Yeah...i have more and more friends turning into 21 already as it's almost end of the year!!! So now, everyone are the same-OLD...

First of all, a very warm wishes to my hou heng dai, liang di and yong - yc's bf... i cant believe both of you were born in the same yr, same mth and same date!!! All the best ya...I wish i could be there to celebrate your big day, turning into 21 should be a very fun and memorable one as it's a symbol that you are now free from cage and legal to enter into CASINO... :)

Went for my third shift in PCEC and this time is a very terrible one. Worked for 9 hrs non stop (30mins lunch break, thats all), and reached home at 9pm. I couldnt believe what i have done today.

My job for the day is to help out at the banquet. When i arrived and saw my name written on the whiteboard, stating there BALL ROOM 1, i almost wanna turn back and go home. I can imagine that i m going to suffer alot for today's work. But i still give it a try anyhow.

Before i start work, i was so clumsy in the toilet. I was in a rush and i couldnt bother to watch my actions, and i just closed the door and got my finger stucked in btw the door and the toilet roll box and the skin just peeled off and it keeps bleeding non stop! I was so shocked and suck my baby finger immediately. It was really really really painful but i was too afraid to scream. What a clumsy me :(

I dont have time to clean my wound or go to the first aid room to get a plaster. So i just ran up to the Ballroom. First thing i saw was MR SUPERVISOR (he is the one who picked up the call every week when i called to check for my roaster, and gives me a very bad impression-rude and fierce while answering my call), While i was still looking for my name on the sheet of paper sticked on the wall, the bad temper supervisor asked me, 'what is your name?' , 'is your name on the paper?' I haven finished looking at all the names but i heard someone answering for me, 'YES'...wow, i turned back immediately to look at who that gentleman is, how would he know me???

To my suprise, a handsome guy stood behind me(^.^), i suppose YOU answered it for me ( cos the voice comes from the back of me, and you were the only one standing there )!!! I turned back n continue searching for my name to double confirm. Great, found my name and realised that i have a partner. Didnt notice that my partner for the day was actually an indian guy's name, thought thats YOU, so disappointed. ( when someone answer it for you, you will definetely thought that he is your partner rite? ) Who knows, my partner is a skinny indian guy who is damn LCLY when i say hi to him..WT.............

It's a pre-election lunch of the politicians. I am so glad that i could meet him. ( i dont know which politician, but just feel proud that i could be part of it ). The first serve for the meal is pouring red wines and white wines, these are fine for me. Next is serving the main dishes to the 4 tables( 40 ppl ) which i am incharged of. OMG, each time i have to carry 5 plates (damn heavy and gotta walk so far away from the kitchen to my 4 tables, not allowed to leave it on the floor, gotta hold with one hand while using the other hand to place the dish on customer's table ). The first round, i was carrying it with my two hands, walking step by step. The second round, i was still carrying it with my two hands, wishing that i have four hands, but walking like a drunkie. Third and fourth round, walking like shit already... I believe everyone who saw me would have been laughing at me. I dun think there is any of them who pity me. whatever~~~ i had already embarrased myself. Luckily none of the guest are leng zai, all old people.

The next thing is to collect all the dishes. Oh no, this is another tough job for me. I need to put as many plates as possible on my palm and ARM ( no eyes to see if i drop them on the floor ). Next is to serve desserts, coffee or tea, clear up all dishes, sources, cups..... If you happen to work under hospitality, you would understand how would i feel on that day. By the time i finished with it, i still need to do polishing for about 5 hours. WT........i only get to go home at 8pm for that day. I had a very bad pain on both of my hands, shoulders and legs. When i was having my lunch and dinner, my fingers were all shaking ( like old ppl ). I dont even have the strength to hold my spoon, not to mention scooping my rice and put it into my mouth, and dont forget, i still have an injured baby finger.

When i got home, i saw my pay slip for last week's job. I was so happy opening it, but once i saw my TAX, i almost tear the paper and throw it into the bin. 47% of my pay has gone to the TAX deduction!!! WTF... That's almost half of my pay man!!!

No way, i am going to find out whats wrong with it. Am i suppose to be taxed that high? I got no money for travelling already!!! I have to wait for a year to claim back for my tax.
