Tough Day at Banquet
Banquet was tough.
My hands were numb, feet aching and stomach hungry....
But tough wasn't everything. The stress (.... omg). I was freaking stress there. I was stressed abt dropping my one arm length-ed tray, esp the soup items which are dam heavy, wasting all the food and ruining the occasion. One freaking tray might just weigh more than 10kg?! I see people balancing it on their shoulders, like how people carry a violin, its not as easy as it seems.... to me. lol. Freaking stressed when serving the people there! Food items are fine, but the soup items again! My hands were shaking while serving. I guessed the customers noticed, and were starring at me, ready to make their move if i dropped the plates. Oh, i had a hard time pouring dam Chinese tea! have to balance the jug on one hand, while the other hand is removing the tea cup over! So.... just don't pour tea! lol.
I nearly dropped my one arm length-ed tray with two huge POT of dessert(soup again!) Last item, my hand cannot take it anymore -.- Made it to the station in time to put/throw the tray down, lol luckily it only spilled... Kind lady then helped me do the serving, then return the huge pots, while i do the easy girls job of scoping the soup! haha. Reached home at 1plus ? and i missed dinner. the feeling of starring at sumptuous food with empty stomach! rawr
As beautiful as how dinner at a hotel always seem, behind the scene was... chaotic. The messy and dirty kitchen, people walking around with those huge trays, small trays filled with cups that might topple at the slightest nudge! Too stressful for me... I think i better rest this week, get over it soon and try again next week. lol. Get myself prepared...
