1st day at work and a flying martini please...
i had my 1st day of work in my life yesterday... it was extremely tiring... from 3pm to 2am, a total of 11 hours!!! hahahaz... working at grand hyatt mezzer9 bar now... working wif my classmates, yikling, junhong and jeff... hahahaz... it is fun, i get to know alot of new colleagues today, whom i will describe in further detail on another entry...
my job scope would clearing of ash trays, taking orders, describing orders, serving drinks, clearing glasses, throwing out the trash, taking stock, clearing the bill, and my most favourite, recieving tips... wahahahaz i hate to serve drinks, i hate the teas and coffees... they come fine and heavy porceiline and its so damn heavy and hot, and i also haf trembling hands, so i would spill alittle everytime i serve those items... i like the wines and alcohol beverages better... sometimes guests would ask for wines and champaigns you have not even imagined before, and i would have to smile at them, and ask the senior fulltimers there...
i consider myself lucky today, on my first day, i am able to clock OT!!! though its tiring, but hey, who doesn't like the extra $$$... hahahaz the more i earn, the more accomplished i felt... hahahaz the bigger and better the present i can get for my crush on for christmas... actually, i have 2 goals to achieve for working, one is to earn at least $3000 by april, and the other is to be able to buy gifts and treat my crush to nice nice things... hahahaz :D for her and my 3000 bucks goal, i am extremely willing to take on almost any challenge i face in the bar... if i have the time, i might even research on the cigars and the wines and finer techniques of handling glasses, so that i can do more, you noe... and perhaps the manager might even up my pay!!! hahhahaz
as usual, i did something stupid everytime i have an new experience and today is no different... this early morning, there was a birthday bash at 12am, and it was a group of hip and funky musicians, and i saw shiek haikal there... hahahaz... u noe, the fat malay rapper wif a afro hairdo and his model wif annabelle francis. i too saw some extremely hot ladies, a pity they all smoked, hahahaz and abit too old for me...so there was this decent looking lady who was within the party group, and she ordered a dirty martini, and so i served the drink... the martini glass is horrendous, it is a glass which is very unstable, imagine a wine glass, but much sleeker and a longer neck, so the c.g. is too high... as i placed a coaster on the table for the lady, i tilted my tray and the dirty martini slid off the tray edge and went flying!!! whoa...i never even realised it till i felt dat my hand is wet and i heard a sharp glass 'crack'... thank whoever is up there i did not break the martini glass... but woe to another lady sitting opposite for me, i splashed the martini all over her feet... hahahaz, i was so embarrased... i apologised and apologised and apologised... hahahaz thankfully the lady juz laugh it off, i feel that i gonna be sacked soon if i am ever so clumsy again... oh ya, in addition to the flying martini, i spilled 1 hot chocolate, and 2 tea in the afternoon...
another interesting incident would be that of tipping, i got tipped $2 hahahaz... datz little i noe, and i contributed to the staff tipping fund, and junhong got tipped $10... hahahaz... why the difference? cos the tip came from a bunch of 'metrosexuals', you know those who like guys... wahahahaz i shall explain no further... i wouldn't wanna be tipped for allowing guys to caress my hand or slap my butt... wahahaz... junhong, u r the best...
anlin, i m so sorry i can't help u clinch the job, i ask the manager as often as i could ok? sorry...
