I've finally found a job!!
Thanks to Wenjie... both me and Zanxuan can start work on Monday at Han's restaurant at the Budget Terminal! Pay is normal normal la... at $5 per hour... but looks easy leh.. Its self-service de.. so we just need to work over the counter.. no need to serve tables.. Yeah.. hehe... And the manager is such a nice person.. She talks to us as if we were her daughters.. in an absolutely motherly tone and with a tinge of humour.. and she seems to adore Wenjie a lot... keep telling us how smart and how obedient he is.. haha.. just like a mother complimenting her son... And btw, the Budget Terminal really looks "run-down" compared to Terminal 1 and 2... From outside it looks like a huge supermarket with a gigantic carpark in front of it... Thats all.. Inside you get nothing of the nice waterfalls, fountains, flowers, bubble lifts etc. that can be found in T1 and T2.. Its just plain plain de... with a few check-in counters.. But reasonable la.. Its supposed to be BUDGET mah..

At the airport.. other than landing myself a job at Han's.. I was amused by the number of field studies students i met... It was so coincidental lor... I was walking around in Terminal 2 while waiting for Zanxuan to come cos she was late.. Then i saw people walking around with clipboards appraoching people to do survey.. So i knew it must be THEM!! Haha.. i recalled how i was doing the same thing exactly one year ago... how fun.. I didnt see anyone i know la actually... except for this guy called Vincent who is Zhiliang's friend.. whom i know as a super smart guy.. and looks not too bad la... I saw him with his group member at Starbucks.. but obviously he doesnt recognize me.. Then later when me and Zanxuan were at the Budget Terminal we met with another one.. This guy came over to me thinking im a tourist.. Haha.. Before he could say another word i asked him, "You are from NUS, the field studies module right?" .. he was so shocked to hear this and asked me, "How you know??" Hahaha.. so funny.. I told him i was from the previous batch of this module and i was ever willing to help him do his survey.. but he only had the survey forms for tourists.. but anyway he still sat down and we even had a chat... His name is John.. a Maths major (?!)... and his group is doing a project on extreme sports in Singapore (interesting...)..

Later me and Zanxuan went to Orchard cos she wants to find a swimsuit at the Isetan private sale... At Taka i met another few more of THEM!! Haha... Its fate.. hmm.. hehe.. I was about to start eating my Takopachi wheni heard a person calling my name so darn loudly.. i turned around and saw Aidan! Haha.. he is another one of THEM lor.. whom i sort of know personally.. So i was eating my stuffs while he told me about his project while waiting for me to finish up my food so i can fill up his survey form.. haha.. His group's project is about Singapore as a romantic getaway for honey-mooners .. wooooooh.. Something im absolutely interested in.. heheh.. I gave him quite a number of ideas from my own experience... eerrrhemmm.. hehe.. hope it was useful... But Singapore really not many romantic places la... cos everywhere is crowded!! My first definition of romantic is seclusion and serenity.. which is scarce here la.. so sad for Singaporean couples rite...

After we finished eating.. me and Zanxuan went to the Isetan private sale... Its "private" cos its only for Isetan members.. She is one la.. so i just tagged along with her... Wah lau never see Isetan SO CROWDED before... packed to the brim with crazy women.. Im sad to say that i was one of them.. But i didnt want to go de! Zanxuan made me go de! .. hehee.. Anyway we met our secondary school classmate, Tze Min, while we were there.. Another coincidence of the day.. Then at the swimsuit section we saw an interesting "commotion".. A heavily pregnant woman was intending to buy a swimsuit while her husband apparently didnt find it a good investment.. He told his wife, "After one month then you cannot wear liao you buy for wad?!" (She is probably one month from her due date.) She replied, "But got 30 dollars off leh why cannot buy?!" Her husband tried to find another way to deter her form buying.. "Aiyah so wad.. you can fit meh? Looks so small!!" ... Then she retorted back, "You think i cannot wear?! HUR! I wear for you to see!!" Okie.. so she really go try and she really could fit it.. Haha.. Her husband attempted one last time, "But after you give birth le then dun fit le wad..." Then she said, "EH you see ah.. After i give birth le still can wear lor.. i just wear a bra underneath and then wear this top piece over.. its just like a normal top! Can wear to beach ah!" Her husband was left speechless after that... Haha.. So whats the moral of the story? Guys, do not attempt to argue with a girl when she is set on buying something, it doesnt work! Hahaha...
