Uneventful days
So the days just go by... nothing much really happen. and all the mindless trudging means not much time to think too, though that isn't necessarily a bad thing. but tt takes out most of the things i blog bout. guess i won't be updating too often...
wednesday had first aid. kinda fun haha. learnt how to do cpr and tie bandages though i seriously doubt i can do them effectively. but still, quite informative. exco selection starts next week... hope it'd go well.
then today was selected to attend a talk by the south african president at shangrila. wow, first thing after alighted from the bus i saw a real ferrari for the first time in my life... wow... then next to it immediately recognised a lotus. again another first. finally saw a bentley later... gosh...
actually was actually looking to learning sth from the talk (in addition to being able to pon lessons lah). but was really tired then. and he had to talk like a boring lecturer about issues i don't really understand. so after bout 5min of his speech i prompty fell asleep and never really woke up until it ended. could feel the flashlights from the press taking photos but too tired to even open my eyes. hope won't see myself in papers/news programme dozing away haha. saw goh chok tong too lol. my, he's really tall.
shangri-la's nice... lobby's just so big... first time inside really though passed through a few times. knew it was posh but never knew so posh... but the staff uniforms just look horrible haha. oh well, i digress. ballroom's pretty hot too.
chatted with eric online just now. great to hear from him! haven't done so since that day at the airport even though have been seeing him online for the past few days. but just wonderful to catch up and talk though it'd just be so much nicer if it could have been in person. oh well. til next time
