good pay

*playing Lips Of An Angel by Hinder

So I was working as a runner cum Library Assistant during Morgan Stanley's Asia Pacific Summit from 12th November to 15th November. The pay was good at $10 per hour on weekdays and Sunday at double. Meals were provided and we are welcome to help ourselves with the buffet spread of finger food outside the conference halls when there is no crowd.

Although I'm a runner, I'm more of a Library Assistant most of the time. It kinda sucks though. As the job scope is to stand there the whole day and when company brochures run low, I replenished it. It was really boring and probably worse than my NSF vocation. Makes me wonder why I am chosen as a Library Assitant. When some other people can be runners which requires them to work from 9th nov to 16th nov! Damm...

I took quite a few candies from the hotel though and they are now residing in my fridge. Haha.
Oh Morton's sandwiches are really good. It's no wonder my sister just can't stop telling me about them. I probably should try out their Mon-Fri daily happy hour one of these days.

There were pretty office ladies mainly from Hongkong around as well as fellow girls who were hired like me for these Summit. Though I did not really manage to interact much with them, which sucks yet again. However, I think I managed to chalk up just over $400 worth of salary over the 3 days I actually "stood guard" over the library as well as packing up. Which is not too bad. But it was really tiring, imagine working from 7am to 1am and reporting at 7am the next day. Although cab fare is provided to and fro. :-) Anyhow, to the good people from Morgan Stanley, Babara the event management company boss from Hongkong who organize this summit as well as Karen from PRST. I thank you all for this experience and really do hope I could work again next summit as any other role except library? Please?

About

: Name: Peter; Location: Singapore

Not boring not exciting, not lazy not hardworking, not handsome not ugly, not short not thin, not a bad guy not quite mommy's boy either. Regular Singaporean guy who like most guys probably get several different colours of the same shirt, t-shirt, berms, jeans once they fall in love with a particular design. Been through the era of cassette tapes of walkmans to discmans(remember the anti-shock technology) as well as MiniDisc(coming out at a bad time) which obviously lost to the emergence of mp3s and the CD to LD which saw LD losing out to VCDs. Next came the DVDs which 0wned the vcds and try to act smart by having 2 groups, HD DVD and Blu Ray. 2 words BLU.RAY. Loves to reminisce the old days when A&W rootbear float was still around and KFC was still a restaurant complete with waiters serving you Kentucky Fried Chicken. The days where bus fares were 10 cents for students and pizza hut's lunch buffets. Moves/dances to the jumpy music of Ipod Ads and likes to laugh at the Hello I'm a Mac, Hello I'm a PC advertisements!
