Worked for 16 and a half hours on
Tuesday, 10th October 2006 with only 1 break. Let me start off from the beginning. Early morning from 7am to 12pm, do coffee break and set up at ballroom. Ballroom had a 51 table dinner that same night. So we had to turnover. At 12pm, I went up to the 20th floor, Grand Club. Had to be the runner for one female butler who's serving the Princess of Brunei at the 16th floor Presidential Suite.
Sidetrack a bit. The presidential suite was oh-so-brilliant. It was daym freaking nice. It had, a master bedroom, a hall, a study, a dining area, a walk-in wardrobe and a big one at that and the master bedroom's toilet had a sauna, a shower, a toilet, a jacuzzi and all the shower scrubs and foams are the spa kinds. And there was a total of 5 plasma tvs in the suite, including in the toilet area. Plus the one in the adjoning room, it makes a total of 6 plasma tvs. The ambience of the whole place was comfy and zen. Cost/night= SGD 6,000.
Back to story, work in the suite for 9 hrs till 9pm. Butler signed me out, went back down to change and sign out. Walk pass the backlane of ballroom to take the stairs up to 3rd floor to take my bag. Saw Din, Din saw me and pulled me into working in the ballroom serving wine. Then helped out with the back tables. From 9pm all the way till 11.30pm. Finally sign out and went hm.
The next day,
11th October 2006, start work at 7am again. Work wif Shamiir. Did coffee break. Had to tend to 2 coffee stations for 2 different events and the coffee stations were at least 5 metres apart. Kept walking back and forth.
Shamiir was a pita for signing me out late eventhough told him I had to be released early as I had to get back to school for rehearsals. Den again, he did sign me out at 3.30pm so it's still early than later. Still, he's a good companion when boredom kicks in at work. Crazy as well. Sometimes he just makes faces and starts talking crap.
Went back to TP for Magus Luna rehearsals with abang. Took a cab. Indulge in the luxury of having an expensive form of transport once in a while especially with the amount of money I'm making at the moment. Rehearsals ended late and I reached hm late yet again.
Skipped work today,
13th October 2006, told sweets to tell them that I'm not feeling well. Apparently they din believe since they snorted when sweets told them the news. At least I got an mc.
Rehearsals ended early today but the crew had to stay back to finish up with the set. I love it. It took the pain and effort of so many people. And the whole thing is shaping up eventhough there are still some things that needed to be done within tmr and Sat before production itself. Im FOH yet again. :D
