A day in the life of a BOUNCER

"WAHH!!! Andrew... your body so big and tough... i think you can become a bouncer leh"

I've heard that since i was primary 6... as a kid, i never gave much thought to those comments that i hear about me becoming a bouncer.
Those comments were told to me by my mom... sister... and relatives that i meet during the new year.

Growing older... i thought maybe becoming a bouncer is actaully quite cool. When i club or pub, i would see these big-sized (aka quite fat) guys standing at the door... i always wondered how cool it would be if it were me standing there instead...

Well... my little dream of became reality...
At 7.30pm... i was hanging out at Holland V and a friend of mine gave me a call...
"PANG!!! you wanna work as bouncer or not?"

At that very moment, i just had to take that job... being over-eager and excited... i asked how long i must work for...
"Just today... cos the bouncer sick"

Even better... just for the experience and bragging rights... its like a 1-night stand thing... woohoo!

Reached the club... i saw the place was packed... than my friend came up to me and said,
"okay... wear this tie and report to this guy"

Reporting over... my job was to guard that stage entrance... No one is allowed to enter except the band members.
I thought it was pretty cool. So i stood there like a terracota solider.

1 hour went pass... legs ached... (be a man) that was what i told myself...

2 hours went pass... legs, knees, ankles ached... (ok... its not as easy as i thought i would be)

3 hours went by... everything ached now... (fuck! what the shit did i get myself into)

4 hours went by... everything STILL aching... (wah lau... when is my shift going to end man)

5th hour came... (woohoo... going to end already... maybe got fight later i can try my boxing skills)


When the job ended... i had free softdrinks... my manager offered me beer and other alcoholic beverage... but i prefer to be sober (that because i cannot drink at all)
I got driven home by the office transport van.

I felt that it was an experience of a lifetime... I guess i would not be a bouncer at the moment... maybe after i've lost some weight and gain some muscles... i might consider the job again..
All in all, i felt it was GREAT!

Took home: 35 bucks (i know its little... but hey its cash) and
a great experience plus bragging rights =)

PS: there was no fight... because it was an aunty and uncle cha-cha club... haha!
