It’s been quite some time starting work at 9am already; and this means that I’d be able to hear the songs the kindergarten plays every morning again (and I watched them doing morning exercises too).

We chose not to eat breakfast at the hotel today (damn sick of the food already) and we spent the whole morning in the office doing data entry for changes in reservations.

After all the overdue data entry we helped them clear, there were more sheets of papers for us to file. This time round, Angeline taught us how to file the faxes, emails and handwritten reservations.

Oh god, this spelt hell because it was so hard filing those types of reservations! We first had to separate it into months, then dates, then alphabetical order according to the company name. AND NOT ALL INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND ON THE PAPER. It’s here, there, everywhere so we took quite some time finding the information.

And when there wasn’t information regarding the booking dates, we had to log in to Opera to check.

YJ and I chose to take our lunch at 12.30pm but only left at around 12.45pm. Since Ehui, Cherry and a lot of BQT people were all off today, there was no point going to find them and hang out at the hotel so we decided to head to Super Brand Mall to eat our lunch.

Yeah, we were quite sick of canteen food so that was another reason for going out. When we were going out for lunch, some of the staff initiated to go together, but too bad YJ and I already decided on going out and not touching canteen food.

And when we were walking back to the hotel after lunch, we met Tracy! She was off today and was going to meet Cherry to go to Qi Pu Lu for shopping!

Headed back to Reservations Office and did more filing of those irritating fax/email/hand written reservations.

After clearing all the papers, we went to find Nancy cuz she wanted to speak to us. She told us what she has planned for us to do in the coming weeks. Most prolly we’re gonna be ‘shopers’ and fish out room rates for other hotels and also do data entry of call logs (which is also more than 1 month overdue).

Time passed quite fast and by 5pm we had nothing to do already so we started slacking. Surfed the net and replied emails to Mrs Tan. Played some games and then decided to go to GV’s website to check out the latest movies!

And then we realized that we’ve already watched some ‘coming soon’ movies such as Bratz, Good Luck Chuck. Those 2 are really nice and you can spend like SGD8 to watch it while I paid RMB4 for each DVD here (and it’s shared between 4 people?!) :D

Waited for 6pm and we ended work!! :D :D

Went to the staff canteen for dinner with Joanne and then headed to Lotus to do some grocery shopping! <3

Bought vinegar, yoghurt, cheese spread, fruits, biscuits etc etc (it was so heavy) but we still decided to walk home!!

And we didn’t head home straight. Before we went upstairs, we saw that the DVD place was open opposite our house so we went there first. In the end, YJ and I bought 10 DVDs! I know, we’re a bit crazy.

Watched “Men in White” today, it’s a Singapore/Malaysian production. I felt so “Singapore” when watching it because of the language and places and actors in it. I saw places like Bukit Merah (the stage I always used to walk past when going to Z’s office) and Raffles City, Esplanade Walk etc. The movie was quite funny but the ending sucked.

I think YJ and I will watch 1 DVD every night to pass time. Oh well, its dirt cheap!

KC: Look the part? Funny ah. They sent us there because that dept was short of staff.
