says what she feels..
Tuesday, November 29, 2005
The 26th of November, hmm how do I begin to describe it? It's way up there as far as frustrating days go.
First of all, I had no company. And when you have no one for company during a function, time passes by really slowly.
Ok, so I wasn't really alone. Michael was there but it's not the same as hanging around females. What guy in their right mind would discuss how cute the guy at the next table is with a girl? Unless he's... Ahem, never mind.
Anyway, the afternoon function turned out to be just like the song BAD DAY.
There's a line from the song that goes:
Sometimes the system goes on a blink and the whole thing turns out wrong.
In this case, the system is the VIP server and she's goes cuckoo and I'm not kidding.
The whole thing that turns out wrong meaning the order of the dishes was all wrong. That's real bad.
Imagine the fish being served before the duck. The fish ALWAYS comes after the duck/chicken. Any self respecting banquet staff should know that. The whole cock up started from there. I'm not saying that I'll be a better VIP server or anything but when the chefs screw up the order, the captains should be informed right? So the VIP aunty went ahead and served the fish first anyway. I understand her logic of serving the food while it's warm but won't people question if the order of the food is wrong?
Then comes the toasting. This time, the newbies(one of my cousins amongst them) served the food while the whole yum seng is still going on. ~Slaps forehead~ Who the hell is going to eat at that time? Moreover, it is a huge inconvenience squeezing through the chairs cause all of the guests are standing. Tudor Terrace isn't exactly the size of the National Stadium you know. Get this: While they are happily serving the food, the VIP server haven't even brought the food out to be served yet. Isn't it just wonderful?
By the way, I think all the newbies behave like monkeys. Monkey see, monkey do. They move in packs. The running joke amongst us is that if you ever need to find one of them, just look for a crowd of people and chances are, the person will be there. I'm not saying this because I dislike them or anything but they need to stop treating the place like SDU. There is a time and place for everything, just not socializing 80% of the time damnit. I really hate it when they block my way. Not intentionally of course, I'll rip them into a new one. They are so busy talking and socializing that they are forgetting some people are actually trying to work and is mighty pissed that they aren't.
Back to the prawn thing, Michael and I saw that they were doing it wrong and told Jessica but we were the ones being scolded. WTH? In the end, Michael was quite pissed. Come on, the whole thing wasn't even our fault in the first place. There's nothing we could do if the plate of food is already on the table and being served.
Understadably, everyone was in a bad mood after the function. I just wanted to sit down and relax. But no, Jessica told me that the other of my cousins disappeared during the entire function.
I almost had a heart attack.
It turned out that he was there, but no one knew who he was and so assumed that he had gone MIA. See the nonsense that I have to deal with?
KNN. I'm still too young to die leh.
Chinese Wedding Dinner at night:
I'm the VIP server. What have I done to deserve this?
All the other VIP servers aren't working.
Too damn stressed to care.
Too damn slow for my manager's liking. Hey, you were the one who wanted me as VIP server when there are plenty others to... Ok, you had no other options. Doesn't mean you can;t train someone else as VIP server for situations just like this.
Screwed up the red wine meant for the VIP table. Served them the normal red wine instead. Shit.
Everybody else was very happy because of 2 things:
ONE: I'm a very slow VIP server. Everyone else just have to follow my speed.
TWO: When I'm the VIP server, I seldom yell at people. I don't have the time to. In fact, I do it too many times a day to count on your fingers and toes. They love it when I can't yell at them. Especially Nono.
You know what the worst thing was? There were no hot guys working.
Absence of hot guys = Bad moodLabels: GWP
