Wednesday was my 2nd and last day volunteering... Much better than Monday... more people... so I didn't feel like I wasn't doing my job.... Lotsa interesting people... some old auntys... old uncles... young people... and weeeiiird people... here's an example..
There was a... hmm.. an elderly indian man...but not too old... and he started asking the exhibition care taker person about the whale... so she didn't know how to handle him and had a helpless look on her face so i went over to see what i could do (coz she's just in charge of making sure nobody destroys the exhibit).. he started asking.. "Is this like a fish ah? people catch and eat ahh?" then i explained.. it's a mammal... not a fish.. before finishing the explanation he asked again "so can eat ah? do people catch it and eat? It's so big.. like those big fish can eat wan ah?? " then i really... didn't really know how to answer actually...i remembered the fact sheet said something abt being hunted for blubber but not as food... so i told him mainly for blubber... never heard of people eating... and he continued with another string of weird questions...and before he left he like "ok... now i go to the maxis there... i want to ask them how to use this sms bonus lah... i got 1200 i dunno how to use... ok.. now 3.30... later 4.30 i come back... " after he left both of us felt so ... -.-''' ...
Another interesting one was an elderly aunty who spoke to me in cantonese... she asked... "this wan 32-inch ah?" then i was blur... coz the whale is 25 feet.... so i told her 25 and pointed to the board with the diagram and dimension written... then she said "ohh.. 25 only ahh.. no 32?? " then i realised... she talking abt the TV?? so i asked her and yea... she thought we were selling TV's... another -.-''' moment... total people who thought we're selling TV's was 3....
Overall it was a nice experience... some people were really interested in the whale... but most of them just took pictures of it...
Anyways... i saw something cuuute happen today :3 .... i was cycling and from a distance i saw 2 sheets of brownish-white paper get blown by the wind onto the middle of the road... i thought it was cats at first but one of the papers was flapping constantly so i thought..cats can't be so... repetitive.. then as i went nearer it was 2 cats in the middle of the road!!! they belong to someone in the neighbourhood ... then i made sure i didn't roll over them... then i started to replay the thing... it's like the cats roooooolllled from the side to the middle and just "piak" on the middle of the road... imagine it... so cute...... i used to not like cats but i tink cats are really cute now :3 .. ok...maybe not ALL cats... but i don't think ALL dogs are cute either so... cats and dogs have equal ranking now :D ... you readers must think i've gone nuts XD ...
