Chinatown Light-Up

i spent the whole day resting at home today~! a fantastic feeling, coz i slept from last nite 1.30am till today 2pm then slept again from 6pm till 8pm... a total of 14hrs! i'm feeling so refreshed~ =)

so there, nothing much to write abt today... BUT yesterday was interesting...

i was working at X-Square in the afternn and there was a Halo 2 gaming competition held by Game Axis pple. And Benjamin was caught by surprise coz he din know of the event till Game Axis pple walked in at 11am~ and i'm starting work at 12pm, so he had to handle all the competitors and the other customers ALL ALONE till i arrived~ POOR BENJAMIN!

And so when i arrived, he was in a bad bad mood~ and quite angry with our centre manager coz we feel tat there is a certain level of biasness when planning schedule. His gf always seems to be getting more working hours and when we request for it, we'll be told, company is trying to save cost, so he can't schedule us MORE... sigh~ (-_-")

we were so busy tat we din had lunch till 3pm and we have to asked a regular customer who's on (quite) familiar terms with Ben to buy food for us~ it's such a pathetic situation coz of the schedule...

And then i rushed off once i knocked off at 5pm coz i had another job at Chinatown and the reporting time is 5.30pm. i had to put on full makeup and travel down to Chinatown in 30min... quite a mad rush~

was working as brand ambassador for Tiger beer for the official light-up ceremony at Chinatown! and tat's the job where i have to be in my tailor-made cheongsum. i was serving the VIP table and had the chance to serve PM Lee Hsien Loong. i was so stressed up... quite an experience! ;P

The food reception was at the overhead bridge connecting Lucky Chinatown and People's Park Complex and the performance was at a stage setup below the bridge.

started work at 6pm, but the reception was at 8.30pm~ so we sorta slack and do nothing before the food reception. we were basically juz sitting ard and watching performance while waiting...

the firecrackers light-up was so exciting and the fireworks!! we had the BEST view! and we dun have to be crush by the crowd below~ with a light breeze and performance is right in front of us. had the magical feeling~ =D

another thing worth mentioning~ PM Lee's bodyguards were delicious... LoL! alright, i'm boy-crazy~ i know... there's abt 8 of them, all have good body, height and looks. alright, maybe not all of them have looks, but definitely the others... they look so imposing with their towering heights and physique! so charming~ *droolz*

but i dun have time to look tat much while i was working, coz i had to concentrate not to spill beer on the V.VIPs... after the reception, we were allowed to take a break and eat! there's local laksa, chendol, fruit platter, small pastries and BAH KWA! the bah kwa is damn nice!! free flow~ aww...like royal treatment~ haha... had our fill and then walk back to the Tiger booth at the Kreta Ayer Square.

now i have a craving for bah kwa~! esp. those done using bacon~ fatty but SO NICE!

Knocked off at 11pm and headed home, coz i was so so tired... was surprised to receive a msg from Weifun asking me to go for a drink~ coz they usually dun contact me during weekends (and sometimes i wonder why?) But i was too tired to join them, coz of my aching feet...

I had a great time last nite!! =)
