Waiter Woes

Ni. Hao.

ok This is going to be short and sweet.

Black swan is traumatizing.
I mean that in the most traumatized tone possible.
Bloody hell man.

It is NEVER a good idea to work after a late night out.
I learnt that,
through dropping and subsequently smashing,
a saucer, a plate and a mini-flower bowl (yeap. all glass)
Damn tired.

Some jobs rock more than others.

It all comes down to the resume.
And I assure I am going to have the heck of one.

From wednesday on, I am going to become MBS pastry maker.
Which is equivalent to assistant chef.
HAHAAA.
pastry maker leh.
AWESOME bo.

PS.
Let this be known to all people everywhere:

PLEASE DO NOT:
mix sauces (e.g.laksa sauce with honey) because it may be fun for you,
but for the one clearing dishes (aka me) it sucks to try to pour out laksa sauce and have it dripping into the dustbin all sticky like and I have to wait there forever for the saucer to be clean. I mean, putting laksa sauce into a flask clearly labelled hot water? seriously?

Leave unfinished food. I have seen baskets of fruits go to waste. Just today, I picked out a unopened bottle of tiger beer and a exquisite champagne bottle worth easily at least 50 bucks, because it was totally UNOPENED.

put disgusting stuff on your food. Just because you finished eating your food and intend to throw it away, doesnt mean no one else have have to mess around with your garbage. I have seen parmesan cheese on char kway teow, cigarette butts in bottles of plain water, and today topped it off. Opening the trolley, I saw a half-eaten plate of fish and chips(which is bad enough since people like us are starving waiting for lunch hour to come), and on the fried fish was.... a condom.
I. AM. SERIOUS. and it was opened.

seriously?

I mean...seriously?

That's when I realized.

So.
Work today.

It was back at IRD (In-room dining)
but I think because of my tag that I bought myself.

The captain decided to put me, unlike the previous time when i was doing dishwashing,
as FCS.
So excited as I was.
He passed me a walkie talkie. (WALKIE-TALKIE LEH)
and a security pass (SECURITY PASS LEH)
Little did I know.

The walkie-talkie buzzed half the time.
And There was this guy called chong fei
and I kept answering because
i thought HQwas calling wenBin.
and somemore totally different towers (like MBS has 3 towers...right?)
so a typical conversation went like this.
'Ok *bzzt* wenbin, wenbin there?'
'Yeap, wenbin here.'
'Room 3135 clearing'
'Roger. Confirm 3135. Wait.. 3135 is not my tower'
'Who are you?!'
'WenBin'
'I calling chong fei la! you pick up for what!'

I kenna like that for 5 times at least. HAHAHAHAAA.

and then when they really call
'Eh wenbin.'
'Wenbin you there?'
'bin bin bin bin bin pick up pick up'
HAHAHAHA.
then when i pick up, kenna scolding. -.-

the walkie-talkie is so irritating ok.
'Wenbin room 2894 needs 5 mice'
'ok. 5....repeat?'
'5 mice.'
'mice?! repeat repeat cannot hear'
'mice ah. DAO. DAO.'
'OHH KNIVES. OKOK GOING NOW.'


alot more of werid stuff.
and it didnt only happen to me.
so there.
HAHAHAA.


So the security pass.
It was all awesome until
I realized
it was for the lift.
the pass was to USE the lift.
LOL?!

and
the biggest one.
FCS
stands for.
*drum rolls*
Food Clearing Service
HAHAHAHAA
talking about what promotion from dish-clearing sia.

ANYWAY
one of the guests wanted to tip me!
like i not sure, never see properly.
but i know got a 5 dollar bill.
and either a two dollar bill or 10 dollar bill udnerneath. heh.
but i thought cannot tip casual labour
so i said
'Im really sorry sir but I'm not allowed to accept tips.'
So I went back down
and ask
and I got
'Ya you can accept tips.'
OMG.
OMG.
OMG.
OMG.
OMG.

i seriously wanted to turn back time.
so
so
much.
HAHAHAHAHA.

So.
Here ends my story.
did I mention mcfly rocks?!
I think i did.
so there.

Superpowers, naught.

I am here, after much discussion with cheryl chen,
in which she ended with 'omg i dont want to talk to you alr zzzzz'
to talk about *drum rolls* superpowers.

The fact and myths.
ok, probably not.
But what I think ARE the facts and myths,
which kind of annuls the idea of a fact,
but still!

Ok, first things first.
Pyrokinetic.
What is it?
We have seen superheroes with pyrokinetic powers
from Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four
to Pyro in the X-Men.
There are deferring magnitudes to their abilites,
While heroes like Johnny Storm has the able to ignite at will, to fly around.
Pyro requires a spark to start a fire, and seems to be unable to fly around.

So, We go back to the word: Pyrokinesis.
According to our dear beloved wikipedia,
It is first coined by author Stephen King (I was surprised too)
Many comics have described it as the ability to 'excite or speed up an object's atoms, increasing their thermal energy until they ignite, not necessarily objects, but also air particles'
In other words, superheores should be able to create flames anywhere, even in the air, and not require a spark.
Which brings us to: Pyro is either a fake, or he is seriously in need of some basic training regarding his powers, or he is merely an aerokinetic(which i will talk about in a second)
As we know, exciting or speeding up atoms of air particles make them hot.
Hot air rises.
What many pyrokinetic superheroes have not considered
is the ability to use THIS power to levitate objects.
by heating up the air underneath objects,
the hot air would rise, and through intense heating
to prevent the hot air from escaping underneath the object,
would be able to levitate the said object.

The only superhero to have used THIS power at any rate
seem to be Johnny from Fantastic Four to fly around,
through creating a pocket of extremely heated air underneath him.

Back to an aerokinetic, a term I coined to possibly explain Pyro's abilities.
What Pyro can do, unlike his name suggests, could have been the ability to
actually manipulate air, even aerial elements, rather than fire itself.
We know flame survives on certain gases, and not on others.
Oxygen would feed the flame, Carbon Dioxide extinguishes it, Methane causes instant combustion.

By being able to actually control what goes where,
It would certainly help to explain Pyro's disturbing half-powers.
He could shift oxygen source from one place to another, and the flame follows.
Pump CO2 into the area to extinguish a flame.
Summon Methane to cause a spark to ignite into a flaming ball of fire
It is also known that 'Pyro can be harmed by any fire that he does not mentally control. '
Which further reinforces this theory as he has NO control over fire,
but merely the air around it, thus being vulnerable to flames from external sources.

It is also known that 'Any of Pyro's fiery creations will immediately revert to ordinary flame if he turns his interest from it.'
Which also serves as evidence to this theory as he controls the shape of the flame through manipulating the structure of the air around the flame.
Thus the moment he stops doing that, they would immediately revert back to their natural state of combustion.

This is probably a post about pyrokinesis as much as it is a post to critisize Pyro, I guess.
I never saw the logic in his powers and him calling him Pyro.

But I guess the greatest reason,
would be I prefer Bobby Drake.

The two of them ain't exactly on the best of terms.

Till next time,
I'm out.
