::what a day!::
I'm so tired today. Woke up at 6am this morning because there was this Econs Seminar at NYP. I was quite surprised by the turnout. There were so many people! My friends and I were nearly the last few to go into the auditorium. (Majority of the girls were late.) When we opened the door leading to the auditorium, we were rather surprised by the amount of people inside and had no choice but to sit at the 2nd row in front. Not exactly the best spot cos I had to tilt my head up so high to look at the screen and speaker. Wanted to go to the toilet during the break.It was after much discussion that I decided to go, together with a friend. We were heading towards the toilet when we saw people carrying boxes and boxes of FOOD!!! My goodness! It was an opportunity not to be missed!! We went into the reception room to queue and then the other girls poped out of nowhere and claimed that going to the toilet was an excuse. (I am not that greedy you know.) Anyways, it was quite an interesting seminar (not forgetting the food as well). Went to Orchard after that. It was a tough choice between Orchard, J8 and Suntec. We used the OTAS and the 'put-the-ball-into-the-jar approach to decide on our destination. Went to Far East Shopping Centre. They were looking for some bikini shop or something. Saw one and we tried to get one of the girls to try one for us to see. She asked us when can she wear it if she bought it. The topic on class outing come out again. HAHA! Talked about the Wild Wild Wet, Sentosa, kayaking and dragon boating thing again. Non of us bought it anyway. It was bloody expensive for a tiny piece of cloth. Had an interview after that. One of the guys was late for 20 minutes! Had to walk so darn fasting to the place. We even lost our way even though we had the map. But it was not a wasted trip. The lady we thought was a sports therapist and psychologist turned out to be gay and the interviewer had no choice but to change the questions last minute. We (the copiers) were caught off guard and didn't know what to copy. (Stupid.) It wan't easy interviewing her. But she gave us quite a lot of materials, like flyers of some gay plays and showed us Manazine. But we couldn't bring the Manazine home (underaged). There were quite some lot of disgusting postcards in the office. Oh well, just pretend I didn't see anything. We were telling her that we had a hard time contacting the People Like Us and then she said she was the President of PLU! Imagine our surprise!!! WOW! Not a wasted trip indeed. She said she would introduce some gays to us so we can interview them. HAHAHA! My legs are aching away now.
