Ugh!! i have less than few hours of sleep left for tomorrow's flight!!! argh! i have to leave home at 5.45 and here i am still blogging cause.. I KNOW~ you all will miss me. Haha. ok that last part is fabricated. -.- Anyway, i'll be going to china people. Fu jian province. Those who don't know please know it now.
Today's work was not as tiring as any other work. Yet the pay was good. =) I earned $80 just today, working for 10 hours. It was an APEC Appreciation reception dinner held on 3 days, 1 day at suntec and 2 at EXPO. Today was the first day so we had to prepare everything. Set up goodie bags, allocate prizes. mark out the prizes with numbers etc etc.. Anw our morning shift was suppose to drag all the way till 2pm but due to our super efficiency we ended everything at around 11am. -.- So, we slacked. From 11 to 12 was our "Paid leave" Where we earn money while having our breakfast at suntec. Haha.. Then we came back to just slot some extra stuff back into the goodie bags and slacked again till 2pm. Had to pack around 900 goodie bags leh.. tough work but we are Singaporeans! and singaporeans stress on efficiency.
Lots of part timers were there, and surprisingly me and peng were the second youngest. There was a 17 year old boy.. -.- Wow. Its a dinner with lucky draw and stuff and more stuff... Morning shift ended quite easy and nice. Then 2.30 to 4 was our lunch. LOL! Just a few hours we just had breakfast... -.- So in the end the part timers all of us went to play pooL. Haha. Thats right.. play pool with a bunch of university people. By the way they at around 21-23 years old.. -.- mix of guys and girls. We played pool.. play play play.... ugh running out of my sleep time!!!
We play play play... till we were almost late. But we were not. Reason why we were not late was because the police had to do a bomb sweep on the whole convention hall.. o.O Thats right. Our guest of honour is some big shot.. ( Will reveal at the later on in the post ). Anw, the bomb sweep was quite awhile and ended up we were only able to enter at around 4.30++...
Part 2 of our shift then begun.
I came to realise how meaningless APEC is organising such events. We spend so much on food.. ( Pictures on food must go peng's blog see.. my phone memory space ran out... -.- ) hire people to do this decoration that. In the end we spend so much which we could have used on green thingys... o.O I'm just saying the rich people really know how to spend their money. -.- While the poor ( Us people ) really are working there. -.- Rip off their food and stuff. 2nd part of my job was really boring.. I was the person in-charge of the Time Capsule. Yes. The thing u put things you want to save and the bury the capsule underground. 10 years later you dig up and the say: "Oh!!! this was the underwear i placed in the capsule 10 years ago!! WoW" -.- Of cos they don't put underwears in this capsule but materials for reference for the next APEC meeting.
So... Back to the part where i was in charge of the station of time capsule. ACTUALLY, i was the ONLY person there... So i am the incharge and also the one doing all the work. Haha. But there wasn't any work to be done. i Served only 18 person, collected only 18 items out of the 900 people that attended the dinner. Pathetic right... thats why i really feel we shouldn't even have a post APEC appreciation dinner la.. waste more money nia. Anw, the whole event only started at 630pm cause thats when PM Lee came. Yes. Mr Lee Hsien Long~ Our guest of honour... -.- Big shot enough to have the place go through bomb sweep before he attends. Haha. Anw the whole time as i said was boring. I sat there to wait for people who wanted to drop things in to the time capsule but apparently only 18 people came. SO yea. I sat there most of the time watching th big screen tv and slacking.
Part the ended at 8.30 where we have DINNER!!!! AURORA!!!
Dinner rocks. Food there was like 5-Star hotel food. All the prawns. Omg the prawns are really splendid. Taste like delicious rubber. Really. the texture was so nice and the taste WOW. Add the thousand island dressing and tomato sause.. WOW!!!! The main attrative food there was actually the prawn. -.- Haha... Alot of other food too and we ate till 9-10pm... Collected our pay money. YAY. and then went home. =( Reached home just now about 11.30 and tadah. Here i am posting blog. Okok i really got to get some sleep. I'm leaving in the morning so i don't expect any bon voyage messages. Nevertheless, i'm bringing my handphone with me.
Here are some pictures inside the convention hall.. =)
The prizes... Tagging them
The glasses used to entertain the guests.. The whole table was cleared.. There was another station at the other end... -.-
900 goodie bags.. =( Killer job. My back aches cause we had to bend down alot.. Which reminds me.. There was this girl which was jeffery's friend. Jeff is our so called employer.. She is 175cm tall.. But actually she is the same height as me. She was so freaking tall and we decided to call her 175 girl. Haha. The way she kneel down the height from her kneels to her head reaches my chest.. I'm feeling abit short right now... \
Setting up the whole convention hall... =( Tiring.
