♥ istana
got back from istana function 2 hours ago and after reading cheryl's blog, i suddenly had this urge to pen down some thoughts, so yeah, here i am now, taking some slp time to talk about what happen at function today and some reflections about relationship matters.
basically, for last week, i worked every freaking day except friday, causing muscle strains at the heel area on both feet. The muscle strain felt like over-dosage of lactic acid concentrated at my heels. My heels were aching like mad and causing my mind to intercept this feeling as feet pain. Oh well, i am going to take like one week break and hopefully, i can continue the banquet job with my feet "seasoned" - meaning hopefully i don't feel the pain even if i worked from morning till night.
YEP, so istana! been going there for 2 days already, sunday and monday. waitressing at that place was unbearable, especially in the afternoon when the sun was blasting the heat at us and i had to wear the uniform properly, vest and white long sleeve shirt buttoned all the way, covering bottom 1/5 of the neck.
On sunday, my job was just to remove the plastic from the mandarin oranges and packed each goodie bag with chocolate coin angbao and 2 oranges. rar, towards the end, removing the red plastic from the oranges became so irritating. my fingers and fingernails became super dirty, with the skin peeling off and my heels were giving me quite alot of trouble. didn't want to do OT coz i worked since 7am that day. i was glad that i decided to go out for dinner with the "shawn gang", managed to noe more people better. and hahahaha, bitched about fengmao and all the kuku things he did.
On monday, i had to serve the tables. 1 waitress to 4 tables!! like totally wth rite, but everyone had to do the same anyway. luckily its buffet dinner so most of the time, the food runners carry the main courses over and i just had to put them on the tables. weijie was really very experienced and good, respect x20 for him. anyway before the function started, i exchanged shoes with yuhan, duno why but her shoes made my heels ache after wearing for a short while but my feet adapted and the shoes became quite comfortable. yuhan liked my $50 shoes alot, hahaha, kept talking about it luh. so serve serve serve, my memory was failing badly coz sometimes the guests wanted drinks, i went to take the drinks but forgot who wanted them. this scenario happened like thrice last night. super pissed with myself. yeah, nothing much la, i got to know more and more people like yuhan, pearlyn, shuyi, caoyin and gary. i felt quite lonely today la, because it seemed like i kept ostracizing myself coz i have no one to talk to, but i decided to just socialize with the girls (yuhan, shuyi, pearlyn) since cheryl told me b4 that they were very nice people. so in the end, i knew more people (the guys).
i oso have to mention the one very very very very very nice captain called wilson!!! he is super nice to me lor!!! that time when i worked at mandarin court (one of the banquet places in meritus), i sat down at the bar and massage my aching and painful heels and he saw it and asked me if i was okie. told him that my feet were quite painful. the day after next, i had to work from morning till night again and i met him in the lift in the evening. the first thing he asked me was how's my leg. I said my leg lan4 diao4 liao3, hen3 tong4. that night function, wilson allocated me to the tables nearest to the kitchen. after that, he found someone to substitute me and asked me to be drinks server so that i could slack more. obviously i didn't slack la, i walked around the whole area that i was in-charge of to refill drinks and get new drinks. i was even more diligent than others who were serving the tables. hmm den on sunday, he put me to work on the oranges coz i get to sit down and rest more than people working on the buffet lines. HE IS SO NICE!! :) so much better than the shirley la, wth damn pissed with her. she always asked people to do things even though she herself is more free than us. she cleared the plates and just left them at the tray unorganized and the waiters and waitresses had to sort the plates and utensils out again. like wth, might as well don't help us clear. on friday oso, i told her my feet were quite painful so i can't work, i need to go and see the doctor. she called me at 11am and told me that she had no time to find replacement for me and asked me to find replacement myself. TMD man, i msged alot of people and can't find any, so i just pon the session that night. the next morning i saw her in the toilet, she was like blaming me for not finding replacement and kinda told me off in the face that i die oso have to go for the function next time if there is no replacement. totally f-ed up la. WHATEVER. she is so on my hated list now.
and yeah, enough about meritus mandarin's stuff.
so yeah, reflections. I am just going to be very straightforward here i guess. cheryl was kinda having wavering stand about a guy whom she was very sure that she wouldn't like. but after the istana function, she was very very touched by his actions and stuff. even i could sense some new chemistry going on between the 2 of them during the dinner on sunday night. And, for the new couple michelle and weijie, they were so lovey-dovey until i kinda cannot stand it sometimes. to be really truthful, I have been feeling... alil jealous. for a few days after the weird dream, i changed the wallpaper on my handphone to a pic that i secretly took with my handphone. watever, just call me a stalker because i am one anyway. quite stupid of me because for the past few days, i actually was thinking that maybe i could have more motivation and strength to sustain at the sucky job if i could see him everytime. the funny thing is, i don't think i feel anything anymore. it's just a habit of mine perhaps, to satisfy my own stupid thought that the power of love can do wonders. I was beginning to feel more for some guys at my workplace, ayee, siao alr man, like super despo like that. i really don't like this.
i should really get the whole topic off my mind soon. my no.1 new year resolution for this year. I really don't want to end up feeling tired and hurt for no reason.
BAH, i am feeling that i have changed into another person recently.. maybe its all the hormones' fault. for e.g i think i need to buy more shirts and shorts soon, and nicer footwears. my wardrobe is pathetic, i had been wearing the same few ugly stuff to work these days: I am starting to feel the need to dress up already.
this is really ridiculous yeah.
