to the blueprint for Easter Day.
Along with the chaotic waves of kids running about, more-than troublesome parents, typical easter day's children activites, everything was still a success no doubt. HURRAY! But I just simply cannot stand how kids eat. Their food seems to be flying about though their parents are there. After the whole 'war', the floor was dirty and that screams "ALAMAK!" for those cleaners. Poor them. Haha.
Well, SAT i got to meet 2 gorgeous beauties BUT there were some rude impolite guests too. Know who i met?
She's a newscaster.
She's anchoring in Channel News Asia.
She's a mixed blood(seems to me).
She's none other than...
CHERYL FOX! Not any other foxes but CHERYL FOX! Don't play play uh! I was the host at that time so i ushered her and her boyfriend(a black, not sure what race/nationality though) in. Talked to her, told them the concept & what's going on for that period. At first i didn't know that was CHERYL until that all-seemed-too-familiar accent/voice of hers came out then my eyes lit up! With her long reddish-maroonish hair, sweet & absolute clarity of her voice, i was captivated. Haha. Not long before i finished my 'preaching'(that's my job) they asked me, "Thanks alot. Is there a Japanese restaurant nearby?" I simply -_-"... Never mind, i just showed them the way to Keyaki(that Japanese restaurant) on the same level though. After that i jumped around and told everyone i saw CHERYL FOX! Haha! Excited mah... Didn't see and talk to her before what...
Right now, having a mixed blood/different race/nationality as your life-long partner is a trend now or should i say, a norm. Most offsprings that i've seen(till now) are all very good-looking, very pretty/handsome. Hmm... my eyes are already set in that direction. Haha!
MIXED BLOOD MIXED BLOOD MIXED BLOOD!
nono, i don't want pig's blood or mosquito's blood!
Continue...
When i walked to the bar counter, i thought i saw PARIS HILTON. I gave a second look. Cropped blonde hair, dark-brown large shades on, crossing her legs lusciously(isn't she famous for her lust? Haha) it seems that all falls under the category of PARIS HILTON. Went back to my place for host and then there came a couple.
Me: "Yes, how may i help you?"
Them: "Yes, we're looking for someone."
Her: "A blonde hair."
then walks walks walks...(with me bringing them in)
Me: "Is she the one?"(pointing the 'PARIS HILTON')
Her: "Yes."
Me: "Oh... Pardon me for saying this. She really looks like Paris Hilton from far."
Me & Them(laughs)
Her: "I'll tell her that."
(continue laughing) and walks away.
To my horror, after 'PARIS HILTON' took off her shades, it was totally 2 different person.
Impolite guests
I don't know whether i have any grudges with Indians or mine & their ba zhi bu her(8 characters don't match). There was a group of rich bastards(male) who kept giving me that i-don't-care-how-much-it-is attitude. When i presented them the bill(which amounted to S$300++), they just put the card on the billholder without even looking. Faster get your arses out, don't wanna see your freaking loathsome act rich faces!
Different scenario.
The other was a female indian guest. She was in a group of about 13 people. I asked the group whether are they ready to be served the bbq items then she asked me: "Or you like rushing us?" I immediately & profusely said: "No no no..." Partially it's my fault cause that's the 2nd time i've asked them and partly also the chefs wanna serve out the food already so it's better to prepare as a whole, for other guests having bbq as well. So i had no choice but to ask. And the 3rd time i came back, i told that female indian guest: "If you're ready, just approach me or any of the staff." Then she went on to proceed asking the group(rolling her eyes at me) and the group said okay so i went to tell the chefs(with her HUGE eyes rolling at me again to continue her conversation). You think you have big eyes i scared ah! Gorge out your eyeballs then you know ah!
That night i also encountered a couple who're hearing impaired, deaf. The moment i ushered them in, the wife told me that they're deaf. Knowing that i couldn't do much and i wouldn't be able to understand what they're mouthing-the-words to me, i took out my order chit and wrote down what i & they wanted to say. After about 10-15 mins, i showed my hands to the direction of the seats(offering them to have a seat first then it'd be easier). From there i communicated with them once again with the help of the pen & paper. It all seems so ancient now. Occasionally using my lousy hand communications/signals, they understood abit. Haha. Pathetic me. They had a misunderstanding with the receptionist saying that since they're staying on the Executive Level, they don't need to pay wherever they dine at the hotel. VANESSA then proceeded to call the Duty Manager to come up and clear up the air. And then i went back to my host. After 15 mins or so the Duty Manager came and told me everything has been cleared, we both laughed. Haha.
Other than that, everything is alright just that i had a long day today. Easter Day gotten all the staff exhausted. It was chaotic, but well controlled.
Right now i'm listening to 表白 by 萧亚轩. When i'm listening to the song, the scene whereby SAN SAN(my colleague) kept doing the hands pointing left right left right(imitating 萧亚轩 dance moves) and kept singing "不知道不知道 为什么对你说 喜欢你说不出口 好想跟你表白" I don't care whether the guests were looking at me or what, i just had a big laugh! It was absolutely hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing to myself upon listening to the song, even if it's repeating. The scene of her doing those stuff just kept replaying. Haha! She's really adorable.
