Eh hey! A Very Good Morning to blogger. = )
Its midnight now. Just back from work not long ago. Worked from 10am to 10.30pm. Training was supposed to be from 6pm until 8pm, and I have to go straight up to work, reach restaurant latest at 8.30pm. Went with a few gals and a guy, but no Olivia. I changed into my casual wear instead of uniform so as not to be too recognized in the room. The training is located at Lady's Sophia Suite. The topic is about the history and the details of Raffles hotel. The founder of the hotel (The Sarkies brothers'), the story of a tiger which was shot under the billard table, The bartender who created Singapore Sling and kept the secret recipe for many years until it was finally exposed.
Let me tell you more about the tiger under the billard table:
Long ago, there was a circus located just beside the Raffles building. There was a beach in front of it too. That's the reason it's located at Beach Road now. One day, a tiger decided to go for a holiday, to relax and went for a stroll outside. It walked pass the beach and came to Raffles hotel. It came to Bar and Billard Room to order a beer. That's the reason of the name "Tiger Beer". It then hid under the Billard table for many days until one of the waiters noticed it and called the Principal of Raffles Institution(which was previously located opposite of Raffles hotel, NOW Raffles city) to come down to help. He was a hunter that days. Then, the poor tiger was shot under the Raffles building.
=)
But today's training ended early at 7.45pm. So I and a few colleagues went to the mac opposite to eat something 1st and changed quickly, went back to the restaurant at the point 8.30pm. No one suspect. Wahaha... Shhhh....=x
I got a $17 tips today. Yeah! Oh ya..and a guest says I'm very pretty and ask my family nationality and he assured me not to think he wants to marry me. Lol!
