Moonfest Fever.
The event happened last September 26,2006. The dreadful, tiresome day where people have to dress up, be friendly, try to be cheerful (even if your feet are soaring with pain), and well, try to eat your heart out.
1:30pm
We arrived at the lobby of Renaissance Hotel (formerly known at the New World Hotel), canâ??t fix the ballroom since the other events are not yet over. So we went to our mini-room â?? called â??Lotusâ?? and fix the moon cake bags. The bank got the 1st, 2nd and 3rd ballroom. The second one was already vacant, but the management of the hotel still is not moving a thingâ?¦darn the party needed to start and the tables be ready at around 5:30pm. (That includes us being all fresh and pretty-pretty!) Anyhowâ?¦I couldnâ??t feel my legs anymore, they are DYING because of the way we are preparing and fixing each table, I was walking back and forth the room and to the ballroomâ?¦(Note: that I was wearing my comfy Haviannas, and still my feet are aching.) Was also walking back and forth for the set-up of prizes per tables...carrying canned goods, tetra pack juices, chocolates, and a whole bunch of other stuff was really â??not my thingâ?? because I wasnâ??t born with the â??musclesâ?? and the â??strengthsâ?? I admit Iâ??m a weakling. Iâ??m a lazy ass-bitch who hates to move and workâ?¦maybe that is why Iâ??m getting FAT! Darn!!
Did I mention the food that was served to us was mouth-watering? I love every bit of themâ?¦the beef, the dumplings, the noodles, the fish, and much moreâ?¦thank God we ate what the guests ate! - FAT!
6:00pm
Just finished getting dress, make-up and stuffâ?¦whew! And I hurrying myself because the final touches in the room wasnâ??t done yet. A lot of stuff still needed to be finished, pieces were missing, people (game hosts â?? who UNFORTUNATELY was busy eating and helping us was not in their â??voluntaryâ?? to-do list.) are missing. Ughâ?¦I could really peel their skin off, the wariness of the people are so flattering it makes me want to puke at them.
7:00pm
Final briefing was made by the head, after a few minutesâ?? guests were finally inside the ballroom and the ballgame---oopsâ?¦dice game I mean, started! My tables minor prizes run out quickly, but the
chong wan (the grand prize) was taking a lot of my time, and putting a lot of pain in my feetâ?¦finally someone got it (she was still young, I think around my age) went up to have our picture taken, she got the food steamer which is pretty good alreadyâ?¦ the bank also has other â??grand prizesâ?? which includes component set, 29â??â?? tv, ipod, handycamâ?¦everything was great I wish I could have one of those! The night didnâ??t end that bad (time check: 9:30pm) it was fun at the end though, totally tiresome but fun! And of course, the pictures were overflowingâ?¦
I posted some of it here, but the complete album is found at my multiply site.
