@ 1:19 PM
First day at work.
Met Kang Yi, Zheng Yang and his cousin at Choa Chu Kang MRT station at 3.30pm. Then we took the train to Orchard again and board the bus to the hotel. Once outside the hotel, we waited for Edwin to come who was a bit late. Then we signed in, changed our pass and quickly went over to change as we were a bit late. Went to 4th floor and entered the kitchen. The briefing was already going on. Then everything was done in a hurry. Changing the tables, arranging the chairs, setting up the plates and everything. Once ready, the people came in. The event going on was a wedding dinner. It was a 8-course dinner if I remembered clearly. Then my partner and I were rather slow in serving the people as I was still an amateur in this. First dish was the cold platter. Second was shark's fin. Third was some chicken. Then following was the prawns. Fifth up was the fish. After that was the sea cucumber and some vegetables. Following up was the noodles. Finally last dish was the dessert. After a grueling 4 hours of dinner, the people had left. Wanted to have something to drink as I did not get to take a sip during the dinner. But we were called in to debrief. Then we left the place at about 11.20pm. Changed out and went over to the bus stop, waiting for the bus to come. When we reached the MRT station, the last train available was only to Kranji. We then chose to take the train to Marsiling for me, Kang Yi and Edwin. Zheng Yang and his cousin alighted at Woodlands to see if there was still bus available. At Marsiling, me, Kang Yi and Edwin got ourselves Big Gulp and took a cab to the food court near Lot 1. We then had our so-called dinner there. Chat around and then left at about 2am.
Guess what Alvin said about Dong Na was true, she is like a second Ms Lee.
