Went to work unwillingly. Why? Because today is HKL’s Annual dinner, all the other trainees are either off early, or totally day off to help out at the event. And me? I had to work because my manager won’t let me change the schedule. Damn…. I wanted to go so badly because this will be my first time attending an annual dinner. Felt so sad the whole day. Even though I brought a set of dinner clothes, I did not put any hopes to go. One was because work ends at 10, and by the time I get there it will be 10.30 already; and secondly, all my friends would have been in there and it will be too damn awkward for me to walk in alone like this. So I told myself, I will go with the Chynna guys (if they are going after work) despite the fact that I’m already not in Chynna.
Started work at 12.30 like normal, break, then
at 6 the permanent staffs went to the ballroom to register themselves, and I tagged
along with them. Saw my friend at the registration counter, wearing nice dress
and nice makeup, that feel….. urgh. The restaurant that I was working in was
exceptionally quiet, there were only 7 guests the whole night. So at around
8.30pm, one permenant staff finished her shift and wanted to bring me along to
the party, just to walk one round, get some food and come back to work, but our
assistant manager said she will send me up later. L I don’t wanna go in alone
awkwardly! After about half an hour, our AM asked the team leader (which the
position is equivalent to a supervisor) if trainees are allowed to go up, and
he said no. I was like whatttttt???? All the other trainees are up there and
you say I cant go?! That feeling was seriously imba. He really spoiled my mood
for the next 1 hour. After my shift, I went
to Chynna to rant it out saying that my team leader wouldn’t let me go. Then the
bartender at Chynna, William asked me to go along with them since they will be
going after work and the restaurant was quiet so they will be done in a while. Okay,
mood changed better and I went up to my locker to get changed. When the lift
door opened, we saw everyone leaving the ballroom already. Heyyyy? Isn’t the
party until 1am? Why is everyone leaving at 10.30pm? Luckily I was going with
the bunch of them, at least we were in this awkward situation together. Went to
the ballroom, met my friend and we started taking photos. Partied abit on the
dance floor and left the ballroom around 12am. Wanted to ask my sis to come and
fetch me but my other team leader, Bobby offered to send me and another friend
home. Why not? Before leaving the ballroom, I was holding a cup of beer and to
not waste it, I decided to gulp it all down. Forgot the fact that I was gulping
it with an empty stomach.
Me skulling the drink.
Went back to the locker to get our
stuffs, and 2 of the guys were getting drunk already. Even I was feeling abit
dizzy. I thought I could drink. Went back down to the lobby to wait for Bobby, and
one of the guy wanted to puke. Holy… we quickly contacted Bobby so that we can
get to his room (he booked one room in the hotel coz he was performing for the
dinner) and funny things started. Hing was really getting drunk, he started to
talk nonsense and talked so loudly in the lobby. So embarrassing! I getting
more and more dizzy couldn’t even walk straight and was pulling on William’s
bag. I think he got dizzy because of me pulling him. Sorry! ><
Went to their room, and all of us
started talking nonsense. Haha. We decided to go to MCD to get some coffee and
food to freshen up, as William is driving and he is supposed to send Ah Hing
home. But William keep saying that he is not drunk when he is drunk. (which
drunktard will ever admit that he is drunk?) Finally felt better after going to
MCD and reached home at 2am. And damn, my parents were still waiting for me. Told
them to go and sleep first! Why so stubborn.
Us talking nonsense and going high.
If it wasn’t for William, I would
have missed such a fun party thanks to my Graze team leader and AM. Things would
have been so different if I was still working in Chynna L
Buddy who entered STEP and HKL with me.
Chynna Team leader/ Taylor's senior from 5 years ago. Also one of my favourite team leader in Chynna. He is always guiding and helping me. Gay but can't see that he is gay.
Caryn (Xue Er) the only same age female with me in Chynna. Her main territory is the reception/ IA. Always helping me out and talking to me. A very sweet girl. Too bad that she has resigned. :(
Jackson. The HR trainee, also the one who made me scream at the corridor when I burnt my hand. Even though we were from the same batch but we only knew each other after going for internship. Can't you make any better pose?
HR team, except for the white dress girl in the middle, who isn't supposed to be in the picture.
William, Chynna bartender. I always call him Prince William and he gets flattered all the time. ==
One of my funniest memory about him was one time I was told to take care of 2 PDR, 201 and 202 and he was at the other PDR 200. When I was clearing at the end, the plates and stuff were too heavy for me to carry so I went to ask him for help.
Me: 威廉王子，我需要借你的肩膀。
He: 你有什么事不开心尽管说出来。(him holding his shoulder)
Me: 我需要你的肩膀帮我扛东西。wahahahahah
He: 原来你只是要利用我。。。
I laughed throughout that whole conversation coz his facial expression was so damn funny.
He was also the one who taught me how to hold 7 red wine glasses with one hand.
Hing. Our Chynna "da hor" or known as food runner. Everytime I will be looking for chilli padi during his busy hours and he will tell me where is it placed in a pissed off tone. But after knowing him for some time, I know that he is not that fierce and he is quite a funny guy. P/s: drunktard!
Bob from HR. Funny goy, always cracking jokes.
Ah Wai. Another "da hor" from Chynna. I always call him 老夫子, don't they look alike? Haha. A guy who is very very very sensitive to poking. Love to poke him everytime :P
The Chynna team with our manager, Michael. Gonna miss the fun and memories created with you guys!
