I had to wake up at like 6.30am today because there was an extra person that needed to use the toilet.

And we managed to squeeze 5 people into a cab to work today! :D

Today’s another day of training. This time round it was about food hygiene and safety.

The class was quite small today and we didn’t get to sit right at the back.

From the start of the class at 9am until 11am I was busy “blogging”. I brought along my notebook and pen to class today because we wanted to settle our money. The speaker today was also stricter than others and because there were so little people it was quite hard to talk and make noise. We also heard the HR dept complain to our lecturer that we were quite rowdy during orientation. :/

So in order to keep awake, I started writing away. I wrote like 5 and a half pages in my notebook.

Then it was lunch time. The speaker told us that our lunch ended at 1pm.

We took our own sweet time to go to the moon cake room, find our assistant manager, chill at in-room dining and ate lunch.

When we went back at 1pm, it was actually time given us to revise what the speaker told us in the morning because at 3pm there was a TEST.

Yeah right, who would actually study? I didn’t even listen to a single thing the speaker said in the morning!

Slacked in the room and fell asleep until 15mins before the test.

There were some hardworking people who tried to study, but sadly I can’t remember anything under these circumstances.

The test was quite funny; there was no test paper- only a piece of blank white paper given to us. The speaker wrote questions on the board and we had to answer them.

Thankfully again we could write our answers in English! It was supposed to be a closed-book test, but after the first question the speaker said “don’t be so noisy, just see whatever you need and write the answers down” so everyone took out their little handbook to find answers!

In the end everyone helped everyone and we finished 20 questions in 1 hour (:

So we were dismissed from work at 4pm. We didn’t go back immediately though, we went to collect more moon cakes and then went to in-room dining to slack until 6pm.

The weather at night now is quite cooling. We walked home and went to eat dinner at some place we passed by. RMB15 for this HUGE bowl of beef noodles!

Walked back home and headed out to Jia De Li to buy 4 huge bottles of mineral water and a broom (because you can’t imagine the amount of hair 4 girls can drop in like 1 week). I also went down to Motel 168 to book a room for the 2 people that are coming to visit me tomorrow! :D :D :D

I’m gonna get like 1 week off from work. From tomorrow onwards I’ll be on off and only going back to work on Saturday!
