spent my christmas countdown at pontini..it was chaotic the whole day due to some last min decor for the restaurant...BALLOONS. think everyone's fingers went swollen bcuz of it. but the whole res looked more in a christmas mood due to that.ade & me were the unlucky gals this yr. cuz wendy will rather die than to wear the santarina costume. urgh. & there were no other gals ard le.plus cindy is helpin out at the office. ade went with e santa ard the hotel to give away sweets while i stayed put in the res. the night seemed long & erm awkward. with all those stupid chefs laughing their heads off like we were their entertainment kit while cooking. URGH.
everything went smoothly for the night and we did not finish closing till late night. There's no present exchange party this yr cuz ben doesnt want it...haiz..but the chefs were nice enough to cook us a feast. There was seafood, pasta, lamb, beef, roasted turky/chicken, sambal fishes blah blah blah & most of it were gone within 1/2 hr. so thats hw hungry everyone were. juz slightly before 12am, poor me & songhui were trying to lock the main door, but was stuck there struggling with the keys. best part was that our smses were coming in & we couldnt bother much, but to sit there first to reply e smses. in the end, ade came & called the engineering ppl which saved us frm sitting there longer.
bb came to the res as well, and helped herself to the food too. yea. she looked like she hadnt ate the whole day which i found out tt its true. den we chilled out with the staff for awhile for heading home to hit the sack. yes. i have to work for tml lunch as well though its a sunday. feels weird cuz we were nv opened on sundays before. the anticipation of meeting the gals for dinner tml after wrk juz keeps my spirit going on....this yr's countdwn is so diff. but nevertheless, i guess its still a pretty unique one.
