Hey! So today is the very very tiring, but yet still fun day at work! We arrived at the usual 9am, and changed and everything before going to wrap the hampers again, until we realised that we are missing quite a lot of things such as: Stickers, 1 kind of cookie (1 more kind ran out during the packing), stickers, ribbons, etc. Haha it was quite funny trying to fill the orders with so many things missing, lols. So after a while we were sent for lunch, then hung around at the CDEC office before being redeployed to somewhere else again! Haha its actually quite fun being redeployed cos there is a sense of mystery and you get to experience new things! So for today we went off to the banquet section. Lols, and for some reason, on our first day there, we were sent to set up a ballroom for a company's huge dinner/christmas meeting. Lols, even our friends there couldnt believe we skipped all the small meetings and stuff to this big thing haha. Well, it was really tiring there, and there was a lot to do, such as wiping the utensils, laying the tables and chairs, putting on the chair covers, helping the guests with their gifts, setting up the food table, and stuff...but the people there were generally very friendly, and I realised that some of them were also students, but were having their internship for their diplomas there. Haha, so much to do, and we worked slightly overtime, until about 5.20pm. So the manager quickly let us off, and while we were having our dinner at tiffins, we quickly had a discussion on what we wanted to do next. We could either: Go home and hope that everything will be ready tomorrow, or , Work into the night today and less for the next few days. Haha, obviously we chose the first one... Shaun should know one of the reasons...hes not coming tomorrow...haha. Well, so we returned to the christmas hamper packing, getting all the required items from all over the hotel, from the pastry kitchen to the really freezing freezer (where we had a short briefing in, lols), to the chef office...haha. So we worked another four hours past our standard time, until about 9pm, when our manager, also coincidentally well-named, Jack, thanked us and told us to go home haha. As we were preparing, we were calculating how much we 'donated' by working FOC haha. It amounted to about $80 just for today, for each person, haha. So do the rest of the maths yourself. Lols, although this was meant to give us experience in work, I feel that through work, it has also bonded the few of us more closely together...=) Or should I say us colleagues! Haha. Here are a few more photos lol. So tired, so wont have OIP update for today. =( And so sorry I will be missing out the stuff like OIP gathering and 3T soccer session...so sorry, but I have to show some commitment to my first job! Haha. Please enjoy without me!
