1st day of work at Robinson Raffles City was tiring. My feet are all numb from standing the whole day. I was deployed to the towels section where I fold and keep them tidy. Of coz there was the job of answering quiries to the customers. It was a tedious job, folding that is. The towels were messed up quickly and had to be refolded again and again.
Folding the towels is easy but dusty. Yup. My nose was itchy the whole time and my hair trapped some of the dust..yuck... My work hours are 10am-10pm..whole day!! There was a sale of a dollar hand towel. They were all sold out before lunch time. I ate bread for luch and dinner. The food there was too expensive. Basically at least 5 dollars per meal..that makes a total of 10 dollars per day for the meals...wow... posted by gonnie at 10:50 PM

I attended my friend's 21st birthday party this evening. I have never seen her for 2 years plus...At the party I saw some friends who I had also not seen for ages too. We talked about what we did and what are we doing currently. Nice chat.
It was a pink party. Everyone has to wear pink...><. The food was great. Yummy. But the place was hard to find. I 跟縱 a family to the chalet. Took my chance and I was lucky. Many pple were there when I reached. Talking about luck..I was super lucky during this morning's soccer session. I scored 6 goals...diaoz..Normal days I could hardly score any goals and this morning I actually scored 6...My friends were all shocked..lol..LUCKY!! posted by gonnie at 11:47 PM

I attended Singapore Polytechnic Concert Band Concert 5 hours ago. I went with Nicholas and Sean, both who graduated from SP a yr ago. They are now serving the nation. I ORDed.
AnYway, Sean went to get flowers and a cute toking toy from Funan florist. Newly opened. He bought them for 28bucks (WOW!!) for his GF performing. I saw many 老朋友!! Been a couple of years since I saw some of them. They were looking well and some are going to be enlisted to the Army. Yup. Serving the NAtion. The concert was good. Really. I think is better than last year's MD. Horns were powerful and clear. Amazingly, there were like over 10 horn players. But they sounded unison and precise. The flutes chorales were great. Texture of the chords can be heard. Great job!! The whole band sounds good generally. Chords were heard. The colour of them. The texture, the timbre. I love the endings. FOr slow ones, they ended nicely. Yeh. In the order of high, middle and than bass parts. Beautiful. Clarinets need to be heard more and some parts the whole band generally sounded unclear. But is good concert. I enjoyed it very much. One particular piece brought back my memories. Theatre Music. The band played this piece this evening. I played this during my 2000 SP band tour a few years back. It was one of the music for the Australian competition. The other piece was Singapura Suite. We performed these 2 pieces in the Sydney Opera House!! The tour spanned about 1 week. It was really fun. THose were the days... The concert ended at 730pm. Few of us hang around in the concert hall. THen 5 of us, Nicholas, Leon, me, Regina and Jessica went off to Raffles City for dinner. We ate at Burger King. We chatted over everything, from computers to MSN to Bitorrents, etc. All of us spilt up around 9pm. posted by gonnie at 10:25 PM

All those who attended last evening dinner. 全家幅!! We left at 10pm. We faced another problEm..where are we going now? It seems everyone was reluctant to go back home..so they discussed and I sat at some bench. 1030pm, they reached their conclusion. We would be going to Pee's house to play. Yup over-nite.
