Work and Weddings..


Random blog post title again.. lol

Pic above is the sticker we need to paste.. Green one is security by the police.. Pink A is mean I serving VIP... D:


Worked yesterday at Banquet from 10am.. 1st was to do saigang.. To clear the remnants of the breakfast buffet.. Then helped to set up some tables.. Then was the coffee break session of UBS.. They then had a meeting in the ballroom afterwhich, we pulled in tables from the outside which we prepared earlier and set it at the grand gallery... They were served lunch there..

Then was saigang all the way till evening.. Cox we had to change the setting of the ballroom from meeting to dinner.. Chinese set dinner.. The out-sourced decorations are dam chio and must be dam expensive.. It is like wine glass shape, only much, much bigger.. Theres glass balls inside and branches which are painted white + flowers are inserted and put onto each table.. Theres near 60 tables...

There are 9 VIP tables... I din know how big the event is until I saw police.. D:
Went to eat, which saw Wax, Tzehow, Xuanyi, Cabrina, Purdey, Chiayin, Gladys and some other people whom I know..  After dinner, went to ballroom to continue the setup... Seems that they last minute change the setting of the glasses.. Very troublesome... Dam tiring..

After setting up, Wax told me I'm under VIP, he said "there's many VIP groups like V1, V2 etc.. You're under VIP."   I was like "OMGOMGOMG"  Saw and verified.. Im under VIP, which is the host table.. 1st time kena VIP jiu kena the main table.. Somemore the other 8 VIP tables are surrounding the main VIP.. SM Goh was there, Mr. Mah Bow Tan was there, Mr. George Yeo was there, DPM Wong Kan Seng was there.. Saw Mr. Tan Cheng Bock at one of the normal tables too... When Ayer Rajah was SMC it was great luh... 

The 1st course is Roast Suckling Pig.. Khor dam joker: "All the pig go in 1st, are you pig? No, then don't go in. Eh pig go in faster!" 

2nd course is individual portions of SHARK'S FIN SOUP.. Long time nv see shark's fin, mostly fish maw etc.. Shark's Fin soup is like VERY VERY BIG PORTIONS of SHARK FIN.. OMG..
According to manager, each bowl costs a staggering $300 each.. 500+ guests sio..

3rd course some veg+sliced abalone+sea cucumber..

4th course fish..

5th course roast chicken..

6th course INDIVIDUAL rice wrapped in lotus leaf [or some other plant leaf i forgot..] Must be very expensive as individual requires more work for Chefs..

7th course, dessert, has a very nice name: Double-Boiled Sweet Soup With Four Treasures.
Layman's term: Cheng Tng.  *Facepalm*

then was clearing up and knocked off at 12 midnight.. West has too many ppl and so theres 2 buses.. D: Sian............

Reached home, bathed, read saturday's straits times, and used com until 6 in the morning then sleepp.... D:
