Oh my goodness!! Its 4am and I’m not asleep yet!! :(

Don’t know what I’m doing la.

I LOVE working at St. Regis!! The people there are awesome!

My first day there was at the Brasserie Les Saveurs as a runner. Haha! Nothing much to do. All I had to do was to polish the glasses, wipe the plates, and fold napkins! I was made to arrange all the can drinks in the fridge according to their type. So cold!! And they keep tumbling! :(

“Take this (coke), serve it, and don’t let anyone find out its not diet coke.”

Haha! I pity that person la! Lol. So bad right?

Second day was helping out at the wine tasting thing! It’s really nothing to do at all so time passed really really slowly..

Third day was today, or rather, yesterday! Banquet! A couple from ORPC got married! It’s the church beside the YMCA building that Shireen Jie Jie used to bring me to when I was little! Was grouped with Jeanie and Wei Xiong. Jeanie was the beverage server, Wei Xiong and I were the runners. The three of us were in charge of three tables.

Wei Xiong was sooo nice! He went many many extra rounds to help cover for me! Cos I didn’t know how to balance the big big oval tray the way the rest did and I had to carry it with two hands instead, which makes it feel heavier. :(

I feel so bad la! He didn’t have to cover for me. He could have just let me be really slow or maybe drop the tray and get sent home, but he didn’t. He’s so nice la. Jeanie too. She helped cover me by doing some of the running with Wei Xiong. It’s all these that makes up a team.

It’s so cool la!! I love my job!! I get to see how St. Regis run events and all these.. and I can apply them to usher and up my ushering to another level!

Oh ya! I ushered today too! It’s super funny cos we had to push open the ballroom doors and I couldn’t push mine. It’s really heavy la. Then Wei Xiong helped and he pushed so hard that it banged one of the guests… poor guy.

I’m so happy I read the ballroom layout the correct way! It’s really confusing cos it was printed out the wrong way and I have to hold it upside down and the other way around.

The people at St. Regis are way more than 10X better than the people at Conrad. The captains, managers at Conrad only like to blame us part timers for every mistakes, but here at St. Regis, they tell us our mistakes and show us the right way to do things.

They say the service standard of St. Regis Singapore is 4.6/5, then the service standard of Conrad Singapore must be lower than that!

And the manager still can say that 4.6/5 is too low for St. Regis! They even have a target standard of 5/5!! That’s what I call ‘up to standard’.

Ushering for Margaret Court service today!! I’m soooooo excited!! Haha!
