F1 working experiences
I must say that the 3 days were filled with fun, laughter and tiredness.
Standing for at least 15 hours was really tough on us. Nevertheless, we still had to give our best smile and services to the guests. Did I tell you how lucky I was to be placed in the same suite called 'Club 21' as Stella on our 2nd and 3rd day? We were smiling at the news when we heard it as we could give morale support to each other. = D For all 3days, I was placed at the most expensive level – sky suite – where each ticket cost more than $6000. GOSH. Do you know how many hours of work I have to go through in order to earn that much? It is definitely hard earned money for me.
The 1st day was a little torture for me as a friend and I were being nagged by an aunty – a senior staff – through out. (I was smiling a lot when I saw him because I was quite worried that I would be alone. I mean I felt more secured with someone whom I know around.) Both of us really could not stand her at all.
For my 2nd and 3rd day, I was placed at a suite where it was filled with nice and friendly people. The manager was very nice to us. I really felt that he worked harder than us but he still asked us to take a break.
I think the main thing is the last day. We were rather fast with clearing so our manager actually asked us to help other suites to clear as well. Stella and I were rather unhappy at the fact that we were helping but the staffs in some suites were either celebrating or resting. We were
forcedasked to stay till 1a.m. to move things and clean the pantry. It was the worst day of all three. I was and am quite relieved that I am not a guy because I heard that they only finished at 3.30 a.m. O.O You know, before all the guests left, I almost felt that I was dying. We were so tired especially with 3 hours of sleep or less everyday, with lousy food provided and having to stand for so long – poor feet.
The fun parts would be where we heard and saw all the F1 cars moving together. I am in love with the sound. We
stoletook some food to try too. It was so heavenly nice.
OKAY. Some pictures to come along.

We were very lucky as our suite was directly facing the starting point. =D
On the left.
The white chairs are for indoor whereas for the seats just outside of the glass door, you can totally enjoy the sound of the moving F1 cars except that it is solely for the guests in our suite.
Just below the audience seats.
Our eating place. A horrible eating place. Ha. (Tom and Cherry in the picture)
In the lift where it was usually for chefs as they had to carry heavy trays with food.
LASTLY, not forgeting my
single shot. Ha
P.S.: I must really thank Stella (hope that our friendship will become stronger and like what we had agreed upon, we must not take those "arguements" to heart. =) and Benjy or else I might not be able to enjoy all these, yea?
