No … there ain’t no typo in the title. It is SEEFOOD. What the heck is ‘seefood’? Read on …

I am not sure if this happens elsewhere in the world but I’ve seen it happening here in Singapore and recently when I was in Hong Kong … especially when I was in Disneyland and Ocean Park … such ‘seefood’ activities seem to be the ‘in’ thing! Dammit! Oh, let me explain more about it …

Have you ever sat down in a food court and then realise some clowns walking past … and will slow down to STARE at your food? Yeah! STARE! Instead of taking a quick glimpse of your food, they will slow down (and some even bloody stop right behind you!) to SEE what you are eating. See? That’s what SEEFOOD means! Dammit! Sometimes they just stand behind/beside you, STARE at your food … and discuss with whoever beside them about your food! Yeah! Discuss! Dammit! Rude!!! If they could keep their distance and I don’t notice, then I don’t really mind. The problem is they are usually very near … and that really *I’ll try not to use the 4-letter-word here* pisses me off!

You’ll read more about the horrifying experience I had in Hong Kong further down this page. These photos were taken at the food center in Ocean Park while I was waiting for my wife to buy lunch. They were all taken at the same location, same table where a lady was eating her lunch. These were taken in a very short time and I guess by the time the lady finishes her meal … about half a million people already stared at her food. I saw a bowl on her table but I don’t know what it is. I didn’t wanna know … in case some idiot takes a photo of me and write a similar blog entry somewhere. Haha.

See what I mean? What the hell? Do these people think the person eating there is some kind of exhibit? Or rather ‘is the food some kind of exhibit’?

Okay … here’s a (true) story about what happened to me (and family) when we were in Disneyland. It was drizzling and we decided to order some Japanese ramen and some dumplings for late lunch. Fitzand was sleeping, so I proceeded to order the food while my wife grabbed a seat near the entrance. Nothing interesting so far. Food was pretty good and we slowly enjoyed our lunch on a cold cold day.

Halfway through lunch … suddenly a few other tourists appeared right beside us. Yeah … they stood there (damn near!) and stared. We ignored them (although you can actually see my middle finger pointing right at them) but after a while … one of them asked us ‘how much is that noodle?’. We were stunned. Damn. Can’t they just walk right up to the counter and see the menu & price for themselves? Okay fine! We told them ’10 bucks’ and ignored them again. They didn’t leave! They stood there … discussed among themselves for a while and then asked ’10 bucks for all these?’. We had 2 bowls of noodles, a plate of dumplings and 2 bottles of orange juice. What the hell makes them think they can get all these for 10 bucks in Disneyland? Okay … being nice people … we replied that 10 bucks is just for one bowl of noodle.

It ain’t over yet! Then they looked at each other and mumbled something and suddenly … one of them (an old woman) pointed her (dirty) finger at our plate of dumplings. Her finger was like 3 inches away from the dumplings! That was when I snapped. She did ask something but I don’t recall answering her but I just shoo-ed her away like flies with my hand. They probably knew we were pissed and they walked off (slowly) with their eyes still looking at us our food.

So bloody horrible … ain’t it? What the … *roll eyes*

I better stop here before I get too angry again. The thought of it drives me crazy. This is one reason why I always find seats at tables that are not near the entrance or aisle when I’m in food courts. I don’t want to be some guy holding a food exhibition for some dumbass people to stare at. It’s maybe also the reason why I prefer fast food. People don’t really have to stare at your Big Mac to decide if they should eat it. Hmm … or do people do that? Well if people do that … maybe we can get McDonald’s to put some 3D models of their burgers and fries at the entrance. Then they can put a small large sign beside it that says ‘THESE ARE FRIES!!!’.

Time to go to bed and wake up with less anger. Hahaha. This is probably my first blog entry that’s tagged with the word ‘HATE’. Oh by the way … I just hate such rude behaviours … I am not anti-social. Haha.
