I did a delivery order to a company in the International Plaza at Tanjong Pagar.

The MINDS event turned out not to be a talk but an activity - bring the clients, mostly mentally challenged people of various ages around the school. Originally was paired up with Fiona to a man who "require special attention". However, after lunch, Ms Wee Ping mobolised her to assist Bernice who was handling an "Empress" who only walk with people holding her both sides. I am not the talking type so me and Ah Fah just walked on. Half of the time he would want to walk to a particular direction, so I tagged along. Most of the time, he would turn his head, fixing his attention to girls walking by, sometimes stopped to look on.
Later, at the coin phone booth at the right hand side of the auditorium, he rushed into the toilet. I stopped him but he pointed his finger up to the male toilet sign. However, the toilet was painted pink, with the female toilent sign opposoite of the male one. Too late to stop, bo bian have to wait. Worse was that a female staff wanted to enter the toilent. She eyed me suspiciously as I explained. Until he came out, she still had the dregded look, not speaking even once.
28th September 07
Went to the company's storage to get some goods.
29th September 07
My accounting friend decided to jio me to meet up to relax before commencing on a big project. He treated me Fish & Co. at AMK Hub. We stuffed ourselves, especially on the grilled calamari which we had not expected the large quantity given.
Next, we took a taxi to Expo Hall 8 for the afternoon session of the City Harvest Church (CHC). Still don't like the rock concert thing but the sermon was interesting. It was on the reason to tithe, on the topic of giving what is valuable instead of junks.
After that, Friend's cell group and I went to Clark Quey's Riverside Indonesian Restaurant for dinner. Not really spicy which was good. Calamari was there but I did not touch. I tried every other dishes. They were good, especially the steamed fish which practically no body touched it, therefore I devoured 3/4 of it.
Finally, Sherine, the cell group's leader, Alex, cell group's member, Feiend and I went to the Mind's Cafe. We played I'm the Boss. I had sort of won, at least a tie between 3 players. Friend felt bad for taking Sherine out of the game since the beginning. She warned that Friend would "get it during cell group meeting". Heh, seem that both me and her are into antagonizing people. Of course it was me who had started it. Well, 2 well-versed game players versus 2 casual players. Friend had to leave, so I tagged along for the taxi.
When asked by Friend whether I had enjoyed myself, standard reply was "ok loh" which meant at least my time was not wasted.
First day of work at Universal Wellness Pte Ltd, a company which its office is located on the 5th floor of Block Q, opposite of the food laboratory and next to Silliker. At the moment, the coconut oil -selling company has 3 people, The boss, Mr Heng, who patented a technology to fractionate coconut oil which has a melting point at 4 degree Celsius, against to conventional 25 and 10 degree Celsius. Tang Qian, friend of Ling Yang, is the pillar of support of the company because the 3rd is me. I was tasked to search the Internet to find distributors of other countries to extend the reach of the Cocos products. Frankly, that was boring as there ain't sufficient physical movement or thinking to keep me awake.
18th September 07
Routine of netting went on. Fortunately, spent about 2 hours in the afternoon to fill some oil into bottles using beaker and funnel for cosmetic/message oil.
19th September 07
Work was netting. Starting to be able to filter away junk results and able to decide the relevance of the search result. However, those emails sent had mostly yield no replies.
After work, Alvin (?), Ms Wee Ping's boyfriend, drove us, including Ling Yang, who revealed that she went along somewhat "reluctantly", to Aloha chalet. That place was really bad, fancy its company hoard up the revenue instead on improving its lack of housekeeping and its peeling walls. The BBQ was those usual stuff, with 2 big plates of cooked prawns left over.
On my walk to home after slept through the bus 72 from Tampines to Yio Chu Kang, these were taken, without any photoshop, at 5X zoom as too close it jumped away.

20th September 07
Same old routine in office.
21st September 07
In the morning went for Project 1 marketing tour. I was late, by the time I reached Fatimah, Hui En and See Hui had finished the Chinese one. Bing Lin, hmmm....as usual (?) was not really aware of this until the night before so he was out of commission, anyway got driving theory test and work. We went to the Indian one but nothing much to see, in my opinion. Reached school at 1pm and started to dig the Internet again...null replies as usual.
22nd September 07
Met Hui En and Fatimah at Paya Lebar MRT station. See Hui was still in slumber so was Bing Lin. He came while we told See Hui to sleep on. The Malay market was no different. This shows the success of PAP government: integration of races.
It all ended at 9am and I was supposed to meet Desmond and gang for the card game Munchkin, I slept through the bus ride to Pasir Ris. Picked up coupons for McDonald's and ordered a breakfast set and spent my time reading Today, the newspaper.
Outside Ochard MRT station, a skimpily-clothed lady was distributing gold bars...with a piece of flyer inside.

Stay-home-gaming-day.
24th September 07
Ms Wee Ping jio-ed me for lunch, together with Ling Yang and another teacher. She has a plan for the 1-hour-per-month-with-mentor-class-activity which needs my assistance. Lunch was on her as Block 505. The deer meat I ate was tender which was good. She must have fruits after meal or else feel
25 September 07
Started getting used to netting but the sleepiness is hard to get by. Bought Willy Wonka Everlasting Gobstoppers Candy to combat it. Towards end of the day then realised that to day is Mid-Autumn Festival. Not Mooncake or Lantern Festival hor!
Last day of examination. Some of us went to Suntec to get some donuts at the Donut Factory. Then went for Carl's Jr. Later, me, Binglin, Yun Xuan, Li Juan, Fiona, Esther and Jerold went for bowling. I had my usual initial lucky shots, then plenty of misses.
1st Week of September
I bought the card game Citadels. For that week, I had multiple gaming sessions with both my NS friends and the group of Bing Lin, Esther, Yun Xuan and Eunice. Definitely better than Fluxx.
Also, did some signing up with job agencies. The rest of them did received calls but not me. May be discrimination against me, then Singapore Permanent Resident?
10th September
I became Singaporean.
12th September
Went to school to play Citadels with Bing Lin and his CCA mates. Saw Ms Wee Ping and the food laboratory assistant (Ling Yang?). I mentioned my lack of calls, then Ling Yang said that a company in school had vacancy.
14th September
Went to school to take a look at the job at Universal Wellness Pte Ltd. Mainly administrative jobs and occasional stock-taking and transporting of products. Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, 17th September to 12 October. Pay according to NYP's attachment/internship rate of S$400 per month. Smitten by the necessity to wear formal wear. As a company handling food, that translate to 5 pairs of clothes. Have to spend money for the job...
Met Desmond for dinner at KFC. The Spicy Lime Hot Devil Drumlet is not flavourly intense enough for me.
15th September
Went to Robinsons to spend my $60 voucher. Asked a newbie for the cheapest shirts available. He suggested the 2 for $69 only valid for solid colours of a particular brand, originally cost $89 each. Unsure, he asked his colleagues and they replied cheapest as $89 each...I would not have known about the 2 for $69 as there was no signs regarding this "promotion".
16th September
Went to KFC for lunch. The Spicy BBQ Hot Devil Drumlet was another disappointment, albeit a little better than the Spicy Lime Hot Devil Drumlet.
Illegal Gathering in Ang Mo Kio
We are they up to? Gambling? Nah, just for a dancing toy...Grown Ups...haiz...
Snack that Taste Bad
Ok, it does not taste bad, just weird.
Instant Noodles that Taste Good
Ok, Nissin Instant Noodles are superior to the norm. By the way, it takes more than 10 years for the curry flavour to come to Singapore. I had been eating that when I was still in Hong Kon g in year 1997.
