I really have to blog this entry. This is really an eye opening experience buffet I ever had. Yesterday was my brother's 24th birthday. As usual, the whole family went out for buffet to celebrate his day. We went to Furama Hotel for the buffet. When we reached our destination, my mom approached a guy in a suit, presumably the manager. When my mom walked up to him for a table for four, he didn't even bother to stand up smartly, but continued leaning on the ice-cream palour. He was rude! Didn't even look into my mom's eyes and answer her question. He said, " I only have this table on my left here." What the FUCK! Is this what a hotel service is like? He was staring behind my mom and not looking at her when he "replied" her. After that incident, we realised that there's a wedding dinner to be held at the same buffet outlet. We're totally fine with it. BUT! Woah! Read on!

Guests of the wedding couple strolled in. You must be thinking that since it's held in a hotel, they're probably well-dressed. WRONG! They showed up in shorts, bermudas and slippers! Is this the attire to don for a wedding dinner? It was a fashion disaster for me no doubt. There's more to come. Read on!

Either the hotel didn't make necessary arrangements for a smooth pathway for the wedding guests and customers like us, or there were too many wedding guests, because the whole place ended up messy and chaotic. It was as if I were in the market, with tons of people rushing to get their hands on the plates and pile them MOUNTAIN high with food. The table next to us, they have their own mini-buffet! Well, you wouldn't expect much from them when you see their from the lower class of the society. AH BENGS! Oh my GOD!! Half-buttoned shirts, showing off their tatoos, laughing loudly, with hokkien expletitives shooting across the whole restaurant. I managed to catch a glimpse of the bride and bridegroom. The bride's pretty. And she looks so lost when I saw her waiting for her husband to stand next to her to start the drinking ceremony. The bridegroom was with his AH BENG friends, exchanging words such as "ken ni na" loudly! Oh my! My brother and I choked on our drink and food respectively when we heard that. What was going through in the minds of the bride's parents? I think I need not explain further.

There was many time I nearly stepped onto the bride's dress. Hey! Her gown was filled with those frillys! Not my fault if i stepped on them and she falls down flat! The restaurant was not spacious! I didn't enjoy my dinner at all. In fact, I didn't eat much. Firstly, the thought of having to push people away so I can get my food disgusts me. I'm not going to lower myself to such disgrace. Secondly, the rate of food being devoured is going exponentially compared to the rate of being replaced.

F(food being devoured) is Big Theta of G(food being replaced)

Anyone studying alogorithm should be able to understand this concept of Big Theta very well.

Throughout the whole meal, I couldn't help but stare in awe of the table next to us... Hokkien AH BENGS having their own mini buffet at their very own table, talking and laughing out loudly... Staring in awe because I applaude them for being so brave to disgrace themselves. And also having to have food displayed in front of them. Now I know how it feels to be in a triad gang wedding of Hong Kong. Not everyone has the experience of it in Singapore!
