last nite was one helluva nite.. imagine: a wine lounge with both interior and exterior seats.. a total of 20 tables, close to 51 pax at one point.. only 2 service staff.. yes.. dat was the scenario last nite.. only me and retail manager, kenny.. operations manager jason was on mc.. me and kenny holding the front.. and boy, were we busy.. so busy, we didnt even have a break.. let's not even talk abt our ruined dinner.. =xwith only 2 staff and 51pax to look after.. it was a fresh new experience.. i mean, we're running ard (yes, practically running) the whole place, trying to attend to all the guest.. it was fun, exhilarating and really got my adrenaline pumping.. it would be great if guest knew wat they wanted.. some were understanding by approaching me with the wine they wanted in their hands.. makes it so much easier to serve them.. others asked for recommendation for which i had to get kenny.. he was pretty much as stressed as i was.. lolx and he was saying, "kelly, i really dunno how am i going to survive without you. lucky you noe how to serve." LOL and dere i was saying, "you're welcome. *wide grin*"
we were really happy when it's close to closing.. yea-ness when closing.. cos it meant home-sweet-home after a nite of hard work~ =D kenny covered the front area while i was holing up in the kitchen washing dishes.. woots! hot steam from the dishwasher feels so familiar on my face.. =D apparently, *i was told by bc* i'm e only idiot who volunteers enthusiastically to help out in the kitchen during closing.. HAHA seeems lyk no one lyk washing dishes at TWC.. =p but den again, stewarding is fun, fun, fun!
both jason and kenny asked me the same qns.. *on diff days* "are you happy at work?" my reply, "yes!" haha.. jason noticed i was always happy and smiling when i came to work.. i was STILL carrying dat same facial expression when i left work.. HAHA i really love my job.. it's great, really.. not only the experience, my colleagues as well as the guests.. =) i think i will continue working after i come back from china..
it's not always abt the money.. sometimes really.. it's abt the experience.. whether it made you happy or not.. =) cheers
