My 6 Days of Work

I took on a job to help Kat's father with the deliveries. Job scope involved loading/unloading of goods, being a navigator and speaking to clients with regards to their goods. I must say it is a labour intensive job. Everytime I go home, I feel clean because I perspired a lot.

The goods can be heavy. The weight of a carton of umbrellas is astronomical! Sometimes the goods are light but they are bulky. I am very surprised that everything going out for a delivery can fit so nicely into the van. Uncle Alan has superb judging skills!

I've also been to places I have never set foot in before. The addresses were so foreign to me. Where is Teck Whye Lane? Ceylon Road? Ghim Moh Road? Even for the places which I've heard before like Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Batok, they have not been explored for almost my entire life! So I did manage to learn a bit more about Singapore.

Food! Prices are about near my school's. I always eat from the same rice and dishes stall because the variety is good and the taste is yummy too. Accompanied with that is a cup of iced coffee to keep me awake!

Lastly,

Me! Me! Me! Pick me!!!

I believe Ali was inspired to write this because of the recent advertisements of Mocca.

"As do typical negotiations take place, you give me something in exchange for another thing. In this case, Aaron and I have swapped blog posts! Haha. But since he has given me total authority to write about ANYTHING, I shall write whatever I want and he has to post it all up sans censorship.

Okay everybody. What (oops, i mean WHO) we have here is a 1.85m tall (i'm guessing) big friendly guy up for grabs.

If you like guys to be big and cuddly, with a nice 'little' tummy, Aaron here is perfect for you. More so if you like bass players and people who enjoy their food. (Matt's taken!) Tho' abit on the fair side, Aaron is bound to make you feel protected wherever you go cause he'll tower over you and intimidate all other (shorter) guys. If that fails, he can always just sit on them.

If you're a movie junkie, the deal's even sweeter. What's better than having a guy who can spout lines from V for Vendetta or imitate the actions of Borat. He can even make the movie come alive for you by cooking the meals he see's on the show! (look out for his eggy in a basket post)

And on the topic of food - Mr food lover here is bound to spoil you rotten with food. (no pun intended!) From his long-ago inheritance of a McDonald's pie maker to his smashing rice poppies, you'll be certain you won't starve!

So what are you waiting for? Better catch hold of him before he's taken! :D Hurry hurry!"

Panic! at the Station

I was on my way to Tammy's choir concert with Biru. I met her on the MRT. On the way, an old lady did a pole dance suddenly collapsed on the floor! She was in a slanted kneeling position with her right hand still grabbing the center pole. A few ladies rushed from their seats to help the poor lady. Biru and I just stood there and observed like the rest did. Too many chefs spoil the soup.

Young lady: Someone press the emergency button!
Aaron looks around for the emergency button and sees it, but takes no action.
Young lady: Someone please press the emergency button!
Aaron: Are you sure?
Young lady: Yes!
Aaron: Okay! (Reaches and presses the button)

Intercom through speakers: Please speak into the intercom.
Aaron (speaking into the intercom): Hello? Hello?
Intercom through speakers: (Words were unclear and only made a bit of sense to me)
Aaron (speaking into the intercom): Hello? Anyone there? Helloooooooo... (Heard myself coming from the speakers)
Intercom through speakers: (Words were unclear and only made a bit of sense to me)
Aaron (speaking into the intercom): Hello? Uhh, a lady just fainted and seems to have a problem. Yea.
Aaron returns to his original position and sees someone standing in front of the driver's door uhm chioing.

The next stop, two SMRT employees came to the scene of the crime. They reseted the emergency button and one employee helped the victim. The other asked, "Who was the auntie killer one who pressed the button?". I stepped out with Biru and confessed. Apparently, it was a game that the SMRT man never played. Haha

Anyway, the good news is that the old lady was fine after a while. She was on medication and it made her feel giddy. Thank God for the great experience! :)

My Heirloom

Many of you do not know about this secret that I've kept for years. Ronald McDonald was my great grandfather. He left me this.

Now you know where those tasty pies come from!

Okay. Enough nonsense. I uncovered this during the time when the group needed to do some activity to pass time. It has been a long time since I've touched this thing. I just tried it again at Kat's place today. Clarence was a little worried about me using playdough with it but I assured him that I only used bread.


Cut with a special cutter, flatten the bread with the roller, fill the pie with whatever filling you want, fold the bread and press it down. Voila! Easyy!


I really had a fun time using it and eating miniature pies filled with kaya. Got to try more stuffings. I should bring out the hamburger maker one day too. Muahaha. :)

Un Film Fraçais

I watched a French movie over at Ali's place one night. It was titled "36 Quai des Orfèvres" which is the address of one of the most famous police judicial buildings in Paris.

Génial.

I will not reveal the storyline here. What was good about this movie was the cinematography. It was not explosive or filled with a lot of typical American police action. It is somewhat more calm and collected, more artistic. Almost every scene had music playing in the background to supply the mood. Plus the language made it so stylo milo. I give it 4.5/5 for it.

Foreign films are quite interesting. Some that were really good was "Children of Heaven" and "Helen the Baby Fox". It can give you this expression on your face. :')

Haha and godspeed to you!

Where is the family?

Fiesta Oneness! I wanted to give more thought about it that Friday night during cell. When Matthew asked who wanted to go, I happily raised my hand. During the announcements, Matthew used me as an example and said, "Look at Aaron, he took the courage to step up and join in this event." I was surprised and gave the "why arrow me..." expressions. Anyway, I felt that giving support to these kind of family events are rather important if we are to grow together. Plus it was a one time event so it was okay.

At the registration counter, I was made group leader and I was in greater shock! It was because Major Bob's father-in-law passed away and he was unable to attend the event. Another thing that surprised me was the amazing number of troopers from the youth that signed up for it! There were 13 youths there I reckon? Praise God for that!

The games were rather easy but one may feel embarrassed with the people observing and thinking, "Why are these yellow people running about for?". Did not have time to think what others thought but focus on the team and their participation. It was all held at corp and junction 8 which was good for those who dislike moving around too much. The tonic water that started off the event was... As I drank it down, there was a slight spicy taste to it. Found out that tobasco sauce was added in! Definitely fired up our bodies for the rest of the day. We walked around looking for answers to the treasure hunt. Lots of pictures were taken too.

The whole thing took only about 45 minutes to complete. After that, our group headed to Kim San Leng for tea. I had fun talking with the adults. They share a lot of their experiences like auntie Lucy and her stay in Victor Harbor, South Australia. I believe it was an enjoyable day for everyone. :)

Cheerios!
