It was busy busy during the weekend.
Total Madness.
Non-stop check-ins, enquiries, complaints.
Seem to be answering the same question over and over again, "how much is the room rate ar?"
I did met some troublesome guests, irritating ones that I feel like slapping them. Haha.
But I didn't.
And I got my uniform already. Got it on the day of official opening.
Do you know how I retrieve my uniform for changing when I'm working?
The system is automatic k. No need for humans just a scan of the ID card and the uniform belt will spin spin spin and stop where my uniform is located. Haha.
Had straight morning shifts, waking up at 0445 heading to work, change and eat breakfast.
It's super routine man. Haha.
Seriously, the time spent with Johnson is little man.
It's like only twice a week?
But we took the bus back from Harbourfront to Tampines yesterday. And I guess we will not take it anymore, because it took 1hr 45mins. And the stretch when it passes by Little India is scary.
I guess my entries are getting boring because what I encounter now is only work, eat, sleep.
Which is very true.
Oh ya. One more thing.
I've been to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS SINGAPORE.
Like finally. But it was just a walk around the place. Haha
9:52 PM
Finished 2 night shifts yesterday.
It's tiring.
Reached home in the morning and I can sleep all the to the evening & fall asleep real fast at night.
But I quite like night shifts though it's boring.
I like the freedom during night shifts, even if it's freezing cold & I'm feeling hungry.
Plus, there is extra allowance for night shift.
Had a filling dinner yesterday.
Missed half of the cousins' outing as I was catching up on my shift.
But the dinner was good. Especially the desserts. Haha.
Super chocolate-ty.
It's back to work again tomorrow, with a HUGE number of departures. Haha.
And I'm waiting for Johnson to be back!!!!!!
5:29 PM
2 more hours before I knock off.
WAAAAAAA.
My supervisor is sleeping in the office and my DM is MIA. Heh.
I think my dad doesn't like me to work in my current job.
That was what I felt from yesterday evening.
Anyway, we shall see how it goes.
In addition, I was being praised at work!!!
Haha. Good right???
But, I want to go home.
It's bored!!!! I have nothing to do already.
In conclusion, this is just to help me spend my time.

In the past two weeks, I have seen 3 lion dances, President Nathan & MM Lee.
Yes, 3 LION DANCES!!!!
I have never seen 3 in such a short time.
I waved to MM Lee when he was in the hotel. Haha.
Even though its only the preview stage at the current moment, there are still many guests staying in the hotel.
I did my first night shift last night. Another one later tonight.
I kind of quite like night shift because there is little guest around in the lobby area.
But time passes rather fast last night, probably because there were quite a number of things to do.
The hotel officially opens next week.
I wonder how will it turn out to be.
So far work is fine.
Though there are still questions popping up my mind occasionally, I feel that I have progressed well doing arrivals, departures and closing. Haha.
Anyway, I'm going to take a short nap before heading out to work later.

It's 0532 in the morning now.
Yes. I have been awake since 0900 till now.
Close to 24hrs awake. Haha. But I feel like blogging now. So, oh well.
Been working for the week with my off days on the weekends.
All I can say is that it's SUPER SUPER busy today, or rather on Friday.
80 arrivals may seem little to others, but for me, checking in them is challenging especially when the guests just keep coming in.
It was so busy that money was going in and out not only from myself, but others using my cash float. I didn't even went for my dinner because they are so many things to update into the system and also my sister is checking-in under my account. Haha.
However, I did get the flow of it.
Everything wasn't perfect.
It was worse when my accounts didn't balance because I didn't manage to take note of the cash flow.
Seriously, I felt lost. At the verge of breaking down, but I did not. =)
Thankfully, with help of my other superiors they were all resolved.
All this led to my official knock-off time at 2300 till 0130.
Seriously, everyone was so busy and trying to rectify the problem took this long.
Supper was next with the FOM, AFOM, DM, GSE.
Papa and mama came to pick me up because it's late and we left at like 0415. Haha.
Both of us are busy with work. I can never meet Johnson as much as I did.
I've met him like once in this week can.
But it's ok, I'm off for the next few days. Haha.
I suppose it will just get busier and busier after the official opening.
However, I will learn much more, like what Brian said.
Till then, it's time to sleep.
