funorama

it is the most boring carnival i ever attended. That's probably because none of you, my dear friends turned up to hang out with me. I mean you and you and YES YOU! bloody bastards, all last minute cancel ):. Well it had its moments.

the usual funorama, equipped with 3 of the haunted houses that would make the most boring of ghosts bored. Lots of good food, and many games which i couldn't be bothered to play because....well because i didn't feel like trying to win any games. THERE WAS TANDOORI CHICKEN!!! and really nice lasagne which i couldn't afford. There was also a cow which was roasted before my very eyes. Well actually i hoisted it up onto the machine thingy. Really interesting, the guy, who did the roasting, roasts meat for a hobby for the swiss club. He also manages a restaurant called Stewhaus. Really nice food. Apparently the 150kg calf is air flown from austrailia, where it has to be marinated (spice rub) for a whole day, then roasted for 10 hours. Too bad the head was left in austrailia, it would have made for a more interested picture than just the decapitated neck.

In order for the meat to be ready at opening time, it had to be roasted the night before. If you do the math, you would realize that it would be about 1am when the roasted the thing. Which would beg the question why the fuck was I at school at 1am. Well i was doing security duty. The most boring thing ever, walk around a school so empty that mas selamat wouldn't even bother to sleep in, though he might have been from saints or disgusting green people... It was really empty, and dark, and really really a big waste of time. 3hr shifts with a 10 minute routine, but i did get to hoist a calf onto a spindle, and i got invited to hoist a 300kg cow onto a spindle at oktoberfest. Woot. Plus pancakes for breakkies. Double WOOT!

though i think the most sad part of the day was the end. I was getting bad underwear abraisions and i had to do clean up duty. I wish I'd never had agreed. I didn't know it was clearing the trash that other people cleared. That's right emptying the dumpsters into the open top containers. That seems easy you say. Every dumpster that we emptied, had brown liquid spew from it's insides down the container like a water fall. Not to mention, we had to climb inside the damn thing in order to empty the containers. This was all done while some morons came around to lob bags of trash onto our heads. They got well screamed at.

You'd be amazed at the stuff people throw away. A whole box of unused AA batteries! NICE...prized not won and food unsold. Then there was the amount of bags that burst with the contends coming right out at us. In the end a technique was experimented with successfully in disposing of rubbish. The six of us, Haiyuan, naveen, kester, tak jian, me and another guy. We used the edge of the dumpster as leverage to topple the dumpster all the way into the container, before emptying it and lobbing off the side. Great success....that is until many many more dumpsters started to show up. Needless to say, we all threw our sneakers away at the end.
