work
4 days in Holland Village
Back to work for LTA again and this time round was assigned the Holland Village Taxi Stand. This taxi stand is kinda 'happening', haha..almost everyday you can expect something to happen~ yay~ This taxi stand has not got much people compared to the previous taxi stands I have worked in. The passengers are mostly foreigners, mainly the caucasians and japanese.
So there I was, holding some clip board and being a dedicated taxi-counter surveyor...and of course waiting for something to happen.
I really thought some Osama-to-be was 100m away from me. These policemen really were the attention for the day with their big dog that threatens to rip u apart if you try to be funny. It turns out that they were just doing some routine patrolling, my god, I think I was too suaku because I saw it the very first time.
And then there was an accident, a chain one~ Car 2 did not hit Car 1 and Car 3 did not hit Car 2 but Car 4 hit Car 3. It happened because of an old man. This old man~
I took this photo the second day because it turned out that everyday, this old man trys the same stunt! With his trolley, he will walk along this path with difficulty because I think his legs have abit of a problem and attempt to cross th road just about 30 steps away from the traffic light and because there is barrier, he will discover he will still need to walk to the traffic light there in order to get across.
And he comes back with something everyday and for the 2nd day a sofa and a red cap. I dunno where he gets them but he will usually appear again after about 5 hrs later. First day, it turned out that he went to NTUC when cold storage was just right across the road and NTUC the other end. And there will always be good people around who will volunteer to help and I think this old man kinda take it that PEOPLE will help him. Just look at the second day, 3 people lead him to cross the road and on his way back, these kind souls helped.
I wanted to stop him from crossing the road but I missed him maybe because I was busy with something else... =) Remembered I was supposed to be working, not taking pictures and minding other people's business?
And then, I saw Denise Keller and Fiona Xie and they were fliming for some Kopi-show, they sure were pretty~
Something good about having ur cameras with you... *winks*
And then, there was this sad sad sad incident. To cut the story short, a Japanese 2 old month baby fell down from the pram due to the carelessness of the mother. He bruised his/her knees and hit his head on the tyre of the vehicle and I happened to witness it. No pictures taken because I was involved in it. I ran to the baby and carried the baby later when the mother just recklessly left the baby with the elder sister which is probably the age of Tingting. The elder sister has earlier indirectly cause the baby to fall and still was in a state of shock. So the baby was there bawling and the sister staring at the baby with a stunned look while the mother packed the grocery into the boot. I carried the baby and he/she was so fragile!!! and i stroked his/her chest and tell him/her is ok. Rubbed his head gently and then he stoppped crying. The mother was funny, she did not even attempt to rubbed the baby's head after I passed back to her. Maybe Japanese culture doesn't have this, but I guess you cannot stop accidents from happening. I hope the baby is alright. And guess what, after that I turned and I saw Fiona Xie right in the face and I was so near to her and I was sweating profusely after the trauma I was in earlier. I got so shocked I did not realise it her, probably I am too traumatised but I saw HX frantically pointing and mouthing Fiona Xie and that's when I realise ohhh.. Anyway, too late to take pictures and I wasn't in the mood anyway. Even after the whole work, my whole mind was still on the baby, thinking if she/he was ok.
On a lighter note, I got a gift from HX. Heee... GUess what is it???
It is a unique heart shape pendent from Tianpo. Hee, just beside us got this shopping centre and there is this Tianpo shop inside offering 50% discount for everything and He got me a pendent. =)
And there is this nice shop that sells really nice and pretty fruits drinks. I had the mango float and it was soooo nice and I'm still thinking about it now.
HAHA.And this is the Watermelon vanilla. It has jelly (as in those in Ice jelly) on the bottom and vanilla ice-cream on top with watermelon juice and some tapoles-like stuff which tastes real nice too although not as nice as the mango wan.
And then I had some malt candy by some veri Old Ah Ma, so I guess the malt candy is very traditional wan. HAHAHA, IT tastes very nice and sweet...so is the persons in the photo. HAHAHAHA
And minus all the photo-taking and Kpo-ing around, I am still doing my job...
And there, get your camera phone quick! HAHAHA! And I will be off to Genting this Sunday and I will be back on Tuesday. =) A And July is coming~ Time files~ So long~ I will come up with more photos!!
JOanne thought hard on 5:49:00 PM.
