security VERY tight...
early in the morning go to work...
barricades already set up all round the perimeter of the hotel...
y security so tight?
no... not coz Stephanie Sun is coming...
but ministers from ASEAN countries are coming for this dinner...
even some ministers from other countries like Canada are coming...
Lee Hsien Long and Goh Chok Tong are coming too...
so scared got terrorists...
scared of assinations... etc etc...
if terrorist really did manage to bomb us...
well... it's hitting a lot of birds wif juz one stone...
usually high security event only consists of a few policemen guarding ballroom entrances...
and metal detectors in the corridors leading to the ballroom...
these are a usual sight...
seen quite a few such high security events...
but this time... it's not juz dat...
IT'S BIGGER!!!
i think they deployed ½ of the police force to this event... -_-
from the usual metal detectors only...
to metal detectors AND X-Ray scanners to scan all bags into the ballroom...
on patrol policemen carry portable metal detectors too...
Custom?
gunmen all around the perimeter...
those wearing cowboy hats
and holding rifles dat look like a shotgun...
wait... or IS it a shotgun?
if i'm a terrorist... i wun even dare to step near the hotel... -_-
but however tight the security they provide...
there are still bound to be loopholes...
no outsider noes our hotel as well as we ourselves do...
those without a pass... (i'll get to the pass later)
will not be allowed to enter the areas near the ballroom...
and any access leading to the ballroom...
our hotel is big...
too many secret entrances...
so... how do u expect us to return to our kitchens without a pass?
lol... there is a secluded door leading to our kitchen (which will also lead to the ballroom) unguarded at all... lol... :P
policemen guarding almost every entrance/exits to and from the ballroom...
even juz outside the door of our kitchen got 3 policemen sitting there... Zzz...
overheard something funny while passing by a policewoman...
she was on the phone...
said to the other party on the phone...
"i scared later i cannot find my way out..."
LOL!!!
i was thinking... wat if terrorist come run here run there?
den all the police horlanz... XD
ok... anyway... working halfway...
we gotta go back to the security room to get our pass...
need to give our details...
name and IC no...
the WHOLE hotel needs to give their details...
imagine how many staff we have... O_o
imagine the queue...
aiyo...
crazyness...
but only ppl involved in the event will be able to get a pass...
which wasn't ready then... so we couldn't go back to the kitchen...
waited and waited... in the end...
we tried the "secret route" back to the kitchen... LOL...
btw...
saw the stage while on my way to work todae...
took a couple of pictures of it...
dat's also when i took the picture of the X-ray machines and the metal detectors...
so dat explains y it's so empty and unguarded...
coz it's early in the morning...
The Stage
Some of the people rehearsing for the function...
usually for a 1000 pax western banquet functions...
we only need abt 6-8 dishing out stations...
at most 10...
so each station will be dishing out around 100-150 plates...
but for this top VVVIP function...
we set up 20 dishing out stations... O_o
for only 380 pax...
they wan the food to be dished out fast and hot...
hired 200 part-time servers... O_o
means each server serves 1-2 plates
from the usual 1 server to 1 or 2 tables...
or at most 2 servers to 1 table...
din get to see Stephanie Sun todae...
