The cons of not blogging properly for a long time. Yup, I have forgotten what I wanted to talk about. Haiz.
And I'm still waiting for people to send me my photos, they seriously owe me a shitload of them.
First things first, photos from eons ago:
I think it's taken the day we went to Cartel, can't really remember. Too long ago lar, oops..
I really like the last one. I look very glam in that one, don't you think?
We are sort of like runners-up in a beauty pageant surrounding the winner. Wahaha..
Except, I don't know what Xuan thinks she's doing.
Since I'm blogging for the period leading up to Boxing Day, let's start in chronological order:
Eve of the eve of Christmas
Had my D & D on that day. My first D & D wor! Ok lar, I've been to lots of them but it's always work and obviously none was my own. It's quite fun to dress up and stuff. But the process of buying a dress, shoes, accessories, etc etc was a huge nightmare. It is held too bloody close to Christmas so shopping for those was akin to fighting a war. It's not a joke queuing for the dressing rooms I tell you. And booking appointments to do your hair, makeup and nails was... challenging to say the least. But I liked the results! I had my hair curled and glitter all over. Super nice! I really want to get my hair done like that permanently. Haha. Didn't use my own camera to take the pictures though, will have to get them from someone else.
On to the dinner itself, it was held at some hotel in Orchard Road. I'm declining to name it for obvious reasons that I'm going to slam it.
It's not Goodwood Park by the way. Won't it be a coincidence if it was? I'll probably be recognized by half the staff there and be in seriously deep shit if any of them had a slip of the tongue.
The main point is, the service there SUCKS. Even I think I can provide better service than what was given to me that night, and that's saying something.
Let me list down the things they did wrong:
1. Ignoring the guests - A big no-no in my book. I never ignore my guests, especially when they are waving at me. Minus 1 point.
2. Not topping up the drinks - WTF? We don't need to drink is it? My glass was one quarter full for 80% of the dinner. Minus 10 points.
3. Service too slow - 20 minutes for one course? 4 hours for 8 courses? What the hell is going on? If it had been GWP, we would have served it in 2 and a half hours flat, give or take 10 minutes. I'm not exaggerating. Minus 100 points for making me starve.
4. No 2nd helping - What? You think all of us are on diets or something? Minus another 100 points.
One good thing though, the entertainment was HILARIOUS. We had Kumar and his 2 very cute looking(but most likely gay)dancers to entertain us. Most of his jokes aren't suitable to be repeated here though, he only promotes 'family values', not family entertainment. See if you get it.
Christmas
Went back to GWP to work, the money's easy to earn for that day. Buffet wor, how hard can it get? Anyway, can shun bian celebrate Xiaodi's birthday. Haha, stupid right? Earn money then straight away go and spend.
Ron came back on Christmas.
What are the chances? I seriously thought he wasn't going to. Of course, the atmosphere was sufficiently awkward, given our very rich history together. Xiaohui even wanted to message me beforehand to warn me that he was back, just to give me time to compose myself.
In other words, try not to strangle him. Yeah right, one blow from him can finish me off. I'm not in such a hurry to die. But working with him again was ok lar, just like when we first started working together a long, long time ago. But some things just can't be forgotten.
I wonder if he's done being pissed off at me yet.
After the function ended at seven(Strange right? A function ending so early on Christmas), we went Cineleisure to eat pasta because the almost-birthday boy wanted to. Many funny things happened, it always does when the 4 of us are together. Like suaning Xiaohui and her habit of taking neoprints everytime we go out, we must always sign on the tissue/receipt/flyer of every single place we visit, act cute when she wants us to, etc etc. I even have my standard act cute pose now. Disgusting right?
Went to Partyworld to sing cause K Box was too X. Partyworld wasn't cheap too, hundred bucks for 4 hours leh. Sha ren fang huo! But I had a great time lar. Xiaodi can be the next Jeff Chang/Guang Liang/Kelvin Tan wor. Qing ge wang zi! But the one that takes the cake was Michael, sometimes I don't know whether he's singing or yelling. All I say is: He should never be allowed near a mike ever again. But his hamming for the camera was super farnie. Especially to the Ah ya song about red beans. Heh. Xiaodi was very gan dong that we actually became siao that day just for him.
Finished about 1 plus that day, reached home about 3 plus in the morning. Shared a cab with Xiaodi where he talked about how touched he is. Lucky I had someone who stays in the same area as me cause Xiaohui's cab fare came to twenty big ones. Her pay for Christmas really pao tang le lor.
Boxing Day
Due to Christmas wan de tai feng le, woke up with no voice. Oops, but I regained some of it as the day went by. See, no one can resist my beautiful voice.
~pukes~ I must be hanging around Michael too much. Sprouting too much crap lately.
This time round, York came back. Must be the time of the year for making comebacks. I don't like being outwitted by the Lawyer but it sure beats looking at Jonathan and his minions all the time. Now he's taken to calling me Dajie.
Since when have I become his sis? Too many people calling me that le. I look that old meh?
~Sobs~
Worked the whole day, 2 different functions. Ended up being the VIP server for both of them. It's getting really hard to refrain from cursing at my bad luck.
Ron was in both of them. At the rate things are going, I will be striking lottery soon. That's 3 functions in a row now. Why is Jessica doing this to me?
For the night function he was paired with my cousin.
I really don't know who to feel sorry for. Heh.
But I did my part as a cousin by warning her about him and his tendencies towards violence. She ended up slowing him down during the function from my vantage point at the front of the ballroom. I went to help them out of the goodness of my heart, so by the end of the whole thing he was talking civilly to me again.
I hope it remains that way.Labels: GWP, outings
