I went to work for the second time, at Swissotel Merchant Court (SMC) for the first time, as a banquet waitress for the first time. It was very tiring, right from the start.
I had to exchange my IC for a key, a card and a piece of paper. Then with the piece of paper collect my clothes. Then I had to change. I met two Malay girls in the toilet beside the lockers. And then I saw Angelique in the toilet! :D It was a surprise. I was so glad that I knew somebody there. Angelique was made to serve the VIP tables. She has worked since Nov.
The senior manager made me serve drinks to the guests at the reception area. The round tray, despite only with 4 to 7 drinks on it, was very heavy. I met Octovan and Xiao Lan? there. This task required stamina because we had to walk around until somebody wanted a drink and thus lightened our load. I was telling the truth when I said I almost dislocated my left arm and wrist. I think it was just me, because my bones are weaker than average. Once all the drinks on the tray were taken, we had to refill our tray. So walking around with one drink left is better than none. After that, we had to clear all the glasses and snacks and clean the glass tables.
We went back to our tables. We had to check the drinks constantly then change the less-then-half ones with full ones. It was very wasteful. I had to remember to carry a tray no matter what I carry. It was troublesome.
I heard that somebody spilt a drink on a guest and he was sent home. Then I found out that it was Octovan.
I only got dismissed at 11.30pm and changed until 11.40pm. I almost got lost trying to get out of the hotel. I quickly ran to Clarke Quay MRT because I was scared that I couldn't board the MRT train because it was too late. I was frantic when I heard last train to Harbourfront although I knew I'm taking the train towards Punggol. I reached Yishun MRT at 12.40am today, which means that I reached home at about 12.50am. I showered and drank milo then went to sleep at about 1.30am.
I don't want to go back there ever again. It's worse than NAPFA. Now my arm muscles are aching and the soles of my feet are sore, still. Now even lifting my arms up is difficult. I almost died ytd. Mummy said I was exaggerating. Anyway, at least I survived the day. Not to mention I didn't eat my dinner or drink water or go to the toilet during the 7 hours.
