tiring week...

I had no school for the whole of this week 'cause Grand Hyatt Hotel employed us to work for them at their customer's exhibition stands. They catered food and drinks to huge companies like airbus, general electric, honeywell, raytheon, eads and etc. I, with a few other classmates, were initially posted to this fine dining restaurant at the hotel 'cause they THOUGHT they had enough part-timers. Yeah and i was informed at the very last minute that they needed more staffs. I was like daaaamn...i wont be able to experience how it is like to work in a fine dining restaurant and i WILL have to wake up at 5 to report at 630. WTH. Thank God i was not late but i struggled to wake up at 5! Anyway, i was assigned to general electric's stand. First day was really boring..we were paid to do nothing. I hated the time when we had to wait for the freaking cisco police to do their bomb sweep, everyone had to evacuate the halls and wait for 4 bloody hours. Cant believe we were still getting paid. Hah. Second and third day was really tiring..there were really so many exhibitors visiting our stand and we were serving ppl non-stop. Oh! I heard that General Electric clinched a 3 BILLION dollars deal with Air India on the second day of the exhibition. OMG...3 BILLION. Thats only one of the deals. They are so darn rich. Fourth and last day of work was really relaxed, i was getting paid practically to do nothing. I even took a short nap behind the bar counter. hurhur. Yeap...ok here comes the HIGHLIGHT of the asian aerospace, each and everyone of us who were assigned to General Electric got tipped from the Manager of G.E $60 bucks a day...which means i got a $300 tip! How cool is that!? I think i'll have more than enough to spend in melb IF my dad allows me to. hurhurhur. I was shocked to see 100 dollar notes in the envelope given to us. All of us were laughing our heads off...we jus couldnt believe that we were tipped so much at that moment. Roflolmao! What a blessing from God. So it was all worth it...waking up early and standing for 8 hrs. Hahahaha! Alright...i just came back from a mid-night show with my parents and i'm freaking exhausted. gd night and god bless.
