Neckaches and Backaches...

So I've worked 2 shifts. One for 4.5 hours and another for just 3 hours. So far so good except the fact that I haven't stood for so long since I last worked at that hotel back in Malaysia. I actually have a sore neck and back.

Anyway, I worked at a bar at the footy match last Friday. It was interesting. Job description include pouring and selling beers, spirits and lucky me I was also allocated to make coffee that night..LOL and I really pity those customers who purchased coffees/hot chocolates that night. Hehehe...I think my froth for the coffees were really really crap. Plus I served cold coffee (cold milk with a shot of expresso) twice that night. The 2 old man was giving me the WTF espression. Hehehe...too bad cos the supervisor just assumed that I was an expert in coffee although I have to admit that that was only my third time making coffees in my entire life. Once in the bar school and once in Daniel's place.

By the end of the night though, the coffees were getting much better cos practice makes perfect right. I think I made like 50 cups of cappucinos, flat whites and lattes and another 30 cups of hot choc. I swear no one taught me how to make hot chocolates so I just came up with my own recipe. Hehehe...Lots and lots of self made choc syrup, hot frothed milk and heaps of cocoa powder to garnish. Hehehe...Guess it wasn't too bad as I didn't made any of the little kids cry and spit out their hot chocs.

Well the next 3 weeks will be hell I suppose. I have 9 hour shifts at the Melbourne Convention Centre. Basically Amway China is having a huge conference in Melbourne. Yeah you heard it right...Amway CHINA! Omg..I can so imagine those ppl (call me a hypocrite! hehehe)! And there are going to be 1800 of them which means 180 tables of them. Hehehe...Good luck to the 200 staffs that we have! So basically I'll be waitering at this event for the next 3 weeks. Not everyday of course...about 3 times a week! Just think about the money...Money Money Money!

So far I think I would prefer the bar job at Telstra Dome. Better pay, less stress and definitely much more fun. Well...better than sitting at home Facebooking every freaking day!
