Muscleache everywhere. Sunday is a bliss. To rot at home and transported about by wheel chair my chair. Yesterday was a terror which totally sounds like joke now. Listening to the training was easy. I always knew the carrying of trays with foods part was tough. But I never expect it to be this tough. The tray itself was bloody heavy already. And just by putting 5 porcelain plates on it, it weighs a ton to meee.... Our worst fear was to spill the foods on the guest. On the first dish and only the first dish, my brother hit onto the table number stand and spill the water on the guest. The tables I was in charged of werent too far from his. And I heard him kept apologising. It was so scary and worrying. Very hard to describe. I was fortunately, in charge of the beverage part. But I had to help carrying the soiled plates and stuff back. I totally lost count of the number of times I went to and fro the kitchen area with heavy trays and glasses.

My brother was deployed away to handle other tables. Yong Han served the second dish to the same table. Second table was roast pork. Blimey. The pig head dropped when he served the dish to the table. So he was also deployed away. I think that table guests should be extremely unhappy after the two servings. But it sounds so funny when we talked about it later on.

My tables guests were quite easy going (thanks god). And they speak mandrain. So I more or less scrapped through the night with easy guests and helpful partners. But there's one aunty serving the other two tables adjacent to mine. She very bossy. Kept bossing me to do this do that when I wasnt in charge of her tables. And she doesnt carry a single trip of soiled plates and thought she did me great service by offering drinks to the guests on my tables. I had to help her carry those heavy stuff instead lor. Bloody. On the trip to and fro, I kept seeing familiar faces carrying the big big tray with a lot of plates and foods. See until heart pain. Aaron, derrick and holly they all so small and thin. Then the tray is so big until their whole body had to tilt to accustomise the tray on the shoulder. And my brother and yong han.... I swear I will never introduce what shit banquet jobs to people already. =((((

The only good thing about the banquet was that I got to see the big shots HongKong actors on stage. They got invited to host the dinner. Got zeng zhi wei, ou yang zheng hua, yang yi, miao qiao wei and xuan xuan. Basically is mostly du chan feng yun's casts. I only got high a while and had to keep working like robot. Walked fast fast (cuz the tray too heavy and cant afford to walk slowly), served this, served that. Dun have time to enjoy the performances.

Everybody complained to quit when I got out of changing room. Honestly, this was the first time I saw yonghan and derrick chat until so agitated. A bit hilarious. But I dun think we can undergo another round of carrying. The foods were damn bad also. Western only got two hot dogs, soggy fries and rice. Daily special was only beehoon with some meat sauce. Damn pathetic. To think the guests dun wanna eat the abalones and bird nests and we had to throw them away. =(((((

Money is not easy to earn. I know that long ago. I just wanna emphasize.
