Working at RWS

12:58:00 AM

My hand still smells like vinegar!

And I worked continuously from November to December (Holyfuck! Kidding~ 31Nov-1Dec) at Resorts World Sentosa.

Shall use this timeline method since there's too many things to say.

14 00: Reached Harbourfront Station.

14 10: Victoria reached. That Ah Girl dip-dyed her hair, so prettyyyy! Changed to working shoes only then cos wearing flats with socks is so weird!

14 20: Didn't know where to meet. Called agency to check. Call was referred to at least 5 different ppl and had to explain the same situation > 5times omg!

14 35: Found the group of ppl we're supposed to meet. They were at The Cafe Lobby. Hanged around, waiting for the rest.

14.50: Told to follow a guy, he leads the way (Let's call him Dragon cos he looks like one. In a good way) Boarded the charter bus. Dk why so full! Shouldn't it be specially catered to working staff, us? How come got random old people/visitors one? Got to stand :( Overheard abit of their conversations. Okay, they are working staff too :O OMG we're working with them?!

15 00+: Reached the place. People who reached there earlier were all wearing the same uniform! Don't tell me we're doing banquet walao! So that's the last minute event???

Snaking long queue at registration. Why everyone seems to know everyone else?! Except for us :( NVM!!! No one said must bring IC, so we brought EZ-link. Student Pass also can verify what? Kena queried for that :{

15 00+ again: Time to collect uniform! OMG their wardrobe factory of uniforms is GIGANTIC!!! Like supplying soldiers with armour suits to go for war! Damn neat! 
Need identification pass again! Dont have, cos we alr gave them our EZ-link at the Registration counter right. Used my SAFRA card instead hehehe! They scanned the uniform's barcode to our NRIC, cool~
Changed and all. Bun up hair. WOOOO! Looking like a staff now ^^

Came out. Signed attendance. Was suddenly told that we need a hairnet. Y NO ONE TELL US EARLIER?! $1.50/hair net. Fineeee :{ OOPS! They ran out of hairnets!! YAYYY no need buy! Victoria's pretty dip-dye gotta be sprayed back to black hahaha!

Told to follow a staff there to waiting room. So much confusion!  Wrong level, wrong room. In the end, reached there at.... 15 35. 

15 40: A bunch of ppl were alr there. Me to Victoria "Now what time? Are we late??" 
One girl who was with us, "Yes, we are very late" :O Oh dayummm. Sat in the waiting room doing NOTHING! Take pictures and spot ECs HAHAHA! 
.
.
.
17 00: They welcome whoever wants to go home. You'll get paid for your 2 hours sleeping/staring into empty space/playing games/doing nothing. 

17 30: STILL DOING NOTHING! Do we get paid for wasting our time? Hahaha! Super hungry! Went out to walkwalk and see whether there's food to kope or not. Kidding X) Went toilet. 



When we went back, we were organised to our respective agencies. Hey, all the ECs are from TCC too  :) ! Names called, take attendance again. I think they have too many staff. SO, they are cutting 13 staff from doing the banquet. Okay, me and Victoria are called out la. Quite scared at first cos the 5 girls called out were supposedly sent home omg. BUT HEY, the curly hair nice woman transferred us to a French Restaurant instead :D ! YAYYY! 

There comes another rebonded hair, bitchy woman wearing a dress who shouted in front of us, " No, I want them to go home!" 

Nice curly hair woman defended us, "No but I asked them if they want to go home or not and they said no. So I promised to transfer them already!" 

Nice guy wearing a white long-sleeved shirt helped us too! Thank goodness! "Ahh I put them under my charge hor." 

Bitchy woman never reply.

18 00: Nice white shirt guy don't care her and led us to the uniform area. No more common RWS uniform. Changed to another black long-sleeved top. 

18 15: To the cafeteria! FOODDDD! Finally! A very simple meal but delicious! I only liked the maggi actl. Wanted a second serving buttttt scared no time boooo! 


Went to where nice white shirt guy was seating. There was a group of Malays beside us. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a racist OKAY! They were quite loud, as in talking and having loud. I know they are close friends but...overly touchy omg! Still, they are very nice because I almost fell off the chair and one girl kind of like wanted to catch me. But I didn't fall of course :)

19 00: Reached the French restaurant, L'atelier de joel robuchon. Sounds posh? Totally is! Gosh!

Nice white shirt guy's friend showed us around, told us what to do.
Spray vinegar, clean the plate. So simple :D  
Occasionally there's pastry dishes to be served. Hear the bell, go to counter and collect the dish :)

19 10: Helped to fold napkins cos there's nothing else to do. SO SLACKKK! 
There's a China woman there who taught us how to fold. The staff call her mama mia. So cute!!! She's really gentle and nice and all~ Kind of changed my impression of China people for the better :) 



Me to mama mia, "What time does the restaurant usually become more crowded?" 
Cos there was superrr nothing to do la. No kick ;)

19 20: Another angmoh came to ask how we were doing and all. He introduced himself as Clemór and he pronounces Victoria's name as Vìk-tor-ree-ah. I feel like I'm in France alr! Clemór~~~ Viktoreeah~~~


"So have you guys worked here before??"
"Uhhhh not in Resorts World but... we have worked before :)"
"Oh in some other hotels??"
"Uh no. In... Manhatten Fish Market" :)
"Manhatten?? In America? :O"
"No no! Manhatten Fish Market! There are outlets in Singapore!"
"It's uhh... fish market? You guys worked in the fish market?"
"HAHAHA! NOOO! It's not a fish market!!! It's a restaurant!"
"Uhhh don't know. Never been there~" 

Clemór brought us around and told us what to do again! But he showed us the coffee machine.
"Don't need to work work work then :( . Ahhhh~ can take break and then drink coffee~ :) "

Me and Vict went to make coffee right after.

Clemór came. "Ohya and if you want to take break, don't take here. Later big boss see~, he don't like."
Opened back door, showed us the benches and said we can sit there and drink finish first then go in. 


"Oh and I... *pulled out a few cards* give you my pass :) So later you finish alr, you can TEEE *pretends to scan the card at sensor* and open :)" 

*wink* ;) 

Alright, so he's name is Clement. Not Clemór lols. French way of pronouncing I guess :)
He looks wayyyyy much better in reality. Photo looks so toot O_O

OFFICIALLY, the nicest-est-est boss ever omg! (not because of the wink la okayyy)

19 45: Plates started to trickle in. All shapes and sizes. Still manageable.
Seems like it's angmoh/French culture to ask "How are you doing?" as an intro. 

20 00: Clemór showed us how to make a Bread Basket ^^ 


So that's the bread toasting machine. 
Quite hot! Can't hold it for too long.
4 types of bread per customer. 
Wanted to take picture of the bread basket but no time to. Made 3 baskets. I think we were quite slow cos we didn't get to do anymore of those. 

20 30: Hey one hour pass alr! Still got 5 more hours to go!
Sang songs while working. Taylor Swift's You're Not Sorry is stuck in my head. So I kept' singing the same part lols. Sub-conciously!

20 40: Peeked into the kitchen and saw Chef Antonio making a sculpture of a chocolate Santa Claus! Thought it was a dwarf at first :}




21 00: Now and then, Clemór would pop by to see how we were doing. 

21 10: Vict started hearing the bell when there wasn't any! Hear too much until it keeps ringing in her head alr laaaa :}

21 30: MORE PLATES AND BOWLS! Suddenly, one whole CHUNK of cutlery poured in. Starting to get bored. What Vict so much energy one?!

21 40: Brought in the pastry tray to the counter. Caught glimpses of what's happening in the restaurant. The staff actl has to entertain the guests. Talk to them, tell them stories~
"Thank you, thank you very much" Clement is really appreciative! 

22 00: Today is the day where the sun sets in the EAST! 
Walao. I've never touched more than 50 dishes in my entire life (A lil exaggarated) and tonight, we've polished like 800 dishes/saucers/bowls, 100+ mini cups, tons of cutlery! MAMAMIAAAA



Harlo! All hand-polished one okay! So if you want to eat from the utensils polished by us, go dine at L'atelier today ;)

22 10: "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger~" Legs are gonna die soon!

22 30: AHHH forget about being stronger, I'm dead alr! Wanna seat so badly! Can take breaks but if I go means Vict got to do more work! :(

23 10: Alright later if we get desserts, all these shall be overwritten X) Vict, "Yes yes! Let's not get our hopes up first" 

23 30: Clement told us finish this then can go alr."Last push alright?"  But the last push never seems to end :(  Omg why so many people still eating desserts at this hour?! Get fat how? Kidding~ =)

23 40: A Hiro-lookalike came to gave us eggs! Crack the tip and told us to suck it up from the hole. The eggs look raw!!! "Harh?? You're kidding right?" Turns out they are soft--boiled eggs. I FEEL LIKE A MINI DINOSAUR, sucking up eggs like that hahaha! Slurp the whole egg yolk up! 
Looked up when I was slurping. Eyes started watering! Idk why, maybe cos the aircon blew into them.  

Clement seemed quite scared cos it looks like I was crying :b "Alright you see that? Ya, you just walk straight all the way, and there's the toilet"

Eyes hurt like shit :o
Washed face, re-tie hair at toilet.
.
.
.
Came out anddddd.... WHERE TO WALK?! SHIT! Idk where I came from omg. A staff asking for directions seems ridiculous. Forget it, anyhow walk heh~

24 00: FINALLY FOUND MY WAY BACK! 

24 40: Were told we can go back alr. But since everyone leaving at 1am. Then just stay and go home tgt later. Arranged cutlery within cutlery within counter in restaurant. So specific! E.g. 26 dessert spoons. 26, what an odd number.

01 00: BANG GANG! Mama mia asked us if we wanted desserts! DESSERTS <3<3<3!!! 


Sourced picture of samples of pies/cakes from Google.

Took the whole chunk of chocolate pie (4th from left) my oh my~ 

Bread counter guy "Hey why no leave the chocolate one for me? The chocolate one's the best :(" 
Whoops. 

Asked him how much one costs. Hehe! 5 small pieces for $25. AHHH! 
And I got a big chunk ;)

They told us bus leaving at 1.15am. Next bus, 2am. Holyfuck! No wayyy

Wanted to take the berry pie/ cheesecake but the slices are too big! Later look very greedy LOLS! Managed to take a small macaroon instead!



Got this from Google too but I took the yellow one. Heh~ I LOVE MACAROONS OMG!

Ran and rushed like crazy. Haven't returned uniform, take bag, collect EZlink card yet. Don't even know where the hell is the bag cage! 

01 10: Me and Vict anyhow run and landed back near the holding room. LUCKILY we bumped into Dragon!!! We are safe! He directed us to the bag cage, said bye and left first. 

Took bag alr, BUT DK HOW TO GET BACK OUT TO THE BUS AREA!!! AHHHH! 
Bumped into the Malays we saw earlier in the caf! They wanted to follow us out but we also dk how to. Lucky one of them found the way!! 


"Hey why you all rushing?? Slowly slowly walk la~""Cannot!!! Bus leave at 1.15, next bus at 2am!""HARH?! 1.15?!" *checks watch* "Ah~ Now 1.15 alr, cannot make it one la! Never mind, late together la~" 

HAHAHA! 

Ran until one side of my flats dropped out HAHAH! Plopped down laughing! Vict kept running wts! Unfortunately they are not made of glass, so I can't be Cinderella. Okay idk am I talking about. 

The buses were still there. Thank goodness.

*fast forward*

Got back card, Boarded van. My area's van only 2 other ppl inside! Woohoo! Can reach home faster! One of them was the other angmoh staff from L'atelier omg!

Uncle said need address card then can take chartered transport. TCC never give/tell me anything please. But too bad, I'm alr in the van, he can only drive me home. If not just abandon me at the roadside meh? :{ Or even worse, bring me to where he park his van. HAHAH!

02 15: Reached home!


Here are some of the pastries that I only can stare at when I brought them to the counter.
Pastry pictures all found from Google. No time to take pictures of them :o Got to be fast in delivery chopchop ~



Pardon the lousy English. Too tired to care about being proper~
