daY tWo & ThRee

day two -- The Westin, Sydney
wet and cold morning.
i walked through Hyde Park alone in the rain slightly pass 7am... saw a group of Chinese practising Tai Chi (i think...). they had huge banners of protest against the Ban of Falungong with them... hmmm....
neways, got to Westin on time; worked with Carmen from UWS.
i like Westin!! was there during the volunteers' orientation in July; i like how they had these cosy function/ballrooms one floor below the Main Lobby. the place looked so so so warm and cosy.
then seated in the Main Lobby yesterday, i got to see all that traffic and movement of guests and staff going in and out of the hotel.... so exciting! reminds me of how exciting work could get sometimes at Pan Pac too :)
and the staff at Westin were so friendly and helpful! from the peeps at Bell and Concierge, FD, kitchen staff...
workwise, well... relatively quiet... got asked if i was Korean... some enquires about where MacQ Bank was... general directions and stuff... oh OH! saw the Korean big-shots move out of the hotel at 9-ish? ya that was prolly the most exciting part of the day. haha!
and yea... that was it! day two. over.

day three -- Quay Grand Suites
not much happened at all on our shift this morning...
from where we were seated at the lobby, we could see the police going round the Botanical Gardens with the sniffer dogs, watch the drivers/security peeps wipe down their sparkly white cars that came to pick up some government peeps, see the big-shots being driven past on the way to the Opera House with a whooooooole lot of security and camera vans...
yep! that was about it! nothing else happened.
Quay Grand feels more like a Service Apartment Residence thingy... was quiet, peaceful... not at all like the bustling hotel lobbies i love though...
oh but the food we got at lunch was fab!!
it wasn't some staff cafeteria-fare... we got to choose our choice of main, side and dessert... and then went to pick it up from the kitchen... like room service! oh it felt like the times when Zu and i would go up to room service at Pan Pac at 2-ish in the morning for our supper while doing the night shift....... we'll stop and chat with James or Syed... or whoever it was that we got along better with (who was on duty that night...) Oh! i miss those days!!!!! :(
oh crap! and now i've lost my initial trail of thoughts...... -________-
ah well, going to try get some sleep.
yes i know its only 2pm.... but i feel sick! and i'm still fever-ish from last night! i'm going to bed.............
