I gotta go hardcore on this one because I am still very pissed at how the event was held.

When people were buzzing about how the new Nokia X6 is going to be sold for RM66 to the lucky 66 persons, I was thrilled! I knew that not necessarily I’ll be the lucky one to get the phone but if I didn’t show up, I don’t even stand a chance right?

So because all we needed to do is to buy a pink / blue shirt, I bought a pink shirt and I was excited for the event, to be honest, not because I get to see Boys Like Girls (obviously I’m not a fan) but because of the phone. But as I’m typing this, I feel so ashamed of myself having to be “victimized” just for the sake of the phone.

The event will begin at 7pm, but I thought of going there earlier because I wouldn’t wanna be stuck in the jam. I reached around 4 something. It was raining heavily, and finding parking was difficult, YES! There was no parking space for the visitors.

So those who don’t have umbrellas would have to get soaked under the rain, and mind you, it was a heavy downpour, even with an umbrella, I was all wet.

And the best part is, we don’t get to go in until 6pm. So there’s nothing we can do but to wait because it’s not like there are restaurants around for us to get shelter.

Ok  I get it that it is a FREE event, but as an organizer, at least have the courtesy to give us colored wrist bands and then instruct us to enter different entrances according to the colors. But that’s not the case, there’s only ONE entrance and when they finally opened the gate. I have only one word to describe the situation.

CHAOTIC!!!

People started pushing their way in, I was squeezed and on many occasions I nearly fell but I managed to balance myself, I’ve seen people tripped and one girl even fell and hit her head on the steel bars. YES! It’s that messed up!

It was still raining, when we entered the gate, we were not allowed to go into the stadium. Meaning, we have to be soaked under the rain… AGAIN.

When we were lining up waiting for them to lift the curtains, one super cocky Nokia staff came out and asked us to move back 2 steps. Was he blind or stupid or both? Obviously people won’t go back two or even one step because of 2 reasons:

1. We didn’t even have much space to move!

2. Did he actually think that people want to move backwards to enjoy the rain?

So when the curtains are opened, people started marching in again, so it’s a second wave of being squeezed… Again, we’re not allowed to enter the stadium YET. And the best part, some idiots started throwing CAR STICKERS.

What’s wrong with throwing car stickers? People at the back thought they are giving away COUPONS TO BUY THE NOKIA X6 FOR RM66 and they kept pushing! While the idiots enjoy throwing car stickers at the crowd, the staff kept yelling “MOVE BACK!!! MOVE BACK!!!”.

Man where the hell is your common sense? HOW TO MOVE BACK when people thought you guys are giving away coupons?!

Then we heard someone announcing this on the microphone,

“If you guys keep pushing, we will CANCEL giving away the coupons.”

How the hell can that person say things like that? If he’s working in this field he would have expected people to start pushing, and this announcement is only audible to the front row, those at the back wouldn’t even hear it! Please check out the number of the participants thank you very much.

And I met some awesome people also think that the management sucks like hell and they are going to rant this shit on their blogs/Twitter blah blah blah.

When we were FINALLY allowed to get in, the security guard was yelling at us like we’re the prisoners, man what the heck is wrong with you? And they only opened a tiny space for people to go in one by one, and then people will start cutting queues to get in, so it’s another havoc.

I finally got into the stadium and I saw another long line, apparently people are queuing up to get the coupons to win the phone. Guess what? When I was about to reach them, they have finished giving away ALL the coupons.

3 hours of being soaked under the rain and this is what I get?

My mood was severely damaged and I walked out the stadium, I ain’t gonna stay for the performances because I don’t even stand a chance to win anything, so I went home instead.

I am sure you’ll get the chance to read about other people’s reviews and I’m going to say this, I’d rather spend RM2K+ to get the phone than to suffer in this condition. And to the organizers, you suck! Please don’t send out misleading information next time, let’s review the poster.

We were there early, and it’s you guys who are completely screwed up that messed up the whole system. We were queuing up obediently and it’s your fault how people would jump queue and ended up being able to get in first.

So yeah one last message to the organizer, “F*ck you!”

UPDATE:

More reasons why this event sucked. And this information is gathered from various sources:

• Apparently there were 2 entrances, one was the official one and the other was meant for the exits but people could walk in freely, hence it was a question in my head when I was at the front row and when I got in, there were already many people ahead of me.

• Some staffs actually mistakenly gave away the coupons to people who arrived much earlier. We were told that the coupon will be given away at 7pm but some people didn’t follow instructions well.

Here’s something I need to get off my chest, I am totally disgusted by how some friends who would come up to me and badmouth somebody and the next thing you know, they are getting so close with that somebody. And then you’ll start to think, “Oh no, will that somebody know what I’ve been saying?”

Don’t think any further, that somebody will have a high chance of knowing what you have been ’sharing’ and he’ll also hear about things you did not say. All this because of your friend is acting like a big time hypocrite and you’re trapped!

I live with many principles, one of them is that if there’s someone I don’t like, I won’t associate myself with it. And that also depends on the extent of how much I dislike that person, if I have to burn the bridge, I don’t mind doing it, if I don’t have to do it, then we still can talk to each other, but keep it at the minimum. Because you won’t possibly hear me asking you out for lunch when I’m alone or shop together because I’m bored.

What really saddens me is that I have friends who seem to enjoy being two-faced. And it further pains me to call them my ‘friends’. But I guess after writing this entry, I will then make my decision to keep a distance with them. I have nothing to lose after all.

So yeah, I used to tweet about how much I dislike, and then I had people who seem to really care about me asking me about the person I’m talking about. I was contemplating if I should reveal the name, but I did because I thought I could trust that so called ‘friend’ of mine. Yes it’s all my fault for having a big mouth too, I could have kept my mouth shut but I chose to share it because she wasn’t really nice when it comes to that subject too.

The conversation was a short one but it gave me the impression that “Oh yes, great minds think alike.”…

After some time, I notice this friend and that person I don’t like start talking like buddies. And I know myself well, I don’t badmouth someone without facts, I don’t spread rumors, if it’s a real experience I will tell it without fear, now these 2 people are good friends now, and it’s not because I’m scared what my friend will tell that person what I said, I’m scared of my friend!

In my head it’s all about “Why are you doing this? You told me bad stuff about her and now you are her best friend?”, but it’s all good, not that I’m very close with that friend but at least I learned my lessons:

1) I should keep to myself about people I dislike.

2) My friend is a bitch.

Ok I am betraying myself if I still call her my friend. No way I’m gonna acknowledge her as my friend, and it’s easy for me to stop talking to her because she’s a friend with some of my enemies, so everything is going to be convenient. I’m not gonna talk much to her, and I’m not going to even wanna watch her show, what? A show? Yes, she’s a good actress and her life is a movie, so I’m just gonna get my remote control and press the “OFF” button. And off you go bitch, out of my head.

I don’t care how popular you are but if you still wanna pester me with your shitty acting skill, I will show your friends your true color, after all, the proof lies with me. So let’s be clear to each other, you don’t step on my tail, I won’t ruffle your feathers.

Yes that’s basically how I felt when I knew you’re a hypocrite towards me when you still proudly referred me as your good friend.
