| :: The Day I Rubbed Shoulders With Goh Chok Tong
:: | | 4:42 AM |
| | | | | |
Remember the day I met Tony Tan? That was nothing. Now imagine being in the same room as Lee Kwan Yew, Goh Chok Tong and Lee Hsien Loong. Wah, breathing the same air as them wor.
Yes, I'm a little starstruck. Compared to them, meeting people like Tay Ping Hui, cousin to the King of Jordan, various ambassadors, etc was nothing, NOTHING. Imagine, you get to see your Ah Gong and Lao Peh face to face leh. Haha. Everybody was in awe of them obviously. Of cousre I didn't get to talk to them lar. Still, they should try to win my vote mah. GE coming le. But their bodyguards are so damn rude. I was so pissed at them yesterday. The function was held for the MPs, NMPs and foreign dignitaries standing buffet style in a room at the old Supreme Court. (Yes, the one shown on TV behind where the VIPs were sitting) Try to imagine 200-300 people squeezed into a room slightly larger than the size of a 5 room flat. It's bound to be a bit tight for space right? Somemore we had to be extra careful cause we are carrying drinks and such. So I was being extra vigilant in trying not to bump into anybody that I walked a little too close to GCT. I didn't notice I was veering into 'restricted' areas, after all, there were many people wearing white shirts and pants in the room. How was I supposed to know that he was standing there? All I cared was not to spill anything on anyone, myself or the floor. Trust me, you do not want to make a fool out of yourself in front of those people.
Anyway, getting off topic here. I was minding my own business when suddenly this guy wearing a earpiece and a hideous polo tee pushed (or nudged me, couldn't really tell since I wasn't expecting to be pushed and all. Hello, they are all civillized people here.) My point is, I was shocked to be pushed(suddenly, I might add.) or touched for that matter. So I was desperately trying to keep my balance(and succeeding of course, all those years of dance lessons on the balance beam really paid off.) when I got pushed a second time. This time, I managed to get too close to LHL. Or so the other guy in with the earpiece and the hideous thinks.
KAOZ. They think I want to assasinate them izit? Please lor, all I did was to probably block their sight of the two VVVIPs. Even so, there's no need to manhandle me like that mah. What if I spilled something on Yong Pung How? (Yes, he was there having dinner with LKY.) Or the ambassador of Nigeria/France/Belgium/Netherlands? Are they going to take responsibility for that? Can tell me to walk in another director gently mah. No need for contact OKAY?
Anyway, I would be out of my mind to try and assasinate anyone. I would never get out of the room alive with all the military police around anyway. What am I supposed to use? The cutlery or the glasses? Siao ar! I need a special pass just to get anywhere near the Padang. It was kinda fun to see(and make fun of) everyone's photos and ages. So funny lor, I never knew Ace had such a obiang haircut (so 70's!), HAHAHA...Can't stop laughing. Or Ravel used to have a guai kia 'do (he's so beng!) and shares almost the exact IC no. as me, in the exact order with 2 different digits.
Really had a good time working cause it was so relaxed. Never had so much fun working there in a long time. Most of the time we just sat at the back(because other areas were restricted.)making fun of each other and telling dirty jokes only the above 18 crowd should hear. Only worked for an hour plus tops AND we had a front row seat(or view if you want to nitpick, we aren't exactly sitting down.)
Oh, yar. Previously I mentioned about worrying about the caveman. Turns out I was proven wrong. He's willing to talk to me but not much. Tsk tsk, what's wrong with me? I remembered once upon a time, all I wanted was for him to leave me alone. Stupid Willie keeps telling me to just stop trying to save face and just tell him that I love him. EW! Just glad that Willie and I are on speaking terms again. Not that I missed all the crap he used to sprout anyway.Labels: GWP
