2 weeks 5 days to Singapore!

Been a really tiring week for me. Had been going to the other centre i was originally planned to be assigned to but was scrapped bcos i was too valuable at the main centre =X.

So anyway, i was at MyDinh(the other centre) to invigilate a whole week's of final exams at some apparently pretty respectful school called Lomonoxop High.

Funny name right.

LOMO!

Wake up at 6:30, end work at 4. CUI. 5 days straight, one day i was so tired i just fell aslp while talking to Jimmy.

But it was there i managed to really know Jovan, Santiago, Jennifer, Elizabeth and Thuy. Was treated to stuffs and was well taken care off.

Invigilation was very tiring, it was boring most of the time and the students loved to talk. It was easy to threaten them but they were stubborn. The taxi fare for the whole week was $91. And does not include my own personal cab fare back home....Claims ftw.

Im gonna miss the students that apparently look up to me judging by all the "thanks" I got, particularly from the Primary 5 and 6s students. Theres also the kebab bread =) SHIOK. $1 and its settled. Mr, Breakfast is served!!!

I was taking the cab alone on Friday to MyDinh when i realized that im taking a cab all alone in a foreign country! I suddenly felt so scared but yet I already had the experience to handle the drivers(touts were everywhere) and i knew the directions from a place to another already so I managed to somehow calm myself down.

Went back to PNT(main centre) daily to catch up and was totally beaten by then.

Seeing familiar and welcoming faces really does help in making your day not suck more than what it could.

Finally saw the country manager today and he looked as Singaporean as any Singaporean can be. Despite being in the country for like 6 years or smth and learning the vietnamese language proficiently, he dresses in berms and slippers.

thing is, YOU DON'T SEE VIETNAMESE IN BERMS AND SLIPPERS here, EVER.

Gonna get started on MP already, no time to lose. tsk.

Today, a cab driver knew i was a foreigner(YES!) and greeted me, and funny thing, he asked me if i wanted to go to the airport -.-. Joker.

Time is passing super slowly as the date to return draws closer. I want to see the country with

1) Roads dominated by cars.
2) Traffic lights that are actually prominently located.
3) Food that doesn't actually touch bare hands.
4) Taxis that actually on aircon the bulk of the time.
5) Pathways that are actually flat and not filled with dried mud.

arghh.

The night before my flight. im so NOT gonna sleep, im gonna count the minutes and i will purposely reach the airport early so i can smell the jet engines spooling up the dust on the runway. Singapore Singapore Singapore Singapore Singapore.

10am flight, report 2.5hrs before, thats....7:30 -.-.

45mins to airport that is over 50km away, thats like 6:50 g2g.

doesnt that mean waking up at like 6am? WTF.

arghh.

Time please past fast.
