A Nocturnal Reverie

here's a better understanding of what i do at the banquet (A ceremonial dinner honoring a particular guest or occasion,mainly wedding events). Arrive at the hotel early to have some really nice food aftr getting changed, & make some more new friends. :) aftr which,report work at 530pm. help out to fold napkins,the ones uncivilised ppl throw on the floor instead of making full use out of it. check the table settings,n check again. report to the black jackets (the upper hands) again and together,the part-timers will be briefed for the night event. then we will rehearse once on the food presentation. (a.k.a the cold plate,first dish). this plate is one of the heaviest btw. done with that,we are assigned to tables we will be serving for throughout the night. prepare the side station for putting new utensils for replenishments,water jars & so on. of course,filling + refilling up the water jars (3 soft drinks,2 chi tea,1 ice water,1 warm water) and taking out the new plates from the kitchen & so on is our job too. so in between the event,if someone request red wine or beers,stouts or other hard liqours,we must go to the bar counter and get it (provided the main guest bought & brought it). on the other hand,we must change the plates n replenish the new ones for the table we in-charge aftr each main dish.. also,be alert when the next main dish is ready to be served. repeat this sort of process for eight to nine times,and those ppl better start moving off.(staffs who wont be doing overtime leave with them). there,we (stay-back staff) will start clearing the tables,the napkins,the seat cover,the table cloth and set new ones,including table settings. only around 10 to 15 ppl will stay-back and do for the whole ballroom. this will all end sweetly at 2am. then,we will all eat like some hungry ghosts and wait for our cabs to take us home......
home sweet home at 4am.
by the way if one is unlucky,he/she will get to serve 3 tables at once during the event with some blur sotongs who doesnt do anything. i was the unlucky one.

*blink,sch starts tml & im not feeling it. new environment,new teachers,new toilets,new people. lets hope i can adapt to it fast. papa,mama,trust me that i wil get the results which will make u all proud.
