Saturday......

Hi everyone!!!
Today was a very interesting day, firstly we all had the morning off!!!!which most of us spent sleeping (me lol) but for others a morning shop was in order. Lucy has picked up a few traditional crafts which consisted of a couple of kites, a fan and lanterns. (poor Teneale had to deal with the repeat showcase of products to the team).
At 1pm we were all assigned to work in the Banquets Department of the hotel. Today the hotel Banquets team were busy preparing for a wedding. The team helped out by doing whatever they could, this included folding napkins, setting tables and wrapping fruit cake for the guests to take home with them. It was great for the team to witness the transformation of the Grand Ballroom from nearly empty to a beautifully decorated wedding dinner for approx 600 pax.
This dinner was set "Chinese style" and consisted of around 8 courses. Once all was set and ready for the guests to enter a select few of us were required to walk with the waiters on the Bridal table and and act as "models".
Before long, it was time to leave the Ballroom and leave the rest to the very capable Banquets team. The whole were exceptionally pleased about being apart of this special day for the happy couple and wish them the very best with a long and happy union. It will definitely be an experience not soon to be forgotten.
So an early night for all tonight, due to the EXTREMELY busy day tomorrow, which we are all very very very very excited and looking forward to. I'm not going to ruin the surprise, your just going to have to read the next BLOG ;)
Night Night, hope all is well and missing you a whole load
