Working can be such a pain in the arse! Working for the races had been a real drain of my energy... each alternate days i had to wake up early to catch the train and be at the flemington station by 9.30am. Work is okie when u're on the move.. but standing up the whole day is crazy and aching.. and by the end of the day i'm so tired that i dont feel like doing anything, that includes studyin for my paper which is next friday. ARGH!!! So far i've read one reading only.. this aint good at all.
anyway.... i had some thoughts abt the races and all... it is great to have such a carnival for people to look forward too and party. but... sigh... these aussies really can drink and they can get drunk so easily. Everywhere i go i see people holding glasses/bottles of champange, beer, and wine and acting like really foolish people. Drunk guys picking up drunk girls, drunk men getting all too rowdy. While waiting for kevin to finish his shift yesterday, I saw 1 guy ran to another and stuck him hard on the back and a fight happened. Really dunno what made that fight happened. I also saw several drunk men trying to pick 2 girls up and they were pretty persistent, i saw 1 girl crying coz apparantly her boyfriend couldn't find her or at least didn't bother too, and i saw this girl at the corner of a shop waiting for a friend getting picked up by several drunk guys. It's just simply so amazing the sight of these party people. What i thought was an elegant day for a great time... looked so bad at the end of it. Rubbish everywhere, people downgraded themselves by the end of the day... it's just... sick to look sometimes.
Also... these few days had been raining... and it also amazes me how women wanting to look good... can dress so much lesser with such high pointed heels not have the brains to bring with them a jacket and an umbrella. Their hats wont stop the rain for them... my colleagues and i were simply so amazed how they can tolerate the rain; we were literally feeling so cold even with a 2 piece uniform on. The men were okie... saved by their suits. Oh well...
what can i say.... australians... or westerners..... dont be fulled by the media.... they dont seem all too superior or better than Asians.... in fact they look ugler and degrading.
it's amazing the kind of people u see at this event... i think i've really seen the real side of these australians. I wonder would singaporean be the same thing if given such a carnival or similar scale event in singapore. hmmmm........
gtg now... picking up some char kuey teow frm kevin's uncle!
byeeee
oh ya.... my last day at the carnival tomorrow... CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO END!!!
i kinda regret not having a day off just to head down as a spectator and dress in pretty frocks. sigh... i wont complain.. the money is good and i will spend my money on pretty frocks for x'mas!
