Today can be considered a day of bad luck... Wat an interesting day we had today!
Have been doing 5.30am opening shift for the past few days.. Hmm... Usually at around 6am, I would have finished with the F & B area and would have settled down at the reception doing my report already. However today, it was already 6.40am and i have not even started with my report....
Our b/fast starts at 6am in the morning. But 2 stupid guests came at 5.45am this morning.. Me together with Chef Lawrence and Chef Kaji were still setting up the buffet table. What the hell they come so early?!! Orh okie.. cannot blame them.. They have early flight this morning. Ok FINE! While continuing setting the tables, at abt 6am.. 'DOOM'... I sense sth wrong. Aircon was not working and when i entered into the pantry, i found out that e fan was not working also. Fridges as well!!! Oh my god.. Power failure in SC!! Called the engineering for help. Urgent urgent. Cos there's guests at the dining area. Engineering came after a few minutes, trying to fix the problem. Haha.. Alamak!! then i realise coffee machine also not working!!!!! Oh dear oh dear... Called the Duty Manager (DM) for help. They came up.. but they can do nth also wat.. They r not engineers.. DM Boon and Kevin were panicking becos there will be Virtuoso guests coming in to have bfast in our club at 8am. (Mind u.. They are our Very Very Very Very Important guests) Aircon not working.. Hahah.. how would they think abt our hotel?! As in our club.. Cos i guessed every other levels are ok. Except for the SC 4th level. Guests wans coffee we also cannot produce. LOL.. In the end, we went to In room dining to get 3 big pots of coffee and 1 pot of hot water juz for standby... DM Kevin was clever enuf to bring up a coffee machine from Financial centre. Smart sia! And put it at our back office. Wahaa...
Over at the buffet table, settings were a bit different becos our new head chef from main kitchen wanted sth diff.. Some new stuffs like muffins bla bla bla... Made our whole buffet table look so cramp. Thanks to him. I'm also not sure if the settings is only temporary for these few days becos of the Virtuoso guests or permanently like that. Everything has to be perfect today lah. So this morning was so damn packed at the pantry. Around 6 chefs were up here (For the buffet settings), 4 engineers (For the power failure), 4 Duty Managers (For everything), 5 staff from SC and 2 staff from Town restaurant!!!! Oh my god!!!! Full force juz for the Virtuoso guests!!!!
Why has it to be this day with the power failure when the Virtuoso guests are coming?!
The electricity recovered at abt 8am. Imagine. 2 hrs without air con in the hotel (Only level 4) and no coffee mixer when the guest wans coffee. A five star hotel!!! Oh my god... We were all sweating loh. But lucky me lah. I was at the reception doing the reports and check outs.. not as bad as them. having to run the dining area. They are more tiring than me. Haiz.. Have been stationed at the reception for these few days opening shift. So sad. I only managed to go to the pantry towards the end of the bfast period today. Haha.. Cos i switch with Jon Jon. He's sick so i asked him to stay in front. Moreover, today is his last day. haiz... Sad sad sad.... And i got to noe today is Chef Kaji's last day at SC club also. But i'll still see him ard in the kitchen lah. hahaha.. So she bu de.. Keep asking him not to go. Haha.. Then i asked him who will be coming up next week, He said Johansen. Ah!!! Chef Johansen!!! My favourite chef. He was attached at SC last time also. LOl.. then i asked Kaji to leave faster. Haha.. As fast as possible. I dun wan to see him anymore. i wan Chef Johansen! HAhaha.. But of course.. I'm kidding lah. he noes that too. I where got so bad right?!! But frankly speaking, i really enjoyed his company at the SC. Very fun! Hee... Especially when we were bickering with each other. And i won't forget that he always cook egg for me and he taught me how to fry egg. I mean a proper egg! It's not easy u noe.. LOL.
Have been ending my shift late yest n today. haha. Cos we were having some photograph taking session with Jonathan. Last 2 days ma.. Of course must take alot of photos. Sad lah.. My dai lou going off. No more teasing from him le. Whahaa... No 1 to call me heng suay suay le. Sob sob sob.. But he's leaving for good. He said becos of his studies, he's leaving. But only I noe the real reason! Hee.. Wish him all the best...
It's was around 7.45PM when i realise that it was FRIDAY the 13th today! No wonder this morning.............
