Work started at 8am today and I’m happy!

YJ and I ate breakfast at home and I had yoghurt + pear. Yum!

I’m happy work started early because it was Ehui who asked us to report at 8am, to HIM! :D But when we reached, he wasn’t in the hotel yet. Haha. So we chatted with Tracy and went to look for Alan while waiting for him to reach.

Went up to Grand Ballroom to see how they did the set-up for Opera Night, walked around with Ehui and he said we could report to level 5 at 10.30am (:

YJ and I found a 6” Subway sandwich at the Banquet Office and it turns out to be YH’s (from yesterday). Called him and he said we could eat it! But when we went back to the Banquet Office, Tracy said it was thrown away already. We found it in the dustbin though, and picked it up to eat! :D WHAT?! It was still nicely wrapped in the plastic bag so there’s nothing wrong with picking it up from the small dustbin to eat it.

So it was 10.30am and we dragged ourselves up to level 5. We were given this thick stack of reservations to file and this time round, they made it more troublesome- we had to sort it by alphabetical order too. So, we had to first sort it according to type, then date, then alphabetical order. Super troublesome.

After sorting it out until the date, we were asked to help them send emails to ask guests about their ETA. There were 3 stacks of guests’ reservations so we took our own sweet time.

YJ and I used different computers so we didn’t waste time this time round. I had to log into the Opera System to check for the guests email and update their arrival and departure information.

While we were doing this, the department received a call from BQT office saying that they needed us there after our lunch (: [we asked Tracy to call them]

It was soon 12.30pm and down we went for our lunch. It was quite awkward though, cuz we were sitting with some people from RSVN.

After lunch, it was like we returned to BQT again. Walking around the function rooms, events concierge, BQT office. We did that until 5pm! Which means, we only went to RSVN for 2 hours (:

Also, I’m so tempted to buy iPhone! One of the BQT staff just bought one and it’s so pretty! China hasn’t launched the iPhone yet though, so it’s all fake goods (or shui huo they call- which is like the best type of imitation goods) But the thing is, it’s not cheap although it’s fake. The iPhone cost close to RMB5000.

After work, YJ and I headed to Super Brand Mall. Our aim was to go to UCOB to take photos of this coat we like and get it tailored somewhere else (so much cheaper I’m guessing). But first we went to H&M cuz they seemed to have summer sales going on.

I was so in the mood to shop, I bought 4 tops in total and the total cost was more than RMB500. Kill me. With that amount, I can buy like a hell lot more at Qi Pu Lu.

After that we went to UCOB to try on the coat and took photos of it. I don’t know when we’ll be going to the tailor to ask how much it’ll cost to make it though.

We then headed to Lotus to buy more yoghurt and fruits and walked home after that.

Stopped to have Lan Zhou Fried Rice for dinner because it’s so cheap and filling and yummy!

And our usual routine- YJ and I started watching a DVD. Today we watched “Kickin’ It Old School”.

We were supposed to get our weekends off in RSVN, but since tomorrow is Opera Night, we asked Ehui if we could be involved in it because we wanted to see the operations and all so we’re reporting to work at 2pm tmr (:

And for that, we get in-lieu off for Monday! :D
