red camp sucks.

no IS lesson today, but still headed down to school to be usher for red camp.
but before that, cabbed down to bukit panjang to pass denyse her handphone. she dropped her handphone in the cab yesterday, lucky i realised that, or else...she would be in deep trouble. went to buy pants for dance too. met denyse for like only 15 minutes then headed down to school. that's because i took less than 10 minutes to buy my pants. guess it's the way how guys shop...short and sweet.
took a bus down to school, met vanessa halfway during the journey. what a coincidence. chatted about modules throughout the journey, from aquaculture, to immuno, to ccta, to instru, to biochem.
reached school and went to see how my fishes were doing, before heading to the foyer for my red camp shift.
now here's the most fustrating part. i was like kinda hungry and needed a bite or something. apparently, there were free lunch which was pizza hut given out to the little kids, leaders and also helpers. so i approached the people in charge of giving out the food...i don't wanna mention names. and i asked them whether i can have one box which had pizza and drumlets in it. (i'm not being cheapskate or what, but it's supposed to be given out to helpers too...so why not?)
and they said, 'no'.
i went, 'why?'
and they replied, 'cause you are not helping in red camp.'
but i am what! and i told them what time shift was, which was supposed to be at 2pm. and they said that the 2pm shift no more or something.
i went back to donald to confirm the shift and stuff...cause he gotten his food earlier and i didn't understand why i don't have mine.
and i went back to them again and told them about the briefing i attended, my shift, and whom i was under. and they told me something about some workshop thing which i totally didn't understand at all, because all i did was just attend a briefing and wrote my name down in the thursday afternoon slot.
so i gave up, and just went back to where donald and jeremiah were sitting. and of course, i wasn't happy already. and the group of 'food-givers' called me back and told me to take one and they would also ask the lecturer whom i was under whether i was telling the truth or not.
like wth?! where's the fricking trust?
i was so turned off that i told them that i had already eaten my breakfast and i didn't want to take anymore.
i'm involved in the event but i'm not given food to eat. i'm not being petty or what, but it's just so insulting to give me the food and say that you will go ask the lecturer i'm under about whether i'm involved or not. they make me feel like as if i am just a cheapskate fellow who goes around getting free food. it's even more insulting when you are not trusted at all. if you want to give the food, just give it. if you don't want to give, then forget it. and...

a hungry man is an angry man!

so because of that, i had to do my shift with an empty stomach. i hope they find out that i told the truth and they would feel so bad and guilty about starving me and making me do my shift without any food. but then again, i doubt they will...
and i could finally get to eat after everything was over...KFC with alvin and jeremiah.
satisfying! hot mashed potatoes, fries, 2 pieces of chicken and 1 nice regular cup of pepsi. how refreshing!
and it's like so much better than eating the cold pizza and drumlets inside that box which those people were giving out in the afternoon.

i'm done with my ranting already!
