Beer Girls.

I had to work ytd at Fort Canning Park to serve beer at the Simple Minds Concert. I got there and i was lost. I had to like call my in-charge and ask her where the living hell i was. I got there by 4.30 and we had to wait till 5pm to get into the place.


I got to know Lena (above) on the spot and we hit it off immediately. She's 24 and she works as a hostess in Carlton Hotel.

We got to pick our own team and we ended up together with Shawn, our third team-mate. Shawn was the Cashier and Lena and i was the beer givers. We were issued a challenge before anything started.

Challenge:
To sell the most cans of beer and the team with the most amount of money wins two free tickets each to watch the next concert. Plus, our salary for the day would be doubled.

Then we were allowed to choose our own location to sell our beer, so we automatically went to the nearest location. It was there that we found out that we had TWICE as many beer cans that we originally should have. We also had like six coolers when we were supposed to have three. I was scared please. Lena and i started moving the beer around and deciding how we want to place our coolers.

Then Shawn came back, he went to get the float money. So we wanted to heave the whole heavy cooler onto the table and it was a disaster please. The Indochine guys came over to help when they saw how bad we were at moving the heavy coolers. So once we got everything set up and all, we relaxed and started smoking and talking.

The three of us got to know each other more and we definetely hit it off. We started selling the beers around 7 and by 9 the whole stock was GONE. We started out with 480 cans, they restocked about 18 more cartons, which makes that a total of 912 cans of beer. Each can was sold at $8 till we didnt have enough $2 notes left. So we got fed-up and sold the beer at $10 for one. At $10, the people were all still buying beer like it was free.

Both of our hands turned a raw red after the multiple times we dipped our hands into the ice cold bins just to draw out ice-cold beers to sell to the thirsty bastards. They drink like no tomorrow. At 9pm the whole stock of 912 cans of beer was all SOLD OUT. I swear they were angry enough to want to smack the management.

It was so fucking tiring just to stand there and answer theit questions of "Wheres the beer?" "Give me (insert number) cans!". Shawn and i just decided to MIA and go smoke behind our tent. Lena sat at the side of our counter to answer anyone's questions about the beer.

We had to sell coke at $2 for a btl/can after the beer ran out. We got fed up of looking for $2 notes so we started charging the coke at $5 for one. It was daylight robbery but we couldnt care less. At the end of the event, the carlsberg came. We dumped it into the ice water bins and started shouting for people to buy. I was so hyper that i decided to take like 20 cans and go out to sell them all. Half the crowd was drunk and i still wanted to sell them the beer. I sold everything in like 5mins and i made $100. That was the bomb la.

After that i rested for awhile and this Indochine bartender was waving his hotdog at me. He asked if i wanted any and i nodded my head. He passed me like two in napkins. He's cute la.

But i never ask him for his number. DAMN.

Then the chef who's also from Indochine asked me if i was hungry. He wanted to cook the humungus burger for me to eat. I felt like i was at Altivo all over again just like when i first started working there. The Kriston chef always asked if i was hungry and he would make something for me to eat no matter what. I feel the love PEOPLE.

We all took our stuff and went to collect our pay. The official amount was initially $45.50. But Dew insisted for it to be rounded up. So we all got $50. I asked Dew about the winner of the challenge and she went in to check. My team won, we earned a grand total of 12 fucking thousand dollars in the 3hours.

Our salary was doubled but we didnt get the concert tickets. So too bad. But it was fun working with Lena and Shawn. We three make the best team ever.

i really cannot be bothered if you think that the challenge was unfair. Thats your muthafucking problem. Neither Lena or I were the one who opened our mouths and asked if we could choose our own group. Neither Lena or I asked if we could choose our own locations. Its what you asked and we followed. The only wrong both of us made was that we took the location right next to the Indochine food tent and we nearly went mad. We had to take the responsibility for having the biggest location and the worst crowd and twice the actual amount of workload. But we took it without a complaint. You guys practically ran to your chosen location and planted yourselves there. It wasnt our fault. YOU CHOSE IT. So we won the competition fair and square. Fuck off far away and die there.
