Working Day in Banquet
I went to work today. It is only one day job. Basically, i don't really have the chance and time to work in this holiday because i've already spent the first 2 weeks of my holiday for preparing The Japanese-Language Proficiency Test while i only have 4 weeks holidays in total.
I worked in banquet at one of the hotel in Penang. Actually, i was following my sister, Shan, to work there as she has been working there for quite a period of time and i wish to figure out what is actually happens out there. Moreover, it was Hari Raya Haji. So, the pay could be higher (Obviously, not so higher as the normal day rate is RM4/hour and it's only RM5/hour on that day). It's ok. I just want to gain some experience.
  I worked started from 3pm to 11pm. When we reach there, at fist, the things that we need to do is to assemble, waiting for to be assigned for tasks. As this is the first time that i involved in the line of F & B, the manager just assigned me with the more easier task, which is serving the guests by filling/refilling the beverage into guests cups/glasses. By the way, the event tonight would be a Chinese Style wedding ceremony. The task that i was being assined to seems easy. But guess what? It's not as easy as you could imagine. I have to walk around, holding the heavy jugs or beers and soft drinks and teapots that full with hot tea, keep refilling into the cups and glasses. Different types of guests might request differently as they had different wants and needs. Of course, my job is easier as compare to my sister. She had been assigned to serve all the dishes to the guests, doing clearing and all that kind of stuff. It's really not easy. I was really tiring. My muscles cramps for almost 2 or 3 days. However, even though it is quite a tough job, i think that it is good as i can get to learn experince from it.
