A day like never before

28 Jul, 0200hrs

Last guest had gone up to rest. Decided to sleep in the lounge today. Dennis with me. Fighting side by side

0420hrs

Awoken by the shutting of glass door. Guest just came back from Zouk. I didnt realise he hadn't come back earlier. He asked if private room is available. I was sober enough to tell him the room is booked for the next 2 days. Slammed back to sleep

0440hrs

Phone rings. Damn it. Someone asking for rates. Again, amazed myself by answering her questions being half awake. Back to sleep after that

0700hrs

Morning call for guest. Woke her up and where else....back to sleep (i know i know...0700hrs is work time but you would understand wont you?)

0810hrs

James and Laura came down to check out. Had to act as though i am wide awake but i know my eyes and hair would have given me away. Never mind...James, Laura and i go wayyyyy back. Haha....but i couldnt muster enough energy to send them to the door. Said bye and smiled. What's after that?

0840hrs

A guest came down and told me we ran out of bread. Damn! Minus 50 points for f***up service. Didnt realise the others finished up the bread. Made my way to buy roti prata for them as compensation. I could hardly open my eyes properly and only rinsed my mouth but still headed for the prata shop. Bought for them to eat, clean up the kitchen a little and still feeling drowsy.

Thought to myself..."10mins. Just 10mins more of sleep and i will start work." Was i disciplined enough?

0910hrs

The guests i bought prata for came down with their bags. They are going out but would be coming back later in the day. Flight is at 7pm. That was it. I told myself i cant sleep anymore else no work is gonna be done today since i am going to URA to apply for change of use of shop to cafe after lunch.

0930hrs

Washed up and started the day of cleaning. Plates, cups, bowls, utensils, washed and put in place. Clean up the kitchen. The usual stuff.

1030hrs

Contractors came for installation of DTTV antenna (that's Digital Terrestrial TV for you).

1040hrs

Start of ironing. Thought it would take me at most 2hrs to finish.

1130hrs

Felt that we would be needed new sets of sheets cos our bookings are on the high side for August. 2nd and 3rd Aug are fully booked. Unpacked the remaining sheets.

1250hrs

Still ironing. At the same time putting dirty laundry to wash and dry. Neo said he would be late. Well, that's gonna give me more time to finish the ironing

1330hrs

Still ironing

1430hrs

Done. 4hrs hours of that. My! This is going down my record books for the longest time taken to iron. So drained. So lack of sleep. So shag.

Had to rush to head down to URA. Luckily Dennis was ther to save the day. My chauffeur. Haha...he wanted me to name him emplyee of the month for his contribution to The Hive for the past weeks.

Time now - 29 Jul, 0235hrs

F***. The same routine again? No way! I am going to sleep.

Plenty more to bitch but no. Sleep. Nite.

---We are still alive---

Hello people! I was afraid i would forget the login and password for this account when i signed in but nah...i remembered.

I realised my last entry was on 4 June. That's like a month of inactivity here! My gosh... So sorry man...Ever since i was down and out of action for a week i didnt have the mood to write here. In my initial entry i mentioned that i am not the kind that likes to write so the sickness was a good excuse to lay low for a while.Hehe..but i am back!!

We are in the process of making a major revamp to our website and when it is up, there would be a link in the website to this blog. I would then be forced to update it daily. Shit! (Haha)

Also, there is going to be a new operational concept for The Hive. Keep coming back here 'cos i would be telling you more as we progress.

July has been really quiet here at The Hive. Don't know what went wrong but we have stepped up our marketing efforts so we are expecting to see the results soon.

Getting quite a few group bookings so i gonna be real busy when these groups arrive. Any kind souls out there willing to help me out? Haha...just kidding..NOT!
