13 HOURS OF WORK
my previous blog was 16 hours of work... and today would be 13 hours.. yes! exactly today. just got home from work.. since 7 in the morning. this is no OT included. they want to try out the new system which is 1 week 2 days off but working hours would be like hell..
today is mooncake festival.. as well as our renaming our hotel. previously was The Oriental Singapore. now its The Mandarin Oriental Singapore. basically we were not called the mandarin because it has taken by other company but not for now. exactly 7.08pm the lion dance started. our company actually asked someone to come over to the hotel for 'feng shui'. that is why they started the opening celebration at that time. all the in-house guest get the chance to celebrate with us. complementary cocktail in the ballroom. strictly only for guest. all us the oriental staff gotta work.. so many ppl standing outside the main entrance of the hotel. the picture is like the hotel was caught in fire.. haha! crowded like ants.
Next we changed all of the stationery to The Mandarin Oriental as well as our oriental staffs pictures like 'grooming standards', 'fans of oriental and many other photos. 3 of my face was in one photo frame which is the grooming standards. my front view and side view and group photos together with other reception colleagues. another photo fame whould be just a wide smile alone in the picture. and the last frame was mi and one of my colleague.it was actually one of the pictures taken during the photo-taking competition that time.
Today's lunch and dinner in our canteen was TERRIFIC! dim sum, chee cheong fan, 'har-gao' -its called prawn dumpling or something-, buffet, steamboat blah blah blah. yummy!!!! normally the canteen's food was only rice and few dishes for chinese and malay stall. ate alot for lunch. haha! FAT-SO!!!!
slept at darling's house last nite. darling was so sweet.. both of us were about to fall asleep and i told him this 'i suddenly feel like drinking Ribena'. LOL! ok im lame.. but i've got that urge. i pester darling and he really went all the way down and walk all the way to 7-eleven to buy mi just that packet of pathetic Ribena. haha.. can u imagine at tat time it was already 2 to 3 midnight?? =P
alright.. going to bathe now.. meeting darling later.. im OFF tomorrow!! yeahh!!! FINALLY! =)

16 HOURS OF WORK
first of all.. bad day today... started work since 7am.. my shift was suppose to end at 7pm.. which is actually 12 hours shift.. ended up i had to finish my work at 11pm.. altogether 16hours.. im gonna be a superwomen very soon.. 8 hours more to 24hours! bad bad day i had.. my whole paper work was not tele at all.. because of night shift colleagues. i dont blame my colleague because she did actually came to apologise to me and did all her corrections in her paperwork in order for me to tele my paperwork.. =) i just hope this thing will not happen on mi again.. worst thing is i've gotta work at 7am later.. and waking up at 5.30am.. i really had enough of all this cashiering..
On monday i changed wrong exchange currency.. that currency was actually not acceptable but i still change for the guest because at that period of time all of us were so busy.. altogether 2 transactions that i've did wrongly.. each currency transaction cost mi $300. total $600 i've to pay. The first guest who actually checked out on monday itself agreed to refund the exchange. so case 1 closed. now what im worried is the 2nd transaction. this guest actually checked out and flew back to USA earlier on. so im unable to talk to him regarding of the exchange. my manager had sent an email over to him and told him about it.. still waiting for his reply.. hopefully he'll agree to refund it back to me.. if not i've to pay $300 to the hotel.. ='( and on that night itself while i was closing my cashier.. i short of $5.70 in my cash float. which i've already pay up. although $5.70 was just a small amount. but can u imaging if u keep having shortage bit by bit everyday? its not easy to handle.. *yawns* hopefully tmr's cash would be fine.. now i just pray that the case of exchanging currency would be a positve one. PLS!!! =\

NOTHING BUT WORK
sorry for not updating.. as usual.. busy with work, what else? haiz... been worrying about my re-taking exams. wonder if im still able to take or not? they told me in the middle of september they'll be having one of my failed module. but uptill now i don't have the time to go down shatec and pay my exam fees blah blah blah. and now im here to PANIC all these shits.
haven't been going home for about one week. was at darling's house everyday after work. woke up in the afternoon and off to work from darling's house. everyday was the same routine. nothing special. and now im back home for the past 2 days.
Last week our Mandarin Oriental had this event going on called "photo taking competition". i was asked to take pictures. just took some pictures for competition. is either publish in magazine or win CASH prizes. anyway its none of my business. i will not get the money only those photographers. so sad! 1st prize get to win 5 thousand cash ok. OH MY GOD! hmmmm....
darling told mi he had a bad dream. his dream was really holy shit! haha.. he said he'd dreamt that my previous boyfriend mark came to look for me while i was working in serangoon pub. and it became me and darling broke up because of him. blah blah blah.. forgot whats the ending part. haha.. rubbish. thinked too much uh? i've already let go of everything and willing to let my heart go on with darling. =)
Working at 3pm later.. but have to reach early as im having LQE training at 1pm. PUKE! waste my time.. grrrr... -.-" LQE means every part of our process in the hotel that we must memorise. 11 Golden Pillars.
1 . All colleagues will engage guests with eye contact and a warmth and sincere smile.
2 . Colleagues will proactively offer assistance to guests in our pubilc areas.
3 . Guests will be recognized personally through the use of their name, naturally and appropriately.
blahh blahh blahh.. untill the 11th pillar. -.-"
these few weeks they'll be some auditor and mystery shopper coming to our hotel to test our services. and now they're stressing us like hell. =\
enough for today.. im going to sleep now.. good nite everyone!
