Still feeling sick and its been more than a week already! I'm slowly getting better (or so I think) but never healthy.Darn it!
I went to FHM last Thursday, for those who don't know, FHM(Food & Hotel Malaysia) is an event held every year mainly for competition that has got anything got to do with food and hotel. Mostly participated by people from the food and hotel industry and students. All kinds of competition were held from hot kitchen to bartending to table setting.
I did not go there to pay RM5 and watch the cooking competition but I was there for being a free labor for them. We were told that we were "lucky" to be choosen to help out for the event and we were all excited thinking "yay! money coming in! we will be paid right? we have to be" and by
we, I refer to Taylor's student. So, happily waiting for the day to come only to find out on that day itself that we will not be paid. So fine, tak ape la kan...at least we get the chance to watch the competition and stuff and get to learn something new from there, make new connection.
When we were there, we were divided into a few groups to help different things. I was surpose to help the bartending section, so that means I get to watch the Mocktails&Cocktail competition. Then, I saw that Taylor's is under the silver sponsor. What did Taylor's sponsored? Yes, tenaga manusia. Dah la tak inform kita yang kita nih akan dijadikan kuli batak dieorg. Tapi takpe, since that we are already there, kite pun buat je la kerja yang diamanahkan.I worked from 12 until 5 non stop watching other students dapat jalan-jalan tangkap gambar makanan-makanan. So I pun pelik kenapa I kena kerja tapi dieorg dapat jalan-jalan. Pastu, I dapat tahu rupanye, kerja dieorg adalah bagitau jaga makanan2 display. Hekeleh...gile not fair.
Tapi takpe lagi, I sabar...pastu I tengok tengok jam, dah pukul 3 petang, perut pun mula rasa lapar, jadi I cari cikgu mintak break nak pergi makan. AND GUESS WHAT. NO BREAK FOR US. gile wtf right...We only get our break after we finish our job and no, they did not provide food for us. I was bloody pissed by then. Dah la tak bayar gaji, some of us dapat lepak-lepak, some kena kerja, takde break plak tuh and tak bagi makan! Ape nih, dah la I demam time tuh, and no food means I can't take my medicine. Bodoh nak mampus.
When the bartending competition ends, we have to go KLCC and get our own food. Tuh pun nasib baik we cabut lari untuk pergi makan. I spent RM10 for food. At least bagi lah duit untuk bagi makan kan!! Bengang gile I. On the way back, many of us planned to skip the next day. Yes, we were surpose to help out the next day too. Total about 40 of us will ponteng the next day. Haha. padan muke korang short orang on friday.
Later that night, I found out that they do provide food but finished before 3pm and non of us has eaten yet. Then bile kawan I complaint kat orang i charge, boleh die buat muka terkejut tapi tak buat pape. So its not our fault that so many of us don't wanna workt the next day. Can't blame us for that. Boohoo!
I did manage to run around taking some picture before they clear everthing though.
On Friday, I went over to this gudang were my friend's brother in law was shooting and indie movie called Adiwira. Apparently, he drew a comic when he was young and named it Adiwira and he planned to make a movie out of it when he grow up. Now, he's grown up and now, he's shooting the movie. Congrats! It was totally awesome and lookout for the movie when its done!!
Of course I took some pictures but as usual, I'm too lazy to upload some. So, just look out for the movie! and give some support. Merci beaucoup!
