Mimi's Birthday on 140608

for this event, there were quite a number of cock ups and it was actually rather messy ( for my preference )... so here are the list of cock ups that we encounter during that day, in chronological order.

1200 hrs - i was suppossed to meet wilson, ms chew and sheikh at dhoby ghaut mrt station because some incessant pest wants to eat at fish & co. ( the original plan was to eat at Kintamani Indonesian Restaurant at Furama RiverFront ). i've already told sheikh that i will not be meeting him at dhoby ghaut mrt station because i will be late. i've already told ms chew to go ahead with lunch and that i will not be having lunch with them. ( i messaged her at +- 1200 hrs. )
i then told wilson that i will meet them at Great World City to buy some mise-en-plis for the party at 1330 hrs. he said they may be late.

1315 hrs - i asked wilson where are they. they said their food have yet to arrive. so what? its my shit now? i have a darn bloody good reason why i want to eat at Furama. its because the room is at Furama. so when check in time rolls around, we will not be late. no. this incessant pest die die want to eat at dhoby ghaut at this restaurant that you can eat anytime anywhere as they have like a dozen of outlets islandwide. i gave wilson a really good hollering and put the phone down.

1400 hrs - i've reached Great World City and am awaiting for their regal arrival. where are they? still at fish & co, yet to finish, yet to settle their bloody bill. Fine.

1430 hrs - their grand entrance at Great World City. we frantically ran around Cold Storage to look for the party stuff and went ahead to Furama.

1500 hrs - FINALLY! we checked in at Furama. bear in mind that check in time is at 2pm. we were late by one solid hour.

1515 hrs - went into room 1712. realised something was terrible wrong. 1712, which used to be an apartment suite with a dining area, full kitchennette, a living room and two bedrooms, has been renovated into a tiny deluxe sized room that is already a tight squeeze for 10 people! i was in utter pandemonium! so i called May Khiang, the GSO, and asked her about my request for an apartment suite room. this kind hearted soul offered to upgrade me to an Executive Suite at 1526. i was so relieved after that...

1645 hrs - we moved to 1526. if we had eaten at Furama as planned, we would have finished our lunch by 2pm and check in immediately downstairs. we can then realise that the room is wrong by, say, 1405 hrs. we could have gotten 1526 by 1430. compare getting the new room at 4.45pm to 2.30pm. a difference of more than 2 hours! in 2 hours, you can do A LOT of things!

1700 hrs - the rest of the committee came. realised there is no kitchen and so went to aliman's place to cook. finished cooking by 1930 hrs. by then, ms chew, sheikh and the incessant pest had left. when i reached there, nothing was set up! no plates were ordered, no glasses or cutleries were ordered... no jugs were ordered... i mean, wilson should noe that we are organising a PARTY. so a PARTY needs its EQUIPMENT. without it how to function? correct or not? stupid lah this one... know only to throw problems at other people only. maybe that's why Chief Clerk doesn't like him. don know how to solve the problems himself, too dependant on other people...

tak suka tau oran orang macam gini...
