Me: "Would you like some mineral water?"Guest: "Oh no. I don't take mineral water."
Me: "Oh ok. Sure."
Guest: "You know why?"
Me: "Nope. No idea."
Guest: "Because of the fishes."
Me: "Fishes??"
Guest: "Yeah! Because fishes make love in the water!!"
.
Omg.
I love guests like the one above.
Every now and then, I meet guests who are so crazily fun.
.
When I was young, still in Secondary school,
I used to tell myself;
'No matter what, I will never stoop to doing a customer service job. I will get a good job in an office and work proper office hours.'
A few years down the road, I started working in a restaurant because of the good pay.
A job which I had told myself a million, trillion times, I would never do.
Thereafter, it was no turning back for me.
I love working customer services job.
I like working in restaurants.
I like serving and talking to people and seeing them enjoy themselves.
Simply said, I enjoy working in a job where I get to interact with people.
Which is why I choose to move on to working in a hotel.
.
The Front Desk allows me to interact with guests on a higher level.
I love seeing familiar faces of repeat guests.
I love remembering their names without having to look at their profiles.
My hotel allowed me to go even further a step,
making me love working with people more.
Being a small boutique hotel,
I was allowed to work free spiritedly.
Meaning, I could shout greetings and byes to my guests,
even when they are like nearly 10 meters away.
Haha.
Yes, thats what I ALWAYS do.
.
"GOOD MORNINGGG MR ****!!!!",
I'd shout out when they are just only walking down the stairs.
.
"BYEEEE!!! TAKE CARE!!!"
I'd shout out from the Front Desk even when they are already seated in the taxi.
.
I'd walk guests all the way to the MRT station, when I had the time.
Small chit chats with them always made my day.
.
And now in Albisguitli,
to make up for the fact that I can't converse in German fluently,
I made it a point to remember what the repeat guests order.
I bring out orders for them without them ordering.
I see them through the window, head into the kitchen to prepare the drinks,
and bring them out to them when they've just settled themselves.
I LOVE that feeling.
.
My classmates in SIM should already know what my next job aim is.
I said it so many times previously during our school term in SIM.
PR.
PR in a big hotel or casino.
Dang.
I get excited thinking about the job.
.
Customer service jobs are reknowned to be one of the lowest paying jobs.
Why the heck did I fall in love with one of the lowest paying jobs?
So doomed.
I love shopping.
But I earn so little.
:(
.
Fat Ninja brought me this while I was blogging.
My Ninja got so excited over this egg-like thing.
Because he had no idea what was inside.
So cute.
Haha.
.
.
Its small.
And it splits up into 2.
Bottom half contains Stracciatella ice cream.
Yummy.
Ice cream at 445am.
.
.Hidden in the head was a small egg. It was something like the Kinder Surprise. Nothing exciting in the surprise egg. In fact, I don't even understand what it is about. So no pictures of it. Haha.
.
.
Oh ya.
My dinner earlier on.Rostti with cheese and 2 sunny side up eggs.My special order. Was craving for this dish which I last had at Fat Ninja's hotel's restaurant.Cravings.Mmmm...

Before you commence reading the rest of this crazily late post, I know I have to say something...I FREAKING HELL NEED A NEW CAMERA!!MY CURRENT CAMERA SUCKS ULTRA MEGA BIG TIME!!.Didn't take much photos for our birthdays n stuffsbecause my camera produced really shitty photo quality.And I am honestly fairly disappointed that we did not take much photos, taking into consideration that it is our first birthday celebration together. :( .With that said, here's the few that I decided I'd post. .
.Haha.
Not much I know.
Well, like I said, we did not take many photos.
Most importantly was the company I had.
.
28th October.
Happy Birthday Me.
Fat Ninja travelled all the way down from Stans right after work, to Zurich.
Because it was my day, I was allowed to be late and to take my own sweet time to get ready.
:)
We strolled around Zurich and entered random shops while willing time away.
*I love that morning stroll we had*
Lunch at Takano.
Tako balls and fried dumplings on the house,
because Fat Ninja knows the owner.
Back to Luzern thereafter to meet Raghav,
who had specially taken off for our birthdays.
Awww... Such good friend.
Headed to school to collect MY PARCEL FROM DAWN, STELLA & YY.
You know, I was so excited when I saw the parcel that I had wanted to tear it open the minute I got it.
But was scolded by Fat Ninja and instructed to open it only when we were back in Stans.
.
(THANKS DARLINGS!!
EVERYTHING INSIDE WAS AWESOME!!
FAT NINJA FINISHED 1 PACKET OF BAK KWA AND THE CHILLI TUNA.
AND THE FAMOUS AMOS LASTED FOR 1 WEEK.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME.)
.
Roadhouse.
Fat Ninja.
Raghav, Sandra, Sneha, Julia, Alan and the other 2 girls.
Lol.
Drink.
Drink.
Drink.
Drunk.
.
My Ninja's still the best.
Reduced to looking after an ultra drunk me (whats new?).
Although I know he was so tempted to murder me that night.
Hahaha.
Story shall be kept hidden in the closet.
.
. 29th October.
Hangovered.
Sleep.
Vomit.
More sleep.
Frantic texting most of the day to confirm attendance for Fat Ninja's surprise dinner.
.
30th October.
Happy Birthday Fat Ninja.
Back to Zurich I went.
Off to Luzern Casino he went.
Back to Luzern in the evening to bring him to the Italian restaurant.
THE-SURPRISE-WAS-SPOILT.
Am not going to talk about it.
(but I was uber pissed)
However, Fat Ninja was still TOUCHED by the effort.
(just admit it. TOUCHED is the most appropriate word to use to describe your feeling that day. heehee)
The food was superb.
We are definitely going back there again.
.
Then after, back to school.
1. To will more time away before going to Opera.
2. So that Helen could change into clubbing clothes.
.
Opera was crazy.
The guys drank so much.
Fat Ninja had amazingly managed to stay quite sober even after so much drinks.
I was still too affected by the hangover I got from my birthday to drink.
But the main thing was,
I GOT FAT NINJA TO DANCE AGAIN.
:)
.
31st October
Thank goodness I requested for this day off too.
Had the whole day to recuperate from the excessive partying.
.
So those were the birthdays-days spent.
Then thereafter, I went back to my plain boring life.
Work, work, work and more work.
.
Darn.
I am pretty sure there were more I wanted blog about.
But I had everything forgotten the minute I started recalling the past events.
Plus I have not taken any more pictures.
So nothing to jolt my memory.
Oh well.
