I'm Not The Waiter, Dammit !

Last night I attended a dinner in my ex-primary school. As the attendaance was more than 4k, the waiting crew were too busy to pay much attention in their service.

(1) A dirty cup. Well, it's not the typical dirty cup you'll normally get to see, stain marks or grease. Instead, there was a dead leech-like organism in it (I'm not sure what is it anyway, but it does look like a leech. Yuck...), covered in layers of dust. And it was too late when we discovered it, as my baby cousin drank from that cup, and we all thought that was a Chinese Tea leaf.

(2) As I mentioned above, the waiters were too busy to pay attention on the customer's needs. None of them came to refill out the tea flasks and the ice buckets, so me and my sis volunteered to go and get it ourselves for 3 tables.

On the way there, the people on the other tables, who were sharing the same problems and frustrated as well, saw the both of us carrying the flask and buckets, and they thought the both of us were serving and threw their pathetically bad temper at us. Rude sounds like "Hey" & "Hoi" were heard among the places where we passed by.

Damn, if I have to explain to everyone that we're not waiters, I'd die of thirst. So we ignored those clowns and charged through, with the thought of "Haha, you losers ! Get them yourself, lazybummers !"

When we reached there, we got our stuff thanks to the directions from the dishwashers (strange, right?), and rushed back to our tables, going through another round of "Hey" 's & "Hoi" 's.

P/S To Waiter from Waiter Rant, if you're reading this, of course... You'd puke blood the moment you see those bunch of undeserving morons. I wonder what acts will you pull when you serve them, Heheheh...

Network Marketing = Spider Web Luring Flies

Heck, this world of mine is going haywire. Espacially with the fact that some friends act more like spambots rather than humans.

It's like mushrooms after the rain - suddenly most of the kids I used to know are involved in network marketing, or maybe in their minds, money-making business. People whom I used to know back in middle school (heck, I've lost contact with most of them for a long time) pops out from nowhere, and they managed to dish out my phone number in amazing ways. Then they will invite me out for some coffee, and in the middle of some conversation they will bring out a file containing a whole load of crap, and thus their one-vs-one presentation commences - which most of the time I'm dreaming my time away instead of listening.

This is growing into an unhealthy trend. In the university which I'm attending, a lot of people are participating -and perhaps fighting each other for competition - in this 'business'. People whom I called friends are now people who are ordered by some-unknown-hand to use their own friends as their source of income. No, not their income, but the some-unknown-hand's income. Dammit.

Money drives people nuts. Or rather, people drives themselves nuts with money. The desire of wealth has turned many people into something that's inhuman at all. And that's the price to be paid for Greed, something like a contract with the Devil.

A few weeks ago, I saw this on the headlines of some paper : "Middleschooler involving in network marketing owes debts." Is this supposed to happen to a kid who's supposed to enjoy his/her teens ? Who's responsible for pulling that poor fellow into this mess ? I'd say nobody will. Because that damned fellow who set up the organization and started the whole thing, who took all the credits of being the founder and who took MOST of the profits from his/her victims (including my friends), will only KEEP QUIET AND REMAIN SILENT about this unfortunate event. And I'm not joking about this.

That's why I vowed to myself not to participate any of those, despite how TEMPTING the profits are, as described by my friends. The game of trust is nothing more than a gamble, and you lose more than you will gain in gambling.
