Being the volunteer, u cant really do much, so stop bothering them and blame them for e efficiency in letting the crowd in. There's a reason for everything.

Ever wonder why Traffic Police is so strict on speeding? Because they wanted to earn more? Because they wanted a pay raise? What is the exact real reason? Speeding kills. Reason for setting a speed limit is also that. Should the government do something only when many many accidents happened? NO~!
*Anyway.. i still hate TP. haha.. i love speeding too.*

I went for the canvassing job at chingay on Friday. The day started off well. I saw loads of friends.. I played around. I have fun. I thought that the day would continue to be fun, but never did i know...

We were divided into grps.. n grps were divided into even smaller groups. Me n kewei was together. Our job is crowd control.. and that was what we did in the first 1 or 2 hrs. We were in front of the curry puff shop, making sure that people standing in the middle would move closer to the side so that they won't block the moving people.We also became the information counter. haha.. where people asked where to get across the road since the main road is blocked, and where to get the ticket and stuff like that.

Not long after, we were called to open up queue for the entrance. We have to try to ask the crowd to stand back so that there's a visible queue. Ya noe.. People tend to try to get a gd view by doing whatever they can... so some still squeeze till the queue we made. Some parents started complaining to us, "Hey.. u c ah.. there's still so many seats upstairs.. y don't u let us go in to sit? At least let the young kids go sit ma."... Hello.. it's not as if we can do anything. The organiser is the one in black, not volunteer in white. Argh...

One senior came in in the middle to ask a OLD MAN to stand back, instead.. they quarreled. The senior merely asked them to move more to the side.. and they arugued that there's no place and if they more.. people would be more crowded at the side.. and that.. the whole performance is like few millions yet they dun allow people to c.. and stuff like that. TO end off, he scolded *BITCH*. Bad.

Kewei and i cannot tahan from that time onwards. We slowly let the queue block the queue line we form because we just couldn't be bothered. We became the usher too. We checked the tickets.. and the usher watched the performance. Hello... we are crowd control people.

After the whole thingy.. me n kewei was HOT. v HOT. We asked around.. and found out that the other crowd control was happily watching the performance, or having nothing to do.

Either we were making too big a fuss.. or that we are just fed up. Maybe our perspective is diff. Maybe it's because we c people slacking, and us doing something, that's y we r mad. We are really ... not that happy.

Not only that.. the bus ride was screwed. Performance finished at 10+pm.. we loither till 12 b4 e bus leave. They actually said e bus would alight at MRT stops, but it changes to sch, and finally changes to city harvest there. Argh. I asked dad to wait for me at JE, then change to clementi, and when he reached there, told him to go sch, then b4 he reached there, told him it's harvest there. So guilty that dad wasted the time n petrol. Argh. I hate it.

That's all for my complain. So, remember, there's a reason for everything n i can actually say.. alot of feelings are involved in our outburst~!
