there's no SIT tut this week, so my gp had decided to make use of the time to go to our fieldtrip destination(s)... guess where we went??? haha... CHINATOWN... =_=" i know it's quite boring.. but im proud (we are all proud) that we can spend one whole day (abt 9hrs) there ok... and it was my first visit to the chinatown heritage centre. haha. was amazed by how expensive it is! $10!!! no more student price...tsktsktsk... fellicia and lucinda kept complaining how ex it was... we only spent a while there (less than an hr). and before we stepped out of that place, we kept thinking if we had taken all the pic we need, because we want to ensure the $10 is well spent. haha. but seriously, there isn't much to see. Well, Poor peizhen and fellicia, second visit to this not-so-interesting place. anyway, when we finally walked out of it, we decided to hunt for the famous bo-lo-bao highly recommended by lucinda. So we walked and asked around, but no one knew. Finally, a customer in a boutique shop knew what we were referring to (many shop owneres did not know there's a shop that sells bo lo bao) and had even volunteered to bring us there. How nice... =) initially she thought we were tourists! LOL! but that's because of lucinda funny chinses accent la...
after we found it, we bought a few extras to bring home for our families to taste it. Fellicia bought the most..haha... After that, we were supposed to head to Kampong Glam, but we decided to skip it as it didn't seem very interesting to us. So, next up on our to-go-list, was Peranakan museum. but, we gave it a miss too....we went somewhere more interesting. KARAOKE!!! LOL. Fellicia brought us to a $10 karaoke shop, with free flow of drinks and no gst and service charge. When we reached there, it was 1.15pm. and we camped outside the shop till 2pm when it finally opened. haha.. we were just so determined. But we got a fright when the person i/c told us that we had to make appointment in advance, or wait 15min to see if the ppl who booked turns up. So we decided to give it a try and play 'spot the difference' first. finally, we got a room for 6 (so we ended up paying $12 each). Fiona was so high. And so was Fellicia. haha... we took turns to sing and they kept complaining that i didn't sing. The room was very cold, because of the super strong air con and that made us all shiver. haha. no wonder the sign outside the shop says "no sleveless shirts, singlets, slippers, shorts allowed" f.y.i that was lucinda's dress code for that day, but she was still allowed in, but she was the one who was almost froze to death too.. haha.. oh ya, i guess the most well-known singer was Jay Chou. whichever song we picked, almost everyone knew how to sing.. haven't been to kbox for a very long time, and that day we stayed till 7pm (5hrs of singing!!). after that, i got a headache...
yesterday we were supposed to meet HR consultant - Mrs Lee Chang Yang at 8.30am. but because a few of us were late, she refused to see us until the whole gp was there. but we had apel and hr tut from 9-12pm, so we had no choice but to re-schedule for another appointment, which is today 10am. Hence, the whole gp decided to meet at 9.15am and meet mrs lee at 9.30am so that we will not be late (but very early instead) and she would not be pissed. when we were finally not late and ready, she had sth on and had to see us at a later time. when we saw her at the corridor, and she did not mention anything. it was our tutor, mrs tong, who told us about it. thus, we wrote a note to meet her after our MA tut, at 1pm. as usual, our adjunct tutor always drag the lesson and we were all panicking because we can't be late! we ran up and finally on time to see her. whew.. the process of consultation was.... different. haha. cox she was in a good mood and had gave us many hints when we couldn't answer her qns. so fortunately for us, within 1 attempt, we got all the papers we need. yay! first time that my gp is so successful! haha.. normally we had to visit the consultant 2 or 3 times. my gp was damn terrified and flustered because the deadline is next wed and we could not see her any time earlier last week. so our progress was actually very lag now. we really have to spend all our time and energy on this report now. wish me luck.
