marshalling people around for the national day week

7 August 2005

now, i know why the ushers at the indoor stadium's festival of praise were so exasperated all the time.

i was standing there at the seating stands, which is really a disgustingly crap piece of wood and dunno what for sitting down. some people mistake seats for steps, and steps for seats. the field which was apparently supposed to be covered with a tarpauline sheet was removed so now allllllll the mud in the field is soaking up people's socks, shoes and ankles! gross. i'm just guessing how many letters to the straits times' forum will be arriving in the week to come.

also, whoever drives a tank over a tarpauline sheet anyway and expects it to be scratch-free? ridiculous that the organisers even thought of using one to cover the field! some of them probably envisioned this grand picnic in the park ala fort canning green, but a mudbath would be a better and more apt title. YUCKS.

ushering people initially was quite easy (and maybe one could call it remotely fun!). i'm being a useful person in the community for once after all. but once you start seeing people come in through the gates right in front of you by the thousands, you tend to start going crazy. i mean, really crazy!

some people are really lazy, all of them have brochures for the events in the area at marina south but most don't give a damn to read it. and some are deaf, like those who i tell to sit on the right multiple times but keep going left! there are also the stupid, idiotic, annoying and incredibly stubborn folks that would rather die than to give up their seats. they're territorial creatues: lions and tigers mark their territory with the shit and piss, but these just-pure-pain-in-the-butt breed mark it with their belongings, be it a bag, water bottle, EMPTY watter bottle, tissue paper and what have you. i mean, KNNBCCB LAH!

probably the only good that came out of today was the drumming game at the arcade! you know, it's like ddr (dance dance revolution) and guitar freaks but with a drumset instead! of course, definitely way different from real drums but still! i was damn excited when i actually finished playing through all 4 songs (you get to play a maximum of 4 songs for each play, unless you screw up one of the earlier songs). until i realised that it was also a really fast way to burn your money into thin air. so sad, had to quit :S

just really damn irritated today. also some guy wanted to teach me how to use a SAR21. come on lah i think more like i can teach you every thing about it! perhaps what about a gpmg? did you know that it's 11.2kg and can shoot up to 3700m and that 250 rounds of belt ammo is 9kg and that you can really fire on and on for an insane time like a minute plus nonstop and instead of bursting into flames or a billion pieces, it'll still work? but the catch is that you must use non-SAF machine guns only, otherwise the very last point would prove false. ok whatever.

also just finished washing my clothes (hand wash! a tshirt and levis jeans, even though i have a maid!), so maybe that explains my irritability. then i realised that i dumped my clothes into the washing machine instead of the dryer later. cuz this is dumb i have TWO washing machines at home. house chores for guys! woooooooooooosh, but no way!

just so tired lah need to sleep.
