Last Sunday, I met up with the girls for lunch and we were "pouring out our sorrows" that we had from school or work.
We talked for hours and eventually we reached the time for us to say goodbye. During that moment of silence, our dear Shu Hui suddenly said, "WHY MUST I TOUCH OLD PEOPLE'S BOOBS?!"
Then, KT echoed, "WHY MUST I ACCOMPANY THE OLD JAPANESE PROFESSORS FOR DINNER?!"
I joined in, "WHY MUST I HAVE TO BE A BABYSITTER?!"
I suppose Michelle's one will be like this, "WHY MUST WORK WITH SUCH PEOPLE?!"
It was hilarious at that point of time and thinking of it now, I still find it ironic that even though a job/task always comes with a job scope, it is always undefined. Most of the time, we just gullibly work and till that one point, we realise that we have been doing things that we are either not required or sad to say, required but unwilling to do.
Usually, these so-called "job requirements" are definitely not stated in our job scope. What can we do? We can only blame ourselves for not voicing it out. Honestly, do we have a choice? I mean, do we even have a choice to voice out without it affecting our appraisal or working relationship?
Hmm, maybe it all depends on the severity of the case.
I sound very ambiguous here because you got to experience it yourself and then you will understand what I mean.
Just take me for example, I always thought that my mian responsibility is to ensure that pupils learn. But of course, I am also required to be, ARE YOU READY?

Of course, the list can go on forever but what can I do except complain "Y MUST WE DO XXX"
Last Saturday, I got the opportunity to watch the Lion King musical @ MBS with Des. Can I just tell you how freaking awesome the musical is! The performers can sing really well! Oh and that high-pitched voice of the baboon character really jolted me out of my sleepy self and paid full attention throughout the musical. It was so spectacular that I still think it is pretty worth the price we paid for the tickets!
Furthermore, the whole storyline follows exactly to the cartoon that we watched when we were young. You would have no problem understanding the story! The perfomance put up by all performers (including the younger ones) was simply splendid!
If you have not watched, what are you waiting for!
So, the day started with Des coming to pick me up after my appointment. Although the musical was at 8pm, we decided to explore MBS since it was our virgin trip. Oh man, it is huge and all that walking with no benches or chairs within the shopping area is definitely a smart move because it forces encourages shoppers to patronise the many TWG atas cafes for tea.
Ok, enough of me talking, time to share the pics taken...

Then, we were so tired from all those walking and decided to have a drink at TCC.

this tiramisu was FOC. As they were understaffed, we waited pretty long for our table and drinks to be served. Seeing how patient we were, the waiter who served us came with a tiramisu and told us it was on the house. So sweet right? Great customer service.

Then we saw people gathering outside MBS and so we followed. There we saw the Marina floating platform opposite us and people were watching the NDP rehearsal live!

I had a really great time and look forward to more such opportunities to watch musicals.
