Trust me, it’s not gonna be the most exciting day yet, but it was indeed one of the most memorable day, in my working life. Imagine it started with a huge embarrassment in the middle of morning briefing. I mistook a hotel tour from 06 Sep to 02 Sep, which was humiliating for sure!!! And worst of all, Ms Courtenay was there, I must have brought her down down down…
Well the rest of the day involved with all sorts of running. Nothing was exciting enough to heat up the day, until lunch time. Guess what, I was about to leave when I caught him at the line waiting for his food. Sometimes I really think it does tons of good just to lay back a bit here and there. At least it gave me opportunities to get what was least expected! He was cute, as ever. But hei, did I just receive a glance from him. Well, I couldn’t tell, but I felt something unusual in his smile, it’s brighter than usual, much much brighter and bigger. I didn’t pay that much attention. Things only heated up when I went down to pastry kitchen. Hollywood, believe or not, I was fully trapped in the goddamn scam of the pastry team. I should have got the hint when the team leader asked me to fill in the date of delivery of the cake. She had never asked me to do so!!! Where the haze could I get a pen. Oh yeah, another guy told me the source, which was a pen held conveniently on his arm!!!! Damn, and still I didn’t quite get what was going on. So the story went on, I wrote down the date, returned the pen. And that was when it reached climax!!! The whole pastry refused to take it, they kinda babeled altogether at the same time like: She’s gonna put it below her pillow and dream about him, or she’s gonna hold it tight day and night, or stuff like that. Man, I was in deep shit!!! I couldn’t find a way to help myself but standing there, watching my face turning into ketchup color. I was insisting to return the pen when somebody commented:” Need his phone number, he could give you!!!” Gosh, it’s like a whole world was laughing in my face!! And all I gotta do is to dig a whole and jump down, sitting there like forever!!!!
I didn’t quite remember the exit part. Like I ran away as fast as possible or something like that. Well, who cares anymore. I knew it!! I should have realized it the moment everything just started and could have reacted differently, instead of acting like an airhead, blushing red bean!! I could have just turned around after that mean joke, and casually said something like: “what, really, I can take this pen? That handsome guy must be really lucky today to have his pen belongs to this pretty girl” Oh never mind, what bugs me was the entire kitchen already knew my tip top secret, how should I face them the next time? Part of me wanna get his phone number, the other part argued that why must I take the first move? It’s so confusing, it’s so hard, I hate it most when things turned out this complicated!!!Ashhh
Later in the afternoon, there was Weekly Sales meeting followed up. Okay, now this was where the steam coming from. We were reviewing out T&Cs regarding event setups in our ballroom: How to prevent damage and communication methods among related departments in order to protect our properties and client’s interests. Some elaborate setups with huge backdrops like today’s Hennessy dinner could cost us greatly in terms of our in house interior as well as everybody’s general safety, since they covered the exit doors. Worst yet, there was also a concern about tearing down timing whether it’d be enough before the next morning’s meeting from another big group. So we kinda had a very constructive discussion with Director of F&B – Phillip and F&B Manager too. There were lots of questions and difficulty raised from the Events Sales team, like how we are going to explain to clients about all of these in house rules and regulations, how to ask them for compensation should there is a case arising. We were also introduced to the Client Event organized this 26 Sep to introduce potential clients with the sales department’s new members coming soon. The entire 2-hour-meeting was a real debate on fire. Never before had I seen so much statements and diverse points of view like such!! Really worth learning and understanding. Furthermore, Courtenay also informed us about the upcoming Smartselling 1 for us – all newcomers. So exciting, I cant wait for it!!!!
So end of the day, I was completely exhausted from overwhelming ups and downs of my emotional scales in all aspects of work life balance! But a jelly moon cake lying beautifully inside the kitchen was a nice touch to end the day. I was so eager to try it, just to realized it’s actually not as such a big deal as I thought. Perhaps my expectation was too high, or the cake just simply didn’t make any grade at all. Whatever, I’m still grateful to my 6th auntie-in-law, she’s just awesome in every way, so that my life could be better in some way or another~~
PS: Come to think about it now, the kind of feeling I had when I was tricked by the kitchen team, was rather like when I first met you. The similar blush, butterflies in stomach, and skipping a heart beat. And yeah, it happened at the kitchen too, to a kitchen member too. Why must it be so, dear? Like destiny or what, I didn’t mean to cheat on you or anything. Sometimes my minds just couldn’t keep my heart from following what it wants to do….
