Having a month of holiday, you don't expect me to study everyday right? (jc life) Even though I have tons of unfinished homework awaiting me and I know I can't finish them in this holiday. Reason being very simple, I'm just not in the mood, not yet :(
So a great way to enjoy life (means no study in mind), earn some extra cash for xmas shopping, get involved into something that you've never encountered before, broaden your view is to STEP INTO SOCIETY which is get a job. Part time job la.
I worked for 5 days at M hotel (4 stars) Lucky got direct bus from my granma's house cuz I can't imagine myself reporting late due to freaking MRT disruption.
Every staff have to purchase their own name tag. This thing costs me $7 for goodness' sake!
Dress Code:
Black jacket, black skirt (Uniform provided)
Transparent stocking (I bought it like $3 cuz I forgot to wear on the first day :(
TIE A BUN with HAIRNET (second time doing this in my life)
Black shoes
Bought a super comfy shoes cuz working at banquet is no joke!! I stand for like 5.5 hours every night.
Lucky my working hour is only from 5.30-11 pm!! oh except for Sunday 10am-11pm wha that day nearly die but when I got the pay ($82), everything is worthwhile!
I had wedding dinner duty for 5 nights, 1 wedding lunch!
After what I've been through I think that wedding is not special anymore cuz all the schedule are the same, not to mention the food too! I can even memorise the menu by heart already LOL
The staffs:
God half of the staffs here are Vietnamese, only very very few are friendly, wha the rest are damn bitches! That day I partnered with 1 experienced freak, she's extremely good, can served 3 tables at once (normally 1 person serves 1 table especially the beginner). But so what she always give me that asshole face whenever I asked her something that I'm not sure about, or worse she'll just ignored me completely even though how hard I tapped on her shoulder to confirm with her! total fucking bitch la!
super glad when I worked with Singaporean or China cuz they're so fun to hang around with. They'll share with you their working experience like when to pick up the food in the kitchen or when to clear the dirty plates or whatever! During break time, we'll stay in a corner, have fun and start to gossip LOL (the manager who looks 40s but actually he's only 20s is in a relationship with a 17 poly staff wtf, I even overheard their conversation and had goosebumps instantly)
Kitchen:
oh god the kitchen is damn slippery, no joke 2 person fell down and were sent to hospital!!
I broke a bowl LOL but it wasn't my fault la cuz the cleaning area was so chaotic, and btw not only me the rest even the experienced one also broke glasses, sometimes.
Serving:
I can tell that my whole arm was shaking like nobody's business when I was holding the teapot on the first day!! thank god no spillage happened otherwise.....(don't dare to think) then after that I got used to it, it became a piece of cake, maybe my arm had developed certain muscle LOL
Overall:
it's a good experience, it gave me motivation to study harder at the end of the day cuz I don't want to fall into this kind of category in the future. I wanna get a good job , a job I liked and passioned with.
Too bad I didn't get a chance to snap a photo of me in uniform and in bun LOL
