Him (upon sitting down after round 1): Shit! Shit! Shit! Stupid KDU, stupid restaurant, stupid lecturer, stupid food.
Me: Excuse me, I’m sorry. I’m having my food; please don’t use the “S” word.
Him: You don’t like you can leave.
Me: Are you going to pay for my food? If this place is so bad, why don’t you leave?
Him: Are you going to pay my performance fees? Look, I don’t want to have this conversation, I’m in bad mood.
Me: At your current mood you are doing disservice to your clients.
Him: Who are my clients? I’m here because my friend the bartender asks me to. I’m in bad mood because the restaurant manager scolded me for bringing 2 helpers. (I don’t fault him here. As a non-SHTCA person, he wouldn’t have known that food portions are limited and budget tightly controlled. Maybe he expect food to fall from the sky or appear by magic)
Me: OK then, let’s change the topic.
[END OF STORY]
Comments: My memory is not that good to recall the conversation verbatim but the 3 shits and stupid this, stupid that is definitely there. He’s supposed to sing 3 rounds but left after eating his complimentary food at end of round 1. He throw tantrum because the restaurant manager scolded him. What if later in life a judge scolds him? How many times can he afford to be cited for contempt of court? I think he’s throwing tantrums because he’s the type of prima donna that likes lots of attention but no one pay him any notice. For a lawyer wannabe, his arguments that night seems to be weak and lame. Don’t you think so?
hey, i agree with the point of view that his arguements were weak, but the point is as a performer and the person in charge of the concept dinner should take not that he will be the one performing on the day itself...
ReplyDeleteThere should be a negotiation between the party of organizing the concept dinner with him in order to compromise stuff...
from the dinner it shows that he was being invited by his friend, who was the bartender, to perform during the concept dinner, but somehow there goes the misunderstandings there...
