Orientation

Enjoyed these 2 days of orientation programme~
Cos this means i don't need to be stuck in the office doing the mundane work~~ lolx...

These 2 days of orientation programme quite shiok.
Yesterday went to National Library for a short tour around it. Didn't know there are s many heritage collections there. Almost like a museum sia.

Ended at 5pm yesterday, was quite happy cos this means i can go home earlier (my usual office hours end at 6.30pm). So lalala... i was on the train... Then at redhill station, my colleague called me, " Yiling, i thought you are at the NL? You went off already ar?? Can you come back and help us? We need people!"

Sighs... there goes my dream of reaching home early....yes dream, cos it's no longer a reality. So i turned back with a heavy heart...

In the end, the talk was not too bad... They provide free food and i had fun chatting with this colleagues. Plus there are 4 very 'interesting' individuals.

After the talk got 1 uncle came to me and gave a few feedbacks, about the microphone, the food and the talk. Then later our colleague P, told us that he can already identify 4 people who are not right up there, and that uncle is one of them. Then we were quite shocked, because everyone seemed decent to us. Then he told us about these 4 characters. 1 would always go around and introduce herself as an English teacher, and get phone numbers from the speakers, the authors and so on. But in actual fact, she's actually an umployed lady who always go to the library borrowing the book called memories of life or something. True enough, she was there... talking about that book, and asking for phone numbers... P was damn zun man..

The 2nd one was the most classic one.. P told us she would always tabao all the food back after the events. At first we don't believe, cos she really looked sane and decent and all... Then later, we saw her in action, she tooked her ntuc plastic bags and clear, yes literally cleared all the trays of food~~ Then P was really bad la.. when the lady walked to the lift, with her bags of food... He exclaimed loudly (on purpose)... "Oh NOOoooooo.....!!!! WHERE ARE MY CHICKEN WINGS?!!??!!!" Though she could be the type who really hated to see food being wasted, but the whole scene was really damn funny man... Lol.. And the thought of lumping the chicken wings, samosas, chocolate eclairs and cheese cake all into two plastic bags.... seems a little ... ok nvm.

The other 2 was less extreme. 1 of them always give his feedback after the talks, and P mimicked what the guy always say in his feedback... All i can say is that it was totally uncanny..because that was what that guy told me exactly!! Lol.. The last one is the quiet kind most of the time, but when he gets frustrated he would shout out hysterically in public...

So it's really quite interesting to hear such stories...

And as for today, we went around the main libraries to tour and understand the functions of these libraries.. quite cool... esp the esplanade one.. Can borrow music scores, cds, movies and even screenplay scripts sia...They also allow the public to showcase their piano performance at their open stage.. So cool lo!!

Quite an eye opener today...

Okay.. Will talk another time...
I'm tired man... everyday lack of sleep sia...
Tata!
