handling kids. yeah, kids.

with respect to the title of this post, "handling kids", all i can say was --- tough.
ytd nite's function was...rather simple, cus my partner (a newcomer serving dinner for the very first time) and i were assigned to onli 2 tables with 7 courses each. the function: 118th Fairfield Methodist School Alumni Dinner or something liddat.usually, there'll be 8 or 9 courses, so basically, the fish was taken out of ytd's menu. y? easy, cus we're serving p6s, i supposed. my thought was, yeah right, alumni. first of all, to my surprise, fairfield methodist is a mixed sch. then, 2nd surprise of the day, it's not exactly an alumni dinner when there were so mani kids.
so the function started. the toughest ting was this - the kids cudnt seem to settle down. we had to walk round the table to find the best opening in order to portion the food. it was rather dangerous. they were jus so hyper and energy was lyk...flowing thru them every seconds. fortunately, my partner and i dint collide into any of them, if not, disaster.
2nd thing - they still cudnt use the chopsticks properly and dirty the whole table. so we had a hard time trying to clear the table after that. well, that's ok. in fact, some adults i met before were worse. haha.
however, on a commendable note, i was surprised by these kids with their well-practised manners. it was a joy, really, to serve them. after portioning, they would say thank u. after changing the plates for them, they would oso say thank u. and when u asked them something lyk "may i clear the main dish?", they would reply politely saying, "yes u may" or "sorry but we still want the food". the contrast - adult, "ok" or "no, we still want". bla.
ok, let's tok abt this morning.
i woke up at 8am this morning jus to make my way to my workplace for a phototaking session. damn. we were asked to take photo for the september event, if we want to work during that mth. i heard some big function involving many different high profile guests from different countries will be held. it's called IMF or something. wadeva it is, i'm trying to get a new job after my sem exams, and get out of the place. haha
