First day on a job since a long time. That was on last saturday. I just got this 1 month job at the Alliance Francaise de Singapour doing gallery sitting. Gallery sitting you ask? Basicly what you do is just like a security guard. Haha. I juz sit here from 11am to 7pm daily except on saturday which is from 11am to 5pm. All i have to do is count how many people visit the gallery each day, maybe share views of the exhibits with the visitors and just make sure things is in order. What i like about this 1 month-long job is that you get to sit down and do whatever you like and get paid. Haha. This gallery i'm 'sitting' on is an exhibition by Raymond Depardon, who is a black and white photographer, in conjuction to the Month of Photography Singapore 2007. There are 4 exhibitions, each featuring different photographer, at 4 different venues. The venues are at Alliance Francaise de Singapour (Newton), City Hall, The Arts House (Old Parliment) and School of Art, Design and Media (NTU). Great displays indeed. Beautiful.
My Workspace. Love the Chair. Cool.
So after work on saturday, went straight to the National Stadium for the International Friendly between Singapore and Australia. Wasn't able to usher on that day due to work, so i just went there to enjoy the match. Futhermore it was free! Hehee. The Devils, except me and Bird, was ushering, so i got to enter for free. Grandstand seats as usual. So me, my bro, Noor and her friend ,which i didn't catch her name, enjoyed the game until the end. Singapore played badly and it was great to watch Harry Kewell, who came in the second-half as a sub, and Mark Viduka scores. It's funny to watch Australia play against Singapore effortlessly, especially Mark Schwarzer. The highlight of the day for me wasn't on the field but on the stands instead. There is this group of chinese girls wearing orange, who is part of the stadium closing ceremony organizing team, who were cheering Singapore on, but i find them irritating and a bunch of attention-seekers. In the second-half, out of sudden they just screamed 'GO SINGAPORE!' and immediately an Indian uncle who is seated a few seats above me turned around and shouted back 'DIAM LAH PUKI!'. Everyone seated in that area started laughing at them, who turned red immediately. And i guess that's the end of the National Stadium. It was the closing ceremony on that day. Had a lot of memories there as a child. Used to go there with my dad back in the early 1990s for the Malaysian Cup. It was great and something i would not forget. Best of the best.
After the match, me and the Devils went for our dinner at Beach Road. After dinner, proceed back to Serangoon and we chilled at stage till around 3. Went home and knocked out straight as i'm so shagged after the day's event.
The Last Time the Torch is Lighted
The Players Lining up for the Match
Next day, woke up to a very bad headache. Started to vomit. The feeling is so fucked up. Furthermore i'm vomitting on an empty stomache. I don't know why i feeling bad like that that Sunday morning, mengandong agaknye, but it feels as i'm having a hangover.
Slept until like 430 in the afternoon. Woke up and get ready to go out to meet the devils. We are all accompanying bro wondersta who is going for a haircut at Far East Plaza. Reached there at about 6pm. After that, we went for our dinner at Cahaya. Met a few of 'long-time-no-see' friends there like dee belo and boy (Shah) and Hidayah kecik.
Conversations over 'after-dinner smoke' led us to Marina Square for bowling and arcade.
Once in Marina Square, headed straight for the Superbowl. It was crazy there. There was this group of Thai people bowling just a few lanes away from us. One of them was jumping up and down and shouting his ass off. Fanatik nak mampos. Step gerek. Macam monyet pun ade.
First game CHAMPION: ROMEO SWEETSTARR
Second game CHAMPION: BIRD
After bowling, with our fingers, hands and arms aching, we went to the arcade next door. The Devils in racing mode played the daytona race. Satu-satu macam racer. Then Bird went to play this shooting game. FUCKING COOL AND AWESOME! This game you really have to move your body like you have to really duck down so that you character in the screen will duck down to avoid bullets or to reload. COOL KAN!
All that bowling and gaming made us hungry again. So we proceed back to Serangoon to have supper at the Prata House. NASI GORENG DAGING MERAH. MARVELOUS. DELICIOUS. TERPLANTINGTINGTONG.
With full tank, headed next to my house to catch a late night movie. FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER.
Ratings from the Devils: 5/10. Barely made it. Storyline too simple. Could have been better.
Our next movie target is Transformers. Hope we won't be disappointed again.
After they left, lieing on my mattress, can't sleep, then someone IMed me. That dimple girl. Haha. Chat with her until about 5 when i forced myself to sleep, so i could get some energy for work at 11am.
Now, i'm at work posting this up. Haha. Fucking bored. Well. See you around. Got to find something else to do.
Peace.
Cheers~
