Wat a muddlehead I am! Was suppose to report work at 11am and I reported work at 9am. Everyone was laughing at me. Anyway, started work early and so, ended work early too.

Last day of Beverage. Morning shift. Working at Greenhouse front bar. Set-up together wid May and Gobi. Didnt expect that the response for Mojito was so overwhelming. May and I made a total of 100 plus Mojito in that 3 hours of operation for Sunday Brunch. May said its probably due to me that the "business was good" and that it wasn't the same wid Leslie around. I guess its jus pure luck. Went buffet dinner at MS Suki Ya wid Ira and Biyin. Ate and gossiped. Ha. And home sweet home. Tmr is the start of Banquet and its my off day. How good is that? Will be working at Banquet for a month and in room dining 2 weeks. Till then, more updates soon.

Zheng ying's birthday. Happy birthday, my dear girl! So coincidentally that Its my off day and actually I only got one off day which is Tuesday but cos of the long working hours at Banquet bar so I got another off day. So nice huh? Met up wid Carol earlier at 2 plus and shopped for Zheng ying and Meiteng's bd presents. Couldn't find Meiteng's present(she wanted to have the Harry Potter and the half blood prince in hard book cover and we wanted to buy for her cos she like it and we know she will be reading it) at the bookstores but to no avail and we have to think of other alternatives. And, Jasmin joined us later. Wanted to buy a vintage clutch for Zheng ying and its the last display piece and the condition is not very good or the salesperson said there's more at Orchard Central and at that time, time was running out for us and we dropped the idea. Walked around Taka, Wisma and Ion, we bought a pair of black pumps for Zheng ying at Schu and a pair of Lee Cooper pumps for Meiteng. Cabbed to Sixth Avenue, Dunearn Road-The Tea Party. In cab, Carol kept one of Meiteng's pumps in her bag and mixed up Zheng ying and meiteng's pumps in a box and see if they will notice. Walked here and there and we couldn't find the shop and we called for directions. Hees. Bought two slices of cakes upon reaching and asked the waitress to serve it to us later. While the cakes were being served, we played a trick on them, asking them to eat within a minute. And so, they lost the bet but there's no forfeit. We passed them the presents and asked them to choose. They opened up and found out that either the shoes were wrongly mixed up or there was a missing shoe. Meiteng had a missing shoe and Carol came up wid a lie that she left it at her house and asked her to get it from her after the dinner. Both Zheng ying and Meiteng actually believed. Halfway thru, Carol confessed that the missing shoe was in her bag. Its a surprise afterall. Played Taboo. Imagine 15 people playing and how noisy it was? We played, laughed, took pics. Its was a great time. Took bus to Bukit Batok and trained home:) Pics will be up soon.
