i wanted to blog here after i finish working last sunday but i was too tired to type. another reason is that i suck at telling stories using words. it's so much easier if i say it out rather than typing it out.

anyway, i stopped working as a balloon guy since sunday. i kinda enjoyed working as one though. most of the workers there, be it permanent workers or part-time workers are nice people. and they wanted my job! well, they helped me blow up the balloons and tie it to a stick whenever they're free and i just go out and distibute them. turned into an instant KID MAGNET. well, some teenage girls came to get balloons from me too. not to mention a few middle age woman. hehe...totally enjoyed the attention that i get. by the way, some people even addressed me as "uncle"! come on lar..i don't look THAT old. i learned a little about the business world. and i am able to see certain things from the businessman point of view. for example, i don't really like it when people ask me whether i need help whenever i step into a shop. and now i knew the rationale behind it. it is a very simple way to prevent theft. when a shopkeeper attends to you, it shows that they noticed you and the chances of you stealing will be very low. so now i've experience in 5 different jobs. croupier, waiter, housekeeping, promoter and balloon guy.

the other day the subject of relationship suddenly came up when i was talking to one of my friends who also worked in the same shop except that he is supposed to sell digicams. he had a relationship before and after they broke up the girl still maintained a good relationship with him, as a friend. he helped her do a lot of things. projects, assignments etc. but when the girl got a new boyfriend, she started to treat him badly. he was upset and disappointed nevertheless, and i saw it with my own eyes (the girl also worked together with us) how she disrespected him in front of so many people. i don't get it sometimes. when girls are in a relationship, they always expect their boyfriends to be loyal to them and hope that they treat her nicely. and usually, it was the girls who dump the guys. they think of us as something they can wear and take off anytime they please. and when a relationship ends, people are bound to blame the guys. i might sound like i'm anti-female but honestly i'm not. it's just that recently i heard a lot of stories which is so similar to the situation i mentioned. it even happened to me dammit! and someone told me today that he feels that some girls are extremely friendly when they are single and available (they send u cards, they sms and call and they remember your birthdays) but when they are with someone, you are totally invisible to them. what gives?
