The past few days have been pretty interesting.
Meeting journalists, senators and people from the finance boards.
and the occasional ungrateful Singaporean.
Somehow I always notice that Singaporeans who come to the counter for directions never listen. They hear only what they wish to hear and complete the rest.
Senario 1:
Educated looking man approaches counter shouting " Garuda! Garuda!"
So Jasmine tells him " Garuda Airlines is in Terminal 1 sir." Then he runs off in a huff.
LATER, he comes back to exert his authority!
" What? You told me it was in Terminal 2. I drove all the way to T2 and came back. If you don't know, say don't know. Highly incompetent!" and storms off.
*restrains colleague from letting out a string of #$%@#
While waiting at the arrival belt for his friend or relative to arrive, he turns to a couple and starts rattling off about how incompetent we are and couple turns to stare at the 'highly competent' info desk.
My sole advice to Mr Know-it-all is to LISTEN!
My counter comprises of mainly:
the mindef guys-Darryl & Willip
the inseperable duo: Jasmine (Anthony's sister) & Qian Lin
V for vincent and the other CSEs.
Most of the delegates were pretty understanding and friendly.
There was this delegate from Senegal-Africa who was waiting for a friend, we chatted for almost half and hour. For a minute I would exhuast my knowledge about Singapore. He asked everything from dialects to pronounciations, and the size of Singapore.
Met Cedric at the airport. Hmm. he works there!
Popeyes is pretty good. Love the whipped potato and the coselaw!
The biscuits are actually scone-thingy, pretty munchy and tastes great with the jam.
The staff canteen's kway chap, hokkien mee and cai fan is good.
The MIX concept is from HK and they have good juices and wrapps.
They've got an outlet in T1, transit and Raffles city basement.
Tried the detox juice- cucumber, wheatgrass, apple and carrot.
3 sizes: wee, wow & whoa.
haha!
thinking of signing up for Real estate valuation for gems.
I want a keyboard.
1 more week till school reopens!
:(
Dreaming of a new day ahead!;
Just making my way through the crowd
