i seem to have chosen the wrong topic.

"Compare and evaluate the development of the historic ethnic thematic zones of Chinatown and Little India. Which in your opinion will provide a better visitor experience and why?"

me, having not activated my brain for almost 4-5 months, misinterpreted the question!
haha.

so dear readers, what do u think this question is asking?
what do you think should be the main focus of discussion?

chinatown? little india?
*tsk tsk tsk*
if so, you're the same! haven't been using your brains! haha.
ok ok, maybe you thought of something else, i'm just plain stupid and slow.

the main focus of discussion is supposed to be historical ethnic thematic zone!
not just limited to ctown n little india.
so what the hell is historical ethnic thematic zone?
would it be the same as heritage & cultural tourism?
singapore seems to be the only place that started this type of things. hahaha.
it's ok, i will search further and find an answer!

where has my enthusiasm gone?

i'm damn bored .
i'm damn bored . .
i'm damn bored . . .
i'm damn bored . . . .
i'm damn bored . . . . .
i'm damn bored !!!!!!!!

goshhh............ where have all the flights gone to?
T###!!
i meant T3. hahaha.
seriously, all the more happening flights are departing from T3!
places like usa, canada, european countries, japan, korea, taiwan, hongkong, australia and nz . . .
how about T2? all the boring boring flights!
like egypt, south africa, russia, turkey, middle east, india and her neighbours, and our best friends from ASEAN.
really.... after T3 opened, hardly any soul come to T2.
i'm so bored at my counter.
it's 1am now and all the shops surrounding me have already brought their shuttles down.
since i started work, it's been so boring!
total number of pax i served today is 30 only!
9 hrs and i served 30 only?? tt's damn little and pathetic..........
really nothing else better to do.
no brochures for me to unpack, little brochures for me to top up, no brochures for me to order, very little people for me to serve.
worse of all, no pretty girls to see!!!
it's damn boring can?????? hahaha.

so what about my colleague?
it's tami loh!
for the past week i've been seeing her and doing closing shift with her until i nth more to say to her. hahahahaha.

it's kinda ironic.
the chocolate shop in front of my counter dun have any pretty girls!
there's only 1 good looking one and she doesnt seem to be working today.
the rest are like . . . . . .
hahahah! they're selling chocolates leh!!! and no pretty girls? gosh............
ok ok, i sound so hum sup.
but i really nothing else better to do now!
hmmmm... maybe i really have . . . . . .

quite no mood to write portfolio now.
wrote like a few good paragraphs and i lost my drive.

the only other thing that i did, which was productive, was reading the jamming material. haha!
ok, i'm supposed to read it ages before this morning, but i've only managed to read and digest half of it just now.
still have round 2 jamming on week 4..

i'm so sian .
so sian . . .

wooah.
i'm reporting live now at transit 1.
today work is full of fun and adventure! haha.

just now a jap tourist came, so funny.
i couldnt speak jap, so obviously as usual i called up my colleague Ee.
she needed to buy some medication as she was having a headache.
since she couldnt speak english, i brought her to the pharmacy to buy the medicine.
i walked out of my counter, and walked with full confidence of my direction.
as i walked, i was wondering 'where is guardian? why can't i find it? it's supposed to be somewhere here . . . . . .'
i called tami and asked 'where is guardian ar?? why can't i find it?'
'where u go? it's just in front of our counter behind burberry ma.'
'oh shit!! hahaha, i brought her to the 'C' side!'
so pai seh man!
i didn't know what to say, so i apologised to the lady.
'gomenasai gomenasai, ano . . . it's over there (act paiseh)'
hahaha.

finally reaching guardian, the pharmacist asked about her condition, which i couldn't translate to the obasan.
so i called Ee again, and found out that she wasnt having a headache, but stomach uncomfortable cos she drank too much alcohol. haha!
in the end, she bought the medication and was very thankful.

even though it wasnt required for me to bring my visitor around to get their stuff, i felt quite good and satisfied after helping her.
i guess this is what they call Go the Extra Mile for Service (GEMS). haha.

TERMINAL 3!!
everything there is finally opened!
went for a walk just now at t3 transit mall.
damn shoiK!! so fun and exciting!
it was filled with sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many people from all over the world and the feeling is so different!
i walked from t1 to t3.
my first step onto the carpet of t3 is like going through a new transformation!
the carpet is so new and feels a bit slippery.
the lighting is bright and fresh and all the chairs look soooooooooooooooo cushy!
there are so many shops inside the transit mall that it looks like another shopping centre!
imagine being on transit in a shopping mall with many comfortable cushioned chairs calling out to you to plant your butt there! haha.
and in the middle of the mall, there is a mini performance playing some smooth jazz & bossa nova.

there's a section where it's like a mini resort with armchairs for you to lie on
imagine a place shaded by trees, with rays of soft sunlight sparsely reaching onto the ground and the sound of cool running water to calm your senses.
like "aahhhhh~~~ . . ."

apart from these, T3 transit is almost like a mini clarke quay minus clubbing.
soooooooooooooo many eating outlets and quite a number of restaurants.
they have harry's bar, hard rock cafe, brewerks and several other smaller bars.
there's one restaurant called 'iLido' (i think) hanging humongous hams on their display window!
it's as if the flintstones use it for clubbing. haha.

overall, it's a totally new experience.
'take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty!'

look at hyde, his so damn short! hahahaha.

kinda gay to post some pictures of 4 guys.
but i'm not gay, they're just so damn cool!
music is good. hahahaha.

i've been thinking about my future.
so what do i want to do?
i want to travel around the world! haha.
thinking about being an air steward.
apart from 'konnichiwa, how can i help you?', i can fly around the globe!
on top of that, it's basic salary + allowance. good money!

however, what's the price that i need to pay?
may not have time to enjoy the place i fly to.
work when everyone's off, and off when everyone's at work.
may get calls at 3am in the morning to pack up and get ready to fly all of the sudden.
get my body infested with radiation in the sky.
miss home-cooked meals.
affect serving in church.
can't attend cell regularly.
can't go service regularly.
hai, such a big trade off.

apart from an air steward, thinking of pursuing music!
but i'm alrdy 19 now, still have to serve NS.
by then i would be abt 22.
and i don't have any music certs or grades.
just an uncertified lousy musician. haha.
well, i can continue to build castles in the air for that..

what about office job?
they're kinda boring, but i can go to church, continue serving, get off days when my friends are off as well.
but this type of life for me now is so mundane and boring.
i hate the 9-6 timing from mon-fri.

raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

which path should take?
the path that everyone else is taking, or pursue my interest?
oh Lord, can't this be made easier if u just tell me?
(just no mission work. hahahahaha.)

yay! i passed my FTT!
thank God for that! =)
i booked my practical test date on 6th june, i wonder if i can make it by then.... haha.

driving is not easy for me.
kinda hard to multi-task.
have to watch my front, check blind spots, check my back, look out for pedestrians, change gear when stopping, careful not to stall when stopping etc.

i think the most difficult thing for me now is getting the car moving!
firstly, have to fully depress clutch, then have to step accelerator.
but stepping the accelerator cannot step too hard, it's just lightly tap.
then after that half-clutch, find biting point, and step more accelerator.
sounds easy, but if u always play daytona, just jam the accelerator! haha!

i always have problems tapping the accelerator lightly.
and sometimes i end up releasing the clutch too fast, causing it to stall.
while trying to feel and coordinate my legs, i have to watch the traffic.
and sometimes when the cars at the back horn at me, it makes me a bit nervous. haha.

i think medical checkup is fun! haha.
but not the final computer test part.

first thing was drawing blood!
i always hear friends saying that the medics there are noob, dunno how to draw blood, anyhow draw, poke wrongly blah blah blah.
but the medic who drew my blood seems quite alright.
it's true that they all look super noob and i think they might be.
luckily he only needed to poke once.
it's quite interesting to see my blood flow into the capsule.
looks like ribena.
wonder how it taste like. hahahahaha.

total i spent abt 6 hrs there.
everything was damn smooth until at the end.
queuing to use the computer to do the final test.
i think after that test today my IQ must have been really low.
every section there was a time limit, and some sections i couldn't finish in time.
damn frustrating!
maybe it's due to me not using enough of my brains lately..
and they asked maths questions!!!
i cant believe i didnt finish that section as well..
apart from maths, physics!! like WTH!! haha.
FYI, i failed all my physics CAs during sec 3 & 4.
the only times i pass were during SAs.
but surprisingly i got A2 during o levels.. haha.
anw, so what???
in the end i just clicked my way through.

the worse thing is, there was one section i completely don't understand what i am supposed to do!
the instructions on the computer was so vague and hard to comprehend.
i was like "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wth.........................."
(plus squeezing the computer screeen) hahaha.
really can lose patience one.

anw, i'm in PES A.
i hope after that brilliant computer test section i wun get into commandos or sth equivalent. haha.

life is sick.
hahahaha!
whatever.
i don't even know why i'm typing this.

perak trip photos! damn cool!
shall post it another time... hahah.
the thought of uploading the photos is just so troublesome.. maybe tml i'll do it?

NS medical checkup tml!
final theory test on tues!
lot's of things to do.

portfolio due soon, mini project for stb, final e-journal, choosing topic for contemporary H&T issues . . .

this post is kinda pointless, right? haha.
