[080407] oooo, ahhhhh.....

yesterday was the most sickening day since i started work at marche... so much to clean, so much to do... never have i had to do closing for 2 counters... and never have i seen everybody staying back to peel potatoes before we can go back.. yep, all the above events occured yesterday... surprisingly,the saturday crowd was quite sparse, must be the fading of the novelty of dining at marche...

2200 hrs and off i went to start peeling potatoes for this morning's brunch, raymond scared the hell out of me when he mentioned that we die die also need to peel finish 12 inserts worth of potatoes for rosti... i almost puked... so for the next 90mins, i just stood there and peeled potato after potato... meanwhile, dery was briefing kelvin, jaffery, jimmy and the raymonds on some new protocol thing... seems like some major changes to the work stations... started cleaning my station then halfway gotta clean up the paella station as well... felt so drained lah... fast fwd fast fwd... by the time the main island was finished, the cold island side and bakery were all sitting around peeling potatoes, peel peel peel... luckily, kelvin said the 7 inserts of peel potatoes enough, otherwise god knows til what time we would had to stay...

for some reason, the crew all felt very on after work... probably they felt the need to relax and chill after a hard day's work... so off they went to boat quay... all of them.. well not all, kah wah, arif, chandra and me elected to do the sensible thing - go home and 'party' instead... party in our dreams that is... ke li, azmi (malay dude at bakery), jaffery, jeffery's gf or wife, raymonds and their respective halves, ah lim, some new gal i never seen before and even auntie alice... haha... all went to drink themselves silly i reckon.. haha.. reached home at 0316 hrs... booted up the PC, before concussing in bed....

barely 6 hours later, woke up to go and YUM-CHA with bro, cousin grace and her fiance... been years since i've seen her... haha.. and she's getting married.. next year.. ah... a joyous occasion... an excuse to buy a suit from G2000 to wear.. heh... and finally, a trip back to indonesia... been years since i've been back... proceeded to J8 before heading down to the new AMK hub, it's huge and it has alot of the nicer stores as well as the good makan places... definitely a place to visit again especially with the cathay cinema opening soon... shld head down there again sometime.. hmm.. anyone up for to go kai kai? hahaha...]

hmmm... marche's cutting back on the part-timers but i'll be retained, one of the few to be retained.. but i've learnt of a distubring fact, arif who came in the same time as me is paid $7/hr... this after he complained... well, axel promised us the same pay... that was i believe to be $6.50.. i think it's time i brought this issue up... geez.. let's hope i get the pay raise too.. arghh... BTT on tuesday... and i've yet to even read one page of the book... wish me luck people...
