I woke up today with a worse throat. Downed Pi Pa Gao like nobody’s business and popped Strepsils, but it still doesn’t work :(

Time passed fast today because…. when we went up to the in-room dining department, the guy in-charge of the moon cake’s came over and wanted to borrow staff to help them pack moon cakes! So our assistant manger sent YJ, Yu Hong and I down to help them.

There was a huge room specially for customers to collect their moon cakes. They would purchase vouchers and then come over to claim their goods. The “store room” was filled from top to bottom with A LOT of cartons of moon cakes!

We were practically a factory production line.

Yu Hong would take out the moon cakes from the carton box, I would check if the moon cakes are properly placed and YJ would put the moon cakes into paper bags.

That’s how we worked from 9.30am till 12pm, and then we went for lunch. I’m so happy time passed so fast!

After lunch, the in-charge at the moon cake thing asked YJ and I to go down to the finance department to chop vouchers. We were quite excited at first because we could get away from the manual labor job.

But when we arrived there, chopping the vouchers sucked big time! There were only 2 of us chopping the vouchers and the finance department didn’t turn on their air-con!

In total YJ and I chopped like almost 3000 vouchers. HAND PAIN.

We were like MACHINES chopping, flipping the vouchers, packing the vouchers etc etc.

Imagine, we were told to chop 2 boxes and we only completed 1 box (3000 vouchers) and we were already half dead. The person at the finance department asked us to do the next box and we refused! In the end she asked us to send another 2 people down to chop the other box but we didn’t bother cuz no one wanted to go down.

Headed back to the moon cake room to continue packing more moon cakes and continued our production line until 5pm.

Oh, they also let us eat moon cakes! The most expensive one some more, we’re just so lucky!

The people there are real nice too. Very easy to talk to and crap with, even with our in-charge.

And by 5pm they let us off already!

Yu Hong, YJ and I then headed to Super Brand Mall to eat dinner because we are all so sick of the canteen food already.

We ate at PIZZA HUT! :D Each person only had to pay RMB36.

After that we headed to Lotus to buy fruits and other stuff we needed at home.

Tomorrow’s actually my off day!! But damn, I have to go to the hotel’s orientation programme :(

And the best part, IT’S IN CHINESE. I pray hard I don’t fall asleep tomorrow.
