today, my day shall be known as hear-all-weird-accent day
ok i work HFC atrium promoting toys @ 930am
i took the train from tiong bahru...dunno whats wrong with my blur brain today, i thought i work at IMM cuz i usually work at IMM for action toyz, but the promotion fair was at HFC, so i took train towards Jookoon, then when the train stopped at queenstown, the door close alr then i realise, eh, wth i work at HFC should take to outram, why am i in this train?!
then i hurry sms Alan my boss tell him i m late, then i at next stop faster change train to the opposite one, then to outram change to purple line to HFC.
reach at 940am =D
late!
then after that i start helping to put price tags (boring)
Alan is a philiphine, he speaks in the weirdest accent and laugh the weirdest laughter i ever heard =.=
so i spent 13 hours of my day talking to him in his weird accent
listening to him in his weird accent
chatting with him in his weird accent
joking with him in his weird accent
and doing everything thats gotta do with his weird accent
2 break times which i spend wisely sitting down...becuz my work of 12hrs cannot sit down! -.-
after that end work at 10pm~ finally~~
i went out to sms roufang, then while sms-ing
this weird accent man talked to me "excuse me may i know where can i change currency?"
then i looked at him, his name was Aramond, age 20, from indonesia out to singapore on a backpacker's trip, without a sing dollar! -.-
then i was like... where the hell u wanna change money at 10.30pm at HFC when all shops are closed o_O
then i asked him, talked to him abit, thats how i got to know about him, then i took pity on him, brought him to the money changer nearby to check, closed-.-
then we walked to vivo de money changer, hoping it is open... closed! -.-
then after that, we were like...how are u gonna spend ur night here in Sg with a dollar?
so i helped him ask a jewellery shop lady, she said all cloes alr at this hr, she said go Mustaffa got 24hr money changer, so we took cab there, i told him to stay in the cab once we reach Mustaffa and i change 200,000 ringit for him, then only convert to S$30.32 -.-
then paid the taxi driver...i had to communicate with that Indonesian man with his weird accent all the way...then it was around 11.30pm alr, i no train home, but nvm, cuz this man no place to stay for the night -.-
so i helped him look for a hotel to check in, we went to the nearby money changer again to change more money...he changed S$ 100 then we went to the hotel..one night stay was $120 O_O!
then i said nvm, lets go look elsewhere, on the way looking for other hotels he kept thanking me wanting to treat me dinner for helping...i keep saying dun wan becuz i had dinner at home my mum cooked for me (only to realise that when i get home, mum didnt cook at all!)
after that all the hotels we checked were $120++++++++
so he said he wanted to check the chinatown hotels, so we cab to chinatown, the first stop..hotel 81, we went there...it was alr 12am, then i asked one night stay for one person, $129.. o_O! more ex than mustaffa!
then we looked around more, we asked around also, then i asked this pair of indian guys, "where to find cheap cheap hotels for one night ah?"
the man said "cheap cheap ah, just over there(points there), but i not sure one man how much, i think 1 hour should be quite cheap"
i was thinking, where gt ppl stay one hr...
then he continued "u ask the girls there, i think some girls charge cheaper"
then i was like O_O no i wasnt looking for girls
then after that sua, we went looking..got alot hotel...dragon hotel. backpackers inn, all charge 25 - 30 dollars, but all full hse -.- then uncle say usually sat weekends night sure full hse, i thinking that i know the reason why..lol
then after that we finally said ok, last one, dont have just check in hotel 81 no choice, it was 1230am
then we went there...$129, he only had $110 with him, i realise we took cab also need money LOL
and then finalllyyy sua i asked another passerby, he said go to outram park there nearby got hotel cheap cheap, then we took the last bet, took cab there again..then saw the hotel $89...cheapest of the day! LOL
then we went there...full house again!!
then the taxi uncle v kind he said i think got hotel 81 nearby tb just opened..i was delighted..becuz v near my hse and i wanna sleep!
then after thatcab there, i hurry went down and ask...LUCKY 2 more rooms!!
we hurry check in, then Aramond said he wanted to treat me supper.
i said nvm la i have dinner at home alr (or so i thought)
then, 1am...we went to coffee shop i see him eat, my stomach growling-.-
then after that eat alr, he made a phone call, then i say i gtg alr, then okok separate, i teach him how to walk back to the hotel...then i walk home -.- 1.30am
reach home...NO FOOD!
but lucky my uncle n aunty came, bought 4 big boxes of donuts, i never tasted a donut as good as this, for the first time...
SIAN RIGHT!

-.-
but but the taxi uncle who drove us to tb hotel 81 said "你那么热心阿,谢谢你”
“你谢我干吗?”
“我帮他谢谢你!”
LOL
uncle helped the stranger to thank me, and that stranger whom i helped thanked me too... hehe =D
so in the end my dinner was donuts... lol
end of story, walked with that strange accent stranger for the whole night, and listened to my boss's strange accent whole day...total fatigue -.-
