It's also where I did all the fun stuff, which as Weis reminded me today, I will probably never get to do again!
Gomi's Farewell and my Zeta Bar stint for Ladies' Night. I forgot to take photo of the time i was in the regular Zeta uniform! This was really fun... got to learn to pour draft beer, use the coke/sprite/water hose, salt martini glass edges on the salt stamp pad, etc! Barely scratched the surface though, wish I'd time to learn more! 
The long long week of breakfast duty at our coffeehouse. Not easy, but I enjoyed it. Talked to a lot of guests here and had regulars who I would talk to repeatedly every day! 
We interrupt for a commercial break! this was my geek get up for my first day in Finance! unfortunately my Dir of Finance made me take off the specs.... cos he cldn't stop laughing every time he looked at me! bah.
our chinese restaurant where i had the most extensive training... managing private dinners, serving with all the right gear and the right sequence, taking orders and recommending dishes without the menu, carving peking duck (i still can't tho!), dropping dim sum on guests, etc etc.
oops yucky phone image but i actually liked this uniform best, though not on me.
i liked our cafe uniform too but actually i never wore it in the end cos they didn't have enough caps and i couldn't go out in an incomplete uniform!
a lot of people like this one, but honestly it's really hot and uncomfortable and I never quite got used to always having the mic and ear piece on me...
And although I moved around a lot, I did make some pretty good friends!
Although ironically, a lot of them are people that I didn't actually work with! Most of these photos were taken at work so I wasn't sure if I should facebook them so they're here instead.
After work party - Chin & I popped down to catch Zeta Bar's 5th B'day party and the launch of the new band. The theme was Black and Gold... fortunately almost all my work clothes are black anyway! haha
with Farah and Kay in front of all of Kay's handiwork...
Dalin! Really... his name is Dalin! Room Service had some of the NICEST people and I was always walking past Room Service. Seeing Dalin or Adi would always cheer me up cos they were always super nice and friendly.
my Hotel Daddy! I am so so so glad that my first stop was the IT Dept 'cos Andrew took awesome care of me and it paved the way for me to get soooo many things: access to all the programs, a laptop, knowledge of how the systems worked, and most important of all, a refuge from the rest of the hotel when really upset/ sleepy/ homeless (and people couldn't just walk in on me cos the IT room was protected and very few people had access!)
farewell dinner with my pork mee lunch gang! yeah it took a really special occasion to move us from coffee shop pork mee that's 5mins away to a japanese restaurant 1 hr away.
i first got sucked into their group when they invaded my table in our team restaurant and turned my peaceful solo lunch into a noisy childish fight over cupcakes. (i realised why after that - the cupcakes realllllly were yummy!) then again i realised it wasn't just the cupcakes cos that kind of scene repeated itself at EVERY lunch with food flying from plate to plate and things getting quickly licked so they wldn't be stolen. and yet sometimes they still disappeared. they're crazy. but i really miss them!
the engineering guys! who spoke very little english but were all quite sweet and earnest!
mama Fareda! expecting her first child next april or so. one of the duty managers that i was closest to!
Diana and Manvin the Munchkin! front office peeps are the funnest!
this photo is just so cute lar. Our Asst. Front Office Manager, @ Abang Fer. he looks more like he's sneezing. Manvin said it's cos he's allergic to Singaporeans. Yes quite likely considering the number of Singaporean barbs i had to fend off. SNIFF!
Most Important Guy in the Hotel. or so he thinks. :P
also, Most Handsome Guy in the Hotel. or so most of the girls think.
so i took a photo with him just for the heck of it although i only spoke to him when i first came, and here, when i was leaving. i feel so small next to him.
Farewell steamboat dinner... CJ, Farah, and Bob Yusof, Chef Conciege, who true to his (new) job title, showed me where all the good food was!
my fellow trainees and other young people, i guess they could quite accurately be called "my playmates"! haha
