its saturday yet again..
time is flying like there's no tomorrow..
but here's the irony,
tomorrow is here before you know it. =)

got into trouble at work yesterday...
so here's the story.
event = thermal ceramics asia.
menu = 5 course set dinner with 3 main course chocies.
they had the chicken option added in last week,
so i amended the menu and gave one to chef.
but, i forgot the one on the events board..

in the morning i msged chef with the preorders of main course.
he called and ask,
"since when did your menu include chicken?"
you didnt give me the amended menu,
so no chicken.

fuck. that was it.
never give a chef a new menu and leave it be.
make sure he puts in the the file.
remind him every single day so he wont forget.
so there was no chicken.
there were only 4 portions left for ala carte and he refuses to give it to my event.
so what if he did?
there were only 4, i needed 11 portions.

reaaall deeeep shiiit.

so while i was on the verge of breaking down from getting shouted at while tryin to keep my cool...
i started calling the other outlets
cos chef just simply refused to help.
he said the way i asked wasnt the way to request help from a chef.
that he had enough of my f*ckung attitude.
hello?
what attitude?
i ask you nicely to help me resolve a problem rather than make it worse and you refuse to help and you say i have an attitude?
if i have an attitude,
this is it:- i will not cry over spilt milk and i'll find ways and means to resolve it with or without your help.

he asked me to try it with fabian and see what i get, well, think i'm afraid?
no.
i tried it and what did i get?
i got a sensible person asking me,
"what is the main course? how many pax? how many portions?"
so you think i was gonna get a scolding?
people won't get a scolding for admitting what they slipped on..
i have such a kind boss that he even goes down to holland village and picks up the 11 portions of chicken for me.
not a single tinge of anger.
that's what i call working smart.

why blow up a problem instead of solving it?
exploding instantly is always more destructive.
that's a very good lesson i learnt from that one small mistake.

anyway, the whole event went well..
the way to keep your guests happy is by talking to them.
=)

well, honestly, something's been bothering me quite abit.
they say the other events executives before me all had some standard in the looks department,
im not saying i do,
but the chefs always think im just a pretty vase put there to be admired.
what the hell..
i do everything,
i serve drinks, i serve food, i clear plates and cutlery,
i even carry oval trays of food and run up stairs in heels.
am i really an airhead?
i should start a poll... =(

dis is like the longest entry every since god knows when..
but at least its content is substantial..
so its time to digress..

im going out with my darling in the afternoon..
i wonder where we're heading today..
i have a feelin its far east..
just an inkling.. =)

imuuuuu..

anyway!! more photos..
we were cam-whoring at work...
