THE POLITICS OF CLUBBING PART 2 (anti-thesis on the Barman)
Something happen yesterdae night at my workplace, which made me think twice about my earlier thesis. A big big fight broke out at the dance floor..I m used to seeing scuffles at the club, but this was the biggest i have seen so far. While dancing halfway, 2 groups of guys suddenly start shoving each other, and whaddya noe, started punching and kicking each other. I was e first to spot it, coz i was mingling among the crowd..so i immediately rushed off to inform e bouncers and my manager, and they all came rushing in to break up the fight.
Was quite a violent scene for some who are not used to it. Vulgarities of all sorts of language and vocab shouted by both groups. Chairs were thrown, tables were thrown, glasses were thrown, jugs were thrown, ashtrays were broken..basically whatever they could lay their hands on..then some of them started chasing this guy around the stage..the bouncers had a tough time separating the combatants..was quite a sight seeing so many people fighting..
one of my bouncer friends Kane (and he really looks like the wwf kane) was practically separating the combatants by tossing them aside. He would later on tell me that throwing these people is more effective than talking sense to them..so he was like grab leg, throw, grab leg, throw...
eventually the police arrived..and order was restored..
and all this while....the barman was powerless...
was most certainly an eventful night..it was e most packed night in months since i worked there..and i have seen lots of things so far..
but i really enjoy my work, especially with my colleagues. Getting on closer terms with jason, sherry, alfian, eileen, ines, kane...learn a lot a lot of things from them, esp when we are all from different walks of life..Jason esp, i m real glad to know him, and i m positive he is a great friend worth keeping..he s taught and advised me a lot of things from a more mature perspective, about work, studies, life, love, relationships..everything..Real glad to know that he might be getting married soon next year..at this lowest point of his life, this girl was all e way there for him, and didnt mind him at all...thats what made him change his mind, when just 2 months ago, he told me that he wanted to concentrate on rebuilding his career first before thinking about settling down..
