Some random thoughts that I have... Just wanna share my good, bad and even weird 'experiences' for the past weeks here.
TODAY:
I had a good lunch with my colleagues today, Darren and ChengHuat. We went to Chinatown for some local food since they have a visitor from Taiwan (astig ang pangalan nya-Sting! hehe.) We ate chicken curry noodle at this particular stall in a hawker centre which they said was the best in Singapore. The stall has a long queue (yes, it's queue and not line! ;P). It actually takes a while until you can order. The taste is different but I like it. It's not something that you'll be eating everyday, but still it's worth trying especially when you're into spicy foods.
After lunch, we went around the medicine shops to get Ba Ku Teh spices for Sting's friends in Taiwan. The shops have some weird dried stuff and herbs. A dried flying squirrel or bat has caught my attention. Imagine a bat or a squirrel na 'nakatihaya' tas pinatuyo parang danggit! eeewww! Apparently, it was a traditional medicine which the guy said was effective for kidneys. I don't care lah! haha. Kadiri!
It was a long way back to the office. We took the MRT from Chinatown station to Orchard. I didn't mind taking the train as it was still convenient and hassle free. Besides, I got the chance to hang out more with the boys. I had good conversations with them on our way back. :) We talked about how am I doing in Singapore and my first impression of the people in the office. I said I was surprised that they were all friendly. I wasn't expecting it. And Darren said: "Actually, you're friendly yourself too." O dba, friendly pa rin pala ako! =P
And because of that, I had a big smile the whole afternoon!
AT POSB BANK:
I was planning to open a USD account a couple of weeks ago:
Customer Service Agent: Yes, can I help you?
osang: yeah, I would like to open a dollar account.
CSA: A dollar account?? Just ONE dollar???
osang: No, I want to open a US dollar account.
Ok, my bad. I forgot that the denomination here is also dollar... but A DOLLAR? as in one dollar to open an account???
AT A MOVIE HOUSE:
We were watching Monsters vs Aliens last week with Sean's family in Downtown East... I went out the movie house for a while to get a seat booster for Sim (Sean's 3-yr old nephew) and to buy some nachos. On my way back, I placed the nachos and the drink on top of the seat booster, so I can carry all of them much easier. In other words, I used the seat booster as a tray. Inside the cinema, I was searching for my seat carefully when a girl called me. She thought I was delivering her the food she ordered (akala nya waiter ako). I said, no it's mine. But I think she didn't hear what I said, and she was insisting that the food was hers.... Sa inis ko, natarayan ko na sya at nasigawan. "NO, IT'S MINE!!!"
