life CAN be interesting

Latest news: the past week was busy EO-ing boss’ wife’s b’day party. Started as a small party, but as expected, invitation list only gets bigger. I was dragged in this job on last minutes, but with bigger responsibilities. Point person. Had to coordinate with everybody, from kitchen, drinks, band, lighting, reception, security and everybody in the guest list. Oh fun!

Unfortunately this EO-ing totally time consuming, I didn’t get a chance to get a b’day present. Well, if I knew what she would like to have it wouldn’t be so hard. But what would you give a lady who has everything? Browsed the internet for ideas, talked to friends, but none worked out. Flowers was the last resort, but that has to be unique. Was going to get her tulips (yep, a nice fresh bouquet) which is hard to find in Indonesia, but even that has to be pre-ordered a week in advance. I dropped the whole idea. I've enough headache already!

Celebration was last night and I can say it was a blast. Only 2 people in the guest list didn’t show up, the band was raving and food was finger licking good!! No drinks for me though. Such a shame I know, but hey, I was working, remember?!

Of course, I only observed all these from a distance. I needed to watch everything, even to where the people smoke. FYI the houses were wooden therefore fire prone. Kept moving around in not so comfortable sarong. Worried I’d trip over it but glad no embarassing accident happened. I know I look cute in sarong *tongue in cheek*, but it's a hassle.

The only ‘casualty’ was when this one guest who brought in an extra friend. I was called to talk to him and as I asked him to wait until I got an OK from the b’day lady he got so upset he started to be aggressive. Blah blah blah… he said a whole bunch of things that doesn’t have anything to do with the situation, with his face just 20 cm off mine.

‘I’ve known CB for 20 years..! How long have you known J and C?’
‘I don’t think that’s the issue here, sir’
‘Not even close, right?’
‘No, but it’s not relevant’

It was just pathetic to see a guy at his age could be annoyingly childish (he can't be less than 40). I didn’t say much fighting words, just stick to my explaining the requested procedure. His threats was foolish and ridiculous.

‘what’s your name?’
‘a’
‘well, you just see that I will email j & c, call them and send them sms’

Bitchy faggot. (No offense, but he was.) He did all the talking, looking more pathetic as he yapped. His friends just stared at his outrageous behavior. My bet he was already drunk. He did shout nasty things I wouldn’t repeat here, nor anywhere.

I knew he was trying to scare me, but he needed to try harder. It was one of those incidents that only make life interesting!!

ps. This entry isn’t about writing against gay men/women, it's just hilarious watching them. I don’t have many gay men friends, but from what I see they could be very insecure toward both sexes. They have strange ways in hiding it. Try to observe it, it's amusing.
