Got ma first red packet!

Just came home from a chill-out session with colleagues in town... Finally it's off day for me today, been lookin' forward to this for 6 days!! Thank goodness I'm still alive.

Yesterday evening at last I got ma first red packet from a guest!!! She's such a nice person - patient and didn't give me any sort of trouble. I love this kinda people! And the amount inside is $12, even more than what ma own relatives gave me. Hohohoho....

I also encountered nasty guests who kept bombin' me with questions while I was busy handlin' some matters at hand. You want us to be fast but you wanna distract us... I'd rather you ask me after I'm done with your request. Slow, complain. Lousy service, complain. So contradicting. And if you want us to be nice to you, do not be demanding and rude. We are not here for you to test our patience....

Now the situation at work is sort of gettin' better. The queue is now more manageable. Or maybe it was Sunday night that's why. Ahhhhh....

I wonder if ma leave application for April will be approved!!! ;\\

5th day of opening

Today is the third and final morning shift before ma next off day. Last morning I woke up at 5.30am and I was like "What??? So fast it's 5.30am and I have to go work again..." And this morning I woke up at 4am+ and found ma'self on ma chair and right in front of ma netbook.... Then I decided to just continue sleepin' on the chair for another hour. Coz if I were to go to bed, I sure oversleep. ;\\

Wanted to take sick leave as I felt really too tired. But come to think of it, I'd rather save ma sick leave for some other time, don't waste it first. ;p

Another dragon queue today. There were some disagreements and unhappiness among guests in the queue. Oh well.... All I can say is they have to live with it. Don't blame us for being slow....

3 more working days... Starting from tomorrow I have to work from 5.30pm to 2am but I think I will have to stay back every night to help out with the overwhelming crowd...

This job is not funny man...!

Super busy day after 2 rest days....

Back to work today... Seriously, I've never had a time in ma life when I couldn't leave the counter for a toilet break or even a sip of water for the ENTIRE day. And the last time I got a terrible backache was 5 years ago when I had to get used to bendin' ma back at work during ma internship days in the hotel (I worked in the front office back then).

Today from 8.30am when we took over from the previous shift, we were occupied all the way past noon time and till the very last minute of our shift. I had ma lunch only at 3.30pm at the back office and I kept it short at 15 minutes. As usual, our Director bought all of us take-away lunch. And he gave us red packets each in the morning. So nice of him!

Though busy, I was happy coz I received complements from guests on ma service. Hahahaa. But I also had ma fair share of dealin' with idiots. After ma experience with 3 idiots at the counter today, I think ma patience is really well-trained. I managed to keep ma smile all the way while they kept makin' things difficult for me. Wanna eat me up huh... I make sure no way they can do that!!

5 more days of hard work. 加油!!!

3 occasions on 1 day

14 February 2010 marks Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day and also the opening day of our casino. Spotted many huge cameras and photographers and media just outside the casino, waitin' to film the opening ceremony. At 12.18pm (the auspicious hour) when we officially allowed entry into the casino, it looked almost like there was a tsunami. Too many people.... And the crowd got bigger and bigger towards later part of the day, and not forgettin' the dragon queue outside the membership counter.

Supposed to be a happy occasion but ma mood was ruined by certain people. Not from ma department of course, I love ma colleagues too much. All wonderful people!!

Just not happy that I had to look at their faces as long as a horse's. Even guests didn't show me a black face; they were all kind to me and understanding! Silver, Gold and Platinum guests, mind you. I'm particularly unhappy with one guy who actually rolled his eyes at me. Wtf... I will find ma chance to roll ma eyes at him too! Who the hell does he think he is? Not even a guest here. He wanna scold me, then I scold who? I scold the system? Or I scold the person who created this system? Bloody hell.... Got no eyes to see I was so busy with so many cards? Everyone just freakin' pushed their guests' cards to me sayin' I had to process for them "NOW". Well, I should practise something called "selective hearing".

I'd rather face the uncles and aunties than "those" people... At least some of the uncles and aunties are friendly and lovable.

Today is ma off day and I can have a good break from work. But startin' from tomorrow, it will be a stretch of 6-day work non-stop. Sian...

Oh, too bad I missed the firecrackers and even more unfortunately, I missed ma chance to appear on TV!!!!

Anyway.... At almost midnight I met up with Angele at Clarke Quay and settled down at Yello Jello for some margarita and beer. Had to destress ma'self before I see ma'self in distress....

Joined the queue at the cab stand and we waited for an hour for our turn to get a cab!!! Totally horrid....

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!!!

License granted

Our casino license has finally been granted today.... Good news for everyone! But that would mean I have to really slog at work on Chinese New Year with ma colleagues.... And not forgettin' having to celebrate Chinese New Year with all the gamers....

Wish me good luck~~

Ma most happening day this year

31 January 2010, which is actually yesterday, was so far the most happening day of this year for me.... I received the news early morning about the approval of ma employee license and I was over the moon! Just 4 days from the date of ma interview and I've gotten ma license already.... Wanna thank the kind interviewer!

After work I went to Universal Studios with ma colleagues to try out the rides. Took the Enchanted Airways dragon coaster and Battlestar Galactica. Humans versus Cylons... I went for the Human one. Totally scary and made ma legs turn jelly. Wanted to take Cylon but we had to wait more than half an hour so we gave up.

I shopped at the stores and spent a total of 180 bucks. Lol... I've just contributed ma funds to ma big, big, big boss again.... But it's all worth it ^^

Today we went there again, this time round it was for lunch. Pretty good chicken, but super deep fried. Not good to eat too much especially when I'm already growin' fatter.... Hahahaha.

Bought a small bag at Vivocity specially to squeeze into ma work locker. There go ma Korean bag and Guess long wallet.... ;\\
