happy new year everyone. :) haas. and pull ur ears! woops.
had a different new year's eve as compared to previous years.was working at the sky symphony countdown party as an usher. but the job given to me that day was tearing tickets. and i think each of us tore like thousands and thousands of tickets. it was backaching and really tiring. cus everyone who went for the party had to pass through us, we saw quite a few interesting people. for example, foreign workers who kept trying to enter without tickets. and guys who kept wanting to enter with their siloso beach countdown tickets. hmms. they couldn't tell the difference between sentosa and harbourfront.these two guys were paticularly funny.
me and kristi:' what is this?' (the first time we saw the sentosa tixs)
d guys: ' tickets loh'
and they wanted to rush in without us tearing the tixs or before we can realize they're the wrong tixs.
and there was this westerner who was so charming that the four of us were vying to tear his tickets. haas. he was wearing a suit. and he made his pretty partner seemed so ordinary. the four of us put our hands out eagerly and he went left right, left right. in the end, he gave one to each side and i got to tear his tix! haas.eh. the guys agreed with me he's charming kes. heh.
and i got to see the artistes coming in and out in their vehicles. fann wong was trying to cover her face when going in but waved to us when coming out. junyang was stoning whilst the rest of the superstars were waving madly. gurmit came driving his stylish chevolet.oh. and saw artistes rehearing in the unusual productions room. and so on.
i knew we were in danger when the guys ushers went to buy spray cans. me and my cousin, together with 3 other girl-the five of us were the only group of girls there. there were maybe 4 other girls ushers but they're all with their boyfriends. the group of us became the ultimate aim of the guys cus we weren't armed with spray cans. and cus the rest of the ushers are guys. after the crowd dispersed, i was so covered in foam+sticky confetti+mineral water. hass. and i decided i have to take revenge. so i splashed mineral water at this guy who kept spraying us like nobody's business.wrong move. he turned around and cornered me by spraying foam all over me till i squat in the corner like 10 seconds and just let him sprayed before i could react and ran away.hass.the five of us was so covered in water and foam that everyone avoided us. this group of queiter guys were especially afraid of us cus we kept trying to wipe our foam on them.haas.
it didn't end there. before we go and collect our pay, we had to pass the group of them and it's the only route to the 'room' in the tents. and we got sprayed so badly that my cousin dropped her shoe while running. and a few seconds later, her shoe was so covered in foam that it can't be seen. haas. later in the room, the five of us decided to sit the furthest away from the guys with spray cans. but they decided to spray everyone before we can get our pay. everyone went up one by one, got sprayed before taking the money and running away. it was quite organized. haas.but just before i got my pay, duno why everyone started spraying again and it became choatic. when everyone settled down, he shouted ' who's next?' and my friends were like ' eh. your turn! never mind lah! you're already so "jialet." they didn't let me off even though i was already so sticky. and when i went to get my pay, i saw foam coming from everywhere and i had to squat in the middle and get sprayed cus i couldn't run anywhere. this is what i call hard-earned money.haas.
tearing tickets was a mundane job. if not for the weird and interesting people. and the securities who kept talking and entertaining us. and we didn't get to see the concert. only can hear. even at midnight, we were still at the entrance. but there we get to see all five locations of the 15 mins fireworks. and we went high among ourselves.haas. and during the 15 mins, the crowds outside the entrance was full of couples hugging and kissing while the fireworks play. how sweet. but also a little disgusting. haas.
after the crowds thinned down, we danced to the music at the entrance. and we saw this western couple who started doing a very erotic dance while coming out. and the ushers went 'woah! '. haas. and singaporeans really lived up to the kiasuness. with many people trying to take 4 or more bottles of the free mineral water. but it was a cute bottle. with the 2006 countdown party label. oh..and i saw joanne, enghar, chainnmiin and some other tjcians. enghar came and pulled my ears. hah.
after taking the pay, i went for supper with some of the ushers at river valley. and saw my uncle, who is 3 years older than me. he was in a suit, just came out from zouk's party and changed so much that i could hardly recognize him if not for my cousin who went to talk to him. he told me that i shouldn't call him uncle cus i always call him uncle and my cousin calls him by his name. hass. oh. and i've never sat at the same tables with so many people who smokes. they're only in their early twenties. and are nice people. but don't know why they smoke so much.
hmms. guess i had fun.went to sleep at 7 plus this morning. and ended up with a high fever and a bad sore throat today. maybe cus of the rain and the screaming. hass. so i slept away most of the day and was dizzy after taking the medicines. im really afraid of the homework.i just started doing it today. but i think i'll only start handing up my hw after the orientation. bless me. i don't know how i can ever finish them.
happy new year once again :) maybe i'll do my reflections of the year some time soon. haas.
i want you in my arms ;
