I was delivering passion.
At Regent Hotel. My former workplace. I used to work part time as a banquet waiter while waiting for my O Level results and had some really fond memories of that place. I’m not going to publish the stuff we did “behind the scenes”, but going back to the hotel as a photographer again does bring back some bittersweet memories. This wedding in particular, one of the older banquet managers came up to me and said I look familiar. We struck a short conversation while waiting for some guests to be ushered into the ballroom. Talked about the previous restaurants and the various changes made to this hotel.
As I drove home that night, I remembered our late night company bus rides back home after the banquet had ended. My first paycheck, which I spent it all on branded jeans (which I probably worn once cause I thought I looked ridiculous in branded stuff). ‘Trumpeting’ my first bottle of Tiger beer at Newton circus after work. Our frequent late night hangouts at the billiards parlour at Far East Shopping Center. Sharing hotel ghost stories and those lonely walks in the middle of the night along the staff corridors. All these didn’t seem to happen that long ago as my ID had suggested.
We grow old so we can reminisce the good times. Happy 2012 folks!:D May the year bring happiness among your family and friends.
